| BMW Exec Confirms Two-Cylinder Motorcycle Engine for i3 REx Posted: 22 Jan 2013 11:32 AM PST  A BMW official has confirmed that the range-extender engine to be offered as an option on the battery-powered i3 supermini will be a two-cylinder gasoline unit sourced from the brand's motorcycle division and not the upcoming, larger displacement 1.5-liter three-cylinder petrol engine developed for the Bavarian group's automobiles.

| Warranty Direct Reveals UK’s Least Reliable Engines, 3 German Brands Among the Worst Posted: 22 Jan 2013 09:12 AM PST  Cars are complicated machines made out of thousands of parts that, even when their owners take great care of them and follow the user and service manuals religiously, sometimes go wrong. After all, that's what warranties are for. Of course, warranties at some point expire, and while a light bulb or something equally minor may be of little concern, the engine is a completely different, much more scary and costly issue.
