BMW has revealed the new Neue Klasse BMW 3 Series, including a brand new all-electric version of the i3. The announcement introduces the company's next-generation design and technology direction to one of its core model lines, pairing the traditional combustion lineup with a dedicated electric variant under the Neue Klasse family.

The next-generation Polestar 2 is being positioned as a direct competitor to BMW's new i3, the electric version of the 3 Series. The Swedish brand's updated electric fastback is expected to move upmarket, challenging BMW head-on in the premium EV sedan segment as both automakers push their latest electric models.

BMW is reported to be planning an i3 M60 xDrive, a high-performance electric sedan expected to launch in 2027. The model would sit at the top of BMW's Neue Klasse EV line and is positioned as a direct rival to the Tesla Model 3 Performance. Details so far are limited to expected specs and features, with BMW itself yet to confirm the model or its launch timing.
