I had just finished lunch early and wandered over to the 2025 M235 xDrive, quietly parked in the lot, to snap a few shots. About five minutes in, a tall, slender German gentleman casually walks up, politely interrupting me, and starts rattling off facts about the car. It was clear this guy worked for BMW, but his passion for the 2 Series Gran Coupe was undeniable, and his deep knowledge went far beyond even a well-seasoned PR rep’s pay grade.

If you’re here, chances are you’ve already established that minivans are the ultimate family vehicles. In other words, you’re not a Minivan Hater (and we commend you on that). You know that even the largest 3-row SUVs, with their plush second-row captain’s chairs, just can’t compete with the practicality and space a minivan offers.

When the mid-size iX first arrived in 2022, it brought impressive luxury and tech but struggled to make a significant splash in the crowded EV SUV segment. But BMW is taking its electric SUV lineup to the next level with the 2026 iX M70, set to arrive in the first half of 2025, delivering 650 horsepower, introducing a rare Sport Plus Mode with traction control off, improving electric range, and shedding some weight for good measure.

It’s a tacky move when carmakers produce “special edition” performance cars with nothing more than slapping on different wheels, distinct badging, and some other glossy bits. Frankly, it’s a cash grab and cheap way to generate more hype for an existing product.

Earlier this year, I wrote a quick piece about this $123,500 2025 BMW M4 CS – how it’s sharper, lighter, and more powerful than ever. Gawking at the photos and going over the incredible specs, I pretty much daydreamed what this thing would actually feel like, both on the road and track. Now, having finally driven it, I can say it delivers exactly what I hoped for — and maybe a little more.

In a surprising yet calculated move, Lamborghini has announced it is pushing back the launch of its first all-electric vehicle to 2029, citing a market that isn't quite ready for a full-throttle shift to electric supercars. All this despite reports that the price of batteries is going down. Initially expected to debut by 2028, the Italian automaker’s delay reflects growing uncertainty in the EV landscape, even as other luxury marques race to electrify their lineups.

BMW X3 M50 xDrive might seem like a natural evolution of the 2024 X3 M40i, but its secret weapon lies under the hood: a 48-volt mild hybrid system. This upgrade brings more torque, smooth power delivery, and a refined drive, making the new M50 a clear step ahead. Here's how a'mild' hybrid system gives this next-gen 2025 X3 some seriously unmild results.

They looked sleek, were highly innovative, and gave BMW a technological edge. So then why did the German axe laser headlights just ten years in?

Hyundai’s compact and efficient EV just set a Guinness World Record. The record title itself, and the reason to even set it, seems like a head-scratcher. What was the point of this and what impact will it have, if any? But really, it showcases the Ioniq 5’s durability, versatility, and technological capabilities – and maybe its appeal to adventure enthusiasts.

Surprise, surprise: as 2024 comes to an end, the Ford F-Series is once again the truck champ. For 48 years now, it's been America's best-selling truck, with more than 30 million rolling off dealer lots since 1977, according to Ford. Furthermore, this impressive streak also solidifies the F-Series’ 43rd year as the country’s overall top-selling vehicle. That’s a nod to Ford and to trucks in general.
