Hello overhang. That was my first thought upon opening up the first photo release of the new 2 Series Active Tourer. Then there’s that belt-line making even the optional 18” wheels look tiny. Even thought they share the same platform, clearly BMW went in...

Like the swine flu of a few years ago there appears to be a new epidemic impacting the US, at least that is what the media seems to be pushing. This affliction is not passed person to person or animal to animal. It only occurs in electric vehicles and the...

First off, the BMW i3 takes some getting used to. It's a new shape, new controls and new touch-points. Yet the first impression (especially once you step inside) is one of progress.

BMW’s foray into electric vehicles began in the early ’70s. Since then, the company has dabbled in electric powered vehicles in proof-of-concept form for motor shows and even internal engineering studies. However it wasn’t until the...

Change is something that often takes us by surprise, it is something that many have difficulty with as to put it plainly- we are creatures of habit. In the not so distant future BMW fans will be given a significant dose of change as BMW is once again...

Part of the perks of moving to Germany is the ability to sample the fruits of European only offerings from BMW- The all new 1 series being one of them. In all honesty it was a huge toss up between the F30 3er and the One when it came to the purchase but...

From friends to auto writers the E39 M5 has long been held up as the perfect sports sedan. With BMW sizing up the 3 and the 5 we thought we ‘d take a look at why this 10+ year old car continues to fascinate so many of us. Perhaps the quickest way to sum...

The Z4 has always been a favorite of our at BF. And yet it ‘s also been a bit of a disappointment. The look of the thing, inside and out, is nothing less than stunning from many angles. The proportions and the stance are simply bang on for a modern...
