In a new video from our friends over at Throttle House, the pair take an in-depth look at the newest Mercedes-Benz AMG S63. The new rig develops over 1,000 torques and 791 horsepower, which means it presents stiff competition for almost anything that pulls up next to it. In this event, it’s the newest available version of the Audi S8 and BMW’s own electric flagship, the i7 M70.

A global stop-sale affecting a significant portion of BMW’s model lineup has caused disruptions for many dealerships, potentially impacting hundreds of thousands of vehicles worldwide. The news first broke in Australia, reported by CarExpert. The delivery halt, which affects both new and used vehicles, has left approximately 30,000 cars undelivered in Australia, with the global impact remaining unclear until BMW identifies which models require rectification. BMW Germany also confirmed for BimmerToday that the recall is currently being extended in the form of a delivery stop, with around 175,000 vehicles affected in Germany alone.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van Becomes More Luxurious Than A Maybach

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ll be aware that multi-million-dollar cars require eye-watering amounts of money just for simple maintenance and servicing, especially if it’s a Bugatti. Over the years, we’ve had many Bugatti owners tell us how insanely expensive it is to own a hypercar. While a 27-year-old recently claimed that his $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Carbon goes a mere 62 miles on a full tank of fuel, renowned entrepreneur and influencer Manny Khoshbin has given a detailed account of the ownership cost of his Veyron in the past. He claimed that all fluids have to be changed each year, and that costs a whopping $25,000.

The owner of a $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron was shocked when the official service center quoted him $12,000 to replace a faulty door mirror switch. The clever owner took it to a supercar specialist who swapped it with an identical part from a Volkswagen van, which cost just $1.

Honda has long been known for producing some of the most reliable and fuel-efficient vehicles in the market. And while Honda has been stepping up its game by making its cars more luxurious over the years, buyers have always had to turn to Acura for their luxury fix. Acura is Honda's luxury division, after all.

The Honda With More Luxury Than A Lexus... And It's Not An Acura

You're probably wondering how in the world we can claim a Toyota is more luxurious than a purpose-built Mercedes-Benz S-Class. We can't blame you either, as the Toyota in question isn't sold anywhere outside its home country of Japan. Those in the know may realize what we're on about, so we'll quit beating around the proverbial bush and cut to the chase.

The new M5 Touring can store 500 liters (17.7 cubic feet) of cargo behind the rear seats. Fold the 40:20:40-split bench and the luggage volume jumps to 1,630 liters (57.6 cubic feet). If that’s still not enough, BMW has just what you need. It’s collaborating with a supplier to offer a roof rack compatible with the G99. That’s to be expected, right? Yes, but there’s more to it than that.

In 2022, BMW partnered with AirConsole to bring video games directly to their vehicles. One immediate advantage AirConsole offered was the ability to connect multiple devices – like phones, for example. Today we see tangible benefits to that multi-device functionality, as UNO is coming to over 500,000 cars starting August 21st, 2024.

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.

The odds were against the M3 Touring making it to North America from day one. Since BMW didn’t bring the regular “G21” 3 Series Wagon to the United States, it would’ve been too expensive to homologate the “G81”. The accountants from Munich crunched the numbers and ultimately decided it just wasn’t worth it given the niche appeal.

With all the craziness of Monterey Car Week , spy shots of the new Audi Q3 with minimal camouflage slipped beneath the radar, but this is the most significant styling update we've had on the baby SUV since we spied the Q3 winter testing in a full vinyl wrap with fake bumper elements. That being said, the prototype you see here is not completely undisguised, as confirmed by some of the black foil peeling back or simply being left unapplied in certain areas.

We still can’t wrap our heads around the idea the 4 Series might be gone from the lineup in a few years. That’s what sources close to Munich have been saying lately, but nothing is official at this point. Meanwhile, BMW took the current-generation coupe and convertible for a trip to the Alps that included a photo shoot.

This is our first official look at the M2 CS Racing successor slated to compete in the 2026 season. It doesn’t have a name yet, but this is clearly a 2 Series Coupe.
