Did you know that March 7th marked the 100th birthday of BMW? To celebrate, the BMW Museum is host an exhibition called "100 Masterpieces," which will be on display through September 3, 2017. The BMW website has more details.

Attendees of the Detroit Motor Show were recently introduced to the BMW M2, a new power player that won't be available for purchase until April or so. The car is much anticipated, as it promises to give its driver an incredible driving experience. Everything about this car, from the engine to the chassis balance to the steering response to the power-to-weight ratio, screams performance.
