BMW already has its new 335is Coupe and Convertible models exclusive to the U.S. market but it looks like there’s at least one more 3-Series based limited edition model heading our way. And it’s not just any old 3-Series model, this latest one is based on the high-performance M3. The automaker has released these teasers, revealing the distinctive M fender vents and several other M styling cues. No other details have been released so speculation is rife.

Poor LeBron James. (Speaking figuratively, of course.) The NBA star receives a lot of swag for being one of the most important athletes in America, and nice guy that he is, James tries to give much of it away to charity. Unfortunately, some auto companies are making it hard for James to help those in need. We're speaking specifically of Kia. The Korean automaker has given James two cars in the past couple of years -- a Borrego and a Sorento -- commemorating his back-to-back MVP awards. Nice gesture, right? Only thing is, while James surely appreciates Kia's quality and reliability, he's...

We've seen the spy shots and the official teasers, but to date we've been left to speculate on the details of the 2011 BMW X3. Some of the mystery may be clearing away, however, thanks to statements from an anonymous BMW insider. The report from Autocar quotes the insider as saying there will be readily apparent visual ties to the previous model, making it easily recognizable as an X3. That might not sound like much of a challenge until you recall the X1 is soon set to slot in below the X3 in the U.S. (it's already on sale elsewhere in the world), and the X5 still sits above it. Beyond the...
