Even if the 2016 BMW M2 Coupe will officially hit its worldwide dealerships next April, the model was already leaked in prices in Australia.

The leaked prices comes from a recent report launched by AUSmotive, stating that the BMW M2 Coupe will come in Australia next year in two versions, the BMW M2 Pure, costing a base $89,900 and the M2, available at $98,900.

The 2016 BMW M2 Pure will be cheaper than its predecessor, the 1M Coupe, coming with a manual transmission and a lot of interesting features as standard. We are looking here at a Professional grade navigation system with an 8.8-inch LCD display, seven-speaker stereo, along with cruise control with braking system, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning or city braking.

In case you want more, then you will also have the M2 available, this version receiving the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, along with adaptive headlights, power front seats with heating, comfort access system, the 12-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system and more.

In the engine department, both the M2 Pure and the top M2 will come with the already announced 3.0-liter turbo inline flat-six engine, with 364 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. This allows a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds with the auto and 4.5 seconds with the manual transmission, at a topping of 250 km/h.

The G11 BMW 7-Series is finally here, as the model has been recently leaked in some shots, revealing the model from different angles. This should be enough to form a strong opinion on how the vehicle would look like.

The BMW 7-Series is supposed to be launched sometime this year, becoming the direct opponent of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

To cope with the strong competition from Mercedes-Benz, the Bavarian premium carmaker has designed something unique, as its models are on a constant evolutionary level in terms of design and performance.

Taking a look at the model, one might resemble a more robust body style with unique features, like revised front fascia, a front bumper looking rather the same with the one found on the 6-Series, elongated taillights, or massive exhaust pipes.

Inside, the 2016 BMW 7-Series will also receive a special treatment, but so far, there are no fresh images with its interior.

Under the hood however, the 2016 BMW 7-Series is also rumored to get the 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit, developing 260 horsepower. Other engines are also announced, like the 6-cylinder and 330 horsepower, the V8 edveloping 460 horsepower, or the 6.6-liter V12 with 600 horsepower.

Finally, a spyshot that we can really sink our teeth into. Unfortunately, due to its origin, there may be some problems with it as well.

The image contains a non-camouflaged BMW M6 Gran Coupe, a world first. Quality isn’t the best selling point but this is one of those things that come with worthy information.

The problem I can see with this image leaking out is that somebody might actually get fired over this. It would be a shame.

Forget Apple’s crumby ideas about “leaks”, even though we’re looking forward to the BMW M6 Gran Coupe we pretty much know what to expect already.

It will have a S63Tu 4.4 liter twin-turbocharged engine under the bonnet, it will develop some 560 horsepower and 501 lb-ft of torque and it will be teamed to a 7 speed M-DCT transmission.

The image showcases the look of it but mostly we’re looking at a four door version of the 6 Series. Those little differences are what we’re after.

A new body kit, designed especially for the folks at the M Division goes on and just take a look at those alloy wheels.

They honestly look good enough to drool over, just as the rest of the car does. Poor lighting does rob us of a few details.

Side mirrors were redesigned, a bit of lipo was done here and there and the brakes are now enormous. The discs look like they could be ceramic but the calipers don’t fit the bill.

We could wait and find out exactly what’s going on but that’s no fun.

Not tired of bashing the BMW i8 eco-friendly supercar yet? Don’t worry, the Bavarians plan to make a convertible version for that purpose alone.

Well, that might not be entirely accurate but there’s a big point to be made about these pictures. After a bit of talk about them being fake, it turns out they are real.

BMW is actually well at work on the i8 Spyder and this Concept is just a proper occasion for the eco-nuts to go crazy over.

You’ll have yourself a high performing car, that’s enjoyable to drive but it’s friendly to the environment it’s bringing you closer to.

If you think about that the BMW i8 Spyder Concept is quite poetic. So if that’s a little to weak for you let’s focus on the petrolhead stuff.

There rotating doors are nearly as impressive as the scissor ones on the high end Lamborghini models.

The power though won’t be on par with the Italian supercar. Forget big naturally aspirated V12s and open up to the word green before gas.

A 1.5 liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine develops a “whopping” 220 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. The good thing is that it sends its power to the rear wheels.

The front wheels aren’t going to be happy with just steering the i8 Spyder Concept but will instead be powered as well. Not in an old fashioned all wheel drive way but thanks to a couple of electric motors.

As it stands, we’re going to see more photos and a few more details of the BMW i8 drop top at the upcoming Beijing Motor Show.

Some may feel like the brand new F30 BMW 3 Series is already nothing more than old news but that’s simply not the case. A leaked ordering guide for the U.S. tells us plenty of stuff about it that we didn’t previously know.

While the F30 versions of the BMW 328i and the BMW 335i are going to be making the trip over the Atlantic pretty much untouched there’s nothing in the info about the upcoming diesel versions.

Up until recently, most Americans couldn’t care less about a diesel engine but over the last few years this started to seriously matter as an alternative in terms of fuel saving solutions.

Getting back to the petrol powered versions of the F30 BMW 3 Series, they will come as standard with ZF’s eight speed automatic transmission, with the enthusiast friendly BMW six speed manual being still available as a no cost option.

In terms of U.S. market specific options, the entire lineup of F30 BMW 3 Series will come with automatic start/stop systems and 17 inch alloys regardless of the model.

Speaking of standard equipment, the new infotainment system features a 6.5″ screen color screen, iPod and Bluetooth connectivity, together with the infamous iDrive system.

So far apart from the diesel, everything the Americans are getting to know about the F30 BMW 3 Series sounds good but there’s some proper bad news coming up for fans of the M badge.

They won’t be able to get their fix for an M Sport package until the summer of 2012, July to be precise.
