Nostalgia is intoxicating, in a way. Certainly, cars are not immune; you can hardly venture into any enthusiast-centric corner of the web without hearing tales of how “they don’t make them like they used to.” True enough. Case in point: the E90 M3. A roaring, naturally-aspirated V8 that pulls to 8,400 rpm. Manual transmission, if […]

Koenigsegg has smashed yet another record, this time at one of America’s most demanding circuits. The Sadair’s Spear, the Swedish brand’s latest homologated hypercar, which first broke cover in June this year, set a new production-car lap record at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, clocking a verified 1:24.16 on November 4, 2025. What makes this feat

BMW sells a lot of cars in the U.S. these days. In fact, at last count, the marque moved 371,346 cars and SUVs last year. It didn’t happen overnight; fifty years ago, BMW of North America’s inaugural year, the brand only sold 19,419 cars. One of the biggest speed bumps on the brand’s journey to

In most parts of the world, BMW sells the X3 exclusively with xDrive. However, we were surprised to see a rear-wheel-drive version debut in Mexico just a couple of months ago. The luxury automaker has since expanded the availability of the RWD model to South Africa. On top of that, there’s now a special edition

BMW retired the i4 M50 from Europe months ago, but it’s only now that the M60 gets its U.S. visa. The name change reflects the added power from its dual electric motors. Output now stands at 510 horsepower right out of the box. That’s a healthy 41-hp bump over the old version. In the sportiest

The first thing I noticed wasn’t the power. It was the rain. Thick Southern downpour, the kind that turns every patch of asphalt into a mirror. The car sitting in front of me — the new 2026 BMW M2 CS — looked ready to destroy lap times, not wade through puddles. But that’s what made

BMW opened the order books for the new iX3 following the electric SUV’s world premiere at the IAA Mobility Show. It’s been precisely two months since the first modern Neue Klasse broke cover, and orders are already flooding in. In Europe alone, they already extend several months into 2026. CEO Oliver Zipse shared the tidbit

BMW’s color palette rarely disappoints. While an ever-growing portfolio of special BMW Individual colors is partially to blame, the “standard issue” color range leaves little to be desired. And, while we don’t think the Individual catalog is necessarily overrated, we do think there’s more than enough magic in some standard BMW paint options to certainly

Pirelli gives the McLaren W1 cutting-edge tire tech. Pirelli is responsible for many of the world’s premier performance tires, and the McLaren W1 is the latest in a legacy of hypercars that have utilized Pirelli’s tire technology to achieve their incredible levels of performance. With a hybrid powertrain that musters an incredible 1,258 horsepower, and

2024 marked the 13th consecutive year of record-breaking sales for BMW M, with 206,582 vehicles delivered to customers. Through September this year, shipments are up 7.9%, suggesting the performance division is on track for yet another successful year. What makes these achievements even more impressive is that they’ve been reached without a fully electric M
