  • BMW M5s and M6s, lined up for track day action at Laguna Seca

    BMW’s M cars, like many of us who’ve been around for decades, have packed on a few pounds over the years. While the original E28 M5 sedan tipped the scales at a svelte 3,417 pounds, the latest F10 M5 weighs in at 4,288 pounds, and that’s a lot of bratwurst to haul around. Recently, our own Nelson Ireson sat down with Road Testament’s Mike Spinelli (who’s also Editor Emeritus at Jalopnik and the current president of the International Motor Press Association) to discuss the evolution of the BMW M5 sedan and M6 coupe. Also joining in was BMW’s Matt Russell...

    Porsche has taken the wraps off its 2013 911 Carrera 4 range, including coupes, convertibles, and 4S models. If you love the 991, but simply must have all-wheel drive, one of these is your answer. We drove the 2013 BMW M5 and M6 back-to-back at Laguna Seca, and brought you our impressions--and a...

    2013 BMW M5 & M6: On Track At Laguna Seca

    BMW has caught a lot of flack for its latest generations of M Division cars, including the soon-to-be-replaced M3. People calling themselves purists deride them as heavy, soft, too luxurious, and unfocused. One thing they rarely call them, however, is slow. That's because, wherever you stand on...

    Power Boost For 2013 BMW 5-Series And 6-Series V-8 Models

    We’ve already given you all the news that’s fit to print about BMW’s 2012 M6 Coupe and Convertible models, including our first drive report on the open air version, published earlier this month. We’ve praised the M6’s TwinPower Turbo 4.4-liter V-8, which makes 560...

  • 2013 BMW M5

    Performance cars are all about performance, except when they're not. In the case of luxury-performance sedans like BMW's M5, there are numerous concessions made to comfort and civility that cost ultimate speed and handling. But the next M5 may make a big concession: no manual transmission, not even as an option. That’s according to the development boss of BMW M, Albert Biermann. Speaking with Inside Line, Biermann explained that the additional cost of engineering a car to offer a manual is never covered due to their low take-up rate. Because of this, the next-generation BMW M5 and M6...

    2013 BMW 640i Gran Coupe: First Drive

    This is not a good time for the indecisive. Just when you thought that BMW couldn't fragment the performance-luxury choices any more—with the X6 and the 5-Series Gran Turismo already appealing to the niche shoppers who are torn between pre-defined vehicle types like coupes, sedans, wagons...

    If you're at all familiar with chili peppers and the zing they bring, you know that a little heat's a good thing, but too much spice can completely numb the senses—or bite back. It's how we couldn't help but feel about the new 2012 BMW M6 Convertible, top down, in one of its many Sport-mode...

    Next BMW M6 To Offer Manual Gearbox Option

    When the BMW M6 Convertible and Coupe hit these shores this summer, both will come to market with a 560-horsepower, 4.4-liter V-8 engine shifted through a seven-speed M-DCT gearbox. While the M-DCT will undoubtedly execute smooth and swift gear changes and produce the lowest possible lap times (not...

    The configurator for the latest 2012 BMW M6 Convertible has just gone live on BMW’s website, offering potential buyers and fans alike to set up the car to their exact specifications. You may be wondering why there’s no configurator for the M6 Coupe just yet. That’s because BMW has...

    BMW has issued a worldwide recall affecting more than 1.3 million 5-Series and 6-Series models, including approximately 367,000 examples located in the U.S. The recall only affects the previous generation 5-series and 6-Series models, built between 2003 and 2010. In the U.S. the recall affects 2004...

    While much of the rest of the BMW lineup is downsizing to turbocharged four-cylinders, the M6 is downsizing to a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8. Yes, the V10 is gone, but the new model's power figures are right where they need to be, and, perhaps more importantly, so is the look. We've already seen the...

    Forbidden Fruit: BMW's 640d xDrive Coupe

    Here's one more thing for us Americans to complain about: Europe is getting a TwinPower Turbo diesel version of BMW's 6-Series, complete with all-wheel-drive, and we're not.

    2012 BMW M6 Preview

    With the new 6-Series Gran Coupe, the revised 6-Series Coupe and Convertible, and now the 2012 M6, BMW's 6-Series range is approaching the model proliferation of the 3-Series. In this case, that's a very good thing. First, lets hit the vitals: power comes from a 7,200-rpm redline, 4.4-liter...

  • 2013 BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe

    Fans of four-door coupes got a new car to love late last year when BMW took the wraps off the 2013 6-Series Gran Coupe. Today, the company revealed pricing on the four-door 640i Gran Coupe will start at $76,895--a premium of about $3,000 over the two-door model. Twice as many doors and more usable back seats for just $3,000? Sounds like a bargain--if you're a fan of the look. If you're not, there's always the 5-Series and 7-Series sedans, which essentially bracket the 6er Gran Coupe's price. Initial sales will start with the 640i model early this summer. The 40i in the name refers to the...

    BMW M6, M6 Gran Coupe Rumors: Early-Mid 2012, 600 HP

    The new 6-Series, both coupe and convertible, are very, very good grand touring cars. But another 200 or so horsepower, M Division suspension tuning, and some customization of the design inside and out could just make them brilliant--and according to the latest rumors, that could happen soon.
