BMW Accidentally Publishes Entire 2027 Lineup — Reveals AWD M2 xDrive and Next-Gen EVs
In one of the more embarrassing corporate leaks in recent memory, BMW's U.S. website briefly published its complete 2027 model lineup — including vehicles that hadn't been officially announced. The page has since been taken down, but not before automotive journalists captured everything.
The M2 xDrive: BMW's Worst-Kept Secret
The biggest revelation is the 2027 BMW M2 xDrive. The M2 has been the only full-fat M model without an all-wheel-drive option, and enthusiasts have long debated whether BMW would give its smallest M car the xDrive treatment. Now it's confirmed — though the rear-wheel-drive M2 will continue to be sold alongside it, following the same dual-offering strategy as the M3 and M4.
Neue Klasse Electric Vehicles
The leak also confirms several next-generation electric vehicles built on BMW's Neue Klasse platform:
i3 Sedan (3 Series electric): Available as i3 40 xDrive and i3 50 xDrive, plus a performance M350 model that replaces the current M340i xDrive.
iX3 Crossover: Three trim levels with both rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive options — 40 sDrive, 40 xDrive, and 50 xDrive. Expected to start around $60,000 with up to 400 miles of EPA-estimated range.
iX4 (New Model): Replaces the X4 exclusively as an EV, available as 40 xDrive and 50 xDrive.
iX5 (Next-Gen X5 Electric): The electric variant joins the gas-powered lineup with a 60 xDrive model.
How Did This Happen?
The models appeared on shop.bmwusa.com as staging pages — likely test entries that were accidentally pushed live. The listings contained model names but no specifications, pricing, or images. Motor1 first reported the leak before BMW pulled the pages offline.
The Bottom Line
BMW's web team just gave every automotive journalist and competitor a complete roadmap of their 2027 strategy. The M2 xDrive confirmation alone is significant news, and the Neue Klasse EV lineup shows BMW is finally getting serious about electric vehicles with competitive range numbers. Someone at BMW IT is definitely updating their resume today.
