The first dedicated M model since the M1 is not another mid-engined sports car to serve as a true successor in 2022 when BMW’s motorsport division is celebrating 50 years of existence. If you’ve been wondering why the peeps from Munich decided to green light a large SUV instead of a nimble lightweight coupe, we…

It used to be simple to identify BMW M cars as all we had to do was count the number of exhaust tips. However, that’s about to change as M Performance models are going to receive quad tips as well from 2023. Leading the way will be the first-ever X1 M35i while the M135i LCI…

Buying cheap luxury cars is often quite the gamble but buying cheap, old luxury SUVs is even more of a gamble. Why are SUVs riskier? Because there’s more stuff to go wrong. You have additional differentials, axles, sometimes transfer cases, air suspension, and often larger V8 engines. Among these three older luxury SUVs, which is…

Tweet Tweet ]]> When I first learned that the new M cars would feature a feature called “Smokey Burnout,” I assumed that BMW was pulling a similar joke to when it unveiled the pick-up E92 M3. Later, it became clear that they were being serious. So what is this thing exactly? Well, it’s an optional…

If you’re finding the new M2 G87 a bit too mundane in terms of appearance, BMW has already developed a wide array of M Performance Parts. These lend the sports coupe a far more aggressive appearance from just about every angle you look. The biggest changes are actually at the back where the quad exhaust…

Even before its unveil, there was very little doubt that the new BMW M2 is the last of its kind: gasoline-powered, rear-wheel drive and manual. We’ve said it before: with a 7 year cycle, it makes little sense for BMW to invest into a similar M2 product when 2030 comes. Instead, a first electric M2…

As with the previous six generations, the new 7 Series has a vast engine lineup. In fact, BMW has gone the extra mile with the G70 as there are many gasoline and diesel powertrains joined by plug-in hybrids (including an M760e) and the purely electric i7. But what if you want the most affordable version?…

Let me get this out of the way first—BMW is not going to make a convertible M2. There are no plans to even make a convertible 2 Series at this point, as small convertibles just don’t sell well anymore. So there’s definitely no M2 Convertible on the way. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t ponder…
