The BMW group recently announced that it has won its big to supply the LAPD with a fleet of 100 BMW i3 electric vehicles, a great step toward a greener Los Angeles and great news for the BMW brand. There was a trail period during which the BMW i3 was tested alongside other electric vehicles (EVs), but the i3 was ultimately selected over the competition.

If you’re a true performance vehicle connoisseur, then you’re going to want to pay attention to this next video. Continuing in the tradition of other performance models, BMW has announced that there will be a special edition BMW M4 limited to 700 units meant to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the BMW M3. The new special edition will be called the BMW M4 GTS, and it’s the first high-performance special edition in the M3/M4 model range that will be available in the North American market, so you could be one of the lucky 700! Check it…

”Going green” has never been easier or more convenient, because BMW has just formally confirmed that the 2017 BMW i3 will be getting a big boost in terms of range and battery capacity, and with range anxiety destroyed, that means more gasless miles traveled. The 2017 model i3 is set to release late this fall, so there’s still some time before it arrives in our showroom, but you can check out the video below for some more information.

There was already plenty of excitement over the impressive BMW model lineup, but in a recent blog post we generated more with a quote from Hunter S. Thompson and a picture of a beautiful BMW convertible; and of course we're not going to stop now. The 2015 BMW M3 has 425 horsepower, 406 pound-feet of torque, a 3.0-liter engine, and also gets a top speed of 156 miles per hour, and oh yes, it stars in Mission: Impossible 5 - Rogue Nation.

We have included a video of Simon Pegg and Tom Cruise talking about how well the cars…

Even if you're brand-new to the idea of a luxury driving experience, there's no doubt that you understand how important the design of a vehicle is in terms of driving comfort. The exterior of a vehicle must be as eye-catching as possible with a sleek appearance that keeps you bragging for years and years. Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design, talk about the design of the 2016 BMW 7 Series in a new video from the automaker and we think your jaw will drop once you hear and see all he has to offer. You…

After seeing this video of drivers at the BMW Performance Center, you can be sure of what our three genie wishes would be:

• black leather driving gloves
• cool-guy sunglasses
• and to be transported to the BMW Performance Driving School for their driving program

This is no ordinary driving school, with beat-up old out-of-production sedans, bumper stickers, and cantankerous old teachers who smell of moth balls. This Driver's Ed is like nothing you've ever…

It's awful hard to argue with an auto as awesome as the 2015 BMW 228i.  After all, it ticks all of the boxes on our checklist for a sexy, sports coupe: sensational styling, awesome amenities and, of course, prodigious power.  Scope this snazzy stunner in the clip below:

At the core of the 228i is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that's good for a generous 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque.  Mated…

The Consumer Electronics Show is officially wrapped today, which means we get to reflect on the technology we saw coming from this great event. We noticed a number of automakers flaunting their cars of the future, but the trouble we saw is these cars aren't actually available in the States just yet.

Not like the BMW i3.

The i3 is the car of the future, today. It has the innovative features you'd expect…

The best kind of gift is not the one that comes in a small package, or the one with the biggest bow. No, the best kind of gift is something we can share.

This year, find the gift that keeps on giving at Bert Smith BMW where our new BMW i3, a vehicle which runs solely on its electric motor, is constructed with sustainable, reusable materials such as Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic. Its eDrive Motor…

Recently, BMW documented stories that are pretty incredible, and we've seen several of them. In a recent video, they highlight the story of an Egyptian man who overcame so much to climb Mount Everest, and we have the video telling his story.

It can be easy to take for granted the opportunities we are given, and in the holiday season, it is especially good to remember this. While the man in this video did…
