The 2012 BMW M5 barely got itself revealed and yet we already have a very interesting bit of news about what sort of performance it can bring. I'm not talking about the sort of 0 to 62 mph times you find on a piece of paper or the top speed you can push yourself to. This is the benchmark of...
BMW has been toying with carbon fiber as a mass production material option for some time now and this is where we get to see some actual results.

Despite being deeply flawed by a few reasons, when it came out, BMW's Z range, then represented by the Z3, was a Bavarian entry to the small relatively lightweight market of roadsters.

BMW must still have a fresh memory of how fast they sold out their U.S. only M3 Frozen Grey limited edition because they've just announced the creation of one more. It seems that in their enthusiasm to launch this new special limited edition in the U.S. they kind of forgot what the plot was all about, the actual BMW M3...
Part of the beauty of being online is the fact that news get to you so fast you're already bored of the information by the time it hits the print or other sorts of media. One such clear example would be seen in the sudden reveal, or leakage of the 2012 BMW 1 Series which was supposed to be first...

It seems like some rumors have started circulating around about how BMW may be working on a true successor to their...
For some time now, BMW have pretty much had it their own way seeing as how every new model they launched was an almost guaranteed success. After this sort of lucky streak, one would be forgiven for saying BMW let it go to their heads when they took a substantial gamble and came up with the 5 Series Gran Turismo...
While some people feel a bit disillusioned that today didn't bring any rapture moment, many tend to live on and keep up with their normal plans.

It will be quite a while before BMW get round to making the F10 M5 and even more than that before we get to see an estate version of it. This is exactly why Hamann made a special styling package to improve the look of your lesser BMW 5 Series estate. Perhaps some performance improvements would have been nice but...

After previously ending a press conference at the New York Auto Show that focused on the BMW ActiveE on a negative tone, Jim O'Donnel came forward with a public apology on the matter. Having originally...
The Germans must still be smarting a little bit over whatever happened back in the Second World War, especially since the Americans sort of intervened on the whole situation. Why would I say that? Because the 2011 BMW X1, a very attractive model from Bavaria seems to be reluctant towards appearing on the U.S. market. Not only is that happening,...
