BMW to livestream debut of new model after Geneva show called off


BMW was aiming to make a big splash for its i4, a car meant to help reassert the German company’s momentum in electric vehicles. The group is sticking to the same programme on March 3, albeit with a 'digital press conference' by chief executive officer Oliver Zipse, who will speak from BMW’s Munich headquarters. — AFP

With the annual Geneva car show canceled for the first time since the World War II era, automakers are going virtual in a bid to wow the hordes who would otherwise descend on the Swiss city to get a closer look at the latest models.

BMW AG will live stream the debut of its i4 battery-car concept on Tuesday, while Mercedes-Benz’s popular E-Class sedan and Audi’s A3 sportback and all-electric E-Tron S will also be touted in digital displays.
