A report by CIRP reveals that Apple's base iPhone models are the best-selling class, accounting for 42% of sales in 2024, despite the Pro Max being the top-selling individual model. This is because Apple offers multiple base models at different price points, while only one Pro and Pro Max model is available at a time. The Pro line remains the most successful in terms of individual model sales, but collectively, more base iPhones are sold.
BMW has revealed the entry-level 520i base model of its new 5 Series sedan through its German configurator. The 520i is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine with 205 horsepower and 330 Newton-meters of torque, and can do 0 to 62 mph in 7.5 seconds. It is the first BMW to offer a fully vegan interior with Veganza upholstery. The base model retails from €57,550 in Germany, and is not available in the United States where the lineup starts with the 530i. The top-of-the-line i5 M60 costs €99,500, while the electric M Performance 5 Series Sedan can be maxed out at nearly €130,000.
