A legendary car that wrote history for BMW

It's nigh on perfect, isn't it? It's not a case of 'old car look nice because old,' more a case of 'old BMW look nice because clean race car.'It's a classic 320 Group 5 racer, presented at

“It looks and operates as you’d expect of a peak BMW.”

As if buying a German sports saloon wasn't already tricky enough. The BMW M5 and Mercedes E63 have reached some sort of 1,200hp dead heat, the Audi RS7 Sportback is all of a sudden good, and the AMG boys have

It can lap the Nürburgring as fast as a V8-engined E90 M3

Wow. Okay. This is a thing then, is it? BMW's M people have decided that what the X7 really needed was a sporty body kit and some gloss black trim, and the result is certainly rather striking.The X7 is mighty

European engineering at its finest

If you live on this side of the world like we do, then chances are you didn't make it to this year's Frankfurt Motor Show.Then again, that doesn't mean you have to miss out on all the action-

It might even be fully-electric

Good news! BMW's M Division is working on a standalone model. Potentially less good news! It won't be a full-strength hypercar halo like Mercedes-AMG's One, and it might even be electric."Standalone M cars are obviously something

It’s called the ‘M4 /// M Heritage Edition’

What's going on at BMW, exactly? The marque that gave the world the super-sedan has gone properly mad now. First the huge 'n' hideous grilles of the 7-Series and the X7, then the illuminated schnozz and Vantablack of that

A 616hp monster that can do 0-100kph in 3.2 seconds

BMW has been supplying safety cars to MotoGP for 20 years now, and its latest is this M8 Competition. It debuted at the weekend's race in Austria-where Andrea Dovizioso recorded a vital win to keep in touch with Marc Marquez

BMW has released M Performance parts for the new 3-Series Touring

In short, which car does its job better?

Earlier this week, the Zupra zaw off the BMW Z4. Apologies. That didn't surprise me. I suspect that BMW never realized it was in a deadly head-to-head with Toyota-The Germans were just going through the motions of creating

“It’s a point-to-point device”

If BMW is to be believed, this is basically the new M4 a year early-only a bit taller. The X4M was developed to behave like an 'M4 X,' we're told: a taller sports sedan instead of a faster crossover.Powering

A hardcore Bimmer

A very late arrival to a party BMW should have been hosting. Way back in 1998, the X5 was one of the very first schport-premium 4x4 SUVs on the scene. Then BMW saw the downsize trend coming way ahead of Mercedes

There’s even a machine-washable M Performance car cover

BMW doesn't pause for breath. Moment after the unveiling of its new M8 Competition comes the release of numerous aftermarket M Performance extras. And confirmation that the base M8 will have 592hp. Yeah, the M Division does strong base cars.Now,

It’s the M Division’s “first foray into the world of luxury motoring”

After what feels like a millions teasers, the BMW M8 is finally here. And it's arrived at once in full-strength Competition form, possessing a mighty 616hp and a frankly ludicrous 3.2sec 0-100kph time. Not to mention a 304kph

Yay or nay?

BMW has made a very lengthy, detailed announcement about its new setup and M Mode functions in its performance car range, debuting first in the M8 and M8 Competition.It's essentially a simpler offering than what M currently does in its

Fingers in ears, hardcore M fans: BMW has launched four go-faster baby SUVs

You may remember that 10 years ago that BMW put a thorn in the side of enthusiasts by slapping an M badge on the X5. Not only was it BMW M's first SUV, it was the first time it had played

Do you want a fast crossover?

Welcome, everyone, to inevitability. The BMW X3M and X4M.Yes, we're talking about proper M Division versions of BMW's X-branded cars. You knew it was coming, guys.So, you'll notice that they're both still "camouflaged", but no

Meet the Manhart MH5 700

If you think the latest, near-600hp BMW M5 seems a bit tame, then apparently-though surprisingly-you're not alone. This is the Manhart MH5 700, and as well as a bold carbon body kit, it's been turned well past

Meet the old M2's replacement

Meet the BMW M2 Competition. You can forget any notion of this being a desirable options pack-BMW describes it as a "complete reworking" of the standard M2, which the Competition replaces completely.It'd be very easy to argue the BMW
