Drag Races
BMW X3 M40i Drag Races Genesis GV70
While many vehicles in the high-end sector excel at offering luxury, several companies also prioritize performance. When it comes to providing the best of both worlds, BMW is a shining example.
In drag and rolling races, the new BMW M240i takes on the old M2.

Tests
At the Nurburgring, a BMW M5 Competition with 850 horsepower was pushed to its limits.

The BMW i4 M50 is tested by Doug DeMuro.
The iX and the i4 are currently BMW’s sole electric vehicles on the market. Due to its unique appearance and wild interior, the former receives the most of the attention, although the latter is actually more essential.

This new BMW 7 Series is a technological powerhouse with luxury and technology amenities that rival the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Its press release was nearly obnoxiously long, simply because it was jam-packed with new material and techno-jargon.
