What Is BMW Rod Bearing Failure?
Of all of the reasons that people avoid purchasing aging BMW M cars, the fear of rod bearing failure is, without doubt, the most pervasive. It looms over any prospective E46 M3, E90 M3, E60 M5, or E63 M6 buyer’s head like a bomb with a random fuse, ready to explode and cause irreparable damage…
The 5 Most Powerful BMW Engines
It’s no secret BMW has made some excellent, fast high-performance cars. However, BMW has mostly kept away from horsepower wars, and has instead relied on building “The Ultimate Driving Machine”.

While the factory B58 high-pressure fuel pump is a pretty capable piece of kit compared to the HPFPs found on older BMW turbocharged engines, it still taps out at around the 450whp mark on 93…
BMW Vision Neue Klasse – BMW’s Next Leap Into the EV Market

BMW i4 vs Tesla Model 3 – Which is Better?
With the death of the internal combustion engine looming on the horizon, it is no secret that most current auto manufacturers are trying to strike early with some new hard-hitting models, BMW included.
