BMW iX2 review - Driving Experience, Design, Build and more...
Another BMW EV, this time a small, very trendy one, the iX2. Jonathan Crouch takes a look at what's on offer. Ten Second Review The market's first fully electric compact coupe crossover is this car, the iX2. It's basically an iX1 in drag of course, but there's a little more to the iX2 that that.

2026 BMW i8 M - First review

It is of course packed with the latest technology and driver aids, yet at well over five metres long it also has the fundamental provision of space in abundance.

2023 BMW M4 CSL Is Not for the Faint of Heart
This ultimate M car is BMW's answer to the Porsche 911 GT3 and the upcoming Mercedes-AMG C63 S E-Performance. At an indicated 274 km/h (170 mph) on the Autobahn A94 Munich-Passau in the 2023 BMW M4 CSL, we muster the last crumbs of courage and stretch out the right foot all the way. Guess what happens? The thing downshifts into…

2020 BMW 228i Gran Coupe Yearlong Test: A Quick Tale of New Run-Flat Tires
Hard driving, aggressive tire wear, and a new set of non-OEM run-flats—the text came in from our test fleet manager, Erick Ayapana, describing the need to source new tires for the 228i xDrive because the current ones were worn beyond safe use. I told him I had recently driven the vehicle and hadn't seen any sort of excessive tire wear.…
