BMW may not be short on big SUVs, but when it comes to the gems of the line-up it's arguably smaller, punchier models like the new 2020 BMW M2 CS Coupe that best capture that "ultimate driving machine" legacy. The latest iteration of the M2, this further-tweaked model is expected to offer 444 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque.
BMW is adding a plug-in hybrid version of its X3 compact crossover, with the BMW X3 xDrive30e promising all-wheel drive along with the ability to motor on just electric power alone.

BMW has unveiled the new 2020 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe. The car comes in both a 228hp 228i xDrive Gran Coupe and a 301hp M235i xDrive Gran Coupe. The Gran Coupe models are designed to deliver styling and design with everyday 4-door usability and space.
Don't get hung up on whether a four-door can legitimately be called a coupe: focus instead on just what the 2020 BMW M8 Gran Coupe and M8 Gran Coupe Competition bring to the table when it comes to going fast and doing so in luxury. Slotting in alongside the existing BMW M8 Coupe, the new Gran Coupe variants throws in bigger rear seats and the extra doors to better access them, but doesn't compromise on performance for that.
BMW has rolled out the 3rd generation of the track-capable X5 M Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) and the X6 M Sports Activity Coupe. Both vehicles use the same engine with a high-revving S63 V8 that has twin-turbos and generates 600 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque.

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.
