Serving as the automaker's most popular model as well as the primary exhibitor of brand quality, the BMW 3 Series family is certainly under a lot of pressure. Autohaus BMW is pleased to announce that the lineup is not only keeping up with the demand but pushing its power even further. For the 2012 model year, the 3 Series will display a whole new collection of entertainment and performance features.

While out on the road, drivers talking with drivers via smartphones can be quite distracting and potentially dangerous. However, vehicles talking with vehicles could just save a life...or at least a few minutes of time out of your day. What exactly are we talking about? Allow Autohaus BMW to cut the confusion and explain.

Most of you might have heard the rumors circulating around that the beloved 3 Series Touring Wagon was to be discontinued here in the U.S.  We at Autohaus BMW are pleased to announce that those rumors have been laid to rest.

There is one sports activity vehicle (SAV) that stands above the rest in terms of power. It is the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 equipped with a TwinPower turbocharged V8. Boasting 400 unbroken ponies of power, it's actually renowned as the most powerful hybrid worldwide.

Drivers in the U.S., however, only have a short time to rein in the rearing-and-ready-to-go ActiveHybrid X6. BMW has decided to stop selling the stereotype-breaking hybrid SAV in the U.S., for the 2012 model year.

Why are so many drivers in the Saint Louis area compelled to join the exclusive ranks of BMW ActiveHybrid…

The Frankfurt Motor Show didn't have a shortage of auto manufactures unveiling their EV's.  However, BMW had a slightly different stance than others which impressed the public to say the least.  We're talking about the new zero-emission, pure EV scooter by BMW.

The bike is defined by neon-green side panels and…

It wasn't long ago when the LED headlight was what everyone was talking about.  However, most automakers now use LED headlights.  In some way they're losing some of their effulgence - at least in the eyes of luxury consumers who take pride in exclusivity.

Rest assured though, BMW is developing the next evolution of headlamp technology. What do we mean by this? BMW has started to explore bringing laser technology to car headlights.

As far-out as the projects sounds, it also makes a lot of sense. Sure, LED headlamps are tremendously effective at shining through pitch black and fog…

In an increasingly complex world it's becoming more difficult to focus on the task at hand.  That's right we're talking about driving.  Many of you who are reading this right now have most likely sent a text while driving.  Hopefully, few of you are habitual offenders though.

To some of you offenders might seem like a strong word to use in this instance. But as you'll quickly learn, texting can be fatal and BMW is not shy about their anti-texting-while-driving stance. As they boldly state on their company website, "WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS THE TEXTING STOPS…

Not too long ago rumors began to circulate that BMW was creating an eco-friendly vehicle that boasted high performance and class.   So can this combination really exist? BMW believes it can and to prove it they launched the "i" division that will be dedicated to eco-friendly vehicles.  In preparing to officially launch the new i sub-brand, BMW recently premiered the pure-electric i3 concept in Frankfurt, Germany.

The new BMW i3 is engineered using BMW's design philosophy, "LifeDrive".  What does this mean? Well, the "Life", or exterior of the car, is built using lightweight, exceptionally strong carbon fiber. The "Drive…

For generations the BMW 3 Series has been the mid-sized sedan to beat. The 2011 model delivers between 230 horsepower (hp) and 320 (hp) and starts between $37,650 MSRP, depending on specific model and trim. However, for all those speed enthusiasts we at Autohaus BMW are pleased to announce that BMW is planning to offer 335i drivers even more power in the form of an all-new performance package.

The performance package will deliver 20 hp over its standard 300 hp and an additional 17 lb.-ft. of torque for a total of 317. This is almost equivalent to the…

The new BMW 520d EfficientDynamics, soon to be released in the U.K., will not only bring more options for BMW customers but will introduce a new technology. It will reset the benchmark for fuel efficiency and driving pleasure, offering the highest available in its class.
