From time to time digging back into the BMW history is something that we like to do and we have reasons to believe you enjoy these articles as well. Now, BMW made it easier for us this time and they posted a press release talking about one of the most influential cars in their history: BMW 700. The BMW 700 is a small rear-engined car produced by BMW from August 1959 to September 1965, based on

If initially we reported that the BMW X1 will only be available for the European market, at the NYC Auto Show, a BMW representative misterously spoke of BMW’s plans to indeed include the X1 in the U.S. line-up as well. So, apparently, BMW has always had plans for the U.S. market and for those of you looking for a smaller SAV model, the X1 might satfisfy your needs. We arrived with enthusiasm

In the world of tuning, naturally the tuner wants to be creative and this “Darth Maul” E92 BMW M3 does not disappoint.

BMW Group is planning a limited edition MINI to mark the 50th anniversary of the Cooper Car Company taking the F1 manufacturers crown way back in 1959. The MINI John Cooper F1 will be distinguished by its British Racing Green non-metallic paint color, lined with two white-edged black stripes and Pepper White side mirrors and roof.

BMW sought an innovative approach for the launch of the all-new BMW Z4 Roadster, and had to look no further than its rich legacy of commitment to art for inspiration. The result, an aesthetically powerful marketing campaign entitled "Expression of Joy," rolls out in early May.

If these indeed are the first spy shots of the BMW CS Concept, which the company said was not up for production then many might be left more disappointed than elated. The ‘CS Concept’, which was showcased at the 2008 Shanghai Auto Show, is a four door luxury sedan with plenty of space in the inside, aggressive front end styling, a sloping rear and a powerful BMW engine to drive it on. It still

Apparently some of our friends from CarMag in the UK managed to get some “rare” details on how the n BMW 1-series is going to look like. With an accent on fuel efficiency, the new BMW 1 is going to sport a new 1.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine but the power figures are like that.

These past few weeks have all been about the new generation BMW 5 Series due to launch in 2010. We have seen plenty of spy photos, from all the angles and most important, showing us all the future models…or at least most of them, the M5 won’t be out until 2012. So what’s so special about these latest spy shots and why are we so excited? Simply one reason: these are the first photos showing us

With all these recent mergers talks - Fiat with Chrysler and Opel, VW/Porsche and Saab with everyone else -   one cannot wonder if some of the oldest and traditional luxury carmakers will join this bandwagon.

More news coming down the Munich pipeline, but this time, they’re all about the England based brand, MINI. Rumor says that MINI is actively looking into the possibility of building a competitor for the popular(at least in Europe), Volkswagen GTI.

Since you’re reading our blog, you are most likely huge bimmer fans so therefore you know by now that the BMW M3 only comes in three variants: Sedan, Coupe and Convertible.
