 BMW makes a Christmas card the M way |
|
Dec 21, 2011 - 6:18 PM - by BMW Forums

Filed under: Sedan, Performance, Etc., Videos, BMW
'Tis the season for Christmas cards. Standing in the aisles at Hallmark or the local grocery store, spending endless hours searching for just the right bifold slip of paper to express your own vision of the Christmas Spirit for your significant other, your mom, your dad, your brothers and sisters, grandparents and that irritating guy from accounting. And then spending a ludicrous amount on the dozen cards you've collected at the checkout lane while not being completely happy with any of them. You know the drill...
There must be a better way.
May we humbly suggest you try your hand at making a personalized card at home? It doesn't have to be complicated... it's the thought that counts, remember? And no matter how bad you are at drawing or expressing your innermost feelings, it's got to... [Read More]

Remember the BMW supercar that M Division wanted to build? Not gonna happen |
|
Dec 20, 2011 - 4:36 PM - by BMW Forums

Filed under: Coupe, Performance, BMW, Luxury
For at least two years, BMW has been teasing the idea of making a supercar, the kind that would glare with laser headlights at the Audi R8 and say, "Yeah, I'm lookin' at you." Way back in early 2008, the car was rumored to be a twin-turbo V10 with 625 horsepower. A year later, it was going to be the gentler, greener two-seat Z10 ED with a twin-turbo six cylinder and 400 hp. A year later still, the 1.5-liter, three-cylinder, hybrid i8 inherited the green...

Vicki from Fifth Gear wrings out BMW's new M5 |
|
Dec 19, 2011 - 8:11 PM - by BMW Forums
|
Filed under: Sedan, Performance, Videos, BMW, Luxury
Vicki Butler-Henderson of Fifth Gear has taken the 2012 BMW M5 into her deft hands and massaged it oh-so-gently through the corners and curbing of southern France. All right, quite the opposite of "gently," instead preferring to put a billowing white chokehold on every single one of the M5's 560 horsepower and 502 pound-feet.
Check out the video after the jump for VBH's detailed take - and plenty of powerslides. Her conclusion? Much the same as ours - BMW's new super saloon is... [Read More]

2012 BMW M5 takes on S 1000 RR motorbike at Cadwell Park |
|
Dec 16, 2011 - 7:17 PM - by BMW Forums

Filed under: Motorsports, Sedan, Performance, Videos, BMW, Motorcycle, UK
Once again, the car versus bike conundrum takes to the track, this time at the behest of the blokes from Auto Express in the UK. BMW is an obvious choice when it comes time to single out a manufacturer, as it offers machines at the pinnacle of performance on both two wheels and four.
And so we have the S 1000 RR up against the 2012 M5, lapping the famous Cadwell Park in Lincolnshire, England. With 560 horsepower from its 4.4-liter... [Read More]

BMW 4 Series Convertible spotted testing |
|
Dec 15, 2011 - 6:10 PM - by BMW Forums
|
Filed under: Spy Photos, Convertible, BMW
We'll admit, it feels like a typo whenever we write "4 Series," but if BMW is as insistent upon further breaking out its coupes and convertibles from its sedan ranges as we've been hearing, we'll just have to get used to it. The BMW 4 Series is expected to officially kick off when the two-door versions of the new 3 Series are launched, and our spies recently caught a prototype of the new droptop 4 testing in the rain.
There's still lots of cladding under all that swirly paper, but we expect the 4er Convertible's design to mimic that of the new 3 Series, complete with the more squared off headlamps that pinch in toward the dual-kidney grille. Like the outgoing droptop, the 4 Series cabriolet will use... [Read More]

2012 BMW M5 irks Welsh seagulls with a romp in the sand |

There are many number of ways you can support your country's athletes heading into the Olympics. You could watch them on television. You could follow them to the site and get tickets for your favorite events. You could buy and wear some official team apparel. But if you're BMW, none of that will do. No, you're going to do some hooning. Something that involves, say, pulling donuts on the beach in a twin-turbo super-sedan.
That's just what the Bavarian automaker, which acts as official automotive partner (read: car sponsor) for the 2012 Olympic Games in London, has done to promote its participation and support the athletes. Which is fine by us, because it gives us the opportunity to watch... a twin-turbo... [Read More]

Pics Aplenty: 2013 BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe [w/video and poll] |
|
Dec 12, 2011 - 5:49 PM - by BMW Forums
|
Filed under: Sedan, Performance, Videos, BMW, Design/Style, Luxury
We got our first taste of the 2013 6 Series Gran Coupe this weekend, but BMW has since released over 100 new photos of the car, plus some video. We've got all the images right here in one monstrous gallery, which also includes some behind-the-scenes shots of the car during development. (Yes, we love seeing BMW stylists' sculpting clay.)
The video is ... [Read More]

General Motors, BMW to shack up on fuel cell development |
|
Dec 12, 2011 - 2:57 PM - by BMW Forums
|
Filed under: Etc., Plants/Manufacturing, Technology, BMW, GM
Reuters reports that General Motors and BMW are headed toward a partnership that may see the two automakers join forces on the creation of a fuel cell system. German business magazine Wirtschafts Woche has cited unnamed industry sources as saying talks between the companies are already quite advanced, and that the duo may formalize the agreement soon.
GM has already established itself as an industry authority on fuel cell vehicles, and BMW is likely hoping to leverage some of that knowledge into its own products. GM has refused... [Read More]
