<p>
  <strong>Spartanburg, South Carolina.</strong> The BMW Group announced
  today the completion of a $1.7 billion investment in its South
  Carolina operations. The company celebrated the milestone at the
  "Home of X" event at BMW Group Plant Spartanburg,
  reaffirming its longstanding commitment in the United States through
  continued investment and innovation leadership. With this milestone,
  BMW Group has completed the expansion of Plant Spartanburg and the
  construction of Plant Woodruff, establishing the foundation for the
  assembly of fully electric BMW vehicles in South Carolina. The United
  States remains one of BMW Group’s most important markets and business
  ecosystems worldwide.</p>
<p>The event also marked the world premiere of the new, fifth-generation
  BMW X5. BMW confirmed that the BMW iX5 will be the first fully
  electric BMW assembled in the United States, starting in late 2026.</p>
<p>"When we announced our investment plans for South Carolina in
  2022, we made a clear commitment to the future of the BMW Group in the
  United States," said Milan Nedeljković, Chairman of the Board of
  Management, BMW AG. "Today, we are delivering on that commitment.
  The completion of our investments in Plant Spartanburg and Plant
  Woodruff demonstrates our confidence in the United States and
  reinforces South Carolina’s role at the center of BMW Group’s global operations."</p>
<p>Together, Plant Spartanburg and Plant Woodruff form a highly
  integrated network supporting the future of BMW X model assembly and
  electrification in the United States.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Home of X.</strong>
</p>
<p>Home of X recognizes the significant role the United States plays in
  BMW Group’s global operations. South Carolina is the home of BMW
  Group’s largest plant worldwide. For more than 50 years, BMW has
  maintained a strong commitment in the United States, growing its
  presence to nearly 30 locations across 12 states. Today, BMW Group’s
  business activities in the U.S. support more than 120,000 jobs
  nationwide and contribute more than $43.3 billion annually to the U.S. economy.</p>
<p>Established more than three decades ago, BMW Group Plant Spartanburg
  is the global center of competence for BMW X models. Since 1994, more
  than 7.3 million BMW vehicles have been assembled in South Carolina
  for customers in the United States and around the world. In 2025,
  412,799 BMW X models were assembled at Plant Spartanburg – this marked
  the seventh time the plant has exceeded 400,000 units.</p>
<p>Approximately half of the plant's current production is exported to
  nearly 120 countries, helping to make BMW the leading automotive
  exporter in the United States by value. To date, nearly 3 million BMWs
  have been exported from the United States, valued at over $113 billion.</p>
<p>The completion of BMW Group’s $1.7 billion investment in South
  Carolina represents the latest chapter in the company’s longstanding
  commitment in the United States. Together, Plant Spartanburg and Plant
  Woodruff will enable the assembly of the next generation of BMW X
  vehicles, including fully electric models, while strengthening BMW
  Group’s ability to serve customers around the world.</p>
<p>With two plants, over 400 suppliers, and many longstanding strategic
  partners across the country, the United States remains central to BMW
  Group’s global strategy. This foundation supports future growth,
  innovation, electrification, and customer choice for decades to come.</p>
<p>
  <strong>New BMW X5 Available in Five Drivetrains.</strong>
</p>
<p>A centerpiece of the Home of X celebration was the world premiere of
  the new BMW X5. The X5 established the premium Sports Utility Vehicle
  segment and became one of the most successful products in BMW history.
  Since 1999, over 3 million BMW X5 models have been sold around the
  world, a third of which were sold in the U.S.</p>
<p>Assembled at Plant Spartanburg for over 25 years, the new BMW X5
  becomes the first vehicle offered with five drivetrain technologies.
  The options span internal combustion, battery electric, plug-in hybrid
  electric, diesel and, soon, fuel cell electric powered by hydrogen.
  This breadth reflects BMW Group's technology-open approach and
  commitment to customer choice.</p>
<p>"Our strategic course remains unchanged. We will continue to
  pursue the same technology-open strategy that has made BMW successful
  and will continue to make us successful in the future," continued Nedeljković.</p>
<p>Plant Spartanburg will be the first plant in the BMW Group’s global
  production network capable of assembling a single vehicle with five
  different drivetrain technologies on one assembly line, demonstrating
  the technology-open strategy at the highest level.</p>
<p>By offering a broad range of drivetrain technologies, BMW enables
  customers to select the vehicle that best suits their needs, driving
  habits, and preferences. This flexibility reflects BMW Group’s
  conviction that multiple technologies will play an important role in
  the transition to sustainable mobility.</p>
<p>"The new BMW X5 demonstrates our belief that innovation and
  customer choice go hand in hand," said Sebastian Mackensen,
  President & CEO, BMW of North America. "Our customers both in
  the U.S. and around the world will love the new BMW X5 – and our
  technology-open approach puts them in the driver’s seat to enjoy the
  performance and premium experience that define BMW, regardless of
  which drivetrain they choose."</p>
<p>BMW Group also confirmed that the BMW iX5 will be the first fully
  electric BMW vehicle assembled in the United States. Assembly is
  scheduled to begin at Plant Spartanburg before the end of 2026.</p>
<p>The announcement represents another important milestone in BMW
  Group’s electrification strategy. It fulfills a key commitment made as
  part of the company’s 2022 investment announcement. By 2030, BMW Group
  will assemble at least six fully electric BMW models in the United
  States, supported by locally assembled high-voltage batteries from
  Plant Woodruff.</p>
<p>"The future of BMW X models will continue to be shaped in South
  Carolina," said Dr. Robert Engelhorn, President & CEO, BMW
  Manufacturing Co. "From highly efficient combustion engines and
  plug-in hybrid systems to battery-electric and future hydrogen-powered
  vehicles, Plant Spartanburg will be able to assemble a broad range of
  drivetrain technologies for customers in the U.S. and around the
  world. This flexibility of Plant Spartanburg and our global production
  network strengthens our resilience, supports customer choice, and
  enables us to meet customer demand at any level."</p>
<p>
  <strong>Digitalization and AI in Production: Key Principles of BMW
    iFACTORY are implemented in Plants Spartanburg and Woodruff.</strong>
</p>
<p>The BMW iFACTORY concept defines the BMW Group’s strategic vision for
  the future of its global production network, driven by efficiency,
  sustainability, and digitalization. At both Plant Spartanburg and
  Plant Woodruff, the guiding principles of the BMW iFACTORY are already
  a reality.</p>
<p>Smart automation, end-to-end data integration, and virtual planning
  form a highly connected production system — with a highly skilled
  workforce at its core. Digital twins allow processes in both plants to
  be optimized long before the first component reaches the assembly
  line. 3D virtual simulations enable seamless implementation, reduce
  complexity, and enhance workflows and ergonomics for associates.</p>
<p>Artificial intelligence is deeply anchored in the assembly of both
  plants. AI-supported applications, including self-correcting robotics
  and vision-based quality controls, help ensure consistently high
  standards in a dynamic manufacturing environment. At both plants, AIQX
  (Artificial Intelligence Quality Next), an in-house IT platform at the
  BMW Group, is being applied. AIQX uses sensors and camera systems
  along the production line to automate quality processes. AI evaluates
  the data and provides real-time feedback to employees on the line.</p>
<p>At the same time, Plant Spartanburg is advancing the next stage of
  innovation through physical AI. By utilizing humanoid robots from
  Figure AI, Plant Spartanburg has become a pioneer of BMW’s Physical AI
  Initiative. These applications support associates in physically
  demanding and repetitive tasks, enabling greater focus on precision,
  craftsmanship, and quality that define every BMW vehicle.</p>
<p>At Plant Woodruff, the BMW Group is deploying intelligent,
  next-generation manufacturing powered by cutting-edge technologies —
  first proven in virtual environments. Guided by the BMW iFACTORY
  principles, the new plant also reduces complexity and sets new
  standards in high-voltage battery assembly. Following the
  “Cell-to-Pack” principle, the cells are assembled directly into the
  housing without the former processes of cell coating and cell module production.</p>
<p>All in all, innovative technologies at both plants support and
  protect people. In doing so, digitalization enhances production
  performance, resilience, and the flexibility and adaptability needed
  to meet the mobility demands of today and tomorrow.</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Contact presse: Jeroen Lissens<br>Tél: +32-3-890-9708<br>Adresse e-mail: <a href="mailto:jeroen.lissens@bmw.be">jeroen.lissens@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,Research &amp; Development,X5,BMW,Events,Production,G05,Industry 4.0,Logistics,Product]]></category>

The
  fifth generation of the BMW X5 impresses with technical innovations, a
  stunning new design and the integration of future-oriented
  technologies from the Neue Klasse. This underlines its exceptional
  status and reinforces its leading position in a segment that it
  originally established.</p>
<p>
  <strong>First model from the brand with</strong>
  <strong>five different drive system types.</strong>
  <br />As the first Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) from the brand and
  founding father of the eminently successful BMW X family, the
  trendsetting BMW X5 has been shaping the future in innovative style
  since its introduction in 1999. Embodying that very same aspiration,
  the new BMW X5 is the first model from the brand to come to market
  with a choice of five different drive system types.</p>
<p>In addition to variants with petrol or diesel combustion engines,
  including 48V mild hybrid technology, and plug-in hybrid models, the
  fifth generation of the successful model does not just encompass the
  first all-electric BMW iX5. The BMW iX5 Hydrogen is also set to
  celebrate its market launch – at a later stage – as the first
  hydrogen-powered BMW production vehicle. The powertrain encompasses
  the fuel cell system, in-car hydrogen storage with the new BMW
  Hydrogen Flat Storage technology and an innovative high-voltage
  battery.         The third generation of the fuel cell system enables
  a particularly compact design within a high-performance, efficient
  drive system with a range of up to 750 kilometres (466 miles)<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title="">[1]</a>.</p>
<p>The new BMW iX5 – the first battery-electric BMW X5 – is launching
  with the sixth generation of BMW’s eDrive technology. This means
  longer ranges of up to 845 kilometres (525 miles) in the
  BMW iX5 60 xDrive, fast charging, 800V technology and practical
  bidirectional charging. This is thanks to new cylindrical cells with a
  height of 120 millimetres, installed in the high-voltage battery and
  in use for the first time in the new BMW iX5.</p>
<p>“With its imposing presence and flawless symbiosis of comfort and
  driving pleasure, the BMW X5 became a global bestseller,” says
  Dr. Joachim Post, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG
  responsible for Development. “And now the latest generation also
  benefits from the technologies in the Neue Klasse and the widest
  possible range of drive systems. As a result, I’m sure the new BMW X5
  will set the benchmark in its class once again and write the next
  chapter in its success story.”</p>
<p>
  <strong>New design: unmistakeable presence from every perspective</strong>
  <strong>.<br />
  </strong>The new BMW X5 also takes a major leap forward in terms of
  design. Viewed from any perspective, the clear, monolithic and
  powerful appearance of the car embodies the confident presence that
  underlines its leading position in the segment, becoming one of the
  key faces of the brand. This is in large part down to the effortless
  melding of classic SAV proportions with the forward-looking BMW design
  language of the Neue Klasse to produce a harmonious, distinct end result.</p>
<p>The next generation of the distinctive X exterior is characterised by
  the upright design of the front end, the vertically aligned BMW kidney
  Iconic Glow and the new “double-X” light icons, making their first
  appearance in a BMW. The clearly structured side view of the BMW X5 is
  particularly impressive, thanks in large part to the innovative door
  handles, the BMW Winglets. These combine progressive design with
  functional convenience: recessed handles requires the lightest of
  touches to open the electrically powered doors.</p>
<p>Naturally, all models offer broad scope for tailoring the design,
  including eleven exterior paint colours and a precisely curated wheel
  range that now boasts 23-inch rims. The new BMW X5 M60e xDrive creates
  visual highlights emphasising its role as the sporting flagship, while
  the M Sport package and the M Sport package Pro provide a range of
  distinctive features.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Spacious, natural and innovative: redesigned interior combines
    feel good atmosphere with digital user experience.<br />
  </strong>One glance at the redesigned interior immediately reveals the
  extremely high quality of the new BMW X5. The interior impresses with
  clear structures and uncluttered surfaces, producing a harmonious
  sense of space and calmly providing subtle support for classic BMW
  driver orientation.</p>
<p>The outstanding visual and haptic quality of the interior is also
  underlined by the new decorative surfaces constructed from materials
  such as slate and glass that generate an atmosphere of elemental
  sophistication. BMW is the first carmaker worldwide to offer slate as
  an optional decorative surface.</p>
<p>The BMW X5 incorporates core technologies from the Neue Klasse in the
  form of the new BMW Panoramic iDrive display and operating system,
  underpinned by BMW Operating System X. These include the Central
  Display in free-cut design, the BMW 3D Head-Up Display, the
  BMW Passenger Screen available as an optional extra in the BMW X5 for
  the first time, the BMW Panoramic Vision with a projection surface
  extending across the full width of the windscreen and the new
  multifunction steering wheel. This results in an all-encompassing
  digital user experience centred around both the driver and their passengers.</p>
<p>The BMW X5 combines fascinating new technologies with a genuinely
  feel-good interior atmosphere. This is expressed in the lighting
  animations provided by the ambient light strip, a central element that
  creates an inviting wrap-around effect from door to door to generate a
  harmonious atmosphere.</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW X5 combines a high level of comfort with BMW typical
    driving dynamics and intelligent driver assistance systems.</strong>
  <br />As the sportiest SUV in its segment, the BMW X5 has long set
  standards in terms of driving dynamics – and the latest generation
  of the BMW X5 is equally impressive in its this respect. This is due
  in no small part to the adaptive suspension fitted as standard and
  axle load distribution close to 50:50. Optional extras include
  Adaptive Chassis Control, as well as the Adaptive Chassis Control
  Professional with roll stabilisation initially available for every
  all‑electric and plug‑in hybrid model. This system leads the way
  when it comes to blending BMW’s characteristic driving dynamics with
  maximum ride comfort.</p>
<p>BMW Symbiotic Drive provides intelligent support tailored to
  individual driving behaviour. The advanced Level 2 driver assistance
  systems and active safety functions are designed down to the smallest
  detail for seamless interaction between assistance and human driving.
  In the BMW iX5 models, and in the upcoming BMW iX5 Hydrogen, the
  Heart of Joy also enables a very special experience: BMW Soft-Stop,
  which executes the smoothest stopping action every provided by BMW.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Production and premiere in Spartanburg.</strong>
  <br />The market launch of the first variants of the new BMW X5 is
  scheduled for late November 2026, with the all-electric and
  plug‑in hybrid versions to follow in early 2027. Production of the
  new models will ramp up some months ahead of this, with
  BMW Group Plant Spartanburg (USA) initiating series production of the
  fifth-generation BMW X5 in August 2026.</p>
<div>
  <p>Plant Spartanburg has been producing the X5 ever since it was
    launched – founding a new market segment – in 1999. And now the
    facility is celebrating a new premiere: the new BMW iX5 will be the
    first all-electric vehicle to be manufactured there. The new factory
    for sixth-generation high-voltage batteries built for this model
    variant adjacent to BMW Group Plant Spartanburg requires no fossil
    fuels for normal operations. This is just one of many examples of
    the BMW Group’s rigorous approach to minimising CO<sub>2</sub>e
    emissions during production.</p>

      <strong>Munich.</strong> BMW is embarking on an exciting new era
      of driving pleasure with its second Neue Klasse model, the new BMW
      i3. Customers can place their orders for the fully electric BMW i3
      50 xDrive as First Edition ahead of the official market launch.
      The BMW i3 50 xDrive as First Edition is available exclusively
      from BMW retailers.</p>
    <p>
      <strong>Jochen Goller, Member of the Board of Management of BMW
        AG, Customer, Brands, Sales, says: </strong>“The new BMW i3 is a
      groundbreaking car for us. As a fully electric model, it will be
      competing in a high-volume segment and is therefore extremely
      significant for the BMW Group. At the same time, we can already
      tell from the high level of interest in this model that it will be
      very well received by our customers. The start of orders on 18
      June in First Edition form – ahead of the official market launch –
      is an important next step here.”</p>
    <p>The new BMW i3 – as the second Neue Klasse model to be launched –
      also embodies the technological leap forward taken by the brand.
      The highly efficient sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology teams
      up with the new BMW Panoramic iDrive and the Heart of Joy to
      elevate Sheer Driving Pleasure to a whole new level. And the
      assisted driving experience also enters a new era with BMW
      Symbiotic Drive. Furthermore, the BMW i3 brings a modern
      interpretation to the signature design features of a BMW sedan.</p>
    <p>Customers will be able to specify their new BMW i3 50 xDrive as
      First Edition with a host of additional equipment features to
      complement the already extensive standard equipment of the BMW i3
      50 xDrive. This includes the M Sport package, the BMW Iconic Glow
      exterior package and the BMW 3D Head-Up Display. The BMW i3 50
      xDrive as First Edition (WLTP, combined [EnVKV]: energy
      consumption 16.1–13.5 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions: 0 g/km; CO₂ class
      A) offers a range of 758 – 906 km (471 – 563 miles). With its 800V
      technology, the Gen6 system in the BMW i3 50 xDrive enables a
      maximum charging rate of up to 400 kW. After ten minutes of DC
      charging, this adds up to 423 km / 263 milesof range.</p>
    <p>At the official market launch in autumn 2026, the BMW i3 50
      xDrive (WLTP, combined [EnVKV]: energy consumption 16.1 – 13.4
      kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions: 0 g/km; CO₂ class A) in standard
      specification and with a range of up to 912 km (567 miles)<sup>3 </sup>
      <sup>
        <br />3 </sup>All values are provisional.</p>
    <p>
      <strong>Mike Reichelt, Head of Neue Klasse BMW, </strong>explains:
      “The BMW 3 Series has been an icon of our brand for seven
      generations and therefore more than five decades. It encapsulates
      pure driving pleasure, innovation and timeless design. With the
      Neue Klasse and its technology clusters, we are literally skipping
      a vehicle generation. This is the DNA of our sporting sedan in a
      completely new vehicle concept as we write the next chapter in the
      BMW 3 Series success story.”</p>
    <p>
      <strong>The BMW i3 exemplifies the new BMW design language:
        focused on the essentials in a modern, unmistakable style.</strong>
    </p>
    <p>With its 2.5-box design, the new BMW i3 offers a modern take on
      the hallmark proportions of a sporting BMW sedan – and is
      immediately recognisable as a BMW 3 Series. Its silhouette is
      shaped by a long wheelbase, glasshouse set well back and short
      overhangs. Familiar yet also new is the BMW-typical four-eyed face
      of the BMW i3. The Neue Klasse design language guides the fresh
      interpretation of the iconic front end. The BMW kidney grille and
      twin headlights merge as an innovative light signature into a
      single stylistic piece. The rear lights, with their pronounced
      horizontality, present the “L” shape in a new, abstract form.
      Prominently flared wheel arches amplify the broad, sporting stance
      of the new BMW i3.</p>
    <p>
      <strong>Taking BMW’s hallmark driver focus to a new level.</strong>
    </p>
    <p>The modern and dynamic interior represents a particularly vivid
      expression of the Neue Klasse design language. The spacious cabin
      of the new BMW i3 allows it to exploit the full potential of a
      vehicle architecture geared squarely to electric mobility.</p>
    <p>BMW Panoramic iDrive with BMW Operating System X employs a unique
      display and operating system to open up a new dimension in the
      hallmark BMW driver orientation. At its heart is the BMW Panoramic
      Vision, which projects content across the entire width of the
      lower area of the windscreen. The multimodal operating logic of
      BMW Panoramic iDrive combines touch, haptic and voice based
      interactions. The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant plays a key
      role here, enabling numerous vehicle functions, navigation
      destination entry and media content to be controlled using natural
      language. The introduction of large language model technology
      (LLM, Alexa+)<sup>1</sup> results in more dialogue-based verbal
      interaction, enabling intuitive and intelligent exchanges.</p>
    <p>
      <strong>BMW i3 takes technological leap forward with
        sixth-generation electric drive system.</strong>
    </p>
    <p>The first fully electric BMW 3 Series will be available from
      launch in BMW i3 50 xDrive form. It has one electric motor on the
      front axle and one on the rear axle, which together produce system
      output of 345 kW/469 hp. Peak torque is 645 Nm (475 lb-ft). The
      BMW i3 50 xDrive sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.7
      seconds. The BMW i3 50 xDrive as First Edition features identical
      motors and performance figures.</p>
    <p>In the new BMW i3, the highly efficient sixth-generation BMW
      eDrive technology joins forces with the Heart of Joy control
      computer and BMW Dynamic Performance Control driving stack.
      Together, they give the car extremely precise, effortless and
      assured driving characteristics. The Heart of Joy responds ten
      times faster than previous systems and reduces the number of
      control interventions necessary. The result is Sheer Driving
      Pleasure at a whole new level. The assisted driving experience
      also enters a new dimension in the BMW i3 with BMW Symbiotic Drive.</p>
    <p>The Soft Stop function ensures the smoothest stopping action in
      the history of BMW. Precise control of the electric motors brings
      the fully electric sedan to a imperceptibly gentle stop without
      any jerking or braking noises.</p>
    <p>When it comes to driver assistance technologies in the new BMW
      i3, BMW Symbiotic Drive enables seamless interaction between
      assistance functions and human driving behaviour. With driver
      assistance activated, drivers can respond to situations in their
      own style by accelerating, steering or braking – and without
      deactivating the relevant assistance system in the process. The
      optional Motorway Assistant enables hands-free assisted driving on
      the motorway up to 130 km/h (81mph) with automated lane changes
      after confirmation by eye signal<sup>2</sup>.</p>
    <p>
      <sup>1</sup> Planned from the second half of 2026 for vehicles
      with BMW Operating System X in Germany and the USA. Further
      markets and model ranges will follow in stages.<sup>
        <br />2 </sup>Available in most European countries, USA and
      Canada by the end of 2026.</p>
    <p>
      <strong>Long range, shorter charging times and bidirectional
        charging functions.</strong>
    </p>
    <p>Another feature of the technological leap forward taken by the
      new BMW i3 is the high-voltage battery with new cylindrical cells
      offering capacity of 108.7 kWh. The pack-to-open-body design of
      the battery housing turns the battery into a structural part of
      the new BMW i3.</p>
    <p>The BMW i3 50 xDrive as First Edition has a range of up to 906
      kilometres / 563 miles (as per WLTP test cycle) and therefore
      offers a high degree of long-distance capability combined with
      dramatically shortened charging times thanks to 800V technology.
      DC charging rates of up to 400 kW allow the BMW i3 50 xDrive to
      take on enough energy in ten minutes from a DC rapid charging
      point for up to 423 km (263 miles) of range<sup>1</sup> (as per
      ISO 12906 in the WLTP cycle). The new BMW i3 also offers
      bidirectional charging functions.</p>
    <p>
      <strong>The equipment fitted in the BMW i3 50 xDrive as First
        Edition includes the M Sport package and BMW Iconic Glow
        exterior package.</strong>
    </p>
    <p>The new BMW i3 50 xDrive as First Edition uses the equipment
      items it adds over standard specification to underscore the
      exceptional attributes of the first fully electric BMW 3 Series.
      The extensive standard equipment of the BMW i3 50 xDrive includes
      the Panoramic Vision, Driving Assistant Plus, Comfort Access, BMW
      Digital Key Plus, and electric and heated front seats. A standout
      feature of the BMW i3 50 xDrive as First Edition is the M Sport
      package. It brings the M Aerodynamics package, blue M Sport brakes
      and exterior mirror projection with M logo, complemented inside
      the car by the exclusive BMW M interior design in Veganza and M
      PerformTex Black (other upholstery variants are available).</p>
    <p>
      <sup>1</sup> The added range after ten minutes of high-power
      charging was determined in accordance with ISO 12906 in the WLTP
      cycle. This and the charging performance depend on the vehicle
      specification, battery charge, condition and temperature,
      individual driving profile, use of auxiliary consumers, ambient
      temperature and the charging power provided by the charging point.</p>
    <p>The M Sport package therefore makes the dynamic potency of the
      new fully electric sedan evident at first glance.</p>
    <p>First Edition specification also includes the BMW Iconic Glow
      exterior package, which underscores the visual depth of the iconic
      BMW kidneys with precise contour lighting. Another feature of this
      package is a welcome and goodbye animation, which brings three
      visually impressive light effects. The BMW Iconic Glow exterior
      package allows BMW i3 customers to adapt these attractive effects
      to their personal tastes.</p>
    <p>
      <strong>Further interior highlights include multifunction seats,
        BMW 3D Head-Up Display and Harman Kardon HiFi loudspeaker system.</strong>
    </p>
    <p>The interior of the BMW i3 50 xDrive as First Edition also comes
      with a host of additional equipment highlights. These include
      front multifunction seats with electric adjustment, three-zone
      automatic climate control, sun protection glazing and steering
      wheel heating.</p>
    <p>The BMW 3D Head-Up Display complements the display and operating
      system of the new BMW i3. It is integrated above the BMW Panoramic
      Vision. The BMW 3D Head-Up Display additionally projects selected
      content exclusively into the driver’s line of sight. This enables
      extremely precise spatial perception – with navigation
      instructions, for example.</p>
    <p>The Harman Kardon HiFi loudspeaker system with Dolby Atmos
      support brings a particularly high level of sound quality to the
      BMW i3 50 xDrive as First Edition. The automatic tailgate
      operation including Smart Opener provides extremely easy access to
      the load compartment. And adding the finishing touches to First
      Edition specification is AC charging Professional, which raises
      the AC charging rate from 11 to 22 kW.</p>
    <p>
      <strong>Additional attractive features available as an option for
        the BMW i3 50 xDrive as First Edition.</strong>
    </p>
    <p>Customers add further personal touches to their BMW i3 50 xDrive
      as First Edition with the help of model-specific items of optional
      equipment. One very popular option is seat heating for the rear
      seats. Meanwhile, the optional panoramic glass sunroof with
      climate comfort glazing creates a feeling of space bathed in
      light. A trailer tow hitch with electrically pivoting ball head
      can also be ordered.</p>
    <p>The extensive entertainment offering available from BMW Connected
      Drive allows customers to specify optional additional BMW Maps
      functions, the Security Assistant and a data package as part of
      BMW Digital Premium.</p>
    <p>Customers can also choose from a selection of additional options
      for their BMW i3 50 xDrive as First Edition when it comes to
      driving and parking functions. The range of options designed to
      enhance safety and comfort further still includes Parking
      Assistant Plus, Parking Assistant Professional and the Motorway.</p>
    <p>
      <strong>Wide range of choices for exterior colours, wheels,
        interior worlds and steering wheels.</strong>
    </p>
    <p>A total of six attractive exterior paint finishes are available
      for the BMW i3 50 xDrive as First Edition. These include the
      exclusive metallic colour shade M Le Castellet Blue.</p>
    <p>The range of wheel rims comprises three aerodynamic wheels and a
      light-alloy variant: customers can choose between 19- and 20-inch rims.</p>
    <p>When it comes to the interior of the new BMW i3 50 xDrive as
      First Edition, Contemporary interior design and BMW M interior
      design allow customers to choose from various attractive colour
      worlds. And the range of steering wheels offers further scope for
      customisation, with the optional sports steering wheel, M steering
      wheel and BMW Individual steering wheel (only in conjunction with
      Contemporary interior design Bicolour Digital White) all available
      to order.<strong>

</ul>
<p>
  <strong>Munich/Spartanburg (USA).</strong> The new BMW X5 has entered
  the finishing straight in its development programme. The fifth
  generation of the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) is now completing
  final calibration drives around its production base at BMW Group Plant
  Spartanburg in the USA. The new BMW X5 will be the first
  BMW production model to be introduced onto the market with a choice of
  five different drive system technologies. The first fully electric
  BMW iX5 will be making its debut, and this will be followed in 2028 by
  the arrival of the first ever hydrogen-powered BMW to go into series
  production – the BMW iX5 Hydrogen. Also available will be petrol and
  diesel variants with 48V mild hybrid technology, and plug‑in hybrid
  models. Media representatives from various countries took the chance
  to sample the BMW X5 40 xDrive (294 kW/400 hp), BMW X5 50e xDrive
  plug-in hybrid (360 kW/490 hp) and BMW iX5 60 xDrive (425 kW/578 hp)
  in the concluding test drives before the start of production.</p>
<p>
  <strong>The fully electric BMW iX5: world premiere with new Gen6
    eDrive technology.</strong>
</p>
<p>The first battery-electric BMW iX5 is based on the sixth generation
  of BMW eDrive technology, which features a new high-voltage battery
  concept with cylindrical cells and 800V technology. With its usable
  energy content of 144 kWh in the USA and 141 kWh in the EU (net), the
  BMW iX5 60 xDrive boasts the largest high-voltage battery to be fitted
  in an all-electric BMW model to date. Propulsive power is provided by
  one electric motor at the front axle and another at the rear, working
  in tandem with BMW xDrive electric all-wheel drive.</p>
<p>
  <strong>The BMW iX5 Hydrogen: hydrogen-powered production model from
    BMW due in 2028 with innovative Flat Storage system.<br />
  </strong>The first ever hydrogen-powered BMW production model, the BMW
  iX5 Hydrogen, will hit the roads in 2028. Its powertrain comprises a
  fuel cell system, the new BMW Hydrogen Flat Storage system and an
  innovative high-voltage battery. The third generation of the fuel cell
  system forms the basis for a particularly compact design as well as
  high power and efficiency. The flat tank system consists of seven
  high-pressure tanks made of a carbon-fibre reinforced composite, which
  are connected with one another in parallel. These are integrated into
  a robust metal frame. This layout makes exceptionally efficient use of
  the space the system takes up in the vehicle; no room is lost inside
  the cabin. Another benefit is that models with fuel cell technology
  can be built on the same production line as other drive system types.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Pure driving pleasure thanks to the Heart of Joy.</strong>
  <br />The new BMW X5 will offer a new-dimension driving experience
  courtesy of technology from the Neue Klasse – the Heart of Joy
  featuring the BMW Dynamic Performance Control driving stack developed
  fully in-house. This high-performance control unit acts ten times
  faster than previous systems, meaning it is able to make adjustments
  to the powertrain, brakes, steering sub-functions, charging and
  recuperation in a matter of milliseconds. The result is remarkable
  agility, poise and precision. In the BMW iX5 and BMW iX5 Hydrogen,
  this technology also impresses with extremely smooth stopping
  manoeuvres while also increasing efficiency by recovering more energy
  under deceleration with regenerative braking. In combustion-engined or
  plug-in hybrid models, the latest digital and highly interconnected
  driving dynamics systems ensure the car always makes optimum use of
  the available traction and delivers composed handling at all times.
  These systems include the standard-fitted tenth-generation transverse
  dynamics management system and near-actuator wheel slip limitation,
  both supported by precisely tuned chassis components.</p>
<p>The wheels – larger rims with diameters of up to 23 inches can now be
  specified – and the standard mixed-size tyres further enhance comfort,
  stability and dynamism. The new BMW X5 comes as standard with adaptive
  suspension whose dampers are controlled electronically for each
  individual wheel, plus almost 50:50 weight distribution. The dampers
  can be continuously adjusted, enabling everything from a very
  comfortable ride through to sporty, dynamic handling. Adaptive Chassis
  Control Professional, which is available as an option for the
  all‑electric BMW iX5 and the plug-in hybrid models, maximises dynamic
  prowess. It includes two-axle air suspension with electronically
  controlled dampers, Integral Active Steering and active roll stabilisation.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Next-generation driver assistance systems.<br />
  </strong>The new BMW X5 features innovative SAE Level 2 driver
  assistance systems and active safety functions from the Neue Klasse
  technology clusters. Customers can therefore look forward to
  significant upgrades and extended functionality, as well
  as BMW Symbiotic Drive. One example of these innovations is the
  optional Motorway and City Assistant, which includes Entry-2-Exit
  assistance on motorways and Address‑2‑Address assistance in urban
  areas. The advanced Level 2 driver assistance systems from BMW are
  meticulously designed for seamless interaction between assistance tech
  and human driving habits. The aim here is not to attain the highest
  possible level of automation in every situation, but to provide a safe
  driver assistance experience that offers maximum benefit and remains
  controllable at all times. As a result, the driver always stays
  involved as human and artificial intelligence interact. With driver
  assistance systems active, this means the driver can accelerate, steer
  and brake as required, without instantly deactivating the assistance
  system in the process. The straightforward operating logic and clear
  displays of BMW Panoramic iDrive ensure that assisted driving is
  intuitive and controllable at all times, enabling safe use of the
  highest SAE Level 2 automation.</p>
<p>The symbiotic interaction between driver and vehicle can also be
  experienced with active safety functions that work unobtrusively in
  the background as silent companions. A good example is the Lane
  Keeping Assistant, which detects t. The driver’s intention based on
  steering behaviour and where they are looking. The system only assists
  with warnings and steering inputs when the driver really is drifting
  out of their lane unintentionally or an impending collision is
  detected. Other safety functions include automated evasive manoeuvring
  within the car’s own lane, Lane Change Warning, Side Collision Warning
  with steering intervention when there is a risk of a lateral
  collision, plus Crossing Traffic Warning and automatic braking when
  turning into a road or exiting a parking space.</p>
<p>* As this is a development-phase prototype, the figures given are
  provisional. Energy consumption information as per WLTP is not yet available.</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Contact presse: Fanny De Leenheer<br>Tél: 038905175<br>Adresse e-mail: <a href="mailto:fanny.de-leenheer@partner.bmw.be">fanny.de-leenheer@partner.bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,X5,iX5 Hydrogen,iX5,X5 50e xDrive,Product,BMW]]></category>

  <strong>Antwerpen/Bornem, le 5 juin 2026 – Katoen Natie et BMW Group
    Belux signent ensemble la plus grosse commande de voitures
    électriques jamais passée en Belgique auprès d’un constructeur
    automobile unique. Cet accord soutient le choix stratégique de
    Katoen Natie d’électrifier sa flotte de véhicules d’entreprise dans
    le cadre d’une stratégie globale de durabilité.</strong>
</p>
<p>
  <strong>//</strong>
</p>
<p>Pour Katoen Natie, cet investissement s’inscrit dans une stratégie à
  long terme intégrée, centrée sur le développement durable dans
  l’ensemble des activités. L’entreprise mise depuis plusieurs années
  sur une combinaison de production d’énergie renouvelable, de stockage
  d’énergie et de gestion intelligente de l’énergie, afin d’organiser au
  mieux et localement sa consommation énergétique.</p>
<p>L’électrification de la flotte automobile s’inscrit parfaitement dans
  cette approche plus large. D’ici fin 2027, plus de 1 000 véhicules à
  moteur thermique seront remplacés par des BMW et MINI entièrement
  électriques au sein de la flotte existante de Katoen Natie. Cela
  représente le plus grand accord d’électrification d’une flotte
  automobile en Belgique en une seule fois.</p>
<p>
  <strong>« Tout comme BMW Group, Katoen Natie adopte une vision globale
    de la durabilité », déclare Alexander W. Wehr, PDG du BMW Group
    Belux. « La mobilité n’est réellement durable que si l’on considère
    l’ensemble de la chaîne de valeur, et Katoen Natie est
    particulièrement bien placée pour maîtriser ce tableau global. Nous
    sommes fiers que deux leaders européens unissent leurs forces dans
    un partenariat durable à long terme. »</strong>
</p>
<p>Tout comme BMW Group, Katoen Natie dispose déjà d’une capacité
  significative en matière d’énergies renouvelables. Répartie sur
  différents sites, l’entreprise produit de l’électricité verte via
  l’énergie solaire et éolienne, complétée par un stockage d’énergie à
  grande échelle et une gestion intelligente. En associant la mobilité
  électrique à cette infrastructure, l’impact de la transition
  énergétique est renforcé et la dépendance vis-à-vis des sources
  d’énergie externes est réduite.</p>
<p>
  <strong>« Pour nous, l’électrification n’est pas un simple projet
    isolé, mais une étape logique dans le cadre d’une stratégie plus
    vaste d’énergie et de durabilité », déclare Joris Verheulpen, Chief
    Procurement Officer de Katoen Natie. « Nous construisons un système
    intégré où véhicules, production d’énergie, stockage et gestion
    intelligente se renforcent mutuellement. Le choix de BMW s’inscrit
    dans cette approche: échelle, base technologique solide et
    orientation sur le long terme. »</strong>
</p>
<p>L’électrification de la flotte Katoen Natie devrait entraîner une
  réduction annuelle d’environ 3 350 tonnes d’émissions de CO2 et une
  économie d’environ 800 000 litres de carburant fossile.
  L’électrification sera soutenue par des investissements
  supplémentaires dans les infrastructures de recharge et un système
  énergétique intégré qui maximise l’utilisation de l’énergie
  renouvelable produite localement. Katoen Natie investit également dans
  un réseau de points de charge sur ses sites belges, soutenu par des
  systèmes intelligents qui ajustent les processus de recharge à la
  production d’énergie disponible et à la charge du réseau. De cette
  manière, l’énergie produite localement est maximisée et le système
  énergétique dans son ensemble est géré de façon plus efficace.</p>
<p>La collaboration avec BMW Group Belux s’inscrit dans ces choix
  stratégiques. Les deux entreprises partagent une vision à long terme
  et un focus sur l’innovation et le développement technologique. Dans
  le cadre de ce partenariat, les deux parties étudieront également
  comment approfondir la collaboration, notamment en matière
  d’électrification, d’infrastructures de recharge, de services de
  mobilité numérique et de solutions logistiques.</p>
<p>Pour les véhicules livrés, l’accent sera mis sur le BMW iX1 et le
  MINI Countryman électrique, mais les modèles de la Neue Klasse seront
  également impliqués, tels que le BMW iX3 et la nouvelle BMW i3
  récemment présentée, deux modèles équipés de l’option de charge bidirectionnelle.</p>
<p>Katoen Natie et BMW Group ne sont pas inconnus l’un pour l’autre. À
  titre d’exemple, BMW Group et Katoen Natie collaborent déjà dans la
  chaîne d’approvisionnement automobile en Thaïlande, où Katoen Natie
  assure le support logistique pour la production BMW. L’accord en
  Belgique consolide ainsi un partenariat déjà opérationnel à l’échelle internationale.</p>

<p>
  <strong>Landshut.</strong> BMW Group Plant Landshut has started
  pre-series production of a key control unit for the BMW Group hydrogen
  drivetrain. The so-called “Energy Master” will in future be used in
  the new BMW iX5 Hydrogen. At the same time, the site is commissioning
  a second production line for the control unit used in the
  battery-electric vehicles of the Neue Klasse (BMW iX3 and BMW i3).</p>
<p>The Energy Master is the central control unit of the high-voltage
  system. In battery-electric vehicles, it is mounted on the
  high-voltage battery. In the BMW iX5 Hydrogen, a modified version
  performs a central control function within the drivetrain system and
  is installed on the <a href="https://newsroom.bmwgroup.com/global/en">BMW
    Hydrogen Flat Storage system</a>. The control unit combines energy
  and data flows, manages the power supply for the e-machine and
  on-board electrical system, and ensures safe, intelligent operation of
  the overall system. This makes it the key interface between the fuel
  cell system, the innovative high-voltage battery and the electric
  drive machines.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Josef Hochreiter, Vice President Hydrogen Vehicles at the BMW
  Group: </strong>“Our ambition for the BMW iX5 Hydrogen is clear: a
  genuine BMW – with sheer driving pleasure. To achieve this, a
  perfectly coordinated overall system is crucial. The Energy Master is
  a key component in this: it intelligently controls the innovative
  high-voltage battery and, together with the third-generation fuel cell
  system, delivers assured driving dynamics.”</p>
<p>The plant’s expertise creates synergies between battery-electric and
  hydrogen-based drivetrain technologies. The close integration of
  electrical/electronics expertise and industrial series production
  makes the plant ideally suited to manufacture components for both
  technology paths. At the BMW Group, the development and production of
  the Energy Master are being carried out fully in-house for the first time.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Thomas Thym, Head of BMW Group Plant Landshut</strong>: “With
  the start of pre-series production of the hydrogen-specific Energy
  Master, we are reinforcing Plant Landshut’s role as a centre of
  expertise for innovative drivetrain technologies. Here we combine
  development, manufacturing expertise and industrial scaling – for
  battery-electric vehicles as well as hydrogen fuel cells.”</p>
<p>
  <strong>Landshut’s role in electromobility<br />
  </strong>BMW Group Plant Landshut is home to two production areas for
  the Energy Master. For battery-electric vehicles (BEV), the highly
  complex control unit has already been in series production since last
  year – currently for the BMW iX3 and BMW i3 models of the Neue Klasse.
  With the commissioning of the second production line, capacity for
  this will almost double. At the same time, pre-series production of
  the hydrogen-specific Energy Master for the BMW iX5 Hydrogen is now beginning.</p>
<p>In addition, Landshut plays a central role in the BMW Group hydrogen
  drivetrain network: the media distribution plate and the fuel cell
  stack housing for the current pilot fleet of the BMW iX5 Hydrogen were
  already produced here and have since been further refined. The media
  distribution plate ensures the precise distribution of hydrogen and
  air within the fuel cell, while the stack housing structurally
  integrates and protects the cell stack.</p>
<p>
  <strong>The new BMW iX5 Hydrogen<br />
  </strong>For the BMW iX5 Hydrogen, which will be launched in 2028, the
  BMW Group is introducing a new hydrogen tank concept. The arrangement
  and size of the tanks enable a range of up to 750 kilometres*. The BMW
  Hydrogen Flat Storage system makes particularly efficient use of the
  available installation space and is compatible with the Gen6
  high-voltage battery without taking up interior space. This makes it
  possible to produce fuel cell models on the same production line as
  vehicles with other drive systems.</p>
<p>The BMW Hydrogen Flat Storage technology forms part of the
  drivetrain. Together with the fuel cell system and an innovative
  high-voltage battery, it delivers the brand-typical BMW driving
  pleasure. The latest generation of fuel cell technology (Gen3) will
  also be used; it is more compact, more efficient and more powerful
  than all previous generations and is being developed jointly by the
  BMW Group and Toyota Motor Corporation.</p>
<p>Series production of the fuel cell systems will begin from 2028 at
  BMW Group Plant Steyr; Landshut is firmly integrated as a technology
  and component location.</p>
<p>
  <strong>The BMW Hydrogen strategy<br />
  </strong>The BMW Group sees technological openness and a broad product
  portfolio as key success factors. By integrating fuel cell technology
  into the new BMW X5 series, the company is strategically expanding its
  series offering and making the advantages of hydrogen available to customers.</p>
<p>Hydrogen stands for electric driving with long range and fast
  refuelling, diversifies energy sources and reduces dependence on a
  single infrastructure or raw material supply chain.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Investment and funding strengthen Germany as an industrial location<br />
  </strong>Through the "HyPowerDrive" project the development
  of the powertrain and the tank system of the BMW iX5 Hydrogen is
  funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport (BMV) within the framework
  of the IPCEI Hy2Move. The federal government is providing funding of
  EUR 191 million. In addition, the project is (co-)financed by the
  state of Bavaria with a total of EUR 82 million. The funding is
  implemented by the Projec<em>t Management Jülich (PtJ) and coordinated
    by NOW GmbH.</em>
</p>
<p>Since 2020, the BMW Group has invested a high three-digit
  million-euro sum in expanding electromobility and related key
  technologies at Plant Landshut.</p>

    statutory WLTP consumption data (and EPA) is not yet available.</em>

  <strong>Munich/Dingolfing.</strong> One out of two million: A BMW i5
  M60 xDrive sedan in Tansanit Blue assembled at Plant Dingolfing is the
  two-millionth all-electric vehicle produced by the BMW Group. The
  anniversary vehicle is going to a customer in Spain.</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW Group Plant Dingolfing: home to the most all-electric models</strong></p>
<p>Plant Dingolfing began series production of all-electric automobiles
  in 2021 with the BMW iX. Today, it builds the widest range of BEV
  models within the BMW Group: the BMW iX, the BMW i5 sedan and touring,
  and the BMW i7. Since 2021, more than 320,000 all-electric vehicles
  have already been built at the Lower Bavarian site. This means that
  almost every sixth of the BMW Group’s total of two million BEVs comes
  from Dingolfing. In 2025, more than a quarter of the vehicles produced
  at Plant Dingolfing were all-electric.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Clear strategy with maximum flexibility</strong></p>
<p>As part of the BMW iFACTORY, the BMW Group continues to pursue a
  technology-open approach in its plants: vehicles with different
  powertrains are flexibly produced in a mixed build on a single
  production line. For several years now, at least one all-electric
  model has been rolling off the line at every German BMW Group plant -
  e-mobility has become the new normal across the company’s production
  network. In doing so, the BMW Group is making a significant
  contribution to Germany being the world’s second-largest production
  location for electric cars today.</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Contact presse: Jeroen Lissens<br>Tél: +32-3-890-9708<br>Adresse e-mail: <a href="mailto:jeroen.lissens@bmw.be">jeroen.lissens@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,Research &amp; Development,Production,Sedan,G60,i5,Product,BMW]]></category>

    Travel & Comfort System round off the luxurious, individual
    overall experience.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>BMW Panoramic iDrive and new BMW Passenger Screen open up
      new dimensions in entertainment and information.</strong>
    <br />The new BMW 7 Series combines the virtues of a luxury-class
    sedan with innovative BMW Neue Klasse technology and offers a
    far-reaching, digital user experience that focuses on both the
    driver and passengers. Among the highlights are BMW Panoramic iDrive
    with BMW Operating System X and optimum driver orientation,
    intelligent voice control with extended BMW Intelligent Personal
    Assistant including Amazon Alexa+ AI technology<a href="https://pressclub.bmwgroup.net/commportal/article/detail/T0457130EN/the-new-bmw-7-series?language=en#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title="">[2]</a>, and a powerful software and
    electronics architecture delivering future-proof functionality.</p>
  <p>New features such as improved navigation with BMW Maps,
    user-friendly smartphone integration, digital M content
    from BMW Digital Premium, the BMW Digital Key Plus, plus numerous
    optional BMW ConnectedDrive Upgrades and regular
    over‑the‑air software updates endow the BMW 7 Series Sedan with
    exceptional flexibility and keep it up to date.</p>
  <p>The standard-specification BMW Passenger Screen and optional
    BMW Theatre Screen for 8K streaming, gaming and video calls provide
    top‑class entertainment for passengers and are augmented by popular
    third-party apps. The extensive entertainment offering is also

  <p>
    <strong>Proven commitment to technology openness: efficient
      combustion engines, plug-in hybrids and fully electric variants
      now offering over 720 kilometres / 447 miles of electric range
      (WLTP) thanks to technology including cylindrical cells from
      sixth-generation BMW eDrive.</strong>
    <br />The new BMW 7 Series Sedan impresses once again with the wide
    variety of drive systems available to customers. As well as
    efficient combustion engines with 48V mild hybrid technology and
    powerful plug-in hybrids, this also includes advanced fully electric
    variants. The use of innovative cylindrical cells – part of
    sixth-generation BMW eDrive – gives the fully electric models a
    significantly longer electric range that now extends to over
    720 kilometres / 447 miles (WLTP). In addition, drivers benefit from
    user-friendly and intelligent charging solutions, route planning
    optimised for charging, adaptive recuperation and integration into
    the energy market for cost-optimised charging. The exceptionally
    poised and assured BMW 740d xDrive is now joined by the BMW 740
    xDrive. And completing the line-up are two plug-in hybrid variants.
    In addition, a total of three BMW M Performance models demonstrate
    the strong commitment of the new BMW 7 Series to Sheer Driving Pleasure.</p>

      driving and parking manoeuvres.<br /></strong>The new BMW 7 Series
    Sedan employs advanced technologies and increases the use of
    artificial intelligence (AI) to set new standards of comfort and
    safety in partially automated driving and parking manoeuvres.
    Innovative SAE Level 2 driver assistance systems and active safety
    functions provide noticeable added value, while BMW Symbiotic Drive
    optimises the interplay between the driver and their car. The
    Motorway Assistant enables hands-off driving up to 130 km/h (81 mph)
    in numerous European countries, and the City Assistant now supports
    navigation-guided Address-2-Address journeys in urban areas. The new
    driver assistance visualisation function in BMW Maps gives the
    driver a better overview of the situation when using the navigation
    system. The range of active safety functions specified as standard
    has been broadened compared to that of the predecessor model, while
    the standard-fit Park Assist, and AI-supported parking space
    detection and manoeuvre planning make parking extremely intuitive
    and comfortable.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Driving pleasure meets the pleasure of being driven: unique
      combination of driving dynamics and comfort.<br /></strong>As
    before, the new BMW 7 Series Sedan blends compelling driving
    dynamics with the comfort levels of a luxury chauffeur-driven sedan
    and so meets the diverse needs of different customer groups around
    the world – from drivers looking for sporting responses from their
    car to passengers prioritising comfort. Innovative chassis
    technology, including standard adaptive 2‑axle air suspension
    featuring four electronically controlled shock absorbers, allows the
    BMW 7 Series to offer standout driving characteristics and safety.
    22-inch wheels are now available from the factory for the first time
    as an alternative to the 20-inch items fitted as standard. The
    optional Adaptive Chassis Control with Integral Active Steering and
    Adaptive Chassis Control Professional with Integral Active Steering
    and roll stabilisation raise the bar once again in terms of comfort
    and agility. Specific chassis upgrades brought by the M Sport
    package turn the dynamic dial up another notch, as do a trio of
    M Performance models. And cutting-edge functions such as digital
    tyre conditioning monitoring with AI, the integrated braking system
    and near-actuator wheel slip limitation ensure top-drawer handling
    and safety.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>When maximum security meets luxury: the BMW 7 Series
    Protection.<br /></strong>The BMW 7 Series Protection brings
    together exceptionally high levels of safety, security and luxury.
    It provides occupants with protection from attacks with firearms or
    explosives and has VR9 certification – with VPAM 10 classification,
    representing the highest level of protection, available as an
    option. Underpinning this capability is the innovative
    BMW Protection Core with multi-layer armouring consisting of steel,
    special alloys, composite materials and bulletproof glass. The
    suspension and brakes are set up specially to ensure BMW’s signature
    dynamic ability is preserved. A new BMW 7 Series Protection special
    protection vehicle based on the new BMW 7 Series is in the final
    stages of development.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Focus on sustainability: resource-efficient development and
      production, innovative CO₂ reduction measures and TÜV-certified
      transparency throughout the car’s life cycle.<br /></strong>With
    the new BMW 7 Series, the BMW Group is extending its sustainability
    strategy across all drive-system variants. The focus here is on
    resource-efficient product development, innovative technologies and
    measures applied throughout the car’s life cycle – from the supply
    chain to production and the use phase. In the case of the BMW i7, in
    particular, CO₂e emissions have been significantly reduced with the
    help of secondary materials, renewable energies and optimised
    manufacturing processes, e.g. through the use of Gen6 battery cells
    and aluminium wheel rims with a high recycled material content. The
    company’s ambitious climate goals, including reducing CO₂e emissions
    by 60 million tons by 2035, are part of a 360° sustainability
    approach. Transparency is guaranteed by TÜV-certified carbon
    footprint verification. Production uses electricity and heat
    generated from renewable sources, supported by photovoltaic systems
    and a biomass heating plant.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Production at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing.<br /></strong>All
    model and drive-system variants of the new BMW 7 Series Sedan will
    be built on a single production line at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing.
    The tradition-rich location in Lower Bavaria combines the customary
    BMW passion for flawless engineering with skilled craftsmanship like
    no other. By beginning the rollout of Neue Klasse technologies, BMW
    Group Plant Dingolfing is once again assuming the role of lead plant
    for the new BMW luxury-class models.</p>
  <p>The new BMW 7 Series Sedan celebrates its world premiere on 22
    April 2026. The start of production and worldwide market launch will
    follow just a few months later, from July 2026.</p>

  <strong>Technologie de cellules de batterie de 6e génération avec une
    empreinte carbone réduite +++ Utilisation de matériaux recyclés et

<p>//</p>
<p>
  <strong>Munich.</strong> In line with its sustainability strategy, the
  BMW Group is once again systematically leveraging product
  sustainability innovations in the new BMW 7 Series. This is evident,
  for example, in the use of a new battery cell technology and a higher
  percentage of secondary material in the wheel rims. These measures
  represent a targeted further development, applying proven
  sustainability approaches to another BMW model.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Sixth-generation (Gen6) battery cells in the new BMW i7:
    Measures to reduce CO<sub>2</sub>e in core</strong> <strong>component.</strong>
  <br />Essential levers for reducing supply chain CO₂e emissions
  include increased use of secondary materials and renewable energies,
  in combination with selected product and process
  innovations.<br />Gen6 battery cells for the BMW i7’s high-voltage
  battery are manufactured exclusively using energy from renewable
  sources. The same applies to production of the necessary anode and
  cathode active material. Cell production also relies in part on
  secondary raw materials for the lithium, cobalt and nickel required.
  This reduces the overall supply chain CO<sub>2</sub>e footprint of the
  Gen6 battery cell in the new BMW i7 60 xDrive by approximately 33
  percent compared to the previous Gen5 cell used in the BMW i7 to date.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Aluminium wheels with high percentage of secondary raw materials.</strong>
  <br />From 2026, selected rim designs for the BMW i7 will be available
  with 70 percent secondary aluminium. Electrolysis of the remaining
  primary aluminium, as well as wheel rim production, is carried out in
  part using renewable energy. All components with a high percentage of
  secondary raw materials meet the BMW Group’s same strict quality
  standards, while also contributing to resource efficiency.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Enhanced efficiency during use phase.<br /></strong>With its
  EfficientDynamics technology package, the BMW Group optimises vehicle
  efficiency across all relevant subsystems during the use phase. This
  includes aerodynamics, lightweight construction, rolling resistance
  and overall energy management. EfficientDynamics has been used by the
  BMW Group across all drive technologies since 2007.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Production at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing.</strong>
  <br />All model variants of the new BMW 7 Series Sedan are produced at
  BMW Group Plant Dingolfing. The facility in Lower Bavaria, the Group’s
  primary plant for BMW luxury cars, increasingly relies on renewable
  energy for electricity and heating. 100 percent of its external
  electricity comes from renewable sources, some of which is also
  generated directly on site. In late 2025, an approximately
  100,000-square-metre rooftop photovoltaic system with an output of
  almost 11 MWp was commissioned at the facility. In addition, a biomass
  heating plant went on-stream late last year to ensure that
  locally-produced heat is partially supplied from renewable energy sources.</p>
<p>
  <strong>In line with BMW Group’s sustainable development goals.</strong>
  <br />The BMW Group’s commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement and to
  reaching “net zero” no later than 2050 is an integral part of its
  holistic 360° approach to sustainability, which is anchored in its
  corporate strategy. The BMW Group has set itself ambitious
  science-based CO<sub>2</sub>e targets for the coming years and intends
  to reduce its CO<sub>2</sub>e emissions by a total of at least 40
  million tonnes from 2019 levels by 2030.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Transparency through BMW Vehicle Footprint.</strong>
  <br />The BMW Group has published its vehicles’ Product Carbon
  Footprint, as validated by the German Technical Inspection Association
  (TÜV), in the so-called Vehicle Footprint for several years. This
  report is publicly available <a href="https://www.bmwgroup.com/de/downloadcenterpage.html?area=responsibility#accordion-6a292cd825-item-8328e6e2ab">here</a> for
  all drive trains of the new BMW 7 Series from the start of production
  and can also be accessed in the My BMW app. In this way, the BMW Group
  creates transparency around the percentage of secondary materials and
  CO<sub>2</sub>e emissions throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle.</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Contact presse: Jeroen Lissens<br>Tél: +32-3-890-9708<br>Adresse e-mail: <a href="mailto:jeroen.lissens@bmw.be">jeroen.lissens@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,Sustainability,BMW i,i7,CO2 Emissions,G70 LCI,Product,BMW]]></category>

    <strong>New York/Munich.</strong> An international jury of 98
    motoring journalists has awarded the BMW iX3 (BMW iX3 50 xDrive:
    energy consumption, combined: 17.9–15.1 kWh/100 km (WLTP); CO₂
    emissions, combined: 0 g/km (WLTP); electric range: 678–805 km
    (WLTP); CO₂ class(es): A)* not one but two titles. The first Neue
    Klasse model was named the 2026 “World Car of the Year”, beating out
    competitors across all powertrain categories. In addition, the BMW
    iX3 won the 2026 “World Electric Vehicle” accolade. During extensive
    test drives, the model impressed the jury with its outstanding
    performance and driving dynamics, as well as its standout technology
    features. For the BMW Group, this marks the tenth and eleventh title
    wins at the prestigious World Car Awards. Earlier, on 26 February,
    Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, was
    named “World Car Person of the Year” for 2026.   <br />
    <br />The BMW iX3 is the first Neue Klasse model. It was presented
    at the IAA Mobility 2025. An instant success, it has established a
    new design language and set standards for driving dynamics and
    performance. A range of up to 805 kilometres, battery charging at up
    to 400 kW and an energy consumption of just 17.9–15.1 kWh/100 km
    (WLTP) demonstrate the outstanding abilities of the new BMW iX3. The
    new BMW Panoramic iDrive brings innovation to the interior. The
    high-performance control unit Heart of Joy and BMW Dynamic
    Performance Control take driving pleasure to an entirely new level.
    Plenty of compelling reasons for the expert jury at the World Car
    Awards to declare the BMW iX3 the 2026 “World Car of the Year” – and
    thus the standout new vehicle on the international automotive
    markets – following extensive test drives. On top of that, the model
    won the 2026 “World Electric Vehicle” title. The awards were
    announced at the 2026 New York International Auto Show (1–12 April 2026).<br />
    <br />The success of the BMW iX3 is based on the independent
    assessment of 98 journalists from 33 countries. They gave their
    detailed evaluations after test driving the various vehicles
    involved in the competition. The organisers of the World Car Awards
    collected and documented this data, which formed the basis for the
    final verdict. The BMW iX3 beat out 57 high-class contenders to take
    the “World Car of the Year” title. A total of 43 vehicles were in
    the running for the title of “World Electric Vehicle”.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Mike Reichelt, Head of Neue Klasse BMW,</strong> says: “We
    are happy with this fantastic accolade for the BMW iX3, the first
    representative of our Neue Klasse. The BMW iX3 marks the beginning
    of a new era at BMW – in terms of design language, range, charging
    capacity as well as driver assistance – and BMW Panoramic iDrive.
    Above all, the BMW iX3 represents the next generation of Sheer
    Driving Pleasure powered by the Heart of Joy. The innovations from
    the Neue Klasse will benefit our entire product portfolio.”</p>
  <p>
    <strong>The BMW iX3 represents the technological quantum leap of the
      Neue Klasse.</strong>
    <br />As the first Neue Klasse model, the BMW iX3 brings a new era
    of driving pleasure to the road. The completely new design language
    of the fully electric Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) makes for a
    distinctive appearance. The interior is defined by the new BMW
    Panoramic iDrive infotainment system. It is based on BMW Operating
    System X, which ensures excellent update and upgrade capability as
    well as context-sensitive, situationally aware control of all
    display and operating elements. The BMW Panoramic iDrive combines
    four key elements to form a unique display and operating system. The
    BMW Panoramic Vision is a newly developed information projection
    from A-pillar to A-pillar in the lower part of the windscreen with
    permanently visible, clearly structured information displays. It is
    complemented by the 17.9-inch, Free-Cut Design Central Display with
    high-resolution matrix backlight technology for intuitive touch
    control. The other two elements are the optional BMW 3D Head-Up
    Display and the multifunction steering wheel with Shy Tech controls.</p>
  <p>The BMW iX3 50 xDrive is powered by two electric motors that
    together deliver 345 kW/469 hp and 645 Nm of torque. It accelerates
    from zero to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and has a top speed of 210
    km/h. At the heart of the new electronics and software architecture
    are four superbrain high-performance computers. Each is assigned a
    core function in the BMW iX3. The Heart of Joy manages driving
    dynamics, with additional computers controlling automated driving
    and parking, infotainment and essential and comfort functions. These
    superbrains offer up to 20 times higher computing power compared to
    previous BMW models. The Heart of Joy and the BMW Dynamic
    Performance Control software developed in-house deliver a confident
    and precise driving experience, perfect traction, efficient
    recuperation and – thanks to precise control of the electric motors
    – the smoothest stopping process in BMW history.</p>
  <p>The sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology comprises a new drive
    with a fundamentally new high-voltage battery concept and 800-volt
    technology. It enables significantly longer ranges, faster charging
    at up to 400 kW and support for bidirectional charging functions.
    The high-voltage battery in the BMW iX3 50 xDrive now provides 108.7
    kWh of usable energy, enabling a range of up to 805 kilometres on
    the WLTP cycle. At a DC fast charger, energy for up to 372
    kilometres of range<sup>1</sup> can be added to the battery in 10 minutes.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Oliver Zipse named “World Car Person of the Year”.</strong></p>
  <p>The development of the Neue Klasse is inextricably linked to Oliver
    Zipse. As Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG from 2019,
    he guided the company through a period of profound changes and
    strategic transformation. This is when the groundwork was laid for
    the Neue Klasse models, marking the extraordinary transformation of
    the BMW brand. The jury explained: “Under his leadership, BMW has
    pursued a technology-open approach to electrification,
    digitalisation and sustainability, while maintaining a strong focus
    on brand identity and profitability. Zipse’s steady, engineering-led
    leadership has helped shape BMW’s direction in a rapidly evolving
    global automotive landscape.”</p>
  <p>
    <strong>The jury members provide more than 413 million readers with
      information about automobiles.</strong>
    <br />The World Car Awards are presented annually, based on the
    verdicts of an international jury. The awards were created in 2003
    to recognise outstanding innovations and new products from around
    the world. Over more than 20 years, they have firmly established
    themselves as a complement to national and regional awards. The jury
    members’ test results help more than 413 million readers worldwide
    with their purchasing decisions, making the award one of the most
    coveted accolades in the international automotive industry.</p>
  <p>Vehicles eligible for “World Car of the Year” must be produced in
    volumes of at least 10,000 units/year. They must also be priced
    below the luxury-car level in their primary markets. Models eligible
    for “World Electric Vehicle” must be produced in volumes of at least
    5,000 units/year. Another requirement is that a vehicle must have
    been on sale in at least two major markets – China, Europe, India,
    Japan, Korea, Latin America, USA – on at least two separate
    continents within the period 1 January 2025 to 30 March 2026. In
    addition to the “World Car of the Year” and “World Electric Vehicle”
    titles, this year’s event features awards in a further four categories.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Tenth and eleventh World Car Award wins for the BMW Group.</strong>
    <br />Prior to this year, the BMW Group had already won nine titles
    at the World Car Awards since the event was launched. The BMW 3
    Series win of the “World Car of the Year” award in 2006 was a
    particular highlight. The two titles won by the Bavarian premium
    carmaker in 2026 see the new BMW iX3 add to the <a href="https://newsroom.bmwgroup.com/global/en">latest
      string of awards won by BMW models</a>. Other recent events where
    the first Neue Klasse model scored successes were the “Best Cars”
    awards of German “auto motor und sport” magazine and the “Car of the
    Year Awards 2026” of British “What Car?” magazine. In addition, the
    BMW iX3 was named “Car of the Year” in several other countries and
    received the “Golden Steering Wheel” award for “Best Innovation”
    from “Auto Bild” and “Bild am Sonntag,” both published by Axel
    Springer Verlag (Germany).</p></div>

  <strong>BMW présente la BMW iX3 40 – la deuxième variante de système
    de transmission du Sports Activity Vehicle entièrement électrique de
    la Neue Klasse. Il est équipé d’un moteur électrique de 235 kW/320
    ch et dispose d’une propulsion arrière. Cette nouvelle variante de
    modèle partage à la fois son style caractéristique et ses
    innovations technologiques remarquables avec la BMW iX3 50 xDrive,
    déjà dévoilée. Elle sera disponible en Europe à partir de l’été 2026.</strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>//</strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Munich.</strong> Quelques semaines seulement après le
  lancement commercial du nouveau BMW iX3 en Allemagne, la deuxième
  variante de système de transmission du modèle fait sa première
  apparition. La nouvelle BMW iX3 40 (consommation électrique combinée :
  14,6 kWh/100 km ; classe CO₂ : A ; autonomie électrique : jusqu’à 635
  km (395 km) ; selon WLTP)¹ rejoint la gamme en tant que modèle
  d’entrée de gamme.</p>
<p>La nouvelle BMW iX3 40 est dotée de la toute nouvelle technologie BMW
  eDrive de sixième génération (Gen6), spécialement développée pour la
  Neue Klasse, qui représente un bond technologique majeur. Tous les
  composants sont conçus pour une technologie 800V. Un moteur synchrone
  à excitation électrique (EESM) particulièrement efficace est intégré à
  l’essieu arrière et entraîne les roues arrière. Le moteur électrique
  développe 235 kW/320 ch¹ et un couple de 500 Nm (369 lb-pi)¹. La
  nouvelle BMW iX3 40 accélère de 0 à 100 km/h en 5,9 secondes¹ et
  atteint une vitesse maximale de 200 km/h¹.</p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Temps de charge courts et autonomie maximale jusqu’à 635 km</strong></p>
<p>La batterie haute tension de la nouvelle BMW iX3 40 a une capacité
  énergétique utile de 82,6 kWh¹. Ses cellules cylindriques lithium-ion
  ont une densité énergétique supérieure de 20 % par rapport aux
  cellules prismatiques utilisées pour la génération 5 et sont intégrées
  directement dans la batterie haute tension selon l’approche
  cell-to-pack. La construction pack-to-open-body transforme la batterie
  en un composant structurel du véhicule. Cela réduit la quantité de
  matériau nécessaire et permet de diminuer le poids.</p>
<p>La nouvelle BMW iX3 40 offre une autonomie allant jusqu’à 635 km
  selon WLTP¹. Sa puissance maximale de charge est de 300 kW¹.
  Lorsqu’elle est branchée à une station de recharge rapide à courant
  continu (DC) 800V, la nouvelle BMW iX3 40 peut être rechargée en
  seulement 10 minutes avec suffisamment d’énergie pour ajouter jusqu’à
  300 kilomètres¹ à son autonomie. La batterie haute tension peut être
  chargée de 10 à 80 % de sa capacité en seulement 21 minutes via une
  station de recharge DC. La nouvelle variante iX3 peut se recharger en
  courant alternatif (AC) jusqu’à une puissance maximale de 11 kW en
  équipement standard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Recharge AC jusqu’à 22 kW en option</strong></p>
<p>La recharge en courant alternatif (AC) jusqu’à 22 kW est disponible
  en option. Cela permet de charger la batterie haute tension de 0 à 100
  % en 4 heures et 15 minutes¹. De plus, plusieurs fonctions de recharge
  bidirectionnelle sont disponibles pour la nouvelle BMW iX3 40. Elles
  transforment la voiture en une powerbank mobile lors des déplacements
  et en un dispositif de stockage d’énergie flexible à domicile.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Une nouvelle langue de design inimitable</strong></p>
<p>À l’instar de la BMW iX3 50 xDrive (consommation d’énergie combinée :
  17,9 – 15,1 kWh/100 km (WLTP) ; émissions de CO₂ combinées : 0 g/km
  (WLTP) ; autonomie électrique : 678 – 805 km / 421 – 500 miles (WLTP)
  ; classe CO₂ : A), le nouveau modèle d’entrée de gamme affiche
  également le design extérieur épuré, réduit et inimitable de la Neue
  Klasse. Cela comprend la face avant réinterprétée à quatre phares
  comme signature, ainsi qu’un traitement moderne des surfaces, des
  lignes précises et de grandes surfaces vitrées.</p>
<p>L’intérieur de la nouvelle BMW iX3 40 est conçu comme un espace
  accueillant et poursuit la toute nouvelle langue de design de la
  marque BMW. Le système révolutionnaire d’affichage et de commande BMW
  Panoramic iDrive avec le nouveau BMW Operating System X assure une
  orientation complète du conducteur et redéfinit l’expérience utilisateur.</p>
<p>Comme pour son design extérieur et intérieur, la finition de série de
  la nouvelle BMW iX3 40 est identique à celle de la BMW iX3 50 xDrive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant désormais avec Amazon Alexa+²</strong></p>
<p>La logique de commande multimodale de BMW Panoramic iDrive combine
  interaction tactile, haptique et vocale. Le BMW Intelligent Personal
  Assistant joue un rôle central dans le concept de commande de la
  nouvelle BMW iX3. En 2022, le BMW Group a décidé de renforcer sa
  collaboration avec Amazon.</p>
<p>Le BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant aide à commander les vitres, la
  climatisation et le confort des sièges, à gérer les appels
  téléphoniques, à contrôler le divertissement embarqué, et bien plus
  encore. Il peut également être utilisé pour accéder à de nombreux
  menus fonctionnels et piloter certaines applications. La mise à niveau
  du BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant pour intégrer la technologie
  d’IA Amazon Alexa+² offre des fonctionnalités supplémentaires.</p>
<p>L’intégration d’Amazon Alexa+² dans le BMW Intelligent Personal
  Assistant représente un saut technologique majeur qui place la valeur
  ajoutée pour les clients au premier plan. La technologie IA utilisée
  est un Large Language Model (LLM) – une IA générative qui comprend la
  langue et est capable de formuler ses propres réponses. Cela permet
  des interactions vocales plus naturelles ; favorise des échanges
  intuitifs et intelligents ; et prend en charge l’accès à des bases de
  connaissances externes, des services cloud et des contenus médias
  ainsi que la commande des fonctions du véhicule.</p>
<p>La connexion à un compte Amazon permet une intégration fluide des
  services pertinents et étend le champ d’utilisation bien au-delà de la
  simple commande du véhicule. La disponibilité sera progressivement
  étendue, à commencer par l’Allemagne.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Nouveaux niveaux de dynamisme et le freinage le plus fluide
    jamais réalisé par BMW</strong></p>
<p>La technologie Neue Klasse élève également le plaisir de conduite à
  un tout autre niveau dans la nouvelle BMW iX3 40. Cela repose sur la
  nouvelle architecture électronique et logicielle. Quatre «
  supercalculateurs » offrent aux clients une expérience de conduite de
  premier ordre. Ces ordinateurs haute performance fournissent plus de
  20 fois la puissance de calcul des modèles précédents.</p>
<p>L’ordinateur de commande Heart of Joy avec logiciel BMW Dynamic
  Performance Control, développé entièrement en interne, réagit dix fois
  plus vite que les systèmes précédents. Le Heart of Joy contribue ainsi
  à un pilotage extrêmement facile, agile et sûr, tout en établissant de
  nouvelles normes dynamiques. Une autre étape majeure est la fonction
  Soft Stop. Grâce au contrôle précis du moteur électrique, la nouvelle
  BMW iX3 40 freine presque imperceptiblement jusqu’à l’arrêt, sans
  à-coups ni bruit de freinage. Elle offre ainsi le processus de
  freinage le plus fluide de toute l’histoire de la marque BMW.</p>

<div>
  <p>As the second model in the Neue Klasse, it represents a
    technological quantum leap into a new era. The first all-electric
    BMW 3 Series launches as the BMW i3 50 xDrive, which has an electric
    motor on both the front and rear axles. The combined system power
    output is 345 kW/469 hp<sup>1</sup>, the maximum torque is 645
    Nm.<sup>1</sup> The highly efficient sixth-generation BMW eDrive
    technology, together with the new BMW Panoramic iDrive and Heart of
    Joy, delivers driving pleasure on a level never experienced before.
    With BMW Symbiotic Drive, the assisted driving experience is also
    entering a new era. The BMW i3 also stands for a modern
    interpretation of the hallmark design features of a BMW Sedan.</p>
  <p>As a representative of the new design language, the new BMW i3 is
    immediately recognisable as a BMW 3 Series – assured, dynamic and
    intelligent. The hallmark BMW sporty silhouette proportions are
    reflected in the new 2.5-box design. Notable features are the long
    wheelbase, the greenhouse that slopes towards the rear and the short
    overhangs. The four-eyed face is familiar, yet still new. The BMW
    radiator grille and twin headlights merge into an innovative light
    signature, creating a powerful and expressive unit. The rear end,
    featuring prominently horizontal rear lights, further highlights
    precision and technological progress. The prominently flared wheel
    arches emphasise the sporty, wide stance of the new BMW i3. The
    interior offers a high level of spaciousness and makes full use of
    all the possibilities of the vehicle concept, which is consistently
    geared towards electromobility. At the same time, the interior
    represents driver-oriented sportiness. The new BMW Panoramic iDrive
    not only defines the modern and inviting interior, but also ushers
    in a new level of hallmark BMW driver orientation.</p>
  <p>Sportiness and driving pleasure are invariably embedded in the DNA
    of the BMW 3 Series. The new BMW i3 sets new standards. Maximising
    the unmatched capabilities of electromobility, it offers
    impressively precise, effortless, and assured handling. The Heart of
    Joy high-performance computer shapes the BMW i3 driving experience.
    Its responses are ten times faster than in previous systems.
    Together with three other superbrain high-performance computers, the
    Heart of Joy forms the centrepiece of the new software and
    electronics architecture.</p>
  <p>The new BMW i3 stands out for its excellent suitability for long
    journeys. Its range is up to 900 kilometres<sup>1</sup> (in
    accordance with the WLTP test cycle). DC charging capacities of up
    to 400 kW also drastically reduce charging times. The DC fast
    charger can recharge energy for up to 400 km<sup>1</sup> in 10
    minutes (in accordance with ISO 12906 in the WLTP cycle).
    Sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology provides the prerequisites
    for this rapid progress. It comprises highly efficient electric
    motors, 800-volt technology and new high-voltage batteries with new
    round cells. The cell-to-pack design used enables high energy
    densities at pack level and a flatter high-voltage battery. The BMW
    i3 also features the bidirectional charging functions
    Vehicle-to-Load (optional AC charging Professional required),
    Vehicle-to-Home and Vehicle-to-Grid charging functions.</p>
  <p>The BMW i3 is manufactured at the BMW Group plant in Munich, which
    is the home plant of the BMW Group. For more than a hundred years,
    the plant in Milbertshofen, in the north of Munich, has been
    producing premium vehicles. Over the last four years, the plant has
    seen significant modernisation: Alongside a new body shop, a
    cutting-edge vehicle assembly area incorporating logistics space has
    been constructed. The new buildings are in their final stages of
    expansion. Production of the new BMW i3 will start in these halls
    from August 2026. The first vehicles will be delivered from autumn
    this year. One year later, the production portfolio will be switched
    to exclusively fully electric vehicles of the Neue Klasse. The plant
    conversion includes a large number of modernisation measures.</p>

  <strong>Munich/Arjeplog. </strong>The BMW 3 Series has been the
  embodiment of driving pleasure in the premium midsize class for five
  decades. All over the world, this icon of the BMW brand is renowned
  for its superior sportiness, precise handling and effortless agility,
  combined with long-distance driving comfort. As the latest generation
  BMW 3 Series is getting ready for launch, so is the first sedan model
  of the Neue Klasse: the fully electric BMW i3. Prototypes are
  currently undergoing a comprehensive test programme at the BMW Group
  winter test centre in Arjeplog, Sweden.</p>
<p>The BMW i3 will have its design premiere on 18 March 2026. The new
  fully electric model generation features a sixth-generation eDrive
  (Gen6). “The BMW i3 applies the sporty sedan’s typical characteristics
  to a completely new vehicle concept defined by the BMW 3 Series DNA.
  At the same time, pushing the conventional boundaries of electric
  mobility into new territory, thanks to the potential of our Neue
  Klasse,” says Mike Reichelt, Head of Neue Klasse BMW. The control unit
  consisting of the “superbrain” Heart of Joy and the BMW Dynamic
  Performance Control driving stack takes driving dynamics to an
  entirely new level. As the BMW i3 approaches series-production
  readiness, the test and development team is performing the final
  fine-tuning of driving dynamics components on the snow-covered roads
  and frozen lakes of Sweden.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Test drives for fine-tuning in extremely cold weather are a
    key part of vehicle testing.</strong> <br />Endurance tests in
  freezing temperatures and wintry road conditions in Sweden’s extreme
  north are a long-standing BMW tradition. The snow-covered roads around
  Arjeplog and the specially prepared surfaces of frozen lakes provide
  the ideal environment for evaluating and fine-tuning drive and
  suspension systems Electronic control systems are a good example – the
  low friction coefficients of surfaces covered by snow and ice enable
  engineers to test, analyse and optimise the interactions of these
  systems under precisely reproducible conditions. This provides the
  foundation of the hallmark BMW driving pleasure. </p>
<p>
  <strong>Highly innovative overall concept is key to an outstanding
    driving experience.</strong>
  <br />The Heart of Joy is one of four “superbrains” in the Neue
  Klasse. Complemented by the BMW Dynamic Performance Control software
  developed in-house, it forms the powerful new driving and dynamics
  control unit in the BMW i3, controlling the powertrain, brakes and
  some steering functions along with recuperation. Its responses are ten
  times faster than with previous systems. The result of this
  technological quantum leap is evident in the particularly effortless
  and exceptionally precise handling of the new BMW i3.</p>
<p>Even on slippery surfaces like those in Arjeplog, the Heart of Joy
  ensures agile propulsion. In addition, the extremely fast control of
  the two electric motors ensures superior driving stability. Only
  electric motors are capable of processing and executing the
  lightning-fast commands. This enables the BMW i3 to deliver a
  light-footed and comfortable drive in every situation. And with
  typical BMW 3 Series characteristics, it sets new standards in driving dynamics.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Even at the limits, the BMW i3 offers an extremely safe
    driving experience. <br /></strong>The new BMW i3 can be controlled
  with maximum precision. It responds instantly to steering inputs and
  creates a feeling of effortlessness. The Heart of Joy reduces the
  number of control interventions required – for example by the DSC
  system. The resulting cornering behaviour is more consistent and
  reproducible, giving the driver an even greater sense of assurance. In
  addition, the BMW i3 remains easy to control even when approaching the
  limits. The Soft-Stop function of the new BMW i3 is exceptional:
  precise control of the electric motors enables the smoothest stopping
  process in the history of the BMW 3 Series, without jerks and brake
  noise. The exceptional stability that the Heart of Joy provides, even
  on slippery surfaces like those found in Arjeplog, also improves
  efficiency. The precise control processes of the Heart of Joy allow
  the BMW i3 to recuperate energy as often and as intensely as possible,
  even when cornering, without compromising driving stability. “Sheer
  driving pleasure” redefined. </p>

<p>
  <strong>Munich/Heilbronn, 5 February 2026. </strong>The BMW Group and
  PreZero, the international circular economy company that forms parts
  of the Schwarz Group, are taking an important step towards a future
  based on circular principles. At the IPAI (Innovation Park Artificial
  Intelligence) campus in Heilbronn, Germany, the two companies signed a
  strategic cooperation agreement to substantially advance the circular
  economy across the European automotive industry. The aim of the
  collaboration is to develop a business model for the recycling of
  end-of-life vehicles, creating a closed loop for both materials and recycling.</p>
<p>
  <strong>From end-of-life vehicle to a source of materials</strong></p>
<p>The cooperation between the BMW Group and PreZero seeks to harness
  the strategic and economic potential of the circular economy for
  recycling end-of-life vehicles, while simultaneously tackling the
  automotive industry’s current challenges. Going forward, the goal is
  to reduce dependence on raw materials and make supply chains more
  resilient. This is precisely where the joint initiative comes in: Its
  objective is to develop a viable business model for an innovative
  materials and recycling loop, systematically using end-of-life
  vehicles as a strategic source of materials. Initially, a vehicle’s
  components will be kept in the loop for as long as possible through
  continued use. As a next step, innovative recycling processes will
  recover more high-quality recycled materials and raw materials. The
  new approach is also expected to significantly reduce the need for
  primary raw materials.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Establishing the circular economy as a business model</strong></p>
<p>The partnership with PreZero is integral to the BMW Group’s corporate
  and decarbonisation strategy. Ralf Hattler, Senior Vice President
  Customer Support and Aftersales BMW Group, summarises the importance
  of the cooperation as follows: "The collaboration with PreZero is
  another milestone on the road to establishing the circular economy as
  a genuine business model. For the BMW Group, circularity is already a
  central element of our corporate strategy and a key driver of CO2
  reduction and resource efficiency. Together with PreZero, we are
  creating the conditions needed to design a vehicle’s entire value
  chain in a way that keeps materials and components of the highest
  quality in the loop for as long as possible. Our goal is to
  significantly reduce the need for primary materials and make supply
  chains more resilient.”</p>
<p>For PreZero, the cooperation is a logical step towards combining
  environmental responsibility with economic success.Carsten Dülfer, CEO
  of PreZero in Germany, underlines the significance for the market:
  “After acquiring Europe’s largest battery recycling facility last
  year, we are now taking the next step with the BMW Group towards
  establishing a functional circular economy in the automotive industry.
  Together, we are developing scalable solutions that not only meet
  strict compliance and sustainability requirements but also drive the
  decarbonisation of the industry across Europe. In this way, we are
  closing the gap between automotive development and the realities of recycling.”</p>
<p>
  <strong>Foundation for collaboration</strong></p>
<p>The cooperation is rooted in the development of a business model that
  will ensure comprehensive recycling of end-of-life vehicles. Within
  the framework of the collaboration, innovative and efficient recycling
  processes for end-of-life vehicles will be jointly tested and brought
  to series maturity, while new approaches to material flow management
  will also be developed.</p>
<p>A core element will be knowledge transfer: From the assembly line to
  the recycling pipeline, the BMW Group will contribute its “design for
  recycling” know-how and insights gained from the recycling of
  end-of-life vehicles at its in-house Recycling and Dismantling Centre
  (RDC), as well as materials and manufacturing expertise. PreZero will
  share its expert knowledge of European material flows and sorting
  technologies. The company will also draw on its extensive expertise as
  one of Europe’s leading battery recyclers. At the same time, the
  cooperation will strengthen the resilience and competitiveness of the
  automotive industry. The aim is to first reuse components and then
  recycle recoverable materials such as steel, aluminium, plastics and
  battery raw materials. The cooperation is also fully aligned with the
  European Union’s circular economy strategy and its efforts to enhance resilience.</p>

  <p>
    <strong>Munich.</strong> BMW Group Plant Munich is entering the next
    phase, as the plant launches production of the first near-series
    test vehicles for the new BMW i3*. This marks the beginning of the
    final preparation phase for the start of series production in the
    second half of 2026.</p>
  <p>“Production of pre-series vehicles is an important milestone for
    our plant,” says Peter Weber, Head of BMW Group Plant Munich. “For
    the first time, we have built a BMW i3 entirely at our plant – using
    state-of-the-art manufacturing technology and digitally connected
    processes. With production now close to series maturity, our
    logistics and production processes are performing under real-world
    conditions across all technologies: in our modernised press shop,
    the new body shop, the state-of-the-art paint shop and the new
    assembly area, as well as the innovative logistics structures. Over
    the coming months, we will apply the lessons learned from the
    ramp-up to further refine the processes for series production and
    ensure a smooth series launch.”</p>
  <p>
    <strong>On the road to series production</strong></p>
  <p>Integration of new models begins with pre-series vehicles – a
    crucial step in gearing up for future series production.</p>
  <p>What makes Plant Munich unique is that a team from the facility has
    so far worked alongside a team from the nearby pilot plant to
    assemble the first vehicles at the Research and Innovation Centre.
    With the completion of Plant Munich’s new manufacturing and
    logistics areas, vehicles now pass through all production steps on
    site. This means that all logistics processes, manufacturing
    equipment and operations must already run smoothly. Although
    quantities are still small, all parts are supplied via the
    designated material flows and processed on the production line.
    Every part and every production step is closely scrutinised. A
    particular focus is on the approval inspection for cutting-edge
    production equipment and tools, and on how these are digitally
    integrated with existing systems.</p>
  <p>Running system tests for the future vehicle model helps identify
    further potential for optimisation. In the coming months, efforts
    will be directed towards refining processes, based on the insights gained.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Employee training – first virtually, then in the real world</strong></p>
  <p>During this phase, employees will also undergo intensive training:
    until recently, using augmented reality and now, on the new
    installations and machinery. Close cooperation across all areas of
    production will ensure operations are seamlessly integrated for a
    smooth and successful series launch.</p></div>
<h4>CO2 EMISSIONS & CONSUMPTION.</h4>
<div>
  <p>* Since this is a pre-production model, fuel consumption data for
    the new BMW i3 will not be released at this time.</p></div><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Contact presse: Fanny De Leenheer<br>Tél: 038905175<br>Adresse e-mail: <a href="mailto:fanny.de-leenheer@partner.bmw.be">fanny.de-leenheer@partner.bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,BMW]]></category>

      <strong>Munich.</strong> Advances in electric drive technology and
      additional standard and optional equipment are enhancing the
      appeal of the current BMW model range in spring 2026. The BMW iX1
      and BMW iX2 all-electric models will come with new power
      electronics, for lower consumption and a longer range. The BMW 1
      Series and BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé will have 2-zone automatic air
      conditioning as standard. In addition, all BMW models will feature
      the new BMW emblem on the bonnet. </p>
    <p>
      <strong>Longer ranges for BMW iX1 and BMW iX2.</strong></p>
    <p>The BMW iX1 eDrive20 and the BMW iX1 xDrive30 will in future come
      with silicon-carbide semiconductor components in their power
      electronics (SiC inverter). This enables greater efficiency,
      reduces consumption on the combined WLTP cycle and increases the
      vehicles’ range by a good 40 kilometres. Other models to include
      this technology from spring 2026 are the BMW iX2 eDrive20 and the
      BMW iX2 xDrive30 with similar effects on consumption and range. As
      of spring 2026 and based on the WLTP test cycle, the BMW iX1
      <br />will have a maximum range of 514 kilometers and the BMW iX2
      of <br />up to 512 kilometers.</p>

      <strong>BMW iX3 option for faster AC charging, plus new colours.</strong>
      <br />The BMW iX3 will in future offer the AC charging
      Professional option. This supports AC charging at up to 22 kW and
      also includes the Vehicle-to-Load function. The vehicle can then
      be used as a mobile power bank and supply external electrical
      devices with up to 3.7 kW of power.</p>
    <p>And there will be three new, attractive exterior colour options
      for the BMW iX3 from spring 2026: Eucalyptus Green metallic, BMW
      Individual Frozen Space Silver metallic and Fire Red metallic. A
      new option available in combination with the BMW Contemporary
      Digital White Bicolour interior is the BMW Individual steering
      wheel in Digital White. Moreover, from March, the Contemporary,
      BMW M and BMW Individual interior designs will include a stainless
      steel loading sill. In conjunction with the M Sport Package and M
      Sport Package Pro, the BMW iX3 will include a vehicle key with M stripes.</p>
    <p>
      <strong>BMW M revises drive technology – readying the BMW M5 and
        BMW XM Label high-performance models for the Euro 7 emissions standard.</strong>
      <br />From 2027, new emissions and exhaust regulations will come
      into force in the EU. These will require comprehensive technical
      upgrades, especially for high-performance vehicles like the BMW M5
      and BMW XM. BMW M is responding to these requirements at an early
      stage, introducing optimised drive technology for the BMW M5 from
      March 2026 and for the BMW XM Label from April 2026. This applies
      to all EU countries as well as countries outside the EU that
      follow EU directives on emissions compliance.</p>
    <p>The technical advances are focused on the M Hybrid system’s
      internal combustion engine. Key elements include optimised engine
      control, improved exhaust re-treatment and introduction of the
      Miller combustion process, which makes for increased efficiency
      and reduces emissions. The output of the V8 engine in the BMW M5
      is adjusted from the previous 430 kW/585 hp to 400 kW/544 hp. The
      electric drive remains unchanged, but now comes with optimised
      software. The perfect interplay of the two powertrain elements
      ensures that the system output of the BMW M5 remains unchanged at
      535 kW/727 hp.This makes for continued dynamic performance at the
      highest level.</p>
    <p>The 4.4-litre V8 unit in the BMW XM Label will also benefit from
      the Miller combustion process. With its system output unchanged at
      550 kW/748 hp, the BMW XM Label remains the most powerful BMW M
      production model. By taking this action, BMW M ensures that its
      customers have consistent access to state-of-the-art
      high-performance vehicles that meet future environmental
      requirements with innovative technology, even under volatile
      regulatory conditions. Without compromising on the characteristic
      BMW M performance.</p>
    <p>
      <strong>2-zone automatic air conditioning for BMW 1 Series and BMW
        2 Series Gran Coupé.</strong>
      <br />The BMW 1 Series and BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé will come with
      2-zone automatic air conditioning as standard from spring 2026.
      Moreover, the BMW Individual Tanzanite Blue metallic exterior
      colour will in future be available for both models in conjunction
      with the optional roof in Black. The BMW 1 Series with optional M
      Sport package as well as the BMW M135 xDrive can now be ordered
      with the additional Cape York Green metallic exterior colour.</p>
    <p>
      <strong>Supremely sporty looks: BMW 4 Series with M Carbon mirror caps.</strong>
      <br />When ordered with the optional M Sport package, the BMW 4
      Series Coupé, BMW 4 Series Convertible and BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé
      can in future be fitted with optional M Carbon mirror caps. This
      offer does not apply to the BMW 4 Series M Performance models,
      where specific mirror caps are available as part of the M Carbon package. </p>
    <p>
      <strong>Help when it is needed: Tyre repair kit Plus.</strong>
      <br />From spring 2026, the tyre repair kit Plus will come as
      standard for various BMW models. It makes for particularly quick
      and reliable help in the event of a puncture. It will now be added
      to the BMW 1 Series, BMW 2 Series Active Tourer plug-in hybrid and
      the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé.</p>
    <p>
      <strong>New BMW emblem: Hallmark of the BMW models.</strong>
      <br />From February 2026, the bonnets of all BMW models will
      feature the new BMW emblem. This will coincide with the changeover
      to the new M logo. </p>

<p>
  <strong>Munich. </strong>Last year, the BMW Group once again produced
  more than one million vehicles at its German plants. This means that
  one in four vehicles built in Germany comes from a BMW Group plant.
  According to the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA),
  a total of 4.15 million vehicles were manufactured in Germany during
  the same period.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Our plants provide impressive proof of how competitive German
  industry is. Producing more than one million vehicles in 2025 is a
  strong testament to Germany’s innovative strength. To achieve this, we
  are systematically leveraging innovation and digitalisation. Going
  forward, policymakers must ensure competitive framework conditions for
  Germany as an industrial location,” explains Milan Nedeljković, member
  of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Production.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The German automotive industry possesses unique expertise, extensive
  knowledge and a passionate car culture that few locations worldwide
  can match. The BMW Group vehicle plants in Dingolfing, Leipzig, Munich
  and Regensburg represent strong pillars of the company’s international
  production network. The foundation for this is a clear strategic
  direction aligned with the BMW iFACTORY, with streamlined structures,
  efficient processes and maximum flexibility at all plants. The
  BMW iFACTORY offers a vision for manufacturing across all locations in
  the global production network.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At all German plants, vehicles with internal combustion engines,
  plug-in hybrids and fully-electric drive trains are produced on a
  single line. With this flexible structure, BMW Group production can
  respond in an agile manner to fluctuations in demand and changing
  market conditions. It is therefore an important pillar supporting the
  company’s cross-functional resilience and a key competitive advantage
  in a dynamically evolving industry.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Vehicles from the German plants are primarily destined for the
  European market, in line with the principle of globally distributed
  value added. In the Americas and China, production volumes also
  roughly correspond to the number of vehicles sold in those regions.</p>

    <strong>Munich.</strong> 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.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant expanded with Amazon
    Alexa+.<br /></strong>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 <strong>AI-powered BMW
      Intelligent Personal Assistant</strong>. 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.</p>
  <p>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. (LINK TO FULL RELEASE)</p>
  <p>
    <strong>BMW iX3 transforms waiting time into entertainment: stream a
      movie, play a video game or make a video call.<sup>[1]</sup>
      <br /></strong>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 <strong>Disney+</strong>, customers in the
    BMW iX3 have access to the <strong>Video App</strong> (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.</p>
  <p>The <strong>BMW ConnectedDrive Store</strong> will also soon
    include the <strong>YouTube Music</strong> app for the first time,
    joining the <strong>more than 85 apps worldwide in categories such
      as Music & Audio, Entertainment, Gaming, News, Travel &
    Local</strong>. 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. <strong>Zoom </strong>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.</p>
  <p>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<sup>®️</sup> Car
    Party!<br />A new highlight in AirConsole’s extensive game library
      is <strong>Hot Wheels: Xtreme Overdrive™️ </strong>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.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology: higher efficiency,
      more range, faster charging.</strong>
    <br />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.</p>
  <p>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.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>BMW Charging: short charging times, premiere for
      bidirectional charging.<br /></strong>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) <sup>[2]</sup> 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 <sup>[3]</sup> as an option.</p>
  <p>Extensive bidirectional charging functions <sup>[3]</sup> 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.</p>
  <p>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.</p>
  <p>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.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Heart of Joy: The Ultimate Driving Machine reaches a new level.</strong>
    <br />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.</p>
  <p>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.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>“Superbrain of automated driving” for the driver assistance
      systems with of the next technology
    generation.<br /></strong>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.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>BMW Symbiotic Drive provides seamless
    support.<br /></strong>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.</p>
  <p>With the optional BMW Highway / Motorway Assistant <sup>[4]</sup>,
    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.</p>
  <p>The new Highway and City Assistant <sup>[4]</sup> 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.</p>

  <strong>Munich.</strong> BMW Group Plant Munich is ready for the
  production of the next vehicle generation. The manufacturing equipment
  has been installed in the new body shop and assembly line, and
  functional checks have been successfully completed. During this
  so-called "Common Function Test," every system undergoes dry
  runs, in which production planners and plant technicians put the
  machinery through its paces. All production steps are executed without
  any parts in the system. Cycle by cycle, an invisible vehicle takes
  shape. Although no actual car is produced, this process provides the
  certainty that everything operates seamlessly and as planned.</p>
<p>Peter Weber, head of BMW Group Plant Munich, is delighted: “Just in
  time for the holidays, we have reached an important milestone: All
  manufacturing technologies and equipment are ready to go, and we are
  already training our associates for production of the BMW i3. We are
  taking major strides towards production of first pre-series vehicles,
  which will then come completely from our plant.”</p>
<p>However, plant employees will have to remain patient a little longer
  until then. BMW i3 assembly, which has so far been carried out at the
  nearby Research and Innovation Centre, will be relocating to Plant
  Munich in January. With this move, all technologies at Plant Munich
  are then in place to continue rigorous testing of the complete
  production system. Series production of the new BMW i3 will then ramp
  up in summer 2026.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Typical iFACTORY: digitally planned and tested</strong></p>
<p>Plant Munich is consistently aligned with the guiding principles of
  the BMW iFACTORY. Both the new body shop and new assembly line were
  digitally planned and built from the outset. Existing installations in
  the press shop and paint shop are also integrated into the BMW Group’s
  Virtual Factory. This made it possible to conduct functional testing
  of all technologies for the new vehicle generation virtually and well
  in advance.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Extensive remodelling completed in just 18 months</strong></p>
<p>In just 18 months, about a third of the plant grounds has undergone
  extensive remodelling. Old halls were dismantled, and a new assembly,
  logistics centre and body shop were built – all while still
  manufacturing up to 1,000 BMW 3 Series and 4 Series vehicles per day.
  Series production of the new BMW i3 is scheduled to begin in the
  second half of 2026.</p>

Ces chiffres du leader du marché belge BMW illustrent l’électrification rapide du parc automobile belge portée par le marché professionnel.+++]]></pp:summary><description><![CDATA[<div class="imported-article"><p>
  <strong>Bornem.</strong> L’électrification continue de progresser. Si
  l'on examine les commandes reçues au cours de l'année écoulée,
  celles-ci ont atteint pour la première fois 55 % chez BMW en 2025, ce
  qui préfigure favorablement les immatriculations pour les mois à
  venir. BMW Belux prévoit une augmentation des commandes électriques à
  environ 60 % pour 2026, portée par l’accueil enthousiaste du BMW iX3
  électrique, premier modèle de la Neue Klasse, qui inaugure une
  nouvelle ère de mobilité électrique numérique et connectée.</p>
<p>Il est également à noter que les clients du leader du marché BMW
  passent de plus en plus directement à la mobilité entièrement
  électrique, sans passer par l’étape hybride. Alors que les hybrides
  rechargeables représentaient encore plus d’un tiers des commandes en
  2023, ce pourcentage est tombé à 13 % en 2025. La part des véhicules
  essence et diesel est restée stable autour d’un tiers des commandes
  ces trois dernières années, et cette tendance devrait également se
  poursuivre en 2026.</p>
<p>Alexander W. Wehr, CEO de BMW Group Belux, déclare : « La forte
  croissance des BMW électriques sur le marché belge reflète clairement
  notre ambition et la confiance de nos clients en une mobilité plus
  durable. Parallèlement, BMW Group reste fidèle au principe de
  ‘technology openness’. Nous ne croyons pas à une solution unique pour
  l’avenir de la mobilité, mais embrassons un large éventail de
  technologies de propulsion, des véhicules entièrement électriques aux
  hybrides, en passant par les modèles essence, diesel et même
  hydrogène. Cette approche polyvalente nous permet de répondre de
  manière flexible aux besoins divers de nos clients et aux différentes
  conditions du marché, tout en travaillant ensemble pour une mobilité
  durable et innovante pour tous. »</p>

Ces faits remarquables, parmi d'autres, ressortent de l'analyse des données de recharge anonymes cumulées des 77 274 BMW et MINI électriques qui circulent sur les routes belges.]]></pp:summary><description><![CDATA[<div class="imported-article"><p>
  <strong>Bornem.</strong> Il s'agit donc de voitures électriques qui
  ont été rechargées au moins une fois en Belgique au cours de l'année
  écoulée. Ensemble, elles ont représenté 9,7 millions de sessions de
  recharge. BMW est présent sur le marché des voitures électriques
  depuis 12 ans, mais l'âge médian du parc (à peine 1,83 an) montre que
  la transition à grande échelle vers la conduite électrique est encore
  récente. Le kilométrage médian de 24 000 kilomètres le confirme également.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Néanmoins, l'impact de la conduite électrique sur nos émissions
  locales est énorme : au total, les BMW et MINI électriques belges ont
  parcouru pas moins de 2,867 milliards de kilomètres. Par rapport à une
  voiture à moteur à combustion qui émet 150 grammes de CO2 par
  kilomètre via son pot d'échappement, cela représente une économie
  totale de plus de 430 000 tonnes de CO2 qui n'ont pas été émises sur
  les routes belges. Cela correspond à 0,5 % des émissions totales de
  CO2 de la Belgique en un an (2023).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Les Belges qui conduisent une BMW ou une MINI électrique n'attendent
  pas que leur batterie soit presque vide : en moyenne, seulement 2 %
  des sessions de recharge sont lancées lorsque la voiture a une
  autonomie inférieure à 30 kilomètres. La plupart des Belges branchent
  leur voiture lorsqu'il leur reste plus de 30 % de capacité de batterie.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enfin, il s'avère que les Belges sont des « rechargeurs du vendredi
  ». Avec 16,24 % de toutes les sessions de recharge lancées, le
  vendredi est le jour de la semaine le plus populaire où les Belges
  (avec le week-end en perspective) branchent leur voiture électrique.
  Les voitures électriques semblent également profiter du repos
  dominical car c'est le jour où les Belges rechargent le moins leur BMW
  ou leur MINI (11,92 % des sessions de recharge lancées).</p>

  <strong>Première belge de l’édition MINI x Paul Smith</strong></p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>Lorsque deux icônes britanniques légendaires unissent leurs forces,
  le résultat est une célébration de la créativité et du patrimoine.
  Paul Smith, connu pour ses designs emblématiques et son individualité
  vibrante, rencontre MINI, la marque intemporelle du design automobile
  britannique. Cette collaboration allie style et innovation automobile,
  complétant parfaitement l’héritage de chacun en matière de
  savoir-faire, de créativité et de réinvention. Ensemble, Paul Smith et
  MINI mettent en valeur le meilleur du style britannique, prouvant que
  lorsque deux légendes s’unissent, des choses extraordinaires peuvent
  se produire. Des teintes de carrosserie exclusives, des détails
  sophistiqués et inattendus transposent l’histoire partagée de MINI et
  Paul Smith dans le présent. Tous les modèles de cette édition sont
  équipés des jantes 18 pouces Night Flash Spoke bi ton. Les logos MINI,
  à l'avant et à l'arrière, sont proposés dans un design noir et bleu
  inédit qui se marie parfaitement avec la palette chromatique de Paul
  Smith et MINI. Sur la baguette noire horizontale à l'arrière, la
  signature de Paul Smith fait référence à l'esprit créatif qui a
  inspiré le design de la voiture. A découvrir dès le 9 janvier au Hall
  7 du Brussels Expo.</p>

Pour accélérer cette transition, l’entreprise d’audit continue d'investir massivement dans l'électrification de sa flotte avec une livraison record de 723 véhicules électriques et l'extension de son infrastructure de recharge. +++]]></pp:summary><description><![CDATA[<div class="imported-article"><p>
  <strong>Bornem</strong>. PwC Belgium ajoute 300 MINI Aceman et 423 BMW
  iX1 eDrive20 à sa flotte, rendant ainsi la conduite électrique
  accessible à un plus grand nombre d’ employés. « Notre ambition de
  devenir neutres en CO ₂ d'ici 2030 guide chacune de nos décisions »,
  déclare Patrick Boone, Président Directeur Général de PwC Belgium. «
  L'électrification de notre flotte est une étape importante dans la
  réduction des émissions, et nous nous engageons à rendre cette
  transition aussi transparente que possible pour nos employés ».</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pour accompagner cette évolution, la firme renforce également son
  réseau de recharge : « la recharge à domicile reste un défi, en
  particulier pour les jeunes collègues. C'est pourquoi nous installons
  270 nouvelles bornes de recharge au bureau, supprimant ainsi un
  obstacle majeur à la conduite électrique et garantissant des trajets
  domicile-travail sûrs, durables et pratiques», explique Patrick Boone,
  président de PwC Belgium. Cette installation porte le total à 475
  bornes dans tous les bureaux de PwC Belgium, facilitant la recharge au
  travail. Cette initiative s'inscrit dans la stratégie globale de
  développement durable de PwC Belgium, qui comprend également des
  investissements dans l'efficacité énergétique des bâtiments et
  l’utilisation d’énergies renouvelables.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Le partenariat solide avec le BMW Group Belux joue un rôle crucial
  dans cette démarche. BMW et PwC Belgium partagent une vision commune
  de mobilité durable. La livraison de véhicules électriques premium
  permet aux employés de se déplacer de manière responsable, tant au
  bureau que chez les clients. « En passant à une flotte entièrement
  électrique en 2028, nous affirmons notre engagement environnemental et
  réduisons activement notre empreinte carbone. Grâce à cette
  collaboration, nous offrons à nos employés des voitures de fonction
  sûres et durables pour leurs déplacements professionnels ».</p>
<p> </p>
<p>« Cette livraison de 723 véhicules électriques témoigne de notre
  engagement constant en faveur de solutions de mobilité durables et
  innovantes. Grâce à une collaboration étroite avec des partenaires
  visionnaires tels que PwC Belgium, nous allons au-delà de la livraison
  de véhicules; il s’agit de jouer un rôle actif et décisif dans la
  construction d’un avenir plus durable en rendant l’électromobilité
  plus attractive et accessible. Ce partenariat nous permet d’offrir un
  accompagnement personnalisé et continu ainsi qu’une gamme complète de
  services, allant d’options de financement flexibles à une assistance
  routière et un service après-vente dédié. Ensemble, ces éléments
  garantissent une expérience de mobilité électrique fluide et fiable,
  qui s’adapte en permanence aux besoins évolutifs de nos partenaires
  stratégiques », explique Alexander Wehr, CEO de BMW Group Belux.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pour Gabriel Goffoy, directeur général de MINI Belux, « MINI se
  positionne comme un pionnier avec un modèle parfaitement adapté aux
  besoins des entreprises. La MINI Aceman 5 portes, offrant jusqu'à 402
  km d'autonomie selon le cycle WLTP, incarne un crossover moderne,
  innovant et bien conçu. En tant que véhicule zéro émission, celui-ci
  répond aux exigences de la mobilité urbaine durable tout en
  constituant un choix stratégique pour les jeunes talents au sein des
  entreprises. Nous sommes fiers de renouveler une fois de plus la
  confiance de PwC Belgium dans cette collaboration importante ».</p>
<p> </p>
<p>En outre, un renouvellement majeur de la flotte est en cours, avec le
  remplacement de 499 véhicules diesel et hybrides par des modèles
  entièrement électriques. Cela porte la composition totale de la flotte
  de PwC Belgium à 90 % de véhicules électriques et/ou hybrides, dont 64
  % de véhicules entièrement électriques.  Cette décision stratégique
  souligne l'engagement de PwC Belgium en faveur du développement
  durable et de la réalisation de l'objectif zéro émission nette de
  l'entreprise d'ici 2028.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>En plus des voitures de fonction, les employés peuvent opter pour le
  budget mobilité légal depuis 2023, qui offre un large éventail de
  possibilités telles que la location de vélos, les transports publics
  et le remboursement des frais de prêt hypothécaire. Environ 23 % des
  employés de PwC Belgium choisissent de conduire une voiture plus
  petite, tandis que 12 % renoncent complètement à la voiture de
  fonction, ce qui reflète une préférence croissante pour les choix de
  mobilité durable.</p>

  DNA. The BMW Z4 is a prime example: truly exhilarating roadster fun.
  Since the start of the first model generation in 2002, this open-top
  sports car has been wowing customers with its unique combination of
  peerless design, a purist driving experience and sporty dynamics. The
  upcoming BMW Z4 Final Edition provides fans with a time-limited
  opportunity to order a very special version of this vehicle – one that
  may well become a collectors’ item. It comes with specific equipment
  elements that create individual highlights on the outside as well as
  in the interior. At the same time, the Final Edition represents this
  iconic two‑seater’s crowning glory. Production of the BMW Z4 will come
  to an end in March 2026.</p>
<p>Customers will have a short order window for the BMW Z4 Final
  Edition, beginning in late January 2026.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Distinctive looks for an unmistakeable personality.</strong></p>
<p>The distinguishing exterior feature of the BMW Z4 Final Edition is
  its exclusive Frozen Matt Black paint finish. This colour, which
  underlines the model’s individual and dynamic flair, is only available
  for the Final Edition of the BMW Z4. It looks particularly impressive
  when combined with the M High-gloss Shadowline exterior trim, which is
  part of all Final Edition models. In addition to Frozen Matt Black,
  customers can select other colours from the BMW Z4 range, at no extra
  cost. The M Sport brake in High-gloss Red is also included with the
  BMW Z4 Final Edition. It impresses with particularly effective
  deceleration and attractive looks.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Red accents in the interior.</strong></p>
<p>The distinctive contrasting red seams selected especially for the
  Final Edition provide a literal common thread which, in this case,
  ties together the instrument panel, centre console, door trims and M
  Sport seats in Vernasca</p>
<p>Leather/Alcantara. Another attractive eye-catcher is the M Alcantara
  steering wheel with contrasting seams to match. It accentuates the
  sporty character of the BMW Z4 Final Edition to perfection, while
  specially engraved door sill strips enhance its exclusivity.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Available for all models.</strong></p>
<p>The Final Edition is available for the 145 kW/197 hp BMW Z4 sDrive20i
  (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.4–7.3 litres/100 km;
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions: 166–164 g/km, CO<sub>2</sub> class F)* as
  well as the BMW Z4 sDrive30i delivering 190 kW/258 hp of power (WLTP
  combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.4 litres/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub>
  emissions: 167 g/km, CO<sub>2</sub> class F)*. The Edition also
  extends to the range-topping BMW Z4 M40i (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel
  consumption 8.7–8.0 litres/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions: 197–181
  g/km, CO<sub>2</sub> class G)* powered by a 250 kW/340 hp six-cylinder
  in-line engine.</p>
<p>Offered for all models regardless of the transmission selected, the
  Final Edition trim level costs 4.270 € (VAT incl). It requires the M
  Sport package already included as standard in the BMW Z4 sDrive30i and
  BMW Z4 M40i. With the BMW Z4 sDrive20i, the Final Edition is charged
  at 7.525 € (VAT incl), as the M Sport package is not part of the
  standard equipment for this engine variant and is therefore added to
  the vehicle at the usual cost of 3.255 € (VAT incl).</p>
<p>
  <strong>The history of the BMW Z4: Launch of the first generation in 2002.</strong></p>
<p>The BMW Z4 is part of a long-standing BMW tradition of open-top
  two‑seater sports cars. This successful lineage includes icons such as
  the BMW 328 Roadster, the BMW 507 and the BMW Z8.</p>
<p>The BMW Z4 had its premiere in autumn 2002, as the direct successor
  to the BMW Z3 launched in 1995. And, like its predecessor, the BMW
  roadster known internally as the E85 series was produced at the BMW
  Plant Spartanburg in the US state of South Carolina.  </p>
<p>With its long bonnet and short rear, the design of the BMW Z4
  signalled power and sporting prowess. In the cabin, the low seating
  position just in front of the rear axle made for an unforgettable
  roadster driving experience. The BMW Z4 set new standards with a
  torsional stiffness previously unmatched in the convertible and
  roadster segment. Its supreme agility was also due to its 50/50 weight
  distribution. The BMW Z4 M Roadster was the first generation’s
  range-topper. Fitted with the 252 kW/343 hp six-cylinder in-line
  engine from the BMW M3, it accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.0 seconds.</p>
<p>
  <strong>The second BMW Z4 generation: Unchanged dynamic appeal,
    electro-hydraulic retractable hardtop as standard.</strong></p>
<p>In December 2008 BMW introduced the second generation of the Z4 to
  the world. The new two-seater known internally as the E89 model series
  again combined classic proportions with leading-edge engineering.</p>
<p>It came with a completely new, electro-hydraulically retractable
  hardtop made up of two roof sections. Featuring an aluminium shell
  design, the hardtop was included as standard and could be opened or
  closed at the touch of a button in just 20 seconds. With the hardtop
  in place, the BMW Z4 offered the refined comfort of a sporty premium
  coupé. The interior of the new BMW Z4 had gained much over the
  first-generation model in terms of headroom and elbow room. In
  addition, this marked the first time the roadster used the BMW iDrive
  infotainment system.</p>
<p>
  <strong>The third-generation BMW Z4: Modern interpretation of the
    classic open-top sports car.</strong></p>
<p>BMW premiered the third – and current – generation of the BMW Z4 in
  August 2018 at Pebble Beach Golf Links near Monterey, California. The
  BMW Z4 world premiere revealed a modern interpretation of the classic
  open-top sports car. A premium roadster boasting an electrically
  operated fabric softtop, sporty handling and a purist, driver-focused
  interior design. This was complemented by premium-quality driver
  assistance, infotainment and connectivity features. Unparalleled in
  this segment is the three-litre straight-six engine with M TwinPower
  Turbo technology in the BMW Z4 M40i, which has been offered with a
  manual transmission since 2024 as the Pure Impulse Edition. The Final
  Edition will be the pinnacle of the third-generation BMW Z4.</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Contact presse: Jeroen Lissens<br>Tél: +32-3-890-9708<br>Adresse e-mail: <a href="mailto:jeroen.lissens@bmw.be">jeroen.lissens@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,Z4,G29,Product,BMW]]></category>

  <strong>Munich. </strong>BMW is bringing innovation and electric
  mobility into new areas of life with its new electric stand-up
  paddleboard (SUP). <br />The BMW x SipaBoards is the product of a
  collaboration with Slovenian manufacturer SipaBoards, the market
  leader in the field. The boards are self-inflating and combine
  electric drive technology with high-grade materials, digital
  connectivity and a flexible energy system. This is the first time BMW
  has offered an electrically powered product designed for water sports,
  opening up a new chapter in riding pleasure in the process. BMW Group
  Designworks took care of the visuals.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Electric lifestyle on the water.</strong></p>
<p>Stand-up paddleboarding has grown into an extremely popular, on-trend
  sport over recent years. It brings together physical activity,
  immersion in nature and low barriers to entry – and therefore appeals
  to first-timers and experienced water sports enthusiasts alike. The
  BMW x SipaBoards brings a new dimension to the paddleboarding
  experience in the form of electric assistance, connectivity and
  intuitive control. The result is a new level of mobility on the water
  and the confluence of comfort and adventure.</p>
<p>At the heart of the BMW x SipaBoards is an integrated motor
  generating up to 300 watts of power. It produces additional thrust
  while on the move and makes paddling easier – especially into
  headwinds or currents. The drivetrain, with a propeller developed
  specifically for BMW, runs emission-free and near silently, and
  delivers a unique riding experience at speeds of up to 7.5 km/h (4
  knots). The motor also comes in handy by pumping up the board
  automatically before you head out. The requisite energy is supplied by
  battery modules, which are available with a range of different
  capacities – to respond to individual requirements – and can be
  swapped out in just a few simple steps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Structural solidity and extensive connectivity.</strong></p>
<p>Its specially developed X-woven drop-stitch core gives the e-SUP
  superb structural rigidity and stability. The board is intuitive to
  use, via a new user interface (UI) with Bluetooth remote control –
  whose design was inspired by the BMW Neue Klasse – built into the
  paddle. It allows the rider to toggle into FREUDE Mode for extra
  power, eye-catching light effects and haptic feedback. A smartphone
  app brings additional functionality, enabling users to plan routes,
  for example, monitor the battery charge and utilise GPS tracking. An
  additional safety feature is the automatic power cut-off, which is
  triggered by a Bluetooth signal. If the paddle falls into the water, a
  return signal is immediately transmitted that automatically cuts the
  motor. This means the board remains under control at all times,
  including in unexpected situations, and makes riding extremely safe.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Fun for up to two people per SUP.</strong></p>
<p>The board and all-carbon-fibre paddle fuse robustness with lightness,
  and deliver an exceptional on-the-water riding experience. The board
  is 3.65 m long, 0.82 m wide, 0.15 m thick and weighs 10.9 kilograms
  (14.9 kg including the motor). It is designed to carry two people. The
  design was developed by BMW Group Designworks and draws parallels with
  the design language of the BMW Neue Klasse models. It spans the board,
  carbon-fibre paddle and accessories, and underscores the classy and
  cohesive overall look. Three colour variants are available. All the
  materials employed are extremely durable, which means they are good
  for sustainability and ideally suited to handling changing conditions
  on the water. The board runs quietly and with zero emissions.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Intelligent mounting system opens up a multitude of possibilities.</strong></p>
<p>Another special feature of the BMW x SipaBoards is the innovative
  mounting system, which allows accessories to be attached quickly to a
  large number of points on the e-SUP. For example, cameras, speakers,
  drinks bottles, waterproof bags or even coolboxes can all be fixed in
  place easily by click & connect and the board customised
  accordingly. LED ambient lighting underneath the board further
  enhances the exclusive vibe and provides a helping hand when boarding
  in the hours of darkness.</p>
<p>BMW also offers a Lifestyle Accessory Capsule, which comes with
  selected accessories such as an Insta360 X5 camera – allowing users to
  take incredible shots during a ride – and apparel from the BMW range.
  All of which means the e-SUP is not only extremely adept functionally,
  it can also serve as a window into the personal lifestyle of its owner.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Two battery configurations for electric boarding pleasure on
    the water.<br /></strong>The BMW x SipaBoards is offered with two 90
  Wh battery modules. This configuration is aimed at owners keen to
  explore lakes or coastlines, for example, from the water. The
  batteries enable between one and 3.5 hours of boarding time.</p>
<p>From spring 2026, the board will also be available with two 180 Wh
  battery modules as an option. These are designed for longer riding
  times and intended for people planning extended expeditions on the
  water. With these battery modules specified, users can cruise for
  between three and seven hours.</p>
<p>The BMW x SipaBoards is available now from the BMW Lifestyle online
  store, selected SipaBoards retailers and <a href="https://bmw.sipaboards.com/">https://bmw.sipaboards.com</a>
  priced at EUR 3,990.00.</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Contact presse: Jeroen Lissens<br>Tél: +32-3-890-9708<br>Adresse e-mail: <a href="mailto:jeroen.lissens@bmw.be">jeroen.lissens@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,BMW,Sports]]></category>

  <strong>Debrecen.</strong> With an impressive ceremony that
  artistically combined Hungarian culture and modern automotive
  production, Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW
  AG, today officially opened the BMW Group plant in Debrecen. The BMW
  Group’s newest and most innovative production site marks the beginning
  of a new era for the company. In late October, the new BMW iX3 will
  enter series production in the Hungarian university town of Debrecen
  as the first vehicle of the Neue Klasse. Plant Debrecen was planned
  virtually and realised in practice fully in line with the principles
  of the BMW iFACTORY, becoming the first BMW Group car plant to rely
  entirely on electricity from renewable energy during normal operation.</p>
<p>In addition to Oliver Zipse, high-ranking representatives from
  Hungarian politics, such as Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the Mayor
  of Debrecen, László Papp, as well as Milan Nedeljković, Member of the
  Board of Management for Production, Ilka Horstmeier, Member of the
  Board of Management for Human Resources and Real Estate, and
  Hans-Peter Kemser, President and CEO BMW Manufacturing Hungary Kft.,
  attended the grand opening.</p>
<p>“In our global production network, our new plant in Debrecen is a
  pioneer: It is our first fully-electric plant, the first production
  site to operate entirely without fossil fuels – and the first to build
  vehicles for the Neue Klasse. This makes our plant in Debrecen a
  decisive factor in the BMW Group's future success,” said Oliver Zipse.
  “The opening also sends a strong signal: We are expanding our
  footprint on our home continent and reaffirming our commitment to
  Europe as a strong and competitive location for industry.”</p>
<p>Hans-Peter Kemser added at the ceremony: “This is not only a new BMW
  Group plant – it is a cornerstone of progress. We are a partner to
  culture, to education and to the University of Debrecen, where
  together we foster the talents that will shape the future. And above
  all, it is a community – deeply embedded in the life of Debrecen and Hungary.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Strengthening the industrial base and expanding training</strong></p>
<p>The official opening ceremony began with a look back at the plant’s
  construction, following a 2018 decision that launched one of Hungary’s
  largest greenfield investments. The BMW Group’s first Central European
  location has firmly placed Debrecen on the region's automotive map,
  creating more than 2,000 direct jobs – and many more along the supply
  chain, at regional suppliers and service providers that have recently
  established themselves in Debrecen, alongside national and
  international companies. The new plant has also strengthened the
  industrial park and driven additional investment in transport and infrastructure.</p>
<p>At the same time, through collaborations with institutions such as
  the local university and the Vocational Training Centre of Debrecen,
  DSZC, Plant Debrecen has also become one of the largest training hubs
  for dual education programmes in Hungary.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Only the best of the best for Debrecen</strong></p>
<p>Plant Debrecen is the first BMW Group production site not tied to a
  specific primary plant. Instead, it serves as a network plant,
  combining best practices from different locations worldwide. For
  example, the press shop is modelled on the systems used in Spartanburg
  (USA) and Swindon (Great Britain), with their know-how and
  technologies further refined for Debrecen. In the body shop, the
  positioning of nearly 1,000 industrial robots, along with their
  processes, was digitally simulated in detail beforehand. The number of
  joining methods was also significantly reduced, with further
  streamlining allowing design features for the Neue Klasse to be
  integrated early in development.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Paint shop key to largest reduction in CO<sub>2</sub>e emissions</strong></p>
<p>At BMW Group Plant Debrecen, the paint shop plays a critical role in
  significantly reducing the BMW iX3’s CO<sub>2</sub>e footprint.
  Production of the new BMW iX3 will generate a total of about 80kg CO₂e
  (scope 1/2 emissions). This figure covers CO₂e emissions from Plant
  Debrecen, as well as in-house parts production at other BMW Group
  facilities, including components manufactured in Landshut, for
  example. This represents a reduction of approx. two-thirds compared to
  production of existing BMW derivatives. For Plant Debrecen alone, this
  approach will reduce CO₂e emissions from the manufacture of a vehicle,
  including its high-voltage battery, by around 90% – to about 34 kg
  CO₂e (when operating at full capacity, compared with other BMW Group facilities).</p>
<p>About a quarter of the plant's annual power needs will be supplied by
  the 50‑hectare on-site photovoltaic system, one of the largest in
  Hungary. Surplus solar energy, such as that generated on non-working
  days, is stored in a 1,800 m³ thermal storage system with a capacity
  of 130 MWh.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Digitalised assembly processes and smart “finger structure”</strong></p>
<p>Complete digitalisation of production processes further boosts
  assembly efficiency – for example, sensors and camera systems along
  the production line are used to automate quality processes. AI
  evaluates the data and provides real-time feedback to employees on the
  assembly line. The building's “finger structure” – an optimised
  version of BMW Group Plant Leipzig – allows 80% of parts to be
  delivered directly to the correct point of assembly on the line.
  In-house logistics are fully electric.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>High-voltage battery assembly in line with “local for local” principle</strong></p>
<p>High-voltage batteries are assembled directly on site, allowing for
  short distances in line with the “local for local” principle. Plant
  Debrecen will be the first of five plants worldwide to begin series
  production of Gen6 high-voltage batteries at this location. Seamless
  in-line quality inspections and 100% end‑of‑line monitoring enable a
  consistent zero-defect approach.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Final photo with employees and two BMW iX3s</strong></p>
<p>The opening ceremony concluded with a music and dance performance
  celebrating Hungarian culture and traditions, which the BMW Group also
  supports through local events and organisations. To wrap up, numerous
  employees joined Viktor Orbán and Oliver Zipse on stage, alongside two
  new BMW iX3s.</p>

  <p>
    <strong>Munich.</strong> Autumn 2025 adds revised powertrains, new
    features and practical details to the current BMW model range. The
    entry-level models into the world of BMW M – the BMW M240i xDrive
    Coupé as well as the corresponding models in the BMW 3 Series and 4
    Series – will in future have more powerful and fuel-efficient petrol engines. </p>
  <p>
    <strong>More power, reduced consumption for BMW M240i xDrive Coupé
      and the entry-level models into the world of BMW M in the BMW 3
      Series and BMW 4 Series.</strong></p>
  <p>Autumn 2025 will see both the BMW M340i xDrive Sedan (WLTP combined
    (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.5 litres/100 km;
    CO<sub>2</sub> emissions 172 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class F) and the
    BMW M340i xDrive Touring (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption
    7.9 litres/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions 181 g/km;
    CO<sub>2</sub> class G) fitted with a more powerful variant of the
    3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line petrol engine. It now has an output
    of 288 kW/392 hp, with the mild hybrid system contributing 9 kW/12
    hp. The overall increase in power over the previous model is
    13 kW/18 hp. Maximum torque has also increased by 40 Nm, to 540 Nm.</p>
  <p>This revised powertrain will in future also be fitted in the BMW
    M440i xDrive Coupé (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.7
    litres/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions 175 g/km;
    CO<sub>2</sub> class F), the BMW M440i xDrive Convertible (WLTP
    combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.7 litres/100 km;
    CO<sub>2</sub> emissions 176 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class G) and the
    BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupé (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption
    7.8 litres/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions 179 g/km;
    CO<sub>2</sub> class G).</p>
  <p>The output increase makes for even more dynamic performance in the
    BMW 3 Series and BMW 4 Series models mentioned above. It shaves 0.1
    seconds off the time it takes each model to accelerate from 0 to 100
    km/h. As a result, the BMW M340i xDrive Sedan can now perform this
    sprint in just 4.3 seconds. The BMW M240i xDrive Coupé (WLTP
    combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 8.0 litres/100 km;
    CO<sub>2</sub> emissions 183 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class G) now also
    comes fitted with this more powerful engine.</p>
  <p>In addition to the output boost, all models benefit from a
    significant increase in engine efficiency. As a result, the WLTP
    fuel consumption of the BMW M240i xDrive Coupé, for example, drops
    from 8.8–8.7 litres/100 km to 8.0 litres/100 km.
    CO<sub>2</sub> emissions were likewise reduced, from the previous
    200–199 g/km to 183 g/km (see table below for all fuel consumption
    and emissions figures of the new powertrains).</p>
  <p>
    <strong>New exterior colours for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé,
      Adaptive LED headlights available for more BMW 4 Series models,
      practical addition for the BMW 5 Series family.</strong>
    <br />From autumn 2025, an additional exterior colour will be
    available as an option for all versions of the BMW 2 Series Gran
    Coupé with the M Sport design or the M Sport package. Cape York
    Green can be ordered for the first time in conjunction with these
    trim levels.</p>
  <p>Moreover, Adaptive LED Headlights are also available as an
    individual option without the M Sport package Pro for the BMW 420i,
    BMW 420d and BMW 420d xDrive.</p>
  <p>In conjunction with Veganza and Merino upholstery, the
    comprehensive standard equipment in the BMW X3 now also includes
    rear headrests and side sections of the second row of seats in the
    upholstery colour. This further enhances the premium appeal of the
    BMW X3 interior.</p>
  <p>All BMW 5 Series, BMW i5 and BMW M5 Sedan and Touring models will
    in future offer a very handy feature. A coat hook on the B-pillar
    trim, provided as standard, makes transporting jackets and coats
    particularly easy.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Improvements related to BMW Connected Drive.</strong>
    <br />From autumn 2025, the Charging Guide in the Explore tab of the
    My BMW app will offer relevant help on all aspects of charging –
    e.g., “How do I charge?”, or “How do I optimise charging?” This
    helps to make charging stops as convenient and efficient as possible.</p>
  <p>BMW Maps charge-optimised route planning for all-electric vehicles
    is now also available in BMW vehicles with Operating System 8 and
    8.5 in Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Romania, Serbia and Singapore.</p>

  promouvoir le développement d'écosystèmes hydrogène locaux +++</p>
<p>//</p>
<p>
  <strong>Munich.</strong> The BMW Group is launching a vehicle with
  five different drivetrain technologies. The new BMW X5 will be the
  first model to offer customers a choice of battery electric, plug-in
  hybrid, petrol, diesel, and hydrogen fuel cell technology. The HyMoS
  (Hydrogen Mobility at Scale) initiative is designed to promote the
  development of hydrogen ecosystems and refueling stations in
  metropolitan areas and aims for an initial pilot implementation in Germany.</p>
<p>“By launching the new BMW X5 with a choice of five drive system
  variants, we are once again demonstrating our leading position as a
  technology pioneer,” says <strong>Joachim Post, Member of the Board of
    Management of BMW AG, Development</strong> at an BMW event in New
  York. “Hydrogen has an essential part to play in global
  decarbonisation, which is why we are committed to driving the
  technology forward.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Technology-open approach is a strategic success factor</strong></p>
<p>Product diversity continues to be a key success factor for the BMW
  Group. A wide-ranging portfolio of drive systems – encompassing ICE
  engines, plug-in hybrids, battery electric drive systems and, starting
    with <strong>the new BMW iX5 Hydrogen in 2028</strong>, hydrogen
  fuel cell technology – lays the foundations for successfully meeting
  the varying demands and needs of customers worldwide both now and in
  the future.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Flexible manufacturing structures</strong> and <strong>high
    levels of integration</strong> expertise enable this array of drive
  technologies to be implemented efficiently in the new BMW X5 range in
  terms of development, purchasing and production. This means the BMW
  model line-up will include two types of fully electric drivetrain
  (battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell) from 2028, underlining the
  rigorous application of the brand’s technology-open approach.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>The new BMW iX5 Hydrogen</strong></p>
<p>Following successful testing of the pilot fleet worldwide, the new
  BMW iX5 Hydrogen* will enter the market as the brand’s first-ever
  series-produced hydrogen-powered model. “<em>The new BMW iX5 Hydrogen
    will be a true BMW - pioneering in its class and delivering the BMW
    typical driving pleasure,” says <strong>Michael Rath, Vice President
      Hydrogen Vehicles BMW Group</strong>.</em></p>
<p>The drive technology is based on the <a href="https://newsroom.bmwgroup.com/global/en">third-generation
    fuel cell system</a> that the BMW Group is developing in
  collaboration with the Toyota Motor Corporation.</p>
<p>This technological advance paves the way for a system with a more
  compact design that is also more powerful and efficient, thereby
  increasing range and output at the same time as reducing energy consumption.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Benefits of hydrogen-powered technology</strong></p>
<p>Hydrogen is recognized as a promising future energy carrier for
  global decarbonization. It acts as an effective storage medium for
  renewable energy sources, helping to balance supply and demand and
  enabling a more stable and reliable integration of renewables into the
  energy grid. Hydrogen is the missing piece for completing the electric
  mobility puzzle where battery electric drive systems are not an
  optimal solution.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>HyMoS initiative: alliance for strengthening the hydrogen infrastructure</strong></p>
<p>As well as developing the new BMW iX5 Hydrogen, BMW is also actively
  involved in efforts to expand the hydrogen refueling network. The
  HyMoS (Hydrogen Mobility at Scale) initiative was established to
  support hydrogen ecosystems for mobility in cooperation with industry
  and institutional partners. The aim of this initiative is to increase
  the economic viability of hydrogen mobility ecosystems by pooling the
  demand for all types of vehicles, including trucks, buses and
  passenger cars. This will help to reach an optimal distribution and
  usage of hydrogen stations. The initiative supports existing hydrogen
  ecosystem projects in achieving their full potential by sharing
  experiences across projects and providing ground support of its
  industry partners. A pilot phase started with the support of existing
  ecosystems in Germany and France to gather experiences for deployment
  to further metropolitan areas and a potential later expansion to other countries.</p>

  <p>
    <strong>Debrecen.</strong> The BMW Group has entered the final phase
    before the first Neue Klasse model rolls off the assembly line.
    Series production of the new BMW iX3 will get underway in late
    October at the BMW Group plant in Debrecen, Hungary, as the newest,
    most innovative manufacturing facility in the company’s global
    production network officially begins work.</p>
  <p>“The start of series production for the BMW iX3 signals a new era
    of automotive manufacturing. Our new plant in Debrecen has been
    designed and built fully in line with our strategic vision of the
    iFACTORY. Digital from the very beginning, the plant will offer a
    new dimension in efficient production without fossil fuels,” says
    Milan Nedeljković, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG
    responsible for Production.</p>
  <p>The BMW iFACTORY represents a strategic vision of production, built
    on streamlined, efficient structures, responsible resource
    management, economical use of cutting-edge digital innovations and a
    strong focus on employees. The BMW Group has also registered new
    patents for a large number of innovative systems and processes at
    Plant Debrecen.</p>
  <p>“We have taken on the challenge of building a completely new
    vehicle as the first job at an entirely new plant – and doing so in
    the leanest, most efficient way possible. We have simplified
    processes, reduced complexity, digitally validated each individual
    operation and systematically leveraged expertise across our global
    network. The result is this plant, with its efficient production,
    innovative processes and the flexibility to integrate additional
    models,” says Hans-Peter Kemser, head of BMW Group Plant Debrecen.</p>
  <p>As with any new model, capacity for the new BMW iX3 will be
    gradually ramped up in stages after the start of production.
    Spearheading the arrival of the Neue Klasse, the iX3 showcases the
    latest design and technology innovations that will define the
    brand's entire model range in the future. Between now and 2027, the
    technologies in the Neue Klasse will be integrated into 40 new
    models and model updates.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>From virtual factory to reality</strong></p>
  <p>The guiding principles of the BMW iFACTORY have been fully
    implemented in the technologies employed at the new BMW Group plant
    in Debrecen. For example, Plant Debrecen was planned and built
    digitally from the outset, and celebrated its virtual start of
    production back in March 2023 in the BMW Group’s Virtual Factory.
    This approach allowed every operation to be tested virtually in
    advance, enabling production lines to be installed in the buildings
    exactly as in the digital twin.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Optimal processes for all plant technologies</strong></p>
  <p>With an optimised value stream and efficient systems,
      the <strong>press shop</strong> guarantees a high level of
    productivity. The BMW Group continues to follow its proven strategy
    of using the same tools and presses throughout its global network.
    This optimises capacity utilisation within the network by allowing
    press tools to be deployed at multiple locations and enabling staff
    to be trained in-network.</p>
  <p>The <strong>body shop</strong>, in particular, benefits from prior
    digital planning and validation. Every process detail was digitally
    simulated in advance to determine the ideal value stream and ensure
    that each of the nearly 1,000 robots was optimally positioned. From
    the outset, close collaboration between development and production
    teams led to high production efficiency and maximum customer
    benefit. For example, the number of joining methods was
    significantly reduced, lowering overall complexity. Design features
    integrated early in development are also evident in the details of
    the Neue Klasse, such as the invisible door seal. This creates a
    visual connection between the window and the door, resulting in a
    unique look. In addition, maximising the space available for the
    battery in the body structure – and thus the size and performance of
    the battery – directly benefits the customer.</p>
  <p>At BMW Group Plant Debrecen, the <strong>paint shop</strong> plays
    a critical role in <strong>significantly reducing the
      CO<sub>2</sub>e footprint of the BMW iX3</strong>. Production of
    the new BMW iX3 will generate a total of about 80kg CO₂e (scope 1/2
    emissions). This figure covers CO₂e emissions from Plant Debrecen,
    as well as in-house parts production at other BMW Group facilities,
    including components manufactured in Landshut, for example. This
    represents a <strong>reduction of approx. two-thirds compared to
      production of existing BMW derivatives. </strong>For Plant
    Debrecen alone, this approach will <strong>reduce CO₂e emissions
      from the manufacture of a vehicle, including its high-voltage
      battery, by around 90%</strong> – to about 34 kg CO₂e (when
    operating at full capacity, compared with other BMW Group facilities).</p>
  <p>Paint shops typically rely on gas to reach the high temperatures
    (up to 180 degrees Celsius) required. Plant Debrecen will be the BMW
    Group's first car plant supplied exclusively <strong>with
      electricity from renewable energy sources during normal
    operation</strong>, i.e. without using fossil fuels such as oil or
    gas. Because of its high energy demands, the paint shop is the most
    important factor in significantly lowering Plant Debrecen’s
    CO<sub>2</sub>e emissions.<strong> In the paint shop alone, using
      electricity from renewable sources reduces annual
      CO<sub>2</sub>e emissions by up to 12,000 tonnes. </strong>About a
    quarter of the plant's annual power needs will be supplied by the
    50‑hectare on-site <strong>photovoltaic system.</strong> Surplus
    solar energy, such as that generated on non‑working days, is stored
    in a 1,800 m³ <strong>thermal storage system</strong> with a
    capacity of 130 MWh.</p>
  <p>The paint shop also uses an energy recovery system. A <strong>heat
    grid</strong> was successfully implemented in the design of the new
    paint shop, delivering additional energy savings of up to 10%. This
    innovative concept combines multiple measures for
      efficient <strong>energy recovery</strong> from the compressed air
    supply, drying ovens and cooling systems. The recovered waste heat
    is then used to preheat the water circuit.</p>
  <p>In addition, a <strong>thermal storage system</strong> – holding
    1,800 m³ of water, with a capacity of 130 MWh – stores surplus
    energy from the photovoltaic system during off-peak periods and
    supplies it as heat during peak demand.</p>
  <p>Full digitalisation of production processes further
    boosts <strong>assembly</strong> efficiency. The AIQX (Artificial
    Intelligence Quality Next) IT platform developed in-house at the BMW
    Group is a key component of the BMW iFACTORY. AIQX uses sensors and
    camera systems along the production line to automate quality
    processes. AI evaluates the data and provides real-time feedback to
    employees on the line. Looking ahead, vehicles on the line will also
    become active, connected participants in the industrial IoT
    (Internet of Things) ecosystem. They will conduct self-analysis,
    interact with plant employees in real time and automatically share
    and document relevant messages, using tools such as on-board cameras
    and IT systems. The equipment, tools, components and every BMW in
    the assembly halls are already digitally connected to the BMW
    production system.</p>
  <p>The building's “finger structure” – an optimised version of the
    design employed at BMW Group Plant Leipzig – allows 80% of parts to
    be delivered directly to the correct point of assembly on the line.
    All-electric in-house <strong>logistics</strong> also benefit from
    autonomous tugger trains, which transport high-voltage batteries
    directly from production to installation points, as well as Smart
    Transport Robots that autonomously deliver smaller components to the
    assembly line. By linking all internal and external databases, the
    entire logistics process achieves unprecedented digital depth,
    automating many previously manual, interconnected analysis tasks.
    Well-structured information is therefore available at any time and
    can be analysed instantly “at the push of a button”.</p>
  <p>The BMW Group has created highly intelligent production processes
    for its new<strong> high-voltage batteries</strong> developed
    in-house. Plant Debrecen will be the first of five plants worldwide
    to begin series production of Gen6 high-voltage batteries. The
    production processes were initially developed and tested at pilot
    plants. Artificial intelligence, data analytics and constant
    knowledge sharing within the production network also play a key role
    in the ramp-up of production. Digital twins of production and
    comprehensive AI databases ensure optimisation of processes and
    employee training. A consistent zero-defect approach enables
    seamless in-line quality inspections and 100% end‑of-line
    monitoring. In line keeping with the “local for local” principle,
    high‑voltage battery assembly takes place directly on site, allowing
    the production teams to take advantage of infrastructure
    efficiencies and short distances.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Best of the best:<br />Plant Debrecen benefits from
      expertise at all production sites worldwide</strong></p>
  <p>BMW Group Plant Debrecen is the first production site in the
    company's network not tied to a specific primary plant. Instead, it
    serves as a network plant, combining best practices from various
    locations worldwide. A major advantage of this approach is that the
    plant’s current workforce of more than
    2,000 <strong>employees</strong> can be trained within the network,
    allowing employee know-how from different locations, such as China,
    South Africa, Mexico, the US and, of course, Germany, to be shared.
    At the same time, employees throughout the global network gain the
    opportunity to share their technology insights in Debrecen and bring
    expertise in production of the Neue Klasse models back to their own
    location – creating a win-win situation for all the plants.</p>

  concentration sur le conducteur faisant la renommée de la marque à un
  niveau supérieur, est un élément déterminant de l'expérience
  utilisateur numérique à bord du nouveau BMW iX3. De plus, un concept
  de durabilité global réduit l’empreinte carbone de la voiture tout au
  long de son cycle de vie de plus de 30 % par rapport à son prédécesseur.</p>
<p>Le premier modèle Neue Klasse sera construit dans la nouvelle usine
  de BMW Group à Debrecen, en Hongrie. La première variante du SAV
  entièrement électrique à sortir de la chaîne de production dès
  l’automne 2025 sera le BMW iX3 50 xDrive (consommation électrique en
  cycle mixte : 17,9 – 15,1 kWh/100 km ; classe CO<sub>2</sub> : A ;
  autonomie : 678 – 805 km [421 – 500 miles] ; chiffres provisoires
  selon WLTP) avec une puissance de 345 kW/469 ch et transmission
  intégrale électrique. D’autres variantes entièrement électriques
  suivront, dont un modèle d’entrée de gamme. Le lancement commercial de
  la nouvelle BMW iX3 débutera en Europe au printemps 2026 et aux
  États-Unis à l’été 2026. À compter de l’été 2026, une variante de la
  nouvelle BMW iX3 produite à l’usine de Shenyang et spécialement conçue
  pour répondre aux besoins et aux désirs des clients chinois sera
  également commercialisée.</p>
<p>La nouvelle BMW iX3 représente une avancée considérable en matière de
  développement par rapport à son prédécesseur du même nom, qui va bien
  au-delà d'un simple renouvellement de modèle classique. Les progrès
  réalisés en termes de design et de technologie donnent l’impression
  qu’une génération complète de véhicules a été sautée. Pour le
  BMW Group, le lancement du nouveau BMW iX3 constitue également une
  étape majeure dans le processus de transformation en matière
  d’électrification, de numérisation et de circularité. Fer de lance de
  l’arrivée de la Neue Klasse, le modèle offre aux clients les toutes
  dernières innovations sur le plan du design et de la technologie, qui
  façonneront l’ensemble de la gamme de modèles de la marque à l’avenir.
  Les technologies de la Neue Klasse seront intégrées dans 40 nouveaux
  modèles et mises à jour de modèles d’ici 2027.</p>
<p>« La Neue Klasse est notre plus grand projet tourné vers l’avenir et
  marque un énorme bond en avant en termes de technologies, d’expérience
  de conduite et de design », déclare Oliver Zipse, président du conseil
  d’administration de BMW AG. « Pratiquement tout est nouveau, mais elle
  est également plus BMW que jamais. Toute notre gamme de produits
  bénéficiera des innovations apportées par la Neue Klasse, quelle que
  soit la technologie du système d’entraînement utilisée. Ce qui n'était
  au départ qu'une vision audacieuse est désormais une réalité : la
  BMW iX3 est le premier modèle Neue Klasse à entrer en production en
  série. Nous ne nous contentons pas de mettre sur le marché la nouvelle
  génération de l'un de nos véhicules entièrement électriques les plus
  populaires, nous inaugurons en outre une nouvelle ère pour BMW. »</p>
<p>
  <strong>Lancement du nouveau langage de design : épuré, plein de
    caractère et intemporel.</strong></p>
<p>Les avancées technologiques majeures offrent toujours l’occasion
  d’introduire des changements de design plus importants. La nouvelle
  BMW iX3 marquera le coup d’envoi du nouveau langage de design BMW, qui
  sera progressivement repris sur l’ensemble de la gamme de modèles de
  la marque. Cette nouvelle utilisation des formes offre une
  interprétation très moderne du concept original et durable de BMW. Le
  design est intemporel tout en capturant l’air du temps. Il est réduit
  à l’essence de la marque BMW – et donc plus BMW que jamais. C'est pour
  cette raison qu’une protection complète du design a été enregistrée
  pour le nouveau langage stylistique BMW utilisé dans le nouveau BMW iX3.</p>
<p>Le nouveau BMW iX3 incarne les valeurs et les qualités de la Neue
  Klasse dans le format d’un SAV. Le premier modèle BMW X de nouvelle
  génération mise tout sur l'espace intérieur et sur un style de vie
  progressiste. Avec une longueur de 4 782 millimètres, une largeur de
  1 895 millimètres et une hauteur de 1 635 millimètres, le nouveau
  BMW iX3 arbore les proportions caractéristiques d’un SAV. Le design
  bi-corps caractéristique est imprégné de la présence robuste d'un
  modèle BMW X et affiche des lignes précises qui mettent les
  quatre roues en évidence. L’optimisation des détails aérodynamiques de
  la voiture permet d’obtenir un coefficient de traînée (C<sub>d</sub>)
  de 0,24.</p>
<p>Le volume du coffre du nouveau BMW iX3 peut être augmenté de 520 à
  1 750 litres maximum en rabattant les dossiers des sièges arrière si
  nécessaire. Le compartiment de rangement supplémentaire situé sous le
  capot peut accueillir 58 litres supplémentaires. Les clients ayant
  besoin d’une capacité de transport supplémentaire peuvent équiper leur
  voiture de la barre d’attelage rabattable électrique en option. La
  charge remorquable maximale du BMW iX3 50 xDrive est de 2 000 kilogrammes.</p>
<p>L’avant vertical et les surfaces clairement dessinées confèrent au
  nouveau BMW iX3 une présence considérable. La calandre BMW et les
  doubles phares, deux éléments distinctifs du design de la marque,
  occupent visuellement le devant de la scène. Les naseaux sculptés de
  BMW rappellent la Neue Klasse des années 1960 par leur disposition
  verticale. Une toute nouvelle signature lumineuse reprend le rôle joué
  précédemment par le chrome pour donner à la voiture une aura de
  qualité et de sophistication. De profil, les grandes surfaces rompues
  par quelques lignes précises créent une allure pleine de caractère.
  Les surfaces vitrées affleurantes et les poignées de portes sont
  également des caractéristiques de la vue latérale. La stature robuste
  du nouveau BMW iX3 est soulignée par des passages de roues couleur
  carrosserie aux contours subtilement rectangulaires, dans le style
  familier des modèles BMW X. L’arrière se distingue également par une
  silhouette puissante et athlétique. Les feux s’étendant bien au centre
  de l’extrémité arrière représentent une interprétation horizontale de
  la forme en « L » caractéristique de BMW.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Design intérieur : l’espace moderne est axé sur le conducteur,
    comme il se doit chez BMW, et offre un confort exceptionnel à tous
    les passagers.</strong></p>
<p>Le design de l’intérieur de la BMW iX3 établit de nouvelles normes en
  termes de modernité et d’expérience numérique. L’intérieur présente un
  design épuré et minimaliste, offrant le cadre idéal pour l’expérience
  numérique. L’habitacle est entièrement axé sur le conducteur, ce qui
  fait la renommée de BMW, mais aussi sur le confort de tous les
  occupants. Créée spécifiquement pour les véhicules électriques,
  l’architecture offre un espace extrêmement généreux aux cinq places.
  Les lignes du tableau de bord « flottant » se fondent directement dans
  les larges panneaux de porte, créant un effet enveloppant pour les
  passagers. Avec sa surface en tissu et son éclairage d’ambiance, le
  tableau de bord contribue à l’atmosphère chaleureuse et accueillante
  de l’habitacle. Les grandes surfaces vitrées et le toit panoramique en
  option avec vitrage confort climatique créent une ambiance baignée de lumière.</p>
<p>Le nouveau système de commande/fonctionnement BMW Panoramic iDrive,
  basé sur le récent BMW Operating System X, est un autre élément
  marquant du poste de conduite horizontal. Il réunit les écrans, la
  géométrie et le design lumineux et sonore en une expérience
  holistique, personnalisable via My Modes. Les nouveaux sons de
  conduite, effets sonores et signaux du paysage sonore BMW HypersonX,
  créé spécialement pour la Neue Klasse, jouent également un rôle de taille.</p>
<p>Les sièges au design élégant et minimaliste se distinguent par leur
  excellent niveau de confort sur les longs trajets, leur caractère
  sportif et leurs nombreuses possibilités de réglages. Le volant et la
  console centrale entre le siège conducteur et le siège passager avant,
  avec leurs espaces de rangement et leurs éléments de commande, ont
  également été entièrement redessinés. La banquette arrière offre une
  surface d’assise unique, digne d’un canapé.</p>
<p>Des univers intérieurs soigneusement agencés apportent un caractère
  unique et distinctif à chaque équipement. Les matériaux et les
  combinaisons de couleurs choisis s’inspirent du design intérieur
  moderne et de la technologie avancée de la Neue Klasse, et se
  coordonnent harmonieusement les uns avec les autres. Ils contribuent
  ainsi de manière notable et visible aux niveaux de confort
  exceptionnels à bord du nouveau BMW iX3. Une gamme de couleurs
  attrayante permet d’assortir parfaitement les teintes intérieures et
  les peintures extérieures. En alternative à la finition intérieure
  Essential de série en Vivid Grey avec revêtements de sièges Econeer,
  les clients peuvent également faire leur choix parmi trois autres
  compositions en Veganza, l’univers intérieur BMW M noir en Veganza et
  M PerformTex, ainsi que l’option BMW Individual avec une combinaison
  haut de gamme de cuir Merino/M PerformTex en Black Bicolour ou
  Adelaide Grey.</p>
<p>Le nouveau BMW iX3 peut être équipé en option du pack M Sport ou du
  pack M Sport Pro dès son lancement. Son look dynamique est encore
  accentué par des éléments extérieurs en noir brillant, des sièges M
  Sport et un volant M à l’intérieur de la voiture.</p>
<p>Le <strong>pack extérieur BMW Iconic Glow</strong> propose une
  séquence sonore et lumineuse impressionnante avec des styles
  <strong>Relaxed</strong>, <strong>Balanced</strong> et
  <strong>Excited</strong>. La séquence d’accueil commence dès que le
  conducteur s’approche du véhicule et, lorsqu’il prend place, un
  message d’accueil animé s’affiche sur le
  <strong>BMW Panoramic Vision</strong> et le Central Display,
  s’étendant en douceur du côté conducteur du poste de conduite au côté
  passager avant.</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW Panoramic iDrive : une concentration totale sur le
    conducteur, dans le plus pur style BMW.</strong></p>
<p>Le BMW iX3 est le premier modèle de série dans lequel le
  BMW Panoramic iDrive redéfinit l’expérience utilisateur et par
  conséquent, le pur plaisir de conduire. Grâce à son équilibre
  judicieux entre les fonctions numériques et les éléments physiques, le
  système BMW Panoramic iDrive élève le fonctionnement intuitif, selon
  le principe légendaire de BMW « mains sur le volant, yeux sur la
  route » à un niveau supérieur de concentration sur le conducteur.
  L’ensemble du système est le fruit de plusieurs décennies d’expérience
  et d’une approche de design centrée sur l’utilisateur. Les retours
  clients individuels, les données provenant de plus de 10 millions de
  véhicules connectés et les études d’utilisabilité menées auprès de
  plus de 3 000 clients ont tous été intégrés dans le processus de
  développement. Les commandes physiques sont à portée de main,
  notamment pour les essuie-glaces, les clignotants, les rétroviseurs
  extérieurs, le réglage du volume, le sélecteur de vitesse, le frein de
  stationnement, les feux de détresse, le chauffage de la lunette
  arrière et la fonction de dégivrage. D’autres fonctions ont été
  optimisées pour une utilisation par commande vocale et tactile ou via
  le volant multifonctions.</p>
<p>Le BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant a été considérablement amélioré
  et comprend désormais deux nouvelles voix, une nouvelle apparence pour
  le BMW Panoramic Vision et une assistance supplémentaire pour le
  conducteur grâce à des suggestions proactives et des routines
  personnalisables. La technologie Large Language Model (LLM) sera
  également progressivement introduite afin de permettre une interaction
  vocale encore plus intuitive à l’avenir.</p>
<p>Le BMW Panoramic iDrive réunit quatre éléments centraux dans un
  système d'affichage et de contrôle/commande unique. Le BMW Panoramic
  Vision projette les informations sur toute la largeur du pare-brise,
  d’un montant A à l’autre. Le contenu au centre et du côté passager
  avant peut être adapté aux goûts et exigences personnels. Les
  informations de conduite clés apparaissent dans le champ de vision du
  conducteur. Et au-dessus du BMW Panoramic Vision, le
  BMW 3D Head-Up Display (si spécifié) peut désormais afficher des
  informations de navigation et de conduite automatisée intégrées sur la
  route avec une profondeur spatiale. Le Central Display au design épuré
  avec technologie de rétro-éclairage matriciel est situé dans une
  position ergonomique idéale à côté du volant. Côté conducteur, des
  widgets disposés verticalement permettent d’accéder rapidement et
  directement aux fonctions les plus fréquemment utilisées grâce à la
  technologie QuickSelect.   Le nouveau volant multifonctions fait
  office de point de commande physique principal. Ses boutons aident le
  conducteur et le véhicule à travailler en symbiose grâce à des
  éclairages, une surface en relief et un retour haptique.</p>
<p>Le BMW Panoramic iDrive repose sur le tout nouveau
  BMW Operating System X, qui offre un large éventail de possibilités de
  personnalisation via le BMW ID, une assistance intelligente au
  conducteur, une grande variété de fonctions numériques, une
  connectivité étendue grâce à l'application My BMW et une expérience
  exceptionnelle grâce aux BMW Software Updates.</p>
<p>Le système de navigation BMW Maps de série intègre une mise à niveau
  pour un guidage routier optimisé pour la recharge, ainsi qu’une
  présentation intelligemment coordonnée des informations sur le BMW
  Panoramic Vision, le Central Display et le 3D Head-Up Display en
  option. La BMW Digital Key Plus peut être configurée sur les
  smartphones et les montres connectées de tous les plus grands
  fabricants, également de série. Par ailleurs, le
  BMW Operating System X propose une multitude de divertissements sur la
  route et pendant les pauses recharge, offrant aux clients non
  seulement des applications de streaming musical telles que Spotify et
  des jeux embarqués avec AirConsole, mais aussi une application de
  streaming vidéo donnant accès à Disney+, YouTube et d'autres
  plateformes de vidéo à la demande et en direct internationales/de
  nombreux pays. L’application Zoom pour les appels vidéo est désormais
  également disponible.</p>
<p>Le BMW ConnectedDrive Store donne un aperçu des fonctionnalités que
  les clients peuvent actuellement télécharger ou auxquelles ils peuvent
  accéder, et celles-ci peuvent être ajoutées facilement et en toute
  flexibilité via les mises à niveau ConnectedDrive. Par exemple, plus
  de 60 applications tierces dans les catégories musique et audio,
  divertissement, jeux, actualités, voyages et destinations sont
  disponibles dans le monde entier. Pour télécharger les fonctionnalités
  et utiliser les applications, les clients doivent disposer d’une
  connexion via BMW Digital Premium ou un réseau WiFi/hotspot

<p>
  <strong>Technologie BMW eDrive de sixième génération : plus
    d’efficacité, plus d’autonomie, recharge plus rapide.</strong></p>
<p>La technologie BMW eDrive de sixième génération développée pour la
  Neue Klasse comprend des moteurs électriques hautement efficaces, des
  batteries haute tension totalement inédites à cellules cylindriques,
  ainsi qu’une technologie 800 V. La BMW iX3 50 xDrive est alimentée par
  deux moteurs électriques qui génèrent ensemble une puissance de
  345 kW/469 ch et un couple de 645 Nm (475 lb-pi). Elle accélère de 0 à
  100 km/h (62 mph) en 4,9 secondes et atteint une vitesse de pointe de
  210 km/h (130 mph). Sa configuration de transmission intégrale
  électrique se compose d’un moteur synchrone à excitation électrique
  (EESM) considérablement amélioré, avec des niveaux d’efficacité
  particulièrement élevés sur l’essieu arrière et, sur l’essieu avant,
  d’un nouveau moteur asynchrone (ASM) qui se distingue par sa
  conception compacte et sa rentabilité élevée. La combinaison de l’EESM
  et de l’ASM témoigne également de l’engagement du BMW Group en faveur
  de la neutralité technologique dans le domaine de la mobilité
  électrique. La technologie d’entraînement développée pour la Neue
  Klasse réduit les pertes d’énergie de 40 % par rapport à la
  technologie BMW eDrive de cinquième génération, le poids de 10 % et
  les coûts de fabrication de 20 %.</p>
<p>Le nouveau concept de batterie haute tension à cellules cylindriques
  pour la Neue Klasse réalise également des avancées significatives. La
  densité énergétique au niveau des cellules est 20 % supérieure à celle
  de la technologie BMW eDrive de cinquième génération, et ce nouveau
  concept ouvre également la voie à une hausse de 30 % de la vitesse de
  recharge. Les cellules cylindriques sont directement intégrées à la
  batterie haute tension (« cell to pack »), ce qui améliore la densité
  énergétique et la rentabilité. En outre, la batterie haute tension est
  intégrée à l’architecture du véhicule en tant que composant structurel
  pour minimiser le poids (« pack to open body »). La batterie haute
  tension de la BMW iX3 50 xDrive affiche une énergie utilisable de
  108,7 kWh, permettant une autonomie allant jusqu’à 805 kilomètres
  (500 miles) en cycle WLTP.</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW Charging : temps de recharge courts, une première pour la
    recharge bidirectionnelle.</strong></p>
<p>Les avancées apportées par la technologie BMW eDrive de
  sixième génération ont également une influence significative sur
  l'expérience de recharge. Un taux de recharge maximal de 400 kW permet
  aux utilisateurs de recharger leur nouveau BMW iX3 avec suffisamment
  d’énergie sur une borne de recharge rapide à courant continu (CC) de
  800 V pour accumuler jusqu’à 372 kilomètres (231 miles)<a name="_ftnref1"></a><a href="https://pressclub.bmwgroup.net/commportal/article/detail/T0451998EN/the-new-bmw-ix3?embargo=&language=en#_ftn1">[1]</a>
  d’autonomie en dix minutes seulement. La batterie haute tension peut
  être rechargée de 10 à 80 % de sa capacité en 21 minutes. Grâce à la
  technologie de gestion de la batterie avec matrice de commutation
  intégrée développée en interne par le BMW Group, la nouvelle BMW iX3
  peut également être rechargée sur des bornes 400 V CC. Les
  améliorations apportées à la préparation de la batterie permettent
  également de réduire les temps de recharge. Le nouveau
  BMW iX3 50 xDrive peut être rechargé en courant alternatif (CA) à
  11 kW de série ou à 22 kW<a name="_ftnref2"></a><a href="https://pressclub.bmwgroup.net/commportal/article/detail/T0451998EN/the-new-bmw-ix3?embargo=&language=en#_ftn2">[2]</a>
  en option.</p>
<p>De nombreuses fonctions de recharge bidirectionnelles<a name="_ftnref3"></a><a href="https://pressclub.bmwgroup.net/commportal/article/detail/T0451998EN/the-new-bmw-ix3?embargo=&language=en#_ftn3">[3]</a>
  sont également disponibles pour le nouveau BMW iX3, ce qui signifie
  que le véhicule peut être utilisé comme source d’énergie pour diverses applications.</p>
<p>La sélection d’accessoires de recharge de série et en option a été
  considérablement élargie. Pour une recharge flexible pendant un
  trajet, les clients peuvent faire appel au nouveau chargeur
  multifonction, livré avec plusieurs adaptateurs pour recharger et
  décharger la batterie haute tension. La nouvelle
  BMW Wallbox Professional (CC) permet une recharge bidirectionnelle à
  domicile ou au travail. De plus, BMW Charging offre la possibilité
  d’une recharge à domicile optimisée en termes de coûts/d’énergie
  solaire. Emblématique de l’expérience de recharge de cette nouvelle
  génération de véhicules, la trappe de recharge intelligente du nouveau
  BMW iX3 utilise l’intelligence artificielle (IA) pour détecter
  l’intention du client de recharger sa voiture, puis s’ouvre ou se
  ferme automatiquement. La technologie BMW eDrive de sixième génération
  permet de visualiser la vitesse et la courbe de recharge actuelles
  dans l’application My BMW. Il est possible d’afficher numériquement
  jusqu’à dix contrats de recharge individuels de différents
  fournisseurs à l’intérieur du nouveau BMW iX3, ce qui permet
  d’utiliser la fonction Plug & Charge Multi Contract.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Heart of Joy : le pur plaisir de conduire atteint de nouveaux sommets.</strong></p>
<p>L’un des quatre « supercerveaux » de l’architecture électronique de
  la Neue Klasse, baptisé « Heart of Joy », supervise la gestion de la
  transmission et de la dynamique de conduite. Cette unité de commande
  hautes performances est responsable des sous-fonctions de la
  transmission, des freins, de la récupération d’énergie et de la
  direction, et traite les informations jusqu’à dix fois plus rapidement
  que les unités de commande classiques. Ainsi, le potentiel de la
  mobilité électrique en termes de fourniture instantanée de puissance,
  de transfert de puissance fluide, d’agilité, de stabilité et
  d’efficacité est pleinement exploité.</p>
<p>Associé à la pile logicielle BMW Dynamic Performance Control
  développée entièrement en interne, le Heart of Joy calcule tous les
  paramètres de dynamique de conduite avec un niveau de vitesse et de
  précision inédit. Ici, les décennies d'expérience de BMW dans le
  domaine du contrôle de la dynamique de conduite prennent tout leur
  sens. Le conducteur et les passagers du nouveau BMW iX3 bénéficient de
  sensations de conduite uniques, harmonieuses et typiques de BMW,
  quelles que soient la situation et la vitesse. Chaque mouvement de
  l’accélérateur, de la pédale de frein et de la direction est exécuté
  directement, avec assurance et précision. Parmi ses autres atouts,
  citons une traction exceptionnelle et, grâce à la fonction Soft Stop
  unique, le freinage le plus doux jamais réalisé par une BMW. En outre,
  l’efficacité du nouveau BMW iX3 est optimisée par la gestion intégrée
  de la transmission, du système de freinage et de la récupération
  d’énergie. En conduite quotidienne, 98 % des manœuvres de freinage
  sont effectuées uniquement par récupération, c’est-à-dire sans
  utiliser les freins à friction.</p>
<p>
  <strong>« Supercerveaux » pour les systèmes d’aide à la conduite dotés
    d’une technologie de nouvelle génération.</strong></p>
<p>Un autre ordinateur hautes performances réunit toutes les fonctions
  de conduite et de stationnement automatisées du BMW iX3. Fort d’une
  puissance de traitement 20 fois supérieure à celle des unités de
  commande traditionnelles, le « superbrain of automated driving »
  permet à la Neue Klasse de réaliser une avancée technologique
  significative dans ce domaine également.</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW Symbiotic Drive offre un soutien sans faille.</strong></p>
<p>Le BMW iX3 utilise sa capacité Symbiotic Drive combinée à
  l’assistance au conducteur pour créer une expérience de conduite
  totalement inédite. Dès que le conducteur souhaite accélérer, freiner
  ou tourner, ses actions fusionnent de manière transparente et
  intuitive avec un logiciel basé sur l’IA. Le résultat : une toute
  nouvelle forme de pur plaisir de conduire. Ces fonctions d’aide à la
  conduite sont généralement déjà incluses de série dans le modèle
  d’entrée de gamme. Par exemple, le régulateur de vitesse automatique
  ne se désactive pas d’une simple pression sur la pédale de frein, mais
  uniquement lorsque le conducteur freine plus fort. L’Assistant BMW
  Highway perfectionné aide les conducteurs du BMW iX3 dès leur entrée
  sur l'autoroute et jusqu'à leur sortie, leur permettant de lâcher le
  volant pendant de longues périodes.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Nouvelle architecture électronique avec quatre « supercerveaux ».</strong></p>
<p>L’architecture électronique entièrement repensée comprend au total
  quatre ordinateurs haute performance appelés « supercerveaux ». Ils
  mettent en commun leur puissance de traitement pour la dynamique de
  conduite, la conduite automatisée, l’infodivertissement et les
  fonctions de base et d’amélioration du confort. Ils constituent
  également la base d’une nouvelle architecture logicielle pouvant être
  mise à niveau en continu et donc conçue pour intégrer les prochaines
  mises à jour de fonctions, y compris les fonctionnalités d’IA.</p>
<p>Ce nouveau système nerveux numérique est constitué d’un faisceau
  divisé en quatre zones. Cela permet de réduire le poids de 30 % par
  rapport à la technologie utilisée précédemment et d’économiser environ
  600 mètres de câbles. Autre nouveauté, les « smart eFuses »
  numériques, qui remplacent les fusibles de sécurité classiques. Ils
  permettent des modes de puissance intelligents pour différents états
  du véhicule, ce qui contribue à optimiser l’efficacité globale de la voiture.</p>
<p>Avec ses quatre supercerveaux et ses plateformes logicielles
  hautement connectées, le BMW iX3 est un véritable véhicule défini par
  logiciel et exceptionnellement bien équipé pour l’avenir. En outre, la
  nouvelle architecture électronique constitue la base d’améliorations
  multiples dans la mise en réseau du BMW iX3 avec l’application My BMW.
  Ce niveau de qualité inédit en matière d’intégration offre de
  nouvelles expériences et recèle un potentiel considérable pour les
  innovations futures.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Équipements et personnalisation au service du plaisir de
    conduire, du confort et de la polyvalence.</strong></p>
<p>Le nouveau BMW iX3 sera proposé dès son lancement dans une peinture
  unie et cinq teintes métallisées. En alternative aux jantes en alliage
  léger de 20 pouces de série, les clients peuvent également parcourir
  une sélection exclusive de nouvelles jantes en alliage léger (20, 21
  et 22 pouces) disponibles en option. La gamme comprend en outre des
  jantes en alliage léger BMW M et BMW Individual, certaines dans une
  version Air Performance optimisée en termes d’aérodynamique et de poids.</p>
<p>Les clients peuvent personnaliser le design de l’habitacle selon leur
  style personnel à l’aide des univers de design intérieur Essential,
  Contemporary, M Sport et BMW Individual. Le siège conducteur et le
  siège passager avant sont chauffants et réglables électriquement de
  série. Les sièges M Sport et les sièges multifonctions sont
  disponibles en option. La liste d’options comprend également un volant
  sport et un volant M Sport.</p>
<p>Le nouveau BMW iX3 50 xDrive est également équipé de série d'une
  climatisation automatique à deux zones, de l’Accès confort, d'un hayon
  automatique, du pack rétroviseurs extérieurs étendu, d'un système
  d'alarme et de la téléphonie avec fonction de recharge sans fil. Parmi
  les autres points forts de l’offre d’équipements optionnels, citons la
  climatisation automatique à trois zones, les fonctions de phares
  adaptatifs avec contrôle intelligent de la lumière, le pack
  BMW Iconic Glow comprenant des naseaux BMW éclairés, le système HiFi
  Harman Kardon avec 13 haut-parleurs, le chauffage du volant et un
  grand toit panoramique, dont le vitrage confort climatique est doté
  d’un filtrage unique de l’énergie solaire et d’une protection UV à 100 %.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Approche holistique ciblant la circularité et la réduction du CO<sub>2</sub>.</strong></p>
<p>Le BMW Group a lancé le développement de sa prochaine génération de
  véhicules en intensifiant une fois de plus ses efforts pour accroître
  la circularité et réduire les émissions de CO<sub>2</sub>. Une
  approche holistique visant à minimiser l’empreinte carbone du produit
  a également été appliquée au nouveau BMW iX3, du développement de
  produits axés sur la circularité à une chaîne d’approvisionnement
  optimisée par l’utilisation systématique de matériaux secondaires et
  d’énergie renouvelable jusqu’à la production, la phase d’utilisation
  du véhicule et son recyclage ultérieur.</p>
<p>Diverses mesures garantissent que l'empreinte carbone du nouveau
  BMW iX3 50 xDrive sur l'ensemble de son cycle de vie, mesurée en
  CO<sub>2</sub>e (équivalents CO<sub>2</sub>) et sur la base d'un
  kilométrage de 200 000 kilomètres (124 260 miles), est inférieure de
  34 % à celle de son prédécesseur. Cela signifie qu’en utilisant
  l’énergie issue du mix électrique européen, le véhicule aura une
  empreinte carbone produit plus faible (sur l'ensemble du cycle de vie)
  qu’un modèle thermique comparable après avoir parcouru environ
  21 500 kilomètres (13 358 miles). Si la voiture est rechargée
  exclusivement avec de l’électricité issue de sources renouvelables, il
  ne lui faudra parcourir que 17 500 kilomètres (10 873 miles) pour
  atteindre le même résultat.</p>
<p>Environ un tiers du nouveau BMW iX3 est fabriqué à partir de matières
  premières secondaires. Par exemple, les composants thermoplastiques du
  compartiment moteur, l’espace de rangement sous le capot et son
  couvercle sont fabriqués à partir de 30 %<a name="_ftnref4"></a><a href="https://pressclub.bmwgroup.net/commportal/article/detail/T0451998EN/the-new-bmw-ix3?embargo=&language=en#_ftn4">[4]</a>
  de plastique marin recyclé. Le fil utilisé pour le dessus des sièges
  Econeer est composé à 100 %<a name="_ftnref5"></a><a href="https://pressclub.bmwgroup.net/commportal/article/detail/T0451998EN/the-new-bmw-ix3?embargo=&language=en#_ftn5">[5]</a>
  de PET recyclé, tandis que le fil employé pour la garniture de
  pavillon et des tapis de sol est fabriqué à 100 %<a name="_ftnref6"></a><a href="https://pressclub.bmwgroup.net/commportal/article/detail/T0451998EN/the-new-bmw-ix3?embargo=&language=en#_ftn6">[6]</a>
  en matériaux recyclés. En ce qui concerne le châssis de la voiture,
  l'aluminium utilisé pour les paliers pivotants et les supports de
  moyeu est composé à 80 % de matières premières secondaires, tandis que
  les jantes sont moulées à partir d'aluminium contenant 70 % de
  matières secondaires.</p>
<p>L’empreinte carbone globale des produits de la chaîne
  d’approvisionnement du BMW iX3 50 xDrive a été réduite de 35 %. La
  production à l’usine de BMW Group de Debrecen n’utilise pas de
  combustibles fossiles en fonctionnement normal. Et grâce à la
  technologie BMW eDrive de sixième génération et à d'autres mesures
  BMW EfficientDynamics, l'efficacité globale du nouveau BMW iX3 en
  phase d'utilisation est environ 20 % supérieure à celle du modèle précédent.</p>

  supplémentaire après dix minutes de recharge haute puissance a été
  déterminée conformément à la norme ISO 12906 dans le cycle WLTP. Cette
  autonomie et les performances de recharge dépendent des spécifications

  <strong>Munich.</strong> BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad will present their
  new arrivals at two central locations during the IAA Mobility 2025
  show, just like at the 2021 and 2023 editions of the event: The IAA
  Mobility Summit will take place at Munich’s exhibition centre (Messe
  München) – the BMW Group stand is in Hall A1 – and the BMW Group’s
  Open Space can be found at Max-Joseph-Platz square, under the gaze of
  the opera house. The generously proportioned Open Space, which covers
  an area of 3,000 m<sup>2</sup>, is open to visitors free of charge on
  Tuesday, 9 September (the official opening day) from 11.00 a.m. to
  9.00 p.m. CET, on Wednesday, 10 September – Saturday, 13 September
  from 11.00 a.m. to 11.00 p.m. CET and on Sunday, 14 September from
  10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. CET. BMW Welt and the BMW Museum will also be
  playing their part in the most important event of the year for the
  automotive and mobility sector with exhibitions and concepts of their
  own. The official opening of the IAA Mobility Summit will take place
  at the exhibition centre on Monday, 8 September at 8.00 a.m. CET. It
  is aimed primarily at trade visitors and is open every day until
  Friday, 12 September from 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. CET.</p>
<p>
  <strong>The premiere of the Neue Klasse.</strong>
  <br />The BMW Group is presenting one of the most significant new
  vehicles in its history at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munch, its home city.
  The BMW iX3, the first Neue Klasse model, will celebrate its public
  unveiling at the event. Revealed at the same time will be new
  technologies that will play a revolutionary and trailblazing role
  across the BMW Group in the future. The new BMW iX3 gives the public
  their first glimpse of the huge technological leap forward made by BMW
  in many areas: electric mobility, display and control/operation,
  digitalisation, connectivity, design, sustainability and technological
  openness. All upcoming BMW models will benefit from the innovations in
  the Neue Klasse – regardless of the drive system type used to power them.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Focusing on the new BMW iX3 and its innovations.</strong>
  <br />As BMW’s star of the IAA 2025, the new BMW iX3 will take centre
  stage event-wide. As well as the presentation of several examples of
  the global newcomer, the central stage in the shadow of Munich’s opera
  house at Max-Joseph-Platz will host daily “Masterclasses” featuring
  the new model. On each of the six days of the event, there will also
  be demonstrations of the new BMW Panoramic iDrive developed entirely
  in-house at BMW. These innovations from the BMW iX3 will likewise find
  their way into all future BMW models as part of a gradual process.</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW Charging debuts bidirectional charging.</strong>
  <br />A dedicated area of the Open Space will focus on BMW Charging,
  with the help of current BMW electric vehicles like the new BMW iX and
  the BMW i5. The assembled experts here will provide the low-down on
  both public charging and the BMW Charging offering for home charging
  using various BMW Wallboxes. BMW Charging will present the
  bidirectional charging available in the BMW iX3 for the first time at
  the IAA Mobility show. This technology allows the iX3 to feed energy
  from its high-voltage battery into the customer’s home power supply
  (Vehicle-to-Home – V2H) or the public grid (Vehicle-to-Grid – V2G).</p>
<p>
  <strong>Models from BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad at the Open Space.</strong>
  <br />Beyond the IAA Mobility show’s focus on the BMW iX3 as the first
  Neue Klasse vehicle, fans of the other BMW models and aficionados of
  the MINI, BMW M and BMW Motorrad brands are also well catered for,
  needless to say. Among the models on the bill at the Open Space are
  the battery-electric BMW i4, BMW i5, BMW i7 and BMW iX, the BMW X3 30e
  xDrive (WLTP, combined – in accordance with the EnVKV [German
  Passenger Car Energy Labelling Regulation]*: energy consumption
  weighted: 16.7 kWh/100 km and 3.3 l/100 km [85.6 mpg imp]; CO₂
  emissions weighted: 76 g/km; CO₂ classes: with discharged battery G;
  weighted B; fuel consumption with discharged battery: 8.2 l/100 km
  [34.5 mpg imp]) and the BMW M5 Touring with plug-in hybrid drive
  system (WLTP, combined – in accordance with the EnVKV: energy
  consumption weighted: 27.6 kWh/100 km and 2.0 l/100 km [141.2 mpg
  imp]; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions weighted: 45 g/km (WLTP);
  CO<sub>2</sub> classes: with discharged battery G, weighted B; fuel
  consumption with discharged battery: 10.9 l/100 km [25.9 mpg imp]).</p>
<p>BMW Motorrad is presenting the BMW CE 02 and BMW CE 04 electric
  premium scooters – for electric mobility majoring in manoeuvrability –
  at the city-centre location. And with the BMW Vision CE, the brand
  also offers a fascinating look ahead to how developers and designers
  are envisaging the future of fully electric scooters for the big city.</p>
<p>
  <strong>MINI: show cars and “Britishness” launch a stage takeover.</strong>
  <br />MINI will spread its IAA Mobility 2025 presence across two
  locations in the heart of Munich. Its spectacular Open Space set at
  Max-Joseph-Platz and central brand appearance at the MINI Pavillon on
  Lenbachplatz will provide insights deep into the DNA of the brand.
  Plus, two eye-catching JCW show cars will celebrate their world
  premieres in Munich as part of a suitably gripping presentation. The
  Bavarian capital will turn into one huge stage for the iconic British
  brand during IAA Mobility 2025.</p>
<p>The JCW show cars will bring attention-grabbing presence to the MINI
  Pavillon and provide visual evidence of motor sport as a defining
  element of MINI DNA. The British icon and racing competition certainly
  go hand in hand, as confirmed most recently by the brand’s latest
  success in the Nürburgring 24-hour race. The show cars will be on
  display at Lenbachplatz for the duration of the IAA, locking into the
  spirit of a world-renowned fashion and lifestyle brand. The MINI
  Pavillon will be extensively refurbished for the occasion and
  dedicated entirely to the John Cooper Works sub-brand.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Entertainment for families at the Open Space.</strong>
  <br />In 2025, as in previous years, the Family Area at the Open Space
  invites visitors to get involved and enjoy a spot of relaxation at the
  same time. Children, teenagers and families can look forward to
  creative attractions such as LEGO build areas, a Disney+ Dance
  Challenge with Lilo & Stitch, craft activities and a water
  station. Other highlights – e.g. on the roof terrace – only add to the
  richly varied family programme.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Events at the exhibition centre, BMW Welt and BMW Museum.</strong>
  <br />Expanding on its star turn at the Open Space on
  Max-Joseph-Platz, the BMW iX3 also holds sway at the BMW Group’s 2,000
  m<sup>2</sup> stand in the exhibition centre – which is located in
  Riem, in the eastern part of Munich. Alongside the spread of vehicles
  on display here at the Summit, innovations including BMW Panoramic
  iDrive, sixth-generation eDrive technology, and driving dynamics
  management provided by the “Heart of Joy” high-performance computer
  will be front and centre of presentations and talks by experts. The
  most important elements of BMW Panoramic iDrive are the display
  surface spanning the full width of the lower windscreen, the new
  multifunction steering wheel with shy-tech technology, and the Central
  Display. All play their part in an impressive large-scale animation.
  The experts at the Summit will also shed light on areas such as fuel
  cells, alternative fuels, plug-in hybrid drive systems and charging technology.</p>
<p>
  <strong>1961 Neue Klasse also makes an appearance at the show.</strong>
  <br />The BMW Group’s stand at the exhibition centre will be
  showcasing a celebrity car from years past, as BMW Classic winds back
  the clock to a BMW 1500 from the 1960s – the first model in the
  original Neue Klasse line-up. The 1500 was the headline act at the
  1961 IAA in Frankfurt, a genuine breakthrough star that wrote the
  opening lines for an international success story. The Neue Klasse laid
  the foundations for the BMW Group to become the world’s most
  successful maker of premium automobiles. And now the BMW iX3 of 2025
  takes us full circle – a car with all the tools to build on this
  growth and the first model in another new era.</p>
<p>Visitors to the exhibition centre will also encounter a selection of
  current models, including a BMW M5 Touring, a BMW X3 20d xDrive (WLTP,
  combined (EnVKV)*: fuel consumption 6.5 l/100 km [43.5 mpg imp];
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions 171 g/km; CO<sub>2</sub> class: F) and a BMW
  iX5 Hydrogen* (consumption as per WLTP: 1.19 kg H<sub>2</sub>/100 km;
  consumption, combined as per NEDC: –; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions,
  combined as per WLTP: 0 g/km; range as per WLTP: 504 km [313 miles];
  CO<sub>2</sub> class: A).</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW Welt switches on a new type of charging
  hub.<br /></strong>As well as its appearances at the Open Space in the
  city centre and the exhibition centre, the BMW iX3 will also be on
  show at BMW Welt in the north of Munich from 6 September. Under the
  spotlight here along with the new fully electric BMW model are
  innovations such as BMW Panoramic iDrive and services like BMW
  Charging. During the IAA, customers stopping to top up their vehicles
  at the BMW Welt charging stations will be treated to a refreshing
  surprise and, if desired, a free personal tour of all things BMW iX3
  and BMW Charging.</p>
<p>Shortly before IAA Mobility 2025 opens to visitors, a new vehicle
  charging hub will go into service outside BMW Welt. The BMW Welt
  High-Power Charging station will provide eight charging points for
  electric vehicles. Created by Designworks, BMW’s innovation studio,
  the hub fits in neatly with the unique architecture of the overall
  building. Expert talks and presentations will accompany the
  introduction of the new charging facility from 8 September and
  continue throughout IAA Mobility 2025.</p>
<p>
  <strong>DigiTour: interactive experiences at the BMW Museum.</strong>
  <br />The BMW Museum will greet visitors to IAA Mobility 2025 with a
  new digital attraction: the BMW Museum DigiTour. This web-based app,
  which can be accessed without downloading, provides a modern,
  fascinating and interactive offering for the visitors from around the
  world. This new digital visitor experience brings the history and
  allure of the BMW brand to life. A highlights tour of classic BMWs
  (from the early days to the present day) will be presented here in
  digital form, as will shortly the Museum’s temporary exhibition “Belle
  Macchine – Italian Automotive Design at BMW.” Additional tours are
  planned, including options for families and kids. The BMW Museum
  DigiTour is free of charge, opens a window into rarely shown archive
  material and is available in several different languages. </p>
<p>
  <strong>The BMW Group: sustainability and circular economy across all areas.</strong>
  <br />As an integral part of the BMW Group’s strategy at IAA Mobility
  2025, the theme of sustainability stands tall in an array of world
  premieres and innovations. Alongside the electrification of its drive
  systems, the BMW Group has adopted a holistic approach to achieving
  its goals in this area. The focus here is on reducing
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions throughout a vehicle’s life cycle, and the
  development of the Neue Klasse has seen BMW doubling down on its
  commitment to these objectives. From the development of a product, use
  of secondary materials, procurement of raw materials and production,
  to the product’s use phase and eventual recycling, the BMW Group
  adheres to consistently circular thinking. This engagement with
  circularity can also been seen across the BMW Group’s stands at IAA
  Mobility 2025. Around 80 per cent of the installations, fixtures and
  materials in the Open Space at Max-Joseph-Platz are either already
  being reused or have been procured explicitly for extended use at
  other events as well. Plants, robots, concrete barriers and much of
  the event technology have largely been hired. The presentation at the
  Summit involves an even greater commitment to reusing materials.
  Single usage is therefore restricted primarily to graphics and
  materials placed under heavy stresses, such as floor coverings and
  wall surfaces.</p>
<p>*<strong>Consumption and emissions figures:</strong>
  <br />The figures for fuel consumption, CO<sub>2</sub> emissions,
  electric power consumption and range refer to vehicles in the German
  market. All figures are calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle.
  Fuel consumption and emissions data refers to the German Passenger Car
  Energy Labelling Regulation (PKW-EnVKV).<br />

  <strong>Munich.</strong> The new BMW iX3 demonstrates the BMW Group's
  take on implementing a holistic approach to product sustainability
  across the entire life cycle. During product development, extensive
  measures were implemented throughout the supply chain, production and
  use phases, explicitly focused on conserving resources and reducing
  the model’s environmental footprint. As such, the Neue Klasse marks an
  important milestone toward achieving the company's 2030 and 2050 CO₂e targets.<br /> <br />

  results in an early break-even point: when charged with electricity
  from the European energy mix, the CO₂e footprint of the new BMW iX3 50
  xDrive is lower than that of a comparable model with a combustion
  engine after about 21,500 kilometers (WLTP combined). When charged
  exclusively with electricity from renewable sources, the BMW iX3 50
  xDrive beats the comparable ICE model after only 17,500 kilometers
  (WLTP combined), allowing customers to potentially achieve CO₂e
  benefits in as little as one year.<br />
  <br />
  <strong>Decarbonization in the supply chain</strong>
  <br />The key levers to reduce CO₂e emissions in the supply chain are
  the use of secondary materials and renewable energy, alongside product
  and process innovations. This combination of measures has led to a
  decrease of CO₂e emissions in the supply chain of 35% during product
  development.<br />The Gen6 battery cells of the BMW iX3 high-voltage
  storage system are made of 50% secondary cobalt, lithium, and nickel
  materials. In addition, renewable energies are harnessed in the anode
  and cathode materials and cell production. This is how CO₂e emissions
  per watt hour were reduced by 42% compared to the Gen5 cell of the
  previous model.</p>
<p>The BMW Group is increasingly focused on the use of innovative and
  secondary materials in other components as well. <br />For instance,
  30% of the secondary raw material  used for the engine compartment
  cover and the storage compartment under the front hatch is recycled
  maritime plastic. This post-consumer material consists of old fishing
  nets and ropes, preventing these materials from potentially being
  dumped in the ocean.<br />Secondary aluminum accounts for 80% of the
  wheel carriers and swivel bearings as well as 70% of the cast aluminum wheels.<br />
  <br />
  <strong>‘Design for Circularity’: consistent implementation in the
    Neue Klasse </strong>
  <br />The BMW Group applied the ‘Design for Circularity’ approach
  consistently in developing the BMW iX3. The approach builds on the
  concepts of secondary first (the prioritized use of secondary
  materials), strategic material selection and disassembly optimization.
  As a result, secondary materials account for one third of all material
  used in the new BMW iX3 50 xDrive.<br />One example of implementing
  these three concepts is the Econeer seat cover, available in the
  interior trim Essential, whose fabric, adhesive and fleece are all
  made from PET. This mono-material choice increases recyclability.
  Moreover, the textile yarn used consists entirely of recycled PET as
  well.<br />Other components whose development followed the ‘Design for
  Circularity’ approach include the center console, instrument panel and
  interior floor trim.<br />
  <br />
  <strong>Significantly improved efficiency in the use phase</strong>  
   <br />BMW EfficientDynamics involves consistently identifying and
  harnessing efficiency potential in all vehicle subsystems. Applying
  this approach, the energy consumption of the new BMW iX3 is 20% lower
  than in the predecessor model (WLTP combined).<br />This significant
  improvement is primarily based on optimized aerodynamic properties,
  reduced rolling resistance and on-board power consumption as well as
  the drive’s unparalleled combination of efficiency and dynamics. <br />
  <br />
  <strong>Sustainability-centric production at BMW Group’s Debrecen plant</strong>
  <br />Designed and built according to the BMW iFactory principles, the
  new BMW Group plant in Debrecen, Hungary, is fully focused on
  efficiency, digitalization and sustainability. It is the first BMW
  Group car factory that is operated and produces vehicles without using
  fossil fuels, such as oil and gas, under normal operating
  conditions.<br />The only energy source to power operations at the
  site is electricity. According to current planning, up to 25% of the
  plant's annual electricity needs can be covered by the photovoltaic
  system located on the premises. The remaining electricity is obtained
  from other renewable energy sources. Surplus solar energy is stored in
  a heat storage unit and used to heat the paint shop ovens as
  needed.<br />Only 0.1 tons of CO₂e are emitted in the production of a
  BMW iX3 car, about two third below production at other BMW Group plants.<br />
  <br />
  <strong>The BMW Group’s sustainability targets</strong>
  <br />The BMW Group's commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement and to
  achieving Net Zero by 2050 or earlier is an integral part of the
  comprehensive 360° sustainability approach incorporated in the
  corporate strategy. The company is pursuing ambitious, scientifically
  derived CO₂e targets for the coming years. For instance, the BMW Group
  intends to reduce its CO₂e emissions by at least 40 million tons in
  2030 (baseline: 2019).<br />
  <br />
  <strong>Publicly accessible, TÜV-verified Product Carbon Footprint </strong>
  <br />For years, the BMW Group has released its vehicle footprint,
  which includes a greenhouse gas report for its vehicles verified by
  Germany’s TÜV Technical Inspection Association. The report for the new
  BMW iX3 50 xDRIVE can be downloaded here and is also available in the
  My BMW app. It offers increased transparency regarding raw materials
  used and CO₂e emissions over the entire vehicle lifecycle.</p>

  <strong>+++ A l’occasion du BMW Art Car World Tour, pas moins de 10
    BMW Art Cars seront exposées du 8 au 12 octobre au Zoute Grand Prix
    à Knokke. Une célébration unique des 50 ans de mécénat international
    et d'engagement artistique de la marque. </strong>
  <strong>+++ </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>//</strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Bornem.</strong>
  <strong>Le « BMW Art Car World Tour » est un programme d'expositions
    historique organisé par le BMW Group sur les cinq continents, et
    célèbre les 50 ans d'engagement culturel et artistique de la marque
    à travers le monde. </strong>Après Hong Kong, Shangaï, Dubaï et
  Stockholm, le calendrier du plus grand projet d'exposition de
  l'histoire de la collection BMW Art Car se poursuit. Il fera escale en
  Belgique du 8 au 12 octobre, dans la ville balnéaire de Knokke-Heist à
  l’occasion du Zoute Grand Prix.</p>
<p>La collection de BMW Art Cars, qui compte désormais 20 pièces,
  retrace l’histoire de l’art des cinq dernières décennies :
  minimalisme, pop art, réalisme magique, abstraction, art conceptuel et
  art numérique. La collection BMW Art Car célèbre 50 ans de liberté
  artistique et de création visionnaire et certaines de ces celles-ci
  ont été utilisées dans le sport automobile. On peut citer la
  participation de la toute première BMW Art Car, conçue par Alexander
  Calder, aux 24 Heures du Mans en 1975, ou celle de l'hypercar de Julie
  Mehretu au Mans en 2024. À chaque fois, ces œuvres d'art roulantes
  témoignent de la fascination des artistes pour l'automobile, une
  combinaison d'art et de design, de technologie et d'innovation, de
  sport automobile et d'ingénierie.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Parmi les BMW Art Cars exposées à Knokke : </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>#1. Alexander Calder / BMW 3.0 CSL / 1975</strong></p>
<p>La première Art Car : la voiture avec laquelle tout a commencé, après
  que l'initiateur Hervé Poulain ait approché le sculpteur américain
  Alexander Calder. Poulain, qui fondera plus tard la maison de ventes
  aux enchères Artcurial, a personnellement participé aux 24 Heures du
  Mans avec cette voiture, il y a un demi-siècle cette année. On voit
  bien que cette voiture a vraiment couru, ce qui lui confère une patine particulière.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>#2. Frank Stella / BMW 3.0 CSL / 1976</strong></p>
<p>Un an plus tard, c'était au tour de Frank Stella de concevoir cette
  BMW 3.0 CSL « noir et blanc » très reconnaissable. Stella s'est
  inspiré de la technologie de la voiture pour développer un jeu de
  lignes épuré sur un fond qui rappelle le papier à dessin technique.
  Cette voiture a également été utilisée pour la course.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>#3. Roy Lichtenstein / BMW 320i Turbo / 1977</strong></p>
<p>La voiture avec les « Ben Day dots » caractéristiques de l'icône du
  pop art Roy Lichtenstein. L'artiste américain a conçu sur la voiture
  une sorte de paysage qui semble bouger, renforçant ainsi l'impression
  de vitesse.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>#4. Andy Warhol / BMW M1 / 1979</strong></p>
<p>Sans aucun doute l'une des Art Cars les plus célèbres et les plus
  précieuses : la « Warhol M1 ». Contrairement à ses prédécesseurs, le
  plus célèbre artiste pop art de l'histoire n'a pas d'abord peint une
  maquette, mais a directement appliqué environ six kilos de peinture
  sur la M1. La rapidité avec laquelle il a peint (la légende raconte
  que Warhol a réalisé cette œuvre en 28 minutes) symbolisait la vitesse
  à laquelle cette M1 allait prendre les virages...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>#6. Robert Rauschenberg / BMW 635 CSi / 1986</strong></p>
<p>La n° 6 de la série BMW Art Car est l'œuvre d'un autre pionnier du
  pop art (et à nouveau américain), Robert Rauschenberg. Contrairement à
  certaines de ses prédécesseurs, cette BMW, une 635 CSi, n'a jamais
  participé à une course. En revanche, c'est la seule BMW Art Car à
  avoir réellement roulé dans la circulation quotidienne, conduite par
  Rauschenberg lui-même. Il a créé son œuvre à partir d'œuvres d'autres
  artistes, qu'il a retravaillées à l'aide de techniques
  photographiques, puis appliquées à l'aide d'un film plastique sur la
  carrosserie du coupé BMW. Il en a résulté les collages si
  caractéristiques du style de Rauschenberg.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>#10. César Manrique / BMW 730i / 1990</strong></p>
<p>En 1990, l'avant-gardiste espagnol Manrique s'est attaqué à une BMW
  série 7. Si les spectateurs reconnaissent des éléments de la nature
  dans les couleurs vives et les formes abstraites de la carrosserie,
  ils ont raison, car Manrique s'est inspiré de l'île subtropicale
  espagnole de Lanzarote. L'élément noir du design représente la roche
  volcanique des îles Canaries, le vert symbolise la forêt et le rouge
  la vie. Les formes fluides reflètent également ce que Manrique
  considère comme essentiel pour une voiture : transporter rapidement
  ses occupants.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>#12. Esther Mahlangu / BMW 525i / 1991</strong></p>
<p>Il a fallu attendre 16 ans pour qu'une femme dessine pour la première
  fois une BMW Art Car. Le design de la BMW Série 5 par Esther Mahlangu
  est considéré comme un hommage à la culture africaine. Il fait
  spécifiquement référence à « la façon dont ma tribu décore ses maisons
  », comme l'explique Mahlangu, connue sous le nom de motif Ndebele. Une
  tradition transmise de génération en génération, exclusivement entre
  femmes. L'artiste sud-africaine a travaillé une semaine sur la
  voiture, qui n'a plus roulé depuis.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>#14. David Hockney / BMW 850 CSi / 1995</strong></p>
<p>BMW a dû insister longtemps auprès de David Hockney avant qu'il
  n'accepte de créer une Art Car. Sa BMW 850 CSi était en outre le
  résultat d'un long processus de conception, car il ne s'agissait pas
  seulement d'appliquer un peu de peinture, comme l'expliquait l'artiste
  pop. Au lieu de cela, il a pratiquement démonté la voiture dans son
  tableau et l'a complètement retournée. Il a ainsi mis en évidence ce
  qui, selon lui, se cache sous la peau de la voiture, la carrosserie, à
  savoir la technologie fascinante.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>#17. Jeff Koons / BMW M3 GT2 / 2010</strong></p>
<p>Une exposition BMW Art Cars au Zoute Grand Prix ne serait pas
  complète sans cette œuvre de Jeff Koons qui attire tous les regards !
  Avec cette voiture, Koons est revenu au pop art et donc aux racines de
  la collection BMW Art Car. Chaque fibre de la carrosserie de cette BMW
  M3 GT2 semble crier « Je suis rapide ! ». Les éléments de couleur vive
  semblent voler sur cette voiture. Même à l'arrêt, elle semble sur le
  point de bondir ; elle déborde de puissance. En 2010, cette voiture a
  pris le départ des 24 Heures du Mans, où elle a été la coqueluche du
  public – une autre façon pour cette œuvre de Koons de faire le lien
  avec ses prédécesseurs de la série BMW Art Car.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>#20. Julie Mehretu / BMW M Hybrid V8 / 2024</strong></p>
<p>Nous exposerons la plus ancienne Art Car (celle d'Alexander Calder
  datant de 1975), nous voulions donc absolument avoir la plus récente à
  ses côtés ! Peu après la première de cette 20e BMW Art Car, la BMW M
  Hybrid V8 de Julie Mehretu a pris le départ du Mans avec le numéro 20
  correspondant. Pour le design, l'artiste a voulu créer un terrain de
  jeu pour l'imagination. Son idée : à quoi ressemblerait une peinture
  si la voiture traversait l'œuvre ? Mehretu a basé son design sur la
  couleur et la forme de son tableau « Everywhen » : des photos
  déformées, des grilles pointillées, de la peinture néon pulvérisée et
  ses coups de pinceau iconiques. Au cours du processus créatif, cela a
  été transformé en une représentation tridimensionnelle grâce à un
  habillage complet de la BMW M Hybrid V8.</p>

  <strong>Munich.</strong> The BMW Group has brought the Dentsu media
  agency on board to kickstart its new European media strategy for the
  BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad brands. From 1 January 2026, Dentsu will
  also support the BMW Group globally. This means that the expertise of
  Dentsu – one of the world’s leading marketing and communications
  agencies – will be used to create a uniform and powerful media
  presence. As part of the new constellation, media and marketing
  approaches are being adapted to the requirements of digitalisation and
  sustainability. The focus here is on artificial intelligence (AI),
  centralised data management, hybrid teams and integrated platforms
  (media hubs). The aim is to make campaigns more efficient, more
  targeted and more responsible.</p>
<p>“I am personally very excited to have Dentsu as our new media agency
  partner. Together we are entering a new chapter for a communication
  truly focused on the European customer,” says Uwe Dreher, Vice
  President Marketing BMW Europe, and adds: “Our goal to act in a highly
  data-driven and targeted multi-channel and multiple market planning
  approach elevated via state-of-the-art AI tools to increase efficiency
  and impact has been reached – the execution will accelerate marketing
  Return on Investment for our markets even further. BMW Marketing
  Europe is excited to be launching our Neue Klasse in this new constellation.”</p>
<p>
  <strong>Tailor-made communications for the Neue Klasse
  era.<br /></strong>The aim of the call for tenders was to ensure
  seamless, brand-compliant BMW Group communications across all media
  channels – at both the national and international level. Awarding the
  European media business to Dentsu is an important step towards
  implementing the European media strategy. The consolidation of media
  activities forms the basis of a standardised solution across all of
  Europe. The launch of the new agency constellation coincides with the
  market launch of the Neue Klasse and marks a new era, characterised by
  highly innovative vehicle technologies on the one hand and a
  fundamentally new understanding of the brand and communications on the
  other. The new media approach reflects this transformation.</p>
<p>
  <strong>AI-controlled, with a centralised European media hub.</strong></p>
<p>The comprehensive use of artificial intelligence will be a key
  factor. Advanced AI tools will bring even greater precision to media
  planning. Target groups will be recognised and reached more accurately
  and decisions made on the basis of concrete data – measurable
  performance indicators. This will verifiably increase the real-time
  effectiveness and efficiency of advertising across all customer touchpoints.</p>
<p>Another key element of the new set-up is the creation of an
  integrated media hub. Online and offline media will be seamlessly
  combined on this platform. This enables cross-channel synergies to be
  recognised and exploited. It helps ensure transparency and makes for
  efficient planning and implementation. Centralisation enables
  consolidated control of all activities and channels as well as
  centralised data analysis. Even so, there will always be room for
  localisation: national market conditions and cultural specifics – and
  differentiated responses to them – are additional factors for success.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Integration of all BMW Group brands.</strong></p>
<p>The new media strategy follows a multi-brand approach: BMW, MINI and
  BMW Motorrad will be looked at in combination. This creates new
  opportunities for optimisation across the various media, supported by
  hybrid teams combining on‑shore, near-shore and off-shore expertise.
  This know-how from many international markets creates additional
  flexibility and quality in implementation and is a response to the
  rapidly changing requirements in the international media business.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Customer focus: media optimisation along the entire customer
  journey.<br /></strong>The new model consistently focuses on the
  customer journey – from the first impulse, the first encounter, all
  the way to vehicle purchase. Target groups are addressed more
  precisely, delivering even greater emotional and situation-specific
  impact. The transition to a more performance-focused planning
  approach, where factors such as real-time data and sales targets play
  a key role, significantly increases the measurable impact of media
  communications. At the same time, the planning approach supports
  direct sales and aids the transformation towards a sustainable retail model.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Sustainability and responsibility in media
  communications.<br /></strong>Another key consideration in the BMW
  Group’s choice of agency partner was sustainability. This aspect was
  systematically integrated into the evaluation of potential agency
  partners. Examples include production processes marked by a reduced
  carbon footprint and ethically transparent media bookings.<br />

  an update for the My BMW App and MINI App +++ The driver’s carbon
  impact is based on their vehicle’s footprint and routes they have
  driven +++ Available for selected models with all types of drive
  system +++<br />
  <br />
  <strong>Munich.</strong> The BMW Group is now offering customers even
  broader scope for personalising analysis of their driving stats in the
  My BMW App and MINI App. The latest update, available from June, will
  allow drivers to view their personal carbon footprint for the first
  time. Almost three years after My Trips was launched to help drivers
  evaluate their journeys, this function will now also provide data on
  the emissions those trips are producing.</p>
<p>“Our usage research shows: The information in My Trips is one of the
  most popular features in the app,” says Dirk Wiedmann. “We are now
  expanding this successful function with carbon footprint calculation,
  giving our customers simple and straightforward access to
  sustainability-related information via a popular and widely used channel.”</p>
<p>
  <strong>Emissions from vehicle production and use: two sets of figures
    make up the driver’s personal footprint.</strong>
  <br />The personal carbon footprint function has been designed with a
  technology-open approach and is available for vehicles with combustion
  engines, as well as plug-in hybrid and fully electric models. At
  launch, this feature will be rolled out across selected models in
  various European countries *. Calculation of the personal footprint is
  based on two central sets of figures.</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <strong>Emissions from vehicle use:</strong> My Trips analyses the
    routes the driver has completed and uses the energy consumed in the
    process to work out the CO<sub>2</sub> emitted. To this end,
    CO<sub>2 </sub>equivalents are calculated using data from the
    International Energy Agency (IEA). For vehicles with combustion
    engines, the app calculates the amount of CO<sub>2</sub> emitted
    based on the fuel consumed. For battery-electric vehicles, it shows
    the emissions generated when using the average national energy mix –
    and also tells the driver how high emissions would be by comparison
    if green energy were used.</li>
  <li>
    <strong>Emissions from vehicle production:</strong> These are
    emissions generated during the manufacturing process. Emissions are
    recorded from the processing of raw materials, procurement of
    materials, transport logistics and the production of the model at
    hand. The BMW Group already sets out the emissions figures for
    numerous models in the form of Vehicle Footprint Reports. These are
    calculated according to recognised standards for life cycle
    assessments and certified by the TÜV Rheinland agency. They can also
      be <a href="https://www.bmwgroup.com/en/download-centre.html">downloaded</a> from
    the BMW Group website.</li></ul>
<p>
  <strong>Ready for electric mobility: My BMW App helps with the transition.</strong></p>
<p>The My BMW App also includes the Electric Vehicle Analysis introduced
  last summer. This function allows customers whose BMW is powered by a
  combustion engine to simulate how well a fully electric BMW fits their
  personal driving profile. Here, the customer selects an electric BMW
  model as an alternative vehicle in the app. Once the
  combustion-engined model has made at least 200 journeys and covered a
  distance of 2,000 kilometres (over 1,240 miles), the analysis shows
  the journeys the user could have completed on a single charge with the
  electric vehicle selected, and also flags up charging stations close
  to frequently visited destinations. More than 100,000 customers had
  used this analysis by May 2025.</p>
<p>Over 14 million customers around the world use the My BMW App and
  MINI App. The My Trips function is available in more than 90 countries
  and is actively used by 1.9 million users.</p>
<p>* The new function will only be available to users of selected
  vehicles for which a TÜV-certified carbon footprint has been
  calculated. This feature will launch in Germany, Austria, Belgium,
  France, Luxemburg, the Netherlands and Switzerland, and be available
  in the BMW 1 Series (key number 81GE), BMW 2 Series (31GH), BMW X2
  (71GM, 21GM), BMW X3 (11GR, 31GP, 65GP), BMW 5 Series (31FK, 11JF,
  71FJ), BMW 5 Series Touring (11HH, 11GW, 21GV), BMW M5 (81FK) and BMW
  iX (41CF) and MINI Cooper (11GC), MINI Cooper C (11GD), MINI Aceman
  (31GC) and MINI Countryman (41GA, 11GA).<br />

  <p>
    <strong>Munich/Miramas. </strong>The development of the first Neue
    Klasse series production model is on the finishing straight:
    prototypes of the next-generation BMW iX3 are currently undergoing
    extensive testing in Miramas, southern France. The Sports Activity
    Vehicle (SAV) will celebrate its world premiere at the IAA Mobility
    2025 in Munich in September and roll off the production line at the
    new BMW Group plant in Debrecen (Hungary) starting at the end of the
    year. “Longer range, faster charging, an all-new display and
    operating concept, and the intelligence of four superbrains are the
    distinguishing features of the Neue Klasse. With the upcoming BMW
    iX3 – the first model of the new car generation – we are introducing
    fundamental technology upgrades with the clear aim of raising the
    typical BMW driving pleasure to a whole new level,” says Mike
    Reichelt, Head of Neue Klasse BMW. “With the all-new BMW iX3, we
    bring our revolutionary technologyies into series production for the
    first time, and we can hardly wait to see it in action on the road.
    All future BMW models, regardless of powertrain type, will benefit
    from the innovations and technology clusters of the Neue Klasse."<br />
    <br />The new technologies at a glance:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>The revolutionary display and operating concept <strong>BMW
        Panoramic iDrive</strong> provides perfect driver orientation
      and sets yet another new benchmark.</li>
    <li>Charge faster, drive further: the all-electric <strong>6th
        generation powertrain (Gen6)</strong> sets standards in
      performance and efficiency. The new BMW iX3 <a name="_Hlk198895143"></a>50 xDrive has an electric range of up
        to <strong>800km (WLTP)*(CLTC: 900km* / EPA 400
      mls*) </strong>and can be charged to provide a range of more
        than <strong>350km maximum in just 10 minutes*</strong>.</li>
    <li>The <strong>Heart of Joy</strong> control computer and
        the <strong>BMW Dynamic Performance Control</strong> software
      stack raise the dynamic potential of electric powertrains to a new level.</li></ul>
  <p>
    <strong>
      <br />BMW Panoramic iDrive: “Hands on the Wheel, Eyes on the Road”.<br />
      <br /></strong>The BMW Panoramic iDrive shows all relevant driving
    information in the driver’s ideal line of sight and maximizes
    ergonomic efficiency and safety. Four elements come together to make
    a unique user experience:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>
      <strong>BMW Panoramic Vision:</strong> information is projected
      onto a black printed surface in the windscreen from A-pillar to A-pillar.</li>
    <li>
      <strong>3D Head-Up Display:</strong> the optional BMW 3D Head-Up
      Display projects information for navigation and automated driving
      into the driver’s direct field of vision above the BMW Panoramic
      Vision Display.</li>
    <li>
      <strong>Central Display with matrix backlight
      technology:</strong> the free-cut-design display is in an
      ergonomically ideal position near the steering wheel.</li>
    <li>
      <strong>Shy-tech multifunction steering wheel: </strong>buttons
      are illuminated when functions are available; relief-like
      structure and active haptic feedback enable intuitive operation
      without the driver having to take his or her eyes off the road.</li></ul>
  <p>
    <br />The BMW Panoramic iDrive runs under the <strong>BMW Operating
      System X</strong>, also a new development<strong>.</strong> It
    offers extensive customizability, intelligent support for the driver
    and extensive software updates. BMW’s motto <strong>“Hands on the
      Wheel, Eyes on the Road”</strong> is redefined with a
    well-balanced mix of physical controls and digital functions. BMW
    Panoramic iDrive will ensure user-friendly and intuitive operation
    in every vehicle segment and with every powertrain concept.<br />
    <br />
    <strong>Next generation of electric powertrains. </strong>The
    high-voltage battery concept for the 6th generation of BMW eDrive
    technology (Gen6) is fundamentally new, and together with the
    revised electric drive system portfolio, offers an optimum solution
    for all vehicle segments. The Gen6 system will be making its debut
    in the BMW iX3 and will then be rolled out across all vehicle
    segments.<br />The centerpiece of the high-voltage battery – the BMW
    cylindrical battery cell – has an energy density of 20 per cent
    greater that the prismatic cells previously used. The cells are
    integrated directly into the high-voltage battery, which plays an
    important role in the body structure of Neue Klasse models.<br />
    <br />
    <strong>Charge faster, drive further.<br /></strong>The Gen6
    introduces a major leap forward for our customers and the BMW iX3 is
    the first to benefit. With 400kW maximum charging, our customers can
    add over 350km* maximum (WLTP) to their vehicle’s range in just 10
    minutes. Gen6 technology allows users to monitor the charging
    performance and curve live via the My BMW App. 800V technology is
    paving the way for rapid charging. Charging at 400V DC charging
    stations will, of course, still be possible.<br />The high energy
    content of the high-voltage battery, together with the efficient
    design of the powertrain and the overall vehicle, enables a range of
    up to 800km (WLTP). <em>
      <br />
      <br /></em>
    <strong>Further charging-related innovations.<br /></strong>Making
    the charging process even more user friendly is the intelligent
    charging flap, which detects when the driver is intending to stop to
    charge the car and opens (and then closes) automatically. One of the
    triggers for opening the flap is AI-assisted: if the customer
    approaches a familiar or learned charging point, the progress
    towards it reveals an intention to charge and the flap opens.<br />
    <br />The SoP of the new BMW iX3 will also introduce extensive
    bidirectional charging functions – to-Load, to-Home and
    to-Grid:<br />Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) turns the vehicle into a
    powerful mobile powerbank (up to 3.7kW in Europe) and supplies
    energy for one or several consumers, wherever customers need it.
    Bidirectional charging capability turns the BMW iX3 into an at-home
    energy storage unit. Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) helps customers to reduce
    costs. Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) sets new standards for the integration
    of the vehicle into the energy market. Both functions contribute to
    lowering emissions and increasing the use of regenerative energy
    sources. In this way, the BMW Group demonstrates that it is part of
    the solution as we work towards energy transformation.<br />
    <br />Providing the key to bidirectional charging alongside the
    technology involved, the new BMW Wallbox (DC) offers 19.2kW charging
    and discharging depending on the market. The BMW charging equipment
    has been redesigned and is now easier to use, and now also includes
    selected adapters e.g. for vehicle-to-load (V2L) use cases.<br />
    <br />
    <strong>The BMW driving experience with the Heart of Joy. The level
      in sheer driving pleasure.<br /></strong>The
      "superbrain" <strong>Heart of Joy</strong> in the Neue
    Klasse raises driving dynamics to a new level. Together with
      the <strong>BMW Dynamic Performance Control</strong> software
    stack, the Heart of Joy is pivotal to powertrain, brakes,
    recuperation and sub-functions of the steering system. It processes
    information ten times faster* than previous systems and therefore
    responds more directly than ever to the driver’s command.<br />
    <br />Fewer control inputs are required, directional stability is
    more precise and stable. As a result, the vehicle develops
    consistent and reproducible cornering characteristics and can be
    steered intuitively.<br />
    <br />Powertrain and braking functions also work together
    harmoniously to decelerate the vehicle. Recuperation can be used
    across the whole speed range down to a standstill. Indeed, in 98
    percent of cases, the vehicle can be brought to a standstill without
    applying the friction brakes – without noise or jolts.<br />
    <br />The Heart of Joy and BMW Dynamic Performance Control raise the
    BMW driving experience to a new level – from standstill to dynamic limits.<br />
    <strong>
      <br />Further development of driver assistance systems using the
      intelligent high-performance computer “Superbrain of Automated
    Driving”<br /></strong>BMW Group’s latest driver assistance systems
    are among the world’s best. The new BMW iX3 ushers in the rollout of
    the next technology generation. This is in keeping with BMW’s ADAS
    (Advanced Driver Assistance System) philosophy: “Always smart,
    symbiotic, and safe”.<br />
    <br />The BMW Group merges the proven, rule-based assistance system
    with a new system based on AI. In an optimum symbiosis, this
    combination supports the driver even more precisely and reliably in
    challenging situations on the road. The Superbrain of Automated
    Driving pools all customer functions for automated driving and has a
    20 times faster processing speed than the previous system. The new
    automated driving and parking functions are based on cutting-edge
    sensor, software, processor, and mobile communications technology.<br />
    <br />The basic model of the BMW iX3 offers functions like lane
    change warning, road priority warning, safe exit, and assisted view.
    Safe exit uses side-mounted radars to monitor traffic next to the
    car while stopping and warns the driver of approaching objects. The
    new Assisted View shows the latest driving situation precisely and
    in detail alternatively in the Central Display, the Panoramic
    Vision, or 3D Head-Up Display. The motorway assistant with automatic
    lane change will be available with extended features in the BMW iX3.
    Upon request, it can assist drivers from when they join a motorway
    to when they leave it and allow drivers to take their hands off the
    steering wheel for long periods. This assistant remains active even
    during automated motorway changes along an active navigation route.
    The new Motorway & City Assistant helps the driver in complex
    driving situations in urban areas, e.g. through tight corners or
    roundabouts. It brakes automatically at red traffic lights and moves
    off again or sounds an audible signal when lights turn green.<br />
    <br />Symbiotic driver assistance, as it is known, enables perfect
    interaction between tech and driver regarding both comfort and
    safety functions, and creates a seamless transition between
    cooperative steering and – a world first – cooperative braking.<br />
    <br />When the function is active, the driver can influence the
    system at any time without causing the assistant to be switched off
    by turning the steering wheel or applying brakes just a little in
    order to adjust the responses of the system.<br />
    <br />The parking functions can be activated intuitively and offer
    an AI-based selection of parking assistance services, parking space
    recognition, maneuver planning, and an improved parking experience.
    Extended monitoring functions help the driver to avoid damage to the
    vehicle while parking the car.<br />
    <br />
    <strong>Neue Klasse innovations are AI-based, smart and
    update-compatible. </strong>Thanks to the all-new electronics and
    software architecture with four superbrains (high-performance
    computers), the new BMW iX3 is now noticeably more intelligent in
    everyday situations – e.g. with the advanced driver assistance
    systems and improved voice assistant BMW Intelligent Personal
    Assistant. Due to the powerful BMW Cloud, the new electronics and
    software architecture of the new vehicle generation is ready for
    numerous smart features, which customers can benefit from via
    over-the-air updates after the market launch.<br />
    <em>
      <br /></em>A large number of the patent applications filed by BMW
    in recent years have come about as part of the development of
    technologies for the Neue Klasse – e.g. in the projection technology
    for the BMW Panoramic Vision, in the innovative control functions of
    the Heart of Joy, in the battery management and cell contacting
    system of the high-voltage battery, in the new electric motor, and
    in the new, zonal vehicle electrical system. <em>

  <strong>Debrecen. </strong>The future BMW Group plant in the Hungarian
  city of Debrecen is on the finish straight as the ramp-up of the
  assembly line sees the heart of the plant come to life. This is the
  beating heart of all the technologies in the plant, and also where the
  most employees work. The assembly launch thus marks the reaching of
  another milestone.</p>
<p>“Our highly efficient and ergonomic assembly line immediately started
  running without any issues,” said Hans-Peter Kemser, Managing Director
  BMW Group Plant Debrecen. “We achieved this thanks to virtual planning
  and tests, as well as the outstanding collaboration between our new,
  highly motivated employees in Debrecen and our experts within the BMW
  Group’s global production network.”</p>
<p>In assembly, the individual components and systems are installed in
  the painted body – at the end of the process, a car ready to drive
  rolls off the production line. The innovative vehicle architecture of
  the Neue Klasse opens totally new possibilities with regard to
  assembly: greater efficiency thanks to modularisation, fewer different
  connecting elements, and a simplified installation of the wiring
  harness. An innovative cockpit assembly also accelerates the process.</p>
<p>The BMW Group Plant Debrecen is already producing test vehicles for
  the first model of the Neue Klasse: the new BMW iX3.* Thus, the new
  plant is gradually ramping up for series production.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Neue Klasse allows simple, fast assembly process</strong></p>
<p>A number of features of the Neue Klasse are new territory for
  everyone. Unlike in previous models, the cable harness is divided into
  multiple parts, making it easier and more ergonomic to install. The
  zonal wiring harness architecture requires 600 fewer metres of wiring
  and weighs 30 percent less than the previous generation.</p>
<p>On the other hand, some components are modularised when one module is
  formed from many small individual parts. The variation of connecting
  elements has also been radically reduced for the Neue Klasse. This in
  turn reduces the number of different plugs, screws and clips. All of
  this makes assembly significantly more simple. </p>
<p>Furthermore, with the Neue Klasse, a wide range of quality checks can
  be performed digitally whilst still on the production line. This
  procedure will also be implemented at other sites after its initial
  use in Debrecen. The next point of use will be the home plant in
  Munich, which will produce the sedan model of the Neue Klasse as of 2026.</p>
<p>The innovative cockpit assembly accelerates processes at Plant
  Debrecen. It is one of the most compact in the BMW Group’s production
  network, yet still allows full flexibility and variety. As at Plant
  Lydia in China, cockpit pre-assembly is located right next to the main
  line. Once the cockpit has been pre-assembled, it is then installed
  directly in the vehicle just a few metres ahead.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Assembly in Debrecen adopts innovations from existing plants</strong></p>
<p>When planning the new production site in Hungary, the BMW Group used
  a completely virtual design process. In line with the principles of
  the BMW iFACTORY, the tried-and-tested standards and high-tech
  solutions from existing plants were referred to many times. For
  example, many ideas and proven structures from Plant Lydia in China
  and Plant Leipzig can be found in the assembly in Debrecen.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Further development of the finger structure from Leipzig</strong></p>
<p>These structures include the so-called finger structure, or comb
  structure, which the BMW Group developed specifically for Plant
  Leipzig, which opened in 2005. This structure allows supply parts and
  preassembled modules to be transported directly to the assembly lines.
  A record proportion of parts, up to 80%, can be delivered directly in
  Debrecen, as the fingers will enjoy logistics supply from both sides
  for the first time. This is the highest ratio in the BMW Group’s
  production network. The finger structure allows subsequent extension
  and the integration of further assembly steps – flexibility is a
  characteristic of production at the BMW Group.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Production processes, as at Plant Lydia in China</strong></p>
<p>Plant Lydia in China was also an inspiration for many structures and
  processes in the assembly. The plant opened in 2022 and was the first
  BMW Group site to be completely planned and simulated in the virtual
  world from the outset. The shop floor for the assembly line and
  complete conveyor system in Debrecen are set up identically.
  Therefore, the technology was available quickly and had already been
  tried and tested, simplifying the commissioning of a completely new
  production line.</p>
<p>Series production of the new BMW iX3 set to start at the BMW Group
  Plant Debrecen in late 2025. The Hungarian plant has been designed
  specifically for the production of all-electric vehicles. As with the
  start of any new model or new plant, production capacities are
  increased gradually after start of production. The site in Debrecen
  will be the first automobile plant in the BMW Group to operate
  entirely without the use of fossil fuels.</p>
<p>
  <br />*Since this is a pre-production model, consumption data for the
  new BMW iX3 is not available at this time.</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Contact presse: Jeroen Lissens<br>Tél: +32-3-890-9708<br>Adresse e-mail: <a href="mailto:jeroen.lissens@bmw.be">jeroen.lissens@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,Research &amp; Development,BMW i,Production,iX3,Debrecen,Product,BMW]]></category>

  <p>
    <strong>Dingolfing.</strong> Today, the model update of the
    all-electric BMW iX celebrated its start of production at the BMW
    Group plant in Dingolfing. The electric pioneer, which has been
    manufactured at the site since 2021 and has since been sold over
    130,000 units worldwide, receives a comprehensive update in March
    2025 - offering increased performance, range and sportiness.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>BMW's longest-range electric model.</strong></p>
  <p>The new BMW iX impresses with up to 25% higher drive power,
    significantly improved efficiency and a range of up to 701
    kilometers in the WLTP cycle (BMW iX xDrive60: WLTP combined
    (EnVKV): Energy consumption 21.9 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions 0 g/km;
    CO2 class A). The BMW iX is thus the most long-range electric model
    in the BMW Group's portfolio and the company's most important
    all-electric new model in 2025 - before the "New Class"
    makes its debut at the end of the year.</p>
  <p>The new BMW iX also presents a more dynamic design than ever
    before: The vehicle is now available with the M Sport package and M
    Sport Pro package for the first time, which enhance the sporty
    appearance both inside and out. New exterior colours such as Arctic
    Race Blue metallic, Dune Grey metallic, Carbon Black metallic, BMW
    Individual Frozen Deep Grey metallic, BMW Individual Frozen Pure
    Grey metallic, Tanzanite Blue metallic and Space Silver are also offered.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Pioneering the All-Electric Era in Dingolfing.</strong></p>
  <p>Plant Manager Christoph Schröder states: "The BMW iX is a
    special vehicle for us. Four years ago, at its launch, it paved the
    way for many future technologies here on-site. And: It marked the
    beginning of the all-electric vehicle era in our plant."
    Meanwhile, a total of four electric models - the BMW iX, the BMW i7,
    and the all-electric versions of the 5 Series sedan and Touring -
    are being produced at the Lower Bavarian site, along with five
    plug-in hybrids. The BMW iX plays a crucial role in the model
    program of the entire company in the segment of all-electric
    mid-size and upper-class SAVs.</p></div>

<p>
  <strong>//</strong></p>
<p>À l’avant-garde de la mobilité électrique, la BMW iX a établi une
  combinaison unique de luxe progressiste et de plaisir de conduire sans
  émissions locales. La nouvelle édition du Sports Activity Vehicle
  (SAV), conçue exclusivement pour la conduite tout électrique,
  réaffirme son ambition d'être leader grâce avec une augmentation des
  performances de conduite alliée à une autonomie considérablement
  accrue. La nouvelle BMW iX atteint désormais une autonomie WLTP de
  700 kilomètres (435 miles), un chiffre exceptionnel dans
  l’environnement concurrentiel. Il s’agit là d’un exemple fascinant de
  plus de l'efficacité du pack de mesures et de technologies
  BMW EfficientDynamics. Les innovations dans le domaine de la
  technologie BMW eDrive vont de pair avec des modifications spécifiques
  du design extérieur et intérieur, qui mettent en avant le caractère
  sportif de la nouvelle BMW iX.</p>
<p>Grâce au développement constant de l’électronique de performance et
  au réglage de précision des roulements de roue et des pneus,
  notamment, la consommation de carburant dans le cycle d’essai WLTP
  réglementaire a été améliorée de plus de 8 % (meilleur des cas, selon
  le modèle et l’équipement). Dans le cas de la nouvelle
  BMW iX xDrive60, cela se traduit par une augmentation de l’autonomie
  d’environ 60 kilomètres (37 miles).</p>
<p>Les nouvelles désignations de modèles reflètent les performances
  supplémentaires de la BMW iX. Elle sera disponible dès le
  printemps 2025 sous la forme de la BMW iX xDrive45 (consommation en
  cycle mixte selon WLTP : 21,8 kWh/100 km (62 miles) ; classe de
  CO<sub>2 </sub>: A), de la BMW iX xDrive60 (consommation en cycle
  mixte selon WLTP : 21,9 kWh/100 km (62 miles) ; classe de
  CO<sub>2 </sub>: A) et de la BMW iX M70 xDrive (consommation en cycle
  mixte selon WLTP : 23,5 kWh/100 km (62 miles) ; classe de
  CO<sub>2 </sub>: A), et ce dans le monde entier. Les principaux
  marchés de la nouvelle BMW iX sont les États-Unis, le Royaume-Uni et
  l'Allemagne. La voiture continuera d’être produite à l’usine BMW Group
  de Dingolfing. La plus grande usine de production de BMW Group en
  Europe est le centre de compétence de l'entreprise pour la fabrication
  d'entraînements électriques, mais aussi l'usine principale dédiée aux
  modèles haut de gamme et de luxe.</p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Extérieur : une présence saisissante, pack M Sport comme
    option inédite.</strong></p>
<p>L’extérieur de la nouvelle BMW iX affiche une présence expressive et
  une allure monolithique avec des proportions SAV caractéristiques, un
  langage de design réduit à l’essentiel et des surfaces clairement
  définies. Le design saisissant de l'avant se caractérise en
  particulier par la calandre BMW redessinée avec un cadre
  particulièrement fin et une structure de lignes verticales et
  diagonales à l'intérieur. La calandre BMW Iconic Glow avec éclairage
  de contour (de série sur la nouvelle BMW iX M70 xDrive) est désormais
  disponible en tant que nouvelle option.</p>
<p>Les phares ont également été redessinés avec des éléments verticaux
  pour les feux de jour et les clignotants. L’équipement de série de la
  nouvelle BMW iX comprend des phares adaptatifs à LED avec fonction
  d’éclairage de virage et des feux urbains inédits. La structure de la
  calandre BMW se reflète dans les lignes diagonales des protège-phares.</p>
<p>Les jupes avant et arrière de la nouvelle BMW iX présentent un design
  quasiment homogène et une plus grande proportion de surfaces peintes
  dans la couleur de la carrosserie, leur conférant de série un look
  sportif et élégant. Le pack M Sport, désormais disponible en option
  sur le SAV tout électrique, accentue le caractère dynamique du
  véhicule avec des lignes puissantes, des prises d’air fascinantes à
  l’avant et des réflecteurs verticaux à l’arrière.</p>
<p>En association avec le pack M Sport Pro en option, la nouvelle BMW iX
  est équipée de phares et de feux arrière sombres M Shadow Line. Le
  modèle phare de la série se distingue encore plus que les autres
  variantes. La nouvelle BMW iX M70 xDrive est dotée de série des
  éléments de design du pack M Sport et du pack M Sport Pro, dont une
  calandre BMW spécifique au modèle avec logo M, des coques de
  rétroviseurs noires et des jantes exclusives M en alliage léger de 22 pouces.</p>
<p>La gamme comprend également les nouvelles finitions Arctic Race Blue
  metallic, Dune Grey metallic, Carbon Black metallic, BMW Individual
  Frozen Deep Grey metallic, BMW Individual Frozen Pure Grey metallic,
  Tanzanite Blue metallic et Space Silver metallic (disponible à partir
  de l’été 2025). La gamme d’équipements BMW Individual Exterior Line
  Titanium Bronze est également disponible en option pour la
  BMW iX xDrive45 et la BMW iX xDrive60.</p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Amélioration des performances pour toutes les variantes de modèle.</strong></p>
<p>Avec un moteur électrique sur les essieux avant et arrière, toutes
  les variantes de la nouvelle BMW iX sont équipées d’une transmission
  intégrale électrique. Le système d’entraînement a été affiné et
  l’électronique de puissance a été perfectionnée pour fournir une
  puissance nettement supérieure. La nouvelle BMW iX xDrive45 offre une
  puissance accrue de 60 kW/82 ch pour atteindre 300 kW/408 ch. Cette
  puissance supplémentaire se traduit par une amélioration de
  1,0 seconde de l'accélération de zéro à 100 km/h (62 mph), qui passe à
  5,1 secondes. La nouvelle BMW iX xDrive60 voit sa puissance augmenter
  de 15 kW/21 ch pour atteindre 400 kW/544 ch et passe de 0 à 100 km/h
  (62 mph) en 4,6 secondes. La vitesse maximale des deux modèles est
  limitée électroniquement à 200 km/h (124 mph).</p>
<p>Plus que jamais, la nouvelle BMW iX M70 xDrive propose des
  performances particulièrement fascinantes. L’entraînement du véhicule
  BMW M délivre 30 kW/40 ch jusqu’à 485 kW/659 ch en My Mode Sport et un
  couple maximal de 1100 Nm (811 ft-lb), disponible lorsque le Launch
  Control est activé. La nouvelle BMW iX M70 xDrive accélère de 0 à
  100 km/h (62 mph) en 3,8 secondes. En utilisant la méthode du « 1-foot
  rollout »*, le temps de sprint pour passer à 100 km/h (62 mph) s’élève
  à 3,5 secondes. La nouvelle BMW iX M70 xDrive atteint une vitesse de
  pointe de 250 km/h (155 mph).</p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Unique sur ce segment : une autonomie de 700 kilomètres (435 miles).</strong></p>
<p>La nouvelle technologie de cellules de batterie augmente le contenu
  énergétique de la batterie haute tension de la BMW iX xDrive45
  d’environ 30 %, afin d’atteindre 94,8 kWh. Les batteries haute tension
  des autres variantes du modèle fournissent une énergie utilisable de
  109,1 kWh (BMW iX xDrive60) et 108,9 kWh (BMW iX M70 xDrive).</p>
<p>En outre, une nouvelle technologie d’onduleur pour l’électronique de
  puissance de toutes les variantes du modèle optimise la densité de
  puissance du système d’entraînement. Cela garantit une efficacité
  particulièrement élevée dans le transfert d’énergie de la batterie
  haute tension vers le moteur électrique. En combinaison avec le
  contenu énergétique plus élevé de la batterie de la nouvelle
  BMW iX xDrive45 et d’autres mesures d’amélioration de l’efficacité
  pour toutes les variantes, il en résulte une hausse de l’autonomie
  allant jusqu’à 40 %, selon le modèle. Avec une autonomie WLTP de 563 à
  701 kilomètres (350 à 435 miles), la nouvelle BMW iX xDrive60 établit
  une nouvelle référence dans son environnement concurrentiel.
  L’autonomie des autres modèles passe de 490 à 602 kilomètres (305 à
  374 miles) pour la BMW iX xDrive45 et de 521 à 600 kilomètres (324 à
  373 miles) pour la BMW iX M70 xDrive.</p>
<p>La récupération adaptative contribue à une efficacité accrue pendant
  la conduite. La fonction MAX RANGE peut également augmenter jusqu’à
  25 % l’autonomie restante avant l’arrêt de charge suivant.</p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Encore plus d’efficacité lors de la recharge de la batterie
    haute tension.</strong></p>
<p>L’unité de recharge combinée de la nouvelle BMW iX xDrive45 permet
  désormais une recharge en courant continu avec une puissance accrue de
  175 kW. La puissance de recharge maximale des deux autres modèles est
  de 195 kW. Le préconditionnement optimisé de la batterie haute tension
  et le chauffage du système de stockage à l’aide de la pompe à chaleur
  du système de climatisation du véhicule garantissent des temps de
  recharge particulièrement efficaces. En outre, la régulation du
  courant de recharge a été développé afin de tirer le meilleur parti
  possible des capacités de recharge élevées. La prise de recharge de la
  nouvelle BMW iX dispose désormais d’un bouton de déverrouillage.</p>
<p>Outre l’augmentation de l’autonomie, la nouvelle BMW iX offre
  également une expérience utilisateur améliorée afin de planifier des
  itinéraires avec une recharge optimisée. Grâce à l’interface
  utilisateur intuitive, les clients peuvent saisir leur destination à
  l’avance dans My BMW App, ainsi que leurs heures de départ et
  d’arrivée préférées et les arrêts souhaités. L’itinéraire proposé par
  le système de navigation BMW Maps peut ensuite être personnalisé pour
  inclure des bornes de recharge. Il est également possible de définir
  tout aussi facilement les fournisseurs de bornes de recharge préférés
  et le statut de recharge souhaité à l’arrivée aux étapes et à
  destination. Dans une vue optimisée de l’itinéraire, le client reçoit
  des informations précises sur la disponibilité des bornes de recharge,
  les temps de recharge nécessaires et leur impact sur l’heure d’arrivée
  à destination, les coûts et l’infrastructure à proximité de la borne
  de recharge concernée.</p>

  nouvelle BMW iX repose sur les performances accrues du système
  d’entraînement et sur la répartition des poids modifiée résultant
  d’une technologie de batterie optimisée. En outre, un roulement de
  support hydraulique de l’essieu arrière est le gage d’un équilibre
  optimisé entre dynamique sportive et confort de conduite. Les
  roulements de roue optimisés en matière de poids et de frottement et
  les pneus à résistance au roulement réduite et portant le label
  d'efficacité le plus élevé, A+, contribuent également à l'efficacité
  supérieure de la nouvelle BMW iX.</p>
<p>Sa technologie de suspension comprend un essieu avant à doubles
  triangles, un essieu arrière à cinq bras et une direction électrique
  avec fonction Servotronic et rapport variable. La nouvelle BMW iX M70
  xDrive est également équipée d’un correcteur d’assiette adaptatif des
  deux essieux avec amortisseurs à commande électronique, d’un réglage
  spécifique M et de barres antiroulis spécifiques M, de l’Integral
  Active Steering et d’un système de freinage sport avec étriers de
  frein peints en rouge. L’équipement de série de toutes les variantes
  inclut désormais le système HDC (Hill Descent Control) et la
  possibilité de désactiver le système DSC (Dynamic Stability Control).</p>
<p>Dans le cadre du pack M Sport, du pack M Sport Pro ou de série sur le
  modèle haut de gamme, des jantes M en alliage léger de 21 et 22 pouces
  sont proposées en quatre nouvelles variantes. La nouvelle gamme de
  jantes en alliage léger de 23 pouces est unique dans l’environnement
  concurrentiel. Les jantes de 22 et 23 pouces sont associées à des
  pneus avec absorbeurs en mousse intégrés pour assurer une meilleure
  isolation sonore.</p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Grande variété de systèmes de conduite et de stationnement automatisés.</strong></p>
<p>Les systèmes d’aide à la conduite disponibles dans la nouvelle BMW iX
  établissent de nouvelles normes en matière de fonctionnalité et de
  fiabilité. L’équipement de série comprend le Driving Assistant Plus,
  le régulateur de vitesse actif avec fonction Stop & Go pouvant
  être utilisé jusqu’à 180 km/h, l’alerte de collision avant Front
  Collision Warning avec intervention sur les freins et le Park Assist
  avec l’assistant à la marche arrière et la caméra d’aide au recul
  Reversing Assist Camera.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Intérieur : luxe progressiste allié à une sportivité raffinée.</strong></p>
<p>L’atmosphère intérieure propre à la BMW iX, définie par un espace
  généreux et un luxe progressiste, peut désormais être combinée aux
  caractéristiques de design sportif du pack M Sport. Les nouveaux
  sièges multifonctions M en microfibre perforée/Sensatec ou en option
  avec sellerie en cuir naturel offrent un meilleur soutien latéral et
  un design saisissant. Le pack comprend également le volant en cuir M,
  le tableau de bord bicolore avec logo M, les finitions Dark Silver, le
  ciel de pavillon anthracite, les pédales M et la console centrale en
  finition High-gloss black. En option et avec un volant M en cuir, des
  finitions Dark Silver sont également possibles en combinaison avec
  l’intérieur de série.</p>
<p>L’équipement de série de la nouvelle BMW iX comprend un système
  d’alarme, l’animation Welcome and Goodbye, des phares Adaptive Led
  Headlights, l’accès Confort, des sièges chauffants pour le conducteur
  et le passager avant, un volant chauffant, le Driving Assistant Plus,
  ainsi que le BMW Live Cockpit Professional et le Harman Kardon
  Surround Sound System. La BMW iX M70 xDrive est également équipée de
  série de l’Integral Active Steering, du correcteur d’assiette
  adaptatif des deux essieux, de la calandre BMW Iconic Glow, du pack M
  Sport Pro et du vitrage solaire.</p>
<p>Parmi les autres options disponibles sur toutes les versions figurent
  le toit panoramique en verre Sky Lounge, les applications intérieures
  Clear & Bold, une fonction de fermeture automatique en douceur des
  portes, la ventilation active des sièges, le pack Heat Comfort, le

  <strong>BMW domine le marché en nombre d'immatriculations de voitures

    60 000 nouvelles BMW seront livrées à des clients sur les marchés du
    Belux à la fin de l'année 2024, ce qui constitue également un

    modèles entièrement nouveaux et électriques +++ BMW Motorrad Belux
    prévoit une croissance grâce à des modèles GS et GSA entièrement
    nouveaux et à succès.</strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>//</strong></p>
<p>L'amour des Belges pour BMW est un fait avéré depuis longtemps et le
  chiffre de près de 60.000 nouvelles BMW qui seront livrées à des
  clients sur les marchés du Belux dans l’année 2024, est sans
  précédent. Non seulement en comparaison avec le reste du marché, mais
  aussi avec la moyenne décennale de 44 000 BMW livrées dans le Belux
  (moyenne sur 20 ans : 37 000 voitures), BMW obtient de très bons résultats.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Majorité électrique</strong></p>
<p>Pour la première fois, plus de la moitié des commandes de nouvelles
  BMW au Belux sont également entièrement électriques : au mois de
  septembre, à la fin du troisième trimestre, nous en étions à pas moins
  de 62%. En termes d'immatriculations effectives, nous étions alors à
  38% de BMW entièrement électriques sur le marché Belux où 27% des
  immatriculations (toutes marques confondues) étaient des BEV et un
  marché européen où 15% des immatriculations (toutes marques
  confondues) étaient des BEV. À titre de comparaison, pour l'ensemble
  de l'année 2023, le chiffre des immatriculations de BEV de BMW Belux
  était de 24 %, de 14 % en 2022 et de 5 % en 2021.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Croissance de la vente au détail de BEV</strong></p>
<p>Au cours des 11 premiers mois, BMW BeLux a livré 19.407 nouvelles BMW
  électriques à ses clients. Cela représente une augmentation de 62% par
  rapport à la même période de l'année précédente (12.188).</p>
<p>
  <strong>Réduction de moitié des émissions en 2 ans</strong></p>
<p>En tant que marque la plus immatriculée, l'électrification rapide de
  BMW réduit les émissions de son parc automobile : alors que la BMW
  moyenne immatriculée en Belgique avait encore des émissions de CO2 de
  84 grammes/kilomètre (WLTP) en 2022, en (les 11 premiers mois de)
  2024, elles auront chuté à 46 grammes/kilomètre (WLTP), soit près de
  la moitié en deux ans (-44%). En comparaison, pour l'ensemble du
  marché, les émissions de CO2 (WLTP) n'ont diminué que de 24 %, passant
  de 105 grammes en 2022 à 80 grammes dans les 11 premiers mois de 2024.
  (source : Febiac)</p>
<p>Le leadership signifie pour nous jouer le rôle d'innovateur et de
  déclencheur dans l'industrie vers une mobilité plus durable », déclare
  Alexander W. Wehr, CEO de BMW Group Belux. En Belgique, nous
  constatons très clairement que c'est le marché professionnel qui fait
  avancer l'électrification. Les entrepreneurs, les sociétés et les
  indépendants prennent les devants, poussés par les incitants fiscaux
  et les politiques ESG d'un nombre croissant de grandes entreprises. Le
  groupe BMW entre donc automatiquement en ligne de compte. En tant que
  l'un des rares constructeurs automobiles à réduire les émissions, nous
  ne tenons pas seulement compte des émissions locales pendant la phase
  d'utilisation, mais tout au long du cycle de vie. Notre objectif est
  de réduire les émissions de CO2 d'au moins 40 % d'ici 2030 par rapport
  à 2019, sur l'ensemble de la chaîne de valeur.</p>
<p>La « success story » électrique de BMW a commencé en 2013 avec le
  lancement de la BMW i3. Entre-temps, nous en sommes à six générations
  de technologies de batteries, la plupart des usines BMW ont été
  électrifiées et le groupe a ouvert son propre centre de compétence en
  matière de cellules de batteries, où il définit les spécifications
  pour les fabricants de cellules sur la base de ses propres travaux de
  recherche et développement.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Une organisation à l'épreuve du temps</strong></p>
<div>
  <p>Les bons résultats de BMW Group en Belgique ne sont pas seulement
    liés à un virage technologique vers les voitures électriques, mais
    aussi à la transformation de sa propre organisation. Alexander W.
    Wehr : « Nous sommes à un point culminant absolu et c'est le moment
    d'investir dans une organisation durable. Nous allons bientôt
    entamer la rénovation complète de notre infrastructure existante à
    Bornem, qui date de 1985. Le groupe de construction Strabag a
    récemment été désigné comme entrepreneur général pour ce projet. Nos
    70 concessionnaires, la pierre angulaire de notre succès,
    investissent également massivement dans la rénovation complète de
    leurs showrooms selon les nouvelles normes RETAIL.NEXT.
    Parallèlement, MINI est passée avec succès à un modèle d'agence où
    les contacts numériques et physiques avec le client fusionne de
    manière transparente ».</p>

<p>
  <strong>Regensburg. </strong>BMW Group Plant Regensburg has achieved
  another major milestone: As projected, the threshold of 100,000
  fully-electric vehicles produced since the start of the year was
  reached today. The milestone vehicle, which came off the assembly line
  in Regensburg today, watched by Milan Nedeljković, member of the Board
  of Management of BMW AG responsible for Production, is a BMW iX1. The
  vehicle, finished in Blue Bay Lagoon metallic, will be shipped to
  overseas, to the island of La Réunion. The plant has produced this
  successful premium compact model for customers worldwide since
  November 2022.</p>
<p>Nedeljković: “We offer a very wide range of fully-electric vehicles
  across all key segments. Our German plants produce these vehicles for
  the global market, delivering a major contribution to the growth of e-mobility.”</p>
<p>Regensburg Plant Director Armin Ebner offers a correspondingly
  positive assessment of the year: “We are meeting customer needs with
  our BMW iX1 and BMW iX2 models. I am especially proud of our team at
  Plant Regensburg, who once again showed tremendous commitment and
  flexibility, despite volatile market conditions. We have achieved our
  projected growth target for production of fully-electric vehicles in
  Regensburg in 2024, as promised.</p>
<p>More than a third of the vehicles built at our plant this year were
  electrified – i.e. a plug-in hybrid or an all-electric model. In 2024,
  we will substantially exceed last year's figure of 238,301 BMW
  vehicles built in Regensburg –with annual production of well over
  330,000 units in total.”</p>
<p>More than 1,400 BMW X1 and BMW X2 models are currently coming off the
  production line at BMW Group Plant Regensburg every workday. The core
  BMW X1 model will be produced with all drive train variants: as a
  combustion-engine vehicle and plug-in hybrid, alongside the
  fully-electric BMW iX1.</p>
<p>“Our plant has become even more digital, more circular and more
  efficient overall this year,” says Ebner. “We are systematically
  driving our transformation towards electromobility and the BMW
  iFactory – an intelligently connected digital factory.” Recent
  accolades, such as being named “FACTORY OF THE YEAR” 2024 in the
  category “excellent large-series assembly” and receiving the “Best
  Cars Award” for the BMW X1 from trade journal auto motor und sport in
  2024, provide impressive proof of this. “I would like to extend a big
  thank you to our entire plant team and our partners for everything we
  have achieved together.”</p>

  already possible to experience in virtual form what the factory will
  look like a few years from now. Production of models for the NEUE
  KLASSE, BMW’s next generation of vehicles, will ramp up in Regensburg
  in the second half of the decade.</p>
<p>The BMW Group plant in Wackersdorf is home to cockpit production and
  parts supply for overseas plants. With the opening of a new battery
  testing centre and commissioning of the first phase in autumn 2024,
  the location has also become a key facilitator for electromobility. An
  entirely new area of expertise for the site is the door and flap
  production centre for Rolls-Royce.</p>
<p>The BMW Group core staff at the Regensburg and Wackersdorf locations
  in eastern Bavaria consists of around 9,250 employees, including more
  than 300 apprentices.</p>

    <strong>+++ Deuxième génération du Coupé compact à quatre portes +++
      Plus d'élégance et de dynamisme +++ Nouvelle unité de production
      dans la carrosserie +++</strong></p>
  <p>
    <strong>Leipzig.</strong> The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is made
    exclusively at BMW Group Plant Leipzig, where production of the
    second generation is now being launched. It joins the BMW 1 Series,
    BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and MINI Countryman in the portfolio of
    models made at the plant, which puts out up to 1,300 vehicles a day.
    The four models with three different drive options by two different
    brands are all made on a single production line – a testament to the
    extreme flexibility of production at Leipzig. The BMW 2 Series Gran
    Coupé is due for market launch in March 2025.</p>
  <p>Five years ago, the four-door Coupé for the compact segment was an
    all-new product presented by BMW as a more luxurious alternative to
    the classic sedan. Production of the first BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé
    started in Leipzig on 1 November 2019, with market launch in March
    2020. The main markets have been the UK, China and the US.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Sporty, elegant design </strong></p>
  <p>The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is captivating, with its expressive
    styling, completely new range of engines, extensively revised
    suspension technologies and an innovative system for partially
    automated driving and parking that comes as standard. It has also
    gained 25 millimetres in height and 20 millimetres in length.</p>
  <p>The exterior design is defined by a low front section angled deep
    to the road, a dynamically elongated silhouette and a
    powerful-looking rear, lending the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé even
    more sporty elegance. The tailgate is assembled with the help of a
    completely new production machine that was installed at the Plant
    Leipzig bodyshop specially for the purpose and features laser-beam
    welding technology. Like the new BMW 1 Series, which has been
    rolling off the production line since July, the BMW 2 Series Gran
    Coupé features the striking, broad BMW kidney grille with its
    innovative combination of vertical and diagonal bars. From March
    2025 this will be available with an optional illuminated surround as well.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>New engines and colours </strong></p>
  <p>The redesigned interior of the four-door BMW 2 Series Coupé is
    entirely leather-free and comes complete with Curved Display, just
    like all the other BMW models made in Leipzig. Reengineered seats
    offer enhanced comfort, especially on longer journeys.</p>
  <p>The top-of-the-range version is the BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé,
    powered by a 221kW/300 hp four-cylinder engine (combined fuel
    consumption according to WLTP: 8.2-7.5 l/100 km; combined
    CO<sub>2 </sub>emissions according to WLTP: 185-170 g/km; fuel
    consumption according to Pkw-EnVKV: 8.2 l/100 km;
    CO<sub>2</sub> emissions according to Pkw-EnVKV: 185 g/km;
    CO<sub>2 </sub>class according to Pkw-EnVKV: G). At market launch in
    March 2025, the engine portfolio will include another petrol engine
    plus two diesel options.</p>
  <p>The compact BMW 2 Series four-door is currently available in two
    unicolour, seven metallic and four BMW Individual finishes as well
    as a wide range of BMW Individual special paints. An optional
    contrast roof is also available, in high-gloss black.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Plant extension and nightshifts support increased production volume</strong></p>
  <p>With the production launch of the second-generation BMW 2 Series
    Gran Coupé, the model family at BMW Group Plant Leipzig is now
    complete. “The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé, BMW 1 Series, BMW Active
    Tourer, MINI Countryman and our first fully electric model, the MINI
    Countryman Electric, make for good capacity utilisation at Plant
    Leipzig. Our products are very popular with customers,” says Plant
    Director Petra Peterhansel.</p>
  <p>BMW Group Plant Leipzig has been undergoing comprehensive extension
    since 2018 and can now manufacture up to 350,000 cars a year –
    100,000 more than previously. Since November 2023 its production
    volumes have increased thanks to the MINI Countryman, making it the
    only BMW Group plant to manufacture cars by two brands on the same
    production line. Plant Leipzig can produce up to 500 MINI and
    approx. 800 BMW vehicles a day, with increased volumes helping to
    secure employment and generating as many as 900 new jobs in vehicle
    production alone</p>
  <p>in 2024. Since opening for business in 2005, Plant Leipzig
    introduced nightshifts in assembly for the first time in September
    of this year and now manufactures BMW and MINI vehicles round the
    clock in three shifts.</p>
