The BMW E46 M3 is primarily regarded as one of the best all-around M3s in the model’s storied existence. That’s primarily due to the slick six-speed manual and high-revving S54 straight-six engine,...
The gasoline-powered world that we know and love is in its waning moments. The naturally-aspirated engine is nearly dead, and we’re only about a decade away from the end of new internal combustion engines. Supplementing the inevitable demise of combustion is the growing electric vehicle market....
Automotive manufacturers are constantly searching for the exclusive 'next big thing' they can use to sell their cars. Sometimes it's more of a sales gimmick, like the four-wheel steering systems that were briefly popular in the 80s and 90s, but others prove their worth and stand the test of time....
When it comes to high-performance BMWs, the M-series always takes the spotlight; yet BMW produced a wide range of capable vehicles without the "M" badge. These five BMWs are some most fun (and reliable), that you can purchase today—whether they sport the "M" badge or not. BMW E90, E92, E93...

For decades, BMW has prided themselves on providing cars that drive better than the competition. A failing steering rack in your E9X or E8X can significantly affect the driving feel and performance, as well as your ability to keep safe control of the vehicle. If you hear and feel a loud clunk...
It takes a strong will and a love for BMWs to own and operate a vehicle with an N54 engine every day. Powerful and sonorous, its performance positives are often balanced by its small laundry list of issues that could turn it into a big paperweight. They're generally the kinds of problems that...
If you haven't performed an oil change on your BMW in a while, you might be in for a surprise the next time you do with BMW's switch from 5W-30 to 0W-30. Here at FCP Euro, we love LIQUI MOLY products. If you haven't been converted quite yet, it's time you give them a try. However, we do...
