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 […]
M3 watch: Front-end styling cues teased
If you look closely at the black veil on this next-gen F80 BMW M3 prototype you’ll soon form an idea of what the car’s front-end will look like. We can tell that by referring to the air curtain on the 1M and also the front-end of the M6. Indeed, we expect the M6 (pictured below) […]
F82 BMW M4 coupé spied
It might still be a couple of years away, but here’s a pretty good look at the new BMW M4, formerly known as the M3 coupé. Based on the F32 4 Series platform, the M4 will follow suit from the M3 sedan and use a turbocharged inline six cylinder engine. Spied at the Nürburgring recently, […]
Rufus Blacklock, take a bow. Thank you. You have created one of the coolest F1 animations we’re likely to see. He’s taken a line illustration of the cars from every championship winning constructor since 1950 and created what is a truly awesome video. Also included is Blacklock’s infographic applying the evolution of technology in F1 […]
New footage of the BMW F80 M3 sedan has emerged from the Nürburgring. When asked about the new M3 in a recent interview Dr Friedrich Nitschke, BMW M head honcho, promised, “We will surprise you with this new car.” Hmm, the surprise so far seems to be that it sounds a bit rubbish. Still, there’s […]
