You know how every car enthusiast has that one car they regret not buying? For me, that car might just be the six-speed manual F10 BMW M5. I had a chance to drive on the iconic Laguna Seca in 2012 and that memory is still imprinted in my mind. Now if you’ve never looked into this F10 M5, you might be missing out on one of BMW M’s best-kept secrets. Let me explain. This car came at a strange time in BMW M history.

At the 24 Hours of Le Mans, speed isn’t just a metaphor—it’s a fact. In the top-tier LMDh category, cars spend more than 50% of the race at over 250 km/h. That’s more than 12 hours at speeds most road cars never reach, on one of the most punishing circuits in motorsport. For BMW M Motorsport, it’s the ultimate proving ground. And the BMW M Hybrid V8, the brand’s first Le Mans prototype in over two decades, was built for exactly this kind of torture test.

The world of baby gear doesn’t usually overlap with the automotive world—unless you count backseat tantrums or ISOFIX anchors. But every now and then, something crosses over that makes you look twice. The Nuna MIXX Next BMW Collection is one of those things. Nuna, known for its sleek, safety-focused strollers and car seats, has teamed up with BMW to create a special edition of its MIXX Next stroller. It’s not a rebadge job.

BMW returned to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2025 with renewed ambition and a two-car effort in the Hypercar category, hoping to build on its endurance racing momentum from the FIA World Endurance Championship. But while the Bavarian brand managed to keep both of its M Hybrid V8s running to the checkered flag, the team ultimately came up short—lacking the pace to challenge the front-running Ferraris and Porsche in a race that was long on consistency but short on chaos.

The diesel era is nearly done. In Europe, diesel engines once reigned supreme—over 50% of new car sales in some countries. But times change. Today, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) are catching up fast. In Q1 2025, PHEVs made up 7.9% of vehicle sales across the EU, EFTA, and UK—barely trailing diesel’s 8.2%. And that’s just one region. Around the world, PHEVs are making a comeback, offering drivers the best of both worlds: smooth electric power for daily errands, and gasoline backup when the road trip calls.

Since the dramatic reveal of the BMW i Vision Dee in 2023, BMW has persistently teased us with glimpses of their “new” Neue Klasse family. Following several prototypes like the BMW Vision Neue Klasse and Vision X Neue Klasse, expectations had grown tremendously. Now, finally, it was time to see whether the Neue Klasse electric vehicles would truly live up to their hype.

It was the slogan that got me first. “The Ultimate Driving Machine.” I don’t know if it was the confidence, the clarity, or the fact that it just sounded cool, but something about that line stuck. It planted the seed long before I ever drove a BMW. And when I finally did? It wasn’t some M car or Autobahn monster. It was a 318i E30—my little panda. It didn’t have a ton of power. Honestly, it didn’t even have that much reliability. But it was raw, it was fun, and it was cool as hell.

The second $500,000 BMW in as many years made its grand debut last month at the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.

While the Skytop will be delivered to just 50 customers worldwide, the Speedtop adds another 70 to the club—making the car still quite exclusive. Now if you’re among the lucky few, the wait won’t be short.
