Scratch one of our big concerns about the upcoming BMW 8 Series: this video of the upcoming GT coupe proves it'll have the right soundtrack. BMW has been testing the new grand tourer out in Wales, and that makes for some excellent scenery against which to enjoy the camouflaged car's raucous exhaust note.
One of the technologies that many are waiting for that has the potential to make owning an EV much more convenient is wireless charging. As it stands now, EV owners must use cords to charge the vehicles. BMW has wireless charging tech that is said to be available soon. How soon? How about July 2018.
BMW has unveiled the all-new 2019 M5 Competition sedan. The big beast of a car will start production in July and will carry a starting MSRP of $110,995 including destination. BMW has fitted the M5 Competition with a TwinPower Turbo engine that offers 617 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque.
We were already excited at the prospect of the 2019 BMW M2 Competition; now, consider us positively giddy. BMW has announced a batch of official M Performance Parts for the new sports coupe, giving it a race-inspired makeover both inside and out, not to mention helping you be a better driver.
BMW's new 8 Series Coupe is shaping up to be the company's most exciting car in years, at least if the latest details on the BMW M850i xDrive Coupe are anything to go by. The two-door - a production version of the Concept 8 Series BMW revealed last year - won't go into production until later this year, but the automaker's testing is well underway.
BMW teased the iX3 electric SUV concept a few days back and promised the car would be unveiled at Auto China 2018. The official unveiling is today and we have several images of the concept vehicle to gander at and it looks very good. This is the first BMW EV sports activity vehicle or SAV as the automaker likes to call its cars, but we know an SUV when we see it.
Like any other automakers, BMW is pushing hard on the electrification front and has several new EVs coming to market. One of those EVs will be the BMW iX3 SUV, a vehicle we have heard about before. We don't know much about the iX3 right now other than it will be an SUV and based on the X3 SUV presumably.
If the BMW M2 wasn't quite punchy enough for you, never fear: it's spawned a new, more powerful version, the 2019 BMW M2 Competition. Replacing the old M2 Coupe, the new car gets an M TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder in-line engine, based on what's under the hood of the not-to-be-underestimated M3 and M4.
Android Auto Wireless may now be arriving on select phones and head-units, but iPhone owners wanting wireless CarPlay don't have to wait - it's available now. While there's plenty to like about the 2018 BMW 640i xDrive Gran Turismo, not least its 3.0-liter, 335 horsepower engine, I had one particular spec in mind for testing. With iPhone X supporting wireless charging, and CarPlay wireless available in a growing number of vehicles, is it worth spending more on the option if you're buying a new car?
BMW has launched a subscription car service, Access by BMW, offering drivers the keys to a variety of vehicles for a single monthly payment. The scheme will be piloted in Nashville, TN, and allow subscribers to switch between vehicles as often as they like.
BMW has hardly been idle of late, with no shortage of new models arriving on dealership lots, and plenty more still in the pipeline. What better way, therefore, than to show off the riches of the latest range - not to mention tease a few tidbits still to come - than heading down to beautiful Palm Springs, California, and the BMW Performance Center West. It promised to be a jam-packed day, with the keys to the all-new X2, M5, M4 CS, and seventeen other vehicles up for grabs.
Among the shiny new cars, crossovers, and SUVs of the New York International Auto Show this week, enthusiasm for subscription ownership is quietly growing. The smartphone-style model - where, rather than a lease or finance purchase, drivers pay a single fee each month that includes the car, its insurance, servicing, and other common costs - is slowly gaining traction, as unexpectedly good news from Volvo confirmed. In this brave new world of alternative ownership, though, there's still plenty of room to differentiate yourself and your offer.
