BMW’s first electric sedan on the Neue Klasse platform is just over two years away, and we’ve already caught a tantalizing glimpse of its potential design. The journey to the Neue Klasse began at CES 2023 with the debut of BMW’s DEE. A few months later, the Mobility Show in Munich unveiled the Vision Neue Klasse, a concept that brings us a step closer to the final production model. Despite the progress, the road ahead remains long, and we can expect another preview of the future BMW i3 (NA0) in the near future. Meanwhile, rendering artists worldwide are leveraging their skills to envision what this groundbreaking vehicle might ultimately look like.

A local driver, Frieda Vallejos, shared with KLAS-TV how living in Vegas for over 20 years has helped her body adapt to the heat, but unfortunately, the same can't be said for her car. She recently experienced her center console knob melting off—yikes!

The automotive part of the internet has been flooded recently with reviews and opinions about the new 2025 BMW M5, the G90, a real heavy-hitter with way more power and torque than any M5 that came before it. However, because it’s a plug-in hybrid that weighs over 1,000 pounds more than the F90 it replaces, it isn’t any quicker to accelerate than its predecessor—it’s actually slower. With an official weight of 5,390 pounds (2,445 kilograms), it is heavier than a G05 X5 with either the 50e plug-in hybrid or M60i V8 powertrains, as well as the same versions of the G70 7 Series. It’s one of the heaviest BMWs you can buy today, even heavier than the manufacturer’s already pretty hefty EVs, including the i5 M60, which weighs 5,081 lbs (2,305 kg).
