Since most of us don’t live in a tropical paradise, surely by now you’ve had some encounters with the harsh and cold winter that keeps going on.

Despite this, BMW’s M division feels like there’s some playing around to be done. To begin with they’ve unveiled what can only be described as the coolest BMW M5 badge ever.

On top of the joke situation there’s plenty of other cool stuff floating around that’s indirectly linked to the work of the BMW M division.

Firstly, the gorgeous BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe will receive an M version. We’re not talking about an M Sport package but an actual performance division model.

Some rather low quality spyshots have been nabbed of the new M Gran Coupe model and, as you’d imagine, there’s plenty of camouflage going on.

For those of a higher disposition towards quality, we now have some renderings of what this new model could look like courtesy of PS-Garage.

They’ve come up with only one special image but it has all the goodies visible. The BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe M leaves the distinguished grown up look in the dust.

Instead, a more aggressive M Style body kit is applied and the vents at the front are now large enough to swallow up unattended babies.

The wheels and brakes indicate the borrowed drivetrain form F10 BMW M5 and complete the new look this sort of vehicle would showoff.

Otherwise, BMW’s M division has plenty of stuff on its table yet will not utter a single word on it right now.

The BMW 1 Series M Coupe is one of the best cars of all time and certainly one of the most raved about models of recent times.

Some fans out there love the BMW 1 Series M Coupe as if its the Messiah and would not change anything about it.

Unfortunately, not everybody agrees with these fans and when Global Concept Automobile decided to take one into the racing.

Whenever a production car is turned into a racer, there’s plenty of components that need to be changed in order to handle the conditions but what GC Automobile did is beyond belief.

Technically called a silhouette race car, this racing version of the BMW 1 Series M Coupe is miles away from the car we all know and love.

Naturally, the wheels, tires, brakes, suspension setup and all of the interior was changed but things go a lot further than that.

I’m not even talking about the wider, lower, aerodynamic body which has robbed away some of the looks of the BMW 1 Series M Coupe.

I’m talking about the racing team taking away the very heart of the 1 Series M Coupe, its engine and gearbox. Whereas we all loved the 3.0 liter twin-turbo straight six and the manual gearbox, apparently it won’t cut it on the track.

Instead, GC Automobile opted for a 6.2 liter Chevrolet V8 engine with 550 horsepower and a sequential gearbox. No doubt the performance is of a different level but we just can’t help but disapprove of the decision to build this car.

A silhouette racer has nothing to do with the production model it resembles and thus they could have made it any other shape they wanted.

The French racing team have ruined the BMW 1 Series M Coupe. It has a reputation for being a car that’s fun, that makes you happy… not some serious racer that is unrelated.

We begin this article with an unseen teaser image of the BMW 1 Series M or shortly named, the BMW M1. This is a rendering made by a specialist. Anyway, I made this article because we have more details about it so I will start by saying that it will have new aerodynamics from the front to the back.

This BMW 1 Series M will be modified very much at the front to have a muscular look also making it much aerodynamic. In front of the wheels there are some air intakes to cool the six piston brakes.

Also, the BMW Active Aerodynamics system will be installed on this BMW 1 Series M also upgrading the aerodynamics of the car. There will be a wider rear spoiler, larger wheel arches and a carbon fiber roof. After seeing all of these new updates, I think that the principal upgrade is the aerodynamics of the car.

Here comes a great car or at last for because as you know, I love the 1 Series from BMW and I also like the M sport packages and yes, BMW combined these 2 big brands that I love so much and came up into this car with an expected name: BMW 1 Series M.

This BMW 1 Series M will have a 3.0 liter engine but comparing it to the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo that has a single turbo engine, this new BMW 1 Series M is going to have a twin turbo engine.

I also know that this BMW 1 Series M’s 3.0 liter twin turbo engine can develop up to 350 horsepower and a maximum torque of 500 Nm. BMW 1 Series M will be able to reach 60 miles per hour in just 5.5 seconds having a top speed of 250 km/h. BMW 1 Series M is priced at $61,000.

One of my favorites tuning are for this BMW X6 or even BMW X6 M because these 2 cars are looking almost the same. One of the tunings for this car is the one made by Hartge so I decided to put a mega gallery with it on this blog.

More exactly, what I did was to collect all the photos with this BMW X6 M by Hartge and to upload them on this blog so now if you want to see this car from more angles you don’t have to search on Google for more photos, you can simply view the gallery from below.

To say few words about the BMW X6 M by Hartge, the tuning is also made only at the design, the engine of this car is not modified but I think that you don’t need this because this car can develop big power so an updated design is welcomed.

We talked about 2010 BMW X6 M quite a long time ago; since then were released more details, previews and drive reviews so some of the important news will be in this post. The M version of BMW X6 will boost the performances of the normal model and at this model, they have actually kept his word.

2010 BMW X6 M will have a V8 4.4 liter engine that will develop 555 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and a torque of 501 lb-ft at 5,600 RPM. BMW X6 can reach 200 kilometers per hour but the boosted model, 2010 BMW X6 M, will have a top speed bigger than 230 kilometers per hour.

A driver of a 2010 BMW X6 M said that this car is feeling like it’s forced to respond. The same engine from 2010 BMW X6 M will be available on 2011 BMW M5 F10 changed from a V10 engine. I always showed respect to BMW X6 because it has a perfect design and big power, put together in a perfect way.

The post Preview: 2010 BMW X6 M appeared first on BMWCoop | BMW Blog, BMW News, BMW Reviews.

This BMW 1 Series is supposed to be 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe and it was caught testing in Munich. It is featured with a carbon fibre roof (you can see a small part of it in the main photo), with 19 inch wheels covered by 265/35 R19 Michelin tires. It’s a good thing that we can see this BMW 1 Series almost with no camouflages but I also miss the normal BMW’s camouflage sticks.

2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe has also wider rear wheel arches and carbon ceramic brakes (the photographer could see this only at the rear side but it is possible to be also on the front size). After these visual details, people have made 2 phone: the first is that this is a 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe and the second one is that this is a 2011 BMW 1 Series Coupe xDrive.

BMW said that they are not going to build a 1 Series M Coupe so we don’t know what to belive from these informations found on the internet. I can say that all we have now are just these spy photos.

The post Spy Photos: BMW Series 1 Coupe M appeared first on BMWCoop | BMW Blog, BMW News, BMW Reviews.

On the internet appeared few drive reviews and other more details, photos and even wallpapers so I will post few in this post. Some time ago, BMW said that they will never build a M version of X5 but now we read that they did. On the teaser site of BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M, was spotted by Jalopnik these tags: “550 bhp” ; “Twin Scroll Twin Turbo” ; “V8” and “grills”. This is kind of hidden details about BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M and there is no mistake made by BMW; probably they wanted us to see this.

Until now we knew that BMW X5 M and also BMW X6 M will develop 555 horsepower but now with these official tags, it is waited for 550 horsepower. Some people still think that the new BMW X5 M will develop 555 horsepower but from my opinion is not a big difference at all.

In 4.7 seconds, BMW X5 M reaches 60 mph and in 13.2 seconds it reaches 107.7 mph. Other change at BMW X5 M is the improved stability. In Australia BMW X5 M will be released in January.

The post Drive Review: BMW X5 M appeared first on BMWCoop | BMW Blog, BMW News, BMW Reviews.

Many new models have been launched by BMW this year and some will be unveiled next year.

With this occasion, BMW has decided to finally release the ///M Sport package for the US market. This type of equipment is perfect for any BMW owner who wants to customize his vehicle and make it different from any other BMW. Basically, you can change the color, wheels, steering wheel, gearshift lever and a few other accessories. The most important part of the BMW ///M Sport package is the aerodynamic package, which will surely attract many customers. The people from BMW won’t wait for anything to happen, they are starting production in January and the first cars who will benefit from the sport package are the 5 Series and the 135.

In the end, this is perfect for any US BMW fan which wants to get an aggressive and attractive car.

BMW’s strategy seemed to work and their sales have increased in some departments.

For example, the ///M was available in three versions: coupe, sedan and convertible. This way, BMW has attracted the attention of every type of consumer. Their sales have increased with more than 50% in November, compared with the same period as last year. You should never forget that the recession is currently affecting major companies which are on the edge of bankruptcy. During this period, BMW is still getting more money and manages to solve their problems.

Like usual, the strategy says it all and BMW has a great one. I’m sure that the new models will bring even more profits for the company.
