BMW has introduced two new models, the M3 Sedan and the M4 Coupe, both of which bring engineered-in lighter curb weights over the previous generation. Though the auto maker has only revealed preliminary specifications at this point, all signs point towards two top-notch offerings, both of which go up for sale on 2015 models starting […]
A hearty collection of BMW and MINI Cooper vehicles have just joined the cloud music universe with a boost to Amazon Cloud Player starting this month. This addition of Amazon Cloud Player app goodness will allow BMW Apps and MINI Connected equipped vehicles from model year 2011 and forward to partake, just so long as […]
We have seen the Amazon Cloud Player launched for the PC platform sometime in the middle of this year, before it makes its way over to the Mac platform a few months down the road. Well, is that the end of the Amazon Cloud Player? Not really, as we now hear today that the Amazon Cloud Player is now made available on both the BMW and Mini Cooper. Drivers of a BMW or MINI Cooper will now be able to make use of the Amazon Cloud Player for iOS so that they are able to access their music library conveniently on their iPhone or iPod touch devices, all through the clever use of the vehicle’s controller as well as display. It will be made available in BMW Apps and MINI Connected equipped vehicles from model year 2011 forward, so if you are driving anything older, that’s just too bad. A time for an upgrade, perhaps?
As for the amount of features available in the Amazon Cloud Player for iOS, they will include high-quality 256kbps audio, the ability to access music in the cloud which will free up local storage space on devices, in addition to a simplified connection which will ensure that you can kiss goodbye to CDs and wires.

BMW has just outed its new MINI Hardtop models ahead of the LA Auto Show, but the cars are first dropping by the Tokyo Motor Show 2013. There, we were able to get a first-hand look at the new MINI Cooper S, which sports a bright yellow and black color scheme, highly modernized controls, and […]

So how can you customize a BMW in a really unusual way? Well, if you have a graveyard full of yak bones, you can just apply them all to the car and make it into a flying beast.
This dragon BMW Z4 was on display at the recent China Import and Export Fair in the Guangdong province. It is gold underneath and all of the rest of it is cut mountain yak bone. Yakkity yak…give my bones back!
I bet those yaks have a bone or three to pick with the builder of this car. Why is the dog chewing on the car again? The decor on this BMW is a real bone-nus. Is that the new XBone? Sorry, I’ll stop.

BMW has officially taken the wraps off of its latest sports model, the 2 Series Coupe, promising punchy performance with a compact footprint and the promise of M Series power at the top-end. Differentiated from the existing 1 Series by its sharper cutlines, more aggressive grilles, and pronounced hood bulges, the 2 Series Coupe is […]

Have wheels, will travel, and that is more or less what we would think of when it comes to owning a car. Earlier this year in July, we did bring you the unveiling of the all electric BMW i3, where the starting price of $41,350 did make it pretty pricey compared to other gas-powered cars. Back then, BMW did not mention just how much will the gas-powered engine version cost. Well, it seems that all of that waiting has finally paid off, as we do know that the gas-powered version of the BMW i3 will cost $45,300 a pop, which would be a $3,950 premium.
The overall cost for the SAE Combo DC Fast Charge option that enables the BMW i3’s owner to fill up its battery to 80 percent in just 20 minutes, or to touch 100 percent in half an hour, remains unspecified. Perhaps when it comes to the Los Angeles Auto Show that is set to happen in November, more details will be shared. The BMWi3 will hit the US market sometime in the second quarter of next year. The Range Extender option would arrive in the form of a 650cc, two-cylinder engine which is capable of churning out 34 horsepower which will more or less double the i3′s 80-to-100 mile electric range, courtesy of a relatively diminutive 2.4-gallon tank.
