2019 LA Auto Show: 2020 Audi S8 — BMW M760i Competitor

2019 LA Auto Show: 2020 Audi S8 — BMW M760i Competitor

2019 LA Auto Show: 2020 Audi S8 — BMW M760i Competitor It seems like all cars in this uber-high-performance luxury car segment are just becoming gigantic, squishy, straight-line bullet trains. They’re all astonishingly quick but lack the sort of grace that used to make cars like the E38 BMW 7 Series and D2-generation Audi A8 so wonderful to drive. The all-new Audi S8 seems as if it wants to change all of that, though, and it just debuted in North America at the 2019 LA Auto Show. The BMW M760Li is a good example of these cars becoming faster but less interesting to drive. Its monster V12 is incredibly powerful and makes the car very fast in a straight line. But its squishy suspension and asteroid-like curb weight push it further from the legendary E38-generation than ever before. The sa...

2019 LA Auto Show: Porsche Taycan — A Living Legend in the Flesh

2019 LA Auto Show: Porsche Taycan — A Living Legend in the Flesh

2019 LA Auto Show: Porsche Taycan — A Living Legend in the Flesh Arguably the most important car to debut at the 2019 LA Auto Show was the new Porsche Taycan 4S. We’ve all see the new Taycan Turbo and Turbo S models, with their blistering, mind-boggling performance. However, both of those cars wear supercar price tags. Which is what makes the Taycan 4S, with its more reasonable (relatively) price tag very interesting. The new Porsche Taycan 4S might not be as exciting or as brutally fast as the Turbo or Turbo S models but it’s the more important car because it’s the one that’s priced similarly to the 911. So it has a real chance to cannibalize 911 sales, as traditional customers might want to get into something new and interesting. For $103,800 to start, the Porsche Taycan 4S uses two...

2019 LA Auto Show: Ford Mustang Mach-E — An Electric Mustang SUV?

2019 LA Auto Show: Ford Mustang Mach-E — An Electric Mustang SUV?

2019 LA Auto Show: Ford Mustang Mach-E — An Electric Mustang SUV? Quite possibly the most interesting car at the 2019 LA Auto Show, the new Ford Mustang Mach-E is also one of the important cars here at the show. The all-new Mustang Mach-E shares virtually nothing of importance with the standard Mustang and is, instead, an all-electric crossover with some Mustang bits slapped on it. Yet, despite that oddity, it seems like a very good car. Let’s address the elephant in the room first, though: the name. The new Ford Mustang Mach-E would have far more widely accepted if it weren’t named after one of the most iconic cars of all time. Turning the Mustang into an electric crossover not only seems like a bad idea on paper but it also might be a slippery slope. Now that Ford is comfortable slapp...

Photo Comparison: BMW X5 M meets the new archrival Mercedes-AMG GLE 63

Photo Comparison: BMW X5 M meets the new archrival Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 The rivalry between BMW and Mercedes is about to get really intense, as the new Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 high-performance SUV enters the stage to battle with the BMW X5 M. BMW M and Mercedes-AMG have always been fierce competitors, with each of the divisions embracing a different philosophy on how to build a proper, premium high-performance car. While the Affalterbach-based opponent diluted in brand essence when it embarked on a journey to cover almost every market niche, the rival from Garching has approached a slightly more exclusivist path, with only some BMW models considered worthy enough to receive the performance treatment. With the occasion of the Los Angeles Auto Show, Mercedes-AMG premiered its all new GLE 63 l...

2020 Aston Martin DBX – interior Exterior and Drive (Perfect SUV)

http://youtu.be/5Pc5V63jA5w Utilising bonded aluminium, a construction method Aston Martin has refined through the development of its sports cars, the body structure is both very light and incredibly stiff, assisting in the delivery of an overall kerbweight of 2,245kg. Right from its genesis, it was designed to allow maximum room in the cabin, putting a premium on refinement and class leading spaciousness for both front and rear occupants. Meanwhile, the exceptional stiffness inherent in the design of the new platform has also enabled DBX to achieve exceptional dynamics both on and off-road. Adaptive triple volume air suspension has been combined with the latest 48v electric anti-roll control system (eARC) and electronic adaptive dampers to provide the new SUV with a huge breadth of abi...

2019 LA Auto Show: BMW X6 M Competition looks stunning

2019 LA Auto Show: BMW X6 M Competition looks stunning

2019 LA Auto Show: BMW X6 M Competition looks stunning The twins were out in LA this week. First, we met the BMW X5 M and it’s now the time to welcome the all-new BMW X6 M Competition. Both M SUVs took the front stage at the M stand in Los Angeles giving us a closer look at their bold, massive and sporty design. This is the first time the BMW X6 M is offered in Competition guise. The two previous generations were only offered in one flavor and that seemed to work out fine for the car so far. Up front, the BMW X6 M gets a more aggressive front bumper, with larger air intakes, and black accents on the Competition model. It also gets a rear roof spoiler in addition to a small decklid spoiler beneath it. There’s an interesting new rear bumper that houses quad exhaust pipes, the latter of w...

2019 LA Auto Show: BMW M2 CS — Live in the Flesh

2019 LA Auto Show: BMW M2 CS — Live in the Flesh Let’s face it, this is the car all of you have been waiting to see from the 2019 LA Auto Show. The BMW M2 CS is the hottest enthusiast car to come from Bavaria at the moment and it’s a car that enthusiasts have been waiting on for years. In fact, ever since the original BMW M2 launched, fans have been hoping for an M2 CS, something more hardcore than the standard model. Well, here it is. In person, it has some real menace. To be honest, I was personally a bit underwhelmed when I saw it in photos, upon its official reveal. Only because I felt that it wasn’t so much different from what a standard M2 Competition could look like with some M Performance add-ons. And while that’s still sort of true, there’s no denying its presence in the flesh...

2019 LA Auto Show: Audi e-tron Sportback — Electric BMW X4 Competitor

2019 LA Auto Show: Audi e-tron Sportback — Electric BMW X4 Competitor

2019 LA Auto Show: Audi e-tron Sportback — Electric BMW X4 Competitor BMW used to have a monopoly on SUV “Coupes” but now several brands make their own. Taking it one step further is Audi, who has not only debuted a new coupe-like crossover at the LA Auto Show but it’s all-electric. The all-new Audi e-tron Sportback is a sportier looking version of the current e-tron SUV. While it’s essentially the same underneath the skin, it’s more stylish and exciting looking. From what we’re seeing here in LA, it looks surprisingly good. The fact that the Audi e-tron Sportback is essentially the same as the standard e-tron SUV, mechanically, is actually a good thing. We’ve driven the new Audi e-tron and it’s a great electric luxury car. It’s not perfect and it’s not going to light anyone’s hair on f...

Video: 900 HP BMW E36 325i does 176 mph in 1/2 mile

Video: 900 HP BMW E36 325i does 176 mph in 1/2 mile The tuning potential of BMW cars is one of the reasons why people love them to death, including the E36 generation. That potential has been present in all generations made so far and can still be found on certain models. Take the current Supra, for example. It has incredible tuning potential and some people are already talking about taking them to 1,000 HP. In the video below, we have a rather older model on display but with a similar power output. According to the description, this is a heavily modified BMW E36 325i. Thus, this is not an M model but it does come, stock, with a 6-cylinder engine. This particular model was modified by tuner Boostmode from Germany, a company specialized in forced induction monsters such as this one. Acco...

Here is a video explaining the BMW fifth generation electric drivetrain

Guide: BMW Engine Codes Naming Convention

Guide: BMW Engine Codes Naming Convention

Guide: BMW Engine Codes Naming Convention For decades, BMW has used a unique naming convention for their BMW engines, which can be quite confusing to non-BMW insiders. BMW labels codes their engines under the B, M, N, P or S. In the past, the BMW Engine Codes Naming Convention was certainly simpler than it is today. The M10 was reserved for the four-cylinder unit, the M20 for a low-powered six-cylinder and M30 for high-powered straight sixes. But over the years, their fleet has expanded, as well as the engine offerings. Yet, some things remained consistent. The M Division labels their engines under the “S” code, while standard engines are categorized under the “M”, “N”, or “B” code. The Motorsport Racing division develops their units under the “P” code. Today, typical BMW engine codes ...

SPIED: BMW testing what appears to be an early i7 electric prototype

SPIED: BMW testing what appears to be an early i7 electric prototype Spy photographers have recently managed to scoop what appears to be an early test prototype of the future, yet to be official confirmed, i7 electric luxury sedan. BMW is accelerating the development pace for its forthcoming range of fully electric vehicles. The new iX3 SAV is expected sometime next year, while the i4 and iNEXT (to possibly be called iX) are lining up for a 2021 reveal. Recently, rumors regarding a possible i7 electric luxo-barge emerged. The rumors look to be confirmed by the latest scoop of spy photographers, which managed to grab some shots of what looks to be a an initial test mule for the upcoming i7 model (you can see the spy pics here).

TEST DRIVE: BMW 3 Series Touring (G21) – The perfect everyday companion

TEST DRIVE: BMW 3 Series Touring (G21) – The perfect everyday companion

TEST DRIVE: BMW 3 Series Touring (G21) – The perfect everyday companion This weekend, I got behind the wheel of the new BMW 3 Series Touring (G21). The iconic wagon of our beloved Bavarian brand just had its premiere on the Romanian market. I was lucky to be among the first to drive the new model. Over three days, I got the chance to closely examine a spectacular 320d xDrive Touring M Sport. Having driven the old F30/F31 generation, this new G21 3 Series Touring is a complete departure from it in every aspect. It is a fundamentally different car, even though it shares the same title as its ancestor. The previous generation was a good car overall, but some aspects were overlooked, such as the numb feel of the chassis and some quality issues in the cabin. But now, the new mid-class wagon...

Augusto Farfus finishes fourth in the BMW M6 GT3 in Macau GT race

Augusto Farfus finishes fourth in the BMW M6 GT3 in Macau GT race

Augusto Farfus finishes fourth in the BMW M6 GT3 in Macau GT race The FIA GT World Cup race in Macau this Sunday featured some BMW cars as well. The BMW M6 GT3 was present with Augusto Farfus and Joel Eriksson behind the wheel, the former failing to repeat last year’s performance when he crossed the finish line first. The Brazilian pilot was still the best-positioned BMW driver but this time on fourth place. Joel Eriksson came in seventh in his FIST-Team AAI number 91 car. Farfus had qualified for the Sunday race fourth on the starting grid. Starting from that position, he immediately set about trying to climb a few spots. At the re-start following a safety car period, caused by a crash involving Porsche driver Kevin Estre, he and overtook Earl Bamber from Porsche. The New Zealander too...

Confirmed: BMW i4 with 600 km range and 530 horsepower

Confirmed: BMW i4 with 600 km range and 530 horsepower Not long ago we reported that the upcoming BMW i4 might have an electric range of 600 km (373 miles) and 390 kW / 530 horsepower. That rumor was confirmed today by the Germans themselves. The company issued a press release with a couple more specs of the upcoming BEV raising the hype around the BMW i4 even more. There were even more interesting tidbits to be picked out from the release as well, mentions of the upcoming 4 Series and 3 Series models. According to BMW, the upcoming BMW i4 is built atop the same platform as the 3 Series, 4 Series Coupe, 4 Series Convertible and 4 Series Gran Coupe models. This could very well be used as a confirmation of the fact that the 4 Series Gran Coupe will live on for another generation. The i4 w...

TEST DRIVE: BMW M850i Gran Coupe — Four is Better Than Two

TEST DRIVE: BMW M850i Gran Coupe — Four is Better Than Two

TEST DRIVE: BMW M850i Gran Coupe — Four is Better Than Two For proper grand touring, you want something that’s capable of eating hundreds of miles in a single jaunt and do so in style, comfort and speed. The typical example of automotive grand touring consists of driving through Europe in a long, two-door performance machine that’s equal parts sporty and luxurious. There are a few cars that give that typical GT example a twist, some working out better than others. What if, though, you take an already excellent GT and give it some more practicality? That’s exactly what BMW did with the M850i Gran Coupe. The standard BMW M850i is an already excellent GT. It’s brutally fast, effortlessly comfortable and stylish. Adding two more doors and some added practicality doesn’t seem like it would a...

What’s included in the BMW Warranty from the factory in 2019

What’s included in the BMW Warranty from the factory in 2019 The BMW Warranty from the factory has always been regarded as one of the best in the industry.

Ford Mustang Mach-E joins the electric SUV segment

Ford Mustang Mach-E joins the electric SUV segment An unfortunate leak has given us an early view of one of LA Auto Show’s big reveals – The Ford Mustang Mach-E. According to Jalopnik, the new electric crossover was bound to be unveiled on November 17th, but a web development error allowed for some images and info to be scooped up ahead of time.

VIDEO REVIEW: BMW Z4 M40i — The Sport BMW Roadster is Back!

VIDEO REVIEW: BMW Z4 M40i — The Sport BMW Roadster is Back!

VIDEO REVIEW: BMW Z4 M40i — The Sport BMW Roadster is Back! After a week long of test driving, we’re now ready to give our video review of the BMW Z4 M40i Roadster. The written review was published a while back, and you can catch it here. Before we let you jump into the video, lets do a quick recap of the car tested as well as of the driving impressions. Powering the BMW Z4 M40i is a 3.0 liter turbocharged inline-six engine making 382 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque and I can honestly think of no better engine for it. In a car as small and light as the Z4, the B58 engine turns it into a hot-road. All of its torque comes on like a sledgehammer, from low in the rev range all the way until its peak horsepower kicks in at the top half of the tach. From there, it keeps pulling and the BMW Z4 M40i...
