The all-new 2018 BMW 3-Series is popping-up into the spotlights in a new spy video, which highlights the test mule`s driving capabilities while performing some drifts on the snow. The model looks extremely aggressive, wider and ready to receive new aerodynamics that would make it high-performance.

We are dealing here with the future G20 3-Series which is undergoing final tests just before arrival at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, in September. Soon after, it will be released in some European countries.

As we can depict from the spy video the car`s design will be highlighted by the production body panels which may reveal its final form. We might be looking here at a short front overhang and Hofmeister Kink, adding vertical headlights and smaller headlights. Previous spy phots also revealed the test mule with trunk lip spoiler, new exhaust system, updated suspension system and improved brakes.

The new G20 3-Series is also looking bigger, bringing it closer to the G30 5-Series. They also share the same CLAR platform, meaning a more lightweight body style, lower weight and improved driving capabilities. This will also allow the fitting of a wide range of engines.

The cabin will also come with increase space for all passengers, adding as well the latest technology, also found on the new 5-Series of 7-Series.

Performance wise, the 2018 G20 BMW 3-Series is expected to arrive with a suite of three-, four- and six-cylinder engines, both petrol and diesel, starting with the entry-level 318i and finishing with the top of the line M340i, the latter one becoming the direct rival of the new Audi S4 and Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG. As expected, the carmaker will also introduce a plug-in hybrid variant and possibly, an all-electric vehicle.

Ever since its introduction on the market as the second-generation BMW 6-Series in 2003 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the E63 650i model from BMW was extremely controversial in terms of design, coming with strange looks and massive body style.

Even so, the model was way ahead those times, coming with advanced mechanics that offered one of the best handling and driving capabilities in the segment. And that was quite a good reason to see it dressed in a racing livery.

The model seen below was thoroughly customized and transformed into a racing car by Aussie driver Andi Aigner, a famous driver known for his outstanding test drives on different BMW models. Now we get to see dancing with his very own drive.

We are not going to spoil all the fun and let you enjoy the entire video, but we still need to praise this baby for a change.

The E63/E64 BMW 650i remains a fun car to drive, especially since it boasts with lots of power squeezed from a massive 4.8-liter naturally-aspirated engine, providing at the same time a loud and impressive engine growl.

And even if we are looking here at a massive car, the 650i is extremely easy and fun to drive, especially in the hands of a professional driver, who knows how to handle the car`s steering on dirt tracks, and recently on a snow track.

The model was accordingly fitted with studded tires, which makes the car`s sliding and drifting more fun, particularly since it also comes with low traction, a rear-wheel setup and a V8 under the hood. All these make the perfect ingredients for such a fun drifting out in the snow. Enjoy the video!

It seems that BMW carmaker has already started campaigning the arrival of the new Z5, the official replacement of the Z4, the test mule seen here in a new spy video showing off its extraordinary drifting capabilities in snowy conditions.

As we can also depict from the video released by motor1. auto magazine, the future Z5 will be an exciting and fun convertible to drive, especially since it comes with a more lightweight chassis and advanced aerodynamics.

Presented on the snowy track with other test mules, the BMW Z5 performs extremely well in tight corners, with the driver perfectly managing to control the test mule while pushing the pedal to the metal. There are more spectacular testing sessions that are perfectly highlighted in the video below.

Seen here fully camouflaged like in the most of the recent spy photos, the all-new 2018 BMW Z5 is going to be top notch in the convertible segment, coming with an improved design.

As seen in the video below as well, besides the spectacularly performing, the 2018 Z5 will wear updated headlights and taillights along with extra panels with black rivets, new rear bumper layout and more angular exhaust tops.

From previous news, we have also learned that the new Z5 will come with a soft top with fabric setup, meaning that it will shed off significant weight to make more room in the trunk and become faster around the track.

Under the hood, rumors have is that the new Z5 will come with a wide range of four- and six-cylinder engines, shortly followed by a hybrid variant with an all-wheel layout. As for a future M variant, the carmaker has ruled out that possibility for the moment.

We don’t have more information about this man or location, but we can say that we don’t recommend you to try the same with your BMW.

He is a good driver, he drives and makes drifts on the streets with an E34 BMW M5. He put in danger the other drivers in traffic as we see in the video, and there is a person that is passing the pedestrian zebra and is at only 1 second away from being hit by this BMW driver.

I see that a lot of people talked on the internet about this video and some of them said that it is good to do this some of them not (most of them said this) so I thought that I need to show it to the people that didn’t see it and it is also a reader of our blog and also to express my opinion about this video.

I have to tell you that I can’t say that I’m on any side, I’m somewhere at the middle but this is not what I wanted to say.

I wanted to say that this video has a good part and also a bad part. The good part is that the man in the car felt well and also that the spectators could see what can do such a car like the 2010 BMW 7 Series and the bad part is that this could end bad.
