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.

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.

BMW has been under fire lately because of the new M5’s worryingly high curb weight. However, that was to be expected considering the 550e xDrive isn’t exactly a lightweight car either. With a bigger V8 instead of an inline-six, it’s not a shocker the super sedan tips the scales at 2,435 kilograms. The North American version weighs 5,390 pounds. Lest we forget the G90 is also a substantially larger car than the F90 before it.

Full-frame SUVs represent the pinnacle of capability. If you’re looking for a vehicle that can comfortably carry the whole family to just about anywhere, then this is the segment for you.

The age of the six-figure M2 is upon us. When BMW introduces the M2 CS next year, the meanest iteration of the G87 could cost more than €110,000 in Germany. It’s an exorbitant price tag considering the standard M2 retails for €76,600 in its home market. However, provided our sources are accurate, the M2 CS will still undercut the bigger M4 CS by roughly €50,000.

Four-cylinder engines still don't have the same cachet as their bigger 6-and-8-cylinder siblings, but the auto industry is in love with them. Using a turbocharged 4-pot is an easy way to reach traditional 6- and 8-cylinder power while simultaneously reducing emissions. Although the 4-cylinder might never reach the iconic status of a V8, there are some impressive examples out there.

The new Mercedes-AMG GT isn’t the sports car it used to be. These days, the V-8-powered two-door from Affalterbach is more of a grand tourer, with a roomier interior and a wider range of capabilities thanks to standard all-wheel drive, which comes at the cost of added weight. While it’s not as driver-focused as the previous car, the new GT does the cross-country missile thing very well.

Our friend Jason Cammisa of Hagerty tells today the story of the BMW 850 CSi. And what a story that is. In 1993, BMW introduced the 850 CSi, which has become the holy grail of the 8 Series as only 1,519 were made worldwide, with just 225 reaching the United States. As Cammisa explains in the video below, reviews of the E31 8 Series were far from kind. But BMW had an ace up its sleeve: the M Division. This is how the BMW 850 CSi was born.

V8s get a lot of attention when it comes to enthusiast cars, but the humble six-cylinder has become remarkably prevalent in an era where downsizing and turbocharging give you more power with a lower cylinder count. The six-cylinder strikes the balance between four and eight by providing a mix of an engine that can be smooth, reliable, and highly tuneable in the right scenarios.
