In 1961 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, BMW’s legacy changed forever. It was here that the brand debuted the first of its “Neue Klasse” — German for New Class — cars. Of course, at the time it was just referred to as the BMW 1500. The “New Class” moniker wouldn’t crop up in BMW’s advertising […]

Fifty years ago, BMW embarked on a journey that would define what a grand touring coupe should be. The E24 6 Series, introduced in March 1976, wasn’t just another model in BMW’s lineup—it became the car that crystallized the brand’s identity for an entire generation and proved that luxury and driving dynamics weren’t mutually exclusive.

The BMW Z8 market hasn’t exactly been subtle lately. For years, values for the E52 have traced a clean, upward line—helped along by Henrik Fisker’s timeless surfacing, that 507 homage baked into every panel, and the car’s pop-culture afterlife as the Bond roadster that quite literally gave its life on screen. Now, with the 2026

Cars like the BMW M5 Touring and Audi RS6 Avant can do pretty much everything. Well, except go off-road. Unless you plan on venturing off the beaten path, these family haulers should tick virtually all the other boxes. Both are fast, powerful, spacious, comfortable, luxurious, and brimming with technology. Edmunds wanted to find out which

BMW is issuing a new U.S. safety recall for a small batch of early F-chassis cars—specifically certain 2014 model-year 3 Series sedans (F30), 4 Series coupes (F32), and 2014–2015 2 Series coupes (F22)—because a head airbag inflator may crack at a weld joint and either leak gas or rupture. According to the recall filing, the

The “Neue Klasse 4 Series will do everything” narrative is taking off today, but it’s worth separating what BMW has actually put on the record from what’s getting filled in around it. In an interview at CES 2026, Autocar UK quotes BMW development chief Joachim Post calling the 4 Series “important” and positioning it as

The fully electric MINI Cooper has added a second safety headline in 2025. After securing a five-star Euro NCAP rating in March 2025, the model has now been named Euro NCAP “Best in Class for Safest City & Supermini of the Year 2025.” What Euro NCAP tested and what the scores mean Euro NCAP’s March

Performance EVs are a divisive subject these days — perhaps unsurprising when you consider EVs themselves are still polarizing. But some automakers think part of the answer to injecting a little bit of fun into electric vehicles might come by way of “simulated gear changes.” The technology is exactly what it sounds like. Essentially, automakers

BMW has offered one of the clearest signals yet that Euro 7 isn’t going to automatically wipe out its combustion portfolio — and, by extension, that Rolls-Royce’s V12 still has a path forward. In comments given to Autocar, BMW development boss Joachim Post said the company expects it can meet Euro 7 requirements through targeted

The BMW XM is arguably the brand’s most polarizing offering. That doesn’t change for its newest model year, which adds some new cosmetic options, a simplified lineup (at least in the States), and a slightly more sensible price tag. New Style 1096 wheels, painted black, join the option list, and the XM Label (the only
