<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><sma ll>2011 BMW 5 Series M-Sport - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em></div> <br /> For those <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw/#">BMW</a> fans who appreciate the more aggressive looks of the automaker's M division models but either don't have the budget or don't need their full performance capabilities, Bimmer also offers M-Sport packages that take you part way there. With the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/5+series">5 Series</a> now making its way to dealers and customers in Europe and North America, the corresponding M-Sport pack can't be far behind. <br /> <br /> As with previous iterations, this prototype suggests that the new model will receive a deeper front air-dam with larger intakes, side sill extensions and a re-contoured back bumper to accommodate the larger the tailpipes. We don't have any interior shots but M-Sport packages typically including some trim upgrades like aluminum or carbon-fiber, along with more aggressive sport seats and potentially a different steering wheel.<br /> <br /> Mechanical changes with M-Sport packages are typically limited to wheels and tires, brakes and perhaps some suspension bits. Both the M-Sport and M5 are expected to debut at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/paris-motor-show/">Paris Motor Show</a> in September.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2011-bmw-5-series-m-sport/">Spy Shots: 2011 BMW 5 Series M-Sport</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2011-bmw-5-series-m-sport/#3027390"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/05/bmw-5-m-pack-1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2011-bmw-5-series-m-sport/#3027389"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/05/bmw-5-m-pack-2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2011-bmw-5-series-m-sport/#3027386"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/05/bmw-5-m-pack-4_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2011-bmw-5-series-m-sport/#3027387"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/05/bmw-5-m-pack-5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2011-bmw-5-series-m-sport/#3027388"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/05/bmw-5-m-pack-3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /> [Source: CarPix]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/31/spy-shots-new-bmw-5-series-m-sport-package-out-and-about/">Spy Shots: New BMW 5 Series M-Sport package out and about</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Mon, 31 May 2010 20:09:00 EST.

BMW art car by Jeff Koons unveiled for 24 Hours of Le Mans [w/video]

<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><sma ll>Jeff Koons BMW M3 GT2 art car - Click above for high-res image gallery<br /> <br /> </small></strong></em></div> <div style="text-align: left;">The latest in a 35-year-long run of <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw/">BMW</a> art cars was unveiled in Paris today ahead of its participation in next week's 24 hours of Le Mans. The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/m3">M3</a> GT2 was painted by American artist Jeff Koons with a multicolored theme that should look pretty wild when photographed running down the Mulsanne straight after dark. <br /> <br /> Koons first approached BMW about creating an art car in 2003, but the project finally came to fruition earlier this year. Over the last four months Koons has worked closely with the BMW Motorsports squad on the application of the graphics to ensure they didn't have any negative affect on the car's aerodynamics. <br /> <br /> Several of the 16 previous art cars have also run at Le Mans including the very first one created by Alexander Calder in 1975 and the 1999 V12 LMR painted by Jenny Holzer. This year the #79 art car will be driven by Andy Priaulx (GB), Dirk Müller (DE) and Dirk Werner (DE) while the standard white "Joy"-liveried #78 will be piloted by Jörg Müller (DE), Augusto Farfus (BR), Uwe Alzen (DE). <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/02/bmw-unveils-jeff-koons-art-car-for-24-hours-of-le-mans-w-video/#continued">Video of the unveiling</a> is after the jump. <br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/jeff-koons-bmw-m3-gt2-art-car-0/">Jeff Koons BMW M3 GT2 art car</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/jeff-koons-bmw-m3-gt2-art-car-0/#3034520"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/p90061292highres_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/jeff-koons-bmw-m3-gt2-art-car-0/#3034517"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/p90061295highres_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/jeff-koons-bmw-m3-gt2-art-car-0/#3034514"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/p90061296highres_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/jeff-koons-bmw-m3-gt2-art-car-0/#3034519"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/p90061293highres_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/jeff-koons-bmw-m3-gt2-art-car-0/#3034518"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/p90061294highres_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /> [Source: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/02/bmw-unveils-jeff-koons-art-car-for-24-hours-of-le-mans-w-video/#continued">BMW</a>]</div><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/02/bmw-art-car-by-jeff-koons-unveiled-for-24-hours-of-le-mans-w-vi/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>BMW art car by Jeff Koons unveiled for 24 Hours of Le Mans [w/video]</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/02/bmw-art-car-by-jeff-koons-unveiled-for-24-hours-of-le-mans-w-vi/">BMW art car by Jeff Koons unveiled for 24 Hours of Le Mans [w/video]</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 02 Jun 2010 10:57:00 EST.

Report: BMW M1/135is to go on sale in Q2 of 2011
<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/coupes/" rel="tag">Coupe</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/sports/" rel="tag">Performance</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/rumormill/" rel="tag">Rumormill</a></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2011-bmw-m1-1-series-m/"><img vspace="4" hspace="0" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/02-bmw-m1-spy-april.jpg" /></a>
<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><sma ll>BMW M1/1 Series M spy shots - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em></div> <br /> It's certainly no secret that <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/bmw">BMW</a> is working on a high-powered version of the darling <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/1+series">1 Series</a> coupe. After all, we've seen different mules and prototypes testing on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/12/spy-shots-hi-po-bmw-1-series-prototype-flashes-quad-tailpipes-t/">many</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/13/spy-shots-and-video-bmw-m1-1-series-m-laps-the-ring/">many</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/23/video-bmw-1-series-m-prototype-makes-an-appearance-at-the-ring/">many</a> occasions. And while the speculation continues as to what the end result will be called (M1? 1M? 135is?), executives within BMW's M division have reportedly confirmed that the car will go on sale in the second quarter of next year.<br /> <br /> Regardless of nomenclature, we're pretty stoked over what this potent little 1 Series will bring to the table, and we wonder how it'll fare compared to BMW's grandaddy <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/m3">M3</a>. If the 2011 Q2 on-sale date is to be believed, we won't be surprised if the production car debuts at either the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/paris-motor-show/">Paris</a> or <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/la-auto-show">Los Angeles</a> show later this year.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2011-bmw-m1-1-series-m/low/">Spy Shots: 2011 BMW M1/1 Series M</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2011-bmw-m1-1-series-m/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/04/01-bmw-m1-spy-april_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2011-bmw-m1-1-series-m/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/04/02-bmw-m1-spy-april_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2011-bmw-m1-1-series-m/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/04/03-bmw-m1-spy-april_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2011-bmw-m1-1-series-m/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/04/04-bmw-m1-spy-april_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-2011-bmw-m1-1-series-m/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/04/05-bmw-m1-spy-april_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /> [Source: <a href="http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=393288"> 1addicts.com</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/02/report-bmw-m1-135is-to-go-on-sale-in-q2-of-2011/">Report: BMW M1/135is to go on sale in Q2 of 2011</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 02 Jun 2010 15:28:00 EST.

First details on 2011 BMW X3 leak out

<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><sma ll>2011 BMW X3 - Click above for image gallery</small></strong></em></div> <br /> <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw/">BMW</a> has just dropped a few juicy details about the 2011 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/x3">X3</a> on the web along with a few camo'd photos. With the addition of the X1 in European markets, the Bavarian automaker is looking to give its middle child a little extra interior space, so the 2011 X3 will be slightly wider and longer than the beasts currently prowling the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/15/more-bulk-store-buying-costco-and-volvo-team-up-to-sell-cars/">Costco</a> parking lot. Even so, weight has been slimmed by around 55 pounds and in a nod to ever-increasing fuel economy concerns, the automaker has also decided to switch the power steering on the X3 from pneumatic to electric to reduce drag on the engine.<br /> <br /> Speaking of engines, there won't be any major surprises under the hood. UK buyers will be able to choose between a total of four engines - the standard fair available here in the land of the free plus two turbo-diesel mills. We wouldn't exactly hold our breath waiting for those to show up in our neck of the woods at launch.<br /> <br /> Interestingly enough, <em>Autocar</em> reports that BMW is currently investigating a turbocharged four-cylinder variant as well as an AcitveHybrid flavor, though who knows if either of those are slated for U.S. consumption. Look for a full unveil at this year's <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/paris-motor-show/">Paris Motor Show</a>. <br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-bmw-x3-0/low/">2011 BMW X3</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-bmw-x3-0/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/02-2011-x3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-bmw-x3-0/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/06-2011-x3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-bmw-x3-0/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/07-2011-x3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-bmw-x3-0/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/08-2011-x3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-bmw-x3-0/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/01-2011-x3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /> [Source: <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/BMW-X3/250219/">Autocar</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/03/first-details-on-2011-bmw-x3-leak-out/">First details on 2011 BMW X3 leak out</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Thu, 03 Jun 2010 15:31:00 EST.

Report: Mini working on city car
<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/conceptcars/" rel="tag">Concept Cars</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/mini/" rel="tag">Mini</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/uk/" rel="tag">UK</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/rumormill/" rel="tag">Rumormill</a></p><a href="www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/249986/"><img vspace="4" hspace="0" border="1" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/minispiritual630-1275584191.jpg" alt="" /></a><br />
<br /> Here in the U.S., the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/fortwo">Smart ForTwo</a> has proven less than successful considering the needs of most of drivers. Sold here on the merits of its efficiency, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/smart/">Smart's</a> true element is in the cities of Europe, where the small size allows nose-in parking and a diesel powertrain that's actually pleasant to drive. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/mini/">Mini</a> and its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw/">BMW</a> parents think that there may be something to Smart's success, even though the company has said in the past that small city cars aren't profitable. <br /> <br /> According to an <em>Autocar</em> source, a Mini city car concept may debut within the next year. Part of the impetus for the reversal is BMW's backing of a three-cylinder engine, as well as a heavy focus on component sharing with the upcoming BMW <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/MegaCity/">MegaCity</a> and other models under the BMW umbrella, along with new production techniques. The car should be smaller than the current Mini, though larger than the Smart. Details like chassis layout and styling have not been divulged, though back in the Rover days, Mini showed off the Spiritual concept (pictured above) and there was talk of a production version. However, how it fares in the marketplace will hinge on how well BMW packs value and the trademark Mini verve into its tiny shell.<br /> <br /> [Source: <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/249986/">Autocar</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/03/report-mini-working-on-city-car/">Report: Mini working on city car</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Thu, 03 Jun 2010 16:31:00 EST.
