iNext isn't going to show until sometime early in the 2020s, but the company's technology development isn't standing idle in the meantime. There are plans for an upgraded i3 with extended range (through a bigger battery) this year, an open-top version of the i8 hybrid in 2018, and even a plug-in hybrid version of the Mini. In short, BMW is trying to embrace the future with open arms. It may not be the first to get there, but it'll be near the front of the pack.
