In recent years, BMW’s catalog has quietly created a perfect storm for enthusiasts: modern performance, genuine daily usability, and even general durability and reliability are hallmarks of the brand.

It’s Christmas Eve here in the U.S., and I hope you’ve finalized holiday plans and got your tree looking as spiffy as possible if you choose to celebrate. Like many enthusiasts, in lieu of a White Christmas, I’d love to go for a drive tomorrow — although frankly here in the Pacific Northwest, that seems

Morgan is marking 25 years since it began fitting BMW engines to its cars — a relationship that started with the Aero 8 in 2000 and now sits at the center of the company’s four-wheeled lineup.

It’s that time of year when automakers look back at how busy they’ve been over the past 12 months. BMW, however, is doing things differently, dialing the time machine much further back. These intriguing images show prototypes of the 7 Series and 8 Series undergoing winter testing in a snowy wonderland. The photos were likely
