You’re looking at a concept version of the all-new BMW M4. At least that’s the claim from Belgian website Auto55 who also says the F82-based M4 Concept will be on show in Frankfurt next month. If nothing else it is the same colour as the car featured in the official video preview we got from […]

M3 watch: First official teaser
They’ve not given us much to go on but this 18 second video from BMW’s M people is the first official preview of the upcoming M3/M4. Well, we’re saying it’s for the M3, BMW just says they’re “preparing something new”. It’s expected BMW will release details for the F80 M3 and F82 M4 in the […]
M3 watch: It’s gonna be a lightweight
More news from BMW on the new F80 M3/F82 M4 comes to us via Top Gear who interviewed Matt Collins, BMW UK Product Manager for the 3 Series (among other things), at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The good news is Collins confirmed the dietary plans for the new M icon, which will start life […]
M3 watch: Carbon fibre roof likely
The application of camouflage on the roof of this F80 BMW M3 prototype is a fairly good indication the assumption it will be made from carbon fibre is on the money. It’s expected the new M3 will weigh at least 100kg less than the previous E92 model; perhaps even as much as 140kg less. Earlier […]
M3 watch: Six-pot turbo sounding much better
A new round of industry testing is currently underway at the Nürburgring. Bridge to Gantry was on hand to film some of the action and of most note are a couple of clips if BMW’s new F80 M3 prototype. Previously we’d had some concerns over the sound from the inline six cylinder engine, but it […]
M3 watch: Less weight please
Last week new details for the upcoming BMW M3 emerged predicting the F80 model could be up to 140kg less than the E92 model it replaces. Turns out BMW has gone back to the future by using the kerb weight of the two-generations-ago E46 as its target. So expect the F80 to weigh in somewhere […]
2014 BMW M4 back at the Ring
The 2014 BMW M4 coupé has been spied in action at the latest industry pool testing held at the Nürburgring. It’s just the second time the coupé has been spotted and aside from the new pics and video (below) there’s not much else to tell you. Inasmuch as there’s no new info relating to the […]
M3 watch: Under the bonnet son
BimmerPost takes us underneath the bonnet of the F80 M3 for our first look at the new inline six cylinder set to power BMW’s most revered M model. We still don’t know how many turbos will be bolted on to the engine, but looking at the two pipes coming from the intercooler it looks like […]
M3 watch: Snap, crackle and pop!
The Nürburgring-based based blog Bridge to Gantry brings us some new footage of the F80 M3 being tested on the Nordschleife. As the car exits the Karussell you can hear the trick gearbox doing its thing. However, as the new M3 drives further away you can also hear the turbocharged inline six cylinder hard at […]
M3 watch: Another rendering emerges
Bimmerpost user E92Alpine328i brings us another rendering of the forthcoming F80 M3. We don’t have much else to add after we showed you last Friday’s rendering, other than to say the lower spoiler and air curtain treatment on this one is ever so slightly less aggressive than before. Likewiese with the bonnet’s power bulge. Oh, […]
The BMW M2, the replacement for the 1 Series M Coupé, appears certain to feature a 2.0 litre four cylinder turbo engine, instead of an inline six as found in the current 1M. The move is likely to have as much to do with marketing and model positioning as anything else. Now that it has […]
M3 watch: Front-end rendered
WildSpeed has had a crack at a new rendering for the F80 BMW M3. It looks pretty good, too, although we’re not too sure about the ‘power bulge’ in the bonnet. This image follows the latest spy pics, which hinted at the air curtain design of the front spoiler. The treatment here is very much […]
