    Filed under: Convertible, Coupe, Performance, BMW Let's get one thing straight: We'll never complain about a new BMW 1 Series performance model, and on paper, this new-for-2013 135is sure seems like a total hoot. But you have to understand, we're still mourning the loss of the 1 Series M Coupe, a one-year model that we absolutely fell in love with when it debuted last year. To quote BMW, the 135is is the "top performance model 1 Series for 2013," and awesome as it may be, it just makes the 1M's death seem all the more permanent. Le sigh. Still, there's plenty to be excited about with this new…

    BMW Team RLL - Laguna Seca ALMS Preview Woodcliff Lake, N.J. – May 8, 2012… Despite sweeping the American Le Mans Series GT class championships in 2011 and the Manufacturer and Team titles in 2010, one important victory has thus far eluded BMW Team RLL. In both seasons Joey Hand and Dirk Müller have finished in the runner-up spot, but never on the top step of the Laguna Seca Raceway podium. BMW Team RLL is hoping to change that for 2012.

    THE NEW X3 xDRIVE28i: FASTER 0 TO 60. SLOWER FULL TO EMPTY. It sounded like an impossibly tall order: how could BMW improve upon the latest-generation X3? But the engineering wizards in Munich thrive on challenges and now they proudly present the 2013 X3 xDrive28i. Building on the X3’s already dynamic performance, thisnew model is even more desirable. Now equipped with BMW’s award-winning four-cylinder engine – a 240-hp, 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo – and an 8-speed automatic transmission, its 260 lb-ft of torque launches the X3 from 0-60 in just 6.6 seconds.1 Fuel consumption,…

The all new 3er Touring runs head-to-head with the Audi A4 Avant and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate. While the 3er is a brand-new offering, the Audi A4 Avant received a facelift this year.

    The FW26 BMW Williams F1 car for the 2004 Season was the last time Williams F1 team scored a Grand Prix win. The win was brought home by Juan Pablo Montoya at the wheel at the Brazilian GP at Interlagos.

The almost entirely carbon fiber body of the FW26 was designed at the aerodynamic department of Williams, led by Antonia Terzi after she jumped ship from Ferrari two years earlier.

Built for a wealthy Russian businessman, the machine received a complete aesthetic redesign with plenty of components hewn from carbon fiber. What isn't stitched from composite is coated in chrome, and the company's engineers set about shortening the bike by almost 10 inches. Vilner also ditched the dual saddle for a single seat variant and remade the headlight array. Red LEDs have replaced the standard bulbs, and a set of…

Starting from the beginning, the Bimmer's styling has inclined some people to grab their hatchets. Yes, there's a whole lot of intensity and a slumgullion of deeply incised polygons mixed together in that little upright face, but we have no doubt there'll be a whole lot more people grabbing their wallets when they see it. Along with the 320-horsepower M135i, fresh engines and features are among the new…

  • BMW launches 2013 135is coupe and convertible

    scooter
    15 May 2012 | 1:00 pm
    Filed under: Convertible, Coupe, Performance, BMW Let's get one thing straight: We'll never complain about a new BMW 1 Series performance model, and on paper, this new-for-2013 135is sure seems like a total hoot. But you have to understand, we're still mourning the loss of the 1 Series M Coupe, a one-year model that we absolutely fell in love with when it debuted last year. To quote BMW, the 135is is the "top performance model 1 Series for 2013," and awesome as it may be, it just makes the 1M's death seem all the more permanent. Le sigh. Still, there's plenty to be excited about…

    15 May 2012 | 1:00 pm
    Filed under: Aftermarket, Performance, Europe, BMW, Motorcycle, Russia, Design/Style Vilner has taken the time to give the BMW F800R a once over to create the Predator. Built for a wealthy Russian businessman, the machine received a complete aesthetic redesign with plenty of components hewn from carbon fiber. What isn't stitched from composite is coated in chrome, and the company's engineers set about shortening the bike by almost 10 inches. Vilner also ditched the dual saddle for a single seat variant and remade the headlight array. Red LEDs have replaced the standard bulbs, and a set of…

  • 320-horsepower BMW M135i headlines new three-door 1 Series range

    scooter
    14 May 2012 | 12:42 pm
    Filed under: Performance, Hatchback, BMW, Luxury We can now take an official, in-depth look at the new BMW M135i and the accompanying three-door 1 Series range - and there's much to see. Starting from the beginning, the Bimmer's styling has inclined some people to grab their hatchets. Yes, there's a whole lot of intensity and a slumgullion of deeply incised polygons mixed together in that little upright face, but we have no doubt there'll be a whole lot more people grabbing their wallets when they see it. Along with the 320-horsepower M135i, fresh engines and features are among the new…
