BMW has announced that it will voluntarily recall 198,000 vehicles for a potential brake issue. In affected vehicles—including BMW 5-Series, 6-Series, and 7-Series models, as well as Rolls-Royce models, spanning from the 2002 through 2010 model years—a vacuum leak might cause a loss of...

BMW outlined the U.S. specs of its 2011 X3 crossover earlier this month, and at the 2010 Paris auto show, it displayed the new South Carolina-built SUV for the first time in public. The new creases and folds do good things for the X3's sheetmetal. The ute loses some of the slab-sided appearance of...

Easily one of the most dramatic vehicle unveilings at this week’s 2010 Paris Auto Show, the all-new 2010 BMW Concept 6-Series Coupe has made its official world debut and gives us a near-perfect preview of the design that will eventually feature on the upcoming 2012 BMW 6-Series Coupe. The...

BMW and Saab have announced today an agreement for the supply of BMW engines to be used by Saab for its future models. Under the agreement, which covers purchasing, supply and development of new engines, BMW will supply to Saab a four-cylinder 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine from 2012...

In late 2007 BMW first announced plans to establish a new research division called ‘Project i’ whose task would be to develop a number of solutions for a vehicle designed for congested city motoring. The goal of Project i was never to exclusively develop one type of vehicle or another...

Last year, we brought you our first drive of the 2010 BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo. The hatchback aimed directly at those BMW buyers who didn't want anything to do with an SUV or a crossover, but desperately needed more interior space and flexibility. In the interim, BMW's announced a more traditional...

BMW, unlike some manufacturers, doesn't go around appending performance badges willy-nilly. When a car wears an M badge, you can expect it to deliver on track or off. For those that don't want quite that much go-fast, BMW offers a range of M Sport packages as well, and new bits of kit for both the...

Earlier this summer, BMW gave us a first look at the 2011 X3 luxury crossover vehicle. Now that our first drive in the newest German ute is coming in a few weeks, BMW's released the U.S. specifications for the vehicle, in advance of its world premiere at the 2010 Paris Auto Show. The American...

Twelve days remain until the 2010 Paris Motor Show opens to the press, and BMW is hitting the ground running, releasing the preliminary details on its coming attractions. The BMW Concept 6-Series Coupe shown here is a design study for a premium two-plus-two that takes the 6 marque into the next...

Generally we'd be happy to take BMW's advice and skip the rather melodramatic Dont Blog About This site and concept, but a new video out today shows the car off in better form than ever. And with Paris just around the corner, it's probably worth taking a closer look. In the video we see a lot of...

Earlier this month BMW released a teaser video of a mysterious near-silent running 6-Series prototype and the smug remark, “don’t blog about this”. Of course, this only spurred on the media to hype up the prototype and like clockwork BMW has released even more videos and new...

BMW's 1-Series M car has made so many laps around the Internet you'd think it was running the world's biggest endurance race, but thanks to a post from an insider at the BMW Power of M 2010 event, we may have some new details on the upcoming smallest M car. Postings on Internet forums are typically...

Racing, from grassroots to the highest pro leagues, involves a lot more work than play. It's just that most of the work is never shown to the fans. BMW has turned the tables around, and is showing us what's going into the rebuild process of the wrecked No. 92 M3 GT that hit the wall in the Kink at...

Ever since the E92 BMW M3 was first revealed at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show, true BMW enthusiasts have been intrigued but still longing for the CSL to make its return. Standing for Coupe, Sport, Lightweight, those three letters name the purest driver and most track-focused cars BMW has to offer...

Slamming into the wall in the Kink at 160 mph or so isn't the way to win races at Road America, but BMW managed to overcome the dust-up of their No. 92 car and qualifying just 4th and 8th to put the No. 90 car, driven by Joey Hand and Dirk Mueller, on the top of the podium at this weekend's...

The 2012 BMW 1-Series will get a three-door hatchback also commonly referred to as a

The new 2012 BMW 6-Series Coupe and Convertible aren't due to arrive in showrooms until the end of this year at the earliest--more likely in early 2011--as the current model was only given its mid-cycle facelift a little over two years ago. Prototypes of the new car, however, are already testing in...

With the BMW's success at Lime Rock Park, the team goes into Mid-Ohio on a high.

Just days after Audi announced that it had posted a record $1.7 billion profit for the first half of 2010, BMW has gone one better and revealed that its own profit has risen more than sixfold, ending the second quarter of the year at $1.1 billion. The results are on the back of significantly...

The upcoming BMW hybrid sports car is shaping up to be both mean and green.
