Remember the BMW 6 Series? We do too, but it’s been years since BMW discontinued the model. By that logic, it shouldn’t be very easy to buy a new one, either. But apparently, two lucky customers managed to take home a brand new BMW 6 Series last year — six years after the 6 Series […]

Even by BMW’s already expansive luxury standards, some cars sit well outside the normal product roadmap. Built to satisfy a very niche clientele, they slip quietly into history, often remembered only by dedicated enthusiasts. The E38-based BMW L7 is one of those cars — a model whose significance has less to do with sales volume […]

2026 is a big year for BMW. The next-generation 3 Series and X5 will break cover over the next 12 months. We’ll also see the first-ever i3 sedan for global markets, no longer confined to China. Munich won’t be ignoring its flagship either, as the 7 Series is about to receive a facelift. Fresh spy […]

Yesterday, we learned that BMW built more than one million cars last year in Germany. That figure accounted for about 25% of all vehicle assembly in the country. In other words, one in four cars was either a BMW or a MINI. The Leipzig site builds vehicles for both brands. In 2025, it contributed roughly […]

We’ve already established that BMW had a strong 2025 in the United States, posting record sales for the third consecutive year. Shipments rose 4.7% year over year to 388,897 units. We’re now taking a closer look at what worked, and what didn’t, over the past 12 months. To the surprise of no one, the X3 […]

The newest generation of the MINI Cooper debuted just last year, so it would be normal for MINI to leave well enough alone. However, the brand does bring some small tweaks to the Cooper, albeit its mostly aesthetics. Most importantly, the 2026 MINI Cooper is still available in the budget-minded Oxford Edition trim level, although […]

The BMW Group is an automotive juggernaut, operating more than 10 vehicle assembly plants worldwide. A significant share of its production remains at home in Germany, where the luxury automaker runs four factories. The facilities in Dingolfing, Leipzig, Munich, and Regensburg build a wide range of models, from the compact 1 Series to the flagship […]

BMW is rolling out the proverbial red carpet for the 2027 iX3 at an event that isn’t primarily about cars. The Consumer Electronics Show focuses on technology first and foremost, and as today’s automobiles become rolling computers, it makes perfect sense to showcase the electric SUV in Las Vegas. Bear in mind that this isn’t […]

Even before the new iX3 reaches customers, it has a real chance of bagging an important trophy. The second generation of BMW’s electric crossover is one of the ten finalists for the 2026 World Car of the Year. Munich’s first Neue Klasse model in the modern era also has a shot at winning the 2026 […]

The most compact BMW M model available doesn’t see any material changes for the latest model year. That said, it does get more expensive. But that’s hardly surprising: the sports coupe is an always-shrinking sector of the market, it seems, and the M2 is one of (if not the single) best options out there. Anyway, […]
