At a tight track that is traditionally better suited to FWD cars like SEATs, BMW drivers Farfus and Priaulx stunned the field by locking up the front row in final qualifying for the World Touring Car Challenge (WTCC) race in Puebla, Mexico. The two BMW pilots speculated that the resurfaced track contributed to their increased [...]

For those of you who need a refresher (or perhaps even a first glance?) on where the M Division got its wings, here’s a good start. The E30 M3 still makes our pulse quicken every time we see it. With an unparalleled set of wins across a variety of racing series (touring car, hill climb, [...]

The soon-to-be-released BMW 5 Series GT, which as far as we know is still scheduled for an official launch at the New York Auto Show this spring, is currently on BMW TV (and thankfully in a color other than Geneva Auto Show Gold).

Thursday, 03. 19. 2009  –  Category: Aftermarket News, Main

We’re not sure what to make of the TP Checker (“Tire Pressure” NOT “Toilet Paper”) D1 Drift BMW’s engine (it’s a 2JZ-GTE Toyota plant??), but the car did win second place in the best of show category ‘tuning’ at the Tokyo Auto Salon.

New BMW Performance video/German lesson!

Wednesday, 03. 18. 2009  –  Category: BMW News, Main

BMW Group’s German site recently posted a new promotional video on the BMW TV section of their site, featuring Absatzmanager (what does that even mean?!) Thomas Kohl and a pair of Alpine White cars (135i Coupe and a 335i Sedan). We imagine this ties in directly to the official BMW Performance Power Kit revealed at [...]

Visually, we dig the solidly clean look, especially with the Alpine White paint on black rims. Based on the Japanese language site, it looks like it’s a pretty [...]

Our friends at autoblog (well, we’re not really friends YET, but hope that calling them ‘friends’ will make them more receptive!) just posted some pretty detailed spy shots of the new X1 with BMW’s paisley pattern du jour. While the camo may blur the lines a bit, these photos are quite clear and give a [...]

Mariani M6: Big Boots!

Sunday, 03. 15. 2009  –  Category: Aftermarket News, Main

Here’s one that’s new to us: Mariani’s M6 wide body. With EDC suspension set 55mm lower and massive 325/30 19″ inchers in the rear, this machine looks pretty damn low and mean! Custom exhaust options add to the mix, and deliver up to 49hp in gains (their claim). Should you happen to live in Europe, [...]

AC Schnitzer releases new 22″ Type 5 rim

Saturday, 03. 14. 2009  –  Category: Aftermarket News, Main

Aachen-based tuner AC Schnitzer recently launched a good looking rim for those BMW drivers who like them BIG. Sized at an impressive 22″ diameter, this wheel targets X5, X6 and F01/F02 7-Series owners. However, even with the large diameter, the new Type V rim in 9.5″ width weighs in at a measly 13.2kg, or just [...]
