BMW M Testing Cars With Synthetic Fuel
The death of the internal combustion engine has been greatly exaggerated. Even the world’s biggest automaker believes EVs won’t ever fully replace ICE cars. Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda recently said electric cars will never exceed a 30% market share. Where does that leave the remaining 70%? Combustion engines (and maybe) hydrogen.
BMW’s 20th Art Car: Julie Mehretu’s Vision on the BMW M Hybrid V8
The latest BMW’s Art Car project was unveiled this week in Paris at Centre Pompidou in front of a global audience. The new art car showcases the exciting blend of art and engineering.

BMW has generally strayed away from rolling out lengthy teaser campaigns but it’s doing things differently for Skytop. Even though the gorgeous convertible has leaked in full, the German brand is sticking by its original plan. Case in point, BMW Group design boss Adrian van Hooydonk has shared a new image of the concept car.
Vegan Trends vs. Leather Demands: BMW’s Dilemma
Most manufacturers these days are making a big deal out of switching or preparing to switch from animal products to fully synthetic and more sustainable alternatives. This is fine in cheaper cars, most of which already had faux leather, but for more expensive cars, buyers are still demanding processed cow hides as their upholstery of choice.
2025 MINI Cooper S British Racing Green Poses In JCW Trim
Having made its debut in early February, the new MINI Cooper (F66) has embarked on a world tour. Its latest stop is Italy where the 3-Door with gasoline engines has touched down for a photo shoot.

What Cars Compete with the BMW M4 CS?
The new 2025 BMW M4 CS starts at $123,500 before destination and handling. While a bit of a bargain compared to the nearly $140,000 that its big brother M4 CSL commands, it’s still some serious cash. And it begs the question: what else could you get for the same money? While we don’t have to worry about these kind of problems here, we’re happy to help you spend your $125K (give or take), humble reader. Here are some cars you might want to look at if you just have to spend six figures on a sports car.
Unfazed By Leaked Video, BMW Shows New Skytop Teaser
Video? What leaked video? BMW wants to wipe out your memory about seeing the Skytop the other day to hype up its new Skytop concept.

From this angle, you can’t really tell that the new concept is based on the 8 Series Convertible.
The New BMW Art Car Looks Even Better In The Metal

BMW Skytop Concept Makes Early Debut In Leaked Official Video
For the past few days, BMW has been sending embargoed assets of the new Skytop concept to various media outlets. It seems that one of them has refused to play by the rules, deciding to spill the beans. The official premiere is set for later this week at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, but this video exposes the one-off in all of its open-air glory.
BMW M Hybrid V8 Art Car Revealed Ahead Of Le Mans Race

BMW Claims It Would Be Bad For Business To Force People Into EVs
Some luxury automakers are rushing to set cutoff dates for cars equipped with combustion engines. Jaguar will be going purely electric as early as next year, with Volvo to follow in 2030. Other brands such as Audi and Bentley intend to go all in on EVs early in the next decade. While Rolls-Royce and MINI will jump on the zero-emission bandwagon around 2030, the core BMW brand has a different strategy.
BMW M2 G87 Frozen Portimao Blue Gets M Performance Parts
Even with zero options, the BMW M2 G87 is one of the most desirable cars an enthusiast can buy. It sticks to the rear-wheel-drive recipe with a manual gearbox in a relatively small package. The second-generation model remains a tossable sports car with a strong inline-six engine. Should you want to spice it up even further, the M division has got you covered.
BMW Drops New Teaser For Upcoming Concept Car
Well, color us intrigued. Hot on the heels of yesterday’s teaser for BMW’s upcoming concept, a new preview image is out. We’re likely dealing with the very same car, but what exactly are we looking at?

BMW X Series Recall Notice For Seat Belt Issues: Check Your Vehicle
According to reports, BMW is recalling 3,256 vehicles due to a malfunctioning seat belt warning light.

BMW Has Built 7.5 Million Cars That Support Over-The-Air Updates
BMW has gone from being the ultimate driving machine to a company that builds rolling computers. Nowadays, you can play split-screen games or watch soccer/football on the iDrive’s center screen. Alternatively, you can sit in the back of a 7 Series and watch a movie on that giant 31.3-inch, 8K-resolution wide display. Post-purchase software revisions and additions make the experience better.
Rolls-Royce Can’t Keep Up With Demand For Two-Tone Cars
Rolls-Royce posted record sales in 2023 when it delivered 6,032 vehicles. While the ultra-luxury brand has never been about volume, selling cars is what ultimately keeps the lights on. The Goodwood-based company part of the BMW Group empire strives to offer the best customization options in the business. It’s likely the only automaker in the business that doesn’t sell two cars alike. Even so, more bespoke possibilities are on the way to lure in buyers.
2025 BMW i4 M50 Liquid Copper Makes A Splash At BMW Welt
BMW made Liquid Copper Metallic famous by using it as the launch color for the i7 M70. On the electric M Performance 7 Series, the Individual paint was part of a two-tone finish.

Track Review: 2025 BMW M4 CS – The Ultimate ///M Driving Machine
There are very few sportscars that excite me these days, especially when everything gets bigger, greener and techier. However, one moniker, ‘CS’—short for Competition Sport, not Club Sport—continues to hold a special place in my heart. Now a celebrated badge within the BMW M lineup, ‘CS’ signifies a new breed of track-ready daily drivers. And the new 2025 BMW M4 CS is the latest supped up M model to join the lineup.
