It’s the start of another beautiful, cheerful holiday season here in Irondale, Alabama. As you head out to visit the homes of family, friends, or friends who feel like family, you’re encouraged to bring along your favorite holiday-inspired dishes. The BMW of Birmingham team is eager to provide several tips you may not have considered for holiday food transportation.

If you have a cardboard box or plastic tote that will fit your food dishes, you can use this as added protection for your upholstery in case something spills.

The BMW 8 Series is an acclaimed sports coupe BMW built from 1980 to 1999. It was based on the E24 6 series coupe the German automaker manufactured from 1976-1989. For nearly 20 years, BMW has had no 8-series variant. But more recently, it has been announced that a concept 8 series will be debuted during a world premiere at the Lodge at Pebble Beach. The big reveal will happen on Thursday August 17th.

While BMW has kept details about their i8 Roadster hidden, some images recently released give some more insight into the vehicle.

City traffic complicates every situation, especially parking. It always seems that the only parking spots are three lanes from where you are and nobody will let you over to get there in time. BMW seeks to end this problem by partnering with INRIX for On-Street Parking services in the BMW 5-Series sedan.

Are you searching for the perfect part to fix up your BMW? There are a lot of options to choose from, but only one ensures an absolutely perfect fit for your vehicle: original equipment manufacturer parts.

OEM parts are genuine, certified parts that are specifically designed for your type of vehicle. Because they are created by the same manufacturer that brought you your beloved BMW, you are guaranteed quality, a correct fit, and reliability.

Your BMW model is equipped with lots of features to help keep you safe on the road, but your tires reign over all of them. If your tires are in poor condition or under-inflated, you put yourself at risk and you sacrifice fuel economy.

Luckily, it's fairly simple to check and maintain the health of your tires with these steps:

Check tread depth with the Penny Test. Insert a penny into the tire tread. If you can see Lincoln's head, the tread is too worn. This presents a safety hazard and your tire should be replaced.

Looking at the all-new 2017 BMW 5 Series, it’s hard to tell the differences between it and the outgoing sixth generation model. Not only has the automaker offered a rare comparison of the two cars in the video above, but shows off the ways that the 2017 model’s design adds function to that winning form.

An entry-level model is one part fashion statement, one part experience. But for a lot of competitors, these models stop at the first impressions. The BMW M240i, however, offers more than just the expected “taster” of what the Ultimate Driving Machine is made of—so much so that you might find yourself hanging onto this car for years to come!

Spring has sprung. We just saw the passage of another Earth Day on April 22. And climate – for better, or worse – as well as population growth and the ideal use of resources seems to be on many minds. So it's rather fitting that the New York International Auto Show, on April 12, 2017, just saw fit to award the new 94-Ah 2017 BMW i3 the inaugural 2017 World Urban…
