BMW M2 CSL: “We haven’t decided yet”, says BMW M CEO

Auto and Cars

BMW M2 CSL: “We haven’t decided yet”, says BMW M CEO One of the hottest topics in the BMW community in the last few years was the BMW M2 CSL. Many of our reports focused on the rumored lightweight M2, but no official word from BMW ever came forward. Until today. In a social media video posted by BMW M, Markus Flasch, the M CEO, talks about the unicorn model. “To be honest, we haven’t decided yet,” said Flasch. “But we will do more special models than in the past. We want to show that our cars are driven from the racetrack and we want to close the gap between a Competition high performance car and a racecar. And a CS or maybe even a CSL are alternatives that we take a closer look at. ” Of course, the answer is rather evasive, but at least, the M2 CSL is fina...

Photo Comparison: BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe vs Audi A3 Sedan

Auto and Cars

Photo Comparison: BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe vs Audi A3 Sedan When BMW decided to create the 2 Series Gran Coupe, it had to know that it was entering in a new segment. Previously, the Bavarian brand lacked a small sedan to go along with cars like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class (or A-Class). And when BMW did compete with its German rivals’ least expensive cars, it did so using rear-wheel drive-based coupes. Now, the Bavarians have to go toe-to-toe with the segments best cars and one them is all new, as of today — the Audi A3 Sedan. Audi had already launched the A3 Sportback a few weeks back and we compared it to the 1 Series hatchback. Now, though, the A3 Sedan is here and it’s ready to take on the 2 Series Gran Coupe directly. What’s interesting is that bot...

BMW 2002 Hommage Turbomeister was such a stunning concept

Auto and Cars

BMW 2002 Hommage Turbomeister was such a stunning concept The BMW 2002 Hommage Turbomeister is arguably one of the best looking concepts revealed during the previous decade. The BMW 2002 Hommage originally debuted in Spring 2016 at the Concorso d’Eleganza in Villa d’Este, essentially a sportier M2 Coupe which evokes the spirit and style of the iconic 2002 Turbo. For the same year’s Monterey Car Week, the concept car has undergone a makeover. The new orange and black livery features the word ‘Turbomeister’ emblazoned on the sides, rear bumper and bonnet. It’s meant to celebrate BMW’s relationship with the turbocharged car, as the original 1973 BMW 2002 Turbo “became the first series-produced vehicle in Europe to feature turb...

2021 Audi A3 Sedan – interior Exterior and Drive (Cool)

Auto and Cars

http://youtu.be/xHo5QPy0Dh0 Car T-Shirts: https://teespring.com/stores/zaglop-car Audi A3 sedan scores bold looks, mild-hybrid tech The new sedan isn't much larger than before. Stretching out to 177.6 inches, the new A3 is only about 1.6 inches longer than the current four-door and 5.9 inches longer than the updated Sportback that debuted last month. The 103.8-inch wheelbase is unchanged, however. Elbow and shoulder room increase by less than an inch and trunk capacity remains unchanged at 15 cubic feet, with the rest of the dimensions sticking closely to the established script. Within its compact footprint, the new A3 boasts a much more aggressive design. A deep undercut into the sedan's flank emphasizes the continuous shoulder crease that runs from the headlamps all the way back to the...

VIDEO: 1941 BMW 328 is one of Edmunds’ Mark Takahashi’s Best Drives

Auto and Cars

VIDEO: 1941 BMW 328 is one of Edmunds’ Mark Takahashi’s Best Drives One of the best parts about this job is going on exciting adventures and driving cars we’d never have been able to otherwise. For instance, I don’t think I’d ever have been able to drive a classic Morris Mini Cooper S through Big Sur, or snaked a BMW 340i through the most magnificent and remote Copper Canyon in Mexico, without this job. However, my experiences pale in comparison to some other veteran journalists, who’ve done some incredible things. For instance, Edmunds’ Mark Takahashi fondly remembers his time with a 1941 BMW 328. To be more specific, it was a ’41 BMW 328 Berlin-to-Rome Roadster, one of only three ever made and his example was the only one still alive. Not only did h...

Lightweight builds an M2 Convertible, faster even than the M2 CS

Auto and Cars

Lightweight builds an M2 Convertible, faster even than the M2 CS German tuning shop Lightweight Performance is unveiling their latest project. A BMW M2 Convertible was commissioned by a customer years ago, but it has since been refined. Thanks to new upgrades, the custom BMW M2 Convertible is now even faster than the upcoming BMW M2 CS. AutoBild has recently taken the Lightweight BMW M2 Convertible to Sachsenring and recorded a lap time of 1:34.15 minutes. That’s slightly faster than the supposed time of the M2 CS – 1:34.98 minutes. The outstanding lap time is made possible by a conversion that started with a regular BMW 2 Series Convertible. The engine, transmission, axles and brakes were taken from the M2. The base engine is the 370-hp N55 engine of the original M2, ...

G82 BMW M4 to get new competition from a Hybrid AWD Mustang

Auto and Cars

G82 BMW M4 to get new competition from a Hybrid AWD Mustang Traditionally, BMW never really had to worry about the Ford Mustang. However, our current time is anything but traditional. The next-generation Mustang is said to be powered by a hybrid powertrain with all-wheel drive, which could very well be a problem for the BMW M4. While a great sports car in its own right, the current Mustang isn’t really an M4 competitor but that really is only due to brand prestige and luxury. Having driven both, the Mustang is actually creates the bigger grin on the ‘ole face. However, with the next-gen Mustang getting an all-new, very sophisticated powertrain, it could actually become a much more direct rival. According to this new report from Autocar, the next-gen Mustang is going to get ...

What’s Your Dream First Road Trip After Quarantine?

Auto and Cars

What’s Your Dream First Road Trip After Quarantine? This is a trying time for us all. Never in our lifetimes has a virus affected the world as much as this Coronavirus has and it’s been incredibly difficult on all of us. As car enthusiasts, we obviously want to get out and drive but so many of us can’t, due to government-mandated lock-downs and quarantines. While the inability to go for a fun drive should be the last of anyone’s worries, it’s still something we miss dearly as gear-heads. So, to dream of better days, let’s discuss our dream road-trip for when this is all over; what’s the first road trip you’d like to take when our lives go back to normal? For this little exercise, our dream road-trips don’t have to be very realistic. You ca...

Video: How to Activate Trailer Mode in your BMW SAV

Auto and Cars

Video: How to Activate Trailer Mode in your BMW SAV It may seem peculiar to some people but BMW’s are actually used to towing things. Some BMWs are even rated for some serious load capacities, especially the X7 and X5 models. But no matter which one you choose, the procedure to get the tow hook to unravel and to get a trailer attached is pretty much the same, as explained by the latest ‘how-to’ video published by BMW on its Youtube channel. On modern BMW’s, the tow hook is usually hidden away, under the rear bumper, whenever you don’t use it. It has a mechanism that allows it to change its position, depending on whether you need it or not. The hook also comes with a plug that provides power for the trailer or whatever you’re towing. The car will autom...

VIDEO: MINI Electric hits the track to see how it handles

Auto and Cars

VIDEO: MINI Electric hits the track to see how it handles One of the newest small, electric cars to hit the market is the MINI Electric, an all-electric hatchback with very similar powertrain setup to the BMW i3. It’s also MINI’s first true attempt at an EV production car. While there was the MINI-E a few years back, that was more of a public beta test for electric vehicles, as it was a very low-volume, highly-exclusive, lease-only special. Now, though, the EV MINI is here as a true-blue electric hatchback and, in this new video from One Lap, it hits the track to see how it performs. It like look like your average MINI Cooper but underneath its skin lies and entirely different powertrain from what you’ll find in any of the brand’s other products. Essentially, wha...

Which to Buy: New BMW M850i Coupe or Used Rolls-Royce Wraith?

Auto and Cars

Which to Buy: New BMW M850i Coupe or Used Rolls-Royce Wraith? Prior to the launch of the BMW 8 Series, we — along with all other enthusiasts — were excited about the return of the famous nameplate. Now that it’s here, though, it seems that customers don’t share that same excitement. As we’ve recently learned, 8 Series’ are sitting on dealer lots collecting dust, while customers take their $100-grand to Porsche dealerships. There are a few key reasons why the 8er isn’t selling, though we won’t get into all the different ways of saying “the Porsche 911 is better”. Instead, I’d like to propose another interesting alternative, one from within the BMW Group — a used Rolls-Royce Wraith. While the flagship of the 8 Series ...

The BMW i8 Roadster photographed in a scenic landscape

Auto and Cars

The BMW i8 Roadster photographed in a scenic landscape We bring you fresh images with the i8 Roadster captured during the Media Scenic Drive event from 2018. Spoiler alert: it also contains photos of the iconic BMW M1 supercar. The i8 will forever remain a ground-breaking, visionary sports car. When it went into production in 2014, the innovative plug-in hybrid was a pioneer on all fronts. Total sales of all i8 versions from 2014 up to April 2020 exceeded 20,000 units worldwide, with the production of the trailblazing model having ceased just recently. Just like classic E31 8 Series, the i8 will go down in history as a true BMW icon. Even though it is not entirely justifiable to label it as a very successful model given the scarce sales numbers, it’s safe to say that the i8 accom...

#StaySafe: BMW M invites us to the NIGHT DRIVE In this period of almost total isolation, BMW M invites everybody on a night tour that will stir good memories of the days of total freedom. We have to recognize our life has completely since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. What was initially thought of no threat became the worst nightmare globally. With most of economic activities shut down and many on the verge of total collapse, the world we knew changed dramatically overnight and for the good. In the quest and desire to come to the normal life we had before the CoVID-19 crisis, we can only question ourselves how much will it take in the end and how we will deal with and handle this lockdown. This is a challenge for many of us, but we must as well feel blessed if we have the c...

BMWBLOG Podcast: Episode 24 — BMW 4 Series, M4 and X8 M It’s about that time again, time for you to hear the soothing sounds of a thirty-year-old man trying hard to hide his awful New Jersey accent, talking about cars. In this week’s episode of the BMWBLOG Podcast, I break down some of the week’s more interesting topics, such as the BMW 4 Series and i4 Concept, the upcoming G82 BMW M4 and the first-ever bespoke M Division product, BMW X8 M. First up is the BMW 4 Series, as there was a recent render of the upcoming Gran Coupe version that seemed to cause a bit of a stir among BMW enthusiasts. Most fans seem to have a big issue with the new grille design and the render didn’t do much to quite those complaints. If anything, it amplified them. Obviously, it was just ...

Video: BMW M8 Competition vs GT-R and Ferrari GTC4 Lusso drag race

Auto and Cars

Video: BMW M8 Competition vs GT-R and Ferrari GTC4 Lusso drag race Remember the times when no BMW could keep up with a Nissan GT-R from standstill in a drag race? As a matter of fact, remember when the GT-R used to beat everyone and earned its ‘Godzilla’ nickname? Those times are long gone and the video below proves it. The GT-R has truly aged since it debuted over a decade ago, and a new model is just around the corner. For now, the BMW M8 Competition is proving itself to be a bit too much for the aging Godzilla. The guys from CarWow put together a rather interesting drag race once again. This time they got three rather different cars lined up. Normally, Nissan GT-R fans wouldn’t even look at a BMW unless it just drove through their line of sight. That’s also tr...

VIDEO: Rory Reid breaks down the BMW 1 Series and Audi A3

Auto and Cars

VIDEO: Rory Reid breaks down the BMW 1 Series and Audi A3 Now that the BMW 1 Series is here and has made the chassis switch to front-wheel drive, it’s competing in an entirely new arena for the BMW brand. While the Bavarians have made premium hatchbacks before, they’ve always been rear-wheel drive-based, giving them a uniquely different taste. Now, though, the 1 Series powers the same axles as every other premium hatch, all of which come from brands that have been doing so for much longer. So is the new 1er good enough to take on an established rival, such as the Audi A3, for example? In this new video from AutoTrader, Rory Reid breaks it down. Being that there’s a bit of a Coronavirus outbreak going on, he can’t exactly test both cars out in the real world. Inst...

Video: BMW M850i Gran Coupe Review complains about iDrive

Auto and Cars

Video: BMW M850i Gran Coupe Review complains about iDrive The new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe is just one of three different body styles BMW is offering for the resurrection of the 8 Series badge. Some might say it’s the best choice out of the three, even though I would probably go for the convertible, but that’s all down to personal choice. The M850i is, however, the best model to get, no matter the body style, as it has everything you need: power, sound and great overall performance. The people over at Roadshow took the BMW M850i Gran Coupe out for a spin and came back impressed. It’s hard not to be impressed by this car, to be honest. It does so many things right, you’ll have to start splitting hairs to find something wrong with it. And yet, since there’s no...

‘FREE NOW’ taxi ride-hailing by Daimler and BMW announces restructuring According to Reuters, the ‘FREE NOW’ taxi ride-hailing service run by Daimler and BMW announced on Thursday a corporate restructuring. The new plan brings job cuts, along with a new merger. The “FREE NOW” is rumored to merge with the French app Kapten.

TEST DRIVE: 2020 BMW M340i xDrive Touring – The Ideal BMW

Auto and Cars

TEST DRIVE: 2020 BMW M340i xDrive Touring – The Ideal BMW The BMW 3 Series range has already out on the market for quite some time. Yet, there is one model which we were anticipating for a long time. While we have been able to test drive the new 3er generation G20 / G21 to its fullest, there was one model which we didn’t get our hands on. Until now. It’s the all-new 2020 BMW M340i xDrive Touring, the first-ever M Performance model of the 3 Series Touring. The car shares its engine and chassis components with the M340i Sedan and is the most powerful model of the 3 Series Touring range. Several M specific options, such as the adaptive M sport suspension, the M sport differential and the M sport brakes come standard and want to justify the M badge on the back of the car. In add...

Drag Race: BMW M2 vs. Tesla Model 3 Performance and Alfa Romeo 4C

Auto and Cars

Drag Race: BMW M2 vs. Tesla Model 3 Performance and Alfa Romeo 4C A drag race in the rain brings together the Tesla Model 3 Performance, alongside the BMW M2 Competition and the Alfa Romeo 4C. Basically, an electric car against two, fun, but conventionally-powered sports cars. What do they have in common though? Not much really. The Tesla Model 3 Performance comes with a dual-motor and 450 horsepower. But it also features an all-wheel drive system. The BMW M2 Competition is powered by a 3.0 liter six-cylinder turbocharged engine making 405 horsepower. Being a BMW sports car, it send the power only to the rear wheels. And it’s a manual as well. Furthermore, the M2 Competition with a manual transmission weighs around 3600 lbs (curb weight). On the last lane we have the Alfa Ro...

VIDEO: E46 BMW 3 Series Compact is a Fun Bargain

Auto and Cars

VIDEO: E46 BMW 3 Series Compact is a Fun Bargain Let’s be honest, most car enthusiasts can’t afford brand-new BMWs. As a premium brand, the cost of entry is quite high for the Bavarian brand, so it’s not as if every enthusiast can get in. Which is why so many enthusiasts turn to used, much older, much cheaper Bimmers to suffice. But picking which used Bimmer to buy can be tricky. So turning to videos like this one from Car Throttle can help you choose. In this new video, CT chooses seven daily drivers that are both cheap and fun. One such car is the E46-generation BMW 3 Series Compact. There were only two generations of 3 Series Compact and neither of them were very loved when new. The E46-generation is the newer of the two and arguably better looking. Though, neither ...

The model name was the BMW M4 Heritage Edition and was limited to 750 units. One of those units just showed up at the Charlotte-based Hendrick BMW.

BMW iDrive deemed least distracting infotainment system by What Car

Auto and Cars

BMW iDrive deemed least distracting infotainment system by What Car Screens inside our cars are already the norm. I was recently looking at the interior of an E46 3 Series model and there was no screen inside. Sure, some higher-end models did have a small screen on the dash, but it was the exception and, it didn’t have nearly as much functionality as they do now. These days though, the interiors of our cars, including BMW models, are dominated by screens. In some cases, they could easily pose as TVs. All of that info and all those animations do distract you from the road, as many studies have found recently. It seems that the more functionality a car’s infotainment screen offers, the more time we waste looking into that. So, which systems are the most distracting, ergo the m...

My Opinion: I Hope the BMW X8 M — Whatever It is — Sells Well

Auto and Cars

My Opinion: I Hope the BMW X8 M — Whatever It is — Sells Well Last Summer, I had the chance to talk to BMW M CEO Markus Flasch about a few different topics, while at M Fest in Canada. One of the questions I asked him was about the possibility of a bespoke M car, something developed entirely by the BMW M Division and not based on a pre-existing BMW model. Not only did he say such a car was possible but he said it was likely. Now, fast forward nearly a year, we know a bespoke M car is on the way and that it’s likely coming in the form of a BMW X8 M. Upon learning of the X8 M, fans were actually a bit disappointed. Sure, it’s going to be a standalone M product but not exactly what the fans wanted. Instead, fans would prefer something smaller, lighter and sportier, preferably wi...

Future G70/G71 7 Series coming in 2022: What we know so far Here’s round up of the essential details that emerged concerning the forthcoming G70/G71 generation of the BMW 7 Series, expected to be unveiled in 2022. We are yet to see camouflaged test prototypes for the future 7 Series, but there’s a good chance they’ll hit streets this summer. Previously scooped G12 LCI prototypes indicate an increased likelihood for another, this-time mild facelift of the current generation to come out in 2020. The future G70/G71 7 Series is scheduled for world premiere in 2022, most likely during summer as in the case of the G11/G12 and F01/F02 generations. The new luxury flagship of BMW will feature a host of state-of-the-art powertrain technologies. The G70/G71 will be sitting on en...

The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe (F44) celebrates Czech market debut

Auto and Cars

The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe (F44) celebrates Czech market debut We bring you fresh pictures of the new 2 Series Gran Coupe from the Czech market launch. The first of its kind, the F44 generation is underpinned by the new FAAR front-driven platform to be also found on the F40 1 Series. The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe has left many of us undecided or intrigued. Yes, it might have a quirky look if you expect it to act like a mini-8 Series Gran Coupe. The proportions of the body are quite controversial and need time to get accustomed to them. Since I first saw it, the F44 2 Series has managed to grow a bit in my eyes. While it still flaunts a rather bulky silhouette, I must say the overall styling is better than the styling of the new 1 Series. Of course, I would have liked more athlet...

Car Mag pits E30 BMW M3 vs Mercedes-Benz 190E Cosworth

Auto and Cars

Car Mag pits E30 BMW M3 vs Mercedes-Benz 190E Cosworth When it comes to famous automotive battles, there are a couple that immediately come to mind; Mustang versus Camaro, Corvette versus 911 and Ferrari versus Lamborghini. However, there’s an older battle, which admittedly only lasted one generation, that was absolutely epic in its time — the E30 BMW M3 versus the Mercedes-Benz 190E Cosworth. Back in the ’90s, these two cars had absolutely fantastic battles, both on road and on track. During their DTM days, they were also the two coolest cars on track. But now that decades have past since they’ve done battle, what are they actually like? In this comparison, we get to see what each of these legends is like to drive. What’s fascinating is the fact that, des...

RENDERING: Future BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe with M Sport Package

Auto and Cars

RENDERING: Future BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe with M Sport Package As more and more spy photos of the BMW 4 Series keep popping up, we’re getting a better and better idea of what it’s going to look like. It goes without saying that the focal point of the next-gen 4er is going to be its new grille design. BMW has taken the iconic kidney grilles and enlarged them to the point of caricature. This new design direction has caused quite a bit of controversy among the BMW fanbase, to put it lightly. Which is why we’re very interested to see what you readers have to say about this new 4 Series render. The render we see here is based off of the recently-unveiled BMW i4 Concept, just with its EV-ness removed and a more traditional face grafted on. So it gets more traditional headlig...
