Once upon a time, you could look at the back of a trunk lid of a BMW and come up with a pretty fair idea of what sat under its hood. For example, a 320i was a 3 Series with a fuel-injected, 2.0-liter engine, a 328i was a 3 Series with a fuel-injected, 2.8-liter engine and a 328Ci was a two-door 3...

Since buying a 2014 381i BMW Sports Touring, I've been looking a lot at the styles of the BMW's I see on the street. It seems that the kidney grill changed in 2014, slightly, but importantly. The front of the car slopes down slightly, making the kidney grills look more like nostrils, sniffing...

Hello everyone, I wanna get myself a md to play in my e65 but I can't seem to find which MD model I got to use. Could anyone advice me?

Being a new BMW owner, I now get interesting BMW literature mailed to me. Recently I got a booklet called The Art of Driving, which showed the Hofmeister Kink, that rear window angle line designed in 1961 by their stylist Wilhelm Hofmeister and still a part of BMW design...

The 2014 BMW i8 is an oddity indeed in the world of sexy, six-figure sport coupes: It's meant to usher in "a new era of sustainable performance" for the category--though it can be hotly debated whether buyers of those cars really care about fuel efficiency or environmental concerns. Still, the i8's...

When we test drove a BMW 381i Touring (wagon) I took along my iPod which stopped working after one song. The salesman said they were incomparable with BMWs and suggested I get a newer iPod like a Touch. This was very bad news as the iPod classics are much bigger than the new ones and I need...

UK-market version of Tesla's electric saloon remains brilliantly executed in all but a few ways The ground-breaking, game-changing, preconception-smashing Tesla Model S, finally available in right-hand drive form to UK buyers. It's been a long time coming. Autocar regulars will know how highly we...

I live on a very steep hill, and for those few slushy days, I need AWD. I was very happy that BMW started making their xDrive system. I always assumed that with AWD, one pays a price as the car is heavier, and I assumed, the handling in good conditions wasn't as good. I'm confused about...

BMW is set to recall some 6,400 of its new-for-2014 X5 SUVs built between December 12, 2013 and March 10, 2014. From AB

I just bought a BMW 328i touring sports model. The sound system sounds much better than the regular model we test drove, and it works with my iPod Classic. The speakers say Harman Karden. Does anyone know exactly what sound system I got?

The time has finally come to replace my s/h 1996 BMW 328i SE and my first choice would be another petrol s/h 3-Series of similar or better performance. But I'm dismayed that none of the more recent models offer a sun roof. An essential requirement for me. What's the reason for that omission,...

BMW has spent the better part of a century building its reputation with fossil-burning transportation, but now it's banking heavily on the success of its new i family of electric vehicles. In order to succeed, it will need to sell examples of the i3, but sell the idea with the i8. And in order to...

BMW is adding Carbon Fiber beyond the i & M Models. From AB

Very sad... Brand new 2013 328i. Car parked in company parking lot, come back to find out medium sized crack on drivers side. BMW says not under warranty. I have proof it was undamaged when parked. Best way to go about this? 1) Go with insurance pay $500 for OEM part. *(~2k) OR

BMW made a touring-car version to compete in DTM and a safety car to set the pace at MotoGP races, and now it's combined both into a new safety car for DTM as well. From AB

Pros: With ideal weight distribution and efficient brakes, this is one of the best-handling compact CUVs on the market. It also has ideal size for small, urban families. All-wheel drive comes standard. And of course, the new, clean diesel-powered BMW X3 xDrive28d promises gobs of torque, improved...

I don't know how old this post is but I have the exact opposite problem! I have a 73 with an emblem! I think it got hit and they put on a post 74 lid and i'm looking for a no emblem lid! Lets swap, unless i'm a few years late. On Friday, August 13, 2004 10:40:11 AM UTC-7, z wrote: > I've got a...

You'll search long and hard to find someone else as firmly committed to the removal of the SUV from the American road as your humble author believes himself to be. Although I drove four different Land Rovers during the company's BMW and Ford periods (a '97 five-speed Disco, a '99 Rangie 4.0S that I...
