A BMW i9 supercar was long discussed and debated and now it seems that the German based premium carmaker is apparently preparing the model for 2016.

This comes after the German media has launched some rumors, stating that the BMW i9 will be launched on the market in a couple of years, being the little brother of the i8 plug-in hybrid.

The model is aimed to compete against other hypecars like the McLaren P1, the Ferrari LaFerrari or the Porsche 918 Spyder.

In terms of visuals, the BMW i9 is rumored to sport a much more aggressive body style, larger unit under the hood, backed by a more powerful electric motor.

We might be talking here about a 3.0-liter six-cylinder unit under the hood, backed by an electric ranger, sporting more power than the i8`s 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged unit.

More details with the upcoming BMW i9 will be released perhaps at the the German carmaker will make an official announcement about its launch.

The upcoming 2016 BMW 7-Series was caught on its long wheelbase version on the Ring, while being put under heavy tests.

The video with the 2016 BMW 7-Series LWB is showcasing the model on the Ring, wearing some camouflage, which is a clear indication that the flagship sedan will come with important changes.

More than that, the video also reveals a slight image with the interior of the car, which will also come with some modifications, with the dashboard wrapped in camouflage as well.

What we know about the 2016 BMW 7-Series LWB high-end model, is that it will be standing on the fresh 35up platform, being built from high-strength steel, carbon fiber reinforced plastic or aluminum, which would make the car lighter with around 200 kg.

Under the hood, the 2016 BMW 7-Series will be powered by a tuned up 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder, or the new 4.0-liter V8 and the 6.0-liter V12.

More versions are rumored to come up, like the entry-level 2.0-liter four-cylinder or a plug-in hybrid, while an M version is not in discussion for the moment.

A brand new BMW M4 Coupe crashed today in Munich, Germany, eventually ending up in two trees, due to a 24-year driver that seemed to have lost control of the sportscar.

As seen in the photos, the driver was excessively driving the new BMW M4 Coupe and ended up in some trees, after losing control while trying to get through a corner.

Even if the BMW M4 Coupe model seems to be completely destroyed at the front side, the young and unexperienced driver managed to get away only with just minor injuries and taken to hospital for general investigation.

The new BMW M4 Coupe crashed is taking its power from the same 3.0-liter six-cylinder unit, also found on the M3 Sedan and M4 Cabrio, developing a great total output of 431 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque.

Imagine the power that it sports, as the BMW M4 Coupe is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds, the sportscar having a top electronically limited speed at 250 km/h.
