BMW 3 Series celebrates its 40th anniversary

Has it been a short 40 years with the BMW 3 series? The 3 series had been BMW's original entry level model that made a large impact on many motoring enthusiasts over the years. Everyone at one point of time had actually yearned one of these in their garage. Be it the entry level models and the addictive M3 models.

Happy anniversary BMW 3 series. There should be many more 3 series models to come after this I am sure.

News: BMW launches the wind in your hair BMW M4 Convertible

For those that want the wind in your hair and miles of empty space above your head as well as the need for speed (and oversteer), you can now opt for the the BMW M4 Convertible. Yay!!!  4.4 secs to 100km/h with the DCT to those that want to know. It looks gorgeous with both the top up and down in my opinion.

PRESS RELEASE

The arrival of the new BMW M4 Convertible (fuel consumption combined: 9.1–8.7 l/100 km [31–32.5 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 213–203 g/km) sees BMW M GmbH making another alluring addition to its legendary high-performance sports car line-up.

The new model finds BMW M GmbH drawing inspiration from a long tradition: BMW’s high-performance sports car for track and road is entering its fifth generation in open-top form with this new chapter in its history headed “M4 Convertible”. 

BMW Celebrates the 30th Anniversary of the BMW M5 with a special model - M5 "30 Jahre M5"

Has it been that long? I suppose it has. Starting from the E12 M535i, the E28 M5, E34, E39, E60 and currently, the F10. And so.......To mark the 30-year anniversary of the BMW M5 – the founder member of the high-performance business sedan segment – BMW has come up with an exclusive, special model version of the current, fifth-generation model boasting performance that sets it apart from its stablemates.

The BMW M5 “30 Jahre M5” (30 years of the M5) will be produced in a limited run of 300 examples vehicles worldwide. Developing 441 kW/600 hp and peak torque of 700 Nm (516 lb-ft), the new special model (fuel consumption combined: 9.9 l/100 km [28.5 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 231 g/km) is not only the most powerful BMW M5 ever to emerge from series production under the auspices of BMW M GmbH, but also the most powerful car in the history of the brand.

BMW M235i c photos leaked -

This baby BMW is what a modern BMW E30 3series would look like if it were reborn in this decade. The photos of the BMW M235ic or whatever it's supposed to be called has been leaked. I don't care if it was on purpose or otherwise but it looks good.

Of course, the littlest BMW sedan is now called a 2 series. The 1 Series is a hatchback and everything with totally sportly intentions is evenly numbered - 2, the newly launched 4 series coupe, the 6 series coupe and so forth.
