The most exciting new BMW models coming in 2025 and beyond

Car changing is a big deal
BMW is going to be pretty busy for the next few months, with a shedload of new models scheduled to be launched in 2025. Here are some of the cars you can look forward to.
New BMW models coming in 2025
Last year was a busy one for BMW, with the new M5 taking centre stage alongside the 1 Series, X3 and new iX. It’s not showing signs of slowing down in 2025 either, with two very important new cars coming this year.
New BMW M3 CS Touring
When our own Mat Watson reviewed the new BMW M3 CS back in 2023, he concluded by saying that it was fantastic, but you should wait for the estate version. Well now the M3 CS Touring is here, and it could just be the ultimate family-friendly performance car.
Under the bonnet is the same 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged straight-six engine as you’ll find in the standard M3 Competition, however here it’s tuned up from 530hp to 550hp. That’s enough power for 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds.
Just like the saloon, the M3 CS Touring has a selection of lightened carbon fibre body panels, as well as a host of suspension upgrades to make it feel even more agile than the standard car.
New BMW Neue Klasse X/iX3
This is the new BMW iX3, and it’ll be the first car to be built using BMW’s all-new collection of EV parts called the Neue Klasse platform. This consists of new motors and batteries which are more efficient than the ones you’ll find in BMW’s current range of EVs.
It’ll also be the first car to use BMW’s all-new iDrive infotainment system, which consists of a full-width head-up display which runs along the base of the windscreen. It’s a very futuristic look, something which is emphasised by the funky steering wheel and terracotta-coloured dashboard.
The new iX3 takes a lot of inspiration from the Neue Klasse concept from 2023, meaning it’ll get an angular front end with a slim LED light bar, as well as a similar side profile to the egg-shaped iX.
New BMW 3 Series
The most exciting news you can expect in 2025 is the reveal of the new BMW 3 Series, although it’s likely to be towards the end of the year. The next generation of this much-loved saloon car has been spotted on the road during testing in both electric and petrol-engined forms.
That’s right, this will be the first 3 Series to be sold in the UK as a pure EV. It’ll be based on the Neue Klasse concept from 2023, with all-new battery tech which could deliver over 400 miles of range.
You can also see the Neue Klasse concept’s design features poking through that wrap, most notable the sleek, angular new headlights and wide kidney grilles. A revolutionary new infotainment system is also on the cards which projects the displays onto the bottom of the windscreen.
New BMW models coming before 2030
A very exciting new M car is also coming before the decade is up, and it’s going electric.
New BMW M3
This is the first ever electric full-fat M car. The existing i4 M50 is more of an M-Lite, whereas this new M3 is the real deal. BMW has been working on the technology which will underpin this car for years already, and it looks as though it’ll be pretty special.
The M3 will use four electric motors, one for each wheel, and you could be looking at around 700hp from this car. The quad-motor setup will also allow for some crazy torque vectoring – with the ability to send power to each wheel individually for maximum agility.
But what if you still want the glorious straight-six engine? Well BMW is working on bringing that up to the latest European emissions standards with a view to keep it going alongside the new electric M3, so you don’t need to mourn just yet.
New BMW M5
It’s been out for less than a year, but BMW is already working on an update for the new M5. It’s unlikely to be a massive overhaul, just a light facelift to bring the styling in line with cars such as the new 3 Series and iX3.
The current car’s 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 is likely to stay the same, as is the plug-in hybrid system. However, by the time this car comes out in a few years time BMW may be ready to eke a bit more power out of it. You could see 750hp from this super saloon.
These spy shots show that the majority of changes will happen at the front end. You can just about see the new headlights poking through the wrap, and the massive kidney grilles appear to have been lost in favour of slimmer, wider ones which are more akin to the new 3 Series.
