When a car starts to enter that territory, regular insurance stops making sense. It values the car like any other aging coupe […]

Like the gas-powered 2026 BMW 7 Series the BMW i7 is very much based on, there’s not much changing for BMW’s electron-fueled range topper, the i7 during its third model year. Although next year’s i7 should see more widespread changes that accompany the model for its LCI (Life Cycle Impulse, what BMW calls its mid-lifecycle

BMW regularly launches special editions in South Korea, where these cars can be ordered exclusively online. However, it’s taking a different approach for its latest batch of limited-run vehicles.

It’s been a year since we uncovered the story of how BMW almost green-lit an electric supercar. “Almost” is the key word because the higher-ups in Munich ultimately refused to give their stamp of approval. That’s despite the project having gained traction within the company. Although a project team was established and a clay model

The McLaren F1 is inextricably tied to BMW. One of the most legendary road cars in history uses a BMW-sourced S70/2 V12 engine that delivers equally legendary performance, developing 618 horsepower, screaming to 7,500 rpm, and allowing the machine to hit a top speed in excess of 240 mph.

Traditionally, BMW’s concepts leave us starstruck, usually by way of
