Traditional auto shows may be past their prime, but they still hold enough relevance for automakers. BMW kicked off the new year by hosting the Asia-Pacific premiere of the Skytop at the Singapore Motorshow 2026. Although we’re used to seeing the concept rather than the production-ready version, this was a pleasant exception. The easiest way […]

When you think of BMW engines, “six cylinders” is probably one of the first identifying characteristics called to mind. And even if you’re not a dyed-in-the-wool Bimmer head, you might know enough to assume that those six cylinders would be aligned in a straight line, rather than in a “V” arrangement found under the hood

It’s safe to say MINI had a terrific 2025 after selling 288,290 cars. Although far from the record of 372,194 units set in 2017, it still represents a 17.7% jump over the previous year. We’re now learning that demand was fueled by the company’s largest vehicle, showing the SUV craze is far from over. The

The ALPINA brand we grew up with effectively died on December 31, 2025. As of January 1, it goes by the BMW ALPINA name and will operate differently than the company founded by the late Burkard Bovensiepen in 1965. That said, tradition won’t be ignored, as the new owner intends to build on decades of

Let’s just start with the design. Just look at it. The ALPINA B8 Gran Coupe is bite-the-back-of-your-fist beautiful. The shape, the subtle body lines, the ALPINA-specific bumpers, and — of course — the always-gorgeous iconic ALPINA wheels create a visual masterpiece that reminds us what BMW design can achieve when it’s firing on all cylinders.

Earlier this week, BMW confirmed the next-generation 3 Series will break cover later in 2026. Before the “G20” bows out to make room for the Dingolfing-built G50, there’s still time for another special edition. The South Korean branch is rolling out five special editions, three of which are based on the outgoing sports sedan. It

BMW has a bit of a problem in China. The rise of domestic automakers continues to erode the luxury brand’s market share. Substantially cheaper, tech-laden cars are making life increasingly tougher for legacy manufacturers. The downward trend underscores how the prestige of a badge is no longer enough, as buyers continue to flock to local

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
