The meaning of the second generation of BMW cannot be overestimated. Even if you are not interested in electric vehicles or SUVs, the “Na5” is a big deal. It signals a new construction direction in Munich – one that is applied to all models in relation to all models. Regardless of whether there is a combustion engine under the bonnet or not, the cars look remarkably similar.
This is not just speculation. Spy shots of the next generation (“G50”) and the i3 sedan (“Na0”) made it difficult to say them apart. Head of the BMW Group Design Adrian van Hoydonk told BMWblog A few months ago, gas and electrical models will look almost identical: “I think they will be tough [from a distance] To recognize which the electrical is and which is the combustion engine. It will be so close. “
In addition to the fresh look, the new IX3 is also another important debut. As with these concepts, it will contain a completely different inner layout from IDRIVE X. The next generation setup completely exposes with the Rotary dial and even the driver’s display.

Future models will share a large central screen that is expected to measure 17.9 inches on the IX3. The new infotainment is supported by panorama seekers, an upper projection at the base of the windshield. It contains three solid tiles in the driver’s line of sight and six adaptable widgets on the right. You can deduct the desired you want from the main screen to panorama. An optional 3D head-up display was also developed over the panoramic view.
According to reports, there will also be an optional display for the passenger on site, although BMW has not yet confirmed this. The revised 5 Series could be among the first to offer when the LCI version 2027 arrives. Insiders say that it is not integrated into the dashboard, but will instead float it. We also heard that it may not be available in smaller models. So don’t expect you to see it in the 1 series or in X2.
The electrical revolution begins with the IX3, which will debut on September 5 at 11 a.m. CEST (9 a.m. GMT or 5 a.m.). BMW has set up A YouTube Livestream to observe the unveiling how it happens. It is a good chance to learn everything about the design and in-car technology. Details about the gene6 electromotors and the debut of round cell batteries in the IX3 are also expected. So there is a lot to unzip.
