The BMW M5 Wagon Is Already Getting More Expensive
BMW prices are supposed to increase next month, and that'll include the M5 sedan and wagon. A new report says the automaker will increase the price by $2,400, with the sedan now starting at $121,900 before the destination fee and gas guzzler tax. The wagon will cost $123,900. The $2,400 increase would equate to a 2.0 percent increase over 2025, according to Cars Direct . Add in the destination charge and gas guzzler fee, $1,175 and $2,600, respectively, and the 2026 M5 sedan will cost $125,675. The 2026 M5 Touring will have a starting price of $127,675. Photo by: BMW Shockingly, the M5 isn't getting BMW's most significant price increase. X5 M and X6 M Competition prices are reportedly increasing by $2,500 . Other models, like the Z4 , are seeing their prices jump by $1,000, but we hope it doesn't stifle demand, especially for the M5 Touring. Why M5 Touring Sales Matter The 2025 M5 Touring is the first time BMW has offered the performance wagon in the United States, and the automaker is weighing bringing the M3 Touring to America based on M5 sales. So far, demand has been exceeding expectations. Photo by: BMW Earlier this year, BMW revealed that it had to increase M5 production to meet demand , with the production output split 50-50 between the two body styles—something BMW did not expect. It had planned for the sedan to account for two-thirds of all M5 production, but buyers are flocking to the touring, even in the US. Late last month, BMW M boss Frank van Meel revealed in an interview that there was "a higher demand in the US for the Touring than for the sedan." Hopefully, it's enough to convince BMW to bring the M3 Touring here, which the company first suggested last year could happen .

Will you notice this rumored big change coming to the rear panel of the M5 iPad Pro?
The 2024 M4-powered iPad Pro. | image credit-PhoneArena While many are thinking that it might be too late for Apple to release the M5-powered iPad Pro this year, the tech giant's next top-of-the-line tablet could still be released in 2025. A report out of Korea says that mass production of the tablet's OLED panels by Samsung and LG has started. The device could end up being unveiled in October or November and released in time for the 2025 holiday shopping season. Last year, Samsung supplied Apple with the OLED displays for the 11-inch M4 iPad Pro while fellow South Korean company LG produced the 13-inch OLED panel for the 2024 iPad Pro. This year, reports suggest that both LG and Samsung will each deliver 11-inch and 13-inch displays used on the iPad Pro (2025) models. Last year's iPad Pro (2024) tablets were the first from Apple to replace the LCD panels with OLED. OLED displays offer users a screen with better contrast, darker blacks, and wider viewing angles. Because OLED pixels generate their own light, no backlight is needed for OLED displays. Thus, such screens are thinner and are more flexible than LCD displays. Devices using an OLED panel can save battery life by going into Dark mode. That's because creating the color black on OLED is a matter of turning off a pixel and pixels that are turned off do not need to draw power from the battery. Apple is expected to convert the display on the iPad mini to OLED next year and do the same with the iPad Air in 2027. On the new M5 iPad Pro holding the tablet in portrait, as the M4 model is here, will turn the Apple logo on its side. | Image credit-PhoneArena The biggest change to the M5 iPad Pro tablets will be the use of the M5 processor. The latter will be manufactured by TSMC using its 3nm process node. Besides using the most advanced SoC in Apple's lineup, there is another huge change in store for the upcoming iPad Pro. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has said that the Apple logo on the back of the tablet will now be in landscape orientation as opposed to the previous portrait orientation. Those who prefer to hold their iPad Pro in landscape mode might feel better knowing that the iconic Apple logo on the back of their tablets will match perfectly with how they are holding their premium iPads.

M5 traffic: Motorway at a standstill after horror caravan crash with debris strewn across the road

"Traffic held now around 18:35." It follows "severe delays" on the M5 this afternoon Northbound between J23 A39 (Bridgwater North) and J22 (Burnham-On-Sea), according to AA. The congestion formed after another crash earlier today. This comes after we reported on a horror bus accident yesterday. narrowly avoiding cars before flying off the road near Eastleigh, Hampshire yesterday morning. 19 people were left injured following the disturbing ordeal, which was over in a matter of seconds. A youngster behind the camera says: "Oh my god, the bus has just had a major crash and now he's speeding off." Someone else yells in panic: "Get away from the windshield." "We're going to die, we're actually going to die, what's he doing?", says the concerned boy filming. "Oh my god, oh my god, we're actually going to die," he repeats, his voice growing more shaky. Terrified screams pierce through the air as the camera falls and the large vehicle loses control. The video cuts off as the bus ploughs into the River Itchen, on Bishopstoke Road, near Eastleigh. It comes as the driver earlier blamed faulty brakes and a "jammed accelerator". Three passengers were rushed to hospital while fourteen were treated for minor injuries. Pictures from the scene also showed the large blue bus sitting upright in the shallow river with broken railings left behind. Elsewhere, the moment a speeding driver leaves a woman for dead in a crushed car to pick up his scattered £20 notes was caught on camera. Ty Kelsall smashed into the victim, who is aged in her 50s, as she drove along a quiet street in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. 2

Gloucestershire housing targets 'putting councils under pressure'
House building in Gloucestershire is increasing but councils in the county are concerned the government's targets are too this year the government released proposed housing targets for each local council in England to meet as part of their pledge to build 1.5 million homes by the end of the councils such as the Cotswolds and Stroud have found it difficult to find places for new properties."The reality is the planning landscape has changed significantly," said Juliet Layton, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning at Cotswold District Council. Recently the Hunts Grove phase four on the outskirts of Gloucester was approved, adding 620 homes to more than 1,000 already Tewkesbury and Cheltenham more than 4,000 homes have been approved at Elms between Sharpness and Berkeley, outline planning permission is being sought for 2,750 plans also include a primary, secondary school and a railway station. The Labour MP for Stroud, Dr Simon Opher, said the planning process "simply takes too long in this country". "I think it's essential we build houses for young people and young families in this area, because there's a real lack of housing and that has all sorts of repercussions," he added. "Local people are having to move out of the area, whereas they want to work and stay in the area."Dr Opher has been speaking with government transport bosses around improvements to junction 14 of the M5, which has been cited as one of several issues holding up the approval of Stroud District Council's local plan. "The area that can be developed is limited because we've got the flood plain of the Severn on one side and the area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the other," he added. "This has taken so long to do this. Four or five years of waiting for housing developments, when local people are desperate for new houses to move in to."
