With the 2014 5 Series LCI (facelift) reveal being imminent, first official photo of the updated F10 5 Series sedan, touring and GT has been leaked. This follows up on the F10 M5 LCI being (inadvertently?) revealed by BMW on BMW.de a few days back, but these images have since been pulled from the website. 5 Series LCI – F10, F11, F07 As we’ve seen in past spy photos, the LCI 5 Series receiving a slightly restyled upper front fascia (most notably the headlights and the upper front fascia). The 2014 models will also include optional LED headlights with squared-off coronal rings. We still do not know the official list of mechanical changes, but 5 Series LCI changes have been to include updated steering and the N63Tu engine (445hp / 480 lb-ft) for the 550i. F10 M5 The leaked F10 M5 LCI images show that the 2014 M5 does not receive any front end restyling, save for the double slat M6-style grilles with M5 badge. Spyshots also show that the 2014 M5 will also include optional LED headlights with squared-off coronal rings. But, on the inside, it does receive a new steering wheel – from the M6, iDrive Touch system and new silver trim around the navigation screen. F10 M5 Competition Package The biggest change to come to the 2014 M5 LCI will be the availability of a Competition Package (7MA), which will include the following.

2013 BMW 135is Video Review

The highest 1 Series offering in the U.S., the BMW 135is, gets an extensive review by Cars.com. Equipped with BMW’s award winning TwinPower Turbo 3.0-liter inline-6 engine (N55) featuring Valvetronic throttle-less intake technology, direct injection and a single twin-scroll turbocharger, the 135is has been tuned to increase peak horsepower to 320 hp (+20 hp increase) and 317 lb-ft of torque (+17 lb.ft) while maintaining the same emissions level and MPG ratings of the 135i. A Performance exhaust system complements the increased engine performance and provides a sporty exhaust tone. The engine cooling system has been upgraded to match the additional performance output by adding a larger, and more powerful radiator fan and an auxiliary radiator.

BMW X6 M ‘Stealth’ by Inside Performance with 700 hp

BMW X6 M ‘Stealth’ by Inside Performance with 700 hp

Inside Performance tuning shop takes a standard BMW X6 M that turns into a beast on four wheels. Coming from factory with 550 horsepower, BMW’s first M model with all-wheel drive gets a significant power upgrade to 700 horsepower. This additional horsepower has been achieved through engine tuning, ECU modifications and a new sports catalytic converter. The 500 lb-ft of torque level was also raised to 627 lb-ft. To enhance its acoustics, the tuner includes a new steel flap-controlled exhaust system.

The exterior design has also been upgraded and includes one of the strangest, if not weirdest, paint jobs we have ever seen. The psychedelic camouflage comes in blue, light and dark gray, and white, and gives the car that weird look we mentioned. Other modifications include two added air intakes on the bonnet. Furthermore, the BMW X6 M by Inside Performance is also 4 inches wider than the standard car.

Inside the upgrades are just as complex. The car comes with an advanced data display system in the dashboard that displays the boost and gas pressure, as well as torque and horsepower outputs. The company has not revealed yet the new 0 to 60 mph times, but we expect this pimped-out X6 M to be quite fast.

Ohio-based Switzer Performance reveals an upgrade kit for the F10 BMW M5. The nearly $7,000 kit gives the M5 700 horsepower and 640 lb-ft (867 Nm), a significant upgrade from the stock 560 horsepower. The super sporty sedan also gets a new high-performance exhaust system with high-flow drop-in air filters and a removable engine control module that works in concert with the factory systems to coax higher boost levels from the BMW’s twin turbos. After the Ultimate Street Edition, we really wanted to continue to focus on usable, ‘no-excuses’ type cars,” says Tym Oberlin of Switzer Performance. “This P700 M5 package gives you that. It has the full factory emissions controls, it runs on pump gas, and it sounds exactly the way you’d expect a car like this to sound.”

Switzer Performance P700 BMW M5 with 700 horsepower

The new Switzer Performance P700 BMW M5 PKG is available now through Switzer Performance and Switzer-authorized dealers for $6995.

2013 BMW M6 Gran Coupe review by WHATACAR?

UK magazine WHATACAR? drives the all-new 2013 BMW M6 Gran Coupe. We have just published our own review of the four-door M6, but it’s always great to see how the same car relates to other journalists. The M6 Gran Coupe features a high-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology that produces 560 hp and 680 Newton meters (502 lb-ft) on tap between 1,500 and 5,750 rpm, while maximum output is developed between 6,000 and 7,000 rpm. The engine revs to a maximum of 7,200 rpm. Top speed is set to 300 km/h. Let’s see an excerpt from their review:

2013 BMW M6 Gran Coupe review by WHATACAR?

What’s the 2013 BMW M6 Gran Coupe like to drive? Put your foot down and the M6 accelerates with the ferocity you’d expect, and there’s barely any let-up – even when you reach autobahn speeds. You only need the smallest of gaps to carry out overtaking manoeuvres, then, but the straight-line performance is only part of the story. The M6 features bespoke alloy suspension and a trick limited-slip differential, plus BMW has swapped the regular Gran Coupe’s electro-mechanical steering for a hydraulic set-up in an effort to improve feedback. Sure enough, the M6 Gran Coupe feels very agile for a car that weighs the best part of two tonnes, but its size can be an issue on back roads and it’s not as involving as it should be because the steering still feels quite remote. The standard twin-clutch gearbox is harder to fault, letting you switch between smooth automatic shifts and ferociously fast manual ones at the touch of a button. What’s more, the M6 Gran Coupe is a surprisingly comfortable cruiser when you put the adjustable suspension in its softest setting. The engine sounds powerful when you rev it yet is virtually silent on the motorway, while wind noise is also well suppressed. However, the big tyres do generate a fair amount of road noise.
