It still seems like the BMW 3 Series has only scratched the surface of what is possible to do with the F30 chassis and design. There’s just so many derivatives coming and so much promise seems to reside in what the Bavarians are cooking up right now. One of the closest to production of these [...]

BMW’s top end presence at the luxury segment has a lot to do with the luxurious cars they make but there’s also a lot to do with the way the details are planned out. The details on the interior, the way the engine works and then there’s the stuff that’s not directly related to the [...]

America’s lack of interest in the fuel saving solution that is the diesel engine has been long discussed and over-debated for several years now.
