  Report: BMW M6 Gran Coupe caught ahead of official debut 1352386800

  When it comes to the M version of the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, we've already seen spy photos and video of the car testing, but we've yet to see any shots of it in production trim until now. The new M6 Gran Coupe has done plenty of testing on the Nürburgring, but Car Magazine snapped a picture of the car sitting idle at the 'Ring, which was reportedly ...

  Spy Shots: Best look at BMW's forthcoming 1 Series GT 1352239020

  A new era of front-wheel-drive BMW vehicles, riding on a platform that is to be shared with Mini and dubbed with the 1 Series GT moniker, is out in the world. Following closely the form set by the BMW Concept Active Tourer that we snapped in Paris this year. The new small BMW has a revised roofline and A-pillar shape compared with the prototype vehicle ...

  Spy Shots: BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo refresh spotted 1352153760

  Although there have been plenty of rumors about the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo being canceled, it looks like BMW might be planning some visual tweaks to the odd hatchback as a possible last-ditch effort to improve sales. Judging by these spy shots, BMW is updating the front and rear fascias of the 5 Series GT, but the camouflage does a good job of ...

  Spy Shots: BMW 5 Series sedan facelift caught 1351687200

  The F10-generation BMW 5 Series arrived here in the United States for the 2011 model year, and the only substantial update thus far has been the addition of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine to the base 528i model for 2012. But as we can now see in these latest spy shots, a small nip/tuck is on tap for BMW's midsize executive saloon, meaning ...

  Spy Shots: Next BMW X5 M snapped storming the Nürburgring 1350252120

  BMW is getting ready to launch the third-generation X5 next year, and not wanting to make performance-minded customers wait too long, the X5 M is expected soon after the standard models. As seen in the video we posted last week, the new M-powered X5 is putting down some punishing laps at the Nurburgring. Now we're happy to supplement that video with some ...

  Rumormill: Next M3 may be lighter than expected, with lots more torque 1349448240

  Few cars stir up the rumormill quite like the next BMW M3. To that end, BMW fan-site BimmerPost was able to track down a source, apparently tied to the development of the next M3 (and M4), who divulged a few juicy bits on power, weight and timing. Horsepower in the F80 M3 and F82 M4 is said to be close to that of the E90/E92, which was rated at 414 hp. ...

  Spy Shots: 2014 BMW M3 engine revealed [w/video] 1347567300

  We've just received a set of spy photography that, for once, is focused on what is inside the car rather than what is visible on the exterior. That's exciting stuff, as the car in question is the next-generation BMW M3, and the engine in question is the stuff of great import where enthusiast drivers and Bimmerphiles are concerned. The most important fact ...

  Spy Shots: BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe spied testing 1346958060

  From here on out, anything with two doors in the BMW lineup will have an even-numbered designation, meaning that the 3 Series Coupe will now become the 4 Series. The big exception to this rule, of course, is BMW's new-found passion for the four-door coupe. The 6 Series Gran Coupe made its debut this year, but next year a smaller version of this design is ...

  Spy Shots: BMW 3 Series GT peels off more camo 1346261460

  We'll spare you the discussion about whether or not it actually makes sense for BMW to create a Gran Turismo version of its 3 Series, especially given the dismal sales of the larger 5 Series Gran Turismo here in the United States. And nevermind the fact that BMW calls its new 3GT "a style conscious car with the dynamic prowess to match its looks." (We've ...

  Spy Shots: Next BMW M3 sheds more camo, runs the 'Ring 1345057080

  Hey, look, more spy shots of the 2014 BMW M3! Our shooters caught this one lapping the Nürburgring, but alas, there isn't much more to see here than in our last set. To recap: The next-gen M3 will debut in concept form at next spring's Geneva show. BMW will initially offer it just as a sedan, but additional variants will be headed our way in ...

  Spy Shots: BMW Alpina B3 snapped while testing in Germany 1344457800

  No, this is not the next BMW M3. But it's still something pretty special. What you're looking at here is the Alpina B3, a hotter version of the new F30 3 Series that will be done in a similar fashion to the B5, B6 and B7 models that we've long drooled over. Signature Alpina changes like the revised lower front fascia, rear lip spoiler and modified ...

  Spy Shots: Face of next BMW M3 caught while testing 1343768220

  Behold our first clear glimpse at the 2014 BMW M3. Photographers spotted the high performance sedan undergoing hot-weather testing in Death Valley. Engineers peeled back a slab of heavy nose cladding for the first time, revealing the machine's menacing lower valance and headlamps. The design features sizable air intakes down low, and it looks as if a new ...

  Spy Shots: BMW Z4 nip/tuck spotted 1343073600

  If you thought that the addition of a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four would suffice as a mid-cycle refresh for the charming BMW Z4 roadster, think again. We've driven – and enjoyed – the new four-pot mill that speaks to both performance and efficiency, but as evidenced by this latest set of spy shots, some minimal tweaks are indeed in store ...

  Spy Shots: Here's your first look at the BMW 3 Series coupe, in M4 guise 1342640700

  As we all look forward to the F30 2012 BMW 3 Series spawning its forthcoming coupe bodystyle as well as a new M3, today's treat is a bit of both. Our spy shooters caught this car testing in Europe, which is clearly an M version of the 3 Series coupe. The wheels and quad exhaust are a dead giveaway that this is no ordinary 3, and of course, the ...

  Spy Shots: 2014 Mini Cooper gets mellow in yellow 1337191320

  Given the spate of new models Mini has introduced in the past few years, from the Clubman to the Countryman to the Coupe to the Roadster, it sometimes seems like BMW has forgotten about the original model, the plain old Mini Cooper hardtop. It was last redesigned for the 2007 model year, which seems like a long time ago because, well, it is. Which is why ...

  Spy Shots: BMW 4 Series cabrio caught with its top down 1336685340

  BMW did quite a bit to differentiate the new 3 Series from the old one, but arguably the biggest development in that department is the splitting of the model line. Because the new 3 Series is only the sedan and wagon. The coupe and cabrio are branching off as the 4 Series, similar to the 6 Series (as distinct from the 5 Series), the old 8 Series (separate ...

  Video: BMW M6 Gran Coupe caught running the 'Ring 1336409160

  Ah yes, the Nürburgring. Where else would you expect to find the forthcoming BMW M6 Gran Coupe? Well, other than on the BMW stand the Paris Motor Show in September or Cobo Hall next January. While we've already seen spy photos of the big 560-plus-horsepower sedan, 6post.com has snagged footage of the M6 Gran Coupe squealing tires and clipping apexes ...

  Spy Shots: BMW M135i caught in a 'Ring fling 1334953620

  Remember the rumors of BMW working on a hot 1 Series hatch just below the 1 Series M? The evidence trail was so faint that we called it "the most speculative sort of specualtion" when we posted on it six months ago. The trail and the car just got a lot hotter now that the very three-door hatch in question, the M135i, has been spotted burning serious gas ...

  Video: BMW M135i recorded racing around the 'Ring 1334091360

  While we've already reported that BMW's M135i concept from Geneva is headed for production, this footage all but confirms it. Britain's Car magazine has over a minute of video showing a rather sporting 1 Series three-door testing at the Nürburgring. Of course, this latest bit of news only re-fires the speculation-ometer for us North American BMW ...

  Spy Shots: BMW 4 Series Convertible spotted buttoned up for winter 1330988280

  It is expected that the BMW 4 Series – which will be what we used to call the 3 Series coupe and convertible – is expected to be revealed sometime later this year. Nevertheless, it still has much to hide, since it's wearing the same amount of all-sheathing camouflage as when we saw it four months ago. This is the convertible version, and it ...
