V8 Harmony

2011 BMW M3 E92 Competition Package

If you're a BMW owner, you probably know that they aren't famous for making cars that love to boast about power. Luckily the M division got tired of making quiet powerful saloons and are now into having cars that make some noise. New for 2011, when you buy an M3 Competition Package, you have the option of souping it up with a new performance exhaust system. For $4,400, you will be able to make your M3 scream at 8000 RPMs allowing the whole world to know just how happy your car is. I must warn you though: when an M3 is happy, you might want to keep back a few feet. And now with this new exhaust system out there, you might want to move a bit further back. Anyway, listen carefully to the harmonious 4.4-liter V8 in the video below and see if you're M3 needs a tune-up.

It seems we'll see more of the letter M in the mere future. Recent reports have come in that BMW will be showing the concept model of their redesigned four-door five-seater spectacular, the M5, at the Shanghai Motor Show in April. Speculations have been received that the car will ditch the 5.0-liter 500 horsepower V10 from the previous generation, and will inherit BMW's all new 4.4-liter Twin-Turbocharged 600 horsepower V8 engine that was developed from the X5 M. They say that this car will improve fuel consumption and is actually faster. With the release of the concept model this spring, and since BMW have the tradition of making the production models and the concept models of their cars almost alike, this debut will give you the perfect idea of the what the car will look like when it debuts this fall at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This may seem like a long time, but not to worry. Because, if you are a 6-series fan, the Shanghai Motor Show will be unveiling the production model of the all new 6-series coupe, which will be on sale this summer. This is BMW's way of leaving something interesting to make room for something even more interesting.

Über Coupe

2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe

With stunning, aggressive looks combined with exhilarating power, the 1 Series M Coupe is one for the history books for being the next best thing to the 80's BMW M3. Under the hood is a 3.0-liter Twin-Scroll Turbocharged 340 horsepower Inline-6 engine connected to a 6-speed Manual transmission. 0 to 60 is reached in under 5 seconds on its way to a limited top speed of 155 MPH. When on scene at the NAIAS today, it stood out amongst a crowd of wannabe's. I truly believe that this car will revolutionize BMW through the letter M. Prices start at about $47,000 which seems expensive, but for a car that's powerful and light at the same time, this is pretty good value.
