Deus Ex Machina has always been more than just a brand; it’s a global state of mind. Since its Australian genesis, it has effortlessly blended the roar of custom motorcycles with the chill of surf culture, a hit of rich coffee, and an appreciation for pure design. Deus didn't just sell bikes and apparel—it sold an effortlessly cool lifestyle, one defined by artistic freedom, craftsmanship, and the mantra of "doing something is more fun than just owning something." This iconic movement fundamentally reshaped motorcycle culture, proving that two wheels, a surfboard rack, and an appreciation for art could all coexist. Electrification: A Cultural Reckoning for Two Wheels However, even icons must evolve. The global shift toward electrification is reshaping how we move, and the world of motorcycles is no exception. This new era is moving away from the brute power of large combustion engines and towards practicality, accessibility, and urban personality. Bikes are becoming small...

The world of flagship luxury sedans moves fast, but the current-generation BMW 7 Series (G70) stands as a monument to modern opulence, creating an experience so comprehensive and bold that it is simply the definitive luxury purchase right now. As the calendar ticks toward the inevitable mid-cycle refresh (LCI), a compelling case emerges for securing the G70 in its pure, initial form—a statement of design, comfort, and technological audacity that remains untouched. A Design Statement That Refuses to Whisper: Commanding Presence on the Road The moment the current 7 Series comes into view, its intentional, almost defiant design sets it apart. The polarizing yet powerful aesthetic, dominated by the signature split-headlight design and the prominent, available illuminated 'Iconic Glow' kidney grille, is not merely styling—it is a confident declaration. For the driver who believes a flagship vehicle should not blend in, but rather command attention, the G70 delivers. This is a design...

In a major inflection point for the auto industry, BMW's pivotal new electric vehicle, the iX3 , is a confirmed instant hit. Just six weeks after its debut, initial orders for the first-ever "Neue Klasse" model have surpassed those for the redesigned gas-powered X3 in its home German market. This victory is far more than a sales triumph—it signals a fundamental shift in buyer preference and confirms that BMW's bold, new all-electric strategy is paying off.  The Demand Explosion and Production Scramble The sheer volume of early orders has been a shock to the system. The iX3 has logged over 3,000 orders in Germany alone since its launch at the IAA in Munich. For the iX3, an all-new electric model, to instantly outpace the latest generation of the established X3—a vehicle that traditionally represents the heart of the brand—is a powerful statement that the electric future is here, now. This overwhelming demand is already leading to production concerns: the company...

BMW has opened the doors to its revolutionary new facility in Debrecen, Hungary—the world's first AI-controlled, fossil-fuel-free car factory. This isn't just an upgrade; it's the physical realization of BMW's iFactory vision, setting a new, unachievable-for-competitors benchmark for the entire auto industry. Here’s why the Debrecen factory is the gold standard everyone else will be chasing: 1. Digital-First Production: The AI Advantage Virtual Before Reality: The entire plant and its production lines were designed and tested virtually using digital twins and advanced simulations before construction began, ensuring maximum efficiency from day one. AI-Driven Quality Control: The in-house AIQX system uses a network of cameras and sensors to monitor the entire production line, scanning for defects in real-time. This AI-powered quality assurance is so advanced that the vehicles themselves act as "connected devices," capable of identifying and flagging issues ...

The BMW 2002 is more than just a classic coupe; it's a pillar of the company's heritage. A true purist's machine, it helped forge the identity of the modern high-performance BMWs we cherish today, laying the foundation for legendary machines like the 2 Series and M3. It was the "Ultimate Driving Machine" before the slogan even existed. Now, BMW is paying proper homage to its roots. Meet the new M2 Turbo Design Edition , a special model that resurrects the iconic tricolor livery that first adorned the legendary 2002 Turbo from 1973 to 1975—and the execution is fantastic . A Hand-Painted Homage Finished exclusively in crisp Alpine White , the M2 Turbo Design Edition stands out with a striking, retro aesthetic. Exterior Graphics: It features meticulously hand-painted BMW Motorsport stripes on the hood and trunk lid, a testament to the original's brazen racing spirit. An offset tricolor stripe also runs the length of the standard carbon fiber roof . The Mirror...

Despite the growing trend toward SUVs and electric vehicles, BMW is reportedly extending the life cycle of its two-door coupes and convertibles. A new rumor circulating on enthusiast forums suggests the automaker plans to keep the current generation of the BMW 4 Series and the high-performance M4 in production well into the next decade.   Production Extension Confirmed by Internal Leaks According to information posted by the well-known insider ynguldyn on the Bimmer Post forum, the production of the G22 4 Series Coupe and G23 4 Series Convertible , along with the G82 M4 Coupe and G83 M4 Convertible , is slated to continue until at least June 2029.

In the United States, the 4 Series recently proved to be BMW’s best-selling passenger car, surpassing the 3 Series in sales during the first nine months of the year, underscoring str...

 BMW is reportedly planning to extend the production of its popular internal combustion engine (ICE) coupes and convertibles for several more years than initially expected. According to rumors circulating on BMW forums, the company may continue manufacturing the current generation 4 Series (G22/G23) and the high-performance M4 (G82/G83) until mid-2029.   An Extended Life Cycle for Gas-Powered Coupes If this reported plan proves accurate, the 4 Series Coupe and Convertible would remain in production for nearly nine years, and the M4 for over eight years—significantly longer than BMW’s typical 6–7 year model life cycle. This extension applies to the smaller performance models as well: the 2 Series Coupe (G42) and the M2 Coupe (G87) are also rumored to continue production until July 2029. This means enthusiasts will have a choice of gas-powered performance coupes for at least the next four years. While the high-performance M2 CS variant will exit production earlier, an all-wh...
