+++ Starting in October 2026, BMW Maps will display navigation and driver assistance in a single 3D view +++ This feature helps drivers orient themselves in complex traffic situations and makes assisted and semi-automated driving even easier to understand +++
Current vehicle prototypes are completing a comprehensive testing programme. At the same time, the next assembly phase for the third-generation fuel cell system is getting underway in Munich, as BMW Group Plant Steyr prepares for future series production.
+++ Use of event-based image and vehicle sensor data for the continuous development of driver assistance systems and partially-automated driving functions +++ Data collection from the fleet of the new BMW iX3 and successor models, subject to customer consent and in compliance with all data protection regulations in all EU member states +++ Privacy-by-Design measures implemented +++ No identification of individual road users +++
New active safety functions support drivers in critical driving, parking and exit scenarios. The enhanced Exit Warning function can actively delay door opening, helping to prevent collisions with cyclists. Unique to BMW Symbiotic Drive: Safety assistance systems remain discreet in the background and can provide effective support when it matters most.
+++ Research project highlights potential of high-quality material loops, particularly for steel, aluminium and copper +++ Car2Car rate increases from six to 51 percent under expanded processing and sorting conditions +++ Results provide important data basis for vehicle recycling +++
- Second Neue Klasse model enters series production at BMW Plant Munich - Manufacturing costs reduced by a further 10% - From 2027, Plant Munich will exclusively produce fully-electric vehicles
- Major milestone for BMW Group Plant Debrecen - Fastest ramp-up of a new BMW Group plant. - Strong demand for the BMW iX3, the first model of the Neue Klasse - Intensive collaboration across the production network
+++ Series production starts in December +++ Efficient production using artificial intelligence and virtual reality +++ Highest quality standards: Zero-defect battery production +++
+++ Focus on software stack development, linking data, robotics and applications in component production +++ Project supported by partners from academia and industry +++
- Full price transparency, total control over costs and an expanded BMW Group Charging network make charging on the go even easier – especially when travelling long distances. - New features in the vehicle app and the vehicle itself provide clarity on the actual charging costs incurred. - The BMW Group Charging network already comprises 1.1 million charging points in Europe alone.
The pilot will provide real-world evidence that renewable fuels can be deployed at scale today using existing vehicles, refuelling infrastructure and digital certification technologies.

CO2 emission information.
Uvedené údaje o spotřebě paliva, emisích CO2 a spotřebě energie byly již stanoveny podle standardizované testovací metodiky podle Nařízení Evropského parlamentu a Rady (ES) č 715/2007 v aktuálně platném znění. Údaje se vztahují k vozidlu v základním vybavení v Německu a uvedené rozpětí zohledňuje typ převodovky (automatická nebo manuální) a rozdíly v rozměrech zvolených kol a pneumatik, které jsou u vybraného modelu dostupné, a mohou se během konfigurace lišit.
Hodnoty u vozidel označených (*) se již zakládají na testech prováděných podle nové metodiky WLTP a byly převedeny zpět na hodnoty odpovídající NEDC (New European Driving Cycle), aby tak bylo možné provést porovnání mezi jednotlivými vozidly. U daní či jiných poplatků vztahujícím se k vozidlům, které vycházejí (minimálně) z emisí CO2, se mohou hodnoty emisí CO2 lišit od hodnot zde uvedených.
Více informací o přechodu z testování vozů podle metodiky NEDC na metodiku WLTP naleznete zde.
