We all love Kyle...but it makes me happy when he is confident enough to turn the keys over to Jordan. He does a great job, and I feel like we are getting twice the content of Kyle having to cover every car.

[@Maxxwellification]

I love that BMW is not scared to go with controversial designs. Also if I don’t like them always but at least not as boring as other car brands. Therefore I am quite sure we will see a lot of those concept elements in the production car. As my i4 lease will end in two years, this will probably the car I will go for.

[@godofdun]

Same!

[@MaticTheProto]

I know from a very direct source that the concept is basically the production car :)

[@hanshenrik9870]

Looks fantastic! Just bought an ID7, but this will definitely be my new car ❤

[@user-yn5sk5ru5g]

So nuts these fake articles pop up saying BMW is ditching EVs....while this month they produced their 1 millionth EV 😁

[@bullshitbingo2259]

It's conservative media and Tesla fanboy fake news sites which want to make you believe that the future is far away. Legacy manufacturers are scaling EVs at a very fast pace and the technology and engineering is fantastic

[@summertyme5748]

Tesla is going bankrupt next month! I just saw a KZbin vid about it. Weird thing is, it was dated 4/1/2018? Weird.

[@summertyme5748]

These SUV’s are nearly identical twins so it’s funny to listen to people swear - this one looks great, but that one is one of the ugliest things ever. Uh, sure…ok.

[@michaelmlt]

Not only that but tripled their sales.

[@tobias_k01]

Before watching the video: Having seen the final car (in prototype state), be prepared for something good. I think BMW has made the right choices at the right time by 1) getting a lot of first experience with EVs early on with a radical concept, 2) bringing more mass market EVs with ICE platform sharing in the ramp up phase while other EV only platform cars are struggling (Mercedes for example) to save cost and not be hit hard with varying demand and 3) go all in when the market is getting bigger and more important overall by once again bringing a more extreme and dedicated concept. And I also like that they want to keep their own identity alive, possibly losing a bit of range with a less rounded styling, but therefore being unique and identifiable and also true to their legacy. I think this strategy will be a success.

[@VolkerTrue]

Thanks! Could you say somthing about the (final) sedan?

[@tobias_k01]

​@@VolkerTrue I can't say more than that I liked what I saw, it's all secret 🤐😉

[@7ludi]

The design doesn't compromise the range, the opposite actually this will be within best in class in terms of aerodynamics

[@MaticTheProto]

erm... my guy the mercedes platforms are very similar to one another and are produced on the same production line. The difference there is minimal

[@myharryface]

Both vehicles are gorgeous. Once again BMWs I would love to own. I had BMWs for 20 years. For the last 7 years we’ve been on a break. Maybe in a couple years we can be reacquainted.

[@futuramanut]

these look nice, glad to see dedicated electric platforms from bmw again

[@James_Ryan]

Just stunning! Easily the best-looking BMW in recent memory. More AI please, BMW!

[@boostav]

Not a tall order...

[@billsweatt5252]

Disagree. I liked the Neue Klasse - without the X. But the X sucks. I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER EFFING SUV!

[@MatrixJockey]

@@billsweatt5252same concise. The sedan will be much better.

[@thephilosopher7299]

Nice work Jordan. Loving your presentation style. It’s a good thing you’ve been able to hit the road a little and help the evolution of the channels. Clearly you have creative bones. That’s what’s needed. Keep it coming. Any future road trips with Frank? Feeling a little sorry for her right now. Stuck with the VF8 in a place which is a charging desert. Y’all better let the girl out so she can join ya. (That was my best American impression. Coming from the UK. Apologies if it offends)

[@urbanstrencan]

And Jordan your work is awesome :)

[@Pilchee]

Looks great, love it

[@Badgerpat83]

I have a new car goal...One Rivian R2 and one Neue Klasse Model 3 electric. Can't wait for the charging network in the US to support it.

[@matthewprather7386]

Large greenhouse is good. Curious if the pillars can be so thin.

[@F1travels]

Huge improvement in looks over the IX!

[@mikeisaacs2314]

I actually like this and it’s a throwback to the 70’s BMW grills

[@techpappee]

Yep, BMW kidney grill started vertically and overtime got horizontal.

[@christophplatz6092]

The design is clean and lean. It is phenomenal !

[@kevinphillips9408]

This looks really good.

[@pnketia]

This looks so much better than the current IX models. The grille reminds me of the old BMW 2002 series.

[@paharding]

Looks Uber awesome. Great design.

[@sandspyd3r717]

Looks dope!

[@craig8638]

You can drag and drop what want onto the widget screen.

[@pm375]

That is a gorgeous vehicle.

[@infernovideo]

I agree, much nicer than most of what they have designed in recent times. Not sure why the hood is so long and high for an EV? What is in that huge space?

[@berthogendoorn2133]

I truly think this is an excellent design and look, should be a hot seller if the spec, interior quietness, driving dynamics holds to BMW bench marks!

[@craig8638]

I watched an in depth walk around review of this and a lot of what you see may make to production.

[@aayotechnology]

Where did you watch it?

I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

[@rygregory]

I like almost everything about it design-wise except for the (smaller) beaver teeth. Also, that’s the Century City skyline not LA’s.

[@cbotten106]

[@user-yn5sk5ru5g]

Looks good

[@4rr44E]

Finally! A good looking BMW!

[@jmanjr]

To my eye it looks great.

[@slyguyaction]

Looks really good for a CUV. I'm more curious about what the "ff" on the cap means tho. Haha. Thanks Jordan!

[@jeppewerring]

Just a few nitpicks, the Rimac partnership shouldn't apply to the Neue Klasse batteries. And the smaller cell is 4695.

[@PhilT2024]

Like the look

[@hankmoody7521]

BMW did annouce, 46xxx cells for the first Neue Klasse EVs build in Europe (iX3 in Hungary and the i3 in Germany) will be sourced from CATL and EVE Power. Same cell providers in China. US/Mexico cell providers weren't announced yet as far as I know. Wasn't the announcement with Rimac about pack design or battery pack production? Since BMW will be producing battery packs in Hungary as well as in Germany for the Neue Klasse, it seems the Rimac collaboration might be BMW M related? Btw, Rimac is also sourcing battery cells from Eve for their 46xx battery pack, which they presented last year. Check also the Eve Power and StoreDot connection.

[@bullshitbingo2259]

Correct, the Rimac collaboration is about pack design and propably related to the BMW M models. The 4695 cells and 46120 have been designed by BMW and produced by other manufacturers like CATL. The cells will be build to packs in Hungary by BMW

[@ab3000x]

The side profile looks great, that's about it.

[@flatspin7]

I like it, I need to see it in person but it looks a heck of a lot better than the XM/iX

[@chipsen3359]

BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi is the Future👍

[@michaelmlt]

I love my i4. I do love this style, too. The tail light protrusions are a little unsettling, though.

[@aayotechnology]

The Apple Touch Bar lives again! Can wait to try it out since I never had that era of MacBook.

[@joshhillis7388]

I've struggled to really like any BMW since the Z8, but I think this new design language is really appealing

[@DES0MX0]

This actually looks miles better than the iX. Although I'll for sure stick with my Macan4 EV order

[@theredmonkey]

Its a great look and a good direction for BMW.

[@teitpoulsen7183]

Huge improvement in front grill design

[@JoshAmped]

I’m liking the design, specifically the more vertical application of the kidney grilles. IMO, more desirable than Q6 e-tron, EQE, and Model Y

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

I like it.

[@VolkmarGeiermann]

Great design, do not change and bring it into serial production, good to see that

[@jonpetter8921]

BMW interior revolution started with iX. I hope they will keep this interior concept to the finish product.

[@BMWI35433]

Go BMW! Love BMW! Huge I3 fan this car brings it to another level! I hope they keep the color scheme love it

[@highlightsonwheels]

Finally, BMW is back to some clean and well-proportioned design after 25 years of Bangle / van Hooydonk crap...!!! This is really a great relief. Perhaps, they better give the sedan also the small kidney signature of the X-SAV car... Sadly, they screw up the electric MINI exterior designs, now, as seen at the China Auto Show... It appears to they should support more of the Design Works people and kick out a bunch of people in the German exterior design studio. The interior design of BMW and MINI is great, though, imo.

[@techpappee]

Once in production this will be the IX3. We’re seeing the new X3 design here.

[@godofdun]

Even as someone that has a love and hate relationship with the current BMW designs, I do like this new direction.

[@javierjimenez3627]

The next gen m3 will ve full electric, the next gen m5 is hybrid, and the next gen X5 is going to ve hybrid as well, people complaining about BMW design, they don't understand BMW makes car for the future

[@davide9427]

I really like the Neue Klasse designs! Would definitely jump from Tesla to BMW if they have NACS and access to Superchargers.

[@bktwhitman]

Really sweet design language in my opinion. I am with Jordan. BMW has really struggled with their design look for many years. The proportionality is off and the designs look odd. This looks modern yet balanced to my eye. In terms of the interior, I particularly like how they are handling the screens in the car. Would love for them to release a SUV/sedan with the ability to move forward and back the rear seats to give i7 legroom when you need it at the price of rear storage. Also hoping BMW comes out with their version of Porsche's active suspension management system (PASM).

[@sporla3]

The range better be well over 300 miles on a charge. I get about 330 miles with my BMW IX.

[@fredericoamigo]

Quite like this one. For once I actually am optimistic about an upcoming bmw. I like the face on the suv better than the sedan. They should go with the front of the suv on the sedan. That would actually look quite nice. Also, I would prefer it if the grill wasn’t illuminated.

[@HDHQDIRECT]

That interior and color looks like modern 60s. What's the other choice avocado green?

[@CMCNestT]

What people demand and what they need may be two different things but people know what they demand. And most people aren't charging enthusiast that look forward to as many charging stops as possible. Crossing America 80 miles at a time is a PITA.

[@IronmanV5]

"I like it, I love it, I want some more like it"

[@jarrodf_]

Wouldn't actually mind the front end if the 'grill' height was shrunk to the height of the front lights, ala 1980s - 2000s years, instead of the unmistakable 'pig nose' appearance here.

[@simonpage4377]

I hope it has opening sunroof......fixed glass is a waste of time and money. Also rear wiper please

[@AutoReport1]

They don't have much choice with chrome at the EU is banning the main production method, just like California. They won't even be allowed to import chromed parts to the EU.

[@swecreations]

They can just use a method that doesn't cause lung cancer, only issue is that would eat into their profits...

[@unoriginalfly]

That grill tho

[@Aggie4life77]

Now this is still a concept car, but this car can look very close to this with the production car. I’m specifically talking about the interior, but the exterior I feel the same way. To me, the interior does modern minimalist design right for a “Luxury” vehicle. This it what kills me about Tesla interior. It gets the job done, but for 100k plus, I need some plush!

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

"Some hits - some misses" I don´t like any of the latest BMW´s, but wow - they pushed the enveloped, changed car design drastically over time. The sign of good new design is that its provokative, that many don´t like it first, then it sinks in and others start to copy, to like it. Saying - the first time for 20 years there is no BMW I would like to buy. And I had many. These concepts are very promising.

[@cbotten106]

I think BMW is smart to have fast turnaround on models considering how incredibly quickly the EV market is currently evolving. The iX is a great vehicle but four years on it will start to taste a bit stale...viola, a new one in 2025 I like it, that strategy, ( & the actual vehicle too.)

[@FriedrichSchuessler]

with this plattform bmw will be on top, before tesla. and i am saving momey for i2 coupe ...

[@Matthew.Sirrom]

The question is will it leave concept stage and make it to full scale production .

[@josefv8708]

...production will Start in less than one year...no time to change too much

[@bigcat9606]

[@stargazer3828]

Correction Jordan - NHTSA approved matrix led headlights in the US on February 2022. Just checked on NHTSA's website.

[@scottwills4698]

Most of the original BMW X5 was done by Land Rover - (BMW owned Land Rover at that point).

[@strang35]

I must have horrible taste. I actually like the IX and I like this design….

[@andresfranco2842]

Funny to see all these "experts" really more like critic know it all's lol, Dislike the the iM/iX design and or styling while quote "loving this new class design? absolutely stupid comment. side profile of this new class suv is the same as the much hated iX. Just amazed by all these quick on the keyboard experts lol. I like both, including the beaver tooth as all the wagon hoopers have named it.

[@Ianmundo]

the Neue Klasse sedan grille is so much better than that on the X

[@u.wunschel7311]

Love germans cars

[@StrongRobot]

3:37 The front of the new sedan Neue Klasse concept is much nicer and more successful of a design than this SUV Neue Klasse X thing. The kidney grill needs to go.

[@mickzed6393]

Better style than the crap they are putting out lately.

[@simonpage4377]

Porsche have beaten bmw to monochrome badge ....new maccan has rear wiper as an option........

[@jimj2683]

I can guarantee you that the production version will just barely resemble this concept. They will remove all the cool stuff (big wheels, nice proportions etc) and add practicality/manufacturability. Just look at EQS and its concept.

[@fleecystheking]

Sedan looks nicer IMHO. This is quite generic-looking. Windows look unfinished, meh. Interior needs a big dose of reality.

[@imjusthere5225]

Please remove digital side mirrors.. So ugly on Audi E-tron, doubt it will be any better for this.

[@Daniel_Capital]

Please get rid of the kidney grills on the EVs, Mercedes used to be synonymous with hood ornaments and they got rid of them on many of their cars. No one cares about the kidney grill design, the logo is fine

[@hadtobe4502]

I really hate the BMW front end still. And those door handles are awful

[@andrewvercillo6225]

I love the look! Kudos BMW! Now they just need to get Tesla software and install self driving camera system and computer and it will be in it way!

[@PatrickAdia]

Love everything except the front grill because it has no physical purpose anymore. It takes away from the amazing headlights. It's like putting fake exhausts on an EV. BMW design team did an amazing job on the Neue Klasse sedan to let the headline represent the BMW brand in the EV era. For me, forcing the grill is being stuck to the past rather than paying homage to it.

[@eclecticcyclist]

Not as bad as some of their previous designs but still literally 'butt ugly'.
