BMW Debuts iX3, M2 CS And Daring Concepts At The 2025 Japan Mobility Show

BMW and MINI have rolled into Tokyo Big Sight with a wide-ranging showcase for the Japan Mobility Show 2025, open from 31 October to 9 November after media previews on 29–30 October. The stand brings together the first Neue Klasse production model, the BMW iX3, a raft of future-facing technologies, the MINI Paul Smith Edition, the BMW M2 CS, the BMW Concept Speedtop and a duo from BMW Motorrad – the fully electric CE 02 and the M 1000 RR associated with Toprak Razgatl?o?lu’s 2025 WorldSBK crown.

Headlining the display, the new iX3 introduces BMW’s next-generation electric platform. Sixth-generation eDrive with cylindrical cells, new motors, and a software-defined architecture built around four high-performance computers delivers major gains in efficiency, response and functionality. The Heart of Joy controller manages chassis behaviour from standstill to the limit, while the BMW Panoramic iDrive with Panoramic Vision and Operating System X sharpens driver focus. With a peak 400 kW charging rate capable of adding 372 km in ten minutes and bidirectional capability, the iX3 doubles as rolling energy storage. In-car gaming via AirConsole debuts on BMW, turning smartphones into controllers for titles such as UNO Car Party!, Hot Wheels Xtreme Overdrive and PAC-MAN Championship Edition.

MINI takes the wraps off the Paul Smith Edition, blending the designer’s “classic with a twist” flair with MINI’s playful character. Distinctive hues such as Nottingham Green, 18-inch Night Flash Spoke wheels and signature detailing mark out the special series across 3-Door, 5-Door and Convertible models, with fully electric variants opening for sale alongside the premiere and petrol versions to follow in early 2026. Sharing the spotlight, the BMW M2 CS makes its Japanese debut with an uprated 390 kW straight-six, an eight-speed M Steptronic and rear-wheel drive. Extensive CFRP components, an M Carbon roof, a ride height lowered by eight millimetres, and Merino-trimmed M Carbon bucket seats underpin its sharpened dynamics; the figures speak for themselves, with 0–100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and a 302 km/h electronically limited maximum.

Rounding out the stand, the BMW Concept Speedtop reimagines the sporting Touring theme as a three-door shooting brake and is destined for a strictly limited run of 70 cars. The most potent BMW V8, a shark-nose front with illuminated kidneys, a flowing central spine and bespoke two-tone fan-style wheels set the tone, complemented by meticulous cabin craftsmanship in Sundown Maroon and Moonstone White with brogue-style leatherwork. Beside it, the BMW X7 Nishiki Lounge concept pairs stately seven-seat comfort with Japanese artistry, featuring a two-tone finish, crystalline lighting and a Panoramic Skyroof with 15,000 LEDs casting a star-strewn glow, all scored by a Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System.
