The Bavarian manufacturer confirmed today at this year’s edition of the annual press conference held in Munich that a plug-in hybrid model based on the 5 Series F10 LWB will be revealed next month at the Shanghai Auto Show together with the new BMW 6 Series Coupe F12.

Dr. Norbert Reithofer, BMW’s chairman announced a new range of vehicles called NEV (New Energy Vehicle) is about to debut at the Shanghai Auto Show. The first model to bear the NEV badge will be the current 5 Series generation benefiting from the extended wheelbase.

According to the first details, the plug-in hybrid based on the current 5 Series will be built in China but however it will respect all the quality requirments for a premium model, at least this is what the Germans stated.

Mainly, these are the key details available right now for the new 5 Series Plug-in Hybrid but there are few other details that might be interesting for you. Namely, the Germans confirmed that the second generation of the BMW 1 Series will debut this year alongside MINI Coupe and an all-new three-cylinder turbocharged engine.

BMW has announced that 2 new new Mini models and one of them is going to be a Coupe and the second one will be revealed at Frankfurt Auto Show on September 15. At the momment this Coupe remains a concept but it will have a 1.4 liter engine wich will develop 211 horsepower.

This is kind of a celebration model of BMW Mini because this brand began at 26 August 1959 so there are 50 years to celebrate. Those 2 new Mini models will be built at the Mini factory from Oxford, England. These are the measures of the new BMW Mini Coupe: 66.1 inches wide, 53.3 inches high and 1.4 inches lower than before (source).

I always said and I’ll always say: this and any other small car like this one is for chicks. I prefer an 1 Series powerful model but I also saw boys driving cars like this but anyway, I think it’s a respectfully car even if I don’t prefer it.
