BMW’s all-new 4 Series Coupe is based on the successful 3 Series platform and represents the company’s second-generation 4 Series Coupe. The 4 Series has grown in length, width, and even height. Though the new 4 Series Coupe is bigger in nearly every dimension, it is the new design that dominates the discussions with onlookers. […]

The initial launch of the GLA name in the Mercedes-Benz range wasn’t exactly a record-breaking success. The first GLA was a rather small, compact crossover you could barely consider anything else but a car on stilts initially. It was small and cramped but, even so, Daimler managed to sell almost a million of them since […]

If you’re sick of all the BMW design criticism, just take a look at the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe, as it’s a great example of how BMW can still nail a design. It’s a gorgeous car; its long, low, lean, and muscular, while still looking elegant and premium. What a thing. For Japanese market […]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past year, you’re fully aware of the criticism being hurled at the new BMW M3 and M4, seemingly by the truckloads, for their new grille design.

Without question, one of the oddest cars to ever wear a blue and white Roundel was the BMW Isetta from the ’50s. After the war, BMW wasn’t exactly an automotive giant, so rather than design and build a small city car by itself, it bought one from Iso and called it the Isetta. It was […]

Compared to other BMW products, the iX electric vehicle hasn’t been spotted as much out on public roads. Most of the iX photos seen so far were part of the BMW press or marketing portfolios, so it’s always refreshing to see what the new BMW iX looks like without the glossy glamour. These new images […]

If you’ve read some of my articles about BMW concepts, you’d know that my favorite one of all time is the BMW 328 Hommage concept. It was a gorgeous retro-inspired roaster, with just enough classic design elements to remind you of the iconic BMW 328 from the ’30s. So when I saw the headline that […]

One of the biggest controversy surrounding the 2021 BMW M3 and M4 is oversized grille. The topic has been debated intensively over the last few months and in the end, the jury is still out on the success of this design approach. So we wanted to look past that for a moment and give an […]
