Back in 2018, at the New York Auto Show, I had the chance to drive a classic Mini Cooper S that had been converted to an EV. Its small gasoline four-cylinder was replaced with an electric motor and a small battery pack was stuffed into the back seat. Everything else was kept stock, though. Its […]

It’s genuinely difficult to spot the differences between the newly LCI facelifted BMW 8 Series and the pre-LCI car. BMW rightfully wanted to keep its investment into updating the 8 Series down, as it just doesn’t sell well enough to likely justify a big-money refresh. Naturally then, the 8 Series’ LCI facelift was subtle to

The newly facelifted BMW M8 Competition Convertible is going to have to take on one very specific car more than any other — the Mercedes-AMG SL-Class. Both cars were launched within months of each other, both cars will start at around the same $135,000 price point, and both cars are bonkers quick convertible GT cars

This new BMW 2 Series is an exciting new car for enthusiasts. I’ve seen some debate about its styling; some love it and some don’t; but the way it drives seems to impress unanimously. The top-of-the-line (until the M2 comes out) BMW M240i is the one most enthusiasts want to learn about, due to its

For around $55,000, you have your choice of two different four-door coupe BMWs — the BMW M440i Gran Coupe ($58,200) and the BMW i4 40 ($55,400). They’re very similar in a few ways and completely different in others but customers with around $55,000 to spend on a four-door BMW will have the choice between the

As far as most of us can remember, BMW has been known as the “Ultimate Driving Machine”. Thank Bob Lutz for inventing the term, as he helped BMW become popular in the U.S. market. At that time, BMW was just a quirky builder of sporty sedans and coupes. In fact, Lutz created that now-iconic slogan

Automakers are beginning to shy away from traditional two-door, four-seat coupes, as customers are beginning to prioritize space and comfort over style. It’s why so many Gran Coupe/Sportback/four-door coupe models are becoming so popular. Incoming electrification will only exacerbate the issue, turning coupes more and more into things of the past. With that said, let’s

While the BMW M240i steals headlines for the 2 Series lineup, the entry-level BMW 230i is actually not too shabby, either. In fact, it’s actually quite a good little sports car, according to our own Horatiu, who recently drove it in Palm Springs, California. The BMW 230i is the starting point for the 2 Series

BMW fans are naturally excited about the upcoming M4 CSL, which is set to be the most badass of all M3/M4 models. When it hits the market, it will bring with it around 550 horsepower from its twin-turbocharged inline-six, an eight-speed automatic gearbox, rear-wheel drive, some cool aero, and less weight than the standard M4.

I want to love the new BMW M4 Competition xDrive Convertible (just not that long name, sheesh), I really do. I haven’t driven it yet but the idea of a 503 horsepower, all-wheel drive, BMW convertible is very exciting, especially one that drives as well as the standard M3 and M4. However, the previous F83
