BMW 4 Series Concept Video

As always the best way to get a feel for a new concept isn\'t through photography but video. And along with the 50+ images that BMW dropped today we also have our first look at the 4 Series in this six minute video walk-through.

BF Analysis & Full Gallery: BMW 4 Series Coupe

As much as BMW\'s design language is lead by the 6 and 7 Series, it\'s typically the 3 Series that is the best resolved aesthetically. The front-end is a particularly well articulated version of BMW\'s recent form language. Then there\'s the mantra that every 3 Series Coupe has followed; lower, wider and sleeker. The 4 Series takes this even further with 5 cm more length, 1.6 cm less height and 4.4 cm more width. It\'s almost enough to move it out of the sports sedan category and into the GT class.

World Premier: BMW 4 Series Concept

Ladies and gentlemen, the curtain has dropped. This is the new BMW 4 Series. Take away the wicker cup holders and quarter inch think leather and you have what will be on dealer lots late next year. The 4 Series picks up from where the E92 3 Series left off. Lower, wider, sleeker and more sophisticated in every succeeding generation, the 3 Series Coupe has increasingly gone further upmarket. With renaming the car the 4 Series BMW is further signaling that this is a car isn\'t just a two door 3 Series.

BMWNA November Sales up 45% for Best Month Ever

BMWNA had us worried. While the race for 2012 against Mercedes is still very much in the air, things are quite a bit closer with November sales up 45%. In fact last month was the brand\'s best ever in the US selling almost 22,000 vehicles. Notable improvements in sales were the 5 Series (finally) +64%, the 6 Series +67% and the X3 +51%. Check out the full numbers after the break.

Scooped: 3 Series Gran Tourismo Spied Undressed & Unattractive

Well what do we have here? <a href=\"http://www.autoblog.com/2012/12/03/bmw-3-series-gt-caught-uncovered-filming-commercial/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+weblogsinc%2Fautoblog+%28Autoblog%29\">Autoblog</a> has spied a full look at the 3 Series Gran Turismo at a recent photoshoot. The prognosis? Perhaps slighly less ungainly than the 5 Series GT but no where near as attractive as the already released 3 Series wagon it\'s meant to make reductant. Does it deserve a spot in the line-up between the 3er touring and the X3? Let us know in the comments.

BMW’s Big Plans for Small M Cars

The success of the 1M and now the M135i have made it obvious to BMW that smaller M products are vital the future of the brand. While the 1M was limited, it sold briskly from the start. The M135i seems to be carrying on that success albeit without the limited edition constraints that 1M had. And it\'s not just BMW that sees the potential market. Both Mercedes and Audi will be coming to market with offerings in the next 1-2 years.

VIdeo Tour of the BMW i3 Coupe Concept

The i3 Coupe has been somewhat of a revelation for us at BF. Where the previous i3 four door concept was futuristic and compelling in a technological sense, the new coupe is almost sexy. There\'s a aggressive done to the belt-line and front-end that the previous concept seemed to hide. And it\'s also much easier to see a production vehicle behind all the orange paint.

BMW i3 Video Debut

The i3 Coupe represents not only a new variation of the i3 concept but our closest look yet at the full production model. Gone...

The 2012 LA Auto Show Gallery

The LA autos how held a couple of surprises for the industry and one for BMW. While i3 Coupe debut has been covered here already, we thought a quick look at the show as a whole (not necessarily focusing on BMW) was worthwhile. So click through and enjoy.

World Premier: BMW i3 Concept Coupe (w/Photo Gallery)

Today is the day that BMW is taking the wraps off of it\'s third BMWi concept - the i3 Coupe. Based on the previous i3 concept, the coupe represents a sportier take on the carbon fiber monocoque concept. Production feels like a real possibility given the design and technology overlap with the existing i3 four door. That said nothing has been officially mentioned around marketing timing. Read on for the full official release.
