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.

The newest generation of the MINI Cooper debuted just last year, so it would be normal for MINI to leave well enough alone. However, the brand does bring some small tweaks to the Cooper, albeit its mostly aesthetics. Most importantly, the 2026 MINI Cooper is still available in the budget-minded Oxford Edition trim level, although

BMW is rolling out the proverbial red carpet for the 2027 iX3 at an event that isn’t primarily about cars. The Consumer Electronics Show focuses on technology first and foremost, and as today’s automobiles become rolling computers, it makes perfect sense to showcase the electric SUV in Las Vegas. Bear in mind that this isn’t
