The BMW i3 was a game-changer from the start, but the 2017 i3 is poised to shake up the EV market again with an increase in battery capacity and range that is sure to allay even the most ardent worries around range.

BMW has successfully produced a worthy sequel to its widely-loved M1 coupe: the all-new 2016 M2. Motor Trend recently put the new M2 through its paces and found a lot to love. It's a purist's BMW. Click "play" in the video clip below to watch the full report.
