Overview

• BMW says the 2026 iX3 debuts the NA5 dedicated EV architecture with Gen6 round‑cell batteries and up to 805 km (500 miles) of range, targeting a U.S. start around $60,000 with lower‑priced variants planned for early 2027.
• Company leaders have confirmed every model will adopt Neue Klasse styling, with more than 40 new or updated vehicles due by 2027 and all models arriving from 2026 onward being new.
• Prototypes of the next 3-Series show slimmer kidney grilles and new LED signatures; reporting indicates the electric i3 will use Neue Klasse underpinnings while combustion 3-Series variants stay on CLAR, with an unveiling expected next year for 2027 models.
• BMW’s X1 and iX1 are slated for a radical redesign that applies Neue Klasse cues outside and a Panoramic iDrive interior, with reporting pointing to a possible 2026 debut.
• The facelifted M5 has been spied testing with uncertainty about a full Neue Klasse exterior, but it is expected to adopt iDrive X and may offer an optional front‑passenger screen, with production slated to start in July 2027.
