A new BMW concept shows how self-driving cars from the brand might look in time. 
With a turbocharged and hybrid powertrain, the Vision M Next hits 60 in three seconds.
For now, the Vision M Next is only a concept but it does make our imagination run wild.  

Admittedly, there are many delicious elements in the BMW Vision M Next concept. For one thing, just look at it! It?s a stylish reinterpretation of past and present BMW vehicles. To be more specific, it?s like the lovechild of a 1972 BMW E25 Turbo Concept and i8 PHEV. The wedge-like design is also a fitting ode to the E26 BMW M1. The ?70s and ?80s are back, and I?m loving it!
However, the one thing that really stands out in the Vision M Next is BMW?s ideas on autonomous driving. The BMW Vision M Next is an autonomous car, yes. But it?s the type of autonomy where the controls can be overridden by the driver. In short, it?s a concept car worth waiting for and something traditional car lovers can sink their teeth into.
