Even though the Bavarians are pressing ahead with electrification, they are not giving up on internal combustion engines. The V12 is going away, but new six- and eight-cylinder gasoline and diesel powertrains are coming. Automobilewoche, the German side of Automotive News, cites BMW boss Oliver Zipse saying it’s premature to discontinue ICEs. The disclosure was […]

ADVERTISEMENT Rest assured if you happen to have a BMW originally sold in the UK with the N57 engine. Your diesel doesn’t have the same problem experienced by police cars. The company’s local division has admitted there’s something wrong with the straight-six 3.0-liter unit. However, these do not impact cars sold to regular customers. It’s

Let’s dial our imaginary time machine and go back in time when BMW North America introduced the M3 Coupe Lime Rock Park Edition. It happened in mid-2012 when the M car finished in Fire Orange was unveiled exclusively for the US. Only 200 cars were ever built that summer, and now one of them can

ADVERTISEMENT Manhart is still tuning diesel engines in this day and age? That might seem a bit peculiar for those living outside of Europe, but the oil-burner still has its adepts on the Old Continent.

ADVERTISEMENT MINI is doing better than ever after selling just over 300,000 cars in 2021 or 3.3% more than the year before. Demand for plug-in hybrids and EVs is on the rise as electrified models accounted for around 17% of all sales last year. Starting today, February 1, Stefanie Wurst has the difficult task to

[embedded content] ADVERTISEMENT The 335i was certainly not underpowered as its N54 had 300 hp and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) back in the day. While it pales in comparison to the M340i available nowadays, those remain healthy numbers even by today’s standards. Still, some would argue there’s room for improvement, and this discreetly modified sedan

ADVERTISEMENT As part of a tie-up between BMW and Land Rover, the new Range Rover utilizes the N63 engine dialed to 523 horsepower. It would seem the British luxury brand will also gain access to the high-performance version by using the S63. A new report states the next Range Rover Sport will rock the M

Last week, we talked about the BMW iX being recalled in certain European Union countries because of a faulty A-pillar interior panel. Yet another “i” model from the company’s new wave of electric vehicles faces a recall in select EU countries. We’re talking about the i4 and the problems it might have related to the
