The all-new BMW M3 (Codenamed G80) is here with improvements in every department. The M3 looks a lot like the basic BMW 3 series, but it packs the performance required of a race-car driver. That is evident from the fact that BMW has decided to keep the manual transmission in the mix for those of us who love shifting gears.

The 2021 BMW M3 will have the same 3.0-liter inline-6 engine found in the latest Supra. This engine, with the help of intelligent tuning, will make 473 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, while even better tuning will extract 503 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque from this engine for the M3 Competition.

The M3 Competition is a step further up the ladder when it comes to performance. It’s specifically built for those of you who are looking for some track frenzy. That’s especially true given that the Competition version gets an 8-speed transmission and all-wheel drive to go with the better-tuned engine.  

BMW is offering extra performance packages as well to enhance the abilities of the M3. Buyers can opt for the ceramic brake package, for example, to improve track performance.

In terms of looks, the new BMW M3 does not look much different than its predecessor. The same goes for the interior as the M3 follows in the footsteps of the BMW 3 series. There are a few tweaks made here and there, but the 2021 M3 gets the same interior as the top of the line 3 series. There is a 12.3-inch massive infotainment screen that blends into the dash. The user can control it using buttons and knobs placed right beneath the screen in the center console.

BMW adds safety just like they add power to their cars, and as a result, the BMW M3 gets several driver-assist and safety features.

The M3 has adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring system, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-keeping assist among more.

The base BMW M3 G80 starts at $71,895, while the M3 Competition is a few thousand dollars expensive at $73,795.

The long-awaited and most anticipated car of the year from BMW is no doubt the recently presented 2018 F90 BMW M5, just ahead the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.

This is a state-of-the-art car with plenty of technology and an impressive design language – even if some might have had more expectations on that matter – all packed with plenty of power and performance under the hood.

As usual, when it comes to launching new models, the German based carmaker released a series of videos which thoroughly explain the car`s exterior, interior, performance, driving modes and so on. They can be watched below, but not until hearing out about the car`s most important specifications.

Once going on the market next spring for at least 117,900 euros, the all-new F90 BMW M5 will be available in the First Edition variant (which by-the-way will cost 19,500 euros more than the standard), with a Frozen Dark Red Metallic exterior, gloss black accents or 20-inch lightweight alloy wheels.

In standard form, the “most emotionally engaging all-wheel-drive system” as the company likes to call the all-new M5, will stand out from the crowd with the same aggressive design lines that the M division has to offer – large air intakes for the front bumper, aerodynamic mirrors, sculpted aluminum hood and CFRP roof. Other highlights include the four-tailpipe sports exhaust system or integrated diffuser for the updated rear bumper.

The entire design looks smashing with the new 19-inch polished wheels with Orbit Grey finish, adding as well high-performance brakes with blue-painted six-piston calipers at the front and single-piston floating calipers at the rear.

The interior follows the same language design as the rest of the 5-Series, still adding the M sport steering wheel, M multifunction seats, Merino leather sport seats and much more.

The car`s main highlight is in my humble opinion, the raw power that seats under the hood. We are dealing here with a 4.4-liter M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine, with no less than 600 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque, allowing an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, at a top speed of 305 km/h. The 0 to 200 km/h sprint is also achieved in 11.1 seconds, thanks to the latest eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive system.

As seen in one of the videos below, the 2018 F90 BMW M5 xDrive is also equipped with the 4WD, 4WD Sport and 2WD driving modes, adding as well the Active M Differential at the back, as well as the Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus modes for the VDC (Variable Damper Control) system. Other mechanics include the new M Servotronic steering, M brakes or the M suspension system.

Full details are explained in the amazing videos presented below. Also, don’t forget to check out the media gallery with the all-new F90 BMW M5!

Even if the carmaker`s most luxurious 7-Series lineup presently lacks an M7 that could blow your mind with impressive driving capabilities, the 760Ki xDrive remains for the moment the hottest and most powerful variant that money can buy.

Recently, the model popped-up online in some impressive videos which highlight the car`s exceptional driving capabilities, exterior design, as well as its outstanding performance.

In case you live in the United States and still undecided whether you should go for such a high-end model or not, then our advice is to go for it. Even if the price is a little bit too spicy – you would have to pay however $153,800 MSPR – it is worth every penny.

In the media gallery below you get to enjoy the Excellence variant, which comes with the car`s M aero package, highlighted by the silver kidney grille, new chrome accents, as well as the 20-inch alloy with a W-spoke design, finished in Cerium Grey matte, but also offered with a choice of high-gloss polished finish.

The rear end is also highlighted by the exhaust system which provide a more “comfort-biased” visual effect, along with the “V12” badging on the trunk lid.

Performance wise, the BMW 760Li xDriver is offered with a massive 6.6-liter V12 engine, developing a mind-blowing 610 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 kmh in just 3.7 seconds, before reaching a total of 250 km/h. Also, if you get to opt for the M Driver`s Package, you can have its speed limited removed for a total of 305 km/h.

At the exterior, the 2017 BMW 5-Series Touring is extremely elegant, wearing the overall design of the rest of the range, yet adding its own styling bits, especially at the rear end.

As we can depict from the photos, the new 5-Series Touring looks magnificent with a much more evolutionary design, highlighted by the BMW kidney grille, long roofline which flows into the raked D-pillars. At the rear, the window is highlighted by the roof spoiler with integrated auxiliary brake light and air deflectors found on the sides. Also, the model stands-out from the crowd with wider horizontal lines and the L-shaped rear lights.

Inside, the 5-Series` interior is a real inspiration for the 7-Series, the range coming with a plethora of gadgetries and technology, including the semi-autonomous driving.

Pehaps a few have heard about the Eisenmann tuner company that mainly deals with heavy exhaust customizations for every BMW M models, older or newer, and its tuning projects are extremely impressive, as we can see videos below, which present an F87 M2 Coupe wearing one.

In this case, like almost any other cases involving a BMW product, Eisenmann has been closely working with iND Distribution, another important supplier of aftermarket parts for BMW carmaker, and their result of their collaboration can be as well seen in the videos below.

According to bmwcoop online magazine, the model in question has been long tested, the tuners aiming not to add a power boost but to ensure that the car keeps a clean yet an extreme engine soundtrack note. And for this, they had to carefully add some new bits that would make it really standout.

So, what are the standout parts that make the Eisenmann exhaust system so special? Well, it surely comes with some important bits.

First of all, the tuner has installed a downpipe-back design for the perfect sound, the rear tube being concealed under the rear bumper, allowing thus the exhaust to perfectly fit in the OEM styled holes, without spoilling the car`s aggressive design.

Also, the aftermarket specialists have also installed a valve control system as standard, which activates and deactivates by using the car`s computer controls and allowing an extremely ”nice” sound. Other features refer to the wide choice of finishes and styles, including stainless steel tips in brushed, black or polished finishes. In case you don`t want the stainless-steel, then you can also opt for the carbon fiber type. But you`d better watch the videos below to see how well have done the aftermarket shop on the F87 BMW M2 Coupe!

BMW Group turns 100 today and what better way to celebrate this extraordinary event than launching an exquisite concept that encompasses the company`s dedication and motivation troughout its long history.

We are talking here about the BMW Vision Next 100 concept which will lead the way for future and revolutionary models. The concept`s futuristic design was to some extend influenced by the i8 plug-in hybrid and reflects the company`s trademark in terms of self-driving capabilities.

Speaking about the car`s design, Adrian van Hooydonk, CEO of BMW Group Design, also praised the concept: “If, as a designer, you are able to imagine something, there`s a good chance it could one day become reality, so our objective with the BMW Vision Next 100 was to develop a future scenario that people would engage with.”

The BMW Vision Next 100 is a driver-focused concept that offers the “Alive Geometry” function, the driver opting between the Boost and Ease modes, meaning a manual or a full autonomous driving system. The instrument panel is also packed with 800 moving triangles that use intuitive signals to warn the driver about different road situations.

If the concept`s structure comes with carbon and plastic composites that replace the conventional steel, inside, the company replaced the traditional screens in favor of a windscreen projector which highlights the instrument panel and other useful tools.

There are also other transformation occurring, like the steering wheel and the center console retracting, or the headrests turning to the side for additional space.

The BMW Vision Next 100 will be followed by other three future concepts within the Group. We are dealing here with the Rolls-Royce Grand Sanctuary and other two from MINI and BMW Motorrad, at the end of the year.
