Remember the extraordinary and the extravagant BMW 1M model, which used to enchant our eyes with exotic paintjobs and engine revving, before hitting the roads in full throttle?

Well, a BMW 1M all wrapped in a camouflage vinyl paintjob has recently popped the web, the model looking like being ready to go hunting. We are not sure whose work is this, but judging by the license plates, the BMW 1M was surely customized in Austria.

Apart from the extraordinary camouflage vinyl, the BMW 1M was also customized, the sports car now receiving some new body components, like carbon fiber front lip and mirror caps, rear diffuser and spoiler and a few more to make it stand out from the crowd.

To be a reminder, the BMW 1M is one of the company`s most wanted models, and in case you want to buy one, in the stock stage or fully loaded with different customizations, the sports car now costs more than the $47,300 original price.

Unfortunately, the BMW carmaker has decided to put the 1M on the stand, in June 2012, after being successfully sold in 6309 models, out of which 740 units in the United States and 220 units in Canada.

There is plenty of stuff to write about BMW in general, especially when the German manufacturer is launching or is about to launch new models on the go.

This is also the case of the debated new BMW X4 which has been recently caught in some spy photos, a CUV which began rolling out just a year ago.

As seen in the photos, the car is camouflaged at the rear end which is definitely a clue that this is the new X4. If you take a closer look, it appears that there are the same elements to share with the present X4, like the headlights and the rear roofline.

There are fresh news for the foglights, which have been modified, with updates at the rear of the car as well, since the camouflage may seem to indicate that.

Overall, the camouflaged CUV isn’t a lot different from the production model. As for its size, the car seems to be quite the same with another important flagship like the 3-Series Gran Tourismo, which might come in big style.

The midsize CUV is expected to be unveiled at the New York Auto Show in April and we will get our chances on finding more about the car then.

We are all familiar with the exquisite BMW F16 X6 that managed to win the hearts of every BMW lover. The second generation however, promises to deliver more in terms of design and high performance.

The 2015 F16 BMW X6 will be sharing its platform with the brand new F15 BMW X5. New headlights prolonged to the kidney grille, or a shark nose, are just a few of the upgrades that the car will bring.

What I didn`t like at the car is that the BMW F16 X6 retains the coupe-like roofline flowing into the trunk. Other than that, the design goes naturally, as the length was modified from 4877mm to 4910mm. With that, of course a much wider interior.

Concerning the power performances of the car, the F16 BMW X6 is expected to come with a twin-scroll turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel, as well as with a tri-turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine.

The petrol versions will be also receiving some upgrades to the 4.4-liter V8 with some enhances at the horsepower as well.

Let`s hope it will be the new star of the BMW’s SUV range.

A new BMW M5 is always going to be a car that will create a lot of expectations, a car that will meet those expectations and surpass them every time. This must be one of the reasons why the Bavarians are testing it round the Nurburgring so thoroughly.

With that in mind, every time a major manufacturer is putting an eagerly expected new model (and seriously now, is there anything you’re looking to more than the F10 M5?) somebody manages to snap some photos of it out in the wilds. Even though there is some camouflage on it, fanatics will still be able to tell other what to expect.

In the case of the 2011 F10 BMW M5 what you will be getting is a bulky M3 inspired front fascia, something expected as Adrian Van Hooydonk stated not long ago that future BMW’s will unify design in order to synchronize with global taste of the customers.

Other interesting looks of the car come with the hood that be one of those tight t-shirts that cover up a flexing muscle such as the massive engine that will be in the new M5 and the wheels this car is running on. Not bad, not bad at all.

Leaving looks aside, i have to say i’m quite thrilled at how flat the car is throughout this bend and how well it hits the apex, BMW will keep the M5 as a leader i’d say.

The post More spyshots of the 2011 BMW M5 appeared first on BMWCoop | BMW Blog, BMW News, BMW Reviews.

We know the next generation of BMW X3 is destined to come out in 2011 and it is already out on the streets in disguise.

What we don’t know is just what kind of attraction a new BMW can generate, even for somebody who isn’t a petrolhead and has no idea how the world of camouflage and spy shots works.

The next BMW X3 was in its normal expected “suit” and parked on the Upper West Side yesterday after the suspiciously looking black and white vehicle with a tarp over it started while the driver enjoyed a picnic with his girlfriend.

In true form with the terrorist craze in America the passer by who noticed this called the Police and notified them that a BMW SUV parked in front of the Museum of Natural History on Central Park West may be containing a bomb.

It took the NYPD bomb squad several hours to examine the vehicle and eventually wound up smashing the rear and side passenger windows of the vehicle in order to inspect it. Authorities said they were surprised to see that the car’s interior was also covered with tarp.

The driver was eventually identified and he was contacted in order to clear up the case and, apparently, he was Martin Birkmann, a BMW brand manager and test driver who stated that the car must have been running as he may have mistaken the buttons he pressed on the remote start of the car.

As a result of this, BMW get some free advertising for the X3 and we get to know that beside the new engines and whatever else is traditional with a new car we will also getting a remote start option within the new toys that will be on the car.
