G-Power, the builder of 800-horsepower, 231-mph capable BMW M5s, recently got its hands on the latest-generation 2013 BMW M5, otherwise known as the F10, and straight away set about building up the power mods. With an all-new drivetrain onboard, G-Power’s engineers had to start from scratch...

The 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 made its debut last fall, and since then we've been waiting to learn what the 5.7-second to 60 mph luxury hybrid sedan would cost. Now we know: $61,845 including the $895 destination and handling fee. That's about $8,000 more than the Infiniti M Hybrid, which starts at...

A German website says that BMW M Group head, Dr. Friedrich Nitschke, has confirmed production of a diesel-powered, 5-Series M sedan.

Probably one of the worst kept secrets of last year was that the new ‘F10’ BMW M5 was going to be offered with a regular six-speed manual transmission, though only for North America. Today, at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, the manual-equipped M5 has made its official debut. The car will...

BMW is supplying 4,000 cars for dignitary transport during the upcoming Olympic games, but only 200 will be electric powered.

Throwing wicked powerslides in a 560-horsepower twin-turbo V-8 super sedan is child's play. Doing it on the beach, in the surf, is not. But the 2012 BMW M5 takes it in stride. Manhandled by precision driver Wolfgang Weber, the M5 gracefully slides, pirouettes, and donuts its way across the sand and...

From the makers of the world’s fastest BMW M5, the 225-mph capable Hurricane RR, comes a new high-powered sedan, this time based on the latest F10-series 2012 BMW M5. Just how fast this bad boy will go is yet to be determined as the speed freaks at German tuning firm G-Power have only just...

After being "confirmed" earlier this year, rumors of BMW's 5-Series diesel with M Division tuning--but not M5 badges--are sprouting fresh roots. This time around, the talk comes with a name: M550dX. Astute observers of BMW's nomenclature will note that that's not how cars are named here in the U.S...

While details on BMW's 2012 ActiveHybrid 5 have already been released, the automaker has chosen the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show to debut the production version of the car.

The 2011 SEMA show is humming already with most of the major manufacturers prepping multiple concepts for display. Subaru's BRZ coupe may get more power than its Toyota sibling, and a convertible could be possible, too. The 5-Series GT is now available with the M Sport package, and we have a host...

Earlier this year BMW announced that a new M Sport Package would be launched for the 5-Series Gran Turismo this fall and right on cue the first images and details of the performance package have been revealed.

Japanese tire giant Toyo Tires is bringing four customized vehicles to the 2011 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada, next week, and if you happen to live in the U.S. then you can actually win one of them. That’s right. Toyo will give away this...

Top Gear's Stig may or may not be the most incredible, alien-talented driver on the planet, depending on the fanboy status of who you're talking to, but the 2012 BMW M5 is a known quantity. Here, the two come together in a tasty bit of teasery goodness, more info of which is detailed on the show's...

The ActiveHybrid 5 joins the BMW lineup as the third hybrid for the brand. Packing plenty of power and advanced technology, it should prove an interesting choice from green-minded luxury buyers.

In the world of high-end trackday cars, there are many choices and few wrong answers. One of the best answers is likely the Riley MkXXV, which is powered by the bored and stroked 5.8-liter S85 V-10 (yes, the one from the last-gen M-5) shown in the dyno video below. The sound alone is worth the 1:42...
