We sit down exclusively with Sebastian Kroes, BMW's Head of Interior Design for Compact and Neue Klasse, for a detailed walkaround of the all-new 2026 BMW i3 Neue Klasse.
From the shark nose front end and E30-inspired 2.5-box proportions to the tilted panoramic cockpit display and the brand-new Le Castelli Blue paint, Sebastian walks us through every design decision inside and out. We also discuss the 345kW output, 88kWh battery pack, the M Sport package details, rear legroom improvements over the i4, and the one interior detail that BMW says will change the way you drive.
If you've been waiting for the true electric successor to the 3 Series, this is your first real look.
