Considered the spiritual successor of the 5-Series GT, the upcoming 2018 BMW 640xi Grand Turismo is confirmed to arrive on the US market this September, the model being completely new at the exterior as well as under the skin.

This means that in terms of design will come with a more sweeping roofline, with a more versatile design and more appealing body style than the current 5-Series. And since we know how the present 5-Series GT looks like, we surely expect a mind-blowing design for the 6-Series GT.

Following the footsteps of the G30 5-Series, the all-new G32 6-Series Gran Turismo will also stand on the company`s new CLAR (Cluster Architecture) modular platform, meaning steel, carbon fiber and aluminum composites altogether.

This means that it will be more lightweight with around 100 kg, will add increase space inside and more performance under the hood.

Performance wise, the all-new 2018 BMW 640xi Grand Turismo will come with a new 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo engine in the United States, with a power output of around 350 horsepower. This is the same one used on the 340i and 740i, meaning that it will come standard with the xDrive all-wheel drive layout.

In Europe, things will be looking different, the model packing a wide range of petrol burners and diesels, most of them identical to the ones used on the G30 5-Series.

The petrol pots will comprise the new BMW 630i, 640i and the M650i xDrive, with the latter one featuring a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8. The diesels will come with the 620d, 630d and the top of the line M650d xDrive variant which will feature a B57 quad-turbo pot.

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!

Unlike the US citizens who favor petrol burners for their US-bound models, in Europe, people are crazy about the diesel models, especially since because they are more fuel-efficient and come with plenty of new gizmos in terms of drvivign dynamics.

In the UK for instance, BMW has thought very useful to introduce the 520d SE EfficientDynamics model, priced from at least £36,025 and coming with more exquisite features than the standard varaint. The UK customers also crazy about the diesels from the all-new 5-Series.

At the exterior, the car`s main highlights refer to the Active Air Stream Kidney Grille system which allows more variable control of the cooling air for the brakes, air conditioning and engine.

Under the hood, the 2017 BMW 520d SE EfficientDaynamics packs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine, with 190 horsepower, available at 4,000 rpm and 400 Nm of torque, available at as low as 1,750 rpm. The duel consumption is also fantastic, only 72.4 mpg/3.9 liter per 100 km), with the CO2 emissions also standing at 102 g/km.

The diesel is also fast, allowing an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.5 seconds, achieved also thanks to a high-performance ZF eight-speed automatic transmission.

The new 520d SE EfficientDaynamics also comes with the ECO Pro mode with Proactive Driving Assistant, which is activated via the Drive Performance Control switch. It is connected to the car`s Professional Navigation system and keeps track of the braking system and other important features of the car.

BMW is currently developing lots of interesting new and high-end models, especially in the SUV sector, where the X7 is set to arrive next year, while the G01 X3, also seen in recent spy photos, is getting ready for official debut this autumn.

According to recent reports, the G01 BMW X3 will arrive in European dealerships this autumn, as a 2018 MY, the exquisite SUV standing on the company`s new rear-wheel drive flexible modular architecture, meaning that the 100 kg weight loss will add more comfort, increase performance and less fuel-consumption. This is the same architecture that will also be found on the new X5 and X7.

Overall, the design language of the new 2018 G01 X3 will be carry over from the current X3, yet will adopt a more aggressive look thanks to the revised styling lines.

We are dealing here with a more aggressive attitude highlighted by the new front bumper, lower roofline at the rear, one-piece tailgate, all contributing to the car`s increased aerodynamics. Also, the car`s new design is also adjusted to meet the new pedestrian safety regulations.

As for the interior, this will be more high-tech and fully-tweaked with the latest gadgetries, adding increase space and better materials all-around.

Under the hood, expect to see rather the same engines as in the 3-Series, including the brand-new 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, as well as a wide range of four-cylinder units, and plug-in hybrids. We should also wait for the long-rumored full-electric X3 by the end of the decade.

In case you were also wondering what would happen to the X3 M more potent version, well there is good news as well. We should see it on the market with a more wider and aggressive styling package, with more performance as well.

There are lots of cool BMW products that can be bought on the tuning market, especially in previous generations, models that come with lots of aftermarket modifications, pristine condition and low mileage…not to mention that they aren`t expensive at all.

However, there are older-generation models that deserve our respect and which can be bought for some serious money, especially if they refer to the CSL high-end version, which used to be a real delight when seeing them revving their engines.

For instance, the owner of the below 2003 E46 BMW M3 CSL is asking $133,502, yet the model coming with just 16,476 miles on board and being adorned with exquisite features at the exterior and a mind-blowing engine under the hood.

As we can depict from the photos below, the 2003 E46 BMW M3 in question is coming with the high-end and head-turner Sapphire Scwartz exterior black wrap, adding as well some cool aerodynamics that make it an exceptional drive.

The most noticeable changes are the new front and rear bumpers, additional circular air intake, while the interior changes refer to the carbon fiber door panels, black interior with Alcantara, and a few more here and there.

There is also the car`s exquisite engine. We are looking here with a 3.2-liter naturally-aspirated I6 engine, with an impressive 365 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, hooked to a six-speed sequential manual transmission SMG, fully controlled with paddle shifters, yet coming with no clutch pedal.

If we made you curious enough, just take a quick look at the car before deciding to add it to your collection. I guarantee it is worth the money.

Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, there were two special rides that dominated the racing segment, and those two German models were no other than the BMW E30 M3 Sport Evo and the Mercedes-Benz 190 Evolution, both coming with some powerful characteristics under the hood.

Now, the question that rises is which one would you choose for your own fun and driving pleasure or just for some thrilling spin around the tracks? Before taking a subjective decision, let`s have a look at each car`s main specifications.

To start with the E30 BMW M3 Sport Evo, the model looks gorgeous, a real German engineering of the time, coming with an appealing yet aggressive design, highlighted by a powerful engine under the hood. Besides looking in pristine condition, this lad here also comes with some slight mods, like custom steering wheel and aluminium pedals courtesy of AC Schnitzer.

Speaking about performance, the M3 Sport Evo packs a 2.5-liter I4 engine, which replaces the original 2.3-liter mill. This means that it develops 238 horsepower and allows a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.5 seconds, achieved via a five-speed manual transmission.

The Mercedes-Benz 190 Evolution II is another iconic model of the 1990s, the model coming with advanced aerodynamics and a futuristic design ahead its time. Unfortunately, it is heavier than the BMW which means that the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is done in 7.1 seconds. Also, it takes its power from a 2.5-liter flat-four engine, good for 235 horsepower. The power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual as well.

Having that said, both models will be available for sale at Silverstone Auction`s Classic Motor Show starting this November, both models having a starting price of around £100,000. It is now up to you to decide which one is best fit for your needs!
