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.

In St Louis, we have our fair share of gorgeous and sporty cars around town. But you know what they say: newer is always better.

And the 2016 BMW M2 is the newest heartthrob in the industry. But it can truly compete with other established performance cars in the legendary M lineup?

Just see what happens when the M2 competes against the well-known and stunning BMW M4 two-door. The results may surprise you.

It was in a post just last month that we at Autohaus BMW covered our SUV-segment staple, the X5.

Well, we hope you saved room for seconds, as we'd like to now turn our attention to the latest member of the X5 catalog, the all-new 2016 BMW X5 xDrive40e.

What makes this utility vehicle different than the next? Cars.com critic, Kelsey Mays, explains in the clip below:

"Impressive – in any format. This miniature mirrors the athletic charisma of the BMW X6 to perfection. It unifies opposites such as agility and elegance. Its sporty design continues in the interior. While it is spacious and comfortable, it is also marked by clear driver orientation. This miniature includes a remote-controlled driving function."

A shining example of a midsize luxury SUV done right, the 2016 BMW X5 is in many ways the lynchpin of its class.

This, of course, begs the all-important question of why.

Well, fortunately for us (and you), Auto Trader UK Senior Road Tester, Paul Bond, is here today to offer up his expertise. Take a look and listen:

Standard with the rear-wheel sDrive35i and all-wheel xDrive35i is a most brilliant base engine, a turbo 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder. This six-banger packs quite a punch, dishing out a dazzling 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque.

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.

Just beneath the snout of the entry-level 740i, a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine holds court with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Good for a downright glorious 320 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque, this engine's EPA-estimated fuel economy rating is pretty respectable, too, checking in at 24 mpg combined…

We at Autohaus BMW have a fun video to share with you all today, and as such, won't waste another moment getting right into it.

Even the base 428i is a beast, its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder turning out a terrific 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque. 0-to-60 mph occurs in only 5…

Here at Autohaus BMW, we've practically flipped our wig for our sporty sophisticate, the new-and-improved 2016 BMW 6 Series.

Get under the hood of the base 640i model and there you'll find a turbo 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder that boasts a beefy 315 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque. Gear shifts come courtesy of an accordingly athletic eight-speed automatic transmission.
