Respectable Marque still...
BMW is technologically advanced and no question about their engines.
Many automakers copied their iDrive concept and they had nice voice command features that actually works, like in my 535i and 650Ci.
I always remember the ad where Lexus LS-460 was able to parallel park by itself....now Ford can do that too...
I'm a little worry about higher end cars getting into way too much electronics...heard the first few years of Cayenne and Panamera were nightmares for the Porsche service department.
Now their new interior consoles works reliably, and looks very good.
Nice talking to you, Patrick.

2014 Los Angeles Auto Show: BMW
BMW. The ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE. BMW did not provide the Ultimate display at the LA Auto Show, but did celebrate the two world premieres of the X5M and X6M. These two cars are the latest iterations of the high-performance M-Motorsport Division at BMW. T...
I have to see them in the flesh, but the I8....
I saw it in the Streets a few week ago, and wow, it is really a surprising car... I still have to get used to the idea to use a hybrid car, though... But the shape of the body, the noise of the engine... Well, it got me thinking... Best, Nicolas
You lucky man...
Wow, envy you getting to see those cars now. Still undecided by the X5M or X6M. Usually - always the X5 for practicality...but that’s probably more adaptable to the standard X5 and X6's. The M versions you buy for the ultimate experience - and its my opin...
Thanks for sharing your car again Bent!
I personally find the X6 to look very strange and high profile. Since I like to be incognito, I'd probably prefer the more subtle X5.
I never liked the Alpina rimms on the 6 and 7 series
I find them too conservative. Is it only me? - AT
I think they look good...
But they're really hard to clean... All those spokes would be a nightmare for someone like me who cleans my own car entirely by hand without using harsh chemicals to clean the wheels. In general, multi-spoke rims are supposed to be more "luxurious" than s...
As a current owner of the f13 M6
am I the only one not entirely impressed with the Alpine 6 series? Albeit I do like the 7 series alpina, Maybe the car will grow on me when seen in the flesh. Thank you for the photos
My thoughts on the Alpina B6...
What are you not impressed about? The aesthetic look? The performance? The whole car? I find the aesthetics of the B6 to be intentionally not impressive. It's for someone who wants a more incognito look. Aesthetically I love the M6, with its really deep f...
M6 and i8, Alpina B6 are all nice...just pity the Client Advisors...
now they have to remember all these models. Used to be 3, 5, 6, 7 series, X5, and some engine variations. Today, it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, i3, i8 .....what else? I still prefer my good old days of BMW 330Ci, X5 V8, 535i, 650Ci.....
Regarding Bangle...
Admittedly, when I first saw the 2002 BMW 7 series with the new Bangle design, I thought it was a weird looking thing. A space ship with weird iDrive control. A complete departure in a fundamentally conservative executive-class car world. Fast forward tod...

Agreed..
And not only are cars getting more sophisticated with electronics, Mercedes-Benz now has a car with a special suspension that will even move to different positions in a corner on their new S-Class coupe. This is different from Magic Body Control, this is ...
