THe BMW Vision Neue Klasse Concept previews a future electric 3-series, but it uses retro design elements inspired by the original Neue Klasse from 1962.
Shown at the 2023 IAA Mobility auto show in Munich, Germany, the BMW Vision Neue Klasse concept car previews the brand's new design language.The name Neue Klasse was first used in 1962 on the car that would eventually become the BMW 2002, a vehicle that was credited with saving the brand at the time.The design of the new concept car draws inspiration from the original Neue Klasse, but with modern elements such as this backlit faux grille that pulses as if to show the car breathing.
The concept's 21-inch wheels have been carefully designed for aerodynamics, but the camera-based rearview-mirror system won't likely make it to production.What will make it to production, though, is the concept's Panoramic Vision dashboard, which projects infotainment info on a large black panel that runs the length of the base of the windshield.The retro-future theme continues inside with a set of midcentury-inspired bucket seats with yellow corduroy upholstery.

Building Your Company’s VisionCompanies that enjoy enduring success have a core purpose and core values that remain fixed while their strategies and practices endlessly adapt to a changing world. The rare ability to balance continuity and change–requiring a consciously practiced discipline–is closely linked to the ability to develop a vision. Vision provides guidance about what to preserve and what to change. A new prescriptive framework adds clarity and rigor to the vague and fuzzy vision concepts at large today. The framework has two principal parts: core ideology and envisioned future. Core ideology combines an organization’s core values and core purpose. It’s the glue that holds a company together as it grows and changes. Core values are an organization’s essential and enduring tenets–the values it would hold even if they became a competitive disadvantage; core purpose is the organization’s fundamental reason for being. The second component of the vision framework is the envisioned future. First, a company must identify bold stretch goals; then it should articulate vivid descriptions of what it will mean to achieve them. Henry Ford set the goal of democratizing the automobile, then told the world, “When I’m through…everyone will have one. The horse will have disappeared from our highways”–an imaginative stretch for the time. Unfortunately, the usual vision statement is fuzzy and inspires only boredom. But managers who master a discovery process to identify core ideology can link their vision statements to the fundamental dynamic that motivates truly visionary companies–that is, the dynamic of preserving the core and stimulating progress.
