We all pretty much know that horsepower is the unit of measure of power for our automobile engine. What many of us do not know, however, is what that term really means or how it was even thought up. It goes back to the late 18th century when James Watt was trying to sell steam engines.

Watt needed a way to convey to his customers how the power in those engines compared to a workhorse, which was the mode of transportation at that time. He noted that a mill-horse could move approximately 33,000-foot-pounds a minute, and thus labeled that…

Transporting food items demands more care than delivering presents. You need to mindful of sanitation, temperature, quality and other factors when driving with the food for the holiday. To be specific, High-risk foods such as cooked rice, dairy products, salads, hot foods, and ready-to-eat food are the one that demands a lot of considerations since they are more prone to contamination and bacteria. When driving with food, think about the following:

BMW's 3-series has long been an automotive benchmark. Other cars have chased the winning blend of performance and luxury the 3 series offers drivers. Add in the fact that the 3 Series delivers impressive fuel economy - especially on models equipped with a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, and you have a car that comfortably and stylishly seats four to five and takes them where they need to go in luxury, with speed... Let's face it. The 3 Series is the automotive equivalent of the popular kid…

The enthusiast wish list for the sixth generation BMW M5 was a long one, and one of the many asks was increased engagement and control. With a great starting point in the latest 5 Series, the M Division set to work—adding larger brakes, retuned suspension, and for the first time ever, an M-tuned xDrive all-wheel drive system.

The BMW 6 Series Lineup currently contains a Convertible variant and Gran Coupe variant. Now, however, there is a perfect new BMW for car shoppers looking for a brand new BMW that combines the practicality of an SAV with the efficiency of a sedan and the seductive styling that only 6 Series models can offer.

These days, driving a luxury SUV isn’t just about the upscale trappings and features, but also adding a zest of fun into the equation. BMW has its own take, which is why their SUVs are billed “Sport Activity Vehicles.” But where the 2017 X1 has plenty of performance fun, it also imbues quite a bit of utility into the equation.

Take a close look at the 2018 BMW X3, and the differences between it and the current model become more apparent. The character lines are more chiseled, the air intakes up front wider, and there’s LED lighting elements on both front and rear fascias. But as an all-new model, most of the most pertinent changes are under the skin.

The BMW X5 runs the gamut from an efficient luxury family vehicle in xDrive40e guise, to outrageous performance beast mode in the 567-hp X5 M. Many, however, will find these more potent models a bit too excessive for their tastes. Yet if you’re looking for a performance balance of fun with function, we (and Autoguide) suggest the xDrive35i.

The all-new BMW 5 Series is here, and we’re pleased to say it remains one of the segment’s most engaging luxury sedans. With 335 horsepower offered in the 540i, and a still-potent 248 available with the 530i, not to mention an agile and nimble driving character, it will delight many even without any modification. But if you want to add additional packages, they can really make this sedan your own.
