The Joy of RWD

50/50 weight distribution and a limited slip differential. These are the not-so-secret ingredients for perfect and effortless drifting. But along with that there\'s one that we often forget to talk about - a lack of adhesion.

M235i Production Details and Timeline

The 2 Series is coming. But perhaps more importantly for BF readers the M235i right behind it. According to sources August of 2013 will mark the start of production for the F22 2 Series rear wheel drive coupe. The successor to the 1 Series, the 2 series will see a slight increase in size and a slight decrease in weight. It will also see the introduction of a M Performance Line version of the small BMW coupe to be called the M235i. And thanks to some digging similar to what we did with the 4 Series we\'ve uncovered some data (and dates) around the new M235i.

The Best Used 3 Series of All Time

Over the years I\'ve bought everything from E30s to most recently an E61. And the one thing that holds true with all used cars is that the simpler the better. Not just for reliability but also when it comes to driving engagement. And that\'s why the 3 Series has always represented the best choice when it comes to used BMWs. Yet not all 3 Series are created equal when it comes to the used market. So follow us through the years as we look at each of the five generations of 3 Series and how they appeal as used cars.
