</strong></em> <div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><sma ll>BMW 1 Series M Coupe teasers - Click above for image gallery</small></strong></em></div> <br /> Fans of the original <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/m3">BMW M3</a> might not be enamored by the current V8 model, but the upcoming <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/1SeriesMCoupe/">1 Series M Coupe</a> promises to bring it back to the source. The Bavarian automaker has released <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/06/bmw-1m-coupe-stops-by-paris-doesnt-even-stay-for-the-show/">new information</a> on the more compact M ahead of its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/11/bmw-1-series-m-coupe-to-physically-debut-in-detroit-already-emo/">full release in December ahead of the Detroit Auto Show</a> where it'll be finally revealed to the public.<br /> <br /> The 1 Series M Coupe packs a 340-horsepower version of the twin-turbo 3.0-liter six from the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/12/embargo-12-12-09-6pm-est-detroit-preview-bmw-to-unveil-faster/">Z4 sDrive35iS</a> in a package weighing about 3,300 pounds, with power fed to the wheels exclusively through a six-speed manual. This a departure from the "bare-bones" <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/26/droolworthy-bmw-releases-m3-gts-specifications/">M3 GTS</a> that packs a dual-clutch gearbox.<br /> <br /> Pricing is slated to come in between those of the existing 135i and M3, placing it somewhere around the $45k mark.

<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><sma ll>BMW is returning to the DTM - Click above for high-res image</small></strong></em></div> <br /> <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw">BMW</a> has announced that it will once again knock fenders in the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/dtm">DTM</a>. The company has said that it will make its way back to the race series for the 2012 season after a lengthy 18-year absence. The German automaker is in the process of restructuring its involvement in motorsport, and DTM is going to play a key part in that effort.<br /> <br /> According to the company's press release, BMW has been in talks with DTM organizers for some time about future regulations and technical requirements. After it began to look like the brand would in fact be welcome in the series once again, BMW broke the news to fans at the DTM race weekend at Hockenheimring. <br /> <br /> So far, it looks like the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/m3">M3</a> will be the bruiser of choice for going toe-to-toe with the rest of the field, but as of right now, it's anyone's guess as to who will be behind the tiller when the green flag drops on the company team.

First Drive: 2011 BMW X3

The original <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/x5">X5</a> Sport <strike>Utility</strike> <em>Activity</em> Vehicle kicked things off in 1999, and only a few years later, the smaller <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/x3">X3</a> arrived.<br /> <br /> Now, luxury crossovers are a dime a dozen, and automakers are clamoring to be a part of the small CUV segment. In just the past few years, we've been introduced to the <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/q5">Audi Q5</a>, <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/glk-class">Mercedes-Benz GLK</a>, <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/xc60">Volvo XC60</a> and <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/ex">Infiniti EX35</a>, among others. But as the X3 aged, its unusually harsh suspension and not-so-great interior plagued sales. In 2004, BMW moved roughly 35,000 X3s off dealer lots, and just last year, that number dropped to less than 10,000. Things aren't looking good for 2010, either.<br /> <br /> Instead of trying to reinvent the formula, <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/bmw">BMW</a> has improved on the X3's original idea by offering more refinement, top-notch driving dynamics and heaps of technology focused on efficiency and connectivity. The end result is a compact crossover ready to regain its spot at the head of the class.

Report: BMW to collaborate with Peugeot on hybrid system for FWD cars
<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/hybrids/" rel="tag">Hybrid</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/tech/" rel="tag">Technology</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/peugeot/" rel="tag">Peugeot</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/10/bmwlogo.jpg" />The auto industry cross-pollination continues, with <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw">BMW</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/peugeot">Peugeot</a> having signed a Memorandum of Understanding to expand their engineering collaboration to include a new hybrid system. Specifically, this will be a hybrid drive for front-wheel drive vehicles, marking a departure for both BMW and Peugeot.<br />
<br /> BMW's interest isn't a complete surprise since the Bavarian firm has been making more and more noise about city cars and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/04/bmw-developing-fwd-four-cylinder-small-car-line-for-sale-in-u-s/">a small FWD offering</a> for the U.S market. Although there have been practically no details on BMW's so-called UKL line, this could be the development that provides a hybrid option for the range. It's possible that <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/mini">Mini</a> might get this as well, but with a gaggle of tiny hybrids coming, like the expected <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/11/toyota-prius-mpv-teased-on-billboard/">Yaris-sized hybrid</a> joining the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/prius">Prius</a> line, it's not a stretch to imagine BMW won't want to spread this around.<br /> <br /> The novel thing for Peugeot is also the turned wheels, but in a different way: their hybrid cars have used the motors <a href="http://wot.motortrend.com/6690230/green/hybrid-partners-bmw-peugeot-citroen-ink-deal-to-collaborate-on-hybrid-systems/index.html">to turn the rear wheels</a>, while the fronts were pushed by the ICE. It remains to be seen where Peugeot will apply a dedicated FWD hybrid vehicle. <br /> <br /> [Source: BMW]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/22/report-bmw-to-collaborate-with-peugeot-on-hybrid-system-for-fwd/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Report: BMW to collaborate with Peugeot on hybrid system for FWD cars</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/22/report-bmw-to-collaborate-with-peugeot-on-hybrid-system-for-fwd/">Report: BMW to collaborate with Peugeot on hybrid system for FWD cars</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 22 Oct 2010 09:30:00 EST.
