The cartel office said that purchasing prices for long steel products, the steel type aff...

BMW M: The M2 CS weight is the same as the M2 Competition Our podcast with BMW M CEO Markus Flasch goes live on Monday, but before that, there are a few things we can share. Yet, we still encourage you to subscribe to the podcast for some interesting topics. One of the main things we’ve discussed with Flasch was the all-new BMW M2 CS. The M2 Clubsport is shaping up to be the darling of the BMW community, so naturally, it’s a hot topic today. And nothing gets people going more than the weight of new cars. When asked whether the BMW M2 CS weighs the same as the M2 Competition, Herr Flasch said the following: “They weigh about the same, all things considered, unless you equip the M2 CS with the carbon ceramic brakes which save about 25 kilograms (55 lbs),” Flasch told us. “The reason for ...

Video: BMW M135i Drag Races A35 AMG, Audi S3 and Golf R This is it! The time has come to put BMW’s latest hot hatch up against its competition in a proper drag race. The guys from CarWow put together one of their drag races and they got the BMW M135i xDrive to go up against its main rivals, the Mercedes-Benz A35 AMG and the Audi S3 alongside an outside, the Volkswagen Golf R. I’m saying the Golf is an outsider because it’s not a premium car but the specs will tell you otherwise. That’s because the Golf and the Audi have the exact same drivetrain. Both cars have 2-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engines under the hood good for 300 HP and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque. Both are all-wheel drive and both use the same transmission. As a matter of fact, there’s very little to set them apart, ex...

BMW Orders batteries worth over €10 Billion from CATL and Samsung The electric revolution seems to be in full swing. Even though some manufacturers – BMW included – are still considering hydrogen as a potential alternate to ICE cars as well, customers are demanding more EVs than ever and their demands will have to be met. Last year BMW announced the signing of its biggest battery order in history from Chinese manufacturer CATL but today, that milestone was overshot, yet again. BMW announced an order volume increase to €7.3 billion from CATL alone, with an additional order of €2.9 billion from Samsung SDI. These batteries will be done to BMW’s specifications and will be used for fifth-generation electric drive trains from 2021 out. Initially, BMW announced a deal with CATL worth €4 billi...

SPIED: New BMW X2 xDrive25e scooped on streets After the new X1 LCI generation received its plug-in hybrid variant, BMW will extend the technology to the X2 Sports Activity Coupe as well. Slated for debut next year, the new BMW X2 xDrive25e will mark the entrance of the compact SAC into the world of electrification. The new plug-in hybrid X2 is just one of the many electrified models that BMW is planning to roll out until 2023. The test car that was recently spotted by spy photographers could have easily gone as a standard ICE version. The only relevant signs we are dealing with a plug-in hybrid is the door placed “Hybrid Test Vehicle” sticker and the opening cover for the charging port, positioned on the front left wing. Pictured: BMW X2 The series X2 xDrive25e will have a seamless in...
