Er, it's not really like that, what really happened is this, the 2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe has been advertised as the cheapest M Car ever made. That's not exactly saying it's a bargain, but it's not like saying this is the cheapest Rolls Royce either so let's let it slide. The original statement on the matter came from...
We already know that BMW is working on some sort of new front wheel drive car, but a recent rumor has enthusiasts almost livid. Before all is said and done, there are two sides of the story, and I do mean it. No matter how big a BMW enthusiast I may sometimes be I completely understand the Bavarians' efforts. The...
Out in the wilds of Abu Dhabi but nevertheless, it's worth a second, third and how much time have you got glance. The BMW Vision EfficientDynamics seems to be quite surefooted about moving from a concept state to an actual production model. According to the BMW timeline, the Vision EfficientDynamics will be put by the Bavarians into production some time...
Of all the places the world has seen affected by the economic crisis, Germany's luxury car market is one of the leading downers. Happily, their luxury car production hasn't experienced the same fate. While their domestic market has fallen by more than a quarter in volume, exterior trade keeps their companies working. All of Germany's "Big Three", Mercedes, BMW and...
It's not the first time we hear about BMW's plans, ideas and hopes for their Megacity lineup. It probably won't be the last time we hear about it either. The latest on the Bavarian's inner city oriented vehicles comes from the Internet and it tells us about how busy BMW have been in the legal department. To be specific, it...
I guess the holiday season is really gentle on the Germans at BMW and their workload. With the winter break coming in like a hurricane the Bavarians are taking stuff slow. After slightly updating the 1 Series and the X5 for the U.S. they chose to slightly update the BMW X3. The so called SAV BMW X3 will be offered...
After spending about two years at the rivals from Mercedes, Karim Habib, the former BMW designer who managed to give the shape of the 7 Series F01 model will return to BMW. Of course, he designed many other models such as Concept CS but the 7 Series remains his best achievement. Almost a year ago, Chris Bangle, another famous designer...
Let's face it, when it comes to supercars, even today in the aftermath of a deep economical crisis there's no shortage of choice. This means that BMW's new supercar may have to claw its way through the market. Will it be able to cut the mustard? In a nutshell? Yes. BMW have announced their production version of the Vision EfficientDynamics...
Whenever I glance at the BMW X5 I always think, god that drives well. I never considered that it's an offroader or any such thing. Let's put it this way, mud will most likely stay away from the BMW X5's tires. This must be why the Bavarians aren't offering a raft off road accessories but rather some performance addons. The...
It's been so long since we've been teased about the BMW 1 Series M Coupe that you can't help but say... finally, it's here. Now that it's here, there's no more rumors to be woven around and the nitpicking can begin. The BMW 1 Series M Coupe is powered by the predicted 3.0 liter straight six helped along by twin-turbocharging....
When you're a company that sells its cars as ultimate driving machines you definitely can't live without a serious motorsport program. The Bavarians at BMW care substantially about their racing programs so it seems that recently they've been putting quite a lot of time into it. A while back, the Germans announced that BMW will be back in the DTM...
I am a BMW fan but I reckon that even so, I will almost never come to terms with the way the BMW X6 looks. It's so unnatural, it's like a Swedish bikini model that's taken up bodybuilding. If I were ever to like some sort of "evening gown" in which it'd look good it would almost certainly be this...
The German tuning company, AC Schnitzer has decided that if you go for a diesel powered estate version of the BMW 5 Series Touring you shouldn't be left wanting. I mean, you've already made some sacrifices in order to go for the estate version and for an engine which doesn't really move your soul. This doesn't mean that you should...
The newspapers in Munich speak of an interesting development within BMW's plant. The news isn't related to a new BMW, a new technology or anything similarly relevant to petrolheads. It's related somewhat more to the detective novel types. The Germans arrested a Munich worker which is suspected of theft. The thing is, it's not the minor stuff like a couple...
A series of fans of the BMW 1 Series have grouped themselves together at a place called 1addicts.com and recently they've discovered a few things that are nothing short of amazing. Apparently, there's a rumor going round, teamed with the above picture, which speaks of the BMW 1 Series M Coupe as having a special edition. That special edition is...
Wait, what? My sentiments exactly, but upon a second glance, this package does look good. All proper luxury cars, have had at one point or another something piano related in their optional extras and in most cases those were disappointing. Not so in the BMW 7 Series. The Bavarians teamed up with the famous Steinway & Sons piano manufacturers in...
If you're a regular person, you want a bit of style from your car, a lot of presence and a high driving position you can't get anything better than the BMW X5. If you're the sort of person who wants a BMW X5 that will outrun a Lotus Elise, you go for the completely mad BMW X5 M version. But...
A recent report from my favorite place in the world "the Internet" the Bavarians have cooked up quite a bit of a surprise. The BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept will go into production after all. Beside the tasty news of the BMW VED Concept being on its way to the dealership floor, the cheeky Germans also sent out some technical...
The Germans are at war with themselves it seems. After Smart launched the eScooter, Mini came around with their version of an electric scooter. This actually looked like a serious competition between Mercedes and BMW, the companies that own the two electric scooter makers. It turns out that this either isn't true or BMW is seriously interested in taking down...
Remember the recent issues BMW had in the US with the relatively often occurrence of fuel pump problems on their N54 powered models. The problems of the 3.0 liter N54 six cylinder engines and their fuel pumps has been known for quite a while but no recall was issued before. The Germans over at BMW didn't issue a safety recall...
