BMW’s Next Most Important Car Aims to Change the World Forever

BMW just revealed its second-most important vehicle of the decade, the all-new i3. As the second coming of BMW’s latest Neue Klasse generation, the i3 takes the title as the world’s first-ever all-electric 3 Series sedan. Similar to the iX3 before it, the i3 boasts BMW’s latest 800-volt electric vehicle architecture. That means up to a claimed 440 miles of driving range and 463 horsepower and 476 pound-feet of torque. The i3 also debuts BMW’s latest Symbiotic Drive assistance system, which the automaker says offers up to Level 2+ semi-automated system. As expected, the i3 also visually embodies the core design elements of the original Vision Neue Klasse Sedan, incorporating BMW’s latest rendition of its “four-eyed” headlight setup and wide dual-kidney grille front end. BMW didn’t say when it will officially launch or announce any pricing details, but such information will most likely surface in the coming months.

The Powerbeats Pro 2 continue to be one of the best workout earbuds for anybody with an iPhone. Released in February 2025, they feature Apple’s latest H2 chip and thus have many of the same features as the latest AirPods. They support active noise-cancellation and transparency modes. And, similar to the latest AirPods Pro, they have a built-in heart rate monitor so you can get advanced workout metrics that you’d typically need an Apple Watch for. Now, Beats has teamed up with Nike to release these special edition models featuring a new colorway and custom paint job for the case. The price remains the same at $250.

Balmuda’s take on an alarm clock is beautiful and innovative, just like all of the design-forward brand’s appliances. Milled from a single block of aluminum, The Clock has no hands and instead displays the time by illuminating the hours on an analog watch face. It also features a variety of relaxing sound and light effects, a gentle alarm that lets you ease into your day, and a timer that can be satisfyingly set by rotating the top knob and lighting up the minute track on the dial. Only available in Japan for now, The Clock retails for ¥59,400 (~$372).

Drawing inspiration from one of legendary distiller Booker Noe’s favorite cities, the first Booker’s Bourbon Batch of 2026 is sourced from five separate production dates and five different storage warehouses. With a high proof of 129.1 and age of 7 years, 2 months and 15 days, the bold blend boasts vanilla and spice aromas, a warm palate and long finish, best sipped neat or with a splash of water. It’s available now at liquor stores across the country.

California-based, sustainable apparel brand Outerknown recently relaunched its line of Sea Jeans for men and women, rebuilt and evolved to refine the fabric, fit and washes of the denim. The entire lineup, including the casually cool Beachcomber Relaxed Jean, is constructed with minimum 98 percent organic cotton denim milled in Italy at Candiani Mills. The unisex Beachcomber Relaxed Jean is designed to be worn low at the hip and is roomy through the entire leg, making it Outerknown’s most laid-back look. The jeans are available in two colorways, Vintage Blue and Indigo Vintage, in 30 or 32 lengths.

UK-based restomod expert Twisted Automotive has expanded its portfolio with its first take on the two-door Range Rover Classic. Like all of the outfit’s builds, the British classic gets painstakingly restored inside and out. As such, along with new hand-formed panels and a fresh suspension setup, it also brings fresh leather upholstery, an updated infotainment system and more. However, it’s under the hood where you’ll find one of the biggest changes, as Twisted has ditched the original mill in favor of a 6.2-liter Chevrolet LT1 V8 making 500 horsepower. Just 12 examples are set to be built in total, and each will start at £350,000.
