BMW Just Unveiled the Most Powerful Rear-Wheel Drive M Car Yet
BMW's smallest sports car just got a serious power boost. The German marque has just unveiled the new 2026 M2 Competition Series (CS). The high-performance variant lacks a manual transmission option that is one of the base model's most attractive features, but it makes up for it by being the most powerful rear-wheel drive M car you can buy. More from Robb Report An L.A. Home With Ties to Leonardo DiCaprio and Adrian Grenier Can Now Be Yours for $25 Million Here's How You Can Attend the Premiere of Brad Pitt's 'F1' Movie Jefferson's Just Added a Straight Rye Whiskey to Its Core Lineup of Bourbons Since its introduction in 2016, the M2 has carved out a niche for itself as the enthusiast's M car of choice. Look at the second-generation CS features and specs, and it's easy to see why. It may be compact—it measures just over nine feet bumper-to-bumper—but it's also a beast. The latest range-topping model comes with an upgraded version of the car's twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that produces 523 horsepower and 479 ft lbs of torque. That's 50 hp more than the standard M2 and 79 hp more than the last-generation M2 CS. Not bad as far as performance bumps go. Thanks to the added horsepower, the new M2 CS can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds, which is 0.4 seconds quicker than the standard M2. Top speed comes in at 188 mph, which his 11 mph faster than the base model equipped with the M Driver's package. Unfortunately, those dreaming of shifting through the M2 CS's gears themselves will be left disappointed. Unlike the standard M2, the variant is exclusively available with an eight-speed automatic gearbox that sends power to the rear axles. This decision is sure to disappoint those who love the M2's six-speed manual—an option reportedly chosen by 50 percent of customers—but it has allowed BMW to deliver more power and better performance than before, which seems like a fair trade to us. Automatic gearboxes weigh more than their manual counterparts, but BMW has utilized carbon-fiber parts and forged wheels to keep the variant's weight down to 3,770 pounds, which is 44 pounds less than the standard automatic M2. It's not light per se, but it does weigh less than any of the other M car currently on the market. The suspension has been tuned to account for the additional power and lower curb weight. The M2 CS doesn't look all that different M2 inside and out. Its muscular shape is more sculpted, especially in the rear, where you'll find a ducktail spoiler coming off the trunk lid. Despite looking similar, the two models will feel different, though. That's because more carbon fiber body panels—including the roof, mirror caps, and rear diffuser—were utilized to keep weight down. The M2 CS will cost $99,775 (after destination) when it goes on sale later this year. BMW has yet to announce how much the standard 2026 M2 will cost, but the difference between the two models is likely to be around $30,000. That's steep, of course, but it's also significantly less than the $124,675 it costs to get into an M4 of Robb Report The 2024 Chevy C8 Corvette: Everything We Know About the Powerful Mid-Engine Beast The World's Best Superyacht Shipyards The ABCs of Chartering a Yacht Click here to read the full article.

Adrian Grenier and Wife Jordan Roemmele Welcome Baby No. 2 in ‘Special' Home Birth — with Only Mom and Dad Present! (Exclusive)
Adrian Grenier and Jordan Roemmele are officially parents of two! The Entourage alum and his wife welcomed their second baby, son Evren Saint-Eros Grenier, on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at their home in Texas, the actor exclusively tells PEOPLE. 'It was a very special experience,' he shares, ' My wife was absolutely incredible…she had such composure and strength.' Grenier says that when their baby boy arrived after a few hours of labor, only mom and dad were in the room — the midwife joined them later — as their older son, Seiko Aurelius, was asleep in the other room. 'Our son was born in a very easeful and peaceful and loving environment,' he adds. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Grenier believes his son's calm entrance into the world is a sign of what's to come as he grows up. 'I can't help but think that Evren is a peacemaker,' he says. "Like I think he's maybe the one who called this in, [like] 'this is the kind of experience I want to have coming into this world'.' As far as how their older son has adjusted to his new role as big brother, Grenier says, 'He has so many kisses for his younger brother.' 'He's a little bit rough because he's like excited,' he explains. 'But he just wants to cuddle him and get him kisses, and he's going to be an amazing older brother.'

'It's creating a really, really intimate, safe container for Evren to adjust from the psychic world to this earthly plane. There's so much energy and intensity all around that we want to slowly transition him into the big wild world out there,' he says. 'And that's including the things that humans have in their energies. People come in, they may mean well, they may be sweet, and they may say all the right things and, 'Oh how cute,' but on a psychic level, they're bringing in their stuff. So we want to protect Evren.' 'It also gives my wife and I some time to adjust and sort of figure out whatever is coming up for us, especially now that we have a toddler and a newborn — to adjust to that schedule,' he explains. Grenier and Roemmele moved full time to a ranch in Texas back in 2020 to 'live more aligned with my core values' and to create 'an environment and an opportunity for my children to grow up with things that I never had a chance to,' the New York City native says.

'I learn so much from the internet, YouTube university,' he jokes. 'So out of a respect and appreciation for that collective pool of knowledge and skill and wisdom I thought, I should just keep putting back into it so that others might learn from my experience or be inspired by what I've done.' And now, with two children running around, Grenier says he works every day to be a good example in hopes that his values will pass on to them. 'My kids are going to do less of what I tell them and imitate more of how I am,' he tells PEOPLE. 'And so I try and do as much of the work that I can personally so that I can be embodied in my values and they can watch me and see me demonstrating how I live." Though tangibly speaking, Grenier says he and his wife do little things around the house that carry out their values, including not purchasing any plastic toys, using eco-friendly brands like Blueland and Freestyle diapers, and using hand-me-down clothing from their first son. 'I'd rather them be in the soil and playing in the dirt with a stick than some plastic item,' he says. 'I recognize that not everybody has chosen to live this lifestyle. Many people live in cities, but I would say at the very least, you could limit the amount of plastic that you [and] your kid encounter." Read the original article on People
