The BMW 750Li Tupac was shot in can be yours for $1.75 million

The BMW 750Li Tupac was shot in can be yours for $1.75 million

The BMW 750Li Tupac was shot in can be yours for $1.75 million It may be a bit morbid but celebrity memorabilia has never been more intriguing as this car. You can basically buy ‘the place’ where Tupac was shot and killed. Awkward, I know, but this is really an interesting opportunity and, dare I say, a rare chance to own something truly connected to the famous rapper. The BMW 750Li he was riding in that night in Las Vegas is now up for grabs and the price tag is sporting will definitely require a lot of commitment on your side. I can’t really see anyone buying this car unless they had Tupac posters in their room back in the day. Only a huge Tupac fan or collector could possibly be willing to pay the asking price of $1.75 million for this car. Don’t get me wrong,...

BMW joins IRMA, highlights efforts to source ethically mined resources

BMW joins IRMA, highlights efforts to source ethically mined resources

BMW joins IRMA, highlights efforts to source ethically mined resources BMW has been making a point lately, highlighting the fact that electric cars are not eco-friendly as many people might think. A lot goes into making an EV that could be considered harmful and that’s something all car makers need to address. For instance, the mining of rare-Earth materials used in batteries is often even more damaging to the environment than internal combustion cars. Late last year BMW announced it will be sourcing all the elements needed for its batteries ethically and that, in the near future, BMW-developed batteries won’t need rare Earths at all. This week another step was made in the right direction. BMW announced it will be the first car maker to join IRMA, the Initiative for Responsi...

The new BMW M5 Edition 35 Years Edition “Jahre” arrives in Abu Dhabi

The new BMW M5 Edition 35 Years Edition “Jahre” arrives in Abu Dhabi After the M850i xDrive Gran Coupe and X7 M50i, the latest star to hit the stage of the BMW Abu Dhabi dealership is the special BMW M5 35 Years Edition. The famous Bimmer showroom from the UAE is now blessed to finally receive its so painstakingly awaited brand new BMW M5 Edition 35 Jahre, a tribute car to the iconic M5 high-performance sedan of the E28 series which celebrated its debut back in 1985.

Bosch’s transparent LCD Virtual Visor might eliminate the pesky sun

Bosch’s transparent LCD Virtual Visor might eliminate the pesky sun

Bosch’s transparent LCD Virtual Visor might eliminate the pesky sun There are a few automotive designs that, despite their incredible simplicity and age, are still around, virtually unchanged since their inception. One of which is the side mirror, which didn’t really change at all until Audi decided to replace it with a camera and it’s barely an improvement. However, another, and even simpler, automotive technology that’s still around is the sun-visor; a little hinged board that blocks the sun. In 2020, that seems hilariously antiquated but it still works so don’t fix it, right? Apparently, Bosch feels otherwise. The German supplier giant has just unveiled a very early look at its latest new technology, one that will debut at the 2020 CES — the Virtual Viso...

This is the World’s First BMW M3 CS Touring (F81)

This is the World’s First BMW M3 CS Touring (F81)

This is the World’s First BMW M3 CS Touring (F81) The idea of a BMW M3 Touring is unfortunately a doomed one. Not only has there never been such a car but the Bavarians have been very clear that such a car will never exist. Their actual reasoning for that is still unknown to us, as BMW’s two main German competitors make their own versions (Mercedes-AMG C63 and Audi RS4 Avant). So the idea of BMW making an M3 CS Touring is really out of the question, as the M3 CS is the low-volume, most hardcore version of the car. But what if you wanted one anyway? Well, yo might be able to get one from a man by the name of sorry Sander Koelemij. Koelemij is the owner of the Dutch aftermarket parts company, Fullcartuning and he developed his very own BMW M3 CS Touring, a car that was revealed at ...

Fuel-Cell Powered BMW X6 and X7 models coming in a few years

Fuel-Cell Powered BMW X6 and X7 models coming in a few years

Fuel-Cell Powered BMW X6 and X7 models coming in a few years Electric cars are growing in numbers and popularity these days. The trend continues and some see electric cars as the next big thing, a revolution in the way we move, if you will. However, battery power is not necessarily good for every single type of transportation. Fuel-cell cars could fill in the blanks in certain cases. At least that’s what BMW’s boss of R&D thinks right now. BMW has been one of the companies that tried to get hydrogen-powered cars off the ground and running. Their experiments in the field extend back to the beginning of the 21st century and now, working with Toyota, the Bavarians seem closer than ever to reaching that goal. Last year they unveiled a BMW X5 powered by fuel-cells, which wou...

BMW R&D Boss: quad-turbo diesel engine to be retired, V12 to follow

BMW R&D Boss: quad-turbo diesel engine to be retired, V12 to follow

BMW R&D Boss: quad-turbo diesel engine to be retired, V12 to follow Not long ago we caught wind of some troubling news coming in from Germany. A report claimed that the spectacular quad-turbo B57S engine used on the likes of the BMW 750d or the M550d was set for retirement. Back then it was just a rumor but the confirmation came out today, in the shape of an interview with BMW’s own boss of research and development, Mr. Klaus Froehlich. Speaking to Automotive News Europe, Froehlich explained that due to the cuts the company has to make in key areas and the complex regulatory systems it has to abide, some engines will be cut from the line-ups. These will be engines that are not exactly popular and yet are expensive to maintain between the emission levels demanded in several markets...

BMW CLAR platform to get important update in 2021

BMW CLAR platform to get important update in 2021

BMW CLAR platform to get important update in 2021 The changes the automotive industry is going through these days will definitely have a big impact on both the manufacturers and the customers. Most see electrification as the next big thing, even though we’re all aware of the shortcomings brought along by electric vehicles. That’s one of the reasons why certain manufacturers aren’t embracing the EV trend wholeheartedly. BMW is one of them. The Germans are keeping their options open, using flexible platforms for their cars, which should be able to house all types of motors. According to the Research and Development boss in Munich, Klaus Froehlich, this would allow BMW to adapt on the go, providing all types of cars, depending on the demand. “A flexible architectur...

VIDEO: Watch this hilariously ’80s BMW 7 Series Video Manual

VIDEO: Watch this hilariously ’80s BMW 7 Series Video Manual

VIDEO: Watch this hilariously ’80s BMW 7 Series Video Manual Personally, I love the ’80s. I’m fascinated with the entire decade, from the cars to the movies to the wars. Everything about the ’80s either intrigues me or makes me laugh, due to the sheer absurdity of it all. This old video manual for the BMW 7 Series from 1989 is part of that, as it’s so cheesy and overdone. Back in the late ’80s, BMW realized that the 7 Series was too high-tech for customers to learn via a traditional user’s manual. How could someone possibly read about the cutting-edge six-disc CD changer and intermittent wipers? So the Bavarians put together a video about the car, what it can do and how customers felt about it. And it’s so hilariously ’80s that I couldn&rs...

VIDEO: Why was BMW behind Mercedes-Benz in sales for many years?

VIDEO: Why was BMW behind Mercedes-Benz in sales for many years? It’s just been learned that BMW surpassed Mercedes-Benz in sales for 2019, marking the first sales victory for the Bavarian brand since 2016. Admittedly, there might be an asterisk on that sales victory, due to some potential sales inflation on BMW’s end. As it stands right now, though, the Bavarians are ahead of Mercedes-Benz for 2019. However, it was a bit of a struggle to get that victory, as Mercedes has had a bit of a stranglehold on the luxury sales figures over the past few years. So why has BMW been behind Mercedes so often recently? This video from CNBC tries to shine a light on why the Bavarian brand has struggled a bit over the past couple of years. While BMW recently surpassed Mercedes-Benz globally...

BMW Group Classic anniversaries and heritage milestones for 2020

BMW Group Classic anniversaries and heritage milestones for 2020

BMW Group Classic anniversaries and heritage milestones for 2020 BMW Group Classic throttles into 2020 with an impressive list of heritage milestones and anniversaries. This year, the automotive conglomerate marks 100 years since the production of the first Boxer motorcycle engine, 90 years since the advent of the BMW roadster tradition back in 1930, 80 years since the victory of BMW in the Mille Miglia race and 60 years of model and variant diversity at MINI. Birth of the Boxer engine – tribute to brilliant engineer Martin Strolle Aged 34 in 1920, Martin Strolle was an engineer working for the BMW engine development department. Because of the interdiction to produce aircraft engine in the post-war era, BMW needed a sparkle to survive, besides the ordinary production of four-cyli...

REVIEW: Is the BMW X3 still the best-in-class choice?

REVIEW: Is the BMW X3 still the best-in-class choice?

REVIEW: Is the BMW X3 still the best-in-class choice? The G01 generation of the BMW X3 has already been on the market since Summer 2017. By 2021, when it is programmed for the Life Cycle Impulse procedure, the premium midsized SAV will have a tricky challenge to accomplish with the third generation of the Mercedes-Benz GLC lurking in sight and the Audi Q5 facelift already on the market. BMW X3: The Pioneer Of Its Class BMW came up with the X3 solution back in 2003. The constructor was entering a flourishing period back then and was actively looking to establish new market segments. The X3 came up as a mobility solution for those who wanted to have a high-riding vehicle, not as large as the X5, but which was also suitable for daily city use. The X3 invented the medium class Sports Activi...

BMW Reclaims Luxury Sales Crown in the US after 4-year hiatus

BMW Reclaims Luxury Sales Crown in the US after 4-year hiatus

BMW Reclaims Luxury Sales Crown in the US after 4-year hiatus Yesterday, carmakers published their sales totals for the US market. Most manufacturers published record numbers, with slight increases overall for the US market. In the luxury segment, BMW managed to beat its main rival, Mercedes-Benz, for the first time since 2015. The hard efforts put in by everyone at BMW of North America finally paid off – the Bavarians announced an overall increase for 2019 of 4.4 percent in sales volume. After a 4-year hiatus, BMW is finally reclaiming the number one spot in the luxury segment in the US. The Munich-based car maker announced it sold 324,826 cars in 2019, beating Mercedes-Benz by 8,732 units. That’s a very narrow gap, mind you, and it comes after Mercedes posted a drop in sal...

The BMW X6 M50i is a surprisingly good Baby-Mobile, per Jalopnik

The BMW X6 M50i is a surprisingly good Baby-Mobile, per Jalopnik

The BMW X6 M50i is a surprisingly good Baby-Mobile, per Jalopnik One of the most commonly mocked BMWs is the X6. Its relative uselessness, odd-ball styling and just lack of real purpose make the BMW X6 a car that few enthusiasts seem to love. However, according to this new review from Jalopnik, the X6 M50i is very good at one thing, at least — baby-duty. In this new review from Jalopnik, Deputy Editor Michael Balaban used the BMW X6 M50i as essentially a sleep-chamber for his infant son. Which makes a ton of sense, as modern BMW luxury car cabins are silent enough to be such things. With an ultra-quiet cabin, a relatively comfortable ride and little vibration coming through the car’s suspension, the new X6 is surprisingly good a putting an infant to sleep. Like many parents,...

Video: BMW M340i drag races Audi S4, Volvo S60 and E53 AMG

Video: BMW M340i drag races Audi S4, Volvo S60 and E53 AMG The new year is bringing out some interesting drag races. The first one from the guys at Carwow includes a rather curious mix of cars. Lining up at the starting line are a BMW M340i xDrive, an Audi S4, a Volvo S60 and the Mercedes-AMG E53 Coupe. While the first three could be considered direct rivals (even though the Audi is in Avant guise), the Merc is supposed to be on par with the likes of the 5 Series and A6. What makes things even more interesting is the mix of powertrains on display. We have a diesel engine going up against a hybrid and two petrol alternatives. The Audi S4 is now sold with a diesel 3-liter engine good for 347 HP and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque. That’s what Audi decided for the European market, where...

BMW gets back ahead of Mercedes-Benz in US Sales

BMW gets back ahead of Mercedes-Benz in US Sales

BMW gets back ahead of Mercedes-Benz in US Sales It’s been a long time since BMW beat out Mercedes-Benz in US sales. In fact, the last time the Bavarians were ahead of their German rivals was 2015, marking a four-year stint in second place. It took the final month of 2019 for BMW to jump ahead of Mercedes-Benz, by selling a very healthy 35,746 cars this past December. Following that healthy December, BMW finished 2019 by selling over 8,000 more vehicles than Mercedes-Benz, which is a nice lead. You can thank a couple of models for that impressive sales year. Both the BMW X7 and new G20-gen 3 Series have really boosted the brand’s sales figures, as both cars have become incredibly popular in the US. The X7 is the most surprising, to be honest, as it’s extremely expensiv...

Albert Biermann and Hyundai N might make a Cayman-fighter

Albert Biermann and Hyundai N might make a Cayman-fighter

Albert Biermann and Hyundai N might make a Cayman-fighter For years, BMW fans have been begging BMW’s M Division for a bespoke sports car, something not based on an existing BMW product. While we’ll be getting a bespoke M model soon enough, it’s likely to be in the form of an X8 SUV, hardly what the fans were asking for. Instead, what they wanted was something more along the lines of the Porsche Cayman or Alpine A110. Rubbing salt in the X8-sized wound is the fact that former BMW M boss Albert Biermann is very much considering building a Cayman fighter of his own… for Hyundai N. If you haven’t already heard, Albert Biermann, formerly of BMW M, is now the head of Hyundai’s N performance division. Since he’s taken over, both the i30 N and Veloste...

BMW Sales Increase 4.0% in December, 4.4 percent up in 2019

BMW Sales Increase 4.0% in December, 4.4 percent up in 2019 BMW sales totaled 35,746 vehicles in December 2019, an increase of 4.0 percent over the 34,357 vehicles sold in December 2018. For the full year 2019 BMW sales increased 4.4 percent on total sales of 324,826, compared to the 311,014 vehicles sold in 2018. In 2019, BMW brand sales in the U.S. continued to rise on the strength of new model launches, including the best-selling X3 and X5 and first-ever X7. The all-new BMW 3 Series launched in February and was a top performer in the premium sedan segment. “We’ve talked a lot over the course of the past two years about having the right product mix for the market, and we believe that with all of our recent launches, we have just that,” said Bernhard Kuhn...

Car and Driver puts BMW X7 against Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class

Car and Driver puts BMW X7 against Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class

Car and Driver puts BMW X7 against Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class Mercedes-Benz has been competing in this segment for years, previously with the GL-Class SUV. Three-row SUVs are not unfamiliar to the Stuttgart-based brand. However, they are relatively unfamiliar to BMW, as the new X7 is the brand’s first ever SUV with three dedicated rows of seating. So it’s interesting to see how the BMW X7 takes on the latest big SUV from Mercedes-Benz — the GLS-Class. Which is exactly what Car and Driver finds out in this latest test. Without spoiling too much of C&D’s comparison, as it’s worth reading if you’re in the market for a three-row SUV, the two cars are similar but offer different attributes that will be attractive to customers. In other words, there’...

BMW X7 M50i gets showcased in Alpine White with BMW Individual interior

BMW X7 M50i gets showcased in Alpine White with BMW Individual interior The BMW Abu Dhabi dealership is unveiling a brand new masterpiece: A BMW X7 M50i featured in Alpine White color and adorned with BMW Individual appointments. The next star of the Abu Dhabi showroom is the M Performance X7 M50i model. The luxury SAV is specced in a rather flat and uninspiring exterior color, which gets sparkled up by some additional BMW Individual options. The Alpine White is a nice color, also when you want to achieve a visible contrast like in this case. It is not the type of color I would go for, but even I have to admit that in this case, the final result looks quite remarkable. The Alpine White shade is very good at highlighting the key visual attributes of the X7 M50i (G07), like the Cerium Gr...

SPIED: BMW 7 Series seen with tweaked headlights for second facelift

SPIED: BMW 7 Series seen with tweaked headlights for second facelift When BMW first facelifted the G11 7 Series, its new design was controversial, to put it lightly. Its monstrous grilles seemed to polarize a lot of the fanbase. However, one of the better looking aspects of the fresh-faced 7 Series was its new headlight design. Turns out, BMW seemed to think it could improve on those headlights even further, as it’s just given the car another facial update, which was just caught testing in the wild. (We don’t own these photos but see them here) In some new spy photos, we get to see a new BMW 7 Series with some tweaks to its headlight design, as evidenced by the camouflage on them. While we don’t know exactly how these headlights will change, we do know that they will g...

BMW i3s wins Autocar’s “City Slicker” long-term award

BMW i3s wins Autocar’s “City Slicker” long-term award

BMW i3s wins Autocar’s “City Slicker” long-term award Few cars in the Bavarian lineup are criticized as heavily as the BMW i3. It’s lack of range compared to other EVs, high price tag and sparse equipment list make it an easy target for most enthusiasts. However, as an actual car to drive in cities and around town, it’s rather excellent. Don’t just take my word for it. Take it from the former home of James May — Autocar — who gave the i3S the “City Slicker” award. “Short overhangs, great forward visibility and a raised driving position make placing the i3s incredibly easy.” said Autocar Editor Tom Morgan. According to road tester Ricky Lane, the BMW i3 “goes like a whippet for gaps in traffic”. Not sure what that means bu...

BMW E-Power Roadster – Electric Bike Just As Fast As the S 1000 RR

BMW E-Power Roadster – Electric Bike Just As Fast As the S 1000 RR

BMW E-Power Roadster – Electric Bike Just As Fast As the S 1000 RR At a recent press event, BMW Motorrad introduced the BMW E-Power Roadster Prototype. The fancy name showcases an electric bike prototype which is in the early concept stages. The E-Power Roadster Concept uses some of the engineering elements of the Vision DC Roadster concept we saw last year, but it bears little resemblance to the DC. Instead, it gets its look from a combination of different BMW motorcycles. The front-end comes from an S 1000 R, while the rear drive is from an R1200RS. The frame has been custom-made, while the drivetrain comes from the car division. The battery pack was inherited from a 2 Series plug-in hybrid while the motor is from a China-only long wheelbase 7-series. The bike is a prototype, so...

BMW boss says no electric motorcycles for 5 years

BMW boss says no electric motorcycles for 5 years

BMW boss says no electric motorcycles for 5 years BMW unveiled their first electric motorcycle in June 2019. The Vision DC Roadster was the first of its kind from the BMW Motorrad brand and a bike that replaces the boxer engine with batteries and an electric motor. While the Vision DC Roadster lacks the old-school boxer engine, its electric powertrain echoes the past. The battery is vertically-fitted and longitudinally-oriented where the boxer engine would have been. Like the old boxer engine, two side elements with cooling ribs flank the battery to cool it down. It’s a nod to the old boxer’s cooling elements developed by Max Friz back in 1923. The cylindrical electric motor is located under the battery and sends power to the rear wheel via universal shaft. So it&...

VIDEO: Carwow checks out the G20-gen BMW 3 Series

VIDEO: Carwow checks out the G20-gen BMW 3 Series Between all of us here at BMWBLOG, we’ve driven just about every single iteration of the new G20-gen BMW 3 Series possible. For the most part, we’ve all been happy with the new 3er, with very, very few complaints. Almost every version of the new 3 Series is fantastic and we’re not the only ones that think so, as Carwow just named it the best family car of 2019. In this new video, though, Carwow’s Mat Watson takes us through the new 3er and explains why he likes it so much. The 3 Series in this video is a BMW 320d xDrive, probably the most common and family-oriented version of the car. Despite that, it’s still a fun and engaging car to drive and that’s what makes the new 3er so good. Not only is it prac...

Video: BMW M135i xDrive gets tested on the dyno

Video: BMW M135i xDrive gets tested on the dyno It has become an accepted practice in the automotive industry for certain car makers to underestimate the power output of their products. BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi are among the biggest offenders, but is it really a bad thing? This just allows people to brag about their car’s power output when talking to their friends. Furthermore, some would say the numbers aren’t off at all, but just that the dyno runs aren’t accurate. Be that as it may, it’s always interesting to see just how much power a car puts down in real life and not just abide by the numbers provided by the manufacturer. The guys from Evolve decided to take a brand new BMW M135i xDrive to the dyno to check out what’s really happening under the hood...
