So this thing doesn’t have a hood? Wow, that’s kind of a rat rod thing for a German tuning firm to do, don’t you think? Ah well, one way or the other, it’s going to be hard to argue with a BMW M3 coupe that has been squeezed up to (gulp) 600 horsepower. Anyway, the [...]
After 11 years away from big time sportscar racing, BMW will be returning to the greatest sportscar race of them all: The 24-Hours of Le Mans. BMW said that it was dropping out of Formula 1 racing to concentrate on more practical applications of it’s racing technology and technological know-how, and this seems to be [...]
BMW made the X6, a crossover SUV like thing, and then they gave it the M (i.e. hot rod) treatment. So what would happen if a German tuning (i.e. hot rodding) firm were to give it even more stick? Say hello to the HAMANN TYCOON EVO M.

So Alpina is still out there. I should actually say ALPINA (all caps), because that’s the way they spell it. I used to see ALPINA stroked 3 Series now and again, and then they more or less disappeared. I thought that ALPINA was gone, but no, they’re still out there. They’ve had a go at [...]
As an answer to growing environmental and efficiency concerns, BMW has been threatening to do this for a while. Tech-wise though, there’s some interesting bits under the hood of the upcoming for 2011 135i from BMW.
