BMW has today released images and details for its three-door 1 Series. In amongst that material is info on the new M135i. We figured that was of more immediate note and so have prepared these pictures for you, starting with a handful of five-door pics. The M135i is the first petrol powered model from the [...]

Pistonspy has once again delivered the goods, snapping one of the first pics of the new F33 BMW 4 Series convertible. If you’re confused by the “4 Series” naming, remember that the coupé and convertible versions of the F30-based 3 Series will be wearing the number 4. It’s expected the 4 Series convertible will follow [...]

We like the new F30 3 Series. And we’re pretty sure we’ll like the F31 Touring version that goes with. To that end here’s a couple of stylish soccer mums thrashing their test chariots around the Nordschleife. The final reveal of the new 3 Series Touring should take place around the middle of the year. [...]

Many of our readers are very happy that BMW Motorsport brought the M3 back to its roots—DTM racing. So we figured, in addition to our picture gallery from Round 1 of the 2012 series at Hockenheim, you’ll enjoy this series of pics and a couple of videos show the BMW M3 DTM during pitstop practice. [...]

Chris Harris has just filed a video that must remind him, and certainly us, what a lucky sod he is sometimes. Never mind he has awoken his own Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 from its winter slumber to take part in this three-piece fantasy; the other two cars are just as fine and just as [...]

The friendly folk from D2FORGED have been in touch to share with us some wallpapers of a BMW 750Li rolling on some pretty damn nice 22″ FMS-09 wheels. The wheels are three-piece and feature brushed aluminium centres with polished chrome lips. There’s nine more pics after the break and all you need to do to [...]

Mercedes-Benz got off to a flying start at the opening race of the revamped DTM series in Hockenheim on the weekend, seeing their cars cross the line in first and second place. Gary Paffett, McLaren F1 team reserve driver, won the first race of the year ahead of teammate and fellow Brit Jamie Green. Mattias [...]

Back in 2010 rumours of a BMW X4 started to gain momentum. Then, in January this year BMW confirmed those rumours when they announced the X4 will be built at their Spartanburg plant in South Carolina. However, BMW aren’t rushing into things and we won’t see the X4 until 2014. So we have to make [...]

Of the many electronic marvels that car manufacturers bestow on their modern day creations, amplifying engine sounds through the audio system is, perhaps, not one of their proudest moments. The BMW M5 is one of the higher profile examples to feature “Active Sound Design”—as BMW calls it—and the general consensus seems to the world is [...]

Dr Friedrich Nitschke, president of BMW’s M division, has confirmed the production version of the Concept M135i will be offered with all-wheel drive.

The 2012 DTM season begins in a couple of weeks. Bringing us a bit closer to the action is this series of videos showing the BMW M3 DTM in action and behind the scenes.

New footage of the BMW F80 M3 sedan has emerged from the Nürburgring. When asked about the new M3 in a recent interview Dr Friedrich Nitschke, BMW M head honcho, promised, “We will surprise you with this new car.” Hmm, the surprise so far seems to be that it sounds a bit rubbish. Still, there’s [...]

Can you hear that humming sound? That’s the sound of the BMW i8 Concept Spyder driving around an empty car park. Perhaps not the best context to show what is really a rather attractive car, but that’s what BMW has thought best. Bring yourself closer to Munich’s latest i-creation by watching the four videos we [...]

BMW has today revealed photos and information for the i8 Concept Spyder. This, we’re fairly certain, is not an April Fool’s Day gag. The i8 Concept Spyder is based on the i8 hardtop (aka Vision Efficient Dynamics). Like its sibling the i8 Concept Spyder features an ‘eDrive’ hybrid drivetrain, combining a 164kW three-cylinder turbocharged petrol [...]

Today is April Fool’s day. This video, featuring BMW Group Australian Managing Director, Phil Horton, was uploaded to YouTube a few days ago. However it was brought to our attention today thanks to a tweet from the official @bmwau twitter account. In the clip Horton delivers a stinging attack on Australia’s Luxury Car Tax. In [...]
