BMW continues preparing for the arrival of the first Neue Klasse model at the Regensburg factory, where the next-generation iX1 could hit the assembly line in a little over a year.
The once-in-a-lifetime exhibition celebrated 50 years of BMW Art Cars, from Alexander Calder’s 1975 3.0 CSL to Julie Mehretu’s 2024 M Hybrid V8.
The V10-powered super sedan arrives as part of the free Spec IV update, which rolls out in two stages, with one launching in October and the other in December.
The new 220 Gran Coupe "Original" costs ¥4.98 million ($31,890) while retaining its 170-hp mild-hybrid powertrain and key technology.
BMW is showing off the new iX3 by having it haul a mobile photography studio across France while powering its equipment on the road.
