Car changing is a big deal
2023 was all about new EV technology for BMW, with a few new electric concept cars making their debut. The next few years look as though they’ll be exciting for the brand, read on for everything coming soon from BMW.
New BMW Models coming in 2024
New BMW M3 and M3 Touring
Both the BM M3 and the M3 Touring have been given a minor facelift for 2024, bringing refreshed stying and updated technology.
It’s also more powerful than before. The 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged straight-six now has 530hp, a 20hp increase over the outgoing car. It’ll also do 0-60mph 0.1 of a second quicker.
There are many visual clues that this is the updated M3. You get slightly tweaked headlights with arrow-shaped LEDs, and there’s a new steering wheel inside as well.
New BMW 4 Series and M4
Facelifted versions of both the BMW 4 Series and M4 have been revealed, although changes to these coupes are pretty minimal if you go by looks alone.
You get some tweaked headlights with a new daytime running light design, and the grille has a slightly different design as well. Some new taillights and a tweaked rear bumper complete the look.
More significant changes have been made under the bonnet, where you will no longer find a diesel engine. Along with the axing of oil burners, the M4’s 3.0-litre straight six has been boosted from 510hp to 530hp.
New BMW M4 CS
As well as the updated M4, there is now a more hardcore BMW M4 CS. It acts as a middle ground between the standard M4 Competition and the bonkers limited-run M4 CSL, offering some of the latter’s track-focussed goodies while not being quite as compromised on the road.
You get the CSL’s 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged straight-six engine, so it puts out 550hp and 650Nm of torque. The CS is also a touch lighter than the Competition thanks to some carbon fibre body panels.
You’ll be able to order your new M4 CS from the end of May, with prices starting from £117,100. Beyond the added power and upgraded suspension, you also get more aggressive styling.
New BMW 2 Series and M2
Like the new BMW M3 and M4, the baby M2 has also been given a facelift, along with the standard 2 Series.
Visual changes are pretty much non-existent. The M2 is available with some new colours, and the 2 Series gets a slightly different grille. The interior has been updated though, with a new steering wheel and different trim options on offer.
The main change has happened under the bonnet. The M2 now has 480hp, 20hp more than before, from its 3.0-litre engine, and it’s still available with a manual gearbox.
New BMW 1 Series
BMW has been on a facelifting spree recently, and the 1 Series has been given the heaviest update of them all. It has an all-new look, as well as a completely overhauled interior.
There’s something Kia-esque about the front end, but there’s nothing budget about the interior. It’s very similar to the X1’s, and it’s much more modern than the outgoing car’s.
You can still get a sporty M135 model, although it has the same 300hp as before. There are also no diesel engines, so now you only have the 1,5-litre petrol or the 2.0-litre M135 to choose from.
New BMW Z4 Handschalter
The BMW Z4 is a great convertible sports car, but for proper driving enthusiasts the lack of a third pedal may be a turn off. Well BMW has solved this problem with the Z4 Handschalter; a special edition with a manual gearbox.
Beyond the new ‘box, this new Z4 is available in a bespoke Frozen Deep Green colour with a brown leather interior, and it gets a specially-tuned chassis for added agility.
Prices for the Handschalter start from £60,675, meaning you pay a £3,000 premium to row your own gears.
New BMW M5
The seventh-generation BMW M5 is also on its way, and development is full steam ahead. Prototypes have been spotted out and about a few times now.
It’s highly likely that this new super-saloon will get a plug-in hybrid setup, possibly shared with the XM SUV. This would mean a 4.4-litre V8 paired with an electric motor, with up to 650hp and 800Nm of torque possible.
Expect to see the M5 saloon debut in 2024, but if you can’t wait that long, why not see our renders to see how we think the next M5 will look?
New BMW M5 Touring
There hasn’t been a BMW M5 Touring since the V10 E61 from the mid 2000s. This is about to change though as BMW has now confirmed that the new M5 will be available as an estate.
This move makes sense after the launch of BMW’s first ever M3 Touring this year. Styling details at the front remains the same as the saloon, and it’s set to retain the quad tailpipes at the rear as well.
Under the bonnet will be the same V8 hybrid system as the saloon as well, although it may be a touch slower thanks to added weight. If this car does come to fruition, expect to see it launched at the beginning of 2025.
New BMW models coming in 2025
New BMW Vision Neue Klasse
This is the BMW Vision Neue Klasse, and it’s a concept car which builds on the design of the i Vision Dee from last year. This retro-looking saloon is a look ahead to what a future BMW 3 Series could look like.
As well as having a wild-looking exterior, the Neue Klasse has plenty of revolutionary tech on the inside. There’s a huge panoramic display across the bottom of the windscreen, as well as a central touchscreen.
Under the skin there’s some new battery technology which could boost range by up to 30% over existing BMW EVs. Expect to see a road-ready model based on this concept in 2025.
New BMW Neue Klasse X/iX3
The first car to be based on the Neue Klasse platform has been spotted testing, the iX3 electric SUV. You can see a similar front-end design to the Neue Klasse X concept is lurking under that wrap, and it has a pretty sleek design for an SUV.
Being based on BMW’s new electric car platform, you can expect to see some clever new battery tech with more range and faster charging. BMW claims this new tech will yield a 30% increase in range compared to current BMW EVs, meaning the new iX3 could manage 380 miles on a charge.
Cars based on the Neue Klasse concept are due to start going on sale in 2025, and that’s likely to apply to the new iX3 as well. If you fancy this new electric SUV, expect to part with around £70,000, a modest increase over the current iX3.
