24h Le Mans: BMW M4 GT3 Takes 2nd Place, No Luck for the Art Car
After 24 intense hours at Le Mans, BMW Motorsport’s return to the premier class of endurance motorsport was marked by high hopes and significant challenges. Despite a promising start, including the best time during Wednesday’s practice sessions, BMW’s race took a downturn due to a series of incidents.
2025 ALPINA B4 GT Stars In Photo Shoot From Sachsenring
BMW has refused to launch an M4 Gran Coupe, deciding instead to make the M440i the range-topping version. While a full-fat M4 is not going to happen, the ALPINA B4 has always been an excellent substitute. It’s especially true now that the GT has brought more power, offering a meaty 522 hp and 730 Nm (538 lb-ft). And yes, it has the same “S58” engine as the M3 and M4 models.
New ALPINA B3 GT Sedan And Touring Hit The Track
We honestly weren’t expecting ALPINA to introduce a GT version of the B3 so soon. After all, the B5 GT came at the very end of the 5 Series G30/G31’s life cycle, but the smaller G20/G21 models still have several years left. After a double debut earlier this month, the dynamic duo has hit the Sachsenring track in Germany for a photo shoot.
Save The Date: New BMW M5 Sedan Debuts June 26

BMW Says The 2025 M2 Is An Actual Life Cycle Impulse (LCI)
BMW started deliveries of the second-generation M2 in April 2023, but only a little over a year later, the G87 gets a Life Cycle Impulse. I know what you’re probably thinking – How can this be an LCI when the car looks the same? Sure, there are some new colors and wheels, but the sports coupe carries over the body panels. Standard black exhaust tips and dark badges with a silver contour don’t add up to a full-blown LCI do they?
2025 BMW M4 CS Frozen Isle of Man Green Shows Up At Le Mans
The Isle of Man and Le Mans are nearly 500 miles apart by air but BMW brought them together with the M4 CS. The super coupe is displayed this weekend during the famous 24-hour race with a paint named after the island between Great Britain and Ireland. This matte green finish from the Individual catalog is the launch color. However, customers can also get the hardcore G82 in Sapphire Black or M Brooklyn Grey.

BMW Shows The Elusive M3 GTR E46 Road Car In New Video
There are rare M models, and then there’s the M3 GTR. Born during the E46 era, the hero car from Need for Speed Most Wanted makes a rare appearance in a new official video from BMW Classic. It appears to be part of a special stash of M cars carefully preserved by the German company in an underground facility. If the walls could talk, they’d probably have such interesting things to say about those cars.
2025 BMW M2 In Grigio Telesto: Live From Le Mans
We’re at Le Mans this weekend where BMW will try to replicate the success it had in 1999 with the V12 LMR by competing with the M Hybrid V8.

Porsche Claims Pole at Le Mans Amid BMW Crash Drama
In a thrilling conclusion to the Hyperpole session at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Kevin Estre secured pole position for Porsche Penske Motorsport with a last-gasp effort, narrowly beating Cadillac’s Alex Lynn. Estre clocked a 3:24.634 in the final moments aboard the No. 6 Porsche 963, edging out Lynn by 0.148 seconds. Unfortunately, the BMW WRT hadn’t had the same luck after securing the fastest lap the day before. Earlier in the session, #15 BMW M Hybrid V8 driven by Dries Vanthoor crashed into the barriers at Indianapolis. This incident eliminated Vanthoor from contention and disrupted the session’s momentum.
2025 BMW M240i Zandvoort Blue Shows Up In Configurator
Get used to seeing Zandvoort Blue on something other than the M2. With the 2025 2 Series Coupe, BMW is adding this color choice to the lesser M240i as well.

2025 BMW M5 Is Coming Soon According To New Teaser

However, it has changed the modus operandi for the next-gen M5 by previewing the super sedan on multiple occasions.

BMW Kills The M240i With Rear-Wheel Drive In Europe
When BMW introduced the current-generation 2 Series Coupe in July 2021, the M Performance model originally came only in xDrive flavor. However, a rear-wheel-drive derivative was launched in the following summer. Europeans are already saying goodbye to the tail-happy M240i since it’s gone from the lineup. With the changes brought by the 2025 model year, the sports coupe goes AWD-only on the Old Continent.

Starting on the outside, customers can now opt for Vegas Red and Skyscraper Grey metallic paints for the 2025 BMW 2 Series models.
