It's been almost a month since we've heard anything about the BMW X2, but now the bimmerheads at Bimmerpost have what they're calling confirmation from a BMW "insider" that the coupe-y crossover-y small-y thing will be coming soon. In a spate of model proliferation the likes of which the world has...

Most leading concours-type events are glamorous, but there's something about Concorso d‘Eleganza Villa d’Este--perhaps Italy's stunning Lake Como backdrop, or maybe it's the occasional appearance of a major automaker touting an edgy, sleek concept vehicle. Hosting the event for the...

We've known since the debut of the 2014 BMW M5 that it would offer an upgrade from the already-monstrous 560 horsepower to 575 horsepower thanks to a Competition Package. Now, BMW is showing off what the new hotter M5 variant can do. MUST WATCH: World's Longest Car Jump Attempt Ends In Fierce...

BMW has finally released the first video of its new M4 being driven in anger. Behind the wheel is racing driver Andy Priaulx, a European and World Touring Car champion, and he does a great job of putting the M4 through its paces at Brands Hatch in the U.K. There hasn’t been as much excitement...

Saying that there are plenty of tough corners on the Nürburgring is like saying Nutella tastes like angels fornicating on your tongue. Both of those are understatements. A BMW driver recently got a first hand look at what happens on one of those tough corners when he came in a bit too hot and...

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...

It's finally here: BMW's four-door-coupe version of a coupe derived from a sedan. If that is a bit confusing, you're thinking too hard. Just go with it. BMW's answer to a question no one knew to ask, the 2014 4-Series Gran Coupe puts a sleeker, trimmer look on the four-door F30--or adds a couple...

BMW’s new M4 coupe has spawned a racing version destined to compete in the popular German touring car series DTM. All BMW teams currently competing in DTM will switch to the new bodystyle for the 2014 season, with the current M3 Coupe-based car being retired. Unlike the road-going M4, the new...

Future owners of BMW's i8 plug-in hybrid sports car will be a discerning bunch. Rather than opting for the obvious Porsche 911, they'll have bought into a progressive, innovative vehicle which plays as much on economical gains as it does outright performance. It'd be a shame, then, to sling any old...

If you think your current car is clever with adaptive headlights, rain-sensing wipers and the ability to pick a new navigation route based on traffic ahead, you haven't seen anything yet.

We've been eager to get behind the wheel of the new M3 and M4 since seeing them in the flesh at the latest round of auto shows, and now it looks like we know how much that will cost you: about $62,000, minimum. That's the starting price of the 2015 BMW M3 sedan in the U.S., according to documents...

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 cars already have a distinctive look in your rear-view mirror with their angel-eye headlights and that view will soon start to look even more distinct. That’s because the automaker is now offering new laser headlights on its cars, starting with the 2015 i8 sports car which has...

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...

The future is a tricky place. That's something Arthur C. Clarke knew better than most, even half a century ago.

The next generation of BMW's X5 M and X6 M performance SUVs are currently in the works and should make their debut by the end of the year, meaning we could see them arrive as 2015 models. While we’ve already seen prototypes for the new X5 M, this is the first time that we are seeing a...
