Next year, the all-new 8 Series coupe will arrive. Based off the current 7 Series, it will be the first time in nearly two decades that a top-shelf model that wasn’t the 6 Series sat at the top of the BMW range. To prepare us for what it has on tap, the Bavarian automaker is showing off the Concept 8 Coupe.
The archetype for the Ultimate Driving Machine began over 40 years ago with the BMW 3 Series. Today, it remains a favorite, and one of the Bavarian automaker’s bestselling models. Prioritizing a sporty, engaged driving experience, luxury, and overall pleasure, it hits home runs regardless of body style or added options.
First impressions are key, and that’s why BMW hasn’t compromised any of its entry-level offerings. Those looking for a sporty coupe or convertible with more performance than the norm will love the new 2017 M240i. While it doesn’t reach the beast mode of the M2, it offers a great primer for BMW’s take on sport.
If you’re shopping luxury, you might be overwhelmed by all the options available on vehicles like the BMW X5. The best bet is to pick a body style and powertrain that gives you the right blend of performance and practicality. Since the X5 only comes in one body style—SUV—that leaves you to select which variant is right. According to AutoGuide, those looking for that balance will love the xDrive35i.

When luxury shoppers look for a used car, it’s usually either because they prefer a previous model year vehicle, or want a tried-and-true model. The more accessible pricing is just part of the benefit. To support these drivers, BMW offers a certified pre-owned program that’s quite a bit more extensive than competing automakers.
The BMW M2 is a relative newcomer to the stable of M performance models, and already, it’s made a name for itself. Of course, that’s no surprise. As an entry-level offering, it’s drawn comparisons to vehicles like the 2002 Turbo and 1M Coupe. Now that it’s been on the market for a while, we’re seeing more than ever that these parallels are accurate.
When people talk to us about electric vehicles (EVs), one common worry we hear focuses on range, and the worry that folks won’t have enough juice in the battery to make it from charge to charge. Well, with the 2017 BMW i3, you can put this range anxiety to rest. The 2017 i3 sees its range improved by a whopping 50% over the 2016 model year, and that translates into peace of mind for Des Moines, IA drivers who want to “go green” with their next new BMW purchase.
The 2016 M2 -- BMW's all-new sports coupe -- is a sneaky little devil. While its pocket-sized proportions seem to suggest one thing, its remarkable road manner says something very different:
Namely, that the M2 isn't messing around. Underestimate this diminutive dynamo and it'll leave you in the dust.
AutoGuide.com Features Editor Sami Haj-Assaad recently learned this firsthand. Thankfully for his sake, though, he was the one creating the dust -- not the one eating it. Take a look:
Equipped with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, the M2 turns out a tremendous ...
