2026 BMW X5 M Competition Pricing, Features and Specs

2 days ago | bmwblog.com | Steven Paul

The F95 X5 M debuted back in 2019 and is still kicking today, largely unchanged since a big refresh in 2024. But that’s fine with us, since the super SUV has only gotten better with time, receiving an excellent mild hybrid system and proudly carrying on the S68 twin-turbo V8 torch. Our X5 M facelift review revealed few weaknesses and overall excellent performance; we expect nothing to change for the 2026 BMW X5 M.

Ferrari SF90 vs 1,000-HP BMW M240i: The Drag Race You Didn’t Expect

4 days ago | bmwblog.com | Steven Paul

Ever heard someone describe their vehicle as being “faster than a Ferrari?” Annoyingly, there never seems to be a Ferrari or a dragstrip anywhere nearby. Not the case in one of the latest Carwow drag race videos. Today, host Mat is pitting a Ferrari SF90 against extensively modified cars touting over 1,000 horsepower. A G42 BMW M240i and equally ridiculous Golf R take a run at a Ferrari SF90, and the results will likely be unsurprising (and validating) to those familiar with the B58 engine.
V8 or V12? The 2026 Bentley Bentayga Speed Challenges the Rolls-Royce Cullinan

5 days ago | bmwblog.com | Steven Paul

Bentley makes incredible, high-performing, and aspirational vehicles. And perhaps the most aspirational of the bunch boast an additional tagline after their name: Speed. So simple, but it says you all you need to know: it’s the fast one. The Bentley Bentayga, Bentley’s full-size SUV, has been available in Bentayga Speed guise for years. However, the newest one needs to go without one of the brand’s cornerstones: an effortless W-12 engine. Bentley says the new V8-powered model is better.
2026 BMW M2 and M2 CS Pricing and Ordering Guides Released

5 days ago | bmwblog.com | Steven Paul

The BMW M2 is the most engaging BMW available, and as such, there’s a certain simplicity. That extends to the ordering process; there are few Packages and only a handful of options. The ultimate M2, the G87 M2 CS, is formally here, and ordering/buying guides have already been released alongside model year 2026 ones for the standard M2. Unsurprisingly, there’s even more “simplicity” to appreciate here.
Every BMW Plant and What It Produces

6 days ago | bmwblog.com | Steven Paul

BMW produces vehicles all over the world. And while most of our readership is probably aware of a few different plants — after all, some have been around for decades — knowing exactly which models are produced where isn’t the most common knowledge. Of course, this list could grow and otherwise change as production moves around, especially in light of recent trade policy changes. It also doesn’t account for Plant Debrecen.

From Hofmeister to Hypermodern: BMW’s Design Chiefs Speak Out

1 week ago | bmwblog.com | Steven Paul

Design is a big deal at BMW. Iconic cues like kidney grilles, Hofmeister kinks, and quad-headlights once dominated every model in the lineup. But those days are mostly in the past — that’s what we learned in a quick interview with three of the biggest BMW design names in the game today. We join Adrian van Hooydonk, Maximilian Missoni, and Oliver Heilmer to learn a little bit more about the state of design at BMW in 2025. Adrian van Hooydonk likely needs no introduction, but we’ll do it anyway.

2026 BMW M2 CS (G87) vs. F87 M2 CS: Power, Weight, and Price Compared

1 week ago | bmwblog.com | Steven Paul

BMW officially released details surrounding the 2026 BMW M2 CS, possibly the worst-kept BMW secret in decades. The second-gen M2 CS gets a lot of the ethos and aesthetic that made the first one such a hit. However, there are plenty of differences between the first generation F87 and second-generation G87 M2 CS. In fact, the cars are so different that you might have an easier time than you thought choosing between the two, if you’re lucky enough to be in that situation.
