Land Rover Defender OCTA Debuts With BMW V8 Making 626 HP
BMW has inexplicably avoided the lucrative off-road segment, choosing to watch from the sidelines while Mercedes makes a ton of money with the G-Class. The new X5 Silver Anniversary Edition does have an off-road package, but it’s a shy attempt at making an all-terrain vehicle. In 2024, you can get a proper off-roader with a heart from Bavaria. The Ineos Grenadier is offered with inline-six gasoline (B58) and diesel (B57) engines. For extra oomph, the N63 is available in the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.
2025 BMW M5 (G90): Pros and Cons
The new 2025 BMW M5 has arrived, and some dark, smelly corners of the Internet have already decided that it’s worse in every way. In other words, it’s your standard BMW product launch. While the 2025 BMW M5 is far from perfect, it deserves its due credit, too. Let’s balance the G90 M5’s perceived shortcomings with what it apparently achieves and see where we end up via a helpful pros and cons list.
New BMW 5 Series Touring Gets A Matching Roof Box
The new 5 Series Touring has a cavernous trunk that can swallow up to 570 liters with the rear seats in place. Fold the 40:20:40-split bench and the volume jumps to 1,700 liters. Should you need even more room to haul your stuff, here’s the luxury wagon carrying a BMW-branded roof box. The company’s Slovenian division puts the spotlight on an even more practical G61.
BMW To Decide On Hydrogen Car Production This Year
BMW has been experimenting with hydrogen cars since the late 1970s with the 5 Series E12-based 520h. Other relevant examples have included the 750hL during the E38 era with a brawny V12 but its follow-up is the best-known car – the 760Li E65. It’s also worth mentioning the record-breaking H2R, the obscure Hydrogen i8, and the latest effort – the iX5.
BMW iX Second Generation Unlikely With iX5 Looming Over
BMW has confirmed plans to build at least six electric vehicles in Spartanburg, South Carolina by the end of the decade.

Codenamed G65, the future luxury SUV was spotted yesterday testing for the first time as an EV.

We’ve been reporting about the next-generation BMW X5 for about a year and now we have concrete evidence the “G65” is coming. Seen here are the very first spy shots of the new luxury SUV, seemingly caught in fully electric guise. The absence of a visible exhaust system tells us we’re dealing with the first-ever iX5. Despite the camouflage, it’s easy to notice the Neue Klasse design influence.
BMW M2 Duels Toyota Supra In Drag Race Of Manual Sports Cars
In an increasingly electrified automotive world, the BMW M2 and Toyota Supra are beginning to feel like dinosaurs. Both have inline-six engines that do away with hybridization. In addition, the sports cars have three pedals, which is a rare sight in 2024. The coupes also send power exclusively to the rear wheels, which is increasingly less common as the years go by.
2025 MINI Countryman Electric Stars In New Photo Shoot
After recently giving us a closer look at the diesel and gasoline versions of the Countryman, MINI now puts the spotlight on the EV. Not just any iteration of the electric model, but the more potent SE ALL4. Those suffixes refer to the dual-motor configuration with all-wheel drive. Alternatively, the Oxford-based marque also sells a single-motor variant with front-wheel drive.
2025 BMW 1 Series Hits The Assembly Line
BMW is off to a strong start in July by commencing production of two important models. Aside from starting assembly of the M5 G90, it’s now also making the 1 Series F70 as well.

2025 BMW M5 G90 Enters Production
Well, that was quick. A few days after its world premiere, the new BMW M5 has already hit the assembly line. The G90 comes to life in Germany at the Dingolfing plant where the super sedan has a long tradition. As early as the 1980s, pre-assembled bodies for the original E28 were made there. After that, the first-gen M5s were hand-finished by BMW M in Garching. Since the E34, the cars have been fully built in Dingolfing.

BMW Is Below Average In 2024 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study
It’s safe to say that reliability has never been the strong point of luxury cars. J.D. Power’s 2024 U.S. Initial Quality Study is a relevant example considering there aren’t any premium brands in the top 4. With 149 problems reported per 100 vehicles, Ram tops the rankings, followed by Chevrolet with 160, Hyundai with 162, and sister brand Kia with 163. Buick rounds off the top 5 as the leader among luxury brands.

Yes, that includes the love/hate exhaust with stacked dual tips mounted in the middle of a carbon diffuser. This over-the-top build flaunts a rear wing and even a roof-mounted spoiler.
