The N55 engine debuted in the late 2000s. It was an evolution of the N54 twin-turbo inline-six, which would largely be replaced over the span of the 2010s. During that time period, it found its way under the hood of almost every BMW model in the lineup, from the little 1 Series to the 7 […]

BMW’s Neue Klasse era is about to enter full swing with the upcoming BMW i3 Sedan (NA0), the brand’s next-generation electric 3 Series. Built entirely on the new Neue Klasse platform, this isn’t a modified version of today’s G20 3 Series — it’s a clean-sheet electric architecture and design that will define BMW’s future lineup

Why did BMW choose to debut the new iX3 as its first Neue Klasse model in the modern era? Because as much as we love cars, SUVs pay the bills. Still, Munich knows sedans will always have a place in the lineup and decades of tradition to uphold. Come 2026, the i3 will make a

The BMW Group took nearly everyone by surprise in early 2022 when it acquired ALPINA. Munich didn’t buy the family-owned company itself, but rather the brand name. The intent? To use the fabled moniker on future high-end models. The focus will likely be on the largest vehicles. Think 7 Series and X7, positioned to bridge

The 2026 BMW M5 marks the second model year of the newest iteration of the decades-old M5 nameplate. The G90 (sedan) and G99 (Touring/wagon) chassis flip the model on its head, debuting a hybrid powertrain with sizable increases in both horsepower and curb weight. However, that hasn’t diminished the M5’s abilities in the areas that

BMW hasn’t shown the U11 chassis X1 a ton of love since its introduction in 2023, but the 2026 model year sees another incremental improvement over last year’s model. If you’ve forgotten, the most substantial change for last year was the addition of standard heated seats. The 2026 BMW X1 adds wireless phone charging, auto-dimming

Europe’s small hot hatch segment is dying. In recent years, we’ve had to say goodbye to the Hyundai i20 N and Ford Fiesta ST. Cars like the Renault Clio RS, Peugeot 208 GTi, and Skoda Fabia RS are already distant memories. But there are still options, albeit limited. Volkswagen still sells the Polo GTI, while

Used car prices have been on the move a lot in 2025, but BMW seems to be a bit of a special case. According to data from iSeeCars, the German automaker’s lineup has managed to outpace almost every other brand and a broader trend of rising values. While the average used car (one to five

Aston Martin’s lineup is full of stunning cars, combining timeless British luxury and design with raucous performance and robust dynamics. However, one name that stands out within Aston Martin’s lineup is Vanquish, known for representing the pinnacle of Aston Martin performance with flagship grand tourers. Having retired the Vanquish name in the late 2010s, Aston

We reported in December 2024 that BMW isn’t planning an internal combustion successor to the X4. Instead, the coupe-SUV is widely expected to return in 2027 as the all-electric BMW iX4 (codename NA7), built on the Neue Klasse platform. While BMW hasn’t officially confirmed that part yet, it has now confirmed that production of the
