The 2016 BMW M2 Coupe was officially unveiled at the 2016 NAIAS, and the model is already creating quite a stir amongst fans all over the world.

As a reminder, the German automaker will keep the M2 Coupe`s flame on the market for just five years, with around 5,500 units to be sold each year, but the model was so appreciated from the beginning that the hunt is still on.

According to Motor Report, in Australia the M2 Coupe is almost sold out, even if sales start in April. BMW Australia Managing Director, Marc Werner, also confirmed the news.

“We’re very excited to be able to offer this kind of performance car at such a sharp price point, which is a really compelling offer. We have significant pre-orders. We can’t talk absolute numbers here, but for the first year we will be almost completely sold out. The moment when we published the initial artwork of the M2, the response from potential customers was overwhelming. Luckily we were able to secure some substantial volume for this year and also for the coming years.”

The 2016 BMW M2 Coupe is available for sale from $89,900, the model coming with a 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine, with 370 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, hooked to a seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission. This allows a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, at a topping of 250 km/h.

In terms of fuel consumption, the M2 Coupe burns out 7.9L / 100 km, while the CO2 emissions stands at just 185 g/km.

As you can remember from our previous news, the last standing F10 BMW M5 “30 Jahre Edition” was put for an auction at “The Ultimate Driving Community…Building the Foundation” Capital Campaign of the BMW CCA Foundation, a few weeks ago.

Now, we are glad to announce that the F10 BMW M5 “30 Jahre Edition” has been recently sold to Rick Hendrik, driver and owner of a NASCAR team, for a whopping price of $700,000.

Rick Hendrick is a passionate and a fervent car collector who has spent most of his money buying and collecting one-off vehicles, now owing over 200 cars in a personal museum owned in North Carolina. But according to his sayings, the F10 BMW M5 “30 Jahre Edition” is one of its special acquisitions.

“This baby’s going to go right beside the i8 in the museum. The only miles it’s going to get are in the truck (sending it from Arizona to North Carolina.),” Hendrick also stated.

Apart from BMWs models such as i8 or this one recently purchased, Rick Hendrick also brags with other famous models, which have cost a fortune. For instance, the first Corvette C7 Stingray has made him spend $1,000,000, with other models to follow, like the ZO6 Stingray Coupe, C7 Corvette Convertible and much more.

As all collectors will tell you, the good stuff goes fast. The same can be said about the BMW 1 Series M Coupe as a fresh announcement tells us.

The Bavarians have collected orders for the entire lot of 2700 units they had planned to run for the BMW 1 Series M Coupe and will stop doing so anymore.

In other words, if you want to buy a BMW 1 Series M Coupe you’ve missed your shot. At this point you’ll be looking at second hand ones.

That comes with good and bad sides to the story. You might get a cheaper one with low mileage but you might also be faced with a more expensive buy thanks to the exclusivity.

Quick reminder; the BMW 1 Series M Coupe is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0 liter inline 6 cylinder engine which develops 335 horsepower and a maximum torque of 332 lb-ft.

The lightweight coupe sends all that power to the rear wheels through a six speed manual gearbox. It goes from 0 to 60 in just 4.7 seconds and it will easily hit the electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.

The figures don’t really tell the whole story. That short wheelbase, the relatively stiff suspension and an attitude for fun is what makes the package so attractive.

If you want a cheaper thrill of a similar kind, you might want to consider the car which inspired the 1 Series M Coupe, the E30 BMW M3.

That’s considerably cheaper on the second hand market and though it’s still a desirable model it’s available in less of a limited supply.

The latest announcement from BMW is rather worrying as they claim the new F10 BMW 5 Series has sold out in all the markets it’s been made available.

The new BMW 5 Series entered the European market about a month ago and the U.S. market just over a week ago and yet all the lots went out already. Happily since this isn’t a limited edition, you can still get one, you will however have to wait for about three months or so to put one in your driveway.

Ian Robertson, BMW’s sales boss was present at an industry press conference in Bilbao, Spain today were he made this information available to the public along with statements according to which the Bavarians were expecting something like this to happen since the 5 Series is a BMW core product and the F10’s less controversial styling when compared to the previous generation would see more market appeal.

Besides the styling there’s another important appeal of this BMW 5 Series, it shares almost 70% of its technology with the company’s flagship model, the BMW 7 Series. As an additional success item, analysts believe that the new 5-er is ‘stealing’ market share from Audi’s A6 because it will be soon replaced by an all-new model and customers are put off by the idea of buying a new premium car that’s almost already outdated.
