Remember the BMW 8-Series? A large, eye-catching coupe built from 1990-99, it was in many ways a pioneer for the Bavarian brand. Apart from the low-volume M1 sold in the early-’80s, the 8-Series is the only BeeEm to date with pop-up headlights, and its other claims to fame include being the Bavarian brand’s only V12 model to be offered with a six-speed manual gearbox. What’s more, it was one of the company’s first vehicles to feature a multilink rear axle.
BMW came up with the new-generation X5 SUV last June. Now they’ve modernised the lineup by electrifying the X5. The BMW X5 xDrive45e comes in as a replacement for the xDrive40e X5 model that was already offered.
Climbing to the top of the unloved BMW X2 crossover range is the first ever four-cylinder M-Performance branded model, called the BMW X2 M35i.
After 4 years since it was first announced, BMW’s late answer to the full-size niche is here, not that anyone was particularly asking for it. This large SUV will sit above the X5 and will aptly be called the BMW X7.
The BMW 3-Series sedan has always been one of the most popular offerings from the German manufacturer. Even though it went through several generations, the 3-Series had kept alive the very traits that made it famous. And now, there is a new generation model that has been revealed at the 2018 Paris Motor Show, although the styling isn’t winning many praises.
Volkswagen, BMW, Ram and more. The past month of August recorded a number of recalls from different manufacturers which are listed below.
Countless rumours, speculation and spy shots later, arrives the 2019 BMW Z4. The roadster revealed its face at the Pebble Beach in its most powerful M40i guise which was later followed by the lesser sDrive20i and sDrive30i models.
A year after the arrival of the concept, BMW’s flagship 8-Series finally reveals itself, although it’s not the full-size S-Class fighter it was expected to be. The legendary 8–Series moniker went defunct in 1999 when the big V8/V12 Coupe was discontinued due to poor sales. But while the old one flopped at the time, it is now considered a classic. However, the new model looks to be more of typical BMW, especially as it is a replacement for the 6-Series coupe.
These are the recalls that were announced during the month of May. They are pretty major ones and affect hundreds of thousands of owners.
