Jack gives an overview of BMW's two Neue Klasse and explains why these concept cars are so much more significant than your average fanciful design study. Is this the moment BMW goes all in on electric?

They used cameras for the side mirrors, because it looks cooler from the outside but then didn't add monitors for them in the inside because that always looks terrible.

I'm not sure how they managed to find enough 1970s lemon-yellow corduroy pants in the thrift store to make that interior. Whoever did their shopping that day deserves a bonus. But whatever the final car ends up looking like, if they continue with no physical controls it won't make my short list. Yay buttons and stalks. Boo touch screens. And voice control just... no. If I need to talk to my car it better make snappy comebacks and help me fight crime.

Often life imitates art. Take Startrek for example. Lt. Uhura had what looked like a dimmer switch from 1960s automobiles sticking out of her ear. Her "Incoming message, Captain." notification, and short press to speak was prescient. Most of us wouldn't know what to do with ourselves without our Bluetooth devices. So, saying, "Set the temperature to 72°." *will* become the norm. That's but one small example. My little, value-conscious Chevrolet Bolt EUV has Adaptive Cruise Control, Single-pedal driving and Super Cruise (completely hands-free driving on >220,000 miles of highways in North America). I can also speak to lock/unlock, start/stop, set climate, set infotainment, get tire pressure, vehicle health, etc. One you've used any of these features, you'll never want to go back!

@@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt Nah. My last 3 cars have had it, not to mention Siri, Google, Alexa, etc.. I'm used to it but I still feel like an idiot talking to my car. Also, in one fifth of the time it takes to say "Set the temp to 72" your hand can reach over and accomplish the same. It's not like you ever need to adjust the temp by 20 degrees at a time, it's always small bits. So reach, click click, done, even if you're in the middle of a conversation. (I mean with a human).

@@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt Sorry. I just do not want to _talk_ to any of my devices (cars, computers, phones). It interrupts either your podcast or disturbs whoever else is in the car, and it's a matter of privacy. A silent interface I can use whilst still watching the road is what's needed. Thats's buttons and switches for commonly-used things, menus driven by steering-whell controls, for less-often-used things. I don't turn on the stupid 'turn left' voice on navigation software/devices either. Same reason - it's an annoying interruption that I just don't need or want.

For me it's the first time in a long time that I find a new BMW exciting and I used to be a BMW fan. I like this retro futuristic, minimalistic design. I'm sure the actual cars will look less flashy and more boring. But I hope they retain the general design language on the outside. The inside looks to me like pure phantasy and I hope that's what it's meant to be. Physical buttons have a use. Please don't make Tesla's mistake and put style and cost savings above usability and safety … And by the way: I love the mix of jokes and facts in these videos :D They are entertaining and informative at the same time.

Having used camera mirrors after years of regular mirrors they do have some positives, mainly night visibility is definitely better, poor weather visibility is better, and ours have wide angles on the bottom which is great (bus).

The are the Vision Neue Klasse concepts, I'm amazed no one has mentioned the original Neue Klasse models that set the template for all of the classic models of the 60s through the 80s into the 90s. From Wikipedia: The BMW New Class (German: Neue Klasse) was a line of sedans and coupes produced by German automaker BMW between 1962 and 1972. These models ensured BMW's solvency after the company's financial crisis of the 1950s and established the identity of BMW automobiles as sports sedans.

I hope the ease of disassembly for recycling also makes for cars that are easier and cheaper to repair, as a car that's easier to repair is one that is less likely to be scrapped due to a part failing or a minor collision. Insurance premiums have skyrocketed partly because modern cars are too complex and expensive to repair which I find very wasteful. As for the "super brain" bit, my interpretation of this marketing guff is that the engineers are coalescing a lot of discrete control units into a handful of physical computer systems, using virtualisation to maintain reliability and isolation between the different software subsystems. It not only means lower costs from less hardware and wiring required, but also less latency when measuring and reacting to inputs like wheel speed and throttle position, making it easier to tune the car for a better handling experience. (Source: I previously worked on building developer tools for automotive electronics suppliers like Bosch and Continental that car makers rely on for these systems).

Electric. Digital. Circular. Love. It. Especially the "Circular" part (which, incidentally, BMW lists first on the Neue Klasse page). New, all-electric platform vs. shared platform (EV and ICE). Yes please! Their 50% goal for new vehicle sales by 2023 (scarcely 6 years from now) is laudable and new, all-electric platforms are key to that transition. Speaking of digital, do you happen to know if BMW plan to equip the Neue Klasse range with drive-by-wire systems (steering, braking, etc.)? I strongly suspect so. However, confirmation would be "wunderbar"! On the digital front, I'm hoping that monitors for those rear view cameras will be integrated in that lower, cross-cabin informatainment setup. Lastly, a vehicle purpose-built with disassembly and recycling in mind is as it should've been all along. Good on BMW for finally making this a priority, along with their thoughtful material choices, as well as the commitment to powering production via renewable energy. I look forward to BMW coming to market with these advancements and will be quite interested to learn of their pricing strategy with this range. Oh, lest I forget, as to the aesthetic, BMW nailed it. The Neue Klasse are bea•u•ti•ful. Much better, IMHO, than those recent huge octagon grills on other models. As always, well done Mr. Scarlett.

“Whole Arsing”. Brilliant. But well done BMW; back in the game. The i3 and i8 were really well thought through (well apart from making the i8 a hybrid) but the ground-up body shell, lightweight and radical wheels were very advanced but nothing since then till now. Those camera mirrors will slice pedestrians in two so have a look at the Honda-e to see how it can be done (theirs stick out less than the wheel arches) but love the much better grill designs. Hopefully they haven’t just Osborne’d themselves with the current models!

The front is much better. I wish the headlights were circular rather than vertical strips. They’ve sorted the kidney grill and lost the other iconic historical link.

Does anyone else get dodge challenger vibes from the design? Interior looks cool and heads up speedo etc should be in all modern cars these days. Looks cool

If the design language expressed in the concept drawings is anywhere near what the production cars turn out to be like, then that will be a MAJOR improvement of what BMW have been churning out over recent years, especially on the front end. Those front grills of recent years always reminded me of the film, The Fly - dead ugly!

There is no doubt that BMW can come with superb quality and design.. But they should also highlight the battery mathematics... real world range, with city and highway driving, degradation, and the most concerning range drop during cold weather... Also battery replacement cost.

The saloon looks more like a BMW than the overstyled lumps of recent years; I expect the price will exclude me but I think it looks brilliant. As a Tesla owner I also love the interior - I don't want buttons or switches thank you!

A few buttons and switches are very practical, and much safer. The absolute worst is all those cars with the capacitive buttons…. Freaking idiots.

@@Roko-jb5hl - I never use buttons or screens on the move; I have it set up just how I want it so never have to change anything - most modern cars have everything set on auto anyway.

A potential return to form for BMW following a few years of design disappointments. Looking forward to how this new approach develops.

I really find the new (concept) ideas from BMW exciting. I've never been a complete fan of BMW's design language but I did not dislike it either. This, and however it's going to turn out, has me hoping for something new and different and - yes, exciting.
