It only takes driving about three and a half feet to realize that the Rolls-Royce Phantom is unlike every other car in existence. I’ve driven plenty of Rollers before but never a Phantom. And after barely a yard’s worth of driving I said out loud “Oh, I get it.” The Phantom is a completely unique […]

BMW’s latest M2 design is interesting. On one hand, it doesn’t have a monster kidney grille, so that’s good. On the other hand, it’s a bit funkier looking than the standard 2 Series, which is a shame because the little 2er is a cool looking car. Still, there’s a lot to like about the new

The second-generation BMW X1 holds a special place in my heart. It was the first car I drove during a press trip as a car journalist. It’s a moment I’ll never forget. But it was also just a really good car, one that impressed the hell out of me on that sunny day in Mexico.

The BMW iX1 is a car that should be sold on both sides of the Atlantic. However, for inexplicable reasons, BMW has decided its entry-level electric car is to stay east, keeping it away from North American shores. Thanks a lot, BMW. Because of that, we have to live vicariously through our European friends and,

Another year, another cool car BMW won’t be selling in the U.S. However, this time it isn’t going to only hurt enthusiasts.

Ask any BMW fan what the best driving sports sedan of all time is and the answer will almost certainly be an E39 M5. The E39 M5 is easily one of the most revered performance sedans in history and, when it was new, it received no shortage of praise. Things haven’t changed much since then.

When the BMW M235i Gran Coupe first launched, I wondered who it was for. It was an okay car—it was quick enough, had a nice enough interior, and was the cheapest M Performance car in the lineup—but it never really excelled at anything. There were also better cars in the segment, such as the Mercedes-AMG

After watching Henry Catchpole’s fantastic comparison test between the BMW M4 CSL and the legendary E46 M3 CSL, I came to an interesting realization—the E46 is cheaper. Being such an incredible rare, special car, the M3 CSL was always pricey and has long been worth north of six figures in American dollar-bucks. However, after a

When BMW first announced it’d be making a standalone M car, something built by the M Division that wasn’t based on a pre-existing BMW product, fans were very excited. After all, the last time that happened, the world got the BMW M1. So fans naturally had visions of small sporty coupes, potentially a mid-engine Cayman-fighter,

I’m not sure if you’ve heard but it’s the 50th anniversary of BMW M this year. I think BMW may have mentioned it once or twice already but it’s hard to tell. Anyway, in those 50 years, BMW M has made a lot of cars, many of them were incredible. So Autocar decided to craft
