BMW calls it a 4 + 1-seater
Puh-lease. In BMW language, a GC is a four-door coupe-ish thing-in this case, a version of the ritzy 8-Series Coupe, with added doors. It's not just some lazy stretch job. Every exterior panel is different aft

BMW has released M Performance parts for the new 3-Series Touring
Always dreamed of a BMW M3 Touring? So have we. At least every other night. There have been prototypes, unofficial renders...even a blooming M3 pickup. But not a proper Touring.While we continue to wait, BMW is teasing us of what
“It’s a point-to-point device”

It’s a ‘good-looking BMW’
We've always wondered about the new 8 Series. Not special enough. Nor charismatic to be a range-topper. Is this new Gran Coupe the big BMW's sweet spot? Certainly looks sweet, in any case.Welcome then, to the brand new

What exactly is a BMW M850i xDrive?A monster. A big, brash, flashy coupe booted up the road by a 4.4-liter V8 mated to a pair of turbos. A 1,965kg multiplex of screens, speakers, and leather chairs, that just

Torque is also up from from 749Nm to 869Nm
BMW has never made a production M8 before-not even when the 8-Series had proper, sports car-spec pop-up headlights - so you can forgive us for being a wee bit impatient for the new one's arrival.Solace has arrived
It looks great on its production line, doesn’t it?
BMW's design has ruffled a few feathers lately. The latest Z4 and 3-Series have certainly split opinion, though our eyes reckon the 8-Series is a bit more successful.A lot more successful if these new pictures are anything to
This is how we dream of going topless
Like for like, here is a twin-turbo, convertible V8 BMW that's over 100kg heavier and two-tenths slower to 100kph than its equivalent twin-turbo, coupe V8 BMW.So, welcome everyone, to the inevitable: The new BMW 8-Series Convertible,

The new BMW 8-Series is here
Broadly, the 8-Series replaces the 6-Series. But it gets a new number because it's grander than that. Also, the number 6 now resides on the rump of a big, practical hatchback, the 6-Series Gran Turismo.Really, though, in

Is this the future of luxury performance?
It's called the BMW Concept M8 Gran Coupe, which is a bit of a mouthful, and also sounds a bit like something an imaginary two-door grandmother might drive. But despite the weird images it conjours in your head, what we

It promises to be spectacular
In 1991, BMW's M Division partnered up with BMW Technik to work on a very, very hush-hush project; a project only known about by a few, and kept secret for years. An 'M8.'It packed a 550hp V12 with much
