BMW last year launched the 2027 iX3 to mark the start of a massive flood of next-generation electric vehicles collectively known as the Neue Klasse. The name, German for “New Class,” signals that BMW sees this rollout as just as significant as the original Neue Klasse revolution of the early 1960s. Back then, models like the 1500 and the 2002 helped define a sporty and dynamic identity for the brand, one that lasts right up until today.
