The all-new BMW 3 Series leads this week’s podcast —with two powertrains and a big question: gas or electric? The i3 50 xDrive makes 463 horsepower, with BMW estimating a preliminary range of 446–468 miles. The gas-powered M350 xDrive makes 437 horsepower and reaches 60 mph in a BMW-claimed 3.9 seconds. We dig into the specs, technology, pricing, and BMW’s new Drift Moment feature.

Diesel averaged $6.38 a gallon for the week of September 28 as the White House considered a proposed 90-day export restriction. We also look at new fuel economy rules, vehicle classifications, Tesla Model Y delivery waits, and Kia’s 2027 K4, which starts at $22,390 before destination.

Plus: the all-new Volkswagen ID. Tiguan and 2027 Atlas, Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, Honda’s hybrid plans, the 2027 Chevy Bolt production outlook, a California Highway Patrol Camaro, Aston Martin DBX GT, Chinese vehicles and Waymo’s robotaxi fleet, Ford’s two-tone F-150, Subaru anniversary editions, two-door vehicle sales, and a manual-style shifter conversion for dual-clutch cars.
