“Celebrate Your Car” Day: Calling all Z4 Drivers!
Since the Z series vehicles don’t follow the standard BMW naming convention, I had to come up with a way to accomodate them. So, since “Z” is the 26th letter of the alphabet they’ll be celebrated on the 26th day of their respective number month. So since today is the 26th day of the 4th [...]

I missed last week for a Case of the Mondays question, sorry about that. I’m back this week though, so let’s get to it! This week I’ve decided to make the question more personal. What’s your favorite picture of your own BMW? Everyone loves to show off their cars, let’s be honest. We put a [...]
Restored 1956 BMW 502 Cabrio V8
Last night’s BMWCCA National Capital Chapter social turned out another beautiful restoration: a 1956 BMW 502 Cabrio with a 2.6L V8.

It was fully restored, complete with Colorado [...]
Every BMW 3 Series has 2,500HP…In Its Brakes
This was published on Jalopnik, and was such a cool statistic that I just had to reblog it. Apparently in response to the recent Toyota recall situation, BMW engineers decided to calculate the braking power of the 3 series. According to Jalopnik: “The engineers arrived at the 2,500 HP number after measuring the car’s 60-0 [...]
Case-of-the-Mondays Question – Engine Time
For this week’s “Case-of-the-Mondays” question, we get a bit more technical. Last week was a simple question of what your favorite BMW vehicle is. This week I’d like to drill a bit deeper into the build of BMWs, and focus on engines. What do you think is the best production BMW engine of all time? [...]
