BMW employees at the Leipzig plant have been juggling all the complex parts of vehicle assembly, especially the hefty battery modules. However, a new member has joined the team: the AEON humanoid robot. AEON was created by Hexagon Robotics, a company BMW has been collaborating with for years on grunt work, to manage the physically taxing and repetitive tasks that wear people out.
The all-electric 2027 BMW M3 is on its way, and it’s about to raise the bar for what a high-performance sedan can do. BMW is calling this the beginning of a new chapter for the M division, and based on what they’ve revealed thus far, this car is designed from the ground up for speed, control, and ease of daily use.
A 1972 BMW 2002 stands on a quiet Houston street, its Golf Yellow paint giving off a warm glow with the afternoon sun in the same manner it did half a century ago. This two-door coupe, which had only 19,000 miles before heading into a Munich workshop for a tune-up a few years ago, appears like a battle-hardened survivor from a time when cars had true character. Edgar and Nicolas Navarro run Bavarian Econs Tech out of a generic small garage in Munich; they removed the ancient 4-cylinder engine, which used to purr along in traffic, and filled the empty area with batteries and wires. What eventually emerged on the other side is known as the 2002te.
Elias Hountondji gripped the wheel tighter than usual as he steered a BMW M2 through the massive halls of the Munich facility. This was no ordinary track. Hountondji, one half of the Red Bull Driftbrothers, had spent years perfecting slides on circuits and streets but here he drove a 1,100 horsepower beast through BMW’s birthplace.
MINI’s latest collaboration with Deus Ex Machina, the Australian brand famous for handmade motorcycles and a laid-back lifestyle, takes head-turning to new levels. Two bespoke John Cooper Works (JCW) models – one electric and one gas-powered – are on show at the IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich. These one-off cars, called The Skeg and The Machina, combine MINI’s racing heritage with the carefree spirit of surf culture and motorsport toughness.
BMW has just unveiled the 2026 iX3, a fully electric SUV that marks the start of a new era for the German brand. This is the first car to ride on the Neue Klasse platform and a statement of where BMW is going.
BMW Motorrad is known for its showstoppers and the Vision CE, unveiled ahead of the IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich, is no exception. This electric scooter combines safety, accessibility and a radical vision of urban mobility into something that looks like it’s straight out of a sci-fi movie. Why? It has a protective cage, a seatbelt and a self-balancing mechanism.
BMW’s motorcycles roar with precision and power, but their latest creation doesn’t hit the road—it brews your morning coffee. Meet the Big Coffee Boxer, an espresso machine built from the actual 1802cc two-cylinder boxer engine of the BMW R 18 motorcycle. Limited to just 80 units, this $9,185 beauty combines German engineering with Italian coffee expertise, courtesy of ECM Espresso Coffee Machines Manufacture GmbH.
BMW Motorrad has a special talent for building motorcycles that combine precision engineering with a unique look and the new R 1300 R “Titan” takes it to the extreme. Designed for sprint racing, the Titan is a stripped down, nitrous powered monster that’s as beautiful to look at as it is to ride.

Back in the early ‘90s, BMW and Italdesign dropped the Nazca C2. Fast forward to 2025, and Italian designer Sebastiano Ciarcia has revived that magic with the BMW Ethos, a digital concept that gives a big nod to the Nazca C2 while adding a fresh, modern twist.
