Gurugram. The new BMW X6 M60i xDrive was launched in India today. This performance Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) will be available in the country as a Completely Built-Up Unit (CBU) model from today onwards.

The new BMW X6 M60i xDrive is a bold expression of authority on the road, where uncompromised performance meets commanding luxury. Designed to indulge every journey, it surrounds its passengers with refined comfort, striking design, and intelligent functionality. Powered by a newly developed V8 petrol engine, the roaring 4.4-litre engine is a high-performance masterpiece.

Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO, BMW Group India said, " The new BMW X6 M60i xDrive is an absolute powerhouse engineered to command the road with an unmistakable, muscular stance. Positioned at the pinnacle of expressive luxury, this sports activity coupé is crafted for individuals who demand a distinct lifestyle. At its heart lies the legendary V8 engine, offering raw, emotional power. The X6 M60i is not just an automobile; it is a bold manifestation of exclusivity and engineering supremacy, designed to dominate the road and imagination of true driving connoisseurs."

The car is available at an ex-showroom price of INR 1,77,90,000.

*Price prevailing at time of invoicing will be applicable. Ex-showroom prices inclusive of GST as applicable but excludes Road Tax, Tax Collected at Source (TCS), RTO, statutory taxes/fees, other local tax/cess levies and insurance. Price and options are subject to change without prior notice. For information, please contact local MINI Dealer.

The new BMW X6 M60i is available in six exciting paintworks – Aventurine Red, Manhattan Metallic, Brooklyn Grey, Black Sapphire, Mineral White and Isle of Man Green. Upholstery is available in the standard Sensafin trim with an option of Silverstone, Tacora Red/Black, Black and Cognac.

With BMW India Financial Services, customers can experience unparalleled convenience with BMW SMART Finance. Customers can now own the new BMW X6 M60i through BMW Financial Services with an assured buyback of 60% after 3 years/10,000 km to ensure complete peace of mind. Further, the purchase can be enhanced and customized by financing the BMW Service Inclusive, BMW Secure Advance and Extended Warranty packages too.

The new BMW X6 M60i.

The new BMW X6 M60i enthralls with its distinctive design and coupé profile. The long, swooping roofline and crisply painted lines generate a dynamically stretched silhouette. The new BMW X6 features slim Adaptive LED headlight units with arrow-shaped daytime driving light elements, specified with M Shadowline lights. Kidney grille surrounded in matt black featuring vertical double ribs, and the M logo exude M style on the front of the new BMW X6 M60i. The Gloss black M Exterior mirrors adds to the aggressive look of the SAC. M-specific side skirts and M High-gloss Shadowline extended trim reflect the agile character of the new BMW X6. The athletically taut surfacing of the flanks and the car’s muscular shoulders transition smoothly into its equally powerful rear end design. The rear apron has an insert in Dark Shadow, while the exhaust tailpipe trims are trapezoidal in shape. Another unmissable design feature of the Sports Activity Coupé is the slim rear lights that reach far into the tailgate. Their light signature is shaped by the familiar L shape of the rear light and brake light bars. The BMW X6 M60i xDrive leaves the factory as standard on 21-inch M light-alloy wheels with runflat tyres.

The new BMW X6 M60i is fitted with the M Sport package Pro as standard which also includes an M Sport braking system with red brake callipers, a quad-pipe M Sport exhaust system, M seat belts and a rear spoiler in Black high-gloss, pointing to the standout performance attributes of the eight-cylinder model.

The new BMW X6 M60i will be available in six striking colours - Aventurine Red, Manhattan Metallic, Brooklyn Grey, Black Sapphire, Mineral White and Isle of Man Green. Inside, the cabin can be tailored with Sensafin upholstery available in Silverstone, Tacora Red/Black, Black and Cognac. For those seeking a truly bespoke finish, further individualisation is possible with around 40+ BMW Individual special paintwork shades (including metallic variants such as Atlantis and Velvet Blue, as well as solid or matt finishes) along with BMW Individual extended leather trim ‘Merino’ in Ivory white, coffee, tartufo and black ensure the vehicle is a unique reflection of your taste.

The fully digital BMW Curved Display is at the heart of the interior redesign for the new BMW X6 M60i. It is made up of a 12.3-inch information display behind the steering wheel and a control display with a screen diagonal of 14.9 inches – both located behind a single glass surface. The newly designed instrument panel serves as the perfect stage for the BMW Curved Display. Its horizontal structure emphasises the width of the cabin, while the surfacing in leather-like Sensafin, with its aesthetic and haptic qualities, draws further attention to the optimised premium character of the interior. Adding an extra touch of elegance and quality is the broad, smoothly curving trim element in standard fine wood with high-gloss metal effect for the new BMW X6 M60i xDrive model. Another feature is the ambient light bar with crystalline surface structure and highly effective LED backlighting integrated below the trim element in the front passenger area. The model lettering – “///M” – is added to the light bar’s graphic. Exclusive glass applications as optional for toggle, iDrive controller and controls can be specified with the Crafted Clarity option.

The standard comfort seats in the new BMW X6 offer outstanding lateral support through dynamically taken corners. They are ventilated, feature lumbar support and offer electric adjustment options for the seat height, seat angle, backrest angle and backrest width – including a memory function on the driver’s side. Also available as an option for the driver and front passenger is massage function with eight massage programs, each with three intensity levels for muscle activation and relaxation. With its 16 speakers and 464-watt amplifier, the Harman Kardon surround sound system further enhances the on-board acoustic experience. The optional Alcantara M headliner adds to the cabin’s premiumness. Additionally, Soft-close doors enhance convenience and safety with smooth, effortless operation.

The new BMW X6 M60i xDrive model is powered by a newly developed V8 petrol engine. The 4.4-litre power unit can trace its genes back to engines used in renowned BMW M and racing machines. The engine produces an output of 530 hp and 750 Nm maximum torque. It is accompanied by a characteristic sound thanks to the M Sport exhaust unit. The 48V battery setup significantly improves performance as well as efficiency. The car completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/hr in 4.3 seconds, and has a top speed of 250 km/h.

The eight-speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission performs smooth, almost imperceptible gearshifts. At any time, in any gear, the transmission collaborates perfectly with the engine, enabling it to develop its full power and efficiency. For even greater driving pleasure, it is available with steering wheel paddle shifters and cruise control with braking function as standard. The Integral Active Steering, with rear-wheel steer, enhances agility at low speeds and stability at high speeds.

BMW xDrive, the intelligent all-wheel drive technology monitors the driving situation and is quick to respond to ensure maximum traction, agility and vehicle stability. The standard M Sport differential enhances driving engagement. The Adaptive M suspension fitted as standard results in a noticeably firmer connection to the body. Electronically controlled dampers are on hand to refine handling dynamics as well as primary ride comfort. M Sport brakes provide excellent braking performance and intuitive feel, whether negotiating city streets or driving around a circuit on a track day. The brake callipers are painted red and display the M logo.

BMW ConnectedDrive technology breaks the innovation barrier and turns the car into an interconnected digital device. Host of ConnectedDrive features include Digital Key Plus, Emergency Call, Real-time Traffic Information and Remote Services through MyBMW app. BMW Live Cockpit Professional includes the freestanding 14.9” BMW Curved Display with Navigation, a 12.3-inch digital information display behind the steering wheel and BMW Head-up Display.

The latest BMW iDrive with Operating System 8.5, offers all the possibilities for interaction between occupants and the vehicle – using touch or speech. It is complemented by the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant system which has a self-learning intelligence that adopts a driver’s individual habits, proactively provides useful tips on new driving functions and seamlessly integrates smartphone apps. Wireless smartphone integration and regular Remote Software Upgrades ensure that the car is always up to date.

My BMW App keeps an eye on vehicle status and includes ‘Learning Navigation’ which offers destination suggestions and traffic information based on driving habits. BMW Digital Key Plus turns a smartphone into a vehicle key enabling remote locking / unlocking and driving the car.

The spread of driver assistance systems is more extensive than ever. Parking Assistant Professional with 360 surround view makes parking in tight spots easier. The Reversing Assistant provides unmatched support in reversing out of a parking spot or through narrow driveways. It keeps a record of the last 200 metres driven and assists by taking over the steering.

The all-new MINI Countryman C.
The all-new MINI Countryman C represents the comprehensive transformation that is reflected in its design language ‘Charismatic Simplicity’. This combines the traditional MINI values with progressive innovations in a particularly authentic way, reducing the design to essentials. The Countryman C shares a purist design that takes equal account of the urban character and the innovative spirit of MINI community.

The modern, minimalistic design with clear surfaces and wider wheel arches reinforces the look of the all-new MINI Countryman C. The character of this SUV is underlined through the vertical orientation of body details. Its dominating proportions with best-in-segment height and ground clearance lend this SUV an unmistakably powerful presence on the road. Its distinctive octagonal front grille, edgier LED headlights and taillights, short overhangs along with the very sculptural bonnet enhance the overall appeal. The visual three-part division into the vehicle body, surrounding window area and contrasting roof ensure the Countryman C SUV is instantly recognizable. The surfaces look particularly exciting thanks to an integrative treatment of details. Flush door handles and absence of side scuttles underline the clear and modern overall impression. A clearly defined shoulder area gives a decidedly athletic body. The striking front appearance is further enhanced by three selectable Signatures Modes for the Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) of the LED headlights and the redesigned matrix rear lights. All three modes begin and end with a specially orchestrated welcome and goodbye animation. 

Minimalist design, digital innovations and an immersive user experience are the hallmarks of the interior. The MINI Interaction Unit takes a quantum leap into the digital age with the hi-resolution 240mm Circular OLED touchscreen display.  The cockpit is divided into an upper and lower section, with vertical door handles and air vents in the upper area. This emphasizes the upright and larger overall impression of the spacious SUV. The sportiness is elevated with the electronically adjustable JCW Sports Seats in Vescin Vintage Brown. The driver seat also gets the Seat Massage functionality courtesy of Active Seat. The rear seats can recline up to 25° and can slide up to 130 mm.  The new steering wheel design adds to hallmark MINI go-kart feeling. The large 505 litre boot space can be expanded to up to 1450 litre by folding down the rear seats.

The interior experience is mainly created by the textile surfaces. A specially developed knitting process is used to create the easy-care, versatile structure of the two-tone textile. The dashboard and door panels are completely chrome-free and leather-free, using recycled 2D knitted fabric lining. The textile surface is made luminescent by ambient lighting and projections from the MINI Interaction Unit that make even rush hour relaxing.

The all-new MINI Countryman C offers the innovative and efficient petrol engine powered by latest MINI TwinPower Turbo technology. It mobilises a peak output of 115 kW/156 hp and produces a maximum torque of 240 Nm. The 7-Speed Double Clutch Steptronic Sport Transmission offers even more efficient, comfortable and sporty driving due to a broader gear spread and smaller engine speed steps.

The MINI Operating System 9 is optimized for touchscreen and voice control and provides advanced connectivity for maximum ease of use. The MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant (IPA) can be activated by saying “Hey MINI” to control a wide range of functions such as navigation, telephony, entertainment and others. The innovative MINI Digital Key Plus turns the smartphone into a car key via the MINI App and can be transferred to different users, along with their personal vehicle settings. Head-up Display projects all relevant information directly in the driver’s line of sight. A Fisheye Camera  captures selfies, fun moments and videos with sound, inside the cabin. Harman Kardon Hifi Sound System with 12-speaker setup is an aural treat. Other features include Navigation, Remote Services, Remote Software Upgrades, Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, Teleservices, In-Car Weather and Intelligent Emergency Call.  

With the MINI Experience Modes,  one can choose from eight immersive driving experiences, from the race-inspired ‘Go-Kart Mode’ to the energy-saving ‘Green Mode’ or the lively ‘Vivid Mode’ and more. MINI Experience Modes extend the indoor experience by tuning the light, sound and graphics settings.

A distinctive Toggle Bar Island gives access to the important driving functions including start/stop, gear selector, parking brake, experience modes and volume control. General storage area below the toggle bar provides space for a smartphone to be wirelessly charged.

Advanced assistance systems such as Cruise Control and Parking Assistant Plus with 360 degree Camera increase comfort, control and safety and relieve the driver from monotonous and less demanding aspects of driving. With Comfort Access, the car is locked / unlocked automatically as it recognises the key is at a distance of less than 1.5 meters.

The new BMW F 450 GS
Design of the new BMW 450 GS expresses a rugged yet refined adventure character, blending compact proportions with purposeful surfaces. The iconic ‘GS’ design philosophy carries itself to the newest member of the GS family. The first unmistakable GS design feature in the front look is the ‘X’ shaped full LED headlight. The characteristic flyline runs from the front ‘beak’ across to the tank and seat and continues to the slim rear. The familiar beak is a mix of black while the side panels are in body color. The ‘tooth’ typical of a GS is finished in matte Dime Silver metallic.

The bike comes with a two-piece seat (845 mm) as standard. With its flat, straight design, it provides ideal ergonomic conditions for comfort and dynamics for most riders. The body and the 14-liter tank underneath are designed to provide optimal support and a good knee fit when sitting or riding off-road in a standing position.

The Base and Exclusive variants are available in Cosmic Black Color scheme while the GS Trophy variant is presented in Racing Blue Metallic with accents in red and white. The tank center cover on the GS Trophy variant is in Snaefell white and on all other variants it’s matt black. The tank side panel is painted in the respective variant color.

The BMW F 450 GS comes with lightweight yet robust cast aluminum wheels. The bike is fitted with tubeless tires for road and off-road use, sized 100/90-19 at the front and 130/80-17 at the rear. The front wheel features a floating single-disc brake with a Brembo 4-piston fixed caliper and a 310 mm brake disc diameter for efficient, stable deceleration. A single disc brake with 1-piston floating caliper and 240 mm diameter is used on the rear wheel.

The newly developed chassis of the BMW F 450 GS relies on a welded tubular steel frame with integrated forged parts. This design combines low weight with high robustness, thus meeting the demands of both dynamic road riding and demanding off-road passages. The front wheel is guided via upside-down telescopic forks, while the rear wheel is guided via an aluminum hollow cast double-armed swinging arm with a central spring strut featuring progressive damping. The stanchions are in gold finish, as is the tapered aluminum handlebar. The fork bridge is forged. The suspension strut spring features adjustable preload and rebound damping.

The new BMW F 450 GS is powered by a newly developed two-cylinder inline engine that boasts an outstanding powertrain for dynamic riding pleasure. Its liquid-cooled engine produces a maximum output of 48 hp at 8,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 43 Nm at 6,750 rpm. The lightweight, powerful, high-torque and smooth-running engine is installed transversely in the direction of travel. Unique to the motorcycle market, it features a crankshaft offset by 135 degrees which makes every ride extremely smooth, with hardly any vibrations while also providing a thrilling, offbeat exhaust note.

The newly designed six-speed transmission transmits torque to the drive via an X-ring chain. A clear highlight is the bike’s clutchless operation, thanks to Shift Assistant Pro.It performs smooth, almost imperceptible gear shifts. At any time, in any gear, the transmission collaborates perfectly with the engine.

Easy Ride Clutch (ERC),a segment-first highlight, is a further development of a centrifugal clutch which automates starting and stopping without any stalling. In combination with Shift Assistant Pro, the ERC is a complete game changer. ERC handles low-speed engagement, whereas Shift Assistant Pro handles upshifts and downshifts, together offering a fully automated-like experience.

To ensure pure motorcycling in every scenario, the BMW F 450 GS offers four riding modes: 'Rain', 'Road', 'Enduro' and ‘Enduro Pro’. The ‘Enduro Pro’ mode is specially designed for off-road use with rough terrain tires. Wheelie control and rear wheel ABS are deactivated in this mode while DTC and throttle response can be customized.

A range of standard safety equipment ensures rider safety on all adventures. ABS Pro offers increased safety when braking in curves by enabling ABS-assisted braking while leaning. Dynamic Brake Control offers increased safety when braking, even in difficult situations, by preventing unintentional throttle application. The Engine Drag Control prevents the rear wheel from locking or skidding during abrupt throttle closure or rapid downshifting.

The modern digital experience of the BMW F 450 GS focuses on convenience, efficiency and supporting the rider with relevant information. The best-in-class large 6.5-inch TFT display ensures optimum readability, even under difficult lighting conditions. The ‘Pure Ride Screen’ and ‘Sport Screen’ displays are tailored to the BMW GS world and provide detailed information on DTC, braking power, and lean angle. The TFT display is linked to the multi-controller on the left handlebar, allowing for quick and intuitive operation. A USB-C socket in the handlebar area is perfect for mobile charging on the ride.

A comprehensive range of original BMW Motorrad accessories such as protection parts, luggage parts and navigation equipments are available for further individualisation of the BMW F 450 GS.

Gurugram. The new BMW M2 CS was launched in India today. The car will be sold in the country as a Completely Built-Up (CBU) model and will be available in limited quantities.

Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO, BMW Group India said, “The new BMW M2 CS is optimized for the ultimate thrill. By bringing this global track icon to Indian shores, we are catering to a growing community of enthusiasts who demand an uncompromising, pure-blooded driving experience.  And while the M2 CS is born for the racetrack, it’s ready to take you wherever you need to go. It stands as a definitive driver’s machine - a bridge between peak adrenaline and the open road, offering our Indian customers a level of exclusivity and precision that only a 'CS' badge can deliver.”

The new BMW M2 CS is available at an ex-showroom price of INR 1,66,00,000.

*Price prevailing at the time of invoicing will be applicable. Ex-showroom prices inclusive of GST (incl. compensation cess) as applicable but excludes Road Tax, Tax Collected at Source (TCS), GST on Tax collected at source, RTO statutory taxes/fees, other local tax cess levies and insurance. Price and options are subject to change without prior notice. For further information, please contact the local authorised BMW Dealer.

The new BMW M2 CS is available in four paintworks – Brooklyn Grey, Portimao Blue and Black Sapphire. BMW Individual metallic paint finish ‘Individual Velvet Blue’ is also available. Full leather Merino upholstery is available as standard in Black/exclusive highlight.

The new BMW M2 CS.

The new BMW M2 CS is based on the second generation of the BMW M2 and significantly improves what is already an extraordinary level of performance. With impressive 390 kW/530 hp in the BMW M2 CS, it matches the performance of the BMW M4 Competition Coupé sending its power to the rear wheels via the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, which comes as standard.

The new BMW M2 CS set a new benchmark on the legendary Nordschleife racetrack of the Nürburgring on 11 April 2025. Driven by Jörg Weidinger, it completed the 20.823-kilometre Nürburgring-Nordschleife circuit in 7:25.5 minutes, beating the previous best time for compact cars by a full eight seconds. This record-setting BMW M2 CS not only raises the bar in the compact car class, but also further solidifies BMW M's reputation as a manufacturer of high-performance vehicles that excel both on the road and on the racetrack.

The punchy exterior of the new BMW M2 CS is shaped by many components made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) and other exclusive details. The standard M Carbon roof, boot lid, mirror caps and the CS-specific rear diffusor are all made from eye-catching exposed carbon fibre. The M2 CS kidney grille is made with extended air inlets and a unique geometric design. The CS-specific integrated “Ducktail” spoiler is aerodynamically designed for optimal weight distribution and stability and is an absolute head-turner. The “M2 CS” logo on the rear has a red outline. The Adaptive LED Headlights with BMW Selective Beam non-dazzling High Beam Assistant and M lights Shadowline with dark inlays are also standard. Standard equipment also includes CS-exclusive forged M light-alloy wheels with a double-spoke design and matt Gold Bronze finish. They measure 19 inches at the front and 20 inches at the rear axle and are fitted as standard with track tyres. An ultra-track tyre and a standard sport tyre (a no-cost option) in the same dimensions are available as an optional upgrade. The M Compound braking system with red brake callipers, which comes as standard, provides powerful stopping performance while the M Carbon ceramic brake system with red brake callipers is available as an option for extensive track usage. The M-specific exhaust system with electrically controlled flaps and the four exhaust pipes typical of M, which come in matt black enhance the look on the rear of the BMW M2 CS.

The chassis technology and braking system in the BMW M2 CS are precisely tailored to the improved performance characteristics of the engine and the specific weight balance of the special edition. The chassis has been lowered by eight millimetres and adapted specially for the car with bespoke tuning for its springs, dampers and chassis control systems. These modifications improve driving dynamics significantly in all scenarios – including under extremely hard driving. Indeed, the settings for the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and M Dynamic Mode have been optimised precisely to meet the demands of driving on the race track.

The interior of the new BMW M2 CS combines an exclusive look with the sporty feel of exquisite Alcantara and innovative lightweight design. Lightweight M Carbon Bucket Seats cacoon driver and passengers, while Merino leather and illuminated CS-specific lettering create a sophisticated look. With a soft cover and contoured thumb rests, the M Alcantara steering wheel has carbon details and M-contrasting stitching for a motorsport feel. A carbon centre console reduces weight and stuns the senses. A high-gloss sheen and red CS lettering are standout features. Additional specific details include the M seatbelts and the entry door sill plates, which are black with an “M2 CS” logo and red outline for the first time. Now illuminated with the “CS” logo, the door trim panels certainly grab the attention. The colour used here can be set individually, likewise the standard ambient lighting. Harman Kardon surround sound system provides an intense musical feast for the ears.

For the BMW M2 CS, BMW M GmbH has opted for an upgraded version of the 3.0-litre, six-cylinder in-line engine which also serves as basis for the power unit used in BMW M4 GT3 EVO racing car. This intensifies the performance experience in the special edition, particularly in highly dynamic driving situations. It further sharpens the engine’s unmistakable power characteristics and perfectly accentuates the linear power delivery – sustained into the higher reaches of the rev range – familiar from M models. The engine generates maximum output of 530hp and peak torque of 650 Nm with 0-100 kmph acceleration in just 3.8 seconds. The top speed of the special edition – which comes as standard with the M Driver’s Package – is 302 km/h.

The engine also has an array of details borrowed directly from racing car design, including its lightning-fast response, appetite for revs and high-performance capability in track use. These details include an extremely rigid crankcase with a sleeve-free, closed deck construction, a forged crankshaft with lightweight design, cylinder bores with a wire-arc sprayed iron coating and a 3D-printed core for the cylinder head.

The eight speed M Steptronic transmission enables extraordinary short shift times and fast, precise responses to every nudge of the accelerator. The driver can access three clearly distinct setups in both automatic and manual mode – comfort oriented, sports focused, or track optimized.  The M-specific Setup button on the centre console provides direct access to the settings options for the engine, standard adaptive M suspension, M Servotronic steering, integrated braking system working in conjunction with the M Compound brakes, and the M Traction Control function, which allows drivers to set individual intervention thresholds for wheel slip limitation. M Drive Professional makes an ideal companion for journeys fuelled by extra adrenaline. The M mode TRACK and the ten-stage M Traction Control allow customised handling characteristics. The M Drift Analyser shows the angle and duration of drifts executed by the driver, while the M Laptimer is ideal for those striving for the perfect lap.

BMW Operating System 8.5 in the new BMW M2 CS offers a wider range of digital content for information and entertainment, faster update cycles for functions, improved information on charging points for electric vehicles and optimized access to many specific online services. The display and control system expanded to include the BMW Head-Up Display in conjunction with the BMW Live Cockpit Professional. The advanced display and operating system offers a redesigned entry screen and "QuickSelect” access with an improved menu structure oriented towards consumer electronics devices. A host of BMW ConnectedDrive technologies continue to break the innovation barrier in automotive industry – Telephony with wireless charging, Head Up Display, Smartphone Integration, Active Protection including attentiveness assistant with Park Distance Control with sensors at the front and rear and Parking Assistant. Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function and BMW Driving Assistant can be added as optional equipment.

For utmost safety, the new BMW M2 CS comes with head and side airbags for driver and front passenger as well as head airbags for rear seats as standard. Additional standard equipment includes Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) including Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Automatic Stability Control (ASC), M Dynamic Mode (MDM), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), Dry Braking function and Active M Differential.

The new BMW M2 CS delivers maximum driving pleasure coupled with an outstanding performance and fuel consumption ratio thanks to BMW EfficientDynamics measures such as intelligent lightweight design,  Auto Start-Stop function, electric power steering, differential and transfer case with optimised warm-up behaviour and aerodynamics. Adaptive M suspension as standard offers a great spread between riding comfort and sportiness.

#BMW #BMWIndia #SheerDrivingPleasure

With its unmistakable four-cylinder roar, the new M R is built for riders who relentlessly push their limits. This machine brings the uncompromising standards on M performance to the road, ensuring every ride is an authentic experience of power and precision.”

Ex-showroom price (inclusive of GST and compensation cess) as applicable but excludes Road Tax, RTO statutory taxes/fees, other local tax/cess levies and insurance. Prices and options are subject to change without prior notice. For further information, please contact your local authorized BMW Motorrad Dealer.

The new BMW M 1000 R is available in exclusive paint finishes, Light White non-metallic / M Motorsport and White Aluminum metallic matt. With the M Competition package, this paint is also available alongside the color scheme Blackstorm metallic/M Motorsport.

The new BMW M 1000 R.

The dynamic design language of the new BMW M 1000 R signals pure performance and sportiness. The proportions are ultra-compact, slim, slender and extremely aggressive. The new dual-flow LED headlight derived from the RR models and the M logo in the air intake between the headlights give this motorcycle an aggressive look. The roadster looks outstanding from the front with its M Winglets. The M Winglets produce significantly more aerodynamic downforce - both when riding upright and when leaning in corners. The refined black winglets generate aerodynamic downforce, and at 220 km/h, they increase the front-wheel load by 11 kg. The M Carbon wheels with M Competition Package stand out thanks to the clear lacquer coat that brings out the high-quality, deep black shimmering carbon fibre structure even more intensively. The brake ducts are integrated into the front mudguards, which have been optimised for improved airflow around the fork legs and brake callipers. In all color schemes, the rear frame and swingarm of the new model year are in Platinum Grey metallic. The M Quick action throttle reduces the angle of rotation needed to achieve full throttle, allowing for faster acceleration and less wrist strain.

The M Competition Package offers a fascinating mix of refined components for the racing technology gourmet and the aesthetic rider alike. The optional M Competition package is available in combination with the Blackstorm metallic/M Motorsport or White Aluminium metallic matt colour schemes, the M Competition package includes M Carbon wheels, M GPS-Laptrigger, M Carbon parts such as rear wheel cover and chain guard, front wheel cover, tank covers, airbox cover with tapes, wind deflector, sprocket cover, the M pillion package as well as the M pillion cover and a milled, fully adjustable M rider footrest system.

The new BMW M 1000 R is powered by the water-cooled inline 4-cylinder engine with a capacity of 999 cc, designed for maximum riding pleasure. It generates a peak output of 210 hp (154 kW) at 13,750 rpm and the maximum torque of 113 Nm is reached at 11,100 rpm. The new M R sprints from 0-100 Km in 3.2 seconds and can achieve maximum speed of 280 km/h.

The BMW ShiftCam technology offers increase in torque and pulling power in low and medium speed range with simultaneous gain in peak power. Other indispensable components are titanium valves, new spring assembly on the exhaust side, narrower and lighter cam followers and optimised camshafts. The intake system features shorter intake funnels for optimised charge exchange at high engine speeds.

The new BMW M 1000 R is equipped with an instrument cluster with large, perfectly readable 6.5-inch TFT display, start-up animation with M logo, new display of the rev counter and OBD interface for M GPS Datalogger and M GPS Laptrigger. Lightweight M battery, rear USB charging socket, powerful LED light units, adaptive turning light, electronic cruise control and heated grips are also available.

Riding modes "Rain", "Road", "Dynamic", "Race" and "Race Pro1-3" as well as the latest generation of Dynamic Traction Control DTC and DTC wheelie function with 6-axis sensor box provide the new BMW M 1000 R an ideal adaptation to varied conditions of use. These enable individual adaptation of the most diverse control functions such as Engine (throttle), Engine Brake, Traction Control, Wheelie-Control, ABS and ABS Pro to suit the rider’s own skill level and riding style. Another feature that comes with the ‘Pro Modes’ is Launch Control and pit-lane limiter for perfect race starts and precise speed in the pit lane. The traction control DTC has also been revised. The control strategy has been derived from the RR models and, in combination with the M short-stroke throttle, brings a noticeable improvement, especially in Race mode for track days.

The tapes in M design on the rims emphasise this high-grade, high-tech look as well as the racing claim of M R. The functions of the brake and taillights are integrated into the side indicator lights.

A comprehensive range of optional equipment and original BMW Motorcycle accessories is available for further individualisation of the new BMW M 1000 R.

Munich. Consistency and resilience: The BMW Group maintained its course in 2025, despite substantial headwinds. Thanks to its attractive model line-up across all drive technologies, its growing and globally balanced business model and disciplined cost management, the BMW Group once again achieved Group earnings before tax of over € 10 billion. Despite significant additional tariff headwinds, the company reported a stable Group EBT margin of 7.7%
(2024: 7.7%). As in the previous year, Group net profit totalled more than € 7 billion, laying the foundation for a proposed dividend payment in line with the 2024 figure.

“Strategic vision, strong operating performance and high reliability have always been hallmarks of the BMW Group. We set our course for the company’s future success early on, relying on three strong pillars: our technology-neutral approach, our extensive global footprint and our inspiring brands and products,” said Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG. “Over the past years, we have adopted the right strategic positioning. We are benefiting from that today: In a challenging environment, we do not need to change direction but can maintain our course and continue implementing our strategy systematically.”

Technology-neutral approach as key success factor in global competition

The diversity of its product range remains a key success factor for the BMW Group: With a broad drive train portfolio spanning internal combustion engines, plug-in hybrids, battery-electric drive trains and, from 2028, hydrogen fuel cells, the company is laying the foundation to meet globally diverse requirements and customer needs, both today and in the future.

At the same time, this approach is also key to effective CO₂ reduction: In 2025, the company slightly overfulfilled the ambitious targets of the European Union (EU 27+2), with fleet emissions of 90 grams per kilometre – without relying on instruments such as pooling or temporal staggering. This underlines once again how a technology-neutral approach and climate protection go hand in hand at the BMW Group.

Battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) remain growth driver for BMW Group

In financial year 2025, the BMW Group increased its BEV sales worldwide to 442,056 units (+3.6%), representing 17.9% of its total sales. This means that one in six BMW Group vehicles sold was fully electric. At MINI, the percentage was even higher, with one in three vehicles already fully electric.

Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) also remain an essential component of the technology-neutral approach and the electrification of the model range: In total, the BMW Group delivered 642,071 electrified vehicles, including plug-in hybrids (PHEVs and BEVs) in 2025, meaning that one in four vehicles was electrified. In Europe, the proportion was even higher, where 40 percent of BMW Group vehicles were either fully electric or plug-in hybrids.

2026 electrification milestone: Two million BEVs delivered to customers

In 2025, the BMW Group reached two major electrification milestones since the debut of the BMW i3 and BMW i8 in 2013: In June, the 1.5-millionth fully-electric vehicle was handed over to its new owner. This was followed in August by the three-millionth electrified vehicle. The next milestone will come this year, with the two-millionth fully-electric vehicle.

“With our wide range of electrified vehicles, we have secured ourselves a strong competitive position. We remain true to our role as pioneers and continue to expand our BEV line-up: By the end of this year, we will offer our customers 20 fully-electric cars,” said Zipse.

Strong brands and attractive product line-up with diverse drive train portfolio

With 2,463,681 premium vehicles delivered to customers in financial year 2025, BMW Group sales reached the same high level as in 2024 (2024: 2,450,854 units; +0.5%). Thanks to its globally balanced footprint, the company was able to offset its decline in sales in China (-12.5%) with gains in other regions, reporting solid growth in Europe (+7.3%) and the Americas (+5.6%).

The main growth drivers included the BMW 5 Series, with sales up by more than a quarter, and the compact BMW X2, which rose by 33%. For the 14th consecutive year, BMW M GmbH deliveries reached a new all-time sales high of 213,449 units (2024: 206,587 units; +3.3%), with the BMW M2 Coupé* and the M3* family as the best-selling models. For the first time, one in ten BMWs delivered was a BMW M model. On the fully-electric side, the BMW i5*, BMW iX2* and BMW iX1* models all saw significant growth.

In 2025, the top-selling model in the rapidly growing MINI family, with a total of 288,278 deliveries (2024: 244,925 units; +17.7%), was the MINI Countryman*. The MINI Aceman*, the new MINI Convertible* and the fully-electric MINI Cooper* models led the MINI brand to significant growth. With more than 105,000 BEVs delivered to customers, fully-electric vehicles accounted for over 36% of sales.

The Rolls-Royce luxury brand matched the level of the previous year, with 5,664 deliveries (2024: 5,712 units; -0.8%). The Rolls-Royce Cullinan and fully-electric Spectre models were the most in demand.

BMW Group meets 2025 targets

As projected, the BMW Group achieved its business objectives for 2025. Thanks to its attractive line-up, the BMW Group reported revenues of € 133,453 million for the full year (2024: € 142,380 million; -6.3%; adjusted for currency translation
effects: -3.9%). This reflects the intense competition in the automotive sector, particularly in China. Furthermore, negative currency translation effects, primarily from the US dollar, Korean won and Chinese renminbi, also had an impact.

Lower R&D spending and capital expenditure as planned

As previously announced, the BMW Group’s investments in the future have declined from their peak: Research and development spending totalled € 8,319 million in 2025 – a moderate decrease from the previous year (2024: €9,078 million; -8.4%). Expenditure for research and development is largely focused on digitalisation and electrification of the vehicle fleet across all model series. It also includes spending for the development of NEUE KLASSE models, such as the BMW iX3* and the successor models to the BMW X5 and BMW 7 Series. The R&D ratio for the full year decreased to 6.2% (2024: 6.4%). As planned, capital expenditure for the full year also declined significantly to € 7,237 million (2024: € 9,056 million; -20.1%), with a capex ratio of 5.4%.

The BMW Group was also able to reduce sales and administrative expenses in line with forecasts, lowering costs by 6.1% to € 10,606 million (2024: € 11,296 million).

“Our disciplined active cost management strengthened our performance in 2025: Compared with the previous year, as promised, we were able to streamline our cost structures in line with planning, by reducing R&D expenditure, sales and administrative expenses as well as manufacturing and material costs. A total reduction in expenses of € 2.5 billion has benefited our profitability. We will continue systematically lowering costs this year, in line with our planning," said Walter Mertl, member of the Board of Management responsible for Finance.

Group EBT margin in line with previous year

In 2025, despite significant tariff headwinds, the BMW Group once again achieved Group earnings before tax (EBT) of more than € 10 billion (€ 10,236 million; 2024: € 10,971 million; -6.7%). The Group EBT margin of 7.7% (2024: 7.7%) was on a par with the previous year. Group net profit once again exceeded € 7 billion, at € 7,451 million (2024: € 7,678 million; -3.0%).

Automotive EBIT margin within target range of 5 to 7%

Automotive Segment earnings before financial result (EBIT) totalled € 6,259 million (2024: € 7,893 million; -20.7%). The EBIT margin of 5.3% (2024: 6.3%) was within the target range of 5 to 7%, as forecast in March 2025. Excluding depreciation and amortisation for BBA assets from the purchase price allocation, the EBIT margin was 6.4%. As forecast, the additional impact of tariffs in 2025 lowered the margin by approx. 1.5 percentage points. 

The Automotive Segment’s free cash flow for the full year totalled € 3,240 million (2024: € 4,852 million). Cash inflows from operating activities decreased year-on-year, partially offsetting the lower investment activity. Due to the reduction in inventories, working capital also had a positive effect on the segment’s cash inflows. The segment’s free cash flow is projected to exceed € 4.5 billion in 2026.

The Financial Services Segment reported a slight increase in the number of new credit financing and leasing contracts in 2025. This was primarily driven by positive business development in Europe and an improvement in the Chinese competitive environment in the second half of the year, after local banks substantially reduced their commission rates for brokering of financial and insurance products to retail customers.

As a consequence, the segment’s volume of new business also increased slightly, despite negative currency translation effects, reaching € 65,818 million for the full year (2024: € 64,519 million/+2.0%). The penetration rate, the percentage of new BMW Group vehicles leased or financed by the Financial Services Segment, climbed to 46.6% duringthe reporting year (2024: 42.6%/+4.0 percentage points).

Segment profit before tax (PBT) for the full year 2025 amounted to
€ 2,401 million (2024: € 2,538 million/-5.4%). The decrease was primarily due to lower income from the sale of lease returns and a tax arrears payment required as a result of a revised operational tax assessment relating to previous years.

Dividend payout and payout ratio in line with previous year

The BMW Group ensures that its shareholders consistently benefit from the company’s success. Its sustainable dividend policy offers shareholders a reliable return on investment.

“In 2025, the BMW Group achieved a stable EBT margin of 7.7%, with pre-tax earnings once again exceeding € 10 billion. Thanks to a stable year-on-year profit attributable to shareholders of BMW AG, we are proposing a total dividend payment of € 2,672 billion, comparable to the previous year, with a stable payout ratio of 36.6%,” said Mertl.

The payout ratio is thus at the high end of the target range of 30-40% of net profit attributable to the shareholders of BMW AG.

The Annual General Meeting in May 2025 authorised the Board of Management to buy back up to 10% of BMW AG’s share capital over the next five years. Based on this new authorisation, the Board of Management approved a third share repurchase programme with a volume of up to € 2 billion,to be completed no later than 30 April 2027. By December 2025, the first tranche of shares, with a value of € 750 million, had been repurchased.

As of 31 December 2025, BMW AG held 8,682,146 shares, with a nominal value of
€ 8,682,146. This is equivalent to 1.41% of the share capital as of 31 December 2025.

At this year’s Annual General Meeting on 13 May 2026, the Board of Management and Supervisory Board will propose a dividend of € 4. 40 per share of common stock (2024: € 4.30) and € 4.42 per share of preferred stock (2024: € 4.32). Furthermore, at a separate meeting of preferred shareholders held on same day, the Board of Management and Supervisory Board will propose the 1:1 conversion of all shares of preferred stock into common stock with voting rights, without any additional payment obligation.

NEUE KLASSE ramp-up begins in 2026

During the current financial year, the ramp-up of the NEUE KLASSE will gain speed, starting out with two models at the heart of the BMW brand: Since its world premiere at the International Motor Show (IAA) in September 2025, the fully-electric BMW iX3 has seen extremely strong demand – among pre-ordered fully-electric BMW vehicles in Europe, one in three orders is for a BMW iX3. Due to the high demand, the plant in Debrecen, Hungary, is already operating in two shifts. The second NEUE KLASSE model – the fully-electric BMW i3– will celebrate its design premiere next week in Munich.

“With the successful launch of the NEUE KLASSE, we demonstrated in 2025 that we are leading the BMW brand into the future, with new technology clusters and a fresh design language. The extraordinarily high demand for the first model, the BMW iX3, proves that pioneering spirit, innovation and courage deliver results,” said Zipse. “We will maintain the high pace of our innovation rollout as we introduce the technologies of the NEUE KLASSE across our entire portfolio: Between now and 2027, we will present more than 40 new or updated models. These will also include the BMW 3 Series and BMW X5: two all-new models in two of our key segments, offered with all drive train variants. In this way, we are ushering in a new era of technology neutrality at the BMW Group.”

Forecast for financial year 2026

The BMW Group anticipates the following developments during financial year 2026: Given the current economic outlook for 2026, the global automotive markets are expected to develop in a stable manner. The company anticipates growth potential overall for Europe and the USA. Based on the average sales volume of recent months, sales in China are expected to remain approximately at the previous year's level.
Globally, the company forecasts that deliveries will be on a par with the previous year and that fully-electric vehicles will account for the same share of sales as last year.

For financial year 2026, the BMW Group assumes that headwinds from higher tariffs will further impact the EBIT margin in the Automotive Segment by about 1.25 percentage points. Mitigation measures have already been considered.

Regarding forecast values: In addition to the aforementioned tariff-related burdens, the EBIT of the Automotive Segment will be impacted year‑on‑year by higher negative effects from currencies and raw materials, by rising depreciation and a significantly lower capitalization rate, as well as by overall lower revenues resulting from the declining used‑car market. In China, the price and product measures adopted to stabilize transaction prices will have a negative year‑on‑year effect, particularly in the first half of the year.
The planned cost reductions in capital expenditure, material and manufacturing costs, in research and development activities, as well as in selling and administrative expenses will partially offset these burdens.

The EBIT margin for the Automotive Segment is therefore forecast to be within the range of 4 to 6%. RoCE should be between 6 to 10%.

In the Financial Services Segment, RoE is projected to be between 13 to 16%. A further decline in the used car markets and lower income from the resale of end-of-lease vehicles compared to 2025 are anticipated.

In the Motorcycles Segment, deliveries are forecast to be on a par with the previous year, with an EBIT margin within the range of 4.0 to 6.0% and a RoCE of 10 to 14%.

In light of the forecast developments, a moderate decline in Group earnings before tax is expected for 2026.

The BMW Group’s actual business performance may deviate from these expectations – for example, due to changes in political and macroeconomic conditions.

Proposal for the election of a Supervisory Board member

The Supervisory Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting that Dr Christian Bruch, Chief Executive Officer of Siemens Energy AG, be newly elected to the Supervisory Board for a term of four years.

GLOSSARY – explanatory comments on key performance indicators

Deliveries to customers

A new or used vehicle is recorded as a delivery once it is handed over to the end user (which also includes leaseholders under lease contracts with BMW Financial Services). In the US and Canada, end users also include (1) dealers when they designate a vehicle as a service loaner or demonstrator vehicle and (2) dealers and other third parties when they purchase a company vehicle at auction and dealers when they purchase company vehicles directly from the BMW Group. Deliveries may be made by BMW AG, one of its international subsidiaries, a BMW Group retail outlet, or independent third-party dealers. The vast majority of deliveries – and hence the reporting of deliveries to the BMW Group – is made by independent third-party dealers. Retail vehicle deliveries during a given reporting period do not correlate directly to the revenues that the BMW Group recognises in respect of that particular reporting period.

Payout ratio

The payout ratio is preliminary. Although the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board will propose a fixed dividend per share at the Annual General Meeting, the number of shares entitled to a dividend is expected to fall by the Annual General Meeting due to the ongoing share buy-back programme. Accordingly, the total amount to be distributed to shareholders is also still expected to change by 13 May.

EBIT

Profit before financial result. Profit before financial result comprises revenues less cost of sales, less selling and administrative expenses and plus/minus net other operating income and expenses.

EBIT margin

Profit/loss before financial result as a percentage of revenues.

EBT

EBIT plus financial result.

PHEV

Plug-in-hybrid electric vehicle - hybrid vehicle with petrol engine and electric drive.

Gurugram: BMW India Foundation is advancing its commitment to inclusive and sustainable development by supporting and upskilling traditional artisans across India. Guided by the vision to preserve the authenticity of indigenous art forms while connecting artists to contemporary resources and markets, the Foundation’s initiatives aim to enable sustainable livelihoods and enhance upward social mobility for artisan communities.

Launched in 2025, the artisan empowerment programme addresses long-standing challenges faced by traditional artists, including limited access to structured skilling, contemporary design exposure, and organised market platforms. Through partnerships with experienced implementation organisations, BMW India Foundation is creating pathways that allow artisans to strengthen their craft, respond to evolving consumer demand, and build resilient income streams.

Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, President & CEO, BMW Group India said, “At BMW India Foundation, we deeply respect the incredible craftsmanship and rich traditions of India’s artisans. For us, this is not just about preserving beautiful art forms, it’s about supporting the talented people who bring them to life. Many of these artisans face real challenges, from limited access to new skills to difficulty reaching bigger marketplaces. We want to help change that by giving them the tools, training, scope for experimentation and opportunities they need to grow and sustain their livelihoods. Programs like Project Chitravan and Project Phulkari are very close to our hearts. They allow artisans to stay connected to their roots while exploring new ideas and designs that appeal to modern customers.”

In central India, BMW India Foundation has partnered with the Craft and Community Development Foundation (CCDF) to implement Project Chitravan, supporting tribal artisans from Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, and Maharashtra practising indigenous art forms such as Gond, Warli, Bhil, Baiga, Sohrai, and Kohvar. Artists are selected based on craftsmanship, creative potential, and economic need, and are provided structured mentorship and contemporary design inputs to help them evolve creatively while retaining the authenticity of traditional narratives and techniques. Around 40 tribal artisans across central India are currently being nurtured under this initiative.

In Punjab, BMW India Foundation has joined hands with the Delhi Crafts Council to strengthen and modernise the traditional craft of Phulkari embroidery. The initiative focuses on skill enhancement, revival of authentic techniques, and adoption of sustainable practices such as natural dyes and responsible material usage. Artisans collaborate with textile designers to co-create contemporary product lines, including stoles, apparel accents, home décor items, and accessories, improving product relevance and market access. Training in digital literacy and market readiness further enables artisans to engage with buyers and participate confidently in emerging market platforms. Around 30 artisans in Punjab are currently being supported under this initiative.

BMW India Foundation

BMW India Foundation has been set up with the objective of implementing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes on behalf of BMW Group entities in India – BMW Group India, BMW India Financial Services and BMW India Leasing. The Foundation carries forward existing community initiatives and works to scale them up through long-term commitment and deep partnerships with implementation organisations, creating sustainable and measurable social impact.

The all-new BMW X3 30 xDrive M Sport Pro

The design language of the all-new BMW X3 30 xDrive M Sport Pro gives the car a monolithic overall appearance. The exterior design is characterised by expansive surfaces and precise contours. It’s dimensions – Length: 4,755 mm and Wheelbase: 2,865 mm – make it the longest car in its segment. With a width of 1,920 mm and a height of 1,660 mm, the all-new X3 is also the widest and tallest car in its segment. The front end exudes great presence courtesy of its upright stature and, most notably, the large Fully Black BMW kidney grille with Iconic Glow Illumination. The best-in-class Adaptive LED Headlights with High beam assistant and cornering lights result in peak performance and safety in low-visibility conditions. The adaptive LED lights are based on a projector lamp setup, offering much better performance than the traditionally used reflector lights. The headlights are complimented by the M Lights Shadowline line which adds a sporty black tint making for an imposing front fascia.  The M Aerodynamic package with larger air intakes in the front apron guarantee an elegantly sporty appearance. Completing the exterior’s dynamic look are the standard 20-inch M alloy wheels, along with larger M Sport brakes in red with improved braking performance that create a powerful visual statement even at a standstill.

The car’s sporty silhouette features an elongated bonnet and a long wheelbase as well as a rising window graphic and a signature Hofmeister kink. The roof rails and the integrated roof spoiler in high gloss black underscore the vehicles’ athletic and adventurous character. The large wheel arches have a subtly squared-off outline in typical BMW X model style. The all-new BMW X3 30 also comes with flush-fitting door handles. The familiar BMW X proportions acquire a sporting flavour thanks to the long roofline extending deep into the rear end. The darkened split rear lights have a double L-shape lend a more assertive and modern presence to the vehicle. The Rear Diffuser in High Gloss Black enhances the bold appearance when seen from behind.

An expressive design and high-quality materials characterise the interior of the all-new BMW X3 30 xDrive M Sport Pro. The highly minimalist design lends the interior a particularly clean and modern look. The progressive and sophisticated ambience inside goes hand in hand with generous amounts of space and modern versatility for everyday use, leisure activities and trips away. The interpretation of the familiar BMW X cockpit design is shaped by the driver-oriented BMW Curved Display and the striking geometry of surfaces and innovative design features. The fully digital screen grouping is composed of a 12.3-inch information display and a 14.9-inch control display. The new instrument panel, elegantly wrapped in Sensatec, brings a refined, high-quality finish to the cabin of the all-new BMW X3 30, enhancing the interior’s premium ambiance. Other design features include the standard BMW Interaction Bar integrated below the control display with control panels for the airflow and for switching on hazard warning lights, as well as the light elements in a contrasting colour that can be found in the centre console and in the front section of the door trim in both the front and rear. These form the basis for a dramatic lighting effect that further accentuates the three-dimensional character of the cockpit design. The lighting concept is further refined by the integral Jewelry box located ahead of the gear selector, which uses ambient accents to spotlight stored items and reinforce the cabin's premium feel. The all-new X3 30 also comes with a fully customizable head-up display as standard.

The M Steering Wheel comes with flatbottomed rims as well as control buttons providing haptic feedback. Standard shift paddles are available for manual interventions in the eight-speed Steptronic transmission’s gear selection process. The best-in-class Sports Seats come with active seat ventilation for front passengers. They also offer lumbar adjustment and backrest width adjustment for the driver, a feature unique to BMW X3. The Sport Seats are lapped in Vegan Leather ‘Veganza’ made with sustainable materials. The largest-in-segment Panoramic Glass Sunroof gives an exceptionally elegant appearance and creates a light and airy feel inside the cabin. Travel & Comfort System, offered as standard, enables users to connect their devices to the car for a seamless entertainment experience. Rear windows also get roller sunblinds for extra privacy and protection from direct sunlight. The best-in-class Harman Kardon surround sound system with 15 speakers and 750 watts of audio power provides an intense musical feast for the ears.

Thanks to unrivalled BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, the X3 30 xDrive’s engine melds maximum power with exemplary efficiency and offer spontaneous responsiveness even at low engine speeds. The 2-litre 4-cylinder in-line petrol engine produces an output of 258 hp and maximum torque of 400 Nm at 1,600 – 4,600 rpm. The car accelerates from 0 -100 km / hr in just 6.3 seconds. Customers also get the sport boost function for exceptionally rapid bursts of speed as well as the sport plus mode for most dynamic handling characteristics. The all-new X3 30 xDrive comes with a 48V technology as standard which significantly improves performance as well as efficiency. The 48V technology results in remarkably instantaneous response to the slightest movement of the accelerator – when pulling away and also when putting in a sudden burst of speed – as well as more comfortable operation of the Automatic Start / Stop function.

Adaptive Suspension with electronically controlled dampers is also offered as standard. It automatically adjusts damper response to the prevailing driving situation and current driving style, with a choice of two settings depending on the My Mode selected. This means Sport Mode activates optimal damper responses for dynamic handling, creating a noticeable contrast to the more comfort-oriented damper setting in the other My Modes. Adaptive Suspension combines excellent handling with supreme driving safety and allows the vehicle to be effortlessly controlled up to the limit. This has the effect of maximising not just the comfort and agility of the vehicle, but also its handling precision.

The all-new BMW X3 comes with the latest version of BMW iDrive with QuickSelect to provide intuitive, easy control. Its home screen shows vertically arranged function icons on the same level. The QuickSelect feature allows functions to be activated directly without having to enter a submenu. The new BMW iDrive is geared squarely to touch and voice control. It is based on the latest BMW Operating System 9, which also paves the way for a customisable selection of additional digital services. The all-new BMW X3 offers the best and latest of BMW ConnectedDrive services with BMW Digital Premium.

  MyBMW App functions include popular options for keeping an eye on the current vehicle status at all times. The innovative BMW Digital Key Plus services turn any smartphone into a car key and can be transferred up to 18 additional users, along with their personal vehicle settings. One can remotely lock / unlock and configure top speed, engine power, audio and more. Wireless Apple CarPlay® / Android Auto for smartphone opens up access to a range of functions and apps. In addition, customers can use the MyBMW app to generate BMW Digital Key Plus, which turns a smartphone into a digital vehicle key. It will enable customers to physically open the doors when unlocking them this way.

The spread of BMW Connected Drive and Driver Assistance Systems that support comfort and safety are more extensive than ever. The all-new BMW X3 now comes with Driving Assistant Plus as standard which includes some best-in-class features like Active Cruise Control (with Stop&Go Function), Lane Departure Warning, Lane keep assistant and much more. Parking Assistant Plus offers the highest degree of technology and accessibility to smart parking systems in the segment with features such as fully automated parking with surround view camera and segment first features such as BMW Reversing Assistant and BMW Drive Recorder.

  BMW EfficientDynamics includes features such as 8-speed Steptronic Automatic Transmission, Auto Start-Stop, ECO PRO mode, Brake-Energy Regeneration, Electronic Power Steering, 50:50 Weight Distribution and many other innovative technologies.

  BMW xDrive, the intelligent all-wheel drive technology, monitors the driving situation and is quick to respond to ensure maximum traction, agility and vehicle stability. Electronically controlled ‘Automatic Differential Brakes/Locks’ (ADB-X), extended ‘Dynamic Traction Control’ (DTC), Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control help to conquer every terrain.

#BMW #BMWIndia #SheerDrivingPleasure

Gurugram. BMW Motorrad announces the schedule of its most awaited rider training program- GS Experience 2026 in India. The GS Experience presents an unparalleled opportunity for riders to discover the extraordinary prowess of BMW Motorrad's iconic GS series, perfectly suited to its natural terrain. This exclusive, two-day event offers Level 1 and Level 2 training modules tailored specifically for owners of BMW’s GS adventure motorcycles, blending expert instruction with real-world riding conditions to deepen riders’ mastery and confidence.

BMW Motorrad will host this two-day immersive training for GS owners across 9 cities – Chandigarh, New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Pune, Hyderabad, Kochi and Chennai.

Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, President, BMW Group India, said, “The GS is not just a motorcycle, it’s a beacon of adventure. BMW Motorrad is redefining the spirit of adventure biking in India, and the GS Experience is our commitment to empowering riders to push boundaries safely and confidently. This program is more than just training; it is an invitation to join a community of passionate riders ready to explore new horizons. With guidance from our world-class BMW Motorrad IIA trainers, participants will refine their skills, harness the advanced technology of GS motorcycles, and embrace the true Spirit of GS.”

For the first time, the GS Experience Level 1 and Level 2 modules offer simultaneous training on separate tracks for 20 Smart CC (310 GS) riders and 20 Core (650 CC and above) GS riders. The Level 1 training assists riders to understand and master basics of off-road riding. The module includes basic familiarity of the motorcycle, understanding of correct rider position, enduro steering and other exercises such as off-road riding, emergency stops on slope, emergency braking and riding on inclines. Riders automatically qualify for level 2 training upon successful completion of level 1.

The GS Experience Level 2 Training Program is designed to enhance off-road riding skills for advanced riders, focusing on challenging terrains and scenarios. A key element is mastering the correct riding position, crucial for maintaining balance and control, especially when maneuvering through varied surfaces like sand, gravel, and slush. Riders will be introduced to Enduro Pro mode, which optimizes the motorcycle's dynamics for off-road conditions by adjusting ABS, traction control, and power delivery, ideal for managing emergency braking and navigating tricky landscapes. Enduro steering techniques, such as Figure of 8 exercises, help improve tight cornering and control in confined spaces. Participants will also practice riding off-camber, tackling uneven slopes with precision, as well as managing uphill and downhill riding on long, steep terrains. Riding in sand and gravel requires a balance of throttle control and body positioning, which is refined during these sessions. Techniques for quick U-turns and motorcycle recovery on slopes ensure riders are prepared for unexpected situations in real-world off-road environments, boosting their confidence and skill level.

The GS Experience showcases the dynamic qualities of each GS model in real-world conditions and techniques to enjoy the Spirit of GS while ensuring highest safety. Each session includes a briefing and demonstration by BMW Motorrad IIA (BMW Motorrad International Instructor Academy) certified trainers, that will take riders through the impressive array of technologies available on the GS range of motorcycles. The sessions offer riding experience on a combination of bitumen and off-road under expert supervision.

For registration and further details please contact the nearest BMW Motorrad Dealership.

The BMW Concept Speedtop, showcased this year, symbolizes our commitment to pushing boundaries, where design, technology, and craftsmanship converge to inspire new horizons. Together with India Art Fair, we are proud to nurture a dynamic ecosystem where art and innovation fuel transformation, not just for the automotive world, but for society at large.”

‘The Future is Born of Art’ Commission: A Bold New Chapter
Marking ten years of creative partnership with India Art Fair and five years of the landmark ‘The Future is Born of Art’ Commission, BMW Group India continues to champion emerging Indian artists on the global stage. The 2026 Commission, themed ‘Crafting in Continuum’, is awarded to Afrah Shafiq for her immersive installation ‘A Giant Sampler’, displayed prominently across the fair’s façade for the first time.

Shafiq’s work reimagines progress as continuity, a harmonious coexistence of handcraft traditions, digital systems, and human touch. Drawing on embroidery motifs and textile practices linked to women’s histories, the installation integrates an interactive Augmented Reality (AR) experience, inviting visitors to engage with layered narratives of memory, movement, and transformation. The BMW wheel, rendered in cross-stitch, emerges as a contemporary emblem of precision, motion, and cyclical change, connecting the brand’s heritage with artistic innovation.

As winners of the prestigious ‘Future is Born of Art’ Commission, led by BMW and India Art Fair, Afrah Shafiq joins the ranks of India’s most promising artistic voices. Previous winners, Non-Linear (Dennis Peter) and Cursorama (Yash Chandak) 2025, Sashikanth Thavudoz (2024), Devika Sundar (2023) and Faiza Hasan (2022), have set the stage with visionary works exploring community, materiality and ecology.

#BMW #BMWIndia #SheerDrivingPleasure

Gurugram: With shared vision of building a future-ready generation, BMW Group and UNICEF today highlighted the annual impact of their global BRIDGE partnership in India. Since its launch in December 2024, the initiative has reached around 110,216 children and 397 educators in India across multiple states by strengthening foundational learning and expanding access to hands-on STEM education.

The BRIDGE initiative is part of a long-term global collaboration between BMW Group and UNICEF till 2030, aimed at equipping children with future-ready skills through supporting state governments on STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). In India, the programme adopts a two-pronged approach to education reform - strengthening foundational literacy and numeracy in early grades, and expanding access to practical, experiential STEM learning for adolescents.

Implemented in close collaboration with state governments, the initiative is currently active across Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam and Tamil Nadu. The programme creates inclusive STEM learning environments through strengthening teacher capacity and experiential learning using low-cost maker spaces, STEM kits, and new science labs in under-served schools.

Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO, BMW Group India, said, “The BMW Group’s global partnership with UNICEF underscores our commitment to education as a catalyst for lasting social and economic progress. In India, we are proud of the strides made in strengthening foundational learning and creating opportunities for children, especially girls, to explore STEM. We remain dedicated to supporting scalable, high-impact initiatives that empower the next generation for a brighter future. Through the long-term programme spread over several years, we will ensure that this progress goes a long way towards creating real, on-ground impact.”

Ms. Cynthia McCaffrey, UNICEF India Representative said, “Today’s employment opportunities come with greater demands for competencies in STEM. Girls, in particular, miss out on opportunities to learn and practice STEM. For this very reason, the BMW-UNICEF partnership is investing in making education more accessible and inclusive, especially for girls, leading to greater economic and social self-reliance.”

During the first year of implementation, the partnership delivered measurable outcomes on ground. A total of 397 educators across 142 schools were trained in evidence-based practices to improve early-grade literacy and numeracy, while large-scale digital webinars reached 17,830 teachers, strengthening classroom instruction and foundational pedagogy at scale. A situational analysis helped develop a state-level action plan to strengthen supervisory systems. The engagement of parents and caregivers was successfully strengthened through regular meetings, fostering closer home home–school collaboration.

West Bengal

In West Bengal, a STEM Instructional Manual with 90 experiential activities was developed, including the use of household items to explain fractions and 10 maker spaces were set up. A digital supervision app now tracks classroom practices such as inclusion, use of learning materials, creating a safe and engaging environment, and encouraging active participation. Supervisors use the app’s data to give feedback and plan improvements with teachers. Since October 2024, over 8,000 school visits have been logged. In addition, large-scale events, like the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, engaged nearly 59,000 students, promoting gender equity.

Assam

Hands-on STEM content was successfully piloted in 30 schools, reaching over 7,000 students in Assam. Classroom observations and teacher surveys were carried out to inform the redesign of difficult topics. Interactive learning packages were piloted, including experiments using local materials to explain concepts like motion and fractions.

Jharkhand

Evidence points out that children learn best when taught in their most familiar language. To help children do so, the development of bilingual textbooks for Grades 1 and 2 in Assam and Jharkhand was supported. These books align with the state curriculum and reflect local contexts, enabling a smooth transition from home language to the language used at school. Jharkhand also received support to equip 11 STEM labs in girls’ residential schools (KGBVs) and distribute STEM kits in 82 KGBVs. STEM kits give students the chance to learn through practical experiments. With simple tools like soldering irons, batteries, and other basic components, these kits make science and technology more accessible and engaging. They help strengthen problem problem-solving skills and spark curiosity, turning abstract concepts into real-world applications. Moreover, 130 activity activity-based modules were developed for hard hard-to-learn topics such as algebra and molecular structures, using clay modelling, bead-and-wire models, and local art forms for geometry.

Tamil Nadu

The ‘STEM on Wheels’ programme brought mobile demonstrations of science and math experiments to schools in rural and coastal areas, enabling hands-on learning.

Globally, the BMW Group–UNICEF partnership aims to reach more than 10 million children and young people every year through education and training initiatives, including STEM learning, across five countries where BMW Group has a strong operational presence - India, South Africa, Brazil, Mexico, and Thailand.

Gurugram. BMW India announced the launch of its latest advertisement campaign, ‘DRIVE YOUR MATCH’, a strategic evolution of its communication approach that elevates the idea of choice into one of discovery, recognition, and self-expression. The new campaign focuses on how customers connect with the brand, positioning every BMW not as a mass-market option, but as a precise match to an individual’s personality, aspirations, and lifestyle.

Mr. Vitesh Barar, Director, Marketing, BMW India, said, “BMW has always stood for progressive luxury, driving pleasure and individuality. With DRIVE YOUR MATCH, we elevate the conversation from owning a car to recognising a reflection of who you are. This campaign celebrates the deep, personal connection our customers share with the brand, while showcasing the versatility of our portfolio in a way that remains distinctly premium. In India, where aspirations are deeply personal and evolving, ‘DRIVE YOUR MATCH’ reinforces BMW as the perfect partner in every individual journey.”

Building on the brand route ‘For Every You, there’s a BMW’, the new advertisement campaign sharpens the narrative by moving from literal accessibility to meaningful alignment. DRIVE YOUR MATCH reframes versatility as premium precision, where finding the right BMW is not about selection, but recognition. At the heart of the campaign is a powerful insight: customers don’t choose a BMW, they recognise the one that reflects who they are. Through the lens of matchmaking, BMW becomes a natural extension of identity, where every interaction with the brand is a joyful moment waiting to be discovered. The campaign leads with exclusivity and self-actualisation, while seamlessly showcasing the breadth of BMW’s products, services, and experiences.

The campaign serves as a unifying communication platform that brings together BMW’s complete portfolio in India, with a confident, call-to-action driven tone. It reinforces the brand’s premium aspiration while celebrating individuality, ensuring consistency across touchpoints and campaigns through mid-2026.

With DRIVE YOUR MATCH, BMW India continues to strengthen its brand aspiration, transforming versatility into a statement of precision, and every BMW into a moment of recognition waiting to be driven.

Munich. The new BMW iX3 is in the spotlight at CES 2026. For the first time, the enhanced, AI-powered BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant with Alexa+ technology will be presented to the public. As the debut model for the Neue Klasse, the BMW iX3 showcases groundbreaking innovations that will shape the entire model range of the brand in the future. By 2027, the technologies of the Neue Klasse will be integrated into a total of 40 new models and model updates from BMW.

BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant expanded with Amazon Alexa+.
One year after the world premiere of the new BMW Panoramic iDrive with BMW Operating System X at CES 2025, visitors to this year’s CES can experience the revolutionary user-interaction concept firsthand in the BMW iX3. With a balanced combination of digital functions and physical elements, it elevates intuitive operation according to BMW’s guiding principle ‘Hands on the Wheel, Eyes on the Road’ to a new level of driver orientation. Built on the technological foundation of a software-defined vehicle, the customer experience in the BMW iX3 continues to evolve. For the first time, BMW presents the next generation AI-powered BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. BMW is the first manufacturer to expand its voice assistant with the AI assistant Amazon Alexa+. This enables intuitive and intelligent interaction between passengers and the vehicle in a natural dialogue. The interaction includes the operation of vehicle functions as well as access to information and knowledge beyond the vehicle. For the first time, passengers can ask multiple questions in a single sentence—covering both your vehicle’s features and e.g. general knowledge topics.

The integration of Amazon Alexa+ into the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant represents a technological leap forward that focuses on added value for the customer. The AI technology used in the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant is a Large Language Model (LLM), a generative AI that understands language and is capable of formulating its own responses. Starting in the second half of 2026 at the latest, this further development will be gradually rolled out in Germany and the USA across all BMW models equipped with BMW Operating System 9 and X.

BMW iX3 transforms waiting time into entertainment: stream a movie, play a video game or make a video call.^[1]
The BMW booth at CES also focuses on the wide range of entertainment options in BMW Operating System X. It offers an extensive selection of apps, videos, and games. In addition to the popular streaming service Disney+, customers in the BMW iX3 have access to the Video App (powered by TiVo™). This app enables video streaming on the central display when the vehicle is stationary, with a continuously growing selection of content such as news, live, and on-demand streaming. The portfolio of the video streaming platform will continue to evolve.

The BMW ConnectedDrive Store will also soon include the YouTube Music app for the first time, joining the more than 85 apps worldwide in categories such as Music & Audio, Entertainment, Gaming, News, Travel & Local. YouTube Music gives customers access to an extensive catalog with over 300 million tracks, including the official studio recordings, remixes, live performances, and hard-to-find covers. Zoom now allows video calls on the iX3’s central display for the first time when the vehicle is stationary. As soon as the vehicle starts moving, the video transmission stops, and the conversation seamlessly continues via audio.

In-car gaming via AirConsole, as introduced for the first time with the BMW Operating System 8.5, is also available in the new BMW iX3, featuring world-renowned titles like UNO^®️ Car Party!
A new highlight in AirConsole’s extensive game library is Hot Wheels: Xtreme Overdrive™️ from Mattel, available exclusively to BMW customers. AirConsole allows users to use their own smartphones as controllers, so all passengers can play together or compete against each other. Additional games and apps for in-car entertainment can be accessed through the BMW ConnectedDrive Store. Selected games in the BMW iX3 can also be controlled using Bluetooth controllers from conventional gaming consoles.

Sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology: higher efficiency, more range, faster charging.
The sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology developed for the Neue Klasse comprises highly efficient electric motors, fundamentally new high-voltage batteries with cylindrical cells, and 800V technology. The BMW iX3 50 xDrive is powered by two electric motors, which together generate output of 345 kW/469 hp and 645 Nm (475 lb-ft) of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph). Its electric all-wheel-drive configuration consists of an extensively upgraded electrically excited synchronous motor (EESM) with particularly high levels of efficiency at the rear axle and, at the front axle, a new asynchronous motor (ASM) distinguished by its compact design and high cost efficiency. The combination of EESM and ASM is evidence of the BMW Group’s commitment to technological neutrality within electric mobility as well. The drive technology developed for the Neue Klasse reduces energy losses by 40 per cent compared to fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology, weight by 10 per cent and manufacturing costs by 20 per cent.

The new high-voltage battery concept with cylindrical cells for the Neue Klasse also achieves significant advances. The energy density on a cell level is 20 per cent higher than with fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology, and the new concept also paves the way for a 30 per cent increase in charging speed. The cylindrical cells are integrated directly into the high-voltage battery (“cell to pack”), which benefits energy density and cost efficiency. Added to which, the high-voltage battery is integrated into the vehicle architecture as a structural component to minimise weight (“pack to open body”). The high-voltage battery in the BMW iX3 50 xDrive has a usable energy content of 108.7 kWh, enabling a range of up to 805 kilometres (500 miles) in the WLTP cycle.

BMW Charging: short charging times, premiere for bidirectional charging.
The advances brought by sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology have a significant influence on the charging experience, too. A maximum charging rate of 400 kW enables users to fill their new BMW iX3 with enough energy at an 800V direct current (DC) rapid charging station to add up to 372 kilometres (231 miles) ^[2] of range in just ten minutes. The high-voltage battery can charge from 10 to 80 per cent capacity in 21 minutes. Thanks to the battery management tech with integrated switching matrix developed completely in-house by the BMW Group, the new BMW iX3 can also be charged from 400V DC stations. Upgrades to the battery preparation also help to shorten charging times. The new BMW iX3 50 xDrive can top up on alternating current (AC) at 11 kW as standard or 22 kW ^[3] as an option.

Extensive bidirectional charging functions ^[3] are also available for the new BMW iX3, meaning that it can be used as an energy supply source for a variety of applications. The Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function turns the new BMW iX3 into a mobile powerbank, which can supply electric devices with power while on the move. Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) hands it the role of storage unit for solar energy generated by home-fitted photovoltaic systems. And customers can also hook their car up to the energy market via the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) application and earn some money in the process.

The selection of standard-fitted and optional charging accessories has been significantly expanded. For flexible charging during a journey, customers can make use of the new Multifunction Charger, which comes with several adapters for charging and discharging the high-voltage battery. The new BMW Wallbox Professional (DC) enables bidirectional charging at home or work. And BMW Charging offers the option of cost-optimised /solar-power-optimised home charging.

In order to give owners the best possible charging experience, the new BMW iX3 will be fitted as standard with an NACS (North American Charging Standard) compatible charging port. This will provide iX3 owners access to the vast Supercharger network, while a standard CCS (Combined Charging System) adapter will preserve access to other providers from coast to coast, thus ensuring that iX3 owners are never far from a provider no matter where the journey is taking them.

Heart of Joy: The Ultimate Driving Machine reaches a new level.
One of four superbrains in the electronics architecture of the Neue Klasse, the Heart of Joy looks after drivetrain and driving dynamics management. This high-performance control unit is responsible for the drivetrain, brakes, energy recuperation, and steering functions, and processes information up to ten times faster than conventional control units. In this way, the potential of electric mobility in terms of instantaneous power delivery, smooth power transfer, agility, stability, and efficiency is fully realized.

Together with the BMW Dynamic Performance Control software stack developed fully in-house, the Heart of Joy calculates all the driving dynamics parameters with a new level of speed and precision. The driver and passengers in the new BMW iX3 experience a uniquely harmonious and BMW-typical driving sensation whatever the situation. Every movement of the accelerator, brake pedal, and steering is executed directly and with assurance and precision. Supreme traction and – thanks to the unique Soft Stop function – the smoothest stopping process ever achieved by a BMW are among its other attributes. In addition, the efficiency of the new BMW iX3 is optimized by the integrated management of drivetrain, braking system, and energy recuperation. In everyday driving, 98% of braking maneuvers are carried out using recuperation only, without application of the friction brakes. The only occasions these are called upon are under emergency braking and during extremely sporty driving.

“Superbrain of automated driving” for the driver assistance systems with of the next technology generation.
Another high-performance computer brings together all the automated driving and parking functions in the BMW iX3. With 20 times greater processing power than in the previous vehicle generation, the watercooled “superbrain of automated driving” enables a significant technological advance with the Neue Klasse in this area as well.

BMW Symbiotic Drive provides seamless support.
The BMW iX3 uses its Symbiotic Drive capability combined with driver assistance to create a completely new driving experience. Whenever the driver wants to accelerate, brake or steer, their inputs merge seamlessly and intuitively with AI-enabled software.The result is a whole new form of Sheer Driving Pleasure. For example, the automatic cruise control system is not deactivated with only a light press of the brake pedal; instead, it is only switched off when the driver brakes harder. In the same way, the lane control assistance remains active even after light steering inputs by the driver.

With the optional BMW Highway / Motorway Assistant ^[4], drivers can take their hands off the steering wheel permanently at speeds of up to 85 mph / 130 km/h, while remaining attentive and ready to intervene. The system assists with vehicle guidance within the lane and can also perform automated lane changes when needed – a simple glance confirmation by the driver is sufficient. With active BMW Maps route guidance, the system proactively suggests lane changes at highway interchanges and exits, which can be confirmed with a quick glance in the wing mirror. The Highway Assistant remains active while passing through interchanges and until the end of highway exits. This allows BMW iX3 drivers to enjoy Level 2 driver assistance without touching the steering wheel in even more situations.

The new Highway and City Assistant ^[4] also offers innovative functions for urban environments, such as stopping and automatically restarting at traffic lights. Additional driver assistance features for complex urban driving situations will be rolled out later via over-the-air software updates.

Gurugram. In a pioneering effort to make golf more inclusive and accessible, BMW India Foundation has joined hands with The Golf Foundation to launch ‘Golf for Everyone’ - a nationwide initiative aimed at identifying and nurturing golfing talent among underprivileged children.

Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO, BMW Group India said, “Golf has traditionally been perceived as a sport limited to the privileged few due to accessibility and resource constraints. The ‘Golf for Everyone’ program seeks to change this narrative by creating opportunities for talented young athletes regardless of their socio-economic background. By bringing golf to the doorsteps of underprivileged children, we hope to foster a truly community-driven sporting culture that celebrates diversity and equal opportunity. BMW India Foundation’s vision is to nurture projects that transcend socio-economic boundaries and becomes truly inclusive. We strongly believe projects like ‘Golf for Everyone’ hold that tremendous transformational power.”

As part of this endeavor, BMW India Foundation and The Golf Foundation are conducting India’s largest annual golf talent hunt for 2025-26. Through this extensive grassroots golf discovery program, the search for talent will begin with in-school talent identification camps across government and low-income schools. To participate in the talent hunt, children can also WhatsApp “I am Talent” on +91 93106 92833.

Using portable hitting mats, nets, and putting kits, children undergo simple athletic evaluations such as throws, sprints, jumps, and coordination drills. This initial screening helps identify young athletes who show potential in physical agility and coordination.

Children shortlisted from these camps will progress to regional on-range golf camps, hosted at golf facilities across multiple Indian states. Here, participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of golf and assessed for basic skills, creating a bridge between raw talent and formal training. Over 1,800 - 2,000 children are expected to be screened through these multi-stage processes, culminating in a National Talent Hunt that will select approximately 30 promising young golfers to receive advanced support.

The selected children will benefit from a comprehensive support framework that includes regular professional coaching, access to high-quality equipment, tournament exposure, mentorship, and financial assistance. This holistic development program aims to empower these young athletes to pursue golf professionally while also supporting their overall personal growth.

The ‘Golf for Everyone’ initiative not only aims to identify future champions but also strives to instill values of discipline, perseverance, and sportsmanship among the youth. By democratizing access to golf, the program hopes to inspire a new generation of achievers who will carry forward the legacy of Indian sports on national and global platforms.

Kochi. Since its very first edition in 2012, BMW has been official partner of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale (KMB). For the sixth Kochi-Muziris Biennale, the Kochi Biennale Foundation is curated by Nikhil Chopra with HH Art Spaces featuring 66 artists projects from more than 25 countries. The biennale opened to public on 12 December 2025 and will last for a period of four months.

Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, President & CEO, BMW Group India said, “The BMW Group India is proud to continue its partnership of the sixth edition of Kochi-Muziris Biennale, a platform that celebrates creativity, dialogue and new perspectives. Art has the power to inspire progressive thinking, and this partnership reflects our belief in innovation that moves both people and culture forward. The Biennale’s spirit of openness and exploration mirrors, BMWs philosophy of redefining possibility, and we are delighted to be a part of a movement that enriches India’s cultural landscape.”

The exhibition, the largest contemporary art biennale in South Asia and the first of its kind in India, unfolds across 29 venues in Fort Kochi, Mattancherry, Willingdon Islands and Ernakulam. It sits in conversation with a constellation of exhibitions, performances, and discursive programmes which are set in close dialogue with Kochi’s unique geographical, social and cultural ecology.

Embracing process as methodology, this edition places ‘freindship economies’ as the very scaffolding of the exhibition. The curatorial vision acknowledges bodies as a landscape of time, a vessel of labour, joy, and loss, and invites the visitors to think through ‘embodied histories of those that came before us and continue to live within us in the form of cells, stories and techniques.

BMW Group India Cultural Engagement
Since its inception, BMW India has participated in leading cultural engagements across the country. In 2007, two BMW Art Cars created by world renowned artists Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein were presented at the Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai. BMW Art Cars by Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Sandro Chia and Cesar Manrique have been exclusively showcased at various editions of the India Art Fair. “The Future is Born of Art” is a unique initiative by BMW India and India Art Fair which aims to propel emerging Indian artists and further BMW Group’s commitment to promote art, sustainability, and innovation. In 2012-13, the innovative BMW Guggenheim Lab came to India. Based at Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum and conducted at six different sites in Mumbai, the lab organised six weeks of free programme with diverse audience and communities addressing the challenges and conditions of the urban city.

Since 2012, BMW has partnered with the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, the contemporary art exhibition, which brings international artists to India and creates a global platform for Indian artists. This vital and dynamic partnership has been instrumental in shaping the Biennale into a global cultural landmark. BMW Group’s continued commitment, even in uncertain times, highlights the profound belief in the power of art and culture to unite and inspire.

About the Kochi-Muziris Biennale

Kochi-Muziris Biennale is India’s first ever biennial of international contemporary art and its story is unique to India’s current reality—its political, social and artistic landscape. It began as a government initiative, when the Department of Cultural Affairs of Government of Kerala approached two artists—Riyas Komu and Bose Krishnamachari—to help organize an international platform for art in India. The challenge was proportionate to the ambition of the project. A biennial had never gotten past the conceptual stage in India before. There was no existing infrastructure necessary for an exhibition of this scale—no spaces and no institutional support structures.

With the support of the government, private patrons, and local businesses the Biennale found the spaces and opened them up for art. The Indian art community has been growing rapidly and has been emerging onto the world stage, and the international arts community offered their support in sending art and artists to participate in Kochi. Artists became the spokespersons and activists for the biennale.

  About Nikhil Chopra

Nikhil Chopra’s artistic practice interweaves live art, drawing, photography, sculpture and installations. His performances, in large part improvised, dwell on identity and its construction, autobiography and authorship, the pose and

self-portraiture. Nikhil combines everyday life, memory and collective history; daily acts such as eating, resting, washing and dressing, in tandem with the act and discipline of making large scale drawings in situ become the process of making an artwork.

Nikhil’s works have been included in major exhibitions including Documenta 14, 12th Sharjah Biennale, 12th Havana Biennale; 2nd Kochi-Muziris Biennale and 53rd Venice Biennale amongst others. He has also shown works and performed at the Gropius Bau, Berlin; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester; New Art Exchange, Nottingham; , SFMOMA, San Francisco; Artsonje, Seoul; Museum of Contemporary Art, Yinchuan, China; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Astrup Fearnley Museum, Oslo, Norway; Indian Highway, Serpentine Gallery, London, UK; Carriageworks, Sydney; Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, New Delhi.

Nikhil Chopra was born in Kolkata in 1974, and lives in Goa where he runs HH Art Spaces with partners. After studying at the Faculty of Fine Arts at Maharaja Sayajirao University of Vadodara, India, the artist continued his studies in the United States in 2003 to return to India in 2005 with a Masters from Ohio State University.

About HH Art Spaces

HH Art Spaces, Goa, was founded in 2014 by Nikhil Chopra and Romain Loustau, both live art and performance artists. HH Art Spaces is a movement, and currently includes the shared vision, voices, rigors, and energies of a collective of artists and cultural practitioners. Key founding and partner members of the organization are: Madhavi Gore, Shivani Gupta, and Shaira Sequeira Shetty.HH Art Spaces fosters an ethos of collaborations, residencies and interdisciplinary exchanges within art and culture; and has worked with artists and organizations locally, regionally and internationally.

Over the years, HH Art Spaces has developed a rich archive of visual, sonic, installation, and live art and performance work, in South Asia. HH Art Spaces promotes artists and produces exhibitions and artist residencies, talks and workshops, in contemporary and traditional artistic practice-based research, bridging transdisciplinary practices through collaborations and partnerships. HH is a hub and a laboratory for artists and curators to investigate and explore new forms and approaches within arts and cultural practice.

The agile single-cylinder engine, Ride by Wire, the anti-hopping clutch and the various riding modes are designed for sheer riding pleasure.

The ex-showroom prices* starts from

BMW G 310 RR Limited Edition     -         INR 299,000

*Prices prevailing at the time of invoicing will be applicable. Delivery will be made ex-showroom. Ex-showroom price (inclusive of GST and compensation cess) as applicable but excludes Road Tax, RTO statutory taxes/fees, other local tax / cess levies and insurance. Prices and options are subject to change without prior notice. For further information, please contact your local authorized BMW Motorrad Dealer.

The BMW G 310 RR Limited Edition is available in the following color options – Cosmic Black and Polar White

BMW India Financial Services offers flexible and hassle-free financing solutions for BMW Motorrad that can be tailor made to put you in control. There’s more, it also offers rider gear and accessories financing, to ensure that you’re fully equipped for all your riding experiences. For complete peace of mind, all BMW Motorrad vehicles come with a standard warranty for ‘three years, unlimited kilometres’, with an option to extend the warranty to fourth and fifth year. Additionally, Road-Side Assistance, a 24x7 365 days package ensures prompt services in case of breakdown and towing situations.

BMW G 310 RR Limited Edition
The BMW G 310 RR Limited Edition’s aerodynamic design makes an extremely sporty appearance with its road racing DNA. The decals for the entire body kit including wheel rims add a touch of dynamism and performance to the bikes’ already impressive aesthetics. The ‘1/310’ badging signals the highly exclusive nature of this limited edition. The aerodynamic design is optimized by the full fairing, intelligent dimensions as well as lighter materials that work together to offer agile and precise handling. The Champion’s Dome emphasizes the brand’s racing pedigree and performance capabilities.

Thanks to the Ram Air intake, the oncoming air flow is ideally used, and the gill vents ensure that the hot air is channeled away from the engine. The bike has an aggressive and sharp face with full-led headlights, large transparent visor and pure-black handlebars. The entire fly line is front-wheel oriented. The dynamic front, tank-hugging seating position and a pulled-up short rear visually underline closeness to the racetrack. New high-end details such as the standard gold upside-down fork, aluminum swingarm, handlebars with controls and excellent workmanship reflect the finest within the segment and underscore the stable wheel control with sensitive and precise feedback. The standard Michelin Pilot Street radial tyres fit perfectly with the character by providing ample grip and control.

The first-ever BMW G 310 RR is fitted with a water-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke 312-cc engine with electronic fuel injection. The engine achieves a maximum power of 25kW at 9,700 rpm as well as maximum torque of 27.3 NM at 7,700 rpm.

The 6-speed gearbox allows ease of engagement of gear and no slippage at higher speeds for precise shifts and launches. The race tuned anti-hopping clutch with self-reinforcement reduces engine braking and significantly increases riding safety - especially during braking manoeuvres with simultaneous downshifts. It also offers reduced operating force at clutch lever.

For ideal adaptation to varied conditions, the 310 RR is fitted with four modes as standard - Track, Urban, Rain and Sport. The Track mode is focused from acceleration to braking where the ABS is adjusted for late braking into bends.  Urban mode has balanced acceleration and braking behaviour as the ABS and throttle response are geared towards urban traffic. Sport mode delivers best possible acceleration and maximum deceleration values – with sporty dynamics. Rain mode is paired with Ride by Wire and the ABS reacts highly sensitively to guarantee riding safety and stability control on wet roads.

Ride by Wire system along with E-Gas passes on the commands directly from a sensor on the twist grip to the engine control system resulting in even finer control and throttle response. Thanks to the electromotive throttle controller, automatic idle speed increase when starting also prevents a possible sudden stalling of the engine.

The suspension has a torsionally stiff, highly robust tubular steel frame in grid structure with bolt-on rear frame. The front wheel suspension is taken care of by a solid upside-down fork while at the rear there is an aluminium swinging arm in conjunction with a directly mounted spring strut. The suspension geometry is designed for easy handling, stability and a neutral cornering response, which makes for an active riding character and maximum riding fun.

The new multifunctional 5” TFT display boasts of a very good level of functionality that is synonymous with high-speed riding. Its intuitive framework, high-resolution and clear graphics provide all required information to the rider in an easy-to-understand format. It shows essentials like riding statistics, riding modes, maximum speed, deceleration, temperature etc.

The Infotainment Control Switch offers perfect operability of functions to change the desired modes or views. Depending on the riding mode, the TFT display also customizes the screen with relevant information.

The high-performance brake system with 2-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) ensures efficient deceleration and short braking distances. BMW Motorrad ABS prevents the wheels from locking and rear wheel lift-off protection keeps the race bike's wheels on the track, even when braking late into corners.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Here it is. The first of a new era. The future of the car.

I’ve been with the BMW Group for more than 34 years now. During this time, I’ve witnessed many world premieres, exciting new concepts and bold technological innovations. But, for me – and for all of us at the BMW Group – today’s premiere is truly a “once-in-a-lifetime moment”. When else do you get to re-imagine a brand like BMW from the ground up? The chance to create an entirely new generation of vehicles? The chance to break completely new ground?

This year’s ##IAA MOBILITY## brings us full circle. You’ll remember that,

right here in Munich, back in 2021, I promised we would lead BMW into a new era. With the NEUE KLASSE.

Today, just four years later, we deliver on that promise. Here's the proof. The NEUE KLASSE is much more than just one new car. It represents a completely new model generation. A massive leap that will shape the entire brand for years to come.

Why now? Why such a bold step? Because we know the time is right.

Ground-breaking innovations don’t come out of nowhere.
They start with individual technological advances.

With people who recognize the untapped potential. With a visionary team that transforms those individual parts into something totally new – something far greater than the sum of its parts.

That’s where we were at the start of the decade. We saw the chance

for a massive leap in development across all relevant technologies –

from battery technology to digital user experience to computing power. A unique opportunity to completely rethink the car. It was a time for pioneers. In other words: the perfect BMW moment.

We have poured our vast experience, our wealth of technical know-how and – above all – our heart and soul into developing the
NEUE KLASSE. It wasn’t easy. But, together, we made it happen.

This is what the ##BMW iX3## represents.

We have taken the world with us on our “road to NEUE KLASSE”. Five vision vehicles. Highlighting five key aspects of the
NEUE KLASSE.

At the beginning, we demonstrated how sustainability and circular economy could be realized in a premium product. BMW i Vision Dee blurred the lines between reality and the virtual world – and offered a first glimpse of our new BMW Panoramic iDrive. At the IAA Mobility in 2023, things got much more concrete. A typically sporty BMW sedan with the new design language of the NEUE KLASSE. This was soon followed by a look at the future of the Sports Activity Vehicles. As you can see: We were already close to the real thing at that point. Sheer Driving Pleasure – taken to a whole new level. The VDX demonstrated this. An impressive proof of the potential unlocked by integrating different technologies in the NEUE KLASSE. BMW driving dynamics at its finest.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Our goal with the NEUE KLASSE was to create the best overall system for our customers. That’s why the iX3 and the upcoming vehicles of the NEUE KLASSE integrate everything we’ve showcased in recent years. When it comes to design, we have even skipped an entire generation. And there's no one better to explain how our customers will experience this with all their senses than Adrian van Hooydonk.

Speech Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMW Group Design

Thank you, Oliver. Welcome ladies and gentlemen!

Yes, the big moment has finally come. We are launching the
BMW iX3, the very first car of the NEUE KLASSE. As Oliver mentioned, we have been working on this for the past 4 years and with the NEUE KLASSE we are taking very big steps in technology. These bigger steps in technology can only become meaningful hand in hand with big steps in design.

The BMW iX3 has a much bigger range helped by a very clean shape with excellent aerodynamics. In the interior you will find a new display concept that allowed us to clean-up the dashboards and completely redefine the driving experience.

But let‘s look at the exterior design first:

We have typical solid BMW SAV proportions with a lot of presence and emphasis on all four wheels. The surfaces are very clean with only a few precise lines. The front-end shows a new interpretation of the BMW typical face in which we replace chrome with light. Vertically oriented kidneys match the more upright overall appearance of our SAV.

This new light signature is part of the daytime running light and it will make the new iX3 very recognizable by day and by night. Overall, the car has a very solid stance and strong shoulders and, in the rear, again a new light signature that emphasizes the width of the car.

In the interior you will find that the driving experience is and will remain our focus, putting the driver at ease and in control! The key element to this is our all-new BMW Panoramic Vision which projects in the bottom of the windscreen and builds upon our years of experience with head up displays. This new display is visible for all passengers on board and will allow you to quickly check the information you want and need while keeping your hands on the wheel and your focus on the road ahead. Together with our new free cut central display and iconic steering wheel these elements are the corner stones of our new Panoramic iDrive system, a whole new driving experience that you will find in all our future BMW models from now on!

This new user experience already starts when you approach the car and continues as you get in and set the car up to your personal preferences. With My Modes you can do that very easily and select a perfectly curated driving experience – from screen content or colors to light and sound and even driving characteristics.

So, our new Operating System X focuses on the best driving experience but will also allow you a much higher level of personalization making your new BMW truly yours. Overall, the new digital aspects of our cars will make them more intelligent and easier to use. At the same time, this has allowed us to design much cleaner and warmer interiors, creating very personal living environments

on four wheels. The interior trim “Digital White” is spacious and modern.

But what about other options?

We curated various interior trims with a lot of attention to detail,

giving each trim a unique & distinctive character. These trims can be combined with a wide variety of exterior colors giving our customers plenty of choice in a few easy steps.

So, starting with the BMW iX3 we are introducing a new form language that will lead to a new look and feel for the entire
BMW brand. Our designs will be very clean and at the same time
very strong in character, but above all: more BMW then ever!

Thank you very much!

Speech Oliver Zipse,
Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG

Thank you, Adrian. From driving dynamics to drivetrain, from battery technology to the operating concept and digital user experience: Every one of these elements has been significantly enhanced for the NEUE KLASSE.

Looking at the performance data for the BMW iX3 gives you an idea

of what our customers can look forward to. The iX3 is all-electric. With more range and faster charging: that was our promise – and we have delivered. The iX3 offers a range of more than 800 kilometers in the WLTP cycle. Range anxiety? We’re making sure it’s a thing of the past. Also thanks to its ultra-fast charging capability: The peak charging power is up to 400 kilowatts. In other words: In just 10 minutes, the iX3 charges enough to drive more than 370 kilometers.

At BMW, we are known for our driver orientation. Hands on the wheel, eyes on the road, with the right data just where you need it.

With BMW Panoramic iDrive, the windscreen itself even becomes

a projection surface – merging reality and the virtual world in perfect interplay. Here, we're once again setting a new standard – and not just in the iX3. We’re rolling out BMW Panoramic iDrive across our entire product range.

The iX3 also strikes perfect harmony between hardware and software. Four central computers deliver the necessary computing power, processing data up to 20 times faster than conventional systems: genuine super-brains. BMW drivers will appreciate one of these systems in particular – the Heart of Joy, which combines all functionalities for the drivetrain and driving dynamics: Over 100 years of expertise in driving dynamics, now enhanced by digital capabilities. You’ll feel the difference right away. Whether you’re pushing the limits or driving in everyday situations. This is
Sheer Driving Pleasure taken to a whole new level.

The experience also includes state-of-the-art automated assistance systems, tailored to our customers’ needs: dependable at all times, without compromising safety. Driver and vehicle become one.

We call this BMW Symbiotic Drive.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We know that without responsibility, there can be no real progress. That is why decarbonization and resource conservation are key 

in the development of the iX3 and the NEUE KLASSE. Throughout the entire life cycle. We also apply principles of design for circularity.

The vehicle standing here next to me is made up of one third secondary raw materials. We are focusing on becoming more efficient and consuming less energy and resources. Whether in the

supply chain, in production or on the road.

The iX3 is a perfect example of our strategy of reducing CO₂ wherever we have leverage. We are on a transparent and reliable path towards climate neutrality, in line with the Paris agreement - using all drivetrain technologies.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Greater electric range. Faster charging. A more immersive digital experience. The next level of Sheer Driving Pleasure. A greater focus

on sustainability. And all of this in an incredibly attractive package. The BMW iX3 is truly more BMW than ever. And this is just the beginning!

We are rolling out the design, innovation and the latest technologies across all our vehicles. All our models will benefit from the advances made in the NEUE KLASSE – regardless of the drivetrain.

We have made a conscious decision to start out in the high-volume segments – because the NEUE KLASSE was never designed

for a niche. We want all our customers to benefit from the innovations as quickly as possible.

The next vehicle is already waiting in the wings. The details are still hidden beneath the camouflage, but I’m sure you’ll recognize the classic proportions of a sporty sedan.

The new BMW i3. 

It will be released next year as the Series’ first all-electric version. And it will be the first model variant of the new 3 Series generation.

For the past 50 years and over seven model generations, no other vehicle has been as closely tied to the success of the BMW brand. The 3 Series embodies everything at the very core of BMW. Innovation. Digital user experience. Comfort. Sportiness. Together, these characteristics create an incomparable driving experience. Sheer driving pleasure at its finest.

After the launch of the i3, more variants will follow.

The iX3 and the i3 – a powerful symbol of the broad spectrum the NEUE KLASSE will cover. Production of the BMW iX3 will begin later this year at our new plant in Debrecen.

From 2026, every new BMW will be all-new. We will launch

40 different new and updated models. By 2027.That is the future.
A new era. That is BMW.

Ladies and gentlemen,

It takes an exceptional team to bring projects like the NEUE KLASSE and vehicles like this one to life. A team with the unconditional desire, willpower and ability to shape the future. We, the Board of Management, stand before you today representing our nearly 160,000 BMW Group employees worldwide.

On behalf of us all, I want to thank our incredible team for their dedication and commitment over the last few years to reach this milestone moment.

Together, we are leading BMW into a new era.

Thank you very much.

  The new BMW X5.

The smoothly assured character exuded by the BMW X5 in every situation is emphasised by particularly robust design features. The front features the matrix Adaptive LED headlights with blue accents and BMW Selective Beam. The L shaped rear lights are reflected horizontally, creating a visually powerful, consistently illuminated and unmistakable X motif within the rear lights. Standard equipment comprises of 21-inch light-alloy wheels that add hugely to the car’s road presence. The air breathers in the front side panels have a modern and eye-catching design.

Also, part of the standard equipment roster, alongside the 4-zone automatic climate control system is the Harman Kardon Surround Sound System and Comfort Access System. Travel & Comfort System along with the Panoramic sunroof enhance the overall rear seat experience of the occupants.

Thanks to unrivalled BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, the petrol and diesel engines meld maximum power with exemplary efficiency and offer spontaneous responsiveness even at low engine speeds. The 3-litre 6-cylinder in-line petrol engine of the BMW X5 xDrive40i produces an output of 381 hp and maximum torque of 520 Nm at 1,850 – 5,000 rpm. The car accelerates from 0 -100 km / hr in just 5.4 seconds.

Additionally, both engines feature a 48V Electrical Motor that with a power output of 12 hp and torque output of 200 Nm, help achieve even better efficiency and dynamics.

The eight-speed Steptronic transmission performs smooth, almost imperceptible gearshifts. At any time, in any gear, the transmission collaborates perfectly with the engine, enabling it to deliver its full power and efficiency. The driver can access distinct driving setups in both automatic and manual mode – COMFORT, EFFICIENT, SPORT.

BMW xDrive, the intelligent all-wheel drive technology monitors the driving situation and is quick to respond to ensure maximum traction, agility and vehicle stability. The standard Adaptive 2-Axle Air Suspension offers the most dynamic and comfortable ride.

An absolute novelty for the BMW X5 is the newly introduced the xOffroad package.  An offroad rocker switch on the center console gives the driver the choice to select any of the four off-road driving modes (xSand, xRocks, xGravel, xSnow), accordingly the vehicle’s offroad capability is optimized. It automatically determines the ideal vehicle height settings, xDrive system, acceleration response and transmission control, and corrective inputs of the DSC system when you need to drive on sand, rocks, gravel or snow. The vehicle also gets reinforced underbody protection with the Offroad package, which further adds to the robustness of BMW X5. The M Sport Differential ensures that even with challenging changes of direction or on various surfaces, the engine power is optimally brought to the road. A specially optimized display for offroad driving in the Central Information Display informs the driver about the various parameters like the vehicle ground clearance and the roll tendency, the inclination or the downhill gradient of the offroad section. Furthermore, the xOffroad camera view supports the driver in narrow offroad sections, providing a perfect all-round view of the vehicle.

BMW ConnectedDrive technology breaks the innovation barrier and turns the car into an interconnected digital device. Host of connected drive features include BMW ID, MyBMW App, Digital Key Plus, Emergency Call, Real-time Traffic Information, Remote Services and smartphone parking. BMW iDrive offers all the possibilities for interaction between occupants and the vehicle. It is complemented by the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant system.

  MyBMW app functions include popular options for keeping an eye on the current vehicle status at all times as well as Learning Navigation In addition, customers can use the My BMW app to generate the BMW Digital Key Plus, which turns a smartphone into a digital vehicle key. It will enable customers to physically open the doors and drive the vehicles using their smartphone as a key. If the Digital Key Plus is activated, it’s also possible to perform automated parking manoeuvres via smartphone with the BMW Parking Assistant Professional.
