The 2026 BMW X7 offers little in the way of meaningful change, although it is the final year of the first-generation BMW X7. BMW makes Parking Assistant Professional standard on the model, but no meaningful changes anywhere else. As long as you’re a fan of the car’s polarizing aesthetic, that just means more of a good thing. The model’s refresh just a few years ago keeps it looking fresh despite now entering its seventh model year.

We’re spending a week with the 2025 BMW X3, and there’s a lot to take in. It’s the first year of the nameplate’s fourth generation, which means big changes inside and out. It also means expectations are high; after all, there wasn’t much bad you could say about the previous generation, particularly the range-topping and extremely dynamic X3 M model. They say change is good, and we’re happy to report that somehow, BMW found ways to improve.

When BMW unveiled the i8 in 2009 at the Frankfurt Auto Show and then later in 2012, it looked like a concept car had broken out of the auto show floor and somehow made its way onto public roads. It was unlike anything the brand had built before: a wedge-shaped, carbon-fiber-bodied spaceship with butterfly doors, electric drive, and a three-cylinder engine that sounded more at home in a compact city car than in a six-figure sports car.

The BMW X5 has been in production since the early 2000s. It’s the first SUV the brand brought to market, and wasn’t immediately a critical success. That tune has changed through the truck’s quarter-century run, as the brand got better acquainted with building SUVs and customer expectations. In fact, the BMW X5 is consistently one of the brand’s top performers. In 2024, the X5 and its sportier twin the X6 sold 275,318 units combined. That’s more than 10 percent of the brand’s total global sales.

Unacquainted with racing, but newly familiar with the M2 Racing that just got released? You’re probably wondering why BMW packaged the B48 inline-four with the race car as opposed to 3.0-liter six from the roadgoing M cars. After all, M stands for Motorsport, doesn’t it? The B48 four-cylinder isn’t even appear in any full M cars. As it turns out, BMW has perfectly valid and downright smart reasons for staying away from the S58 six-cylinder we know and love. So, what gives?

Of course, there’s no shortage of good competition these days. One competitor, the Audi RS7, is a rivalry decades in the making. Another, more recent contender, however, may be a better challenger to the throne: the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.

All-wheel drive. Well over 500 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged engine. Two-door coupe. On paper, the BMW M4 CS and M8 Competition sound like an ideal duo. And perfect for a nail-biter of a drag race, right? Apparently, the guys over at Carwow thought the same. Mat Watson puts the M4 CS head to head with the biggest and baddest M coupe you can buy to see which one will come out on top in a series of quarter-mile drag and roll races. Carwow begins by discussing the raw specs of these two monsters.

The Lexus ES isn’t always mentioned in the same sentence as the BMW 5 Series. However, the two are staunch competitors. Both offer a supple ride and quality interior with a focus on comfort. Though separated by quite a price gap — around $10,000 in the US — their proportions and intended purpose are quite similar. Barring, of course, the fact that Lexus hasn’t developed a high-performance ES to do battle with the range-topping BMW M5 models.
