The Bavarian automaker is very ambitious when it comes to its future, and the upcoming 40 new BMWs are just an indication that the manufacturer has big plans for the next few years.
BMW has officially confirmed that by 2029, it will release about 40 new models on the market, as well as refreshed existing ones. Also, the Bavarian car company emphasized that electrification will not stop the development and production of models powered by turbo gasoline and turbo diesel engines.
A few days ago, BMW and Rimac Technology have reached an agreement on a long-term partnership, and now there are a lot of rumors that the first joint project could be the next-gen electric M3. The arrival of the fourth generation SUV model X3 is expected by the end of 2024, and the new X5 will arrive on the market very soon. Everyone who had an insight into the current development of these models says that they are really attractive cars.
When it comes to refreshed models, the most frequently mentioned are the 2 Series Gran Coupé and the luxury electric BMW i7. Also, the BMW M5 and M5 Touring will still be powered by a 4.4-liter biturbo V8 engine, although it was announced that this engine will no longer be installed in the X5, X6 and X7 models (without the M designation). Its replacement was supposed to be a 3.0L inline 6 B58 engine, but that’s not going to happen.
BMW still believes in fully electric cars, but their production will depend on market demands in different regions, which at the moment excludes the end of development of internal combustion engines that will also meet the new Euro7 regulations.
