The all-new BMW X3 offers fascinating qualities with uncompromising diversity, combining both driving pleasure and efficiency with comfort and functionality, sportiness and elegance.

Asia Premiere: M3 GTS

For the genuine motorsport enthusiast, the M3 GTS is ideal for Clubsport events – exactly the right car for the truly discerning customer demanding the very utmost in terms of power and performance. The BMW M3 GTS is largely hand-built by the most skilled craftsmen at BMW M GmbH as a perfectly harmonised package of outstanding modifications, with production exclusively to the customer’s personal order. Focused on motorsport, the modifications are most evident in the drivetrain, the suspension and the body of the car, as well as its interior. .

Efficiency without compromising on performance: The BMW Concept 5 Series ActiveHybrid

A new generation of fuel efficiency, the BMW Concept 5 Series ActiveHybrid is an integration of BMW ActiveHybrid in a sedan to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by more than 10 per cent. Allowing all-electric, zero-emission motoring in city traffic, the electric motor offers a boost function, supporting the gasoline engine to produce a sporting driving experience that is intelligent, efficient and optimized for comfort.

The future is here: GINA

Look out for the BMW GINA Light Visionary Model, a car completely clad in a flexible fabric skin, an optical expression of creative freedom to revolutionise the way we think about automobiles.

M1 Hommage

To mark the 30th anniversary of the BMW M1 super sports car, BMW Group Design presented a hommage to this legendary model as part of the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in 2008. Designed by Giorgio Giugiaro, the BMW M1 was a car of superlatives and a highly emotive vehicle that was uncompromisingly primed for the race track. Spawning this development was the BMW Turbo by Paul Bracq, a revolutionary concept car which, in addition to its groundbreaking functional design, also boasted a raft of technical innovations. It is from these two unique vehicles that the BMW M1 Hommage takes its cue – a design study that pays tribute to its forerunner models and an embodiment of the competence, creativity and potential of the BMW Group Design team.

Mapping out the Roadster heritage

BMW World also tracks the BMW Roadster journey, from BMW 507 in the 1950s to the present-day BMW Z4.
