BMW's i3 electric car will have a little more juice for 2017, gaining a bigger battery to boost its electric range from 80 to 114 miles. It's all thanks to a 50 percent increase in battery capacity. Thanks to denser lithium ion batteries, the i3 goes …

While the service's weirdest and most intriguing offerings are still a ways off, the basic idea—pay by the minute to cruise in a BMW—has already accelerated smoothly from 0 to 60mph. Well, that's except for the time I almost got a moving violation …

BMW is said to be exploring offering a ride-sharing service, something that would pit it against the mighty Uber. The automaker's plan doesn't yet seem fully hatched — but it looks like a sensible defensive maneuver to counter the challenge from the …

I have to hand it to BMW. In celebrating its 100th birthday, the brand could have easily cranked out some retro roadster or sedan concept. As cool as that would have been, I like what it did instead: looking to the far future of cars and driving. Meet …

BMW said data gathered from a car's onboard sensors will be combined with remote information, for example about weather and traffic, using next generation mobile networks, also known as 5G. Any autonomous cars will rival the ones being developed by …

I've already confessed my fondness for a bright, rich, unapologetically eye-catching rosso color with the Lamborghini Huracán, and this new BMW i8 lands at a very similar spot on the spectrum. It's not demure, and not everyone will feel at ease …

From behind-the-wheel reviews to first-looks at models set to debut, here's this week's luxury auto dispatch in a nutshell. In the Spotlight. A full week ahead of the Geneva Motor Show, McLaren launched a preemptive bid to win headlines with its early …

The 2002 Turbo. The original E30 M3. The 1M Coupe. Clearly BMW has a long and distinguished history of producing some of the best performance cars on the planet. But the brand has also been guilty of producing some very… shall we say, lackluster …

BMW isn't just a powerful global presence on four wheels. Its motorcycle department is a world-beater too. Already dominant in the increasingly growing "Adventure" class, which the company more or less invented in 2004 with the introduction of its …

CES is quickly become the place to show off concept cars. Not to be left out of the fun, German automaker BMW shared its vision of an autonomous car that is the complete antithesis of the driverless pod cars that have been shown off by Google. Based on …

At CES today, BMW took the wraps off its "i Vision Future Interaction" concept car. That's a mouthful, and what you really need to know is that it's a Spyder version of the incredible i8 hybrid, reworked with an absurd amount of weird new tech. BMW …

BMW's motorcycle division is showing off a next-generation helmet with a built-in heads-up display at CES this week — and it'll be a real product "within the next few years," the company says. The helmet is designed to show a variety of different …

BMW of North America expects 40 percent of its 2016 U.S. sales to be crossovers, up from 34 percent last year, said CEO Ludwig Willisch. "In a couple of years when we have the X7, it will be even higher," said Willisch during a phone interview …

Faster 2016 Cadillacs may beat BMW's high-powered models. For decades, comfortable cruising was what large, soft Cadillacs were all about, but in recent years, General Motors' luxury division has started building athletic models with a performance edge.

It has been four years since BMW unveiled its 'batmobile' i8 Spyder concept car. Now, reports suggests the car manufacturer could be about to launch a convertible version of the vehicle at the CES technology show in January. Pictured is an artist's …

The BMW i8 is jaw-dropping piece of design. It also has some sweet tech under the hood, thanks to a tiny 1.5-liter gasoline engine mated to a plug-in hybrid power pack. We like it quite a lot. There's just one thing that BMW can do to make it look …

Tesla Motors gets a lot of love for its high-tech cars, but BMW has some strong offerings of its own. The company's latest 7 Series sedan is packed with innovations (some of which aren't legal in the US yet, unfortunately). Tech Insider got a chance to …

So I was surprised to find that BMW's latest innovation was available to drivers in Eugene—and almost nowhere else. The product in question is EnLighten, a smartphone app created by a company called Connected Signals that tells you when the traffic …

Not only is the new 7 — which starts at $81,300 and can climb north of $130,000 — no exception to this rule, but I think BMW has actually doubled down on it: there's more ridiculous stuff happening in and around this vehicle than anything else I've …

For decades, BMW has advertised its vehicles as “the ultimate driving machine.” The meaning of that phrase has started to slip. In an age of connected technology, ultimate driving machines automatically brake for their passengers in emergencies or beam …

I saw a 4 series 4 door the other day here on the streets of Los Angeles. If BMW made the 4 series and thus the M4 to differentiate the sedan and coupe models why the fuck is there a 4 series sedan (Gran Coupe)? The name doesn't even make sense since a …
