Quick Spin: 2014 BMW Z4 sDrive35is 1368557880

The BMW Z3/Z4 roadster has never really had a truly widespread following because it has either been too humble and small a roadster (albeit with some fun and very low-volume M editions) or it has been – in this E89 generation – too casual an image leader with no racier aspirations. The current 480-hp Z4 GTEs don't count, since they are as ...

Quick Spin: 2013 BMW X6 M 1349377080

Subtle enhancements include a 'power bulge' hood (identical to the one used on the now-defunct BMW X6 ActiveHybrid), minor cosmetic tweaks to the BMW-signature kidney grille and headlight improvements (HID beams are standard with LED headlights new to the options list). Wrapping up the changes, the brake calipers have been painted "M Blue" and front ...

Quick Spin: 1989 BMW Z1 [w/video] 1318003020

At One With The Wind Gods In Munich's Ultimate Wedgie We had ventured out to California for a BMW event tied to the huge Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and there it sat, unapologetically sassy. It was there and then that we decided it was time to finally drive one of BMW's ultimate curio cars, the plastic fantastic Z1 built between 1989 and ...

Quick Spin: 2012 BMW 1 Series Five-Door 1310745240

Euro Hatchling Gets Worked Over But Still Won't Come Over It has been brought to our attention that there are many Americans besides just us who wish they could more easily get their hands on the sort of two- and four-door hatchbacks that Europeans buy by the truckload. Not only that, but we also dream of having access to the full range of clever ...

2011 BMW X1 xDrive28i 1303487880

A Compact Crossover For The Wagon-Averse My wife hates wagons. Loathes them with the kind of passion and fervor normally reserved for sexual predators and real estate agents. But despite this, she drives the prototypical wagon-on-stilts, a Honda CR-V. That unbridled disgust for any low-riding hatchback is something I've been trying to figure out for ...

Quick Spin: 2010 BMW 760Li 1293469020

If You Have The Means, Then By All Means... $66,350 is a significant sum. In the automotive world, it can buy you a variety of delicious drivables, including the BMW M3, Cadillac CTS-V or Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. It can buy you exactly 4.67 Mazda2 hatchbacks, if that's more your style, but no matter how you look at it, $66K isn't chump change. So when ...

Quick Spin: 2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe 1291049820

BMW's Version Of A Blue Light Special For Speed There's a well-worn automotive axiom that plays out many different ways: The amount of money you spend is proportional to how fast you go. You want more speed? You spend more money. If you've priced a BMW M3 these days, you see the principle at work. Back in the old days (1987), a U.S.-spec M3 boasted a ...

Retro Spin: 1988 BMW M5 1286553420

25 Years After Launch, Original M5 Still Stirs The Soul "How would you like to drive a 1988 M5 up Highway 1?" That wasn't a call I was expecting, especially in the late summer of 2010. As far as I was concerned, any car from the 1980s still on the road was sure to be showing a few hundred thousand miles, springs coming through the seats and air ...
