BMW's X range generally gets good press despite its grass and gravel SUV nature and we've seen more of the same with the company's update of the X5 and X6. I started by saying "generally" because lately there's been a few slips on behalf of the Bavarians. First the X1's U.S. market debut got seriously delayed and now some bad...
There's always a sense that motoring journalists expect a new BMW M5 like five year old kids expect Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. It's a small part of why the M5 almost always gets rave reviews and it's a big part of why it's being criticized on some rare occasions. BMW may have built a sedan which can go like...
Bavaria's latest in a line of what many of unnecessary cars, the X1, has been delayed from a launch in the U.S. several times up until recently. This is because just last week the company announced that the BMW X1 would be delayed from seeing its stateside debut indefinitely and since then Americans had been looking at other prospects. In...
Since there's a lot of talking going on about hurricanes and stuff lately, German tuner G-Power thinks there's some marketing capital out there for one of their cars. That'll be the 2011 BMW X5 Typhoon body kit. The only difference is that this time, G-Power went for some changes that aren't purely cosmetic. Under that aggressive looking front end, there's...
The Germans at BMW are quite proud of their Bavarian origins, after all, it's even part of their name. Part of taking pride in your community is helping it out. That's the reasoning behind BMW's latest effort to help out the Police, or should we say "Polizei", forces. Help comes in the shape of a small fleet of F10 BMW...
BMW's tricks with the X range aren't all that much fun as they've been so far and in regards to the smallest one around they're not that good. For those of you who are Americans interested in this particular X1 I'm afraid you're going to have to wait quite a while before you'll be able to get one. It's not...
Shortly after BMW have been telling us about how they plan to make the X range special and with added exclusive editions, their X6 was spotted with a new set of headlights. Its apparently meant to be a new facelift so there's bound to be some new stuff inside apart from the exclusive package and such but we didn't take...
BMW may be hard at work on the futuristic stuff like the i3 EV and i8 EV supercar but the Bavarians aren't about to neglect their current lineup of cars. Their latest work volume was focused on improving the X5 and X6 a little in order to prep them for the 2012 nameplate and keep up with high expectations. As...
Safety is no joking matter, this is why the chaps who work for the NHTSA seem to be relentless at doing their job with it. The newest of announcements from the U.S. safety representatives turns their attention to the E65/E66 version of BMW's 7 Series. Bavaria's big and slightly fat luxury saloon is under investigation from the NHTSA after they...
At the same official shindig where the i3 EV was unveiled, BMW revealed the bigger brother, the i8. A joint article would have probably been fitting but I do have a special treatment for the latter so we'll go a different route. You see, while the i3 and the i8 come from the same family and even share some technology,...
It's been so long since we've first heard about the BMW i3 EV concept and we've had such a great number of occasions on it being tested and spied that it's almost boring. Really, I feel this way and it's why I'm not very impressed with the Bavarians finally doing the complete unveiling bit, the sharing of details and so...
BMW makes a great lineup of cars. Sometimes they mess up with half breeds but generally, their offerings are above average. One of the somewhat un-natural models is expected to be quite a hit on the biggest car market out there right now and in the nearby future, China. I'm talking about the BMW 3 Series long wheel base, a...
After a considerable period of absence and quite some time since they originally promised us this, BMW is going to return to the DTM series. With that in mind, we now have a preview of what their new racer will look like. Predictably, this Bavarian track monster is based on the E92 BMW M3 Coupe, it is powered by the...
It's been quite some time since we last heard from the German BMW specialist tuner called G-Power, happily though they haven't been dormant since then. They've been hard at work on a new tune-up for the E92 BMW M3 and just a few days ago they put it through its pace at Italy's famous Nardo test track. It was here...
BMW's launch of the 1 Series M Coupe is one of the best cars you can buy today but despite this, some still feel it could have been better. Particularly, most fans of the Bavarian brand think the 1 Series M Coupe was deliberately slowed down a bit so that it doesn't end up being faster than the M3. Happily...
Dr. Friedrich Nitschke, BMW M Division's boss recently gave AutoExpress a very interesting interview about the future of M cars and particularly the next generation BMW M3. Simply put, Bavaria's M division will end up making a lot more cars than we've been getting from them until now. More hot blooded BMW models sounds pretty interesting but wait till you...
BMW's F01 M5 may have gotten an official photo shoot and even an unofficial Nurburgring lap time to prove it's here and planing to stay but that doesn't mean the old one has to go. In fact, Edo Competition plans to show the world that it would be wrong to write off the E60 version of the M5, particularly in...
After the Bavarians at BMW gave their 3 Series some tender loving care with the latest special editions, they turned their attention to the bigger brother, the 6 Series. The added attention of the big GT Coupe and the higher standards set by its market placement means that BMW couldn't just throw in a set of colors and expect to...
BMW has just decided to sharpen up the options list for a new 3 Series. They didn't do this because their small saloon doesn't sell, they did it for just the opposite reason. The extra "options" come in the shape of two new special editions for the BMW 3 Series, these would be the Exclusive Edition and the M Sport....
After Mercedes invented the concept of a four door coupe it was amazing to see how VW and Audi got themselves a piece of the market while BMW stood idling by. It took several years, but come 2010, BMW unveiled the Gran Coupe Concept in Beijing. This was the first step the Bavarians took in the direction of the four...
