Awww, poor Apple. I guess you can't win them all.

Starts at $41,425

BMW has officially unveiled the 2014 4-Series ahead of its scheduled debut at midnight.

2015 BMW 7-Series could weigh less than current 5-Series

Arriving late 2015

The next generation of the BMW 7-Seriesis set to go on a massive diet when it arrives in late 2015.

Based on a recent report, the new 7-Series will have a new structure using steel, aluminum and carbon fiber which will make the entry-level 740i model a lot lighter than today's 1,900 kg (4,188 lbs) model. Autocar reports that it could turn out to be even lighter than today's base 5-Series model which weighs 1,670 kg (3,681 lbs).

BMW X5 transformed into a pickup?

A BMW dealership in Australia transformed a first-gen X5 into a pickup (or Ute as it's locally known).

The conversion was made by Motorline BMW, a dealership based in Queensland, Australia. They took a pre-facelift E53 model equipped with a 3.0-literdiesel engine and put a Toyota-sourced rear window panel. After getting rid of the rear doors they installed chrome bars to make it look like the real deal.

BMW has officially unveiled the 2014 X5, following this afternoon's leak.

Looking instantly recognizable, the redesigned crossover has evolutionary styling which closely mimics the outgoing model. Despite the déjà vu design, the 2014 X5 has a more prominent grille, an aerodynamic front bumper and optional LED adaptive headlights. Other touches include rear "Aero Blades" and new "Air Curtains" that promise to reduce drag by routing air around the wheel arches.
