BMW to bring philosophy to life at Goodwood 2025

BMW will bring its philosophy, titled The Ultimate Driving Machine, to life at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, which runs from 10 to 13 July 2025.

This will see the brand host the U.K. debuts of the BMW Vision Driving Experience, BMW Vision Neue Klasse X, BMW Concept Speedtop, and the highly anticipated second-generation BMW M2 CS. The event will also pay tribute to one of the brand's most iconic nameplates with a celebration of 50 years of the BMW 3 Series.

At the event, the BMW Concept Speedtop can also be viewed in the BMW Individual Lounge, which also houses the i7 M70 xDrive

First revealed at the 2025 Auto Shanghai, the BMW Vision Driving Experience, which is a high-performance test vehicle, is now poised to unleash up to 18,000Nm of torque on the famed Goodwood hill climb. Known as the Heart of Joy, this technology will debut in the first Neue Klasse series production model from Q4 2025.

Also making its U.K. premiere is the BMW Vision Neue Klasse X, offering a first look at the Neue Klasse in Sports Activity Vehicle form. It combines the familiar two-box silhouette of a BMW X model with a pared-back, modern design language, and it sets the stage for forthcoming BMW iX3.

The highly anticipated all-new BMW M2 CS will also make its first U.K. appearance at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, alongside the first-ever BMW M3 CS Touring.

Also making its U.K. debut at the event is the BMW Concept Speedtop, which will be limited to just 70 units globally. Visitors can view this exclusive model in the BMW Individual Lounge, which also houses the range-topping BMW i7 M70 xDrive.
