The 2019 BMW 8-Series Convertible was uncovered this week. The grand tourer will make its formal debut later this month at the 2018 Los Angeles auto show and will arrive next March as a 2019 model. At launch, the big topless BMW will only come in one trim: the twin-turbo V-8-powered M850i xDrive.
Hot Wheels turned 50 in 2018, and honored the milestone with the return of the original 16 die-cast cars. Sold as a set, the Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary kit will come in a large display box that looks like a showroom for the cars. The setup won't come cheap with a price of $499.99 plus shipping, and only 1,500 sets will be produced.
Jeep confirmed the long-awaited Wrangler pickup truck will be unveiled later this month at the 2018 Los Angeles auto show. Seen in spy shots, the truck will give fans a bed to haul gear while on off-road adventures with friends. Expect the Wrangler pickup truck to be on dealer lots by April 2019.
