BMW has released a second teaser video of a new X6 M variant believed to be the first diesel-powered M vehicle.

Throwing wicked powerslides in a 560-horsepower twin-turbo V-8 super sedan is child's play. Doing it on the beach, in the surf, is not. But the 2012 BMW M5 takes it in stride. Manhandled by precision driver Wolfgang Weber, the M5 gracefully slides, pirouettes, and donuts its way across the sand and...

From the makers of the world’s fastest BMW M5, the 225-mph capable Hurricane RR, comes a new high-powered sedan, this time based on the latest F10-series 2012 BMW M5. Just how fast this bad boy will go is yet to be determined as the speed freaks at German tuning firm G-Power have only just...

It's hard to complain about driving anything on the Circuit de Catalunya, simply because you're on the Circuit de Catalunya. Some cars, however, will shine in such circumstances, while others will reveal their weaknesses. The 2012 BMW 3-Series shines. Well, it shines once you turn off all the...

BMW is showing a new variant of the X6 M in a newly-released video. Could this be the rumored X6 M550d?

Tired of waiting for BMW’s own M6 to arrive? Then perhaps you should give the guys at Alpina a call. The German tuning firm--and a BMW specialist--has unveiled the follow up to the B6 Biturbo Convertible that we saw at the recent 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, the all-new B6 Biturbo Coupe. Based...

BMW and Toyota are in dialogue over sharing green technologies for the European market.

Top down, cruising through the hills and along the coast of Baja or in the coupe, dashing down Highway 1, the 2012 BMW 6-Series is an experience not quite like any other in the segment: fast, comfortable, stylish, and fun, yet unconcerned with the outer limits of extreme sportiness. In other words...

After being "confirmed" earlier this year, rumors of BMW's 5-Series diesel with M Division tuning--but not M5 badges--are sprouting fresh roots. This time around, the talk comes with a name: M550dX. Astute observers of BMW's nomenclature will note that that's not how cars are named here in the U.S...

Outwardly there aren't too many similarities between German sports and luxury car maker BMW and the more budget-orientated Korean maker Hyundai. In fact, until Hyundai launched cars like the Genesis and Equus they didn't even compete in the same market segment. Yet a new deal between the two...
