BMWs aren’t supposed to be affordable. It is a luxury brand, after all. However, prices have crept up over the last few decades, rendering the cars unobtanium for the younger crowd. The cheapest model available in the United States starts at $40,000 for the 2 Series Gran Coupe. At home in Germany, even a 1 […]

Product placement in movies is often an efficient form of advertising without making it look (too) obvious. Even though the days when James Bond drove a Z3 in GoldenEye or a Z8 in The World Is Not Enough are long gone, BMW is still active in cinema. A few years ago, it teamed up with

BMW and Formula One have an inextricable history. Most frequently, the relationship gets reduced to BMW’s history of supplying engines. Far from an unfair categorization. But there’s another way BMW “supplied” Formula One in the early 2000s: Formula BMW. A separate entity with previously limited OEM involvement (although BMW did supply engines), the OEM took

The BMW 5 Series (E39) is now getting on in years, with most examples now approaching 30 years old. But even nearly three decades later, the BMW E39 5 Series is arguably the quintessential BMW. With perky inline-six and potent V8 engines, classic design, and of course a rapid and rowdy full-fledged M5 model sitting

2025 marks the big five-o for the 3 Series, having entered production in July 1975 when the first E21 rolled off the assembly line in Munich. Naturally, BMW is celebrating the milestone by giving the luxury sedan its fair share of special editions. China led the way with a 50 Years Edition, followed by Australia

The BMW 328 Hommage celebrated, commemorated, and modernized the iconic 328, marking the car’s 75th anniversary in outrageous fashion. Considered by some to be the best sports car of the 1930s — and a huge success for BMW — the original 328 arguably set the bar for all BMWs that came after. Futuristic steps for

If there’s one certainty in the automotive industry, it’s that CEOs always hype up the next product. But in BMW’s defense, the second-generation iX3 isn’t just another electric SUV in its already vast portfolio. The largest single investment in a platform, more than €10 billion, means a lot is riding on the “NA5” and the

It’s been a relatively quiet summer at the BMW Group, with few product launches. Enthusiasts did get the M2 CS special edition, but there hasn’t been much news otherwise. However, that’s understandable, because the most important model in years lies ahead. Come September, the Neue Klasse returns. Taking center stage at the 2025 IAA Mobility,

A second source has now echoed what we reported earlier this year: the upcoming electric M version of the iX3 will be called simply the BMW X3 M. Despite being fully electric, the model will not carry the “i” prefix traditionally used for BMW’s EV lineup. Instead, it will follow the same naming convention as

BMW M Team RLL finally turned pace into results at Road America. After a season of near misses, the BMW M Hybrid V8 scored its first win of the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship—and added a second-place finish for good measure. Philipp Eng and Dries Vanthoor brought the #24 car across the line first, followed
