BMW teases its Vision M Next concept car

This teaser though doesn’t show much of the concept. But we know that the BMW Vision M Next concept is coming, and it’ll be showing off what’s possible for the M-series cars. While BMW’s Vision iNEXT concept focuses on how tech can offer a better, more luxurious autonomous ride, the Vision M Next’s focus is on improving “driving pleasure.” It’s all about enhancing the experience of driving manual vehicles.
