The 2016 BMW M2 is ending up in our news again, this time with some new information released by Auto Bild, stating that the sports car will come with a higher performance than originally believed.

According to Auto Bild, the 2016 M2 is worthy of being the successor of the M1 model, which has been built in around 5,000 units.

The 2016 BMW M2 is taking its power from a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo N55 unit, which has now been upgraded.

The new powertrain develops 374 horsepower and a good 520 Nm of torque, hooked to a 6-speed manual transmission, or an optional 7-speed automatic dual clutch M DCT.

The 2016 BMW M2 will be more expensive than the present M235i Coupe, meaning 43,750 euros in Germany.

The future M2 sports car will be launched at the end of 2015, with more details to be launched in the near future.

Just a couple of hours ago, the BMW car manufacturer announced the official launch of their new 2015 BMW M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe, which promise to deliver high performance.

The M4, with 3,300 pounds, is 176 lighter than the M3 Sedan, and has a slight advance in terms of additional power and torque, the first reaching an estimated 4,1 seconds from 0 to 60 mph. Concerning the top speed, both the M3 and the M4 are electronically limited to 155.

Additionally, the 2015 BMW M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe come with a standard six-speed transmission which is connected to a carbon-fiber reinforced plastic driveshaft, with a mechanical limited-slip differential.

Each version of the car also receives wheel carriers made of aluminum, weighing together around 6.5 pounds. In order to improve handling, the rear sub-frame is bolted directly to the chassis.

Inside, both the M3 Sedan and the M4 Coupe have fine touches, worthy of the M-symbol, with sills on the doors, footrest for the driver, circular instruments that enhances white graphics, color-contrast stitching and so on.

Both models will be put on sales in early summer as the 2015 versions.

The tuning scene available for the BMW X6 is growing ever bigger and the latest “actor” to revise a part he’s playing on it is German tuner Lumma Design.

The “act” Lumma Design has put together is quite impressive and is based on a BMW X6 xDrive50i eventually being called the CLR X 650 M.

The recently revised CLR X 650 M gets a power output increase up to a whopping 670 horsepower and a maximum torque of 627 lb-ft. To have a sense of perspective you can relate to these figures as a 20 percent increase in horsepower and a 25 percent increase in torque when compared to the standard BMW X6 M. And that isn’t exactly what you’d call sluggish is it?

The improvement comes from a new high-performance exhaust system, finished with quad tailpipes. Top speed for the Lumma Design CLR X 650 M now reaches 194 mph. Imagine that, something which a few years ago supercars were struggling to achieve, the 200 mph holy grail, is close to being done nowadays by something that’s almost a SUV.

On the visual front, the old X 650 M was always an aggressive car but now it’s getting difficult to tell that this originated from a neighborhood variety BMW X6. The modifications include a revised rear skirt and wing, three-section front spoiler with daytime LED runners, flared fenders, upgraded side-sills, a new carbon and Kevlar hood.
