Test Driving Unbridled Power: The 2023 BMW XM Redefines the Family Car With 644 Horsepower
BMW has made numerous M cars since 1971, but none of them have been fully developed and built by BMW Motorsport GmbH, the brand's subsidiary that focuses on high-performance vehicles. The exception, of course, was for legendary M1 in 1978. The M1 was also the first BMW with a mid-mounted…
Why You Should Learn To Drive a Stick Shift Before it’s too Late
It was a blue 1999 Honda Accord EX with gray leather, fog lights, and a power moonroof. It wasn't sexy, expensive, or particularly fancy, but it was my first manual transmission car. Even at that time, very few sedans in dealer lots were available with a stick shift, so I…
Why Americans are Such Bad Drivers Compared to Europeans
Americans are a very specific breed of driver, and it's not all good. We like to hog the passing lane when we're not passing. We love gigantic, high-riding pickup trucks and SUVs, we can't parallel park, and the hell with roping our own gears with a manual transmission. Tack on…
Triumph TR25 Concept by Makkina
If you thought Triumph had retreated from the scene, think again, because they're back with a bang. Feast your eyes on this jaw-dropping ride. The TR25, designed by Makkina, is a cutting-edge masterpiece that will have your heart racing and your eyes glued to its sleek design. This marks the…
The Best Motorcycles with Standard ABS For Safe, Enjoyable Rides
You're likely driving a car that has an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), which debuted in the automotive industry in the late '70s and is pretty much standard equipment on every new car sold in America today. The technology is significant because it enables drivers to maintain steering control during braking,…
BMW CE 02 Urban eBike
We love when an impressive concept vehicle leads to a successful production model. Case in point: the BMW CE 02, this Urban eBike debuted in 2021 as a one-off concept of an electric bike. But now, it's seeing the light of day. What's most impressive is that few aesthetic changes…
BMW Introduces ConnectedRide Smartglasses
While they haven't hit American soil yet, the BMW ConnectedRide smartglasses are starting to make waves in the motorcycle community. Not only do they offer riders a futuristic heads-up display that car manufacturers have been integrating into their ride, BMW Motorrad promises a safer, smoother experience for motorcyclists. Designed for…
2024 BMW i5
As the venerable BMW 5 Series enters its 8th generation, the move involves electrification, to no one's surprise. It's called the i5, and it includes two models: the i5 eDrive40 and the sportier and more powerful i5 M60 xDrive. Styling is leaner and more rakish than the rather understated 7th-generation…
BMW Concept Touring Coupé
Gone are wagon-like Bimmers we've loved and lost. The M Coupe, the Z4 M Coupe, and the 3-Series Sportwagon. Now, BMW is teasing us in the worst way with this one-off Concept Touring Coupé that's a Z4-based shooting brake (Brit-speak for a two-door wagon) that recently showed up at the…
BMW “The Icon” Hydrofoil
BMW and boats. What? Well, that's exactly what you see here, and it's not just any old boat. It's the result of a collab between BMW and boat maker TYDE. The radical electric watercraft just dropped cover at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. It looks like something owned by a…
BMW Motorrad R 12 nineT
The successor to the excellent Beemer R nineT is almost here. The new bike is called the R 12 nineT, and the nomenclature is a nod to the new 1200cc boxer engine that comes with a redesigned intake and exhaust. The R 12 nineT's release is timed with the 100-year…
2024 Lincoln Nautilus
Make no mistake. The current Nautilus is very good, but it has to swim upstream against the likes of Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Land Rover, and Genesis. That could very well change with the dramatic redesign for 2024. The exterior is more sculpted, the front fascia more dramatic, the rear…
2024 BMW i7 xDrive
You'd think that the quickest Bimmers in the stable are all M cars, but that's not completely true. BMW just announced its i7 M70 xDrive electric luxury flagship sedan, and it's a luxurious land rocket. It makes 650 horses that drive both axles, and there's 748 lb-ft of twist when…
BMW XM Label Red
Although we wouldn't call this beast attractive, it certainly will turn heads. The XM Label Red is the top dog in the Bimmer M setable with 738 horsepower coming from its M Hybrid system (a 577 hp M TwinPower Turbo V8 + a 194 hp electric motor). 0-60 mph comes…
The Palmen Barnfind Collection
A rare single barn find car is reason to celebrate. 230 of them are something else, entirely. Dutch collector Ad Palmen was a car hoarder of the greatest kind and 40 years worth of them in two warehouses and a church. The executors of Palmen's estate found the cars after…
