1-Series

For us good tax paying citizens how thieves make off with our car is a huge mystery to us. We can't even get into a car with an open window and a coat hanger let alone hack into one and drive away. Today things are very different, and let's just say it ain't like the movies where you just reach ...

Let's get one thing straight: We'll never complain about a new BMW 1 Series performance model, and on paper, this new-for-2013 135is sure seems like a total hoot. But you have to understand, we're still mourning the loss of the 1 Series M Coupe, a one-year model that we absolutely fell in love ...

Obviously, we knew this was coming, but the BMW 1 Series M Coupe is now history. While BMW is still building out the model run, it has closed ordering and "all cars are spoken for," according to Car and Driver. The report comes from the magazine's European correspondent, so we assume any ...

It isn't every day that BMW offers an electric vehicle, but the ActiveE is just that.

Oh dear. It appears that the overhauled 2012 BMW 1 Series has leaked onto the Internet ahead of its Frankfurt Motor Show debut, and while we only have images of it from a few angles, the new car's design has us scratching our heads. It's true that the 1 Series has never been a particularly ...

The E30 M3 Reincarnated, But Where Does That Leave The M3? Enthusiasts, BMW has your car. After painfully watching for years as the automaker's beloved M lineup ballooned in both size and weight – even adding sport utility vehicles – the German's have delivered us a new little ...

With the 2012 BMW 1-Series nearing its debut, BMW has released a painfully vague teaser image of its next small car. We already have a good indication of the car's five-door shape, thanks to a crack team of spy photographers, but a second version is in the works, and judging by the profile, it's ...
