Automakers offering microtransactions have come under a lot of fire lately, with BMW specifically in the crosshairs. The pressure eased off a little when they ended subscriptions tied to heated seats, but the Internet rage machine has come back for vengeance. Apparently, BMW Slovenija ran ads offering Adaptive M Suspension for just 30 euro per month, which was apparently news to a certain Reddit community. The problem, of course, is that this implies all vehicles ship with an adaptive set of shocks that simply need to be ‘turned on.’ For a low monthly surcharge, of course.

BMW’s lineup has blossomed in recent decades, fueled by the insatiable thirst people continue to have for crossovers. However, everything has a limit, and the axe is about to fall on the X4. We’ve been reporting on the crossover-coupe’s demise since September 2022. However, it wasn’t until a couple of months ago that the company confirmed plans to kill off the niche model. That brings us to today’s question – will the X4 really be missed?

There’s almost nothing better in life than shifting gears as you drive down a tight canyon road or make your way through the turns on a racetrack. The feeling of working the clutch and shifter as the engine reaches the redline in every gear is intoxicating, especially if you happen to be driving a fun sports car or sedan. Unfortunately, the manual transmission seems to be going the way of the dodo bird, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes extinct in the next decade.

The automotive world is mourning the loss of a legendary powertrain. General Motors has confirmed the impending retirement of its celebrated 3.0-liter inline-six Duramax diesel engine.

“All-electric by 2030.” It’s a line that you’ve heard or read dozens of times in the last few years. Politicians, automakers, and even regulatory committees made bold proclamations about the sweeping reform that EVs – and, often unmentioned, hybrids – were bringing to the world. Then, a weird thing happened. 2025 started knocking, and almost as uniformly as they were announced, these goals were quietly rolled back. You won’t see that tagline attached to BMW, though. When it became all the rage to announce the death of the internal combustion engine, BMW remained noncommittal.

In 2019, BMW unveiled a striking version of its X6 SUV, coated in Vantablack, a material that absorbs nearly all visible light. This collaboration with Surrey NanoSystems, the creators of Vantablack, pushed the boundaries of automotive design by rendering the vehicle’s form almost imperceptible to the human eye. The result was a the Vantablack BMW X6 that appeared more like a void than a solid object.

BMW M cars. Since 1978, they’ve come in all shapes and sizes: mid-engined supercars, coupes, saloons, estates, SUVs; and packed everything from zingy four-pot engines to howling V10s.

The 2024 Porsche 911 Carrera is the base model in the model's lineup, but there's nothing entry-level about it. Looking at its stats, the 911 Carrera is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat six-cylinder engine that produces 379 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. That kind of power can rocket the rear-drive coupe to 60 mph from a stop in only 4.0 seconds and up to a top speed of 182 mph.
