Range anxiety; it\'s what holds many back from buying an electric vehicle and why BMW has done some serious R&D into a range extender for the i3. Truth be told, this is the car we are interested in adding to the stable and not the pure electric model and its not because of range anxiety- it\'s the being prepared mentality we religiously follow.

Putting them through their complete paces on the winding roads of southern California, Eric came away with a complete picture of just what these two machines have to offer.
Official Release: The 2013 season of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) is not the only thing kicking off at the 12 Hours of Sebring (US) this weekend. The race also marks the start of a new era in BMW Motorsport’s programme in North America: This is the first time BMW Team RLL will line up against opposition in the GT class with the newly developed BMW Z4 GTE.
BMW has announced an end to their racing cooperation with Speedbrain, their partner organization in running Husqvarna motorcycles in events like the Dakar. Given BMW\'s recent sale of the Husqvarna marque to Pierer Industrie AG, there\'s not much left to partner on unless BMW were to start running the R 1200 GS in that epic race. Frankly, I think I\'d like to see that. But big bikes in the sand notwithstanding, the two groups have parted ways amicably as BMW continues to refocus its Motorrad division to what\'s next.

Official Release: With 133,630 BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brand automobiles delivered worldwide (+4.7% / prev. yr. 127,638), the BMW Group achieved its best-ever February sales result.

It takes a lot to be an auto manufacturer in Germany. It takes even more to hang with the best and that is precisely what Alpina has done with their newest offerings (at least on paper). The all new B3 is a slick interpretation of luxury and performance in an exclusive package. Truth is, over the years we have met some seriously passionate BMW personalities but few come close to Alpina\'s proprietor Andreas Boviensapien and we have grown to respect the brand a great deal. As an engineer and race driver that has a knack for building things that get up and go in a hurry Andy shows genuine enthusiasm, as is evident by the twinkle he gets in his eyes when discussing products that are finished up at his Buchloe factory.

The big winner for February is (unsurprisingly) the X5 with sales up 22% over February of 2012. Also up (and hopefully stabilized) is the F10 5 Series. And finally it\'s nice to see the 6 Series, a car we\'ve reviewed very positively, doing well. On the downside are a couple surprises. The F30 3 Series is fully launched with xDrive yet it continues to show up and down figures month after month. We\'d guess this has something to do with the Coupe and Convertible being long in the tooth and the lack of incentives last month compared to 2012 when BMW was clearing out E90s. It also makes you wonder how BMW plans on reporting model sales when they move the 3er Coupe and Convertible to the 4 Series model classification.
