One-of-a-Kind 2025 BMW M5 Frozen Orange Up for Auction
It’s only been a month since BMW introduced the new M5 and there’s already a special edition of the super sedan. This one-off car finished in Individual Frozen Orange metallic will be the first G90 BMW M5 delivered in the United States. That’ll happen near the end of October, but first, you must win the right to own this car. The unique 2025 BMW M5 will be auctioned on August 16 by Gooding & Company as part of the Pebble Beach Automotive Week. It’ll be offered at no reserve and all proceeds will benefit a good cause. The funds obtained from the sale will go to the Pebble Beach Company Foundation. This charity helps disadvantaged young people in Monterey County with literacy and education programs.
BMW Drops New Ad For The 2025 1 Series In (Almost) Base Spec
Marketing departments typically devote their attention and budgets to high-end versions of a new car. However, that’s not the case here as the latest BMW commercial for the 2025 1 Series features a lowly 120. It doesn’t even have the M Sport Package, so we’re dealing with one of the cheapest configurations of the “F70.”
BMW XM Label Gets An Extra 100 Horsepower From Tuner
The XM isn’t lacking in the power department, especially in Label guise. With 738 hp on tap, it’s the most potent car BMW has ever made. However, that didn’t stop dAHLer from tinkering with the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 hybrid setup to extract even more oomph. The Swiss tuner worked its magic to unlock a further 100 hp from the electrified setup, taking the combined output to an immense 838 hp.
2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe Leaks In Patent Images
The next-generation 2 Series Gran Coupe won’t debut until later this year but the cat is now (mostly) out of the bag. Revealing images published by the Dutch publication AutoWeek show the “F74” from almost all exterior angles. These grainy photos come from an undisclosed patent office where BMW must’ve recently trademarked the car’s design.
Consumer Reports: BMW iX is The Best EV in 2024
Consumer Reports has recently announced the results of its comprehensive evaluation of electric vehicles (EVs) for 2024, with the BMW iX emerging as the top performer. This year, Consumer Reports tested around 50 EVs, focusing on key aspects such as performance, range, comfort, and quality. Out of these, only 14 vehicles made the final cut, predominantly featuring models from Korean and German manufacturers, with a notable scarcity of Tesla entries.
New BMW M135 Stands Out With Thundernight Paint Job
As with every new BMW launched in recent years, the 1 Series F70 has faced criticism for its controversial design. Even the most desirable model, the M135, hasn’t received a warm welcome. If you’re undecided, new images of the hot hatch in right-hand drive from the UK might help you choose a side.
2027 BMW 7 Series LCI Makes Spy Photo Debut
The seventh 7 has been in production for a couple of years but BMW is already hard at work testing the Life Cycle Impulse. Spy shots from the Spanish border show the LCI cloaked in camouflage. Separately, that spy video featuring the new X5 G65 we shared earlier today also shows the stately luxury sedan up close. It’s the footage that caught our attention because it hints at some big changes for the flagship.
Rare BMW M760i The Final V12 For Sale
When BMW unveiled the M760i The Final V12 in early 2022, it didn’t share any images of the super sedan. The special edition was never officially shown in press shots, but you can now see it here. One of the 12 cars that were built strictly for the US market has come up for sale. This all-black epilogue to the V12 engine is up for grabs at a dealer in Morristown, New Jersey.
2027 BMW X5 G65 Test Fleet Caught In Spy Video
The new BMW X5 won’t hit the market until near the end of 2026 but the G65 is already undergoing testing on public roads. The fifth generation of Bavaria’s original luxury SUV has been spotted in Spain where multiple prototypes were being tested alongside other cars. Despite the heavy disguise, we’re getting the impression the next-gen X5 already has the production body.
How the BMW M5 Weight Has Evolved Over Generations
The new BMW M5 G90 is setting a new benchmark for BMW, not only in terms of power, but also weight. Despite being the most powerful M5 ever made, and the first ever plug-in hybrid model, the G90 M5 is also the heaviest: 5,390 pounds (2,445 kilograms), marking a significant increase from its predecessors. Therefore, this raises a crucial question: Has the M5 sacrificed too much in the name of progress? In this article, we take a look at all the BMW M5 generations and how their weight changed over time.
BMW M5 G90 In Speed Yellow Filmed Up Close
BMW brought several M5s at the Goodwood Festival of Speed but it’s this G90 that stood out the most. Hoisted up on a building, the super sedan finished in a striking Speed Yellow paint made a splash at the show held in West Sussex. As you can imagine, we didn’t miss the opportunity to film the look-at-me version with its carbon fiber goodies. No, the roof didn’t cave because of the car’s weight.
2025 BMW M2 Build Your Own is Live on US Configurator
The 2025 BMW M2 coupe marches into its newest model year mostly unchanged but with some new paint options that make the configurator a lot of fun to play with. I assume I wasn’t the only one drooling at the prospect of a Thundernight Metallic M2 when the car launched, only to find that BMW decided not to offer that color on the smallest M coupe in production. Turns out it was worth the wait. The U.S. BMW M2 Build Your Own is live, and we get access to some very special colors at a steep discount from the usual BMW Individual upcharge. Check out the (albeit minor) changes with us.
Electric Wagon Duo: BMW i5 eDrive40 And i5 M60 Touring
BMW has been selling electric vehicles for over a decade, but it took this long to finally get a wagon. It was well worth the wait as the i5 Touring ticks all the right boxes, which you can then jam into the cavernous trunk. Whether you go for the eDrive40 or the hotter M60, the electric 5 Series estate can hold 570 liters with the rear seats in place. Fold the bench and the luggage capacity grows to 1,700 liters.
Electric MINI Countryman SE Poses At Brazilian Launch
The latest-generation MINI Countryman isn’t available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Instead, the BMW-owned marque finally offers a fully electric version. Actually, there are two flavors you can choose from. Aside from the base E model, there’s also a more potent SE. Featured here, it has dual motors and all-wheel drive, hence the ALL4 suffix in its name.
Exclusive Insight: The Future of XPEL Products and Innovations Revealed
When we spoke with Chris Hardy, Senior Director of Sales at XPEL, Inc. in our podcast, he proved to be a wealth of information. We expected to learn a lot; we didn’t expect to find out so much about the future of XPEL products. As an early innovator in the industry, it stands to reason that XPEL would continue to grow and think up new products. Here’s a BMWBLOG exclusive look at the future of XPEL’s products and business.
BMW Werk Leipzig Becomes the Official Partner of RB Leipzig Football Club
Back in May, we reported that RB Leipzig, the football club from the Red Bull empire, was rumored to embark on a new chapter with a new mobility partner: BMW. Today, that partnership officially begins. BMW, which has a plant in Leipzig, will now equip the professional team and club with electric cars from their MINI and BMW collections. The players will soon be driving the fully electric MINI Countryman, produced in Leipzig. In addition to partnerships with AC Milan, Real Madrid, and the basketball department of FC Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig will also rely on BMW as its official automobile partner in the future.
BMW 3 Series Touring vs. Audi A5 Avant: Photo Comparison
Audi just dropped a new wagon – the A5 Avant. While forbidden fruit for the US market, the longroof has close competition elsewhere. It contends with the new BMW 3 Series Touring, which received moderate updates alongside the rest of the model’s body styles for the 2023 model year. Since the Audi A5 is also officially replacing the A4, it’s going to have to be good – let’s see how the Avant stacks up against BMW’s workhorse 3 Series Touring.
Get To Know The BMW X3 M50 With This Walkaround Video
BMWBLOG was given the opportunity to shoot the new X3 at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed last weekend. BMW brought the “G45” in its most expensive flavor by displaying the M50. It replaces the M40i sold during the “G01” years and is the sole M Performance model. Yes, the M40d is dead, but a six-cylinder, non-M diesel is planned for 2025.
New BMW M5 Drops By The M Garage In Poland
Following its first public appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK, the new M5 has embarked on a world tour. Its first stop is in Poland where the BMW branch is showing off the G90 in Fire Red. It’s an eye-catching color marketed in the United States with a localized name: Vegas Red. This seventh-generation performance sedan gets the carbon fiber goodies available as optional equipment. We’re talking about the roof, side mirror caps, and the trunk lid spoiler.
BMW Testing Prototypes With In-Wheel Electric Motors
A couple of weeks ago, BMW took just about everyone by surprise when a mysterious prototype was caught by car paparazzi. It had a sleek coupe shape with obvious Neue Klasse design cues. Even more intriguing were the wheels because there were no visible brake calipers. That sparked speculation about the potential use of in-wheel hub motors.
