BMW X7

BMW is recalling more than 145,100 vehicles for a starter motor that may overheat and cause a fire.

After repeatedly topping the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s list of most stolen cars in recent years, the Dodge Charger has been replaced in the top 20 of this year’s study by another muscle car.

There are lots of choices among the cheaper-to-buy-and-drive mid-size SUVs that, when properly configured, can safely tow at least 5,000 pounds.

Shopping for a three-row SUV means balancing priorities of seat quantity versus comfort. If the number of seats trump all, many three-row SUVs offer a second-row bench, but other models give up the second-row middle seat for captain’s chairs.

As is its recent spring custom, BMW has announced a smattering of minor updates across its lineup, including improved range for its all-electric i5 sedan.

Revised just two model years ago, the three-row BMW X7 SUV is mostly unchanged for the 2025 model year.

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

These cars offer panoramic moonroofs or sunroofs either as standard or optional equipment for 2024.

The integrated brake system may malfunction, resulting in a loss of power brake assist or causing the antilock brake and Dynamic Stability Control systems to malfunction.

For the 2024 model, a few late-arriving tech features put the finishing touches on the facelifted X7.
