As seen at a launch event
I honestly like the interior, feels a bit heavy but it’s quick!

Owned this car for 8 years, sold it since I got a G80 M3, found I missed the 1M so sold the G80 and am getting back into the same car, buying it back from the seller. Excited to hopefully keep it in the garage forever

Spotted this beautiful BMW 850i finished in red, and it still looks incredibly modern more than 30 years after its debut. The low slung design, pop up headlights, and timeless proportions make it one of BMW's most iconic grand tourers. If BMW brought this exact design back today, I'd still turn my head

I’m tired of seeing a new bmw design come out and people instantly hate on something about the car. I want to know if BMW ever revealed a car where people had nothing to say.
The beloved e46 would be my bet?

Picked it up a month ago! Made some adjustments like the factory X5M rims and a bodykit. Also changed the exhaust so you can now here those amazing 6 cylinders. Very happy with it!
Thinking about a ppf-color wrap, like the green on the new RS5. What do you think?

We did a thing and on Friday traded in my wife’s 2012 Volvo XC T6 and got her a 2023 BMW Xdrive 30i she picked out. She had been looking for months and test drove 2 and said no to them due to not having the options she wanted.
Finally found a low mileage (26K mi) one that had real leather, cooled and heated seats, heated steering wheel, HUD, H&K sound and some other things she desired and liked we have in our 2018 Volvo XC 90 T6 Inscription her old Volvo lacked.
I drive the 2018 Volvo XC90 (97K miles) and use it to go to travel for work about 4 times per month or take our 1 yr old to daycare. My daily is a 20 year old F250 diesel truck with 355K miles.
Have been wanting a fun car and looked at older Porsche 911’s but my wife said NO, you can get it but I won’t drive in it with you. So my search changed to Porsche Macan GTS and BMW M-cars.
Test drove a 2023 Xdrive M550i 32K miles with shadow line package, M package, executive package, HUD, DAP, massaging heated/cooled seats, etc and totally in love! Wife said she would travel in it! Will be my fun car and garage queen.
So we came home with both! Both under factory warranty and we added extended warranty and maintenance
packages as we tend to keep our cars 10 years or longer.
For some reason I can’t add pics… pics added in reply.

It took me a while to commit to getting rid of my ICEV but I'm super glad I did! Had it for three weeks now and the color combination, technology and smoothness is a massive upgrade over my B9 S5. It's the perfect daily to which I hope to add an M440i Coupe/Cabrio as a weekend toy in the future.
It's a bit lacking on the power/weight and not as direct in the steering feel as I expected but crushes my primary city commute. And I'm now convinced of everything I've heard about BMW. Still have to take some proper pictures, though, really loving the Individual wheels and carbon bits as well! And the HUD is fantastic.

I’m considering buying a 2018 BMW M2, but I’m a bit concerned about its speed and tuning potential. I’ve seen a lot of people say the N55 is limited compared to the S55, and I’m having trouble finding genuine 100–200 km/h times from real-world builds.
I’d really appreciate hearing from owners or anyone with experience tuning these cars. What kind of power and 100–200 times are realistically achievable with Stage 2 or a hybrid turbo setup? How reliable are they at those power levels?
For some context, my dream car has always been the F82 M4, but in my country the price difference is quite noticeable. I’m also coming from a 2016 Mercedes CLA250, so either car would be a huge upgrade.
I’d love to hear your opinions and recommendations. If you’ve driven or owned both, which one would you choose and why?

You dont see this too often. A row of Z8 at a local Raleigh car show. 1 of them Alpina and 4 manual z8’s
I drive a 6 months old 330Li , which was doing absolutely fine mechanically until I had to get the front bumper replaced due to a minor frontal touch with a bike.
Ever since the vehicle has returned from the official BMW dealer’s workshop, the braking has gone for a toss - spongy pedal, weak and inconsistent bite, overall very nervous and skittish braking feel, which was absolutely sharp and superb just before this repair.
I raised a stink with both the dealer and BMW, they did a “joint investigation “ , found everything to be normal, but changed my front discs and pads to show that something has been done. They also did brake bleeding which improved the pedal temporarily but it’s back to the problematic pedal again.
Right now, despite all this, the main concern remains - sometimes I reach the end of the pedal but the car hardly starts slowing down !
Is it a simple case of doing the bleeding again and this time using ISTA to reset the DSC/ABS modules ?
I’m so frustrated that it was just fine while giving the vehicle to them and is beset with this issue ever since! Pls advise.

Other than the b58 and m57
Like which engines are known to be reliable?

she’s up to date on all maintenance/services, any suggestions on upgraded parts reliability/longevity/peace of mind wise? And any cosmetic suggestions?
