Is The BMW M2 Still the Best M Car? Video Review
Uncorrupted by hybridity and all-wheel drive, the M2 is the simplest, most barebones, and cheapest M car you can buy. And I wanted to see if it was the true one-car enthusiast solution, so I reviewed a manual one for our newest video on the
Motor1
YouTube channel.
For 2025, the M2
got some updates
, most notably a 20-horsepower bump, optional silver wheels, and nine new colors. The interior is now unified with the M3, which has new air vents and ambient lighting, and you get the excellent iDrive 8.5.
Otherwise, it is business as usual inside the M2, which is it say it feels like an
M3
. At the time of filming, the 2025 M2's base price was $66,375, but the tariffs have bumped that price to $69,375. Still, it's almost $10,000 cheaper than an M3 with identical hardware, making it a relative bargain.
As far as how it drives and what it's like to live with, you'll just have to watch our video. It's an incredible performance bargain. But is it the perfect one-car solution?

374-Foot-Long COSMOS Launches A New Era Of Superyacht Design And Construction
As a writer, my goal is to simply capture the essence of each new superyacht that gets launched by sharing my feelings, opinions, and observations and insider knowledge too so you all can get a better understanding of just how much work, passion, money, time and artistry goes into each new superyacht that gets launched. But, when it comes to capturing the essence of where the future of superyacht design can go, my words might pale in comparison to the images of the 374-foot-long COSMOS that Lürssen just launched in Germany. In fact, Lürssen Group CEO Peter Lürssen is probably better at describing COSMOS than I am too. 'This is a rather special project to coincide with our 150th anniversary,' he says. 'While it is true that as a custom shipyard, no two yachts that leave our halls are ever the same, there are some that leave an indelible mark on our history – COSMOS is undoubtedly one of those yachts.' And thanks to COSMOS's courageous and visionary owner's desire to create something truly unique, her inspired architectural and interior design by Marc Newson has already set a new benchmark when it comes to superyacht design and construction. Marc Newson brought a fresh and daring perspective to the design that's culminated in a sleek, sculptural and futuristic superyacht that's unlike anything else. 'Working with an immensely creative client has enabled rare opportunities to push the boundaries,' Marc Newson comments. 'Everything from the smallest detail to the silhouette – outside, inside, and everything in between – is our design. We have, therefore, been able to exploit and explore every creative possibility uninhibited. This liberating free rein afforded the project a joyful, organic evolution, one which resulted in a satisfying novelty and coherence, the aesthetic of which remains very much within our lexicon.' One of the features that made me say 'Wow' to myself when I first saw COSMOS's glass-domed owner's study. The study is quite feat of glass engineering developed by Lürssen that required them to bend large sections of thick glass, free of imperfections and with crystal clarity, to create the 360-degree panoramic views from atop the yacht. The glass theme is maybe even more noticeable on the cabin deck, where a continuous glass band surrounds the entire upper level of the yacht. The glass-encased observation lounge located forward in the bow beneath the helipad is an innovatively distinctive design flex. While the open aft deck seamlessly blends the luxury of a swimming pool and Jacuzzi with lots of comfortable space for sunbathing. Since COSMOS is also engineered for long-range, remote cruising the hull is reinforced to Ice Class 1D, enabling safe operation in light ice conditions. The owner is also committed to innovation, so COSMOS is also going to be used to a research installation of a methanol fuel cell that uses methanol to produce hydrogen, which is then converted into electricity. I told you a picture is worth a 1,000 words, right? Well, in the case of COSMOS, yes. But, not necessarily when it comes to an in-depth interview with Lürssen Group CEO Peter Lürssen. Stay tuned to read my upcoming 'Superyacht Influencer Interview' with him soon.

The GP1 Looks Like a Greatest Hits Album of Analog Supercars
The latest car news, reviews, and features. A British outfit called Garagisti & Co. is making some waves this week with gorgeous renderings of its super-limited, super-expensive hypercar called the GP1. The design is supposed to be inspired by 'icons of the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s,' and the spirit is all old-school sports driving awesomeness. Non-turbo V12, six-speed manual, rear-wheel drive, and an interior like a midcentury modern psychiatrist's office. Or maybe I'm just projecting that last bit—because it looks like driving this thing would be deeply therapeutic after being bombarded by screens in any other modern vehicle. The car looks complete in these images, and looking at them on a small screen, I thought they were photos at first myself. But the company's press release confirms that they are, in fact, digital renders. Garagisti & Co. states that the car is 'now in advanced stages of engineering and production.' I'm guessing the company's people wanted to roll out the idea to be part of the hypercar hype-wave that is Monterey Car Week, which is currently underway. Unfortunately, few of us will ever see one of these in person anywhere, let alone drive it, as the GP1's creators are only planning to make 25 and charging over $3.3 million (£2.45 million, to be exact) each. Still, it's a very pretty interior and exterior design that simultaneously looks unique while reminding me of a few different cars in the elite class of low-production performance machines. I see a lot of Ford GT, some Lamborghini, Lancia, some Ferrari … any elements look particularly familiar to you? Garagisti & Co. has some big-name supplier collaborators, like Brembo (brakes), Öhlins (suspension), and Xtrac (transmission). But the fact that it's making a 'completely new and bespoke' engine is exceptionally wild. And probably a big part of why the price is so high. I think it's madness to make an entirely custom engine just for 25 cars—how the heck is anybody supposed to find parts for this in five years? Very cool, extremely impractical. I guess that's what cars at this level are kind of all about, though. Garagisti & Co. The V12 will have 6.6 liters of displacement, rev to 9,000 rpm, and claim 800 horsepower (and 'over' 516 lb-ft of torque). Since the car is only supposed to weigh 2,200 pounds (dry), that should be enough juice to enter orbit. It's not clear where the motor's at in development, but conceptually, it sounds awesome. So does the ethos behind the whole project. 'Our vision for Garagisti was born from a simple question,' said Garagisti & Co. co-founder Mario Escudero in a press release. 'What if the golden age of analogue supercars never ended? What if icons like the Countach Evoluzione had sparked a lineage rather than a dead-end? What would the great cars of the '80s, '90s and early 2000s look like today if they'd evolved with new technology but kept their analogue soul? We brought together some of the best minds in the world and answered that question with our hands, our hearts, and our passion. The GP1 is our answer.' Swipe through here to see some more renders of this magnificent beast: The company describes itself as 'a coalition of specialists, not generalists,' listing out key collaborators: I like this trend of super-fancy cars leaning into the ideas of tactility and analoginess. Here's hoping the notion trickles back down to more basic brands and old-world warmth makes a comeback over the kitchen appliance aesthetic so many mid-range cars are leaning into these days.

BMW Is Reportedly Planning an Off-Road-Ready G-Wagen Rival, And It May Replace the XM
The once-humble Geländewagen has become a major moneymaker for Mercedes-Benz, and other automakers are taking notice. Both Audi and Genesis have revealed concepts in recent years that could evolve into their own G-wagen competitors. Now, BMW is reportedly laying out plans to start building a direct G-Class rival of its own, starting in 2029. That word comes from both Automotive News and Autocar, which report that BMW's would-be flagship off-roader will be based on the same CLAR platform as the X5 and built in South Carolina alongside several of the company's other off-roaders. The car, which has allegedly been code-named "G74," would effectively replace the performance-focused and supposedly ill-fated XM as the flagship of the entire BMW SUV lineup. Although the report is not necessarily the same thing as a confirmed product plan, the idea would make a lot of sense for BMW. G-Wagens have a notoriously high average transaction price, making them a major revenue driver for both Mercedes-Benz itself and its dealerships. BMW has a large selection of massively successful crossovers, but its only particularly expensive offering is the struggling XM. By offering an off-road-focused luxury liner in place of an odd-looking SUV designed for on-road driving thrills, BMW can reach a more established segment of high-price buyers. The BMW off-roader could also have a halo effect on what the brand is selling with its other crossovers, which have traditionally been marketed by the group as "sports activity vehicles" and have rarely been sold off the strengths of their off-road capabilities. If the BMW X-Series flagship is an off-roader first and foremost, the brand could opt to market those bona fides in its X3s and X5s, too.
