Video: BMW G80 M3 looks rapid during tests on the ‘Ring

Auto and Cars

Video: BMW G80 M3 looks rapid during tests on the ‘Ring By all accounts BMW is currently hard at work, despite the lockdown. Cars need to be finished on time and when it comes to the upcoming M3, nothing can be left to chance. That’s probably why the G80 M3 has been spotted so often on the usual Bavarian proving grounds, the Nurburgring, aka Green Hell. This latest video though shows the car being pushed to the limit and carrying some impressive speed through the corners. We’ve seen the car on this track before, but this time, for some reason, it seems to be going faster than ever. The footage shows it carrying some serious speed into corners with a lot of lateral grip. Also, at one point I think we get confirmation that all-wheel drive trickery is involved, as all four whee...

2020 Pebble Beach Concourse d’Elegance is officially cancelled and I’m Sad

Auto and Cars

2020 Pebble Beach Concourse d’Elegance is officially cancelled and I’m Sad Events and gatherings are being cancelled months in advance, across the world. The Coronavirus is wreaking havoc on our social norms and their cancellations are beginning to take their tolls on our mental health. One such event whose cancellation is collectively bumming out the entire North American enthusiast community is the 2020 Pebble Beach Concourse d’Elegance. Last year, I was privileged enough to go to Pebble with BMW and it was easily one of the very best automotive experiences of my life. Admittedly, most established journalists have been to Pebble numerous times but I haven’t. Just the once. And it was everything I’d imagined it would be. Which is why I’m a bit sad that Pebble is...

MINI Cooper SE takes on two rivals in Autocar test

Auto and Cars

MINI Cooper SE takes on two rivals in Autocar test Now that the MINI Cooper SE is here, it brings an entirely new group of competitors to the BMW Group. Cars like the Peugeot e-208 and Renault Zoe, two electric hatchbacks, are both little EVs that are quite excellent but that the BMW Group didn’t have an answer for. In this new comparison test from Autocar, we take a look at how the all-new Cooper SE stacks up against its more established EV rivals. Under the hood of the MINI Cooper SE lies a single electric motor that makes 181 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque and sends all of it to just the front axle. That motor is powered by a 32 kWh battery pack, which helps provide 144 miles of all-electric range (WLTP Euro cycle). So how does that stack up against the Peugeot e-208 and the Renaul...

The $1 million BMW we forgot about: BMW 328 Roadster

Auto and Cars

The $1 million BMW we forgot about: BMW 328 Roadster There are very few BMWs that reach the “millionaire status”, but when they do, they’re quite special. One of them is the BMW 328 Roadster from the BMW Group Classic collection, a car we had a chance to sample a few years back. The price as valued by the folks in Munich? A bit over $1 million dollars. Built between 1936 and 1940, the BMW 328 laid down a milestone in automotive history and was the most successful sports car of the 1930s on the racing scene. Agility, acceleration, reliability and lightweight construction – the BMW designers focused on the essentials in the development of the 328, ushering in a new era in the process. Indeed, at a time when powerful supercharged “Kompressor” machines r...

Dahler unveils tuning kit for BMW M340i with M3-rivaling numbers

Auto and Cars

Dahler unveils tuning kit for BMW M340i with M3-rivaling numbers The BMW M340i is slowly becoming a tuners’ favorite. It has plenty of power out of the box, yet some people won’t be satisfied anyway. And since we’re still waiting for the new G80 M3 to show up, it could work as a surrogate with a bit more punch. That’s what Dahler has in store for you, in case you’re interested. The Swiss tuner created a tuning package for the M340i that offers a couple of different power output stages. The Stage 1 upgrade gets you over what the current M3 is offering in terms of power from the get go. With it, the 3-liter turbocharged straight-six, output goes up to 442 PS (436 HP) while the torque levels rise to 630 Nm (465 lb-ft). That’s mighty impressive considerin...

BMW 3.0 CSL – One Of The Most Iconic Cars In The World

Auto and Cars

BMW 3.0 CSL – One Of The Most Iconic Cars In The World As far as iconic Bimmers go, the BMW 3.0 CSL is right at the top of the list. I would go even further and say that the 3.0 CSL is one of the most iconic cars in the world. Among true BMW fans, or just can enthusiasts in general, the 3.0 CSL is considered an all-time great. Its styling, its brilliant engine and its impressive motorsport pedigree all combine to make it one of Bavaria’s best and a fan favorite. How Did It Come To Life Born in the 1970s, the BMW 3.0 CSL is now a part of BMW Classic, some of the most pristine models in the world today being part of their portfolio. Developed as a homologation model for the German Touring Car Championship in the first place, the 3.0 CSL model was actually an upgraded model of t...

VIDEO: What’s it like to drive a brand-new E46 BMW M3?

Auto and Cars

VIDEO: What’s it like to drive a brand-new E46 BMW M3? Ask a BMW enthusiast what the best driving M3 of all time is and they’re likely going to say the E46 M3. It’s almost universally considered to be the high-water mark for the M3 model line and for good reason. Its engine is the last naturally-aspirated inline-six to ever be fitted to an M3, its chassis is about as perfectly balanced as it gets and its steering is telepathic. It was and still is an incredible driving car. However, if you want one, you might have to look far and wide to find one that hasn’t been messed with or abused. Though, Enthusiast Auto Group has one that only has 15,000 miles on it. Because of course they do. In this video, we get to see an E46 BMW M3 that’s so minty fresh it looks as if i...

VIDEO: Edmunds discusses the BMW X3 M Competition and Competitors As car enthusiasts, we’re all sick of performance crossovers. In a world where efficiency and pragmatism are paramount, these uber-expensive, extremely inefficient and absolutely pointless crossovers are killing the auto industry that we know and love. Despite our different brand affiliations, all car enthusiasts are sick of these ridiculous crossovers. You are, I am, we all are. To quote my favorite talking tree, “We are Groot”. However, as much as we might be sick of them, they’re here to stay and, I begrudgingly admit, some of them are surprisingly good to drive. The BMW X3 M Competition being one of them. In this new video from Edmunds, we get to listen to four different editors discuss four di...

Take a Look Back at the History at BMW’s Kidney Grilles

Auto and Cars

Take a Look Back at the History at BMW’s Kidney Grilles When BMW first showed off its new kidney grille design for the Concept 4, there was a collective gasp among the world’s car enthusiasts. Its bold new design seemed to unite all enthusiasts, of every brand, in mocking it. However, with a bit of hindsight, you can see that the grille design of the Concept 4, and subsequent 4 Series/M4/i4, isn’t the only bold grille choice in BMW’s history. In fact, the Bavarians have always make bold decisions for its grilles. This new article from Car Scoops shows off a great many different kidney grille designs throughout BMW’s hundred-year history and it’s fascinating to see just how brash and bold many of them were. First, take a look at all the pre-war cars. All of ...

Lumma Design BMW X7 looks meaner than usual, better than expected

Auto and Cars

Lumma Design BMW X7 looks meaner than usual, better than expected Just a few months ago, Lumma Design showed us what they have in store for the BMW X7. Their kit, dubbed the CLR X7, following the naming procedures used by the tuner over the years, looked like an overkill in the initial renderings. That really wasn’t surprising, considering how opulent Lumma Design products usually are. However, now that the first pictures of an actual car wearing the kit have popped up online. To our surprise, it’s not nearly as obnoxious as we expected. The Lumma Design CLR X7 kit comes with a host of bits and pieces which form a puzzle on the final product. You need to take into account the wheel arch extensions combined with the new front fascia which features a new spoiler, attached to t...

BMW Should Make Modern Stereo Replacements for Classic Cars

Auto and Cars

BMW Should Make Modern Stereo Replacements for Classic Cars As a lover of classic cars, I do have to admit that driving around without a modern stereo or the ability to play my own music is a bit of a bummer. I personally prefer driving old cars to new ones but each and every time I do, I end up missing Bluetooth connectivity. We seriously take for granted how easy it is to hook up our phones and listen to Spotify and have every one of our favorite songs at our fingertips. In a classic car, that technology is obviously lacking. However, Porsche just announced that it’s releasing modern touchscreen stereo head-units for its classic cars and it’s extremely exciting for classic Porsche owners. The folks in Stuttgart have released two separate stereos, one for single-DIN (Deutsc...

Rolls-Royce Dawn gets hit by Rental Mustang Due to Pedal Mix-Up It’s not surprising that news of a Mustang has crashing into another expensive car has broken. I’m not sure what it is about Mustangs but there seems to be at least one Mustang crash outside of any gather of car enthusiasts. YouTube is filled to the brim with Cars and Coffee Mustang crashes. However, this time, it wasn’t even a Mustang owner but a renter and the car victim car was, sadly, a Rolls-Royce Dawn. Apparently, a man in a rented Mustang mistook the gas pedal for the brake pedal and accelerated into a brand-new Dawn, which was parked on a dealership lot. It’s actually quite shocking to see the damage disparity between the two cars. The Mustang looks as if it lost a fight with a bulldozer but ...

Awesome or Outrageous: E30 BMW M3 with E46 M3 S54-Swap?

Auto and Cars

Awesome or Outrageous: E30 BMW M3 with E46 M3 S54-Swap? There’s an opinion among some BMW enthusiasts that the E30 BMW M3 isn’t actually the best version of the E30 3 Series. Instead, some Bimmerphiles actually prefer the E30 BMW 325i, as its 2.5 liter inline-six engine is torquier and more powerful than the 2.3 liter inline-four of the M3. So even though the M3 is the sharper, more engaging driver’s car, many fans prefer the 325i’s more usable power. However, what if you could have the best of both worlds? Over at Casto Motorsports, they decided to swap out the iconic S14 four-cylinder engine from the E30 BMW M3 and replace it with an S54 3.2 liter inline-six from an E46 M3. So it’s still getting a bigger six-cylinder engine, with more usable low-down torq...

BMW M5 Competition Individual featured in Austin Yellow metallic BMW Abu Dhabi Motors has come with yet another striking model: the BMW M5 Competition Individual featured in Austin Yellow metallic. It never ceases to amaze how many possibilities of eye-catching individualizations BMW offers, with the imagination being the only limit. The newest resident of the famous Middle East showroom is a special M5 Competition whose specification includes a load of BMW Individual appointments. The Austin Yellow metallic color is well known from the M4 standard offering, but for the M5 is a lesser known choice. This particularly mouth-watering shade of yellow is part of the practically infinite BMW Individual catalogue of colors. Austin Yellow metallic perfectly rounds off the lavish specification ...

SPIED: BMW X2 LCI Coming in 2021 with New Grilles

Auto and Cars

SPIED: BMW X2 LCI Coming in 2021 with New Grilles Among enthusiasts, the BMW X2 isn’t the most beloved Bimmer in the brand’s stable. Its funky looks, front-wheel drive layout and lack of any sort of real practicality make it a bit of a punching bag for the BMW faithful. However, customers seem to like it more than die-hard enthusiasts, as it’s selling surprisingly well. Of course, that means it’s going to get its mid-cycle facelift (LCI, as BMW calls it), to keep it looking fresh, as seen in these new spy photos. (We don’t own the photos but see them here) In these new spy photos, we see a matte-black BMW X2 test mule, doing some surprisingly un-camouflaged testing. Its grille is covered by a makeshift plastic piece of trim with some mesh inside and the res...

Video: 2021 BMW M440i Convertible Spotted testing on Nurburgring

Auto and Cars

Video: 2021 BMW M440i Convertible Spotted testing on Nurburgring It’s true, hardtop convertibles will be soon gone from the BMW line-up completely. Up until not long ago (even though it does seem like an eternity) we had not one but two drop-tops in the BMW line-up with metal, retracting roofs; the old Z4 and the 3/4 Series convertible. Starting this year, there will be none, as all BMW convertibles will be using textile roofs, including the 4 Series range. The 4 Series was the last model using that sort of system but that won’t be the case anymore. We’d heard rumors about it but it wasn’t until we saw the first prototypes of the upcoming convertible 4er that we started to believe them. Well, the latest footage of a 4 Series Convertible model testing on the Nurbu...

VIDEO: Which is Faster — BMW i3 or MINI Cooper SE?

Auto and Cars

VIDEO: Which is Faster — BMW i3 or MINI Cooper SE? BMW has a lot of competition in the EV market, with brands like Tesla, Chevrolet, Audi and now even Honda all swimming in the EV waters. However, is there a bit of an intra-BMW Group EV competition? In this new video from InsideEVs, we take a look at the MINI Cooper SE and the BMW i3, to which one is faster in a drag race. What’s interesting is that both cars have similar powertrains, just on opposite axles. The BMW i3 uses a single electric motor on the rear axle that makes 170 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, which is fed power from a 42 kWh battery pack. On the flip side, the MINI Cooper SE uses the same 181 hp and 199 lb-ft electric motor as the BMW i3s (the sportier version) but it’s fed by a 32 kWh battery pack. However, wh...

SPIED: BMW 2 Series Active Tourer Interior seen with new console Quite possibly the most forgotten and un-loved BMW on sale at the moment is the 2 Series Active Tourer. While not actually a bad car, as it does exactly what it’s supposed to do and does it well, it’s not one that enthusiasts seem to care about at all. However, despite it not being very exciting and/or popular, it’s getting another generation and we can see the next-gen 2er AT in these new spy photos. (We don’t own the photos but they can be seen here) In these new photos, we can see some of the exterior design of the next-gen 2 Series Active Tourer but not too much, as it’s heavily wrapped in camouflage. However, what we do get to see well, though, is the interior. Inside the new 2 Series Ac...

Auto and Cars

SPIED: 2021 BMW X2 LCI possibly in for bigger nostrils Recently spotted 2021 BMW X2 LCI prototype could possibly hide a bigger kidney grille underneath the heavy camouflage panel on the front end. The refreshment for the X2 compact Sports Activity Coupe is scheduled for unveiling as we near mid-2020. The camouflaged test prototype continue their street and final experimental phase (FEP), as revealed by the latest spy shots (you can check them out here). After the X1 LCI was revealed in 2019, the X2 sibling is next in line to receive a mid-life facelift. We do not expect dramatic visual changes, yet it is very likely that the F39 generation will indeed look fresher and bolder after the procedure. While the recently spotted test vehicle wore a light cladding, it is possible that the new ...

Could the 3 Series be getting new competition from… the Mazda 6?

Auto and Cars

Could the 3 Series be getting new competition from… the Mazda 6? The walls have to feel as if they’re closing in on Zee Germans. In just the past few years, the German Big Three; BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi; have gained more new competitors than ever before. Brands like Genesis, Ford and even Hyundai have all put out products that can rival the Germans. One such brand that might be following in those footsteps is Mazda and it apparently has its eyes set on the 3 Series. It’s seldom that newcomers can properly take on the BMW 3 Series but if there’s one that can do it, it’s Mazda. The small-ish Japanese automaker is famous for making delightful cars to drive, such as the MX-5 and even the little Mazda 3. However, the car that will be taking on the 3 Series will be...

G-Power unveils 510 PS kit for the BMW M340i xDrive

Auto and Cars

G-Power unveils 510 PS kit for the BMW M340i xDrive We’re all waiting for the new BMW G80 M3 and G82 M4, but the highly coveted M brothers are still a few months away. But, if you just can’t seem to wait anymore, you have some different solutions from two very different companies: ALPINA and G-Power. While the ALPINA B3 has been around for quite some time, I’m sure some of you might be confused by the G-Power mention. That’s because the German tuner just announced its kit for the BMW M340i xDrive and it’s a beast. The most powerful version, the GP-510, has no less than 510 PS (503 HP) squeezed out of the 3-liter straight six B58 engine under the hood. How? It’s a mix of both hardware and software changes. The ECU map is, of course, modified, but you a...

G20 BMW 3 Series Compact rendered: perfect 1 Series replacement?

Auto and Cars

G20 BMW 3 Series Compact rendered: perfect 1 Series replacement? The original BMW 3 Series Compact never received a ton of love from fans of the brand. The two generations of the smaller 3er never rose to the expectations BMW had of them and that was mainly because of the peculiar design these cars had. It’s understandable too, because they were based on some of the best looking 3 Series models ever made and the comparison would not do them justice. Other than that, having driven a couple myself, I can tell you the Compact models were great driving cars. They did cut into the practicality factor but they were pretty good on the roads though. So what was the purpose of the 3 Series Compact? Well, it was an initial effort from BMW to diversify its offerings and attract new customers...

SPIED: 2020 BMW 4 Series Coupe seen with M Performance Parts As we near the official reveal of the next-gen 2020 BMW 4 Series, we’re seeing a seemingly never-ending stream of spy photos. While most of the test mules spotted in public have been heavily covered in camouflage, we’ve seen enough here and there to piece together what we think the next-gen 4er will look like. From what we’ve seen so far, the car’s overall design seems quite nice and we’re excited to see it. In these new spy photos that were released, we see what seems to be an M440i with M Performance add-ons doing so camouflaged testing. (We don’t own the spy photos but they can be seen here) Up front, even through the camo, it seems as if there’s a bit of an additional front lip, li...

Autoblog compares BMW X7 M50i vs BMW M760i

Auto and Cars

Autoblog compares BMW X7 M50i vs BMW M760i When I first drove the BMW X7, there was one car that I immediately felt was in a bit of trouble — the BMW 7 Series. With both cars being roughly the same price, the X7 immediately felt like a better car for the money. However, the 7 Series has a bit higher of a luxury ceiling, in the form of the BMW M760i. So with that in mind, which car’s top-of-the-line model is better; the BMW X7 M50i or the BMW M760i? This might sound like a bit of an odd test, as the M760i is more luxurious, has a bigger, more powerful engine and is a far more exclusive. So it must be better, right? Well, it also costs about $60,000 more than the X7 M50i. So if optioned correctly, you could have an X7 M50i and the next-gen M3 with a manual for the price of jus...
