Before it drives off into the proverbial sunset, the “G29” in Final Edition guise still offers a clutch pedal if you step up to the […]

The 2025 Essen Motor Show kicked off this weekend, and sure enough, BMW fans have plenty to see. Undoubtedly, one of the stars is an M3 CS Touring, a special car in its own right, even before tuners spice it up further. This limited-edition super wagon in British Racing Green swaps out its original wheels

Icons of Porsche in Dubai Unites Heritage and a Rapidly Modernizing Future In its fifth consecutive year in the running, “Icons of Porsche,” held recently in Dubai, has evolved into one of the Middle East’s premier automotive cultural festivals.

Some projects stand out because they protect something more fragile than horsepower figures or lap times: history. A Canadian craftsman running the label Zeitworks has built a niche turning original vintage-car interiors into handcrafted leather goods. His latest work may be his most remarkable yet. He recently sourced the original interior leather from a 1957

The newly opened House of BMW Italia in San Donato Milanese hosted an unusual scene this week. Instead of a standard handover ceremony, the building was transformed to feel like the iconic San Siro stadium for an afternoon as BMW delivered 20 new cars to AC Milan for the 2025–2026 season.  Players and club staff
