Nobody can say BMW's latest cars have been forgettable in their styling. The German automaker brought along the gleaming BMW Concept 4 to the Frankfurt Motor Show 2019 this week, and instantly divided opinion about whether its oversized snout was a stroke of design genius or a nasal abomination.
BMW has announced a limited edition version of the 2020 BMW M4 that is meant to celebrate the "storied history" since the founding of the M division in 1972.

BMW has been operating an inductive charging program in Germany and other parts of the world since 2018. The automaker has now expanded the inductive charging pilot program to the US. The pilot program is kicking off in California for 200 interested, qualifying residential home customers who are able to charge inside an enclosed garage space.
BMW's axe is starting to fall, with the German automaker confirming the first of its models which will be discontinued for the 2020 model year. Three cars from BMW's range have been cut, though the company is believed to be only just getting started when it comes to paring back a line-up that has grown considerably over the past years.
BMW is preparing to take an axe to its range, with a legitimately surprising array of vehicles - some, like the Z4, only just launched - reportedly facing cancelation as the automaker attempts to refocus on electrification. More demanding emissions regulations, along with the costs involved in maintaining and refreshing an increasingly wide range of cars, coupes, SUVs, and other body styles, are forcing some aggressive decisions at the Bavarian firm.
BMW has a new SUV that is coming to market according to images that have turned up online. The vehicle is called the BMW Urban X, and it is said to be the smallest SUV that BMW has. The preview images show a small SUV that looks much like the other SUVs in the BMW catalog.
Apple CarPlay has been around for years now and is similar to Android Auto for Android device users.

BMW has announced plans to gouge its buyers by charging them $80 per year for access to CarPlay.
The 2020 BMW 2-Series is a sprightly little compact coupe. Available with either a powerful turbocharged four-cylinder or inline-six motor driving the front wheels, the 2-Series have always felt like a proper BMW. If there’s one thing that has been holding back the existing 2 Series from its places as the Ultimate Driving Machine of German luxury compacts, it’s the fact it only has been available with two doors. And with the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and CLA looming in the distance, BMW needed a proper compact four-door to stand a chance.
BMW has revealed the first all-electric MINI, though the 2020 MINI Cooper SE may not be the EV you were hoping for. Joining the existing plug-in hybrid in the line-up, the distinctive Cooper SE promises punchy performance from its 181 horsepower front-wheel drive powertrain, but range is looking underwhelming.
A bright red German sports convertible may not be the most obvious example of why restraint is in vogue right now, but the 2019 BMW Z4 sDrive30i would like to challenge your conceptions on excess. The entry-level roadster in BMW's line-up, its $50k price tag comes courtesy of a 2.0-liter engine rather than the six-cylinder you might think you need.
BMW may not have a pickup truck in its line-up, but a group of trainees at the automaker clearly decided that needed to change, with a one-off utility version of the BMW X7 SUV. Revealed in time for BMW's Motorrad Days motorcycle event, the unexpected conversion takes the three-row luxury SUV and replaces the rear with a pickup bed you might feel bad about getting dirty.
