So, if you’re looking to upgrade from a cramped hatch to an active, hybrid‑friendly, and spacious ride, the 2 Series Active Tourer is already awaiting your input. Get behind the wheel, feel the power, and happily do the packing!

2. BMW i4 (Q1 2022)

BMW i4: The Future is Rolling Right Into Today

Strap in, because the BMW i4 is about to redefine what an electric car means—no, seriously, it screams the word “future” louder than a rocket launch at sunrise.

Two Versions, One Electrifying Experience

• eDrive40 – Think of this as the dependable roommate who’s always on time. It packs a single electric motor on the rear axle, delivering a respectable 335 horsepower and 430 Nm of torque. Not a superstar, but absolutely solid.
• M50 – This is the adrenaline junkie of the pair. It’s a performance luxury wand with a jaw‑dropping 536 horsepower and 794 Nm of torque. Best of all, it rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in a mind‑blowing 3.7 seconds. When speed meets style, BMW shows you how to throw the “ordinary” out the window.

Why the M50 is a Head‑Turner

Luxury usually strolls—you’re likely to see a refined, unhurried glide. The M50 flips that script, demanding the spotlight with a heart that beats like a drum and a drive that feels like a roller‑coaster on a perfectly paved road.

Revolutionizing the Performance Lux Scene

BMW isn’t just keeping up; it’s rewriting the rulebook. The i4’s dual personalities prove that you can have a relaxing, eco‑friendly ride without sacrificing the thrill of high performance. The future of automotive excellence has rolled in, and it’s electric.

3. BMW 8 Series Coupe and Grand Coupe (Q2 2022)

Why the BMW 8 Series Is Worth Every Kiss of Cash

Feel that chill when you spot the 8 Series? It’s not just a car; it’s a gold‑glossed dream vehicle that comes in at twice the price of the already sassy 4 Series. Is that totally justified? Oh, absolutely—let’s break it down.

The Competition: Who’s Really in the Hot Seat?

• The Porsche 911—the classic that makes other cars wish they could pull up a little faster.
• The Lexus LC—luxury with a touch of “look‑at-me-and‑lose-your-loops.”

BMW’s Secret Sauce: The 8 Series Coupe, M850i

To make sure the 8 doesn’t just sit on the curb and look pretty, BMW overloaded the M850i with a 4.4‑liter V8 engine that’s making noise louder than your neighbor’s karaoke night. That beast churns out a staggering 523 horsepower—guaranteed to rock your socks off.

And what’s the result? 0 to 100 km/h in just 4 seconds flat. Talk about catching a ride faster than a coffee order at your local cafe. That’s the kind of speed that turns a regular commute into a pulse‑thrilling adventure.

Bottom Line: Is It Worth It?

When you’re looking at bumpers, acceleration, and all the bragging rights that come with owning a top‑tier German powerhouse, you start to see that the price tag isn’t just a number—it’s an investment into a car that delivers performance, prestige, and pure driving joy. If you’re dish‑ready for the road, the 8 Series is your passport to a dream that’s worth the extra pennies.

Meet the New Baby of the 8 Series: the Alpina B8

A Grand Coupé That Means Big Money and Big Power

Picture this: a sleek, luxury coupe that feels like a tender SUV hugging the road with the grace of a giant plush mouse cake. That’s the Alpina B8, riding into the shiny Grand category like it owns the place.

Why “Grand” Isn’t Just a Name

In the car world, “Grand” is the VIP lounge—only the best of the best get invited. And lucky for us, the Alpina B8 knocks on that door with a twin‑turbo V8 that screams 612 horsepower. In other words, this beast can turn a zippy “one‑two‑three” into a gloriously rhythmic “four‑five‑six‑seven” and still have the momentum to roll away.

Stats for the Speed‑Obsessed

• Horsepower: 612 hp – the kind of number that lights up a city skyline.
• 0‑100 km/h (0‑62 mph): 3.4 seconds – a punch of adrenaline that’ll make your coffee table spy laugh.

So whether you’re a track fanatic or just love the thrill of a high‑octane chase, the Alpina B8 is the one you’ll want to brag about loudly—because it’s not just a car; it’s a conversation starter, a speed whisperer, and a one‑stop ticket to the Grand class.

4. BMW M8 Competition Coupe and Grand Coupe (Q2 2022)

The M8 Competition Coupe isn’t just about speed – it’s a bag of thunder packed into a sleek chassis.

When the engine roars, the seats are there to catch your wild ride.

The M8 Competition Coupe blends raw performance with elegant, passenger‑friendly luxury. Whether you’re eye‑on the leather or the lap‑feel of the dual‑turbo V8, you’ll get the perfect mix of adrenaline and relaxation. Every mile is an adventure and every seat is an invitation to enjoy the ride without a second‑guessing moment.

The M8 Competition Grand Coupe Edition: A Five‑Person Powerhouse

6. BMW X7 (Q3 2022)

BMW X7: The SUV That Thinks It’s a Convertible

When you spot the BMW X7 on the road, you’ll guess it’s all about that bold exterior—and you’re right. This full‑size powerhouse packs more swagger than most of its competitors.

Power to Pull It

• Under the hood: a 3.0‑liter inline‑6 that spits out 335 hp.
• Rolls from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds—quite the sprint for an SUV.
• Feel the rush! It’s like having a muscle car’s soul wrapped in a luxury car’s skin.

Space That Never Sleeps

• Total boot capacity: a roomy 320 litres—room for your groceries, your friend’s bike, or that massive coffee table you’re secretly craving.
• Not to mention an interior smart enough to correct your posture in the heat of a car‑crash dash.

Driving Like It’s A VIP

The X7’s 8‑speed gearbox feels smoother than a lullaby and is fine‑tuned to make every gear change feel like it was made for the road.

• Heating functionality across the cabin—cozy vibes all year round.
• Panoramic moonroof: because you deserve a sky view without the roof going up during a storm.

Safety: The Guardian Angels of the Highway

• Blind‑spot monitoring that will tell you when cars are playing hide‑and‑seek near you.
• Parking sensors that’re practically a personal parking assistant.
• Lane departure warning, so you won’t accidentally start a new art installation on the road.

All in, the BMW X7 flexes iron, space, tech, and a hint of humor—because a true SUV should not only carry you but also keep you laughing along the way.

7. BMW X1 (Q4 2022)

Meet the X1: The Compact SUV That Pack a Punch

Late in 2022, a new SUV was slated for release – the X1. Think of it as the X7’s lighter, more budget‑friendly cousin, still snoring out solid performance with its 2.0L turbo inline‑four.

Heart of the Machine

• 2.0L Turbo Inline‑4 engine
• 228 horsepower – give it a nickname like “Horsepower Hero.”
• 350 Nm of torque – enough to make city drives feel like a small pep rally.

Design Revamp for 2022

The X1 got a makeover: a bigger kidney grille (imagine a richer, more beefy front), rounded edges that feel less like a boxy billboard, and slimmer headlights that let it look sleek without shouting “I’m an SUV.” The new look is all about being modern and aesthetically pleasing, which means it fits into urban streets while still making a statement.

Why It’s Worth Your Attention

Even though it’s a modest version of the X7, the X1’s updated style and a punchy small engine combo keep it sweet for everyday life. It’s the kind of SUV you can afford, drive, and still feel like you’re riding a small monster under a polished hood.

8. BMW 7 Series (Q4 2022)

BMW 7 Series Arrives in Late 2022 with a Power‑Packed Trio

The Engine Lineup (and Why It Matters)

• 740i – A 3.0‑liter turbocharged inline‑six that nudges you up to 335 hp. Think of it as the “just enough” engine that still feels punchy.
• 750i xDrive – A 4.4‑liter twin‑turbo V8 delivering 523 hp with all‑wheel drive. It’s the name of the game for those who want a bit more muscle.
• M760i xDrive – A jaw‑dropping 6.6‑liter V12 that roars 600 hp. Turbocharged, twin‑turbo, and oozing performance – the kicker for the serious speed fan.

What the Car Looks Like on the Outside

The 7 Series keeps the classic BMW vibe but cranks up the swagger. Its exterior feels solid and muscular, like a rock‑star’s stage set, and inside it’s a plush, high‑end vibe that feels like stepping into a luxury hotel.

Room for Everyone

Rear‑seat comfort? No doubt. There’s enough space for a whole family, a group of friends, or even a chair and a database. So you can bring the whole crew without squeezing anybody in.

9. BMW I7 (Q4 2022)
