It seems as if everyone these days is either going electric or has expressed interest in environmentally friendly alternatives to the common drive. The Los Angeles Police Department is among one of the latest in the news to go electric. In fact, BMW of North America recently announced in a press release that it will supply the LAPD with 100 BMW i3 vehicles.

Drivers looking for a coupe a little bit bigger than the 2 Series with all of the potency that made the old 3 Series two-door of yore so sought after, yet dialed up--we have quite the winning proposition. Meet the 2016 BMW 4 Series--a two door that offers some pretty impressive beast mode on top of its luxurious finishing.

Very few luxury sedans have the reputation of performance and prestige as the BMW 3 Series. For over forty years, this model has been the go-to for entry level luxury sedan buyers all around the world, and its momentum hasn't slowed one whit.

BMW is doing very interesting work on hybrid vehicles, as evidenced by the 2016 BMW i3, an electric subcompact that has a gas engine available as an optional add-on. AutoGuide recently reviewed the i3 and liked its great range and innovative styling. Click "play" on the video clip below to watch the full report.

The i3's 450-pound lithium-ion battery pack sends power to a rear-mounted electric motor producing 170 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. As equipped, the car is capable of traveling 81 miles on a single charge. AutoGuide suggests that those looking for a bit more range…

Should you find yourself scouring the stacked-to-the-rafters sports coupe segment for your next daily driver, you buds at Rick Hendrick BMW Charleston would like to throw you a bone:

The all-new 2016 BMW M2 is nothing short of a must-see.

Wondering why we're so emphatic in our endorsement of this rookie ride? Then, tag along with Kelley Blue Book Senior Associate Video Editor, Zach Vlasuk, in the clip below. He's here to explain everything:

Loaded with tech-centric goodies and gadgets, the singular trim level of the M2 is altogether uncompromising.

Inside, outside and under the hood, the new 2016 BMW 750i xDrive is built for a pure luxury driving experience. Auto writer Tom Voelk of The New York Times recently spent some time behind the wheel of BMW's flagship offering.

Starting from the sumptuous and expansive rear seating area, the 750i succeeds in giving the backseat passenger a sense of executive control and total relaxation.
