Whenever I glance at the BMW X5 I always think, god that drives well. I never considered that it's an offroader or any such thing. Let's put it this way, mud will most likely stay away from the BMW X5's tires. This must be why the Bavarians aren't offering a raft off road accessories but rather some performance addons. The...
It's been so long since we've been teased about the BMW 1 Series M Coupe that you can't help but say... finally, it's here. Now that it's here, there's no more rumors to be woven around and the nitpicking can begin. The BMW 1 Series M Coupe is powered by the predicted 3.0 liter straight six helped along by twin-turbocharging....
When you're a company that sells its cars as ultimate driving machines you definitely can't live without a serious motorsport program. The Bavarians at BMW care substantially about their racing programs so it seems that recently they've been putting quite a lot of time into it. A while back, the Germans announced that BMW will be back in the DTM...
I am a BMW fan but I reckon that even so, I will almost never come to terms with the way the BMW X6 looks. It's so unnatural, it's like a Swedish bikini model that's taken up bodybuilding. If I were ever to like some sort of "evening gown" in which it'd look good it would almost certainly be this...
The German tuning company, AC Schnitzer has decided that if you go for a diesel powered estate version of the BMW 5 Series Touring you shouldn't be left wanting. I mean, you've already made some sacrifices in order to go for the estate version and for an engine which doesn't really move your soul. This doesn't mean that you should...
The newspapers in Munich speak of an interesting development within BMW's plant. The news isn't related to a new BMW, a new technology or anything similarly relevant to petrolheads. It's related somewhat more to the detective novel types. The Germans arrested a Munich worker which is suspected of theft. The thing is, it's not the minor stuff like a couple...
A series of fans of the BMW 1 Series have grouped themselves together at a place called 1addicts.com and recently they've discovered a few things that are nothing short of amazing. Apparently, there's a rumor going round, teamed with the above picture, which speaks of the BMW 1 Series M Coupe as having a special edition. That special edition is...
Wait, what? My sentiments exactly, but upon a second glance, this package does look good. All proper luxury cars, have had at one point or another something piano related in their optional extras and in most cases those were disappointing. Not so in the BMW 7 Series. The Bavarians teamed up with the famous Steinway & Sons piano manufacturers in...
If you're a regular person, you want a bit of style from your car, a lot of presence and a high driving position you can't get anything better than the BMW X5. If you're the sort of person who wants a BMW X5 that will outrun a Lotus Elise, you go for the completely mad BMW X5 M version. But...
A recent report from my favorite place in the world "the Internet" the Bavarians have cooked up quite a bit of a surprise. The BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept will go into production after all. Beside the tasty news of the BMW VED Concept being on its way to the dealership floor, the cheeky Germans also sent out some technical...
The Germans are at war with themselves it seems. After Smart launched the eScooter, Mini came around with their version of an electric scooter. This actually looked like a serious competition between Mercedes and BMW, the companies that own the two electric scooter makers. It turns out that this either isn't true or BMW is seriously interested in taking down...
Remember the recent issues BMW had in the US with the relatively often occurrence of fuel pump problems on their N54 powered models. The problems of the 3.0 liter N54 six cylinder engines and their fuel pumps has been known for quite a while but no recall was issued before. The Germans over at BMW didn't issue a safety recall...
It seems that the recent announcement to come from the British Police regarding the expansion/updating of their car fleet has an interesting addition. Beside securing a deal with Hyundai the "rozzers" are also going to be getting some BMW cars to help chasing down baddies. The British division of BMW is chuffed about this decision and their Managing Director, a...
BMW's previous 3 liter, twin-turbocharged six cylinder engine, the N54 series has been racking up a few complaints and even a series of lawsuits due to an apparently faulty fuel pump. The fuel pump problem manifests itself intermittent stalling, backfiring and loss of power of the engine and the alarmingly high failure rate has lead to a class action lawsuit...
The Germans over at BMW have revealed their intentions to go into electric power quite some time ago. Not long after came the announcement mentioning a dedication towards the Megacity project. So far, we've got the interesting bits sorted, brimmed with anticipation so here comes BMW's boring stuff, the plan, the economy, the business of the whole thing. The Bavarians...
Not that long ago, the Germans over at BMW made a public announcement in which they said they are going to be killing off the sedan version of the BMW M3. In recent times however, we've gotten word of a rumor that could be listed as a follow up to that statement. Though unsure of where this originated from, people...
With the recent rumor going round of BMW and Saab working together on more than engines, inevitably the press went over to the companies and tried to get more information. Ergo, in a recent interview for Reuters, Mr. Victor Muller, CEO of the Swedish part of this alleged deal had a few interesting statements to make. Obviously, at first hand...
After turning to the Germans for help with an engine to power a possible revival of the Saab 92 it seems the Swedish at Saab could be returning the favor. Since Saab has a lot of experience with front wheel drive and BMW have confirmed their intention to produce such a model the two companies could take the collaboration to...
A few recent rumors coming through the grapevine all the way from Bavaria make for BMW trying to reach a decision on whether or not to expand the lineup of products they are rolling off the line in Spartanburg. A decision of this sort would probably have no effect on pricing or deliveries but it could help sales of a...
It seems that BMW are going crazy about their X range and after the X5, X3, X6 and recently the X1 they just announced the addition of the X4. This seems not to make much sense but the Bavarians are adamant about creating a new four wheel drive that slots in just between the X3 and X5 in order to...
