It’s fully electric and will offer driver-assisted, Level 3 semi-autonomous driving technology when it arrives. To prepare for the new model, BMW is investing €400 million into its Dingolfing, Germany factory. The investment allows BMW to produce multiple models with different powertrains on a single assembly line. When BMW iNext production starts, BMW will build it alongside the BMW 5 Series, 7 Series, and 8 Series, which means the line will produce traditional combustion-engine cars, hybrids, and electric vehicles.
