BMW M340

BMW is recalling more than 105,000 vehicles over an issue with the starter motor, which may fail and overheat.

For 2024, Porsche takes the top spot for premium brands as well as the overall crown, with Mini taking the honors among mass-market brands.

This year’s study is based on responses from 99,144 buyers and lessees of new model-year 2024 vehicles, and respondents were surveyed 90 days after acquiring their vehicles.

While the chassis has been retuned for what BMW says is greater comfort without sacrificing handling, the bigger changes to the 2025 3 Series are inside.

The BMW 3 Series sedan rolls into 2024 with no major changes and a new starting price up $800 over the outgoing 2023 model.

Improved interior tech and visual updates for the 2023 BMW 3 Series are now priced from $44,795 to start.

BMW’s iconic 3 Series sedan is in its seventh generation and enters the 2023 model year with some modest updates to its exterior design and interior technology.

BMW’s 2022 model year brings mostly minor updates in feature packaging, along with some new colors, but highlights include two new EVs.

A malfunctioning brake assist is the root cause of BMW’s latest recall for more than 50,000 vehicles, including the Supra it jointly developed with Toyota.

Seat belts are the focus of a recall affecting more than 21,000 BMW, Mini, Rolls-Royce and Toyota vehicles. Read more on the issue here.
