If you were wondering why the sheer number of customized BMW M2 Coupes by different aftermarket shops, the answer is quite simple: it comes with the perfect aerodynamics and body styling cues, which make it easy to customize both at the exterior as well as underneath the skin.

The last time we have heard about a fine-tuned BMW M2 Coupe was about a week ago, the top of the line from 2-Series receiving some nice body aero parts from Hamann, along with a rear muffler, part of a more thorough project yet to be unveiled.

This time, the gorgeous BMW M2 Coupe is the subject of another interesting project carried out by Akrapovic. In fact, the model looks so hot with the tuner`s exhaust system that it was put for a real show in a commercial.

We are not going to spoil all the fun, but rest assure that the video is mind-blowing and focuses both on the car as well as on the Akrapovic`s exhaust. In fact, it should be a natural connection between the two of them, otherwise, there would be a complete disaster.

All Akrapovic exhaust systems are high-end and made of the most reliable materials, providing each model with an extremely aggressive growl and improved power. This one seen here is also made from titanium, meaning that it is more lightweight and eliminates corrosion down the line. And the system does raises the car`s power by 9 horsepower and 7.2 Nm of torque.

In case you own an M2 Coupe and want some impressive engine sounds, then I suggest you head towards the tuner`s stand and let them take care of it!

The 2016 Super Bowl has just begun and a lot of carmakers are rushing in to display their latest models in different commercials, also involving superstars around the world. Since this is America`s biggest sporting event, BMW`s main subsidiary MINI has also come up with an innovative ad.

The British based MINI manufacturer, presented a commercial with its latest Clubman edition. The 30 second add is looking to “defy labels” when it is presented during the third quarter of the game.

The 30 second add showcases different personalities defining the car from their own perspective. We get to see Serena Williams stating that “this is the chick car,” or Abby Wambach relating to a “gay car.”

Other appellatives also follow, like “this is a short man`s car”, “slow car”, “this car ain`t hip-hop”, finally ending with Hervey Keitel saying that “this car doesn’t care how you call it.”

Tom Noble, Head of MINI Brand Communications, better explains the MINI Ad:

“Ever since the first Mini was built in 1959, it has been labeled as one thing or another. This campaign acknowledges those labels in a very authentic way while simultaneously showing people Mini is more than that.”

Now it`s your turn to watch the 30 second spot and tell us how you feel about ”this car”!

The BMW M4 Convertible has been recently seen on a commercial, highlighting the way it is driven on a track race, for which it has been banned in the UK.

The reason for being kicked off from UK was that the commercial is apparently promoting a careless and reckless driving on a track race.

The UK is the second country to receive a commercial with a BMW model, with the German carmaker to also launch a video with the M235i sports car in Australia, promoting a reckless driving.

The video below is showing the BMW M4 Convertible being driven on a race track, so it`s up to you to decide whether the model is driven in an inappropriate manner or not.

The BMW M4 Convertible is coming with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder inline TwinPower Turbo unit under the hood, the same one found on the M4 Coupe and on the M3 Sedan.

The engine develops a total output of 431 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, which is enough to reach the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 4.1 seconds, at a top speed of 250 km/h.

In any given situation, conversation about BMW cars turns to driving feel, pleasure and general well being attributes. Especially when it comes to the 5 Series.

The mid-sized luxury sedan is simply joyous in just about every aspect, particularly when it comes to its drivers benefits.

Despite this, BMW have started running an add about it that proves that you need to know what you’re doing when it comes to the options list.

The showcase may be one of the F10 BMW 5 Series models but the star here is actually the sort of treat the Connected Drive system can offer.

As we all know, that’s the toy set of equipment services that BMW offers to keep its customers ever happier.

Tell you what, take a look first:

http://youtu.be/yEZXSMN_8k4

Who would’ve known that a rearview camera of such high fidelity could end up being such a problematic optional extra?

Sure, there’s a lot of technical irrelevance going on with the rear camera being activated for no reason whatsover but who cares.

The dorky looking guy who’s on a hot date managed to get a surprising kiss from the lovely lady. Do you really need more entertainment in 30 seconds?

We’re likely not going to see this ad run on television since it obviously appeals to the dreamy sort of chap that probably doesn’t have the finances to buy a BMW anyway.

Even so, the charm factor of the BMW Connected Drive advert wins its place in our hearts without too much effort.

The post F10 BMW 5 Series commercial gets drivers in trouble appeared first on BMWCoop | BMW Blog, BMW News, BMW Reviews.

Who says TV is something the Internet doesn’t care about anymore. We asked for Internet hooked up TV sets, we have some of the sexiest adds on TV and now there’s this.

It’s BMW’s newest commercial for what’s possibly their most sought after model, the F10 M5. The commercial is called bullet and is quite interestingly made.

In this advert, the whole point is to insinuate that the F10 BMW M5 is as fast as a bullet. That’s why, well, you’ll see what happens.

Let’s put it this way, if there was a car doing a burnout in a tunnel that later on turns out to be a “gun” rifle at the start of the video, it’s really hard to be disappointed by the end isn’t it?

Also, some slow motion footage in the middle will probably not hurt the whole thing too much either.

Nice and spectacular. Just like the twin-turbo 4.4 liter V8 powered sports sedan itself.

What i particularly love about this BMW M5 commercial is not the whole gun and speed and the slight twinkling of gadgets in between but the way it hunkers back to another M5 commercial.

This one was done a very long time ago, right about the time when the Trust SSC first broke the land speed record by hitting Mach 1.

Back then BMW were making something called the BMW M5 only it wore a E39 chassis number. That’s one of the favorite cars of anybody alive.

http://youtu.be/06Wf_vMufvY

Nice one to remember. It may not feature something as fast and advanced as the F10 M5 but it’s certainly up there when it comes to ingenuity.

After seeing a new BMW commercial from the Americans at BMW USA, the Bavarians have readied one for the British/European market.

The new advert focuses on their newest and most glamorous product to date; the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, the four door version of the F12/F13.

There’s a new title attached to the video and it’s meant to be as impressive as the new car, as exclusive and as dramatic as you can get.

It’s called the “Eclipse” and though the event was taken a little to the extreme, you can’t really blame the German manufacturer for using it.

The new commercial has already started airing in Britain and will probably turn up in the rest of Europe very soon with the updated pricing.

http://youtu.be/YWlWZ6hRsOQ

Whereas the US price list for the BMW Gran Coupe 640i can be seen here, the British get a different lineup.

On the islands you’ll pay at least £61.390 for the opportunity to get a 640i or as little as £70.650 for the 650i.

The first one is powered by BMW’s infamous 3.0 liter turbocharged six cylinder petrol engine with 320 horsepower and the latter gets a total of 450 horsepower from a twin-turbo V8.

Either of those powerplants will be able to propel the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe from 0 to 62 in a better time than most sports cars.

This is Europe however so there’s a lot of people still hanging around for the 640d diesel version or maybe the M Performance version with a tri-turbo oil burner.
