2013 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive review

We all could agree that the B7 is a rocket
The latest 7-Series is really special. Decent chassis and a great lineup of engines make the 7 a blast to hustle and a joy to cruise the freeway in. With the Alpina B7, you just turn that up a notch or two.

The interior is a little showier, the exterior styling is a touch more flamboyant and -- at least in our case -- you get purple-ish paint. That's hilarious, because with 540-hp and almost as many torques, this thing will generate enough forward momentum to force slower traffic into the right lane as if by magnetic force -- and then you've got this massive purple thing just screaming by people, at the state-mandated maximum speed, of course. For other drivers, it must be like suddenly catching sight of a purple train (see what I did there?) rolling up in the left lane.

BMW i3 drive review


We were surprised and impressed with the i3's pure agility thanks to its low weight


First previewed as a concept in 2011, the advanced electric-powered BMW i3 is the BMW i brand's first model. The contemporary four-seat hatch has progressed to the pre-production stage with North American sales set for March 2014.

2013 BMW 328i Sedan review

Opportunities to drive the BMW 3-series come all too seldom. Here's your benchmark that the Mercedes-Benz C-class, Audi A4 and Infiniti G37 are chasing. And now you got to throw the Cadillac ATS in there as well because it's that good, too.

It's tempting to write off 3-series drivers as tools, sort of like Porsche drivers. Smug, too-good-for-you types who think they're just so above it all.

Overall, we can agree that the BMW has great chassis tuning and dynamics
This particular 2012 BMW 328i sedan: there's a lot to like here, a reminder that sometimes all you need at the end of a day is a car that drives well. It looks good, too, with longer dimensions but still small-car elegance and simplicity.

2012 BMW M5 Review

The first in the breed of BMW to avoid a very high strung engine that is naturally-aspirated for a powerplant that is turbocharged and torque-led is the 5th generation M5; a significant change in BMW’s past philosophy.
The 2012 BMW M5 is scheduled to be on sale all over North America in 2012 August. It is based on the newest 5 series. Do not make the mistake of thinking that the modern 4-door performance vehicle as a slightly made-over version of the midrange series of BMW. Siegfried Friedmann, the project leader reported that the latest M5 have about 20% of the components that the 5-series have. The other 80% is reported to be distinctive.

2013 BMW X6 Review

Today the BMW X6 is an odd item in the automotive world; even though it was initially loathed as an outrageously mashing SUV and coupe joined in an unaccepted union. It was gradually regarded as a relatively sporty and useful (though maybe still unsightly) vehicle. It is a unique kind of vehicle. The newest information and images has been released by BMW of the lately-updated Sports Activity 2013 BMW X6 Coupe which is scheduled to arrive sometime in spring of this year.

There are some facelift changes of the recent BMW X6 front fascia. The usual fog lights now are placed in matt-finish in the top part of the outside air inlets. The car maker described the frame’s prominent three-dimensional modelling and recently-designed bars that are sloped in the lower area as making the kidney grille of the BWM to stand out.
As a substitute to the regular Xenon headlights, the 2013 BMW X6 is the earliest vehicle in its class to be accessible with LED adaptive lights. Also, with the lately-designed LED-technology taillights, the 2013 BMW X6 back section display more forceful styling.

2013 BMW X6 M Review

BMW, a well-known German automotive company recently introduced the 2013 BMW X6 M, a car that many describe as a Sports Activity Coupe. This new version is available with a few obvious and accepted changes like the latest and inventive interior and exterior appearance of the otherwise conventional vehicle. Clear and detailed images and a video of this car are released on BMW’s website. The original look of the BMW X M has added some tweaks to the LED lights as well as grille. The new model’s front end remains hard and firm but a gap hole is now available on the front end beneath the grille for better performance. Even though all the details and modifications are not yet available to the US market, the 2013 BMW X6 M is expected to have some of the same interior display as the latest X6 standard of BMW.
