BMW made a big splash at the 2023 CES (Consumer Electronics Show), with its color-changing technology, advanced artificial technology, and wild head-up display. However, it was far from the only brand there that made headlines. Volkswagen was also on hand to show off its latest electric car, one that could become a very dangerous BMW […]

BMW’s have always performed well on dynos. Every time a new BMW launches, enthusiasts put their cars on dyno machines to test their real power figures and they’re always more than what BMW claims. However, that phenomenon isn’t unique to BMW. Almost all German manufacturers underrate their power figures. And since they all use such

At CES 2023, BMW dropped an incredibly interesting concept—the BMW i Vision DEE. For weeks, BMW had been teasing the mysterious DEE and now we know that it’s both hardware and software and that this car packs the pair of them. After finally finding out what (who?) DEE was, it was time to get up

I’ve been a harsh critic of recent BMW design. Cars like the BMW 4 Series, M3, M4, and iX have all been cars that I’ve regularly mocked. Not because I take pleasure in mocking BMW but because I feel those designs have deviated too far from what BMWs are supposed to be. So when I

Prior to the launch of the BMW i Vision DEE concept, there was a render of the next-generation electric 3 Series that featured the same front end design as the i Vision Circular concept from awhile back. Now that DEE is here, and we know it borrows some of that same Vision Circular styling, we

At CES 2023, BMW revealed its second generation of E-Ink, the color changing technology for a car’s exterior. The first-gen E-Ink tech was revealed at last year’s CES and, while impressive, was pretty rudimentary. This new second-gen is far more complex and capable. Now, it can change through 32 different colors, across 240 different exterior

When BMW first debuted its E Ink technology at last year’s CES (Consumer Electronics Show), it seemed like a fun, gimmicky tech exercise that wouldn’t actually make it to a real car. Even when BMW’s E Ink project leader said there was a more advanced version, with more colors and more customization, it still seemed

When BMW first started teasing “Dee,” fans were curious as to whether it was a car or some sort of artificial intelligence system, like Siri or Alexa. As it turns out, it’s both. Dee stands for Digital Emotional Experience and it’s BMW’s way of combining the physical and digital worlds inside of a car’s cabin.

A few months ago, Apple revealed the upcoming version of CarPlay, which is far more extensive than ever before. Not only does it have more functionality but it integrates with cars’ interfaces more than ever. However, BMW isn’t going to join in on the new CarPlay party. The latest Apple CarPlay sort of takes over

At CES 2023, BMW broke some big news regarding the future of its technology. The current iDrive 8 used in every new BMW is going to be short-lived, as it’s going to be replaced in two months, starting with the BMW X1. The BMW X1 will get an all-new iDrive 9, replacing the old iDrive
