It’s back to basics for BMW
Based on teasers and spy photos
During the new iX3's world premiere, BMW teased its upcoming i3 sedan in camo. As expected, these are the production versions of the Vision Neue Klasse X and the Vision Neue Klasse Sedan. Based on the teasers and spy photos, this
We’ll see it without camo next year
After what feels like years of concepts, teaser images, and infotainment walkthroughs, BMW has finally unveiled its first Neue Klasse car, the all-new BMW iX3. You can read all about that (and its 800km of all-electric range) by clicking these

Doing its part in saving the wagons
While popular in Europe, station wagons are more a niche model than go-to buy in the Philippines. Blame it on constant flooding and bad roads, but these cars generally don't have a wide audience here. You can also blame it
Old-school soul meets new tech
Meet eBay Motors UK's latest project: a 137,000 km E46 BMW 3-Series with a twist. More specifically, it's a 330Ci that's been revamped with various technologies sourced from its marketplace. That includes an Xtrons phone mirroring unit,
Cheers to the car that made BMW
Sometimes, it only takes a single car to define a brand. For BMW, it's safe to say that it's the 3-Series. While it isn't the first sport sedan even within the brand's ranks, it remains the benchmark
Catch BMW PH’s Festival of Deals event at C1 Park, BGC, on May 16
The summer of 2025 could be the year you score your ultimate driving machine. BMW Philippines has kicked off its Festival of Deals, with several discounts on a number of its most popular models.The discounts will run all month long, closing
It would be great to see these in PH
Are plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) the ideal electrified vehicle for the Philippines? Given our limited (but expanding) charging infrastructure in the country, that might be the case. But whatever your stand on it is, there's no denying that more automakers are
Will it be called Neue Klasse i3 or just i3?
These are the first images of the BMW 'Neue Klasse' sedan from some cold-weather testing. Clean, fresh and, well, cold, it's pretty close to the original concepts we were shown last Autumn.This is going to be the future of

We do actual wagon stuff with one to find out
I'm probably in a minority here, but I'd like to avoid going straight for an SUV when it comes to choosing a family car. Perhaps it's because I'm a bit of a traditionalist. If all you need is
It’s the second update for the current model
It's rare for BMW to give a model a second facelift, but that's exactly what's happened in the current-generation 3-Series. Launched in Germany in mid-2024, it has been available to consumers in Germany, North America, and
Still the segment's benchmark?
Some cars simply define their segment. Say compact sedan, and you think Civic. Say SUV and the Fortuner comes first to mind. And when it comes to sporty luxury sedans, the default answer remains to be the BMW 3-Series.It doesn'
It's a facelift of the facelifted model
Modern BMW model cycles are rather easy to predict. A single generation would typically last seven years with a facelift coming in either the third or fourth model year. It's practically been that way for over a decade.But for the
Can you name them all?
We're probably stating the obvious here, but SUVs and crossovers practically killed several vehicle segments. Call these vehicles revolutionary products or marketing brilliance, the extra ground clearance, the promise of practicality, and the idea of making adventures with them has had
What a fun wagon
Five-door cars can be a bit polarizing. Some people prefer the traditional sedan, while others simply prefer a hatch or a wagon. I fall under the latter.But regardless of whether you like five-doors or not, you've got to
There’s a lot of reasons to like it
The BMW 330e is a car that's alien to most Filipino consumers. So, when we had the chance to take one out for a spin in our recent trip to Buriram, Thailand, we were genuinely curious about it. After all, it
Perfection? Almost
Smitten.It's how I feel about the BMW M340i xDrive after driving it at the Chang Circuit in Buriram, Thailand. It's not just because I grew up loving BMWs, but rather, I was amazed at its breadth of talent. I'
It’s a limited-run, one-year only model
Even though the Philippines is far from the biggest market of the BMW M division, it's great to see that the local distributors give us some of the hottest M cars around. On the same day the all-new 420i Gran
It’s called the 318i Business
About a month ago, we got behind the wheel of the BMW 318i Sport. At the time, we said it's still a wonderful sedan to drive despite being more like a 5 Series in its current iteration. The Sport, essentially the
Still a good drive, but...
I'll start things off with a bit of a confession: I'm a fan of BMWs. As far back as I can remember, I've always had a soft spot for the Bavarians. Getting up close to a Boston Green Metallic
