  • 2016 BMW M2 with M Performance parts, 2015 SEMA show

    BMW’s new M2 has made its North American debut at the SEMA show currently underway in Las Vegas. But the version on show isn’t a run-of-the-mill example as the car has been fitted with a number of official M Performance upgrades that will be offered to buyers of the sporty coupe when it goes on sale next spring. As the M2 is still new, there aren’t as many M Performance parts developed for it compared so some of BMW’s older models, but there are still some performance gains to be had by some of the parts. And don’t forget, the M Performance parts are developed...

  • 2016 BMW 435i ZHP Coupe

    On the E46 3 Series, the ZHP performance package (“ZHP” was actually the internal option package code) was the option every true fan of the 'Ultimate Driving Machine' wanted from the factory—and for good reason. Models were loaded with go-fast goodies including upgraded suspension, a short shifter, a hot cam—which raised the redline and power—and a trick M-Tech II body kit. So the idea that BMW is going to offer a BMW 435i ZHP Coupe for 2016 should be great news. After all, it seems like the company has covered its bases. ALSO SEE: 2016 Cadillac ATS-V First Drive...

  • 2015 BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe
