BMW introduced the new X3 to the world's motoring press at an off road facility known as Painted Rock Farm a few days ago. The new X3 is considered an all-road, all-weather vehicle and what better way to determine whether or not it's still a BMW then to subject to twisty streets, gravel roads, and rutted tracks.
First impressions formed from the passenger seat on the drive from the Fulton County Airport to…
BMW announced that its 528i sedan will drop its current inline six-cylinder engine in favor of a twin-turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder for 2012.

Speaking of new model year.., the 2012 BMW F30 3-series Sedan has a very handsome and evolutionary design for the new model. The front appears sporty yet elegant and the headlights are sleeker and smaller compared to the F20 1-series. Also, the rear clearly shows a family resemblance to the F10 5-series, yet the rearlights are somewhat different at the outer edges to make for a unique look.
As expected,, the design of the new…
In less than two years, BMW will launch the next generation F32 3 Series Coupe. Built on the same platform as the F30 2012 BMW 3 Series sedan that launches next year, the F32 3 Series Coupe will continue to differentiate itself through the exterior design.
What is going to seperate the Coupe further from the sedan will be the inclusion of different shapes for the headlights and rear lights, and different sculpture for the…

When BMW brought out the new, folding-hardtop Z4 and said they were canning the whole Z4 M thing, I'd have to say I was a little bummed. I mean, the available N54 motor out of the 335i (3.0L 24v I6, direct injection, twin-sequential turbocharging, 306bhp) was a fantastic engine, and the whole thing was a lot prettier and significantly more refined that the rather unpleasant previous Z4. But no hardcore M version? I…

BMW is substituting its much loved two turbochargers with a single TwinPower turbocharger on some engines, A single turbocharger with two scrolls…
