When Sony officially launches Gran Turismo 6 at the Ascari Race Resort on Thursday word is BMW will be there with the all-new M3 and M4. Not screen-based renders, but the real deal, in the metal that people can touch. And drive, perhaps. There’s been reports of BMW’s most important M car putting in laps […]
BMW M boss, Dr Friedrich Nitschke, says the future of the M5 will include all-wheel drive. However, AWD will be an option only and the M5/M6 will still be available in a traditional rear-wheel drive format as well. Those wanting all-paw traction for their M5 still have some time to wait. “On our cars we […]
Word on the street is the new F82 BMW M4 will be sold exclusively with a double clutch transmission. That follows the path started by the F10 M5; although, in an odd turn of events, you can buy an M5 with a manual box in North America. Anyway, having no manual in the new M4 […]
I was recently fortunate enough to be offered an entree sampling of the F10 BMW M5. It’s one of BMW’s most iconic models and I was eager to discover if hype and capability lived in harmonious existence. Once behind the wheel I was immediately comfortable, the seating position is good and while the seats don’t […]
BMW has announced pricing for the facelifted F10 M5, now with extra grunt as standard provided by the Competition Package.

As well as cosmetic changes to its exterior the M5 gets […]
BMW Canada has come good with this pretty cool promo video for the F10 M5. They call it “High performance art”. Sure, there’s likely a fair bit of CGI involved, but the overall effect is quite good. We have one question, though, what’s with the manual shift knob that would look more at home in […]
BimmerFile brings word that at least one of the mysteries surrounding the engine in BMW’s new F80 M3 has been solved. According to their discussions with former M GmbH chief Ludwig Willisch the next-gen M3 will use an inline six cylinder engine. Apparently a V6 motor, closely related to the V8 in the current F10 […]
The new to Australia BMW M5 will handle the official Safety Car duties at the Bathurst 12 Hour race this weekend. It follows on from BMW’s Safety Car program overseas which sees the F10M involved in the MotoGP series.

In his latest Drive clip Chris Harris has put a 2012 BMW M5 up against a 2012 Nissan GT-R? That doesn’t make any sense. Well, according to Google and YouTube it does. From the video description: “It’s perfect for YouTube search results, and thats why we’re doing it.” Okay, then. Well they are both considered […]
If you like big loping sports cars you’re going to love the BMW M6, just revealed in Coupé (F13) and Convertible (F12) form. Here at AUSmotive we thought the E63/E64 6 Series was, to put it bluntly, just plain ugly. But this new generation 6er may make us reconsider our opinion. The image above, shown […]
BMW Australia is busy burning rubber on Phillip Island to celebrate the local launch of the F10 M5. Well, when pricing for the car starts at $230,000 what’s a few grand on some rear tyres? In case you’ve forgotten the new M5 has a 4.4 litre twin turbo V8 that snarls its way to 412kW/680Nm. […]
