In This Article While throwing my leg over the new 2026 BMW R 1300 RT, I recalled a conversation from a couple of years back.  Shortly after spending a month with a BMW K1600GTL, I found myself in a BBQ spot in Tyler, Texas.  Halfway through my brisket, a guy pulled in on a BMW […]

Few vehicles in BMW’s modern history represent such a bold leap as the X7. Before it arrived, BMW’s largest SUV—the X5—could only pretend to offer three-row practicality. But as American buyers demanded more space, more comfort, and more luxury, the automaker realized there was a real need for something above the BMW X5. The result

BMW has been selling a Z car almost continuously since 1989, when the Z1 debuted. There were a few short breaks between generations, but the Zukunft (German for “future”) has been a fixture in the lineup for more than 30 years. Now, however, the clock is ticking for the compact roadster in its current form.

Some automakers claim battery EVs are the only feasible way to curb emissions. Well, BMW begs to differ. Munich argues there are multiple paths to decarbonization. In addition to investing in hydrogen, it believes cleaner fuels remain a viable solution to reduce CO₂ emissions. Since the start of this year, diesel cars assembled in Germany

When Max Missoni quietly joined BMW in late 2024, it may not have seemed like a seismic event. Yet for those who follow automotive design closely, the move signaled one of the most consequential shifts in Munich’s creative direction in years. The former Polestar Head of Design, who helped shape one of the most acclaimed

BMW has revived the Neue Klasse name, but not as a series of sedans and coupes. Instead of repeating the strategy from over 60 years ago, Neue Klasse now represents an all-encompassing product portfolio. In the first wave alone, BMW plans to launch 40 new or updated models by the end of 2027. Nearly every

The BMW M4 didn’t exist until around 2013. That year, the brand decided to officially split two- and four-door models of the 3 Series. Sedans kept the 3 badge, while coupes and convertibles became the 4 Series. Of course, this split also spawned the confusing 4 Series Gran Coupe, which was a ultimately a four-door

With the new 325iS and 333i for South Africa, BMW proves good things come in pairs. The luxury brand is delivering a one-two punch at what’s left of the coupe competition with a retro-flavored 2 Series tandem. The former builds on the M240i xDrive, while the latter starts life as an M2. A new video

For decades, BMW and Audi watched from the sidelines while Mercedes basically printed money with the G-Class. Land Rover has also enjoyed immense success with the Defender. However, it wasn’t until a few years ago that the British off-roader ventured into luxury territory. Better late than never, the two notable absentees from this niche are

BMW is reportedly planning to build low three-digits numbers of the new M2 Turbo Design Edition, making it one of the rarest modern M cars in recent memory. That figure would place it just above the E92 M3 Lime Rock Park Edition, which was limited to 200 examples, but still far from mass production territory.
