Both automakers and tech-giants alike see huge revenue and safety opportunities in the market of self-driving vehicles. That said, we have been waiting patiently to see when BMW would weigh in on the conversation.
When you think of words like, “green,” and “sustainable,” and “environmentally-friendly,” do your thoughts automatically go to BMW and movies? Not usually, right? Well, they might after you learn more about the Green Me Film Festival.

Here at Autohaus BMW, we’re big fans of the BMW i Series models, especially the pure-electric BMW i3, and we’re not the only ones. Recently BMW announced that it has won its bid to supply the LAPD with a fleet of 100 BMW i3 models.

Having first been introduced to showrooms way back when in 1975, the BMW 3 Series has served as an icon ever since. Recognized as the benchmark of its segment, the 3 Series has now arrived in to the 2016 model year and, we must admit, it does not disappoint. Available as a Sedan, Sports Wagon and a Gran Turismo, there's an ideal choice for each new car shopper among the 2016 BMW 3 Series lineup. Check it out in the video below:
On Sunday of this week, an open secret was finally confirmed by BMW: the 2017 BMW i3 will see its range increased significantly over the 2016 model year. While the 2017 model hasn’t quite released to American showrooms, it is expected late this fall, and it’s going to change the way you think about electric driving. Check it out below!

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:
By now it should be quite clear: the plug-in hybrid powertrain of the X5 xDrive40e is its distinguishing characteristic. Teaming a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor and battery…

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.
