Speed Academy is building an E90 BMW M3 with the S65 V8 with a DCT transmission to be the best street car ever.

Today we have a 2002 BMW M5 for you.

We try not to judge the asking price on these used cars of the day -- we let you do it. Mostly because we don't want to copy a long-running feature at another, similar outlet.

But this 2016 BMW M5 made me wonder if, uh, the price is correct.

More than 25 years ago now there was a brutal business battle between two of Germany’s Big Three. At the conclusion of the 20th century, both BMW and Volkswagen were very eager to purchase Rolls-Royce and Bentley. The two British luxury stalwarts had been intertwined via the same owner for many decades, but that was about to change. The fight took five years to play out, saw neither company get exactly what it wanted, and changed the fortunes of both Rolls-Royce and Bentley for the better.

Friend of the site Connie Peters has a video review of the 2025 BMW Z4 M40i for us -- the one with the manual.

Toyota revived the Supra several years back with help from BMW. That partnership yielded an impressive vehicle, but it also means that the Supra is wrapped into recalls that impact BMW powertrains. The Supra was recently recalled in an action that also affects the BMW 3-Series and X3.

We've got a recall involving several BMW and Mini models.

Today we present you with a 2002 BMW M5.

Numerous studies and surveys have shown that car buyers really care about Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but BMW says its internal data disagrees. The automaker recently told BMW Blog that its drivers rely more on its baked-in navigation and other features than the technologies offered with smartphone-mirroring systems.

We just got a look at the new BMW iX3, which is the automaker’s first to use its Neue Klasse design philosophy. As expected, BMW has a range of new models based on the platform in the works, and it recently said it would deliver more than 40 new models with the design language in the next two years.

BMW is making a lot of news today. Now we have a recall.

As part of the debut of the 2026 BMW iX3, we’re getting a glimpse of the updated operating system going into the brand’s “Neue Klasse” vehicles. However, the reveal didn’t just show us an upcoming model. It also serves as the death knell of the much-praised iDrive knob, which future BMW models will not receive.

We’ve been seeing BMW’s “Neue Klasse” concept cars for a while now, but they’re finally starting to translate into production cars. The new iX3 debuted at the Munich Auto Show yesterday, showing a new electric SUV with sci-fi levels of tech and, um, interesting styling.

Mercedes-Benz is reportedly in negotiations about potentially using BMW-sourced motors on future models. The engine in question is said to be a four-cylinder unit that would go into a wide range of products.

Tightening global emissions standards have led automakers toward electrification to boost their fleets’ fuel economy, which has caused the demise of larger-displacement engines and some performance models.

BMW has reported its sales for the second quarter and first half of 2025.

What happens when an engine lets go on a racetrack? You do a redemption build.

Today we're going topless with a 2004 BMW 330ci convertible.

BMW will soon share some of its tariff costs with buyers. Cars Direct recently reported that the automaker would bump pricing on many models by as much as 1.9 percent starting July 1, which could increase buyers’ costs by $2,500 on some vehicles.

BMW's pricing guide for the 2026 model year M3 has leaked online. A base-trimmed M3 looks like it’ll be setting buyers back $78,400. Meanwhile the M3 Competition and Competition xDrive will be priced at $82,600 and $87,700, respectively. That’s an increase of $1,700 across the board before factoring in destination fees or any dealer markups you might encounter. However, the cars appear to be mechanically unchanged.

Despite routinely teasing the public with exotic design concepts, BMW leadership has confessed that producing a supercar is simply is not in the cards right now. While the brand admits that it would like to manufacture something as wild as the Nazca M12 or Vision M Next, doing so would be an expensive gamble at an inopportune time.

The BMW M2 was already one of the most fun and engaging coupes on the market, but it’s getting better for 2026 with the new M2 CS. Its lightweight design shaves almost 100 pounds from the base car, and it features a significant power boost.

We’re back with a Z4 update today, and it’s an unexpected one. Spring of 2025 saw record rainfall here in southwestern Ohio, and a few weeks ago it rained for five solid days. Factually, the Cincinnati area experienced 7.85 inches of rainfall in April of 2024, compared to its 30-year average of just 4.73 inches. But why should one care about rain if they’ve a watertight hardtop roof?

Today we bring you a blue 2005 BMW M3.

How a car looks has no tangible impact on how it drives or performs, but BMW found out the hard way that styling really matters to buyers, especially when they’re being asked to pay deep six-figure prices for a vehicle. The automaker has had an exceptionally hard time selling its XM SUV over the last year or so, leading it to offer some truly impressive discounts.

Today we have a 2000 BMW M5 for you.

With spring around the corner, you might be thinking about dropping your top.

With that in mind, check out this 2005 BMW Z4.

BMW has launched a new website that catalogs every model it manufactured between 1928 and 2008. It’s suitable for fans of the brand who want to take a trip into the past. But it’s likewise been integrated into BMW’s parts catalog. Whether that makes component hunting more convenient is debatable. But it does showcase that the brand remains mindful of its heritage and it’s something we’d be happy to see from other automakers.

Back in the first half of the 2000s, BMW E30s were as plentiful in California car graveyards as are E46s and E90s today, maybe even more so. They still show up occasionally at the Golden State yards with "Pick" and/or "Pull" in their names today, despite what Internet Car Experts may say, and you can even find the quicker non-orthodontist-spec models if you look for them. Say, this first-year 325iS at the same East Bay Pick-n-Pull that now has five first-gen Nissan Leafs in stock.

BMW has teased the latest test rig for its Neue Klasse vehicle platform, which is supposed to underpin the next generation of the brand’s products. The automobile has been dubbed the “BMW Vision Driving Experience” and is not intended for sale.

Today we have a 2016 BMW 740i with the M-Sport package for your perusal.

Believe it or not, we’ve crossed the two-year ownership mark with the Nashville-via-San Diego sourced 2010 BMW Z4. The 60,000-mile mark on the odometer has rolled past, and among many fun drives on curvy roads additional maintenance items have been resolved. Oh, and there was a multi-day stay at the dealer for an important recall.

BMW has confirmed that it will be retaining the V8 for specific markets where it believes demand will remain strong, including North America. This decision comes at a point where many automakers are moving away from larger motors in order to reduce production costs and appease emissions regulations.

Munich has laid its restyling pen upon the iX, drawing a Neue Klasse lighting signature to go with a grille that’s just as large as before – albeit with different detailing. In other news, range is up and price (of entry) is down.

Another manual-transmission wagon is on our forums for your perusal. This one is a 2001 BMW 325xi Touring.

BMW has revealed its updated Panoramic iDrive system at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025, with the system slated to land in production vehicles by the end of this year. The goal is to make this standard equipment for all models moving forward, allowing the business to ditch the venerable iDrive knob so that the company can implement more touch controls.

The BMW M8 Coupe is about to say auf wiedersehen to the world. According to dealer memos, the manufacturer doesn’t plan on taking any orders for the model since production will soon be ending. While the vehicle still exists on the company’s website, that’s also supposed to change come January.

BMW is promoting its own self-driving technology after the Dingolfing facility finalized its Automated Driving In-Plant (AFW) system as part of its “BMW iFactory” framework. The location is transitioning into one where the vehicles can pilot themselves around the facility at low speeds, setting the stage for other sites to follow suit. While the notion that this means something for its advanced driving technologies on-road are suspect, BMW is likewise hyping the logistical advantages of not needing human porters to move completed vehicles.

BMW is recalling a handful of models from the 2023 and 2024 model years due to potential problems with their antilock braking and stability control systems. The automaker is pulling back 11,579 vehicles in the recall, which was published on the NHTSA’s site on October 2.

Many automakers have softened their once-aggressive electrification plans, but that hasn’t stopped several of them from backing off development of their thirstiest internal combustion engines. BMW is one of the few companies that have publicly affirmed their dedication to gas engines, as an executive recently said it would keep the M3’s gas-powered inline-six for at least one more generation.

Today we bring you a 2003 BMW 540i M Sport that's an oldie, but apparently, also a goody.

While most people have gotten over the early concerns about EV ownership, like range, charging, and driving experience, one significant question doesn’t have an airtight answer: What happens to EV batteries when the vehicle is ready for the scrap heap? A handful of companies have sprung up to address that issue, and BMW recently partnered with one of the most well-known entities in the space.

As Morning in America dawned during the first half of the 1980s, with finance-industry mavericks shaking down S&Ls while Ford Aerospace did the same to the U.S. Army with its antiaircraft version of the ED-209, BMW was in an excellent position to cash in on newly fashionable conspicuous consumption in the United States. Hitting our shores just in time for this was the E28 5 Series, which was available here for the 1982 through 1988 model years. Here's an example of the early E28, found in a Carson City boneyard recently.

Almost three-quarters of a million BMWs are being recalled. The automaker is clawing the vehicles back for an issue with the water pump electrical connection that could increase the fire risk.

The recall impacts several models, including the 2012-2015 X1, 2013-2017 X3, and 2015-2018 X4, among others. In total, more than 720,000 vehicles are involved in the recall. BMW said the problem relates to the vehicles’ water pumps, which may have incorrect sealant. Over time, the pumps may be susceptible to water at the point of connection, which could cause a short and, potentially, a fire.
