BMW pulled back the curtain on a near-production version of its Neue Klasse technology at CES 2026, showcasing what will become one of the most significant updates to its in-car experience when it reaches dealerships later this year. The star of the show? A deep integration with Amazon’s Alexa+ smart assistant that transforms the BMW […]

Although the modern BMW takes many forms, the compact sport sedan is arguably where the brand hit enthusiast paydirt first. And no other car did more to help BMW find its modern roots than the BMW 02 Series. Incredibly, this year marks 60 years since the car changed the face of BMW forever. What’s even

Electric vehicles used to be little more than a footnote in BMW Group’s sales charts over the past decade. It’s safe to say that a lot has changed since the oddball i3 hatchback went on sale in 2013. Demand blossomed on the back of a product onslaught across the group’s three automotive brands. The last

BMW sales suffered a minor setback in 2025, with deliveries dropping by 1.4% to 2,169,761 units. Looking at the glass half full, however, the past 12 months were strong for the M division. Shipments of M Performance and full-fat M cars climbed by 3.3%, reaching 213,457 units. It marked the 14th consecutive year in which

The BMW Group had a bittersweet 2025. On the one hand, sales of the BMW core brand and Rolls-Royce suffered a minor setback versus the previous year. On the other hand, the last 12 months were excellent for MINI. So much so that it more than offset the decline suffered by the two other brands.

Even by BMW’s already expansive luxury standards, some cars sit well outside the normal product roadmap. Built to satisfy a very niche clientele, they slip quietly into history, often remembered only by dedicated enthusiasts. The E38-based BMW L7 is one of those cars — a model whose significance has less to do with sales volume

2026 is a big year for BMW. The next-generation 3 Series and X5 will break cover over the next 12 months. We’ll also see the first-ever i3 sedan for global markets, no longer confined to China. Munich won’t be ignoring its flagship either, as the 7 Series is about to receive a facelift. Fresh spy

Yesterday, we learned that BMW built more than one million cars last year in Germany. That figure accounted for about 25% of all vehicle assembly in the country. In other words, one in four cars was either a BMW or a MINI. The Leipzig site builds vehicles for both brands. In 2025, it contributed roughly

Stage 3 of the Dakar Rally concluded with another Defender success. In the Stock Category of this year’s Dakar Rally, the cherished off-roading manufacturer Defender is trying its hand at victory for the first time, having brought three Defender OCTA-based D7X-R rally cars to the historic, legendary race with drivers Sara Price, Rokas Baciuška, and
