The handsome and imposing BMW i8 really changed the game when it stepped into the ring with its eDrive technology, becoming one of the most impressive hybrid vehicles around. The same technology that sits inside the i8 has made its way to the BMW X5 eDrive, delivering a new kind of power to the handsome Sports Activity Vehicle.

New love is a funny thing. One moment, you're moving along, minding your own business, when -- bam! -- it floors you with the force of an 18-wheeler.

Such was our response here at Hendrick BMW Northlake upon first meeting our spanking-new sports coupe, the 2016 BMW M2.

Might it have a similar effect on you? Join Kelley Blue Book Senior Associate Video Editor, Zach Vlasuk, in the clip below to find out:

Just when everything's going swimmingly (you got the car all packed up, the kids aren't bickering, and you didn't miss the exit to the beach house), that's when the hiccups seem to happen: you get a flat tire or you run out of gas. That's where BMW Roadside Assistance comes in.

It seems to us at Hendrick BMW Northlake that our esteemed German automaker really outdid itself with its radically reimagined full-size sedan, the 2016 BMW 7 Series. And, in doing so, it raised the bar not only for itself but for the entire segment, as well.

And we're certainly not the only ones who feel this way. Evidently, Auto Trader UK Senior Road Tester, Paul Bond, is pretty impressed, too. Watch him talk up this top-shelf transport in the video below:

No doubt the perfect pick for the performance enthusiast, the range-topping 750i xDrive trim is a beautiful beast…

"I was living in London with George and we would meet all of these great people including artists. As I got to know them better, I learned more about their work and got excited about it. This inspired me to collect."

At the Detroit Auto Show this week, we saw a lot of really great new ideas, concepts, and upgrades. But, something stood out from the rest.

Something that will likely revolutionize luxury sports cars in Charlotte: the 2016 BMW M2.

With a standard 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, good for 365 horsepower and 343 pound-feet of torque, with a sprint-time of 0 to 60 in as little as 4.2 seconds when paired with the available automatic transmission. However, for sport purists, the standard manual transmission can still get the job done in a tidy 4.2 seconds.

It may seem crazy, but here at Hendrick BMW Northlake we believe that there's nothing better than two new BMW models sitting side by side, and we now have proof in this photo featuring the BMW M Series times two. Take a look and let us know what you think; wouldn't it be great to see this every day?
