We were in Portugal driving the car today, and will have a full First Drive report next week. In the meantime, here are the major talking points...

Details of the update have just been released, and anyone who follows BMWs closely should know what to expect by now. Predictably, the headlights and taillights have been given a refresh, and the front and rear bumpers have been restyled. The outside mirror housings are of a new design, but other exterior changes will be difficult for most to spot. The interior also gets an update, basically receiving the new dashboard that the 3-series sedan and wagon got last year. A new engine has been added to the lineup as well.

In fact, we could give you a pretty long list of reasons why it’s one of the best engines in the world, and others agree—more than three years after its debut, the N54 is still winning awards left and right. But now there’s an N55, and supposedly, it’s even sweeter.

The street version was the epitome of the company’s “Ultimate Driving Machine” mantra, even though it only sported a 193-horsepower four-cylinder engine and 205-series tires. How times have changed—that’s all I can think as I buckle in behind the wheel of the latest M-tuned derivative from BMW, the 550-horsepower, twin-turbo V8-powered, all-wheel-drive 2010 X Thu, 10 Dec 2009 11:37:15 PST http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/road_tests/First-Drive-2010-BMW-550i-GT.shtml http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/road_tests/First-Drive-2010-BMW-550i-GT.shtml Road Tests Wed, 09 Dec 2009 15:17:41 PST http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/rrad/BMW-Signs-with-California-Superbike-School-for-2010-Rider-Training-Program.shtml http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/rrad/BMW-Signs-with-California-Superbike-School-for-2010-Rider-Training-Program.shtml Motorcycle Tue, 08 Dec 2009 15:12:13 PST http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/technical/Project-335d-Part-3.shtml http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/technical/Project-335d-Part-3.shtml Technical Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:53:46 PST http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/x/Next-BMW-X3-Will-Launch-With-Custom-Order-Capability.shtml http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/x/Next-BMW-X3-Will-Launch-With-Custom-Order-Capability.shtml X Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:42:00 PST http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/rrad/BMW-Unveils-Inline-Six-Concept-Cycle-at-EICMA.shtml http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/rrad/BMW-Unveils-Inline-Six-Concept-Cycle-at-EICMA.shtml Motorcycle Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:16:59 PST http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/5/Next-BMW-5-Series-Teaser-Emerges.shtml http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/5/Next-BMW-5-Series-Teaser-Emerges.shtml 5 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:26:01 PST http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/bmw/BMW-Releases-Teaser-Video-of-M3-GTS.shtml http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/bmw/BMW-Releases-Teaser-Video-of-M3-GTS.shtml BMW Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:11:39 PST http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/mw/T-Pain-Drives-a-BMW-335d.shtml http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/mw/T-Pain-Drives-a-BMW-335d.shtml MWerks Fri, 23 Oct 2009 08:25:20 PST http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/sport/Race-Report--2009-Brazilian-Grand-Prix.shtml http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/sport/Race-Report--2009-Brazilian-Grand-Prix.shtml Motorsport Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:09:22 PST http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/bmw/BMW-Foundry-the-World-s-First-Emissions-Free-Facility.shtml http://www.mwerks.com/artman2/publish/bmw/BMW-Foundry-the-World-s-First-Emissions-Free-Facility.shtml BMW Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:19:52 PST
