There has been quite a lot of talk about BMW’s future development of vehicles. The fact that it embraces the idea of complete electrification of the automotive industry is definitely something that has attracted everybody’s attention. How will future BMW vehicles look? How will they function? How will BMW adapt its policies in order to comply with its new vision? All these things might get a couple of answers as BMW might show the iX3 Concept in Beijing. This might be the moment all BMW fans have been waiting for. BMW might show us a glimpse of the future.

This is not the only piece of news that might make BMW fans smile. BMW has announced that it plans to show a lot more electric concepts this year. The auto show in Beijing will probably be the first in a series of glimpses BMW will offer us into its future. While we are still far away from what BMW wants to show us, the idea is for people to get used to the ideas that the Bavarian automaker will slowly push into our society. This is a moment in the development of automotive industry worth being part of.

The big question regarding BMW’s future is if its new adopted policy will succeed in the end. While speculations are pointing in one direction or the other, the truth is we will have to wait and see. The wait will be long. We will know if BMW’s electrification policy will be good after it reaches or fails its primary targets. While electrification seems like the best idea to implement for the future of the automotive industry, there are quite a number of unanswered issues with this technology. Let us hope that all potential issues that may appear on the way to development will be fixed by interested automakers such as BMW.

Without a doubt, BMW has caught the attention of all those interested in the future of the automotive industry. We will soon see how BMW will attempt to implement its electrification plans for the future development of vehicles. Whether or not the applied policy will be successful, just the fact that the Bavarian automaker risked so much is something to cheer for. Inevitably, we will find out if BMW was right in selecting this particular future development path. Time will demonstrate it in the end.

BMW’s most recent launch at Beijing, the Gran Coupe Concept is a great looking four door saloon, which may be going to jump at the Mercedes CLS market.

While this car has seen a lot of enthusiasm there are quite a few people considering that this is happening a bit late.

So it’s a new comer to market that’s been opened quite a long time ago but that’s not the full story, since BMW fans consider this to be late, they think that the lines featured on it may still have some great use. A few bored enthusiast that know their way around photographic and rendering software have created something very special.

This creation is a new take on a very loved BMW, the 6 Series.You can see the photo and general BMW 6 Series fan consensus is that this should go back to Munich to become a poster in the design studio there. If the next BMW 6 Series will look like this which let’s be honest, it’s not impossible.

Basically what BMW need to do is to take the BMW Gran Coupe Concept, take off a couple of doors, redo the lower part of the bumper to remove those awful looking LED fog lights to get something nice, simple and fluent with lighting that is as discrete as possible, that should be enough to highlight the amazing wheels.

So BMW, willing to listen and make us a 6 Series that actually gets bought for looks?

BMW has recently announced it’s plan for electric vehicles and further more they will be bringing forward a special edition of their latest 5 Series sedan.

This 5 Series will be set apart from the rest of the BMW 5 Series range in being electric.

The car is named Echo and is the result of a partnership between BMW and Tongji University. Tongji University is one of the leading universities directly under the State Ministry of Education in China, has a tradition spanning over a hundred years and it is renown for its, School of Architecture and Urban Planning, School of Civil Engineering , Mechanical School, School of Environmental Science and Engineering.

The precise stats on this car are, as to be expected kept secret but we do have a couple of little snippets about it, it will be able to travel 62 miles on an all electric range and it is promoted as being a car made in Chine, by China and for China.

That being said though there are no plans for BMW to put this concept car into production. The Echo 5 Series BMW is a direct result of BMW’s engineering and of the immense investments made by the Chinese government that total up to over a billion dollars. This amount is invested by the Chinese as the logistics of importing crude oil and the pollution issues this will bring up when China has vast resources of coal that could be transformed in cheap electricity.
