A subcompact luxury SUV sure to turn heads for all the right reasons, the 2016 BMW X1 has already made quite a name for itself in the two short years since its market launch.

 

What's the current iteration bring to the table, though? Pair up with our pals at MotorWeek to find out. Their evaluation of the X1 is as follows:

At the heart of this utility hauler, a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine holds court with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Producing a potent 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, the X1 additionally receives the xDrive all-wheel…

When it comes to driving an all-electric vehicle like the BMW i3, one thing we hear a lot from our customers here at BMW of Salem is the worry that they won’t find adequate charging stations when they’re out and about, and sometimes this fear can keep a would-be electric driver from becoming an actual EV driver. This next video features Lou, a real-life BMW i3 driver, who will show you the insider scoop on how to locate charging stations, how to connect to the charger, and how to monitor your car’s charge remotely, too.

BMW's second generation 2016 X1 has found its place: as a sophisticated but imminently capable compact crossover - perfect for city dwellers - or anyone who needs a sport-ute that can fit through a tight spot. Auto critic Tom Voelk recently reviewed the X1 for The New York Times.

Powered by a 2-liter, 4-cylinder engine with a twin-scroll turbocharger providing 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque early in the rev range, there’s a touch of lag off the line. It goes from 0 to 60 miles an hour in 6.3 seconds, according to BMW. Drive modes range from…

Few models can match the reputation of the BMW 3 Series. On sale since 1975, it has since revolutionized the entry level sports sedan segment, and the competition have been struggling to catch up ever since. They'll be hard pressed, especially since the 3 Series has an unparalleled 22 consecutive listings on Consumer Report's 10 Best list, and the 2016 model is better than ever.

In a world of lavish midsize luxury sedans, the BMW 5 Series has always been one to beat. With state-of-the-art technology aiding in safety, comfort, and convenience, mixed with a performance experience that has remained unmatched for generations, it's no wonder this model stands out so far ahead of the pack.

We all know about BMW brand performance, precision engineering, and outstanding capability, but how much do you know about BMW’s all-electric offering, the i3? Unlike its hybrid cousin, the BMW i8, the i3 uses no gasoline, and therefore has zero tailpipe emissions. Tailpipe emissions might be one of the only things you’ll be excited to know your vehicle definitely does not offer. But there’s even more to know about what the i3 does offer. Check it out below!

 

When BMW unveiled the first-ever M2 last year, enthusiasts and journalists were excited yet skeptical. In their eyes, it had been a while since anything like the original 1M coupe had ruled the roads, with the M4 being the only other viable two-door option. Well, we've got news for you, friends. The M2 is a beast on road and track alike.

 

It was in a post just last month that we at BMW of Salem first introduced you to our flagship full-size sedan, the all-new 2016 BMW 7 Series.

 

That said, we do hope you decide to join us again today, as we've more informational tidbits about the 7 Series to share.

 

Pair up with Autotrader personality, Jabari Jones, as he takes this standout sedan for a spin:

If pulse-pounding performance is what you're after, the 7 Series' range-topping trim -- the 750i xDrive -- is happy to oblige.

 

Motivated by a turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine, the 750i xDrive makes…

Chances are you’re not a racecar driver. We don’t know for sure, but we’ll wager it. These next two guys are just like you: not racecar drivers. Watch rugby players Tom Wood and Alex Corbs compete against one another to drift the BMW M4 around the track while they try to knock down all the targets. They’re driving on a closed course, so don’t take this to the streets.

 

Will @tomwood678 take the win or can @AlexCorbs push the #BMW #M4 to the limit? https://t.co/8NBkPJqU5Bhttps://t.co/nIN0uKysiQ
