With the Concept 7 Protection, BMW opens a new door in its special protection line-up. It is based on an M760e xDrive, it protects against handguns, and from the outside it looks like a perfectly ordinary 7 Series. That is exactly the point.

These are high-security vehicles for heads of state, diplomats and people facing a concrete threat. Below th

BMW is building the suspense: with a short teaser, Munich is setting the stage for the new BMW iX4, the first fully electric Sports Activity Coupé of the Neue Klasse. The world premiere should be just around the corner. The Electric Successor to the X4 The iX4, internally coded NA7, will also be the only powertrain option. BMW has confirmed there will be no combustion-engined successor to the G02. This makes it the sportier sibling of the iX3. Design: iX3 Front, Coupé Rear Up

Under the original settlement agreement with the city of Regensburg, BMW committed to building 400 ca

August 2026 was a month of contrasts for BMW and MINI: while the Neue Klasse underlined the brand’s technological future with new safety features and research projects, MINI and classic model updates simultaneously celebrated summer, open-top driving, and British heritage. On top of that came a spectacular showing at Monterey Car Week and, once again, numerous motorsport successes. Here’s our recap of the month’s most important stories.

In the coming days, showroom doors across Germany and Switzerland will open for two of BMW's most important new arrivals this year: the all-electric i3 and the fifth-generation X5. For customers, this marks the first chance to experience both models in person before official sales actually begin. The i3 Sedan: The Second Neue Klasse Model With the i3, BMW is bringing a proper sedan to its new electric platform for the first time, following the iX3 SUV that kicked things off.

The Neue Klasse continues to gain momentum: series production of the new BMW i3 has started today at the BMW Group Plant Munich. Following the iX3, this marks the second Neue Klasse model to roll off the line – and with a remarkably steep ramp-up curve, according to BMW. Early order start meets strong demand The BMW i3 has been orderable since mid-June – significantly earlier than originally planned.
