About

Steven is a manager with a BMW store, where he’s been for five years. He has been moonlighting as an auto journalist for nearly two years. A regular contributor to BMW enthusiast sites, he’s owned nearly a dozen BMWs and has been a car enthusiast since his youth, growing up around his father’s muscle car. He’s driven M5s on Circuit of the Americas, toured BMW’s facilities in South Carolina, and put down hot laps at the Performance Center track – so you could say he’s a pretty serious BMW enthusiast. He also enjoys Porsches, jazz, and short walks to the pub. Catch him on Instagram: @s55steven
