2014 BMW M235i video review
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...

2014 BMW M235i To Run One Lap Of America
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.

Hold Up, Chevy Will Offer Some Z/28 Parts For Regular Camaro Buyers
If you're spending good money to buy a Chevy Camaro Z/28, you probably wouldn't be keen on those with regular Camaros dressing up their cars to look, and perform, identically. It makes sense then that GM decided to restrict the sale of Z/28-spec parts--guaranteeing the genuine Z/28 some...

Just in time to fend off BMW’s new i3 in the still nascent electric car market is the 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive, which is priced at $41,450 before factoring in any subsidies. That compares with pricing for the i3, although the Mercedes misses out on the BMW’s advanced carbon fiber construction and the ability to add a gasoline range-extender.
