To many, the new 2010 BMW 5-Series GT is the answer to a question nobody asked. Part crossover, part wagon, and part sedan--and in the 550i, part sports car--the 5-Series GT attempts to be all things to all people but never really hits its mark. [Motor Authority] Alfa Romeo is working on a brand new flagship sedan to replace its former 166... Read More »

BMW has enabled HD Radio's built-in data... Read More »

At the Frankfurt auto show, German automaker BMW has confirmed that the next-generation BMW 3-Series will offer a four-cylinder engine. But it's still two and a half years away. The twin-turbocharged four-cylinder would likely be offered alongside its much-loved in-line six-cylinder engines, as well as a diesel, as BMW already offers in the 335d... Read More »

As we reported last week in a first drive of the new 2011 BMW 5-Series, BMW has returned to form with an all-new 5er that's not only a more focused driver's car but also one that will fit right in, design-wise, to traditional BMW loyalists while also winning new friends. Although the outgoing-generation 5-Series introduced in 2003, called the E60... Read More »

The world is full of contradictions, surprises and head-scratchers. Not the least of which is why I pay so much in taxes and get so little in return. That would qualify as a contradiction but certainly not as a surprise or mystery. However, this universal truth of “if it’s screwy and illogical, it’s probably true” seems to... Read More »

As I was walking to the gym this yesterday in truly vain attempt to trim the belly fat accumulated through excessive hot dog consumption and various sugary confectionery treats that would send most diabetics straight into a coma, I came across a very well-maintained, last generation Mazda6 five-door, all in black with wicked 17-inch wheels, and a...

For several years, the U.S. luxury market has been dominated by Lexus, but as we mentioned a couple of weeks ago, Toyota's high-end marque recently lost ground with American shoppers. Now BMW sits in the driver's seat, ahead of German rival Mercedes-Benz by a super-slim lead of just 29 sales. Lexus' management team attribute the company's sales... Read More »

BMW knows what’s riding on the launch of their 2012 M5: get it right, and the car continues a legacy of performance and comfort unmatched by any other automaker's performance sedans. Get it wrong, and the BMW faithful are likely to storm Munich with pitchforks and torches, demanding heads in retribution. No other car in BMW's lineup... Read More »

When it comes to the automobile, there are useful technologies like electronic stability control and anti-lock braking systems, that make driving safer for the vast majority of motorists.

Your average car key has a limited range of functions. Even when giving it an ostentatious name like Aston Martin's "Emotion Control Unit" and constructing it from glass, it's essentially there to allow you to enter your vehicle, and turn it on. BMW could be about to change that though. Using a technology known as Near Field Communication, BMW's... Read More »

With its new-generation 6-Series, BMW has taken the unusual route of showing off the Convertible model first, rather than the Coupe, presenting the svelte drop-top today at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. Although we pretty much knew what the new 2012 BMW 6-Series was going to look like thanks to the unveiling of last year’s Concept 6-Series... Read More »
