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.
If nature could choose, then it would certainly choose the emission-free BMW i3, and its wild side the hybrid sports car BMW i8. Both BMW i vehicles were presented for the first time in Slovenia at the Crystal Palace in BTC, where the first BMW i pop-up showroom was opened here.
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.

Read below how it fared in our test.

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.
Like the Bavarian Golf, the Enica is a well-known model to most people, with its characteristic BMW image, sporty driving characteristics and rear-wheel drive.

BMW's model range recently got another version, namely the series 4 gran coupe, which is sportier than the sedan series 3 and more useful than the sports coupe, in the form of the series 4.

The BMW Active Tourer is an extremely important vehicle for BMW and an entry into the world of family one-seaters.
