Watch the Electric BMW M3 (Silently) Lap the Nürburgring
We knew it was coming: An electric BMW M3 . In February, we got our first glimpse of the EV performance car's battery and motors in action on an icy lake bed . Now, a new video shows a prototype of the electric M3 taking its talents to the Nürburgring. And doing so silently. A video shot by CarSpyMedia shows the new electric M3 tearing up the Green Hell. It may not be making any noise—other than tire squeal—but it looks like it's moving quickly as hell. The video is relatively short, but we get multiple angles of the new M3 in action, including some close-ups of the prototype on the road. The M-inspired camouflage does a decent job of hiding the M3's final looks, but we can still clearly see the car's extended fenders, aggressive bumper treatments, and the Neue Klasse design language. The overall shape gives off shades of the 2002, while the slim light fixtures and tiny kidney grilles are a far cry from the current G80 model. At least, they look much smaller under all that camouflage. So, how much power will this electric M3 produce? Unfortunately, the details are still pretty murky. BMW has previously suggested that an M3 with an electric powertrain could easily exceed 600 horsepower, with even more powerful 700-horsepower variants possible later in the vehicle's lifecycle. We won't know much about the electric M3 otherwise until we gets closer to the vehicle's debut date. We expect to see the electric 3 Series this year, but the M3 variant likely won't debut until sometime in 2026, before going on sale in 2027. The first vehicle to show off the brand's new Neue Klasse design language will be the iX3 electric SUV later this year.

Stargate UAE AI Deal Stalls Over U.S. Chip Rules
AI behemoth Stargate UAE has hit a roadblock because U.S. officials are still hashing out security terms for exporting advanced chips. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), OpenAI, Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO), SoftBank Group (SFTBY) and UAE's G42 teamed up last month after President Trump's Middle East stop to launch what could become a 5-gigawatt AI data-center powerhouse. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. The first 200-megawatt chunk was supposed to go live in 2026, operated by OpenAI and Oracle, but nobody's signed off on the chip-export rules yet, so the deal remains on ice. Although G42 says the project builds on the new U.S.-UAE AI Acceleration Partnership, which aims to foster safe, responsible AI, Washington still worries about the UAE's China tiesrecalling how the UAE let Huawei (now under U.S. fire) roll out 5G during Trump's first term. OpenAI and G42 both have Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) backing, but even that doesn't erase concerns that Chinese hardware or talent could leak U.S. tech to adversaries. Because of those unresolved security questionslike banning Chinese gear on site or limiting who can work therethe Commerce Department, Nvidia, OpenAI, G42, Microsoft, Oracle and SoftBank all declined to say when any approval might come. And adding drama, Elon Musk recently hinted he might torpedo the whole thing unless xAI gets a seat at the table. Investors should care because if the UAE pushes back on U.S. curbsinsisting on looser rulesthe entire Stargate plan could stall, undermining a high-profile attempt to export American AI clout. Watch for any new U.S. export guidelines and whether Abu Dhabi caves to get those cutting-edge chips; otherwise, this megaproject could sit stalled well past 2026.

Trump's $14B Power Play: Japan Buys US Steel--But America Keeps the Keys
The $14.1 billion takeover of United States Steel (NYSE:X) by Japan's Nippon Steel is alive, kickingand reportedly on track to close before a key June 18 deadline. Sources close to the matter say talks with the U.S. government are moving toward the finish line, with negotiations centering around national security, governance, andof coursepolitics. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) hasn't wrapped up its investigation just yet, but insiders say it's likely to greenlight the deal before time runs out. Markets are pricing in success: US Steel shares have hovered above $53 since late May, brushing right up against Nippon's $55-a-share offer. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 8 Warning Sign with X. But this isn't your typical cross-border M&A deal. Under the current framework being discussed, US Steel will stay headquartered in Pittsburgh, retain an American CEO, and operate under a U.S.-majority boardwith some positions needing government signoff. Trump, who's taken a victory lap on the campaign trail, says his push added a $5,000 worker bonus and locked in $9.2 billion in future steel investments. He's also promised no layoffs, no outsourcing, and full blast furnace capacity for a decade. Whether all of that makes it into the final signed documents remains to be seenbut the direction is clear: Japanese capital, American command. There's still a court case technically underway, stemming from the Biden administration's earlier attempt to block the deal. The Justice Department just asked for an eight-day extension to keep negotiatinganother signal that both sides are close. And if this closes? Nippon Steel won't just own a symbol of American industry. It'll own a politically engineered hybridwith a Japanese parent and a very American playbook. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
