2023 BMW M2: You wouldn’t necessarily expect the fast BMW that is technically part of the company's lowly second tier range to be aiming at fastest BMW status. But then - as we’ve reflected - BMW’s M Division aren’t keen on anything but the fastest BMW model crown. Here, the M2’s looks convey brutal intent at answering that “what is the fastest BMW” question with a swift “the M2 is the fastest BMW”. But is it? M Division have shoe-horned their 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine out of the super fast M3 into the much smaller M2, to produce 453 bhp. If you specify the six-speed manual - please do to get the best out of this fast BMW M2 - you’ll find the limited 155 mph within reach when you’re on the nearest available long stretch of private road, making it easily the fastest 2-Series. But wait there’s more: add the M Driver package and you can reach 177 mph in your little fast rocket. Fastest car overall? Not quite, but what a car. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

BMW 7 series #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking The 7 Series is BMW's flagship car and is only available in a sedan bodystyle (including long wheelbase and limousine models). It traditionally introduces technologies and exterior design themes before other models in BMW's lineup.[2] The first generation of the 7 Series was powered by straight-6 petrol engines, and following generations have been powered by inline-4, straight-6, V8 and V12 engines with both natural aspiration and turbocharging. Since 1995, diesel engines have been optional in the 7 Series. Unlike the 3 Series and 5 Series sedans, BMW has offered a nonpureblood M variant, the BMW M760 6.6L V12 (at the time the most powerful BMW ever made, not to be confused with BMW 760 6.6 V12 which does not offer the same performance). The Alpina B7 (G12) serves as one of the high-performance variants of the 7 Series.

New 2024 BMW 9 Series: Rumors, Pricing & Upgraded Feature

So far, as a die-hard BMW fan and driver, I have managed to find excuses for BMW's oversized grilles, questionable design, questionable quality, confusing model lineup, and even exorbitant prices. However, I cannot explain or justify this. A performance sedan that is 0.2 seconds slower than the outgoing model and 25% heavier is a disgrace to a stellar lineup of cars that made BMW what it is today. https://lnkd.in/dyznUeK3

BMW will no longer produce the X4 crossover. Here are the key points from the article: BMW X4 Discontinuation: BMW will stop producing the X4 crossover due to overlap with the redesigned X2 and the larger X6. Market Coverage: The X2 and X6 are seen as sufficient to cover the market segment that the X4 occupied. X3 Refresh: The X3, a popular SUV counterpart to the X4, will receive a refresh this summer. Future Possibility: There is a chance the X4 might return as an electric vehicle (EV) in the future.

BMW M5's next gen is going to be FREAKING epic! Dropping July 2024! This is what we know so far of this amazing super saloon BEAST: 1. A roaring plug in hybrid setup from the XM SUV, we're talking a chart topping 735 HP and 735 lb-ft of torque. That's enough to make your heart skip a beat! 2. It's heavy metal with extra weight, but BMW's got this 'beefier brakes', rear-wheel steering, and possibly 22-inch wheels to handle the madness. 22 INCH!!!! 3. This isn't just any M5, it's a green machine too (like somebody cares), 60 miles in EV mode if you keep it under 87 mph. (Who's going slow in this beast though?) 4. Inside scoop it's likely packing the same V8 as the mighty M5 CS. Translation: it could blast past the current 2.8 second sprint to 60 mph. (That's EV times in a german super saloon.) All with all, the new M5 promesses to keep up to their name. THE wildest saloon for sale. Geeky extras for the fans: Price tags? Around $120k for the M5 and $140k if you're eyeing the M5 Competition. USD The interior is gonna be plush, think heated seats and fancy tech, with a sprinkle of eco-friendly conscience. Ready to slay some tires? This BMW M5 promises a DRIVE you won't forget.
