<p>Ahead of its July 3 global debut, BMW Motorrad has teased the updated CE 04 electric scooter. A fresh look is suggested by the teaser's new matte blue colour theme. Although specifics are still being kept under wraps, the current CE 04 has a liquid-cooled electric motor with 41bhp and 62Nm of torque. It can accelerate from 0 to 50km/h in just 2.6 seconds and has a top speed of 120km/h. It has an 8.5kWh battery with a 130km stated range.

<p>BMW has won the 2025 24 Hours of Nurburgring with the #98 BMW M4 GT3 EVO of Kelvin van der Linde, Augusto Farfus, Jesse Krohn and Raffaele Marciello. This year’s race was notable not only for its dry and sunny weather — a rarity in a city where the forecast is usually wet, with a chance of fog — but for the open-endedness of the outcome. The power outage stopped racing for hours and caused teams to scramble to reconfigure strategies in a race where every second matters. In case it needed reiterating, even when it’s perfect, the Nurburgring never ceases sorting the men from the boys.</p><p>One of the most heart-stopping moments of the race came when an Aston Martin flipped after a high-speed clash with a Porsche. Thankfully, the driver escaped unhurt, but the crash sent shockwaves through the paddock as the race neared its dramatic conclusion.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/ferrari-disqualified-from-le-mans-2025-over-technical-infringement-121021/"> Ferrari Disqualified From Le Mans 2025 Over Technical Infringement</a></p><p>Through all the tension, Kelvin van der Linde kept his cool. His composed drive in the final stint sealed a hard-fought victory for BMW. It was a weekend when BMW fans will remember this victory for a long time.</p><h2>Indian Racer Claims SP3T Podium</h2><p>At the 2025  24 Hours of Nurburgring, India's Akshay Gupta also claimed a third-place finish in the SP3T class—his first Nurburgring podium. Teaming up with Junichi Umemoto, Lutz Obermann, and Dennis Leissing in the #808 AsBest Racing Cupra, Gupta battled through gearbox issues and a two-hour overnight repair to reach the finish.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Akshay-Gupta-24-Hours-of-Nurburgring-1750685245436.webp" alt="Akshay Gupta 24 Hours of Nurburgring.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The race got off to a rocky start, with early gearbox trouble dropping them from fifth to seventh. Obermann's charge brought the car to third, and Gupta pushed it into second. But a collision at Wippermann and more setbacks let the factory MINI slip past, placing them back in third.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/le-mans-24-hours-2025-ferrari-wins-hypercar-class-with-kubica-porsche-tops-gt3-121004/">Le Mans 24 Hours 2025: Ferrari Wins Hypercar Class with Kubica; Porsche Tops GT3</a></p><p>Gupta and Leissing held their nerve in the closing hours, nursing the wounded Cupra through 101 punishing laps.</p>

BMW Wins 2025 Nurburgring 24 Hours; Indian Driver Achieves SP3T Podium Finish

BMW clinched its 21st Nurburgring 24H win with the #98 M4 GT3 EVO, recovering from P17 on the grid. The race saw a major red flag, a shocking Aston Martin crash.

<p>BMW has offered an early look at the all-new iX3,&nbsp;its first model to be based on the next-generation Neue Klasse platform,&nbsp;ahead of its official debut at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich this September.&nbsp;Production of the SUV is scheduled to begin by the end of the year at the BMW Group’s new&nbsp;state-of-the-art facility in Debrecen, Hungary. However, before all of this, the German&nbsp;automaker has revealed some key details about the iX3’s advanced electric drivetrain and technology.&nbsp;The new iX3 features BMW’s latest Gen6 electric drive system,&nbsp;which is a big step forward in battery and motor technology. It uses new&nbsp;cylindrical battery cells that can store 20% more energy compared&nbsp;to the older battery cells BMW used before. These batteries&nbsp;are built into the car’s structure, which helps make the vehicle lighter and stronger.&nbsp;It improves both how far the car can travel on a charge and how well it performs.&nbsp;The Gen6 system will first appear in the iX3 and then be used in many other BMW models in the future.</p><p>Owing to its advanced battery system, the iX3 prototype can go up to 800 kilometres&nbsp;on one charge according to WLTP standards, and even 900&nbsp;kilometres on the CLTC cycle. With a 400 kW DC fast charger on board, the iX3 makes recharging quick and convenient for any journey. Moreover,&nbsp;it can add over 350 kilometres of range in just 10 minutes of charging. The iX3 has&nbsp;a smart charging flap that opens by itself when you’re ready to charge and closes when you’re done. Thanks to AI, it learns your charging habits and spots,&nbsp;so it knows exactly when to open the flap.</p><h2>Next-Gen BMW iX3: Other Highlights</h2><p>The SUV features bi-directional charging technology, power external devices, or even feed electricity back&nbsp;into the grid. It supports Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V)&nbsp;and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) at up to 3.7 kW, along&nbsp;with Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capabilities. To support this, BMW offers&nbsp;a new 19.2 kW bi-directional DC wallbox charger&nbsp;that allows energy to flow seamlessly both ways, boosting convenience and energy efficiency.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/2026-bmw-m2-cs-globally-debuts-with-523bhp-and-track-focused-upgrades-120861/">2026 BMW M2 CS Globally Debuts with 523bhp and Track-Focused Upgrades</a></p><p>The upcoming BMW SUV will have advanced technology, such as a panoramic display positioned at the base of the windshield, a 3D heads-up display for clearer information projection, and Matrix lighting technology integrated into the next-generation&nbsp;central touchscreen. The car will also boast a redesigned&nbsp;steering wheel featuring touch-sensitive multifunction controls.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/bmw-concept-speedtop-debuts-globally-with-exclusive-three-door-design-and-moonstone-seats-120841/">BMW Concept Speedtop Debuts Globally with Exclusive Three-Door Design and Moonstone Seats</a></p><p>The BMW iX3 is packed with smart driver aids like lane change warnings, road priority alerts, and a radar-powered safe exit&nbsp;system that keeps passengers safe by detecting nearby vehicles. It features the Symbiotic driver assistance system, which lets drivers&nbsp;smoothly intervene with the accelerator&nbsp;or brakes without disabling the active self-driving functions.</p>

<p>This past month, I was added to a WhatsApp Group of over 40 G87 M2 owners from around the country – G87 is the model code for this generation of M2. And this isn’t your everyday group for pretty pictures and dirty jokes, this is a group of M2 owners who go on track days and exchange notes on brake pad compounds and custom tunes – in other words, a community of proper enthusiasts. Of course, the majority of cars out there are autos, but there are some manuals in the group as well, which was another pleasant surprise.</p>
<p>This past month I haven’t put too many miles on the car, but my shrinking fuel mileage suggests that those miles have been at an ever-increasing pace! What can I say, this is a car that encourages you to push it. And now, with almost 3,000 kilometres on the clock, the engine and transmission have opened up nicely and I seem to be getting more adept at flicking through the gears and steering it on the throttle – both hallmarks of very happy motoring indeed. </p>
<p> And, finally, I thought I’d include a picture of the rear for the first time in one of these long-term reports. People complain about the squared off bumpers – front and rear – but I quite like them. They’re unique, they add character and, of course, muscle. In fact, the stance of this car is such that it always looks like it’s waiting to pounce. Not in an elegant feline way, but more in an impatient rottweiler manner. </p>
<p>Combine this aggressive stance with the Brooklyn grey shade – which shines 24x7 thanks to the PPF (Paint Protection Film) – and you’ve got a car that to my eyes, while not classically beautiful, looks very purposeful indeed.</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/long-term-reports/bmw-m2-long-term-review-february-2025-report-119975/" target="_blank">BMW M2 Long Term Review, February 2025 Report</a> <br></p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/long-term-reports/bmw-m2-long-term-review-january-2025-report-119804/" target="_blank">BMW M2 Long Term Review, January 2025 Report</a><br></p>

BMW M2 Long Term Review, March 2025 Report

New BMW M2 CS Breaks Cover with twin-turbo inline-six engine

BMW unveils the new M2 CS with a powerful twin-turbo inline-six. See its key features, engine specs, and performance upgrades in this story.

<p>The 2026 BMW M2 CS has been officially revealed, bringing sharper performance and reduced weight to BMW’s compact M car lineup. Powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six engine, the M2 CS delivers 523bhp and 650Nm of torque, making it the most powerful M2 ever produced. It is offered exclusively with rear-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission, emphasising a purist driving experience. Weight-saving measures include a carbon fibre roof, rear spoiler, and other lightweight components, shaving off around 30 kg. The result is a sharper, faster M2 capable of reaching up to 302km/h. </p><h2>2026 BMW M2 CS: Design Details</h2><p>In terms of design, the new M2 CS evolves the look of the standard M2 with subtle but purposeful enhancements that reflect its track-ready intent. A prominent addition is the sculpted ducktail spoiler at the rear, which not only boosts aerodynamic stability at high speeds but also visually signals the car’s performance focus.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/bmw-concept-speedtop-debuts-globally-with-exclusive-three-door-design-and-moonstone-seats-120841/">BMW Concept Speedtop Debuts Globally with Exclusive Three-Door Design and Moonstone Seats</a><br><br>The display model comes in a muted slate grey finish, offset by striking gold multi-spoke wheels. These are likely matched with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres.</p><h2>2026 BMW M2 CS: Powertrain</h2><p>BMW has unveiled the M2 CS with a serious performance upgrade, led by a recalibrated 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged inline-six engine. Designated S58, this unit now produces 523bhp and 650Nm of torque – offering a marked boost over the automatic-equipped 2025 M2 and bringing it in line with the more powerful M4 Competition xDrive. That said, fans of manual shifting will be disappointed to learn that this version is automatic-only, unlike the older F87 M2 CS, which offered a six-speed manual.</p><p>
    <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

    </div>
  <br>Engineers have also managed to shave off weight without fully stripping the car. In the U.S., the M2 CS weighs 1,710 kg after dropping 44 kg; in Europe, it is slightly lighter at around 1,700 kg, thanks to a 30 kg reduction. The rear seats are retained, signaling its dual role as both a road car and weekend track toy. The lighter build is attributed to extensive use of carbon fibre and a new set of 19-inch forged wheels finished in matte Gold Bronze, contributing to form and function.<br><br>These changes translate into sharper acceleration. The 0–100km/h dash now takes 3.7 seconds, two-tenths quicker than before. Top speed is electronically limited to 302km/h, 17km/h quicker than the standard M2.<br></p><h2>2026 BMW M2 CS: Cabin Layout and Feature Details</h2><p>The interior mirrors the car’s performance ambitions. Occupants are seated in specially designed M Carbon bucket seats trimmed in Alcantara and Black Merino leather, with trademark M stitching. Designed with serious driving in mind, these seats are lighter than the standard ones, have detachable headrests for helmet use, and allow for racing harness installation.</p><p>

    </div>
  <br>The Alcantara-wrapped M steering wheel features&nbsp;dual M mode buttons,&nbsp;paddle shifters, a flat-bottom design, and a red 12 o’clock marker. Carbon fibre accents stretch across the dashboard and centre tunnel, which also displays a bold red “CS” emblem. Additional premium touches include&nbsp;ambient door lighting that reveals exposed carbon when turned off, illuminated door sills with CS badging, an M Anthracite roofliner, and M-branded seatbelts.<br></p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/bmw-i7-gets-pan-india-uniform-pricing-with-free-registration-for-buyers-120853/">BMW i7 Gets Pan-India Uniform Pricing with Free Registration for Buyers</a></p><p>As with other special-edition models from BMW M GmbH, the BMW M2 CS will be available in limited quantities.

  <p><br></p><p>BMW has pulled the wraps off the M2 CS in a series of official images, but full specifications remain under embargo until May 28, leaving enthusiasts with only a visual preview for now.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/bmw-concept-speedtop-debuts-globally-with-exclusive-three-door-design-and-moonstone-seats-120841/">BMW Concept Speedtop Debuts Globally with Exclusive Three-Door Design and Moonstone Seats</a></p><p>Design-wise, the new M2 CS builds upon the foundation of the current M2 but introduces refined details that subtly point to its track-focused character. One standout feature is a sculpted ducktail spoiler at the rear – a clear aerodynamic addition that enhances stability at speed and hints at the car’s performance priorities.<br><br>The preview model is finished in a low-key slate grey, contrasted sharply by gold-coloured multi-spoke wheels. These are expected to be paired with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber tyres, underscoring the coupe’s performance orientation. BMW’s use of forged alloy wheels and carbon-fibre elements could also mean a reduced overall kerb weight versus the standard M2, which weighs roughly 1,742 kg when fitted with a manual gearbox.</p><h2>New BMW M2 CS: Powertrain</h2><p>Power is expected to come from the same 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six engine found in the base M2, although a boost in output is likely, as has been the norm for CS-badged BMWs. While the regular M2 offers a manual option, the CS is expected to be offered solely with an eight-speed automatic transmission. </p><p>Additional hardware upgrades may include a lighter titanium exhaust system, retuned suspension for sharper handling, and a braking system enhanced by carbon-ceramic discs. The show car displayed at Villa d’Este is equipped with an automatic, reinforcing speculation that the manual option will be excluded.<br></p><h2>New BMW M2 CS: Interior Details</h2><p>

  <p><br></p><p>Inside, the M2 CS is expected to reflect its performance pedigree with lightweight construction and distinct visual touches. Custom CS branding appears on key trim pieces like the door panels and centre tunnel, while Alcantara and carbon fibre are expected to dominate the material palette. Unique design cues, including special stitching and contrasting accents, should give the interior a race-inspired feel.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/bmw-india-financial-services-appoints-andreas-modlmayer-as-new-md-and-ceo-120797/">BMW India Financial Services Appoints Andreas Modlmayer as New MD and CEO</a></p><p>BMW has yet to release pricing or availability details, but those are expected alongside the full reveal. Given the CS nameplate’s reputation for exclusivity and elevated performance, the M2 CS will almost certainly command a noticeable price hike over the standard model and be produced in limited numbers.</p>
