There’s rare, and then there’s the M3 GTR Strassenversion. For years, we believed BMW built 10 of these at €250,000 apiece. In truth, the only E46 3 Series ever fitted with a V8 from the factory is even rarer than that. Indeed, just three are out there, and BMW owns them all. One of those […]

Scroll through the comments under almost any BMW post about an electric model — especially something Neue Klasse like the upcoming iX3 — and you’ll see a familiar chorus: “BMW should stop making EVs.” “Stay true to your roots.” “We want gasoline cars.” “No one cares about electric vehicles.” “Keep BMW M brand pure.” I

BMW’s next chapter may be electric, but it’s not exclusively electric. As the Neue Klasse family of cars prepares to redefine the brand’s EV lineup, the Bavarians are keeping a wide powertrain portfolio alive — from gasoline and hybrid to hydrogen.

Few vehicles in BMW’s modern history represent such a bold leap as the X7. Before it arrived, BMW’s largest SUV—the X5—could only pretend to offer three-row practicality. But as American buyers demanded more space, more comfort, and more luxury, the automaker realized there was a real need for something above the BMW X5. The result

BMW has been selling a Z car almost continuously since 1989, when the Z1 debuted. There were a few short breaks between generations, but the Zukunft (German for “future”) has been a fixture in the lineup for more than 30 years. Now, however, the clock is ticking for the compact roadster in its current form.

Some automakers claim battery EVs are the only feasible way to curb emissions. Well, BMW begs to differ. Munich argues there are multiple paths to decarbonization. In addition to investing in hydrogen, it believes cleaner fuels remain a viable solution to reduce CO₂ emissions. Since the start of this year, diesel cars assembled in Germany

When Max Missoni quietly joined BMW in late 2024, it may not have seemed like a seismic event. Yet for those who follow automotive design closely, the move signaled one of the most consequential shifts in Munich’s creative direction in years. The former Polestar Head of Design, who helped shape one of the most acclaimed

BMW has revived the Neue Klasse name, but not as a series of sedans and coupes. Instead of repeating the strategy from over 60 years ago, Neue Klasse now represents an all-encompassing product portfolio. In the first wave alone, BMW plans to launch 40 new or updated models by the end of 2027. Nearly every
