The case of the convertible SUVs is a curious one. Back when this style of vehicle was new – the days of the original Jeep and Land Rover, that is – the open-top utility vehicles were cooler and more...

Good news for the fans of big, luxurious, over-the-top coupes. The all-newBMW 8 Series Coupe is very close to production now as the Bavarian company dispatches prototypes to race tracks for dynamic testing. This thing, by the looks of things, is going to give the AMG 63 and Bentley Continental GT a good run for their money. We only get to see the overall shape of theBMW 8 Series Coupe in this teaser, but they have included a good deal of pure exhaust noise. The 8 Coupe, as they call it, sounds a lot dirtier than most M cars of recent years, and that’s great. And as for the looks, it’s not like we don’t know what the 8er is going to be like. After all, we have seen this big boy with the C...

Japanese tuner Wald Inteational has finally released a preview of their latest Black Bison package, tailored for the BMW’s flagship sedan. The newWald BMW 7 Series styling package fits both G11 and G12 variants of the 7er which are the short and long wheelbase models respectively. This generation of the 7er has a unique and angry kind of design which seems to respond well to subtle improvements. But that is just what Wald BMW 7 Series is not, at least in its upcoming version. The tuner has done a diet version of this car which we will get to in a minute. What they are previewing here is a full body kit with completely revised bumpers and skirts and some old-fashioned wheels which ma...

Before you get too excited about the prospect of driving the all-new BMW X7Sports Activity Vehicle in teh coming year, we have to point out the first batch is, as the title says, pre-production models. These are basically production cars produced for real-world tests. Thefinal version will be released some time close to the end of 2018. So there is still about a year to go before you can have this ginormous BMW with its massive grilles and narrow eyes which gives it the look of a mutant sea creature. Mind you, the pre-production BMW X7 is still not final final in terms of design, which is why the test units will be heavily camouflaged as they travel around the world, putting the veh...

The new Lamborghini Urus SUV has not received, at least so far, the warm welcome the company was hoping it would. Some don’t like the way it looks. Some aren’t happy with the specs. And to some it is just not extreme enough. If you belong to the latter group, this custom BMW X6M gaished with all sorts of extra goodies may just be what you are after. Prepared by BMW Abu Dhabi’s tuning arm, this X6M features a full assortment of very high-end aftermarket parts. The way they are put together, too, is something to savour, since the parts match each other nicely and create a whole that does not really look aftermarket. It almost fulls you into thinking it’s come out of the factory wearin...

BMW might be losing the extreme offroad game to Mercedes-Benz, but their tuners are not going down without fight.

It’s called Manhart MHX6 Dirt² and it’s a 900-hp monster capable of conquering […] The post Manhart MHX6 Dirt² Is BMW X6M’s Offroad Cousin appeared first on Motorward....

Just a few weeks after the hardtop, Chevrolet unveiled the2019 Corvette ZR1 Convertible at this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show. The $124K drop-top supercar astonishes the L.A. crowd with its unashamedly brash looks and its colossal 755 horsepower output. That makes the2019 Corvette ZR1 Convertible one of the performance bargains of the century when it hits the market next year. The 755 hp output gives the car a top sped of212 mph (341 kph). You wouldn’t want to try it with the roof down though, as the air will almost certainly pulls your hair off. Chevy of course waxes lyrical about the ZR1’s aerodynamics and mentions thestanchion-mounted Low Wing andadjustable High Wing as the ...

Everybody in the car world was waiting to see the newBMW i8 Roadster in production form. And although we have to admit the whole thing was a bit anti-climactic given the build-up, the hybrid sports car is still a hugely desirable thing. The new model, and the latest version of the i8 Coupe, benefit from increased range as well. Theoptimized BMW eDrive powertrain with its turbocharged three-cylinder and electric motors delivers369 hp in theBMW i8 Roadster – and of course the 2018 Coupe, but it’s hard to focus on that with the Roadster in the center of things. That power propels theBMW i8 Coupe from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds while the i8 Roadster accelerates in 4.4 second.Both ...

But what they have in store this time takes the cake in terms of beauty and overall excellence. This 2017BMW M760Li Individual is dressed in a very prettyLong Beach Blue and “tricked-out” with some after market parts. That means this 7er is unique on at least three or four levels. First off, there is the fact that it’s a BMW M760Li Individual. Even if we don’t take into account the Individual part, the M760Li is itself a bit of a unico what with that titanic V12 that’s under its boet. The Individual treatment, meanwhile, adds exclusive styling features and equipment inside...
