  • Teaser for 2014 BMW M3

    Keep this video on repeat as those growls you hear are the sweet sounds of the new straight-six engine developed for the latest generation of the BMW M3 and the all-new M4 (basically a new M3 Coupe). Also shown in the video is a small sliver of the new M3’s power dome hood, whose yellow hue is likely to be the car’s hero color. BMW is set to preview either its new M3 or M4 (or perhaps both) in concept form at the 2013 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance later this week and will follow up with the production versions at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show in January. The cars are likely...

  • BMW 335i Gran Turismo, 2013 Geneva Motor Show

Expect to see the same engines used in other 3-Series models beneath the hood of the 3-Series Gran Turismo, including a 240-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbo...
