MINI is about to reinvent itself a bit for the 2024 model year. Its new crop of cars will finally be all new, after not having a properly new vehicle for what seems like ages. These new cars will be built on BMW’s updated front-wheel drive architecture, they’ll feature new designs, new interiors, and new […]

Modern car tuning is almost magic. The ability to just simply add a software tune to a modern turbocharged engine and get over 100 additional horsepower is absurd and yet entirely realistic. In this new video from Drag Times, you get to see a BMW M4 Competition xDrive, with just a simple tune, make 620

BMW has had air vent scents for years now. Mercedes first brought such technology to life in the S-Class many years ago, by adding a diffuser in the glovebox and allowing owners to fill it with different scents, which would then come out of the air vents. BMW then followed with the 7 Series. However,

When Jakub Berthoty was just a kid in Czechoslovakia in the early ’90s, seeing a BMW was like seeing a spaceship. Once the Iron Curtain fell, though, and more imported cars started to trickle in, Berthoty saw his first E32 7 Series and instantly fell in love. That passion continued to grow for thirty years

A convertible version of the Rolls-Royce Spectre is coming. It’s only a matter of time. It will probably go by a different name, just as the covnertible version of the Wraith was called the Dawn, but in essence in will be a Spectre convertible. And when it does inevitably debut, it will probably look a

It still blows my mind that the first-gen BMW X2 was successful. It seemed like an answer to a problem nobody had. It wasn’t big enough to be more practical than a sedan but it didn’t drive well enough to be worth getting over the BMW X1. It just seemed like it lived in no-man’s

I’ve long said that MINI is the perfect brand for electrification. It’s entire brand ethos just works so well with it. The tight, nippy, fun-loving nature fits the punchy, torquey power delivery of electric motors. While MINI proved that with the new electric Cooper SE, it’s interesting to see how that new car stacks up

There’s a lot to criticize about modern BMW performance cars, including their relative lack of steering feel and their designs. However, no one can knock BMW M’s engines, as they’re all immense. BMW’s S58 engine, the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six that makes 473 horsepower in its base spec, can be tuned to make absurd levels of

I’m a fan of BMW but I’m also a car enthusiast. There’s no fanboy-ism here. I like cool cars, interesting from any brand, from any country, so long as they’re cool and interesting. And often times that means enjoying cars from rival brands, which can get interesting when I so often interact with diehard BMW

Awhile back, Carwow’s Mat Watson teamed up with Alex Kersten and his pal Taylor to check out three old, cheap, and beat up luxury SUVs: an E53 BMW X5, a first-gen Porsche Cayenne, and an L322-gen Range Rover. All three were in pretty terrible shape so, naturally, Mat Watson decided to buy them. He bought
