BMW’s compact rear-wheel-drive sports coupe, and one of the most fun BMWs to drive today – the 2 Series (codename G42), has already received its mid-cycle facelift—but you’d be hard-pressed to spot the changes. Even the latest technical update, which raised the M240i xDrive’s output to 386 horsepower, leaves the exterior nearly untouched. And while

BMW AG has issued a profit warning for the 2025 financial year, cutting its earnings forecast following weaker-than-expected performance in China and delays in tariff refunds between the European Union and the United States. The automaker announced the revised outlook late Tuesday, shortly after markets closed, signaling that profit before tax will now come in

If it were up to BMW, owners would probably never leave their cars. There’s always something to do, even after arriving at your destination.
