BMW says younger buyers prefer touchscreens and voice controls because they want things "done quickly." Meanwhile, other manufacturers are bringing buttons back.

So who's reading the market correctly?

Read the full story on BimmerLife and let us know where you stand. Are you team buttons or team touchscreen?

Mercedes is bringing some buttons back to its mostly touchscreen cabins. Volkswagen and Audi are, too. But BMW? Nope. BMW is steadfast in its mission to make you control your car’s interior with everything except buttons, and it’s blaming that on young people. BMW Group Australia CEO Vikram Pawa...

You don’t need an empty highway to know what the M8 is capable of. Even standing still, there’s a sense of purpose to it. The long hood, wide stance, and subtle aggression all hint at what’s underneath. Then there’s the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8. With 617 horsepower in Competition trim, it delivers effortless speed.
 
Finished in BMW Individual Miami Blue, this one makes even more of a statement. It’s the kind of color that suits a grand tourer built to cover long distances just as comfortably as it attacks a back road.
 
The M8, simply put, is an absolute head turner.

Last week, Turn 5 at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca was ours. Two days of fun, vintage BMW racers on circuit, Bishop family wines, and an up close look at the BMW M Concept Neue Klasse. Festorics 2026 is one we will be talking about for a while. What was your favorite part about the event?

Believe it or not, Legends of the Autobahn was already a week ago. A little mist made for an unexpected start to this gathering, but somehow, it only added to the atmosphere.⁠
⁠
Enthusiasts still showed up in droves, bringing together the cars, people, and passion that make this community what it is during Monterey Car Week.⁠
⁠
A special shoutout to and for putting on an incredible live art performance.⁠

"Monterey Car Week has so much to offer that it is difficult to legitimately label any one event with a convincing superlative. That said, the 2026 Legends of the Autobahn was most likely Thursday’s coolest event. And that was before we even started looking at the amazing registered Audis, BMWs, and Mercedes covering fairways one, two, three, eight and nine."

BMW’s X7 xDrive 4.0i has a way of shrinking around you once you’re behind the wheel.⁠
⁠
From the driver’s seat, it doesn’t feel like a three-row SUV. The steering is light without feeling disconnected, the turbocharged inline-six is smooth and effortless, and highway miles disappear without much thought.⁠
⁠
This particular X7 is also a reminder that spec matters. The Individual Merino leather gives the cabin a richness that’s hard to capture in photos, especially paired with the wood trim and crystal controls. When the ambient lighting comes on after sunset, the whole interior takes on a different personality.⁠
⁠
The X7’s styling has sparked plenty of debate over the years, but inside, there’s very little to argue with. It is a highly luxurious and comfortable place to spend your time.⁠
⁠
If you were ordering one, would you prioritize the Individual interior or put that money toward options elsewhere?
