If you’re in the BMW game, it shouldn’t be a secret that some of today’s BMW unicorns were everyone’s trash a decade ago. A clean example of an E39 M5 with sub-six-figure mileage could be fetched for around $10,000 in the 2010-2015 market. Now you’re looking at at least double that. The same could be…
Let’s face it, BMW doesn’t have the best reputation for reliability. When I told my father that I had just purchased a 30-year-old BMW 325i for a daily driver, he nearly laughed me out of the room. He, along with all of the wannabe comedians in my family loved throwing the oh-so-creative “Big Money Waster”…
Upgrading the N54 turbos isn’t a decision that most of us take lightly. It can be a serious financial commitment, and you want the money to feel like it was well spent. I know I personally spent a couple weeks deciding between N54 single vs twin turbo upgrades. Once I decided on twins, I then…
One of the first roadblocks to making massive power from the BMW B58 straight-6 is the factory high-pressure fuel pump. 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…
Since the BMW i3 was released in 2013, it is clear that BMW has had their sights squarely set on the EV market. Now, 10 years later, BMW is making another major leap toward an electrified future. While a new BMW EV platform has been rumored for a while, much of the speculation was solidified…
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. While Tesla jumped in head first, dedicating all of their resources to their electric vehicle endeavors, BMW has obviously been splitting their…
The BMW N52 engine is the last naturally aspirated inline-6 engine that BMW manufactured. That is a big deal considering the brand’s reputation for creating some of the best straight-6 engines ever made. Throughout the N52’s lengthy 11-year build cycle between 2004 and 2015, it garnered a reputation for smooth power delivery and bulletproof reliability….
Practicality isn’t typically the first word in the BMW M-Division’s vocabulary. Most of the time, raw performance and dedication to the “Ultimate Driving Machine” mantra are paramount to everything else. But the M-Division is also pretty good at violating their own blueprints, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. In the case of the M-Division’s…
Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, electrification is here and it’s quickly taking over the automotive world. The BMW M3 and M4 remain among a shrinking list of enthusiast & driver’s cars that still offer ICE and manual transmissions. What will happen with the next generation M3 and M4, though? Will they stay true…
We are almost 10 years into the B48 build cycle and to date, the turbocharged inline-4 is holding up just as well as many had expected. As part of the BMW Modular B-Series engine platform, the BMW B48 shares nearly identical construction to the larger inline-6 B58 engine. Besides their massive power potential, the BMW…
At this point, the BMW B48 engine has been around for 9 years and has powered some of BMW’s most popular vehicles including the majority of F30, G20, and G30 models. When the B48 was released in 2014, it replaced the popular N20 engine as the newest iteration of BMW’s turbocharged inline-4 formula. As part…
The BMW E36 marked the third iteration of the BMW 3-Series and brought the model range closer to the edge of the 21st century. The prior E21 and E30 chassis’ were so widely loved that they cemented the 3-Series name as the top driver-focused, German everyday car on the market. While the E36 certainly kept…
