Concept Cars and Vision Models brings together BMW’s most forward-looking concept cars and vision models, through which the marque has, in different eras, presented its design thinking, technological ambitions and possible future directions. These cars were not created according to the usual logic of series production, but rather to explore new forms, powertrains, materials and ideas of mobility. It is through such models that BMW has been able to express ideas more freely — ideas that were sometimes ahead of their time or pointed toward the next major stage in the development of the brand.
The models in this category show very clearly how BMW has linked futuristic design and technical experimentation with its core identity. Some concept cars became direct forerunners of later production models, while others remained unique visions whose purpose was to inspire discussion and demonstrate new possibilities. This category includes both earlier radically styled concept cars and later vision models focused on electric mobility, aerodynamics and sustainability. Through them, it becomes possible to see how BMW has interpreted the future across different decades.
This page presents models such as the Turbo X1, Vision EfficientDynamics and Vision Next 100, which together provide a strong overview of the breadth of BMW’s world of ideas. Taken together, these cars form a very important part of the marque’s story, because it is through concept cars that BMW has been able to test the limits — some of which later reached production models, while others remained inspiring and bold visions in their own right.
