2015 BMW i8: A Road Less Travelled4.0/5

The weather hasn't been pleasant this spring in Eastern Canada, but we've finally seen the end of freezing surroundings and turned a corner with flowers, weeds and allergies blossoming. I had to go on a business road trip from Toronto to Ottawa, which doesn't seem like a long distance, but …May 23, 2016

BMW Next 100: The Car of the Future

MUNICH, Germany – When I was young, I used to leaf through books looking at sketches of cars of the future, which promised glass roofs and rocket engines. By the end of this decade, automobiles will have changed dramatically compared to the cars of the early 1960s. BMW is currently …April 11, 2016

The Past Foretells the Future: Happy 100th Birthday, BMW!

MUNICH, Germany – One hundred years have passed since Bayerische Motoren Werke was established. The German automaker was created when two engine builders joined forces on March 7, 1916. Since then, the company’s logo has continued to be a rotating propeller on a blue and white background—the official colours of …March 14, 2016

2016 BMW X4 M40i: May Contain Traces of M24.0/5

The X4 M40i is proof that BMW has hopped on the current trend of developing – at little cost – new and more dynamic versions of already established models, all with the goal of increasing profit margins. With a base price of $57,900 (that’s $3,700 more than the X4 xDrive35i), …February 26, 2016

2016 BMW M2: The Soul of BMW4.5/5

FWAAAP… FWAAAP… FWAAAP… that’s one of the most enjoyable sounds heard behind the wheel of the BMW M2 on the Laguna Seca track in California. That particular sound comes from the contact between the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires and the low-profile ridges at the entry points, apexes and exit …February 17, 2016

2016 BMW M2: We’re Testing it this Week

The Car Guide is en route to Monterey and the awesome Laguna Seca raceway to try out the new 2016 BMW M2. And we’ve got to admit that we’re more than just a little bit excited about it. As the spiritual descendent of the 1M coupe, the M2 boasts a …February 12, 2016

2015 BMW i3: Today’s Shape Of Tomorrow4.0/5

Someday, electric cars will be offered in all shapes and sizes, and people who drive them likely won’t be trying to make a statement. However, if we’re behind the wheel an EV today, we’re probably sticking out like a sore thumb. We’ll definitely get noticed in the 2015 BMW i3, …January 18, 2016

2016 BMW 328i xDrive Touring: Making Your Luxury SUV Obsolete4.0/5

You probably don't need me to tell you that wagons are a dying breed. Chances are, you don't know all that many people who own one, unless you happen to run with a crowd rife with fans of one of the few remaining automakers that still deigns to offer Canadian …January 8, 2016

2016 BMW 340i xDrive: Closing The Gap4.0/5

Effortless performance seems to be the new mantra of luxury sedan builders regardless of what nation they hail from. There are as many ways to get from A to B in under five seconds as there are badges on the hood, but the miracle of modern technology has largely democratized …January 1, 2016

2016 BMW X1 xDrive 28i: The Smallest X Gets A New Platform4.0/5

BMW introduced the X1 to Europe in 2009 as an entry-level “Sport Activity Vehicle.” It arrived in Canada in 2012, a late arrival that wasn’t due to a possible lack of interest here, but instead because Canada is a relatively small global market and at first sales were focused elsewhere.

2016 BMW 340i: Getting Back Its Mojo4.5/5

When BMW’s 3 Series got its sixth-generation makeover in 2012, the car got a little bit bigger, received some new technology, and in the interest of increased comfort, it got a plusher ride. Most drivers probably welcomed the additional coddling offered by the softer suspension and steering in the non-M …October 13, 2015

The New BMW 3 Series And X1: We're Driving Them This Week

This week we're in Mexico's Copper Canyon to drive two new BMWs. The first, the 2016 BMW 340i, receives a mid-generation upgrade. The exterior has been lightly revised with new LED headlights and bumpers, the interior has been refreshed, the suspension reworked, and there's a new engine. The 320-horsepower, 3.0L …October 7, 2015
