    The BMW brand had a starring role in 2011's Mission Impossible 4 – Ghost Protocol, with two of its vehicles, a 6-Series Convertible and the i8-previewing Vision EfficientDynamics concept, featuring in the hit movie. Now it’s been revealed that at least one BMW vehicle will feature in the upcoming fifth installment of the Mission Impossible franchise due out next year.

    The 2015 BMW M4 carries on a long tradition of fun-to-drive German sports coupes, even if it wears a slightly different badge.

    BMW i8 Named Official Safety Car Of Formula E: Video

    If you're going to launch a low-emissions motor sport like Formula E, you'll want to extend its ethos into off-track aspects of the series too. There's little use preaching about clean electric racers if the safety car is a V-8-engined gas-guzzler, which is why the electric single-seater series has...

  • BMW i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition

    Regular buyers will have to pay at least $135,700 for the pleasure of owning BMW's latest sports car, the plug-in hybrid i8. But one bidder has paid significantly more than that for a special edition version that went under the hammer yesterday at the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Presented as a celebration of the BMW i8's arrival in the U.S, the one-off BMW i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition sold for $825,000 at the auction, unsurprisingly setting a record for the brand-new vehicle. The special edition model is painted in a shade of Frozen Gray Metallic with contrasting Dalbergia Brown...

    2016 BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe Spy Shots

    The BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe was only introduced for the 2013 model year, but the car it’s based on, the 6-Series coupe, is a bit older than that and is set to receive its mid-cycle update for the 2016 model year—and it looks like the changes will be applied to the four-door Gran Coupe...

  • 2016 BMW X4 M40i Spy Shots

    These are the first spy shots of prototypes for a new high-performance version of the recently revealed BMW X4. BMW isn’t expected to launch a dedicated M version of its small coupe-like crossover; instead, we’re more likely to see an M Performance version positioned just above the existing X4 xDrive35i range-topper. We know the prototypes are for a high-performance model because of their dual-exhaust system, with an exit pipe located at either side of their rear bumpers. The current X4 xDrive35i model also features two exhaust tips but these are grouped together on one side of...
