All of the innovations showcased in this model centre around the variable nature of forms and functions, with the focus placed on the driver’s individual requirements arising from a given situation or the demands of the prevailing driving conditions. The GINA Light visionary model thus features a virtually seamless outer skin, consisting of a flexible fabric material stretched over a movable substructure. This brand new interpretation of familiar functional and structural concepts changes the way in which drivers experience their vehicle.
“A Creative’s Journey” provides insights into BMW Design's creative process at Design Week in Milan.
Italian designer born in Turin as a son of the orchestra conductor, from 1963 an automotive designer and from 1965 with Bertone as a chief designer – he took the post left by Giugiaro; Gandini designed at Bertone Lancia Stratos (first prototype 1970. Rosengart went later to produce his own development from Austin 7 called LR4 and from 1931, French versions of German Adler cars; his built in 1938 Supertraction was a 2-door sports cabrio with a kidneys like front grille. The creative studio recently unveiled the BMW M Hybrid V8 race car at the 24 Hours of Daytona.

Mini Beachcomber concept
Milan’s Salone del Mobile is an important source of inspiration for BMW designers every year and is also vital for networking and sharing ideas with creatives from other disciplines, such as fashion, architecture and the arts. Exhibiting the new BMW design pillars of proportion, surface, and details, the X coupé establishes a direction for 1, 3, and Z Series cars, while the Z9 sets the tone for larger, more luxurious BMWs. Designboom was in attendance as BMW Group‘s creative studio Designworks opened its doors in Santa Monica alongside the 2023 Frieze Los Angeles art festival. The new LA studio covers an area of about 16,500 square feet and now stands as the largest of its three locations which include Munich and Shanghai. Since its inception, Designworks has expanded from hand-crafting clay models for vehicle design to developing all-encompassing mobility solutions for an entire urban ecosystem.

The installation also represents the evolution of the BMW Design principle from “form follows function” to “form follows experience”. This means human perception and not the function itself is ultimately the key factor in design decisions. On the inside, the individual character of a BMW is expressed in the special interplay of surfaces and lines that follows the layering principle. This refers to levels made up of different materials that are arranged on top of each other and serve different purposes, bringing alive the interior surfaces and dynamics. For the interior design of BMW cars, this layering approach ushers in a new, modern aesthetic and creates a visual lightness.
The camera lens is cleaned automatically by a water spray system which extends from behind the surface of the roundel. Starting from December 2020, new electrified BMW owners will be able to sign up for the BMW Charging Powered by EVgo program using the Personal Activation Code provided in the Welcome Email of their new electrified BMW. A download of the BMW Charging App will allow them to find available chargers, swipe to start their charging sessions and access account information on their mobile phone.

As evidenced by both the exhibition and talk at the House of BMW, the brand highlights how the joy of design, the creators, and the products they realize can spark positive change in the world. The BMW Vision Neue Klasse and Vision Neue Klasse X are bold beacons of this, leapfrogging vehicle generations and embracing a future-forward design language. By pushing the boundaries of creativity, embracing radical minimalism, and empowering the senses, BMW paves the way for an emotional, responsible, and attractive future.

The CFRP components for the side frame, rain channels, roof frame, cowl panel and rear window frame combine to form a “Carbon Cagep”. The BMW Group has employed its many years of experience in working with CFRP – amassed during production of the BMW i models and the current BMW 7 Series – to use CFRP intelligently to reinforce the body while also saving weight and improving vehicle agility. The Carbon Cage has evolved from the Carbon Core used in the 7 Series and allows the beneficial qualities of this high-tech material to be appreciated visually as well.

She not only tells of the importance of radical innovation but the need for responsible creativity. Ranging from forensic architecture to medicine, the design critic illustrates ground-breaking visions that have driven meaningful, positive change. Further to this, she speaks of the intersection of craftsmanship and technology, disagreeing that digital technology is replacing artisans. Instead the Design Critic lists how technology is rather empowering craft, from the innovative textiles used in the Neue Klasse car even to the multi-century restoration of Notre Dame Cathedral. The final design element, four round headlamps, is the most recent, more a product of evolution than conscious decision. As the 3 Series and 5 Series replaced their “New Class” predecessors, Munich used the number of headlights as a rank insignia indicating the position of models within the Series’ hierarchy.

‘The car, as seen in Milan, is really only the start of an entire transformation of BMW’s product portfolio. It is a bold move that very ambitiously jumps product generation and introduces a model that looks and feels more like the future than any other car before. We want onlookers to turn their heads and know this is different, when they see this car on the street in the next years,‘ begins Holger Hampf, Head of BMW Group Designworks, in the livestream talk. The cornerstone of BMW’s vision of the future is the Vision Neue Klasse, which, together with the Vision Neue Klasse X, present a design perspective that engages users with all their senses. These holistic products – and especially the design and development processes to realize them – are the centerpiece of the exhibition ‘FUTURE OF JOY’ by BMW Design at Milan Design Week 2024.
As well as the blue circle of the BMW logo on the hood and tailgate, these elements include blue accents in the outer areas of the bumper to emphasize the front end’s air ducting. A blue accent strip in the side skirts references the presence of the high-voltage battery positioned low down in the floor of the BMW iX. The hood of the BMW iX, with its pronounced three-dimensional sculpting, extends up to the headlights and BMW kidney grille. The hood does not have an opening mechanism for use by the customer; the drive systems and power electronics can only be accessed by workshop technicians. The batteries fitted in the BMW iX are designed as part of a long-term resource cycle and allow for a very high recycling rate. The power used to produce the battery cells and the high-voltage batteries comes exclusively from renewable sources.
The way in which the glasshouse tapers towards the back combines with specially designed air deflectors to reduce aerodynamic drag at the rear. Here, vertical Air Blades on either side of the rear window and the roof spoiler combine to form a sharp aero edge that minimizes the amount of vacuum produced behind the vehicle and its negative impact on aerodynamics. The combined benefits of the Air Curtains and Air Blades extend the car’s range by approximately 9 miles (WLTP measurement).
In the exhibition ‘FUTURE OF JOY’ by BMW Design, the brand unveils its vision of the future through the BMW Vision Neue Klasse at Milan Design Week 2024. During the event, Alice Rawsthorn, Design Critic and co-author of Design Emergency, and Holger Hampf, Head of BMW Group Designworks, further elaborate how design serves as a catalyst for positive change in the talk filmed by designboom – watch above. In the pursuit of better driving dynamics and stance, 3D Design offers a 20mm down lowering kit, optimizing the X1’s center of gravity for improved cornering stability and a more aggressive stance. Japanese tuning powerhouse 3D Design is launching of latest aftermarket program for the new U11 BMW X1. At the forefront of the tuning program are the meticulously crafted carbon fiber components. The front lip spoiler, featuring a mesmerizing 1×1 weave pattern, adds a touch of aggression to the X1’s facade while improving aerodynamics.
The projection system in the BMW iX is designed so that the driver perceives the Head-Up Display graphics as being approximately ten feet in front of the vehicle. This projection distance allows information to be absorbed with the greater ease as it enables the driver to assimilate readouts accurately without having to adjust their gaze in normal driving situations. The Curved Display’s position and presentation are optimized to facilitate the intuitive use of the screen’s touch functionality. The door panel layout features a distinctive diagonal split using different colors and materials. The door pull-handles are sleekly integrated into the diagonal accent strip that houses the button for activating the electric door opening function. Buttons for adjusting the seat position are located on top of the front doors where they are ergonomically arranged in the form of a seat.
