BMW used September 29 to put its eighth-generation 3 Series in public view, gas and electric versions arriving on the same day with nearly the same face. This is the G50, the first 3 Series shaped by the Neue Klasse look, and the first time the name i3 has been hung on a fully electric version of the brand’s main sedan. Orders for the electric cars opened early, and the automaker says demand has already been strong enough to shape the production ramp.

Irena Kandaurov’s latest concept arrives as a set of renderings that refuse the usual yacht shopping list. Guests scanning the hull for a helipad, a beach club, or a glass wheelhouse will come up empty. What sits in their place is a low, continuous shell with long flowing lines, two open decks, and a pool on each of them.
On a Tuesday, OpenAI revealed a new model for its paying ChatGPT users. ChatGPT 6.1 Sol appears to be tracking rather well in several areas, such as coding jobs, dense document reading, as well as long stretches of computer work, and all at a token cost that is around one-fifth of what Astra, the other model, charges. The release occurred during the DevDay event in San Francisco, only one day after OpenAI revealed that they had been holding back a 6.1 version of Astra because to safety concerns, including the danger that it would do things without your permission.
Apple Watch Ultra 3 arrived last year as the big titanium sports watch in the lineup, and a year later stores are clearing remaining stock around $699.97, roughly $100 under the original $799 starting price. That gap is the main reason the watch still makes sense in late 2026. Newer Ultra models exist, yet this one keeps the same 49mm case, the same flat sapphire face, and most of the tools that made the line useful for long days outside.
Alfa Romeo’s Bottegafuoriserie division finished a single 33 Stradale for a collector who wanted the car finished in bare carbon and little else. He named it Perla Nera, Italian for black pearl, and stayed involved through the build. Cristiano Fiorio, who runs the division for both Alfa Romeo and Maserati, said every detail was worked out with the owner. The car sits on chassis 03 of the 33-car run and will stay at the Museo Alfa Romeo in Arese until October 18 before it leaves for delivery.
