Overview

• BMW has confirmed every model will adopt the Neue Klasse design language as it targets more than 40 new or updated vehicles by the end of 2027.
• Next-generation 3-Series test cars near Munich now show production-ready headlights and a Vision Neue Klasse–inspired face with smaller kidney grilles and new LED signatures.
• The upcoming electric i3 is expected to use the Neue Klasse platform, while the combustion 3‑Series will reportedly remain on CLAR with four- and six-cylinder options.
• A facelifted M5 prototype has been spotted in Germany, and reporting suggests the mid-cycle update may not get a full Neue Klasse redesign, with production expected to begin in July 2027.
• The refreshed 5 Series/M5 is expected to adopt iDrive X, and a BMW UI/UX executive says buyers increasingly want a dedicated front-passenger screen.
