In both the construction and use of the all-electric BMW i3, the German automaker neither wastes, nor leaves its drivers wanting for a more luxuriously appointed ride. How, you ask? Not only is the i3 an incredibly innovative product in and of itself, but BMW knows that the very process of building these vehicles is of equal importance to the final result.

That's why both the i3 and i8 are assembled in a world-leading sustainable automotive plant in Germany...

We know they say life is a winding road, full of twists and turns, progress and missteps, but we're pretty sure we've never seen anything quite like this...check out the latest photo to be posted to the official BMW Instagram account and check out the most epic winding road we've ever laid eyes on.

It's always exciting to see BMW coming out with cutting-edge concept vehicles. Because while we can't know for certain if or when we will ever see these exact models in our BMW of San Antonio showroom, or out on the streets of San Antonio, what we can be sure of is that elements or the ideas behind these concepts are sure to be trickled down into vehicles that we will be able to get our hands on in the foreseeable future.

Or, in the case of the BMW X5 with eDrive, the time is now.

When you think about improved automotive visibility, chances are don’t think that fewer rearview mirrors would be the solution. Then again, BMW didn't get to where it is today by doing what was expected of them. In the brand's latest i8 concept, the Bavarian automaker has gotten rid of blind spots in perhaps one of the most unexpected manners possible: by going mirrorless.

Driving your favorite sports car, or even sports-oriented sedan in the winter months can be a challenge. With potholes, frost heaves, and cold-patch pavement creating challenging obstacles, only the finest of suspension systems will do.

Over the years, the BMW M3 has been considered one of the finest examples of a sports car ever made. With its simple formula of combining razor-sharp handling, accessible world-class power, and everyday usability, the M3 by BMW has been an automotive success story that has only continued to improve over time.

The passion of the original M3 lives on with the new 2016 iteration. Check out the video below for some throwback footage and details on the previous E46 M3 and how those technologies have advanced into the modern incarnation available today.

Many cars these days look great on paper. They boast impressive fuel economy, admirable dimensions and cargo capacity, and even claim to deliver an engaging driving experience.

However, BMW enthusiasts such as ourselves here at BMW of San Antonio know that while a car might look good on paper, it won't necessarily translate to a vehicle that's capable of delivering thrilling performance.

Sometimes, silence speaks louder than words. Or, in the case of the first-ever all-electric BMW i3, silence speaks louder than a revving engine. Utterly revolutionary in its engineering, from its Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) framework which is roughly fifty-percent lighter than steel, to its aerodynamic shape, to its sustainable and tech-savvy interior, the i3 may be one whisper-quiet automobile, but it will have you singing its praises at the top of your lungs.
