40 years of the BMW Art Car collection – when BMW becomes a painting canvas

It all started in 1975 when Alexander Calder did something unheard of. At the request of racer and art lover Herve Poulain, he painted the BMW 3.0 CSL model that competed in the 24-hour Le Mans race. With this, he began to write a very special chapter in BMW history, as the 3.0 CSL is considered the first car of the BMW Art Car collection, which still fascinates art and car lovers 40 years later. On this occasion, BMW collected all 17 such cars in a pile, which are the work of 16 artists who walked the Caldera route. Among them is Andy Warhol.

The Sprintbeemer motorcycle - the king among "drag fairy tales"

They drank it all the way at Edelweiss Motorsport, and added a nitro (NOS) drive for a little more flight.

BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage – a concept in memory of its famous and timeless predecessor

With the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage concept study, the Bavarians pay homage to their famous predecessor from the 70s. In the case of the modern version of the CSL, which stands for "Coupé Sport Leichtbau" or "coupe, sport and light construction", the latter features are the justification instead of aluminum - together with the Plexiglas, it reduced the weight of the original model by around 200 kg compared to version 3.0 CS - used carbon fiber. These are considered the "aluminum of the 21st century" when it comes to shedding car weight.

BMW honestly rolled up their sleeves because they waited too long with hybrid vehicles. This time, however, in Geneva, we were impressed with the first production car of the BMW brand, which has hybrid technology. They didn't hold back and chose their off-road flagship BMW X5, labeled xDrive40e, for their first venture into the world of crossovers. And once again proved that they can do better than the competition. This is evidenced by the two announced data on the extremely low combined consumption of 3.3 liters and the exceptional stable with 313 horses.

The segment of medium MPVs is hot, as it has not been for a long time. Especially since the never-before-seen BMW recently entered the segment, which will also offer buyers a seven-seater version of the 2 series active tourer in the summer.

It also got a trunk measuring from 605 to 1,905 liters in volume.

City test: BMW X4 – sports coupe & SUV

The X4 is the continuation of the story with the X6, with which BMW opened a new sub-segment of a crossover between an SUV and a sports coupe and now extends this concept to the mid-size class. Compared to its bigger brother, it has a few less noses, but it's still a feast for the eyes, and considering the similar spaciousness and usability, I would definitely prefer the first one.
