The Bavarians are pretty keen on their electric range, the i fellowship but good as they may be, they still suffer from the same real world problems. This is why BMW is currently considering adding some range extender devices to the i3 and whatever other pipeline products. We already know about the i8 and what BMW has in plan for...
The Bavarians know how to have their fun, and for some parts (such as the M3 Pickup) we go along for the ride but this isn't really the case. Word broke out from Munich that BMW built what they're calling an M6 CSL, and it never made approval for the production lines as there was no business case for it....
We knew it was just around the corner, but this is a bit of a sudden situation as these images come from a private event held in Munich. Since it was in Munich it would almost certainly be a BMW event and the Bavarians unveiled two things there, the first being the M3 Pickup we already know about and the...
The i3 may be an electric vehicle that's meant to be eco friendly and save the world but underneath it's still got fiery BMW sports car DNA. This shines through in a recent announcement we got regarding the BMW i3 and its drivetrain layout, one that has a special resonance with petrolheads. The announcement included confirmation that the i3 will...
We've seen it in spyshots, we've been told by the Bavarians that they are preparing an April Fools' Day prank but you can't help but be interested in a BMW M3 pickup can you now? Based on the BMW M3 we all know and love, the pickup does have quite a few points of appeal that you don't get with...
Somebody in China must be two things at the same time, one would be in the market for a special edition BMW M3 and the other would be not fast enough in getting his name down for one. This must be why the Bavarians are making another special edition of the BMW M3 which is only to be available in...
I am a fan of BMW, I'm not going to shy from that but even a supporter of the Bavarians such as me don't really approve of their GT models. By that I don't refer to actual Grand Tourers like the BMW 6 Series but to stuff like this, the BMW 3 Series GT we've just seen as a spyshot....
Just over a week ago, the BMW M3 pickup was spotted round the Nurburgring and it got me so excited I started digging up stuff about a BMW M5 pickup. Sadly though, my enthusiasm (and that of millions of Australians) has been cut short by BMW who clarified the situation of an eventual M3 pickup. The crushing news came BMW's...
Apart from being a great mixture between fun, pedigree and tradition, the BMW 1 Series M Coupe does have a serious side in its safety rating. I don't think that particular side will make much of a difference given its latest assignment where the smallest M Car out there gets a job as the MotoGP Safety Car. In order to...
You know what? I find ridiculous that despite the numerous negative responses BMW got for creating the X6M and making it that fast, some people want it to be that much more powerful. Among these people we find the German tuners at Hamann and they've come up with the 2011 BMW X6M's evil twin, the Tycoon EVO M. Why do...
The long awaited replacement of BMW's 6 Series is finally revealed by the Bavarians in all its glory, and bulk. If you ever wanted a 2011 BMW 5 Series for all of its technical greatness and badge appeal without needing four doors here it is. Naturally, the looks aren't as dignified as the glorious sedan is but the 2012 BMW...
In seeing how far away from fashion I am, I've never heard of Trussardi and yet they are one of Italy’s top design brands. These guys make great leather jackets, jeans, handbags and accessories and now a BMW 5 Series GT limited edition. The BMW 5 Series GT limited edition isn't really a new production orientation for Trussardi but it...
The Bavarians have been busy and we've clearly spotted some of their efforts out in the wild with spyshots of the BMW i3 and BMW i8 in testing. Situation is, BMW may have had a lot of work to put in but when it came to picking the crop it turned out to be even better. That's cause the BMW...
The German tuner Mansory has been keeping busy lately, coming up with several ugly designs, culminating with the worst kit available for the SLS AMG. As the Geneva Motor Show has already given out most of its secrets, us automotive enthusiasts were hoping for them to quietly go off and die but it hasn't happened. What has actually happened is...
The Bavarians may have barely announced their eco-friendly i brand coming into existence just a week ago but that hasn't stopped them from being ambitious with it. The smaller i3, and the first product from the range to come from the BMW eco brand is going to be a feeling a lot of pressure on its shoulders. By the year...
I don't really know what's going on this year but it seems the Geneva Motor Show is really welcoming tuning companies. The latest of them to actually give us the preview on what they'll be displaying next month comes from BMW Specialist tuner AC Schnitzer. As it happens, the German tuner has prepared a couple of production ready concept cars...
Since BMW's presence at the Geneva Motor Show may be a tad sedate, specialist tuner Alpina plans to somewhat change things. Let's face it, the 2011 F10 BMW 5 Series, is what I like to call a simply astonishing car, but it's just not enough for the guys who want tuning. The 2011 Alpina BMW B5 Bi-Turbo Touring has a...
BMW's leadership may have decided not to take part in the World Touring Car Championship any more but that hasn't put off private teams from running their products in this competition. One of the most interesting teams to run in the 2011 WTCC is going to run a BMW 320 tc and they aim high. The optimists in question are...
BMW themselves admit that the 5 Series is their bread and butter machine. That said though, the 3 Series isn't exactly far behind and with an update due to show up very soon in 2012 form Bavarian sales aren't going to go down soon. The spyshots we have here aren't of a "normal" 2012 BMW 3 Series, but of a...
The Bavarians aren't kidding around with turbocharging. Even though BWM refused to have anything to do with it for a very long time, they've recently gotten into quite a stride with it. It has gotten to the point where BMW has reported that all of their future inline four cylinder engines will benefit from this technical advantage. Now, while the...
