BMW celebrated its Centennial yesterday with a concept called Vision Next 100.
However, that is not the only concept planned to celebrate the German company’s first 100 years of existence. The next ones will come from MINI, BMW Motorrad, and Rolls-Royce.

That is right, BMW’s Centennial will be celebrated by all the other brands in the company’s portfolio, not just the main automotive branch. The new concept will be the first that Rolls-Royce makes to celebrate an anniversary of the BMW Group, and the same applies to the MINI brand.

BMW’s motorcycle division, BMW Motorrad, has celebrated its anniversaries recently, but the new concept will be dedicated to the Centennial of the main brand, BMW.

BMW confirmed that it would showcase its new concept in London between June 16-26. The date will mark both the presentation of the Rolls-Royce Gran Sanctuary Concept, as the exhibit is called, and of the MINI concept vehicle. The latter is designed under the tagline “Every Mini is a Mini,” and its purpose is to celebrate the next century of personalization.

Meanwhile, the concept bike from BMW Motorrad will be unveiled in Los Angeles under the tagline “The Great Escape.” The presentation of the BMW Motorrad anniversary motorcycle concept will take place on October 11-16.

The BMW Group will host a series of exhibitions worldwide to celebrate its Centennial, and the main cities involved will be London, Beijing, and Los Angeles. Naturally, Munich was the place where the company celebrated its first 100 years of existence yesterday, as BMW AG was founded in the same city a century ago.

According to BMW, the four concept cars they will tour the world with will also be shown to “selected groups and shareholders.” This means that the German company is expecting feedback from influential people in its hierarchy, and the concepts could eventually spawn production models inspired by their design. Just don’t expect to see the Vision Next 100 in BMW showrooms too soon.
