BMW purists who are on a hunt these days for exclusive and limited-editions, should know that BMW has recently introduced an interesting package which includes an M4 Magny-Cours Edition, an S 1000RR motorcycle and an extremely expensive mechanical wristwatch from BRM, for a total of €180,000.

Considering the value of the package, I am allowed to state that the whole price is quite a bargain. However, BMW is offering a limited-run of just ten packages for the moment.

Starting with the BMW M4 Magny-Cours Edition, the model is dedicated to the German`s carmaker partnership with the former French Grand Prix, almost ten years ago, when it raced at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours.

The model comes with the Competition Package and a racing livery. We are looking here at the same 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine with 444 horsepower.

Besides the power, the model is also had with the carbon fiber front lip spoiler and carbon fiber rear wing, adding as well the striping details down the flanks and the massive 20-inch alloy wheels.

As for the BMW S 1000RR motorcycle, this is the perfect replica of the one competing in the Superbike World Championship, coming with the same racing livery and a 999cc inline-four cylinder engine, with 200 horsepower.

On the other hand, the BRM`s mechanical wristwatch is also part of the package, this one costing alone many thousands dollars. You can find out more about the trio in the media gallery below!

In case you doubted that the all-new 2017 BMW M4 Facelift might miss the most important auto events of the year, then you have been wrong. It is here and is ready to show you what new goodies it has received from the German based carmaker.

Even if some might have accused the model of not being that “facelifted” as it was supposed to, the all-new M4 does bring forwards a wide array of changes which make the exterior and interior more interesting.

The first striking thing is the gorgeous Sakhir Orange that the new F82 BMW M4 is coming with, adding as well the massive 20-inch alloy wheels which indicates from the start that we are dealing here with the M Competition Package.

Besides the M Competition Package, which kind of gives the new M4 everything it needs, the model is now coming standard with new LED headlights with hexagonal lighting similar to the ones seen in the new 5-Series, adding as well the optional LED headlights. As for the car`s taillights, these are also slightly revised, looking here at full-LEDs with horizontal lighting signature.

The cabin has also received minor updates as well, like new materials and new upholstery and trims. Some of the trims are electroplated, with the chrome appearing around the air conditioning, while the centre console is now tweaked with gloss black panel. There will also be three new leather upholstery options, like Midnight Blue, Cognac and Ivory White, with trim options as well – Carbon Aluminum, Light Fineline and High Gloss Black with Pearl Chrome strips. Technologically wise, the infotainment system has also been updated, along with the Multifunctional Instrument Display also adding new functions.

In the engine department, there are no signs of any power boosts, the 3.0-liter straight-six engine coming with rather the same 425 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, allowing an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.0 seconds – if fitted with the M Competition Package and the seven-speed DKG. With the manual transmission, the same 4.2 second time is achieved. The top speed can stand at 280 km/h with the M Driver`s Package.

There`s been often challenges that have put head-to-head magnificent models from both BMW and Mercedes-Benz. The latest video review comes from Car Advice and involves the gorgeous BMW M4 with Competition Package against the top notch predator Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe.

The video is trying to highlight the main characteristics that each model is coming with, also taking a look at their advanced aerodynamics and mechanics. Each one was properly driven and tested out by Chris Atkinson who then detailed each and gave the proper feedback. But in the end, it is up to you to decide which one is the best, if there is such thing as “THE” best.

Starting with the BMW M4 with Competition Package, the model comes with the standard 3.0-liter I6 twin-turbo engine but now modified to churn out 444 horsepower and 40 lb-ft of torque. With the launch control, Atkinson managed to pull a lap time of 00:54.380.

On the other side, the Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe, which was designated a better car than the M4 by the same Car Advice, packs a higher 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, with 503 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, which practically makes it the main winner of our track test. However, with traction control in Race mode, it managed a lap time of 00:55.080, giving the M4 a slight advantage ahead of it. The car oversteered during corners and that cost Atkinson some a couple of tenths.

Even so, each model comes with the latest driving capabilities, dynamics and stability, offering real shows both on the track as well as on straight line. Enjoy the video put together by Car Advice!

I have never doubted the performance capabilities of the M4 GTS from BMW but there is no way the car could beat-up a BMW motorcycle in a drag race…not even in a million years. It is proven that motorcycles are way too fast than conventional cars, and that seems to be an impossible mission for the potent M4 GTS.

Even so, putting two BMW products altogether, no matter what they are (car or bike) it is a fun exercise to learn from each other, and the video below, provided by motoring.com.au, is just trying to do that. The video is giving us an up-close of the outstanding characteristics of both BMW products on a track test.

Even if today`s motorcycles are built to last, becoming safer and safer thanks to their plethora of safety systems and advanced mechanics, I would personally drive one during summer weekends and choose the BMW M4 GTS for some hefty throttling or driving session on the track. Even so, the thrill and the excitement you feel while being on an S1000RR bike don’t match those of the M4 GTS.

So there are plenty of advantages and disadvantages of driving an M4 GTS vs riding an outstanding BMW S1000RR. It just depends on what you want.

If you want an amazing car that literally sticks you to the seat, then take the BMW M4 GTS`s impressive performance and sprint – just 3.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h achieved thanks to a high-performance system which comprises a conventional 3.0-liter turbocharged engine with water-injection technology, for an overall 493 horsepower.

If you need a fast bike from BMW, then our suggestion would be going for the S1000RR, an exceptional two-wheel machine with quick response, stability and fast speed. You can find out more in the video below!

We have seen tens of F82 BMW M4 models receiving outstanding tuning programs from well-known aftermarket shops yet none of them make them look the way Vorsteiner do with their own programs. Well, perhaps I`m being a little bit subjective at this point… or not.

Vorsteiner tuner have a way of creating special programs that now include, besides their special and high-performance wheels, body parts as well, thus adding to BMW products complete packages that shape out their personality and aggressive look.

As for this gorgeous Austin Yellow M4 seen here you might say that this is another Vorsteiner project… and it is in a sort of way…but it still remains unique, as all of the tuner`s programs.

We are dealing here with the V-FF 107 Flow Forged wheels, which are new to the tuner`s Flow Forged lineup, and add up increase stance and stability on the roads. The wheels are sized 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 10.5 front and rear and are finished in Carbon Graphite finish. The entire installation was carried out by European Auto Source tuner from California, US.

As for the car`s power under the hood, there seem to be no modifications added so far. This means that this hot-looking F82 M4 still packs the stock yet high-performance 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo flat-six, also seen on its little sibling the M3 Sedan. The engine outputs 431 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, sending the power to the rear via a six-speed manual. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is also done in 4.1 seconds, but when hooked with the seven-speed M-DCT transmission, the model runs the same sprint in just 3.9 seconds. The topping is electronically limited at 250 km/h.

Last week, we had the chance of seeing a fully-camouflaged BMW M4 at work, which would indicate the arrival of the all-new M4 CS.

While last rumors indicate that the camouflaged model is going to be the future M4 CS after all, the model in question is popping up into the spotlights in a first promotional footage, recently released by BMW German publication Bimmerpost.

A BMW petrol head and faithful member of Bimmerpost publication has released a promo footage with the model in California, with no signs of any camouflage around the body, the mode wearing a gorgeous blue exterior wrap, which may be part of a new colour particularly designated for this model (we might be looking at a new shade of the present Marina Bay Blue, also destined for the future M5).

The signs that we are indeed looking here at the future 2018 BMW M4 CS are reflected by the ceramic brakes with yellow calipers from the M4 GTS, adding as well other styling cues from the same GTS – carbon fiber hood which will shed off significant weight.

Other features that give away the future M4 CS refer to the wider carbon fiber front splitter, new ducktail-style lip spoiler, new rear diffuser, updated exhaust system as well as OLED taillights from the LCI M4, all contributing to the car`s more aggressive look. As for the car`s power, chances are that it will use a revamped 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, which would develop at least 450 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque.

Unfortunately for all BMW M4 fans out there, the new 2018 M4 CS will be available in a limited-run and not a production model as previously reported. We could as well see it for an official debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.

The Nardo Gray exterior wrap is definitely one of those impressive colours that makes an M3 look incredibly sexy and aggressive at the same time, and lately we have had the pleasure of seeing the gorgeous sedan wearing the same colour plus some new tweaks from BMW`s M special division.

The F80 BMW M3 is ending up into the spotlights again, this time the model coming with a full M package at the exterior, with the entire installation being carried out by the engineers from California-based tuner European Auto Source. And again, this outstanding model is wearing the same Nardo Gray body wrap.

The M Performance Parts make a BMW model even more standout, increasing the car`s personality and aggressive attitude. This one seen here is also worthy of a photo session out in the sun.

The BMW M3 by EAS is standing out with the M Performance carbon fiber front splitters, M Performance side blade attachments, gloss black kidney grilles as well as gloss black side markers, all contributing to a new look.

The engineers from EAS have also installed some styling bits from iND Distribution company, namely the well-known iND painted side markers, front reflectors and rear reflectors, and trunk badge. Inside, the cabin has also received some additional tweaks with the same M treatment.

Underneath the skin, the Nardo Grey F80 BMW M3 is packing the stock 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, with 431 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque on board, and a 4.1 second sprint from 0 to 100 km/h. The top speed is electronically adjusted at 250 km/h.

Usually, the California-based tuner European Auto Source, deals with just styling customizations, but recently, the technicians decided to extend their range of customizations by adding some impressive power kits as well, on more and more BMW products.

And we have recently seen a previous generation E92 BMW M3 receiving an outstanding 425 horsepower kit with lots of mechanics. This was shortly followed by the BMW M4, which can be seen revving its engine with lots of power in the video below.

The tuner`s power kit involves an ECU remapping and some adjustments to the engine`s turbochargers, all of which the model is now ready to squeeze no less than 600 horsepower. And the car`s insane engine growl can be heard in the video put together by EAS tuner.

Besides the new power kit, the aftermarket specialists from European Auto Source have also added some new mechanics, including revised brakes, Moton suspensions, as well as the high-performance Akrapovic exhaust system, which is a MUST on every customized BMW model.
As for new aerodynamics, the tuner hasn’t messed around with the M4`s body styling, adding just a bunch of new styling details which cannot be observed by an untrained eye.
Just sit tight, push the press button and enjoy the video with the BMW M4 by EAS! Don’t forget to share your opinions on that matter!

Last week, BMW unveiled some teaser images with some of its high-end models from the M lineup, which would be displayed at the 2016 SEMA show with more M goodies, and now, the carmaker has already unveiled its gorgeous models, with the main highlight on the M3 and M4`s new carbon aero kit, and racing liveries for models within the 2- and the 3-Series.

As we can depict from the photo gallery below, the BMW M3 and M4 are displayed at the 2016 SEMA show wearing a carbon aero kit, with the main highlights on the cars` massive carbon fiber rear wing, carbon side skirts, front wings, support brackets as well as the M racing stripes, for enhanced aggressive look.

The new M Performance kit is complemented with the one-off 19-inch and 20-inch M alloy wheels, finished in dark, front and rear respectively, and wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. Besides the M3 and M4, the wheels can also be ordered on the M2 Coupe.

Both models are also equipped with improved mechanics, such as the new race red coilover suspension system with adjustable M Performance dampers and springs, which lower the cars` ride height by 5mm to 20mm, using a spring plate.

The M Performance Package is also present on the BMW 2 Series Coupe or 3 Series Sedan, both now tweaking the black M Performance Front Splitter attachment, Carbon exterior mirror caps, M Performance wheels and tailpipes, as well as the M Performance carbon engine cover.

On the other hand, the 340i and 440i from the 3- and 4-Series, respectively, received the same special treatment, both versions now fitting the M Performance Power and Sound kit, consisting of a higher-flowing exhaust system with integrated bi-modal valve control which control the cars` engine by using the Sport and Sport Plus driving modes. This means that the power has been raised to 355 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is done in 5.1 seconds, in the 340i version.

The F10 5 Series Sedan and some SUVs from the X lineup – including the X5 and X6 – are also tweaked with the new Remote Engine Start function, which automatically activates by pushing the “lock” button on the key three times, and allowing different functions, like heating or cooling down the cabin or opening the vehicle from the outside. Also, the 740e xDrive from the 7 Series is also highlighted by the BMW Individual Frozen Black Metallic with M Performance Parts at the exterior as well as inside the cabin.

The BMW M3 was recently taken for a spin by Chris Harris, the famous auto journalist showcasing the performance of the sports car in a video, while standing behind the wheel.

The BMW M3 is ending up in our news again, as it was tested by Chris Harris, also to test the M4 Coupe, behind the wheel of the model.

The video posted below is not the full range, but 3 minutes of watching the drive behind the BMW M3 should be enough to fall in love forever with the sporty sedan.

The BMW M3 was launched last year, in a sedan body, standing alongside the older M4, coming in a two-door body style.

Both the M3 and the M4 are now equipped with the 3.0-liter twin turbo straight six-cylinder unit, meaning that both models dropped the V8 unit.

The 3.0-liter unit develops a great output of 431 horsepower and 550 Nm, while hooked at the 6-speed manual or the 7-speed dual clutch transmission.
