BMW is recalling more than 100,000 vehicles because of a motor defect that could result in overheating and, in “extreme” circumstances, increase the risk of a fire, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a statement posted Thursday. If there is mechanical damage to the engine, it may not be able to start,…

BMW recalling more than 100K vehicles for motor concern linked to overheating

There are safety recalls, and then there are really time-consuming, expensive safety recalls. Toyota is experiencing the latter, having discovered earlier this year a defect in its twin-turbocharged V-6 truck engines that power the Tundra pickup truck as well as Lexus's LX luxury SUVs—at least, those 2022 to 2023 model-year variants built between November 2021 and February 2023 (or the same model years built between July 2021 and November 2022 for the LX). The issue can cause the engine stall unexpectedly; per Toyota's NHTSA recall notices to dealers:

Toyota to Replace Every Single Engine in 100,000 Tundra Pickups and Lexus SUVs

If you were told to think of the ultimate, luxury, performance sedan, there are very few vehicles that come to mind. One of the first ones that sticks out is the BMW M5, a warhorse from the Bavarian automaker. Over the years, the M5 has developed into the ultimate performance sedan. The early 2000s saw the M5 house a screaming V-10 engine that made 500 horsepower, setting a standard for what came over the next two decades. For the 2025 model year, BMW completely redesigned the M5, breathing new life and luxury into the beloved sedan.

The end of the world has seemingly arrived for car enthusiasts as the 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 emerges on US soil, now packing half as many cylinders and half as many turbochargers as before. In an effort to reduce pollution and save the polar bears, the AMG-flavored C-Class sedan ditches its fire-breathing twin-turbo V8 in favor of a turbocharged four-cylinder plug-in hybrid powertrain. This might seem like sacrilege against the worshipers of speed, but don't accuse AMG of heresy until you hear what the new C63 can do.

Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.

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.

BMW’s Neue Klasse generation of electric vehicles will bring with it a suite of compelling and intriguing models, none more so than the wacky high-riding two-door coupe we spotted in early July.

The Mk8.5 VW Golf GTI Clubsport is one of the least surprising cars of 2024. With a facelift arriving for the ‘regular’ GTI and the rest of the Golf range earlier in the year, it was all but inevitable that this more driver focused version would reappear. What is a little surprising is the price: at £41,665, it’s a good couple of grand more than the old version, but it’s not quite as expensive as we feared.
