If your BMW is in need of a part, there are two directions in which you could go to find one: the straight, reliable route towards OEM parts or the twisted, winding path towards aftermarket parts. We tend to think the first path is the best one as well as the easiest.

What are OEM parts?

Original equipment manufacturer parts are parts designed by the manufacturer for your type of vehicle. The same care and quality that went into your BMW also go into genuine OEM BMW parts, resulting in parts that are guaranteed to suit your vehicle the way…

We’ve already introduced regular readers of our blog to the shape and overall essence of the new 2017 BMW 5 Series, but as with every Ultimate Driving Machine, the devil lies in the details and the lengthy options sheet. Then there’s this car’s reputation as one of the most engaging and dynamic luxury sedans on the market—a fact that has only grown more true for 2017.

The level of driving pleasure and engagement found in sports sedans like the 3 Series, 5 Series, and 7 Series are nigh-impossible to dispute. If you find yourself needing something with a bit more utility, however, that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on driving dynamics. Just take a gander at the BMW X-line, which prioritizes sport sedan characteristics without shirking on utility.

BMW did it again at the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show. April 19 saw a first-ever BMW M4 CS unveiled. To what can we of supercar predilection look forward?

On the face of it, BMW M4 CS looks to be much more than the prospects suggested by a large, three-section air intake-studded front apron, long CFRP hood, and sizable wheel arches to wow lovers of muscle cars.
