BMW Was One of the Last Makers of the V10 Engine

Auto and Cars

BMW Was One of the Last Makers of the V10 Engine The V10 engine is done. Dead. Kaput. As BMW fans, it might be easy to forget that the V10 is mostly dead because it seems like yesterday that the Bavarians stuffed a screaming V10 under the hood of the E60 M5. It also sounds a bit odd to hear because so many incredible, iconic cars have had V10s over the years. The E60 BMW M5, Audi R8, Lamborghini Gallardo, Dodge Viper and the absolutely legendary Lexus LFA all had V10 engines. But most of those are all long gone. In fact, the Audi R8 and Lamborghini Huracan are really among the last V10 cars that will ever be made. That might sound a bit overly definitive, claiming that they’re among the last to ever be made, but it would actually be more surprising to see another V10 engine ...

Video: New BMW 6 Series GT Gets first promotional clip

Auto and Cars

Video: New BMW 6 Series GT Gets first promotional clip The launch of the refreshed BMW 6 Series GT was a bit overshadowed by the numerous other news coming from Germany this week. The 6 Series GT wasn’t a particularly popular car to begin with so it might’ve slipped under your radar. Nevertheless, BMW decided to operate a slight facelift on the last remaining 6 Series model in the range and bring it up to speed with the rest of the range. The 6 Series GT is definitely an odd model in the line-up of the Bavarian car maker. Some might argue that even with its distinct shape, it’s still more of a BMW than the 2 Series Gran Coupe, for example. Photo Comparison: New 6 Series GT vs. 6 Series GT pre-LCI vs. 5 Series GT And yet, a vast majority of fans of the blue and white r...

New BMW M3 (G80) and M4 (G82) will be unveiled in September 2020

Auto and Cars

New BMW M3 (G80) and M4 (G82) will be unveiled in September 2020 Even though we’ve hinted at a September 2020 unveil for the new BMW M3 and M4 Coupe, the news finally became official today. In an Instagram story, BMW M CEO Markus Flasch confirmed our previous reports: The two M brothers will debut this September. There is very little left unknown about the new G80 M3 and G82 M4. The cars have been leaked a few times before, while some of the technical specs have already been revealed in several interviews we’ve conducted with Herr Flasch. Coming next week, after the unveil of the new BMW 4 Series and M440i Coupe, we will have an even clearer image of the overall design of the M sportscars. So let’s recap a few things that we know so far. Rendering @zer.o.wt Manual Tra...

Is There Still Room Left in BMW’s Lineup for a 6 Series Coupe?

Auto and Cars

Is There Still Room Left in BMW’s Lineup for a 6 Series Coupe? Mercedes-Benz has just debuted the refreshed version of its E-Class Coupe, a two-door version of the extremely popular E-Class sedan. The newly-facelifted E-Class Coupe is a great looking car that offers the same grand-touring car comfort, dynamics and style as the S-Class Coupe, just in a less expensive package. Which got me thinking — is there still room in BMW’s lineup for a 6 Series Coupe? BMW and Mercedes-Benz are about as direct as rivals get. So it’s no secret that the two brands constantly try to one-up each other in the same segments. With that being said, the E-Class Coupe now presents a segment in which BMW no longer has a rival. It used to have the 6 Series Coupe, which was more or less a two-do...

2021 BMW 545e plug-in hybrid Not Coming to US Market

Auto and Cars

2021 BMW 545e plug-in hybrid Not Coming to US Market With the new BMW 5 Series LCI facelift, there will be two plug-in hybrid variants — the BMW 530e and BMW 545e. Both of which will use gasoline engines paired with electric motors but the former will get a four-cylinder and the latter will get the same powerful six-cylinder engine as the BMW 745e. Turns out, though, that only the four-pot 530e will be coming to the US market. After the BMW 7 Series received its LCI mid-cycle facelift, the plug-in hybrid variant received a bump up in engine size. The BMW 740e became the BMW 745e and its 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder became a 3.0 liter turbocharged six-cylinder. Here in the ‘States, we get the new six-cylinder plug-in hybrid 7 Series, so we were very excited about gett...

Auto and Cars

VIDEO: BMW M8 Competition Coupe Reviewed by The Smoking Tire This new BMW M8 Competition is an interesting car because its merit is based entirely on how you view it. If you’re looking for the ultimate in precision driving, you’re going to be disappointed, especially at its price point. But if you’re looking for a seriously fast grand touring car that’s also good in the twisties, then the M8 is among the best in its segment. In this new video from The Smoking Tire, we get to see exactly why that is. In this video, both Matt Farah and Zack Klapman drive the BMW M8 Competition Coupe, with about $20,000 worth of optional extras. That puts its right in line with cars like the Porsche 911 Turbo and Aston Martin DB11. So it it good enough to compete with cars like that...

Auto and Cars

New engines for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe to be added From July 2020, new engine options will become available for the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe (F44). Two new engines will be added to the 2 Series Gran Coupe lineup. Those upgrades will cater to the entry-level 2 Series Gran coupe model.

BMW Driving Assistant Professional gets additional functions

Auto and Cars

BMW Driving Assistant Professional gets additional functions Starting this summer, BMW’s Driving Assistant Professional package will come with a few new functions, to make highway driving a tad bit more autonomous. This new host of features is the fruit of BMW’s efforts in the autonomous driving field, where it has been involved for quite some time now alongside its partners like Mobileye, Delphi or Intel. By offering these functions, incremental additional steps are being made towards a fully autonomous vehicle. This can also be seen as a preview of what the iNext will bring to the table, the halo car which will be unveiled in 2021. The very same iNEXT is being touted as the most advanced model the Bavarians ever made. The focus of the new functions is on the steering and l...

Video: BMW 5 Series LCI gets emotional first video

Auto and Cars

Video: BMW 5 Series LCI gets emotional first video For the launch of the new BMW 5 Series facelift, the German carmaker created a unique video to promote the revamped model. Whereas the first videos of the latest models usually focused on the driving experience, for the refreshed 5er, the marketing people chose a different path. A path that focuses more on our personal lives rather than the driving experience. In this video, we see a kid writing a letter to his father who was mostly missing from his life. And this is an occurrence that happens more often these days than we’d like to admit. Our lifestyles are so fast paced and we’re so focused on our work targets that we sometimes forget about the most important people in our lives. It’s an interesting take from a car ...

2021 BMW 5 Series – interior Exterior and Drive (Perfect Sedan)

Auto and Cars

http://youtu.be/8fiTRUmMgOo The facelifted 5-series lineup still includes the four-cylinder 530i, six-cylinder 540i, V-8 M550i, and hybrid 530e models. BMW is subjecting its 5-series to a comprehensive if modest facelift that's designed to steal the thunder of Mercedes's somewhat more aggressively restyled E-Class and the still-fresh Audi A6. Set for a launch in mid-2020 as a 2021 model, the lineup will again comprise the 248-horsepower 530i, the 335-horsepower 540i, the 523-horsepower M550i, and the 288-horsepower 530e plug-in hybrid. All models will continue to be available with rear-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive, called xDrive, except for the AWD-only M550i xDrive. The even more powerful M5 will be updated in the not-too-distant future, mirroring the changes to these more p...

M Performance Parts for The New BMW 6 Series GT

Auto and Cars

M Performance Parts for The New BMW 6 Series GT BMW premieres the M Performance Parts program for the new and refreshed 6 Series Gran Turismo (G32 LCI). While for the pre-LCI 6 Series GT no M Performance Parts were developed, the new G32 facelift series now introduces a host of exquisite aerodynamic and chassis-tweaking components, specifically developed and bearing the essential BMW motor sport DNA. If the M Sport 6 Series GT is not aggressive or visually dynamic enough, the M Performance Parts program available now for the revised G32 generation is guaranteed to deliver the desired result. Like for the new 5 Series (G30/G31 LCI), the new 6 Series Gran Turismo will receive a powerfully sporty aura, thanks to the technically effective motorsport parts, which are set to render the car a...

The BMW M550i in Verde Ermes it the Best New 5 Series

Auto and Cars

The BMW M550i in Verde Ermes it the Best New 5 Series I must admit, I’ve been a bit of a harsh critic of BMW, lately. It seems as if each and every decision made by BMW over the past couple of years has been made by a computer, calculating risk and reward, potential profit and loss. However, every once in awhile, some madness shines through, a smile cracks on BMW’s typically stoic German face. Giving the BMW M550i an incredible color like Verde Ermes is one such moment and it’s the best part of the new 5 Series LCI. The 5 Series’ LCI is a successful one for a couple of key reasons; it takes an already good looking car and makes it better, it adds new and improved technology and it gets an awesome new green. Green is a criminally underused color in the automotive ...

Photo Comparison: BMW 5 Series LCI vs Audi A6

Auto and Cars

Photo Comparison: BMW 5 Series LCI vs Audi A6 Since its debut, right up until its facelift, the pre-LCI BMW 5 Series was a great looking car. Even as newer competition debuted, it was still a handsome and competitive looking premium sedan. Still, newer cars in the segment were bringing designs that were newer and slightly fresher, so BMW needed to do something to keep its 5 Series in the mix. One such competitor is the new Audi A6, which is a seriously good looking sedan and quite a bit newer than the pre-LCI G30 5er. We haven’t driven the new A6, so we’re not going to comment on how these cars drive but we will comment on how they look. Both cars are very good looking luxury sedans with more technology than anyone will need. But only one Bavarian shall stand at the end of t...

Auto and Cars

Photo Comparison: BMW 5 Series LCI vs. Mercedes-Benz E-Class In this visual comparison contest, we’ll find out how the new BMW 5 Series stacks up against its all-time arch-rival: the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. To begin with, it is safe to assume that even though both contenders share the same appurtenance to the premium executive segment, the two models have dramatically different philosophies when it comes to luxury. While the Merc E-Class has always been the more comfortable, the 5 Series has always stood up ahead as the more dynamic choice of the two. Both rivals are fully packed with the latest technology and each cater to their very own, select client audience. In the recent years, the E-Class managed to steal some of the 5 Series’ traditional clients, but the 5er has stil...

BMW M2: European production ends in Fall 2020

Auto and Cars

BMW M2: European production ends in Fall 2020 The clock is ticking for the last buyers of a BMW M2. The production of the compact sportscar for European customers will come to an end in Fall 2020. The end of the production cycle will apply to both the “regular” BMW M2 Competition and the recently announced BMW M2 CS. Customers outside of Europe will continue to receive allocations. Allegedly, the reason for the early end of the M2 production is closely related to the increasingly stringent emissions standards and the demanding requirements for the CO2 emissions of the European new car fleet. The BMW M760i with its V12 engine is another “victim” of these new emission rules. After the production of the current BMW M4 Coupe and Convertible was recently discon...

Auto and Cars

Frozen Black BMW M760Li xDrive gets some aftermarket upgrades If you want to say goodbye to a legend like the BMW V12 engine, you have to come up with something special. Auto-Dynamics.pl takes the already extroverted BMW M760Li and enhances its design with a few aftermarket touches. The most important upgrade is arguably the matte black exterior, which is similar to the factory Frozen Black paint. To take things a step further, the matte black surfaces are combined with 22-inch wheels finished in golden. Naturally, the combination between black and gold is meant to attract attention, while emphasizing the exclusive look of this 7 Series. The 22-inch light-alloy wheels are the Vossen Evo-5R design in patina gold, wrapped around the track-ready Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The 255 mill...

Video: BMW M5 Competition drag races tuned 750 HP Audi RS6

Auto and Cars

Video: BMW M5 Competition drag races tuned 750 HP Audi RS6 The new Audi RS6 has a tough road ahead. Arriving rather late to the party, the new RS6 has to battle two cars that have been receiving incredible reviews for quite some time now: the BMW M5 and the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. Both the M5 and AMG come with more “hardcore” choices, like the Competition version and the E63 S while the RS6 is available in just one guise for now. Therefore, the Ingolstadt-built model has to face some strong headwinds. It’s a really good looking car though, no matter what some people may say. And it has plenty of performance from the 4-liter twin-turbo V8 under the hood. However, the video below shows a drag race between the previous generation model RS6 and a stock BMW M5 Competition.

Video: Battle of the wagons – M340i Touring vs S4 Avant and C43 AMG T-Model Could wagons be making a comeback? The U.S.doesn’t seem to have a lot of love for them, therefore the low sales have prompted BMW to stop importing any kind of wagons. They have since been replaced exclusively by crossovers of all shapes and sizes. The BMW 3 Series Touring is a highly appreciated model in the enthusiasts world and is one of BMW’s best selling cars in Europe. Furthermore, when BMW launched the M340i Touring, customers quickly fell in love with the performance and handling of the stylish wagon. But, if you live in the US and want one, you’re out of luck. Of course, there are plenty of other brands who offer competitive touring products. For example, the Audi S4 Avant is...

World’s shortest video shows how to pronounce BMW correctly

Auto and Cars

World’s shortest video shows how to pronounce BMW correctly As you may be aware, BMW is not an American or English brand. BMW hails from Germany. Bavaria, Munich to be more precise. Therefore, if we’re to be completely fair, the name of the company is not always pronounced the way it should be. That’s nothing new though in the automotive industry. Looking at Hyundai, look at Lamborghini or even Audi and Volkswagen and, you’ll see the same pattern. So, how does a native German say the name of the beloved Bavarian brand? Well, BMW decided to make things crystal clear and created a two-second video with the correct pronunciation. It goes like this: Bee-Ehm-Wie. I know it’s a bit of a stretch from the English version but if you want to be 100% correct, that’s h...

Auto and Cars

Video: 840 PS BMW F90 M5 drag races Lamborghini Aventador SVJ We’ve already seen just how potent the new BMW M5 is in a straight line. Even in stock guise, the new M5 is a proper land rocket, a car that defies the laws of physics every time you launch it. For its size and weight, this sedan shouldn’t be able to do what it does. Not long ago we saw an 840 PS BMW M5 hang with the iconic McLaren 720S, also known as the king of drag racing. The 720S is one hard cookie to beat. I’ve seen it beat electric cars and everything in between. So naturally, when I saw the M5 lining up I didn’t expect it to win. It lost but not by much. This time we’re taking a look at the same M5 going against another incredibly fast car. As a matter of fact, this car holds the record o...

VIDEO: See Why It’s Probably Unwise to Buy a Cheap MINI JCW GP This new MINI John Cooper Works GP is an awesome looking thing and is said to be the most fun MINI in years. In fact, it’s probably the best driving little bulldog since the previous MINI JCW GP, which came out in 2013 and was a little riot of a car. Only 500 were brought to the ‘States, which makes it a rare car, too. So buying one would be awesome, right? Well, so long as you don’t buy this one. In this new video from The Fast Lane Car, they show off the very cheap 2013 MINI JCW GP they bought for just under $14,000. Considering that nice condition examples go for more than double that price, it seems as if the guys from TFLC got a great deal. However, upon closer inspect, you realize why it was so ...

BMW has offered up some new teaser photos of the 6 Series GT LCI, which show off the car’s new updates.

REVIEW: 2020 Porsche Taycan 4S – Is This The Best Electric Car in the World?

Auto and Cars

REVIEW: 2020 Porsche Taycan 4S – Is This The Best Electric Car in the World? It’s hard to describe the journalists’ anticipation and anxiety when Porsche unveiled the Mission E concept. It may seem odd to some, but it makes once you think about it. Those unfazed by the new Porsche Taycan, which is basically the production guise of the Mission E, will be ones who know that this is not the first ever electric car to bear the Porsche name on it. That honor goes back over 100 years ago when the Lohner-Porsche “machine” was a thing. This was initially an electric car, using hub-mounted electric motors, something you don’t see today unless you live on Mars, where the electric Rover does his thing. Interesting tidbit: NASA used that same tech on the only object t...

With the new X5 xDrive45e, performance is going up, as the name suggests and there’s a big change happening under the hood. New Powertrain The 2020 BMW X5 xDrive45e...
