Now here’s a juicy tid bit for you Bimmerphiles amongst us. Word ‘round the Web is ze Germans are thinking about plopping an oil burner behind the headlights of the next M3. Before you go and get your lederhosen in a twist, just think of the possibility. Die hard fans of the mighty M cried [...]
In the halls of BMW lore, the debate over which M3 is best of them all is never-ending. My personal opinion? The E30 takes the cake. Sure there are faster rigs out there, cars that are more comfortable and more powerful, but the E30 M3 is my cup of tea up one side and down [...]
MW Design has gone ahead and saved us the embarrassment of making a dark-side reference with its newest take on the BMW M3 Coupe. The Canadian Tuner has slathered the BMW’s mighty M in a black and red paint scheme, complete with dark rollers. So far performance comes from the stock 4.0-liter V8. MW Design [...]
I. Chevrolet released some shots of a super-sexy cop-spec Camaro. The modern-day Blues Mobile has all the trimmings including sneaky red and blues in the headlights and a pushbar. Awesome. [0-60]
I. Chris Bangle has quit BMW. The 52 year-old design chief responsible for forever-altering BMW has left to pursue other interests outside of the automotive industry. BMW and Bangle claim that he will remain strongly associated with the Bavarians, but that may just mean we aren’t going to see things change much once he’s gone. [...]
For many years people have been watching the ever-escalating, mostly-German horsepower wars and wondering “where’s it going to end?” First 400 hp was considered epic. Then that became de rigueur and 500 horses was the new black. Today (if you live in Europe) you can get twin-turbo V10 Audi station wagons that make (basically) 600 [...]
We’re sorta gobsmacked as to if this is wonderful or terrible news. Wonderfully terrible? Let’s dissect. As everyone knows, the greatest M car of all time is the E39 M5. Say any different and people will think you’re weird. And what made the E39 M5 so good besides the stealth, 6-speed manual and handling? Right, it’s hand [...]
Looks like the fine folks of BMW’s ALMS team have been putting their new toy through its paces at Road Atlanta. The GT2 M3 was spotted darting around the Georgia track last weekend. The car’s competition debut should be in next year’s 12 hours of Sebring in March. Until then, the BMW boys and girls [...]
Freelance superhero Nick Hall has reviewed the Veritas RS III for Edmunds’ InsideLine. The Veritas is the result of serious elbow grease from a pack of seven German engineers trying to make the most insanely awesome car on the road. The name borrows from a BMW-based racer from back in olden times, and in good [...]
Don’t remember Brabham? Here’s a slice of history for you. The company built open-wheel racers from the ‘60’s through the ‘80’s and ran its own Formula 1 team. The guys pulled down four driver and two manufacturer world championships during their time on the tarmac. What really takes the bad-ass cake is Jack Brabham’s 1966 [...]
