BMW has described 2026 as one of the busiest years in its history, with roughly 40 new models planned through 2027 as it moves most of its range onto the reborn 'Neue Klasse' platform.
Leading the charge is a reinvented i3, no longer the quirky city car of old, but a sleek all-electric saloon promising up to 440 miles on a charge. Alongside it, the next-generation iX3 introduces BMW's sixth-generation eDrive technology and 800-volt architecture for faster charging, plus a new AI-powered personal assistant inside the cabin.
A new petrol 3 Series is also on the way, closely echoing the i3's design, while enthusiasts get the M2 CS with 523 horsepower. Whatever your taste in saloons, coupés or SUVs, BMW has something new arriving.
