NEW PHOTOS DEMONSTRATE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE BMW M2 AND M240i

This new BMW M2 is clearly based on the current 2 Series architecture, with the M240i serving as its closest sister. The actual M Division product, on the other hand, will be significantly different from its lower M Performance sister, at least in terms of design.

The world's first BMW i3 electric automobile has been sighted in Germany.

The BMW i3 as we know it recently went out of production, and despite the lack of a replacement, BMW is working on a new i3. And that's the BMW i3, a Chinese-market sedan that's simply a 3 Series facelift with an electric motor.

A new BMW M5 with hybrid power has been spotted in the wild.

The V8 dual electric motor plug-in hybrid powertrain slated for the XM SUV is expected to power BMW's next-generation M5. The super saloon will arrive in dealerships in 2024, a year after the ordinary eighth-generation 5 Series.

SPIED: A 2023 BMW X7 LCI with Split Headlights has been spotted.

This year, the BMW X7 will get some new styling cues from the next-generation 7 Series, which is also expected to launch this year. When it does, it'll take the 7er's new split-headlight design, which is sure to stir up some debate.

Drag Races

Tuned Toyota Supra Drag Races BMW M4 

Isn't it obvious that a drag race between a BMW M4 and a Toyota Supra isn't going to be fair? After all, we're discussing vehicles from various segments. It's especially true if the Bavarian sports coupe in question is the more powerful Competition type, as it is here.

In a titanic battle, the BMW M5 takes on the Mercedes-AMG E63.

We'd call having to choose between a BMW M5 and a Mercedes-AMG E63 a first-world problem. It's a "problem" we'd all like to deal with because neither super sedan is a bad choice.

In this RWD Showdown, a BMW M340i drag races a 2018 Camaro SS.

People tend to forget that pure rear-wheel drive is still available on this automobile because the all-wheel drive version is more popular and the sole option in many areas.

Joe Achilles revealed that he will trade in his BMW M3 Competition for an M3 Competition xDrive. However, the xDrive model won't be available for a few months, and he had to trade in his current M3, leaving him without a daily car.

BMW i4 vs Porsche Taycan: sporting EVs do battle 

The i4's unified nature is apparent from the minute you board. Because it's based on the same CLAR platform - an enviously good foundation for any sports saloon – and shares a lot of the same shell, it looks a lot like the 4 Series Gran Coupé.
