The 2015 BMW M3, known internally as the F80, isn't supposed to reach retail customers for several months yet. The very first introduction drives for the press aren't even complete yet. But one lucky (and we're guessing influential) buyer in Abu Dhabi has managed to secure his car early. It's an...

BMW’s new concept for the 2014 Beijing Auto Show isn’t the 7-Series-aping mega sedan that we were expecting, but it does pack enough technologies, premium materials and innovations to be worthy of a new BMW flagship. The concept is the BMW Vision Future Luxury, and as its name suggests...

The BMW X3 is, or at least has been, a hard vehicle to get excited about. It's comely enough, and quite comfortable and capable, to be sure; it's just not all that moving, especially for a BMW. But there are a few new aspects to the updated 2015 X3 that just might get your enthusiast juices...

About a month ago we heard the BMW was planning a new concept for the 2014 Beijing Auto Show that envisions a potential 9-Series flagship. Now the German automaker has confirmed that it will present a forward-looking concept at the Chinese show that demonstrates its perception of luxury. As a taste...

The U.S. is about to get its second BMW Alpina model in the form of the 6-Series-based 2015 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe, which made its world debut this week at the 2014 New York Auto Show. Alpina is a semi-official BMW tuner based in the German automaker’s home state of Bavaria and...

BMW is working on a plug-in hybrid version of its X5 SUV, with prototypes already testing on public roads (read a drive report at Green Car Reports), but the vehicle isn’t due to enter production until sometime in 2015. In the meantime, the German automaker is rolling out concept versions of...

The success of BMW’s original X6 coupe-like crossover has surprised many, including most other makes which are now in the rush to launch rival versions of their own. BMW, however, has beat them to the punch yet again by launching a second coupe-like crossover, the all-new 2015 X4, which has...

BMW will recall 2010-12 models equipped with six-cylinder engines over loose bolts.

Sure, the BMW M235i would be a wonderful machine to put in your driveway or garage. It's not cheap though, and perhaps the 228i might be more in line with your budget. That doesn't mean you can't gain access to a vehicle that wants to reward you when the going gets twisty. BMW has just announced an...

Since its debut at an auto show in Amsterdam back in 1984, the BMW M5 has gone on to become recognized as the pinnacle of executive sports sedans. And even after all these years, during which five generations have been launched, the M5 is still the benchmark used by rival firms when looking to...

On the Chinese calendar, 2014 marks the arrival of the year of the horse, and to celebrate BMW has built a limited edition 7-Series that it will present for the first time at next week’s Beijing Auto Show. Called the 7-Series Horse Edition, the latest special edition is based on the...

Despite being panned by critics for its limited cargo and rear passenger space, BMW’s pioneering coupe crossover, the X6, sells well enough worldwide to warrant a second generation. Adding to the justification for a new X6 are similar upcoming models from rivals Audi and Mercedes-Benz. Today...

While the 2015 BMW M3 sedan and M4 coupe are already familiar to enthusiasts around the world, the drop-top M4 Convertible has remained under wraps--mostly. At the 2014 New York Auto Show, it will make its world debut. Aside from its retractable hard top, the 2015 M4 Convertible differs very little...

While Mercedes-Benz offers a handful of models positioned above its signature S-Class sedan, BMW doesn’t have a response for any of these, unless you count the unconventional, eco-focused i8. That means if you want the biggest and baddest BMW you’re going to have to opt for a 7-Series...

BMW’s new M4 has made its debut in coupe form, and soon it will spawn a convertible. Prototypes for the M4 Convertible have been spotted wearing the least camouflage gear we’ve seen yet, which means an auto show debut can’t be far. Like the M4 coupe (and the M3 sedan), the M4...

The BMW lineup was grown exponentially in the last few years, with new models popping up to fill in the numerical gaps in the lineup--or old models taking on new names. Soon, an all-new model will join the range, to be BMW's largest SUV yet: the X7. Confirmed as part of an expansion of BMW's...

BMW makes a great range of cars these days, but for a small band of BMW enthusiasts nothing tops the marque's glory days of the 1980s. Back then, they'll tell you, BMWs were better-made, more fun to drive and styled before flame surfacing was just a glint in Bangle's eye. Of those cars, one in...

BMW seems to be in love with the idea of adding fake sound generators to their vehicles these days. That's a shame since the engines can sound quite exciting on their own, with no help from false sources. Still, a car that will require some fake sound generation is the BMW i8, since it is capable...

In late 2011, BMW and Toyota signed a memorandum of understanding for collaboration on a number of projects, one of which was joint development of a sports car platform that would underpin a model for each automaker. While Toyota has made little secret of its plans for the new platform, having...

BMW will present an assortment of performance vehicles at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed this June, including a special anniversary model. Unfortunately, the automaker hasn’t mentioned which anniversary it will be celebrating or the model that will form the basis for the latest special...
