BMW brought not one but two new M5s at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. The Speed Yellow M5 highlights the vast offerings of the BMW Individual program while the Frozen Deep Grey model showcases the possibilities of the standard color palette. To elevate the exclusivity of their new super sedan, BMW has announced that up to 150 special colors will be available for the 2025 BMW M5 G90 generation.

The BMW X5, now in its fourth generation, is one of BMW’s most popular cars worldwide, and it pioneered the crossover segment for the brand. The generations include the E53, E70, F15, and the current G05. Each generation of the BMW X5 has its own strengths and weaknesses, making it common for potential buyers to ask: Which BMW X5 generation should I buy? In our opinion, the BMW X5 (E70) will always be a solid choice, with some caveats.

BMW X5 (E70): Timeless Design, Great Handling, and Efficient Diesel Engines

BMW is not ready to close the chapter on internal combustion engines just yet. The German automaker is set to launch a new generation of ICE vehicles, beginning with the G65 X5 in 2026, followed by several other models in the years to come. While many of these upcoming models will continue to utilize existing engines, such as the B58 inline-six and S68 V8, BMW is reportedly developing a brand-new engine.

Designer Li Ding merges retro design with the innovation of modern electric sports coupes in his BMW Vision Root Coupe project. Drawing inspiration from the iconic BMW 2002 Turbo, this concept car demonstrates that new designs can honor the past. A key design element is the headlamp of the classic 2002 race car, known for its distinctive X-shaped tape. This motif is reimagined as the main Daytime Running Lamp graphic, giving the vehicle a recognizable identity. The traditional BMW double kidney grille is also refined into two sleek vertical lines, presenting a clean and modern front end. Below the grille, a wide air flap echoes the original design, framed by a staple-shaped outer panel that transitions into the bodyside.

However, for those seeking the pinnacle of exclusivity and bespoke 911s, a select few boutique Porsche modifiers take the ethos and perfection of the 911 and elevate it to extraordinary levels. Among these revered brands, names like Singer and Ruf have long held the throne. But now, a new contender has emerged, breathing life into a legendary name in the tuning scene: Gemballa.

We were misinformed: previous sightings of what was thought to be the upcoming Audi RS7 Avant (and replacing the existing combustion-powered RS6 Avant as even-numbered Audi cars go electric) have turned out to be of the future Audi A7 allroad. In hindsight, it's pretty obvious that the bulbous arches are not temporary placeholders before more aggressive fenders are tried on, and that point is only highlighted further by sightings of the actual Audi RS7, caught testing near the Nürburgring. With these new images, we can all rest easy knowing that the design department of the RS division has not gone soft, modernizing trademark styling elements for the new era. This is probably not the time or place to discuss an opinion of the G90 BMW M5, but this writer believes Munich could have done more to improve its new super sedan's sex appeal. Still, the M5 has its USPs, and we look forward to seeing its Touring variant compete with Ingolstadt's new beast on US soil.

Let's cosplay as a wealthy car buyer and find out.
