It was in the spring of 2010 that BMW first confirmed plans for a new front-wheel-drive car, and now that car has arrived in the form of the 2016 2-Series Active Tourer. However, the 2-Series AT is just the tip of the iceberg as BMW has a handful of additional front-wheel-drive models in the...

BMW’s new 2-Series in coupe form has been on the market for several months and has proven to be a bundle of fun, particularly in M235i guise. But there are plenty of other additions to the 2-Series family on the way. One of these has already been revealed in the form of the 2-Series Active...

BMW is out creating new niches yet again, with its latest prototype signaling a premium seven-seat compact MPV is on the horizon. The vehicle is essentially a seven-seat version of the 2016 BMW 2-Series Active Tourer, which features five seats and is the first BMW model to ride on the new UKL...

BMW's littlest coupe earns a "good" rating in the IIHS small overlap front crash test.

The BMW 1-Series is no more. Nope. It’s been replaced, by this: the new 2-Series. It’s longer, wider, and roomier, and a little more expensive—but with the turbo six, it’s as close to a classic M3 as you can get. Let’s start under the hood. You’ll find either a...

If you were choosing a car to run one lap of America, what would you select? If you're BMW of North America you've pretty much limited yourself to BMWs, but a 2014 M235i sports coupe doesn't sound like such a bad steed even so.

The first front-wheel-drive model to wear the BMW roundel is finally here, in the form of the new 2-Series Active Tourer, which debuted this week at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. BMW first confirmed it was working on a FWD model as far back as 2010 and in between we were treated with a couple of...

The classic BMW 2002 and its contemporary kin have become iconic cars for diehard Bimmer fans, so the automaker's latest advert should be a real treat. The 2014 BMW 2-Series may not be a direct descendant of the 2002, which was subsequently replaced by the E21-generation 3-Series and every model...

BMW's odds'n'evens naming scheme isn't as logical as it once was, but most gearheads are prepared to forgive the German marque provided it keeps churning out great drivers cars. That includes powerful, focused M performance models. And while the new BMW 2-Series doesn't yet have a dedicated BMW M...

BMW’s new front-wheel-drive model based on the handful of Active Tourer concepts revealed over the past year won’t be classified as a 1-Series, as was widely predicted, but will instead use the newly created 2-Series nameplate. We know this because an undisguised version of the upcoming...
