Check out this M3post member’s ESS supercharged brilliant white M3 which just dyno’d at 600hp / 400tq at the crank! Also must see are the 0-120mph in 10.4 second acceleration videos!
Surpirse of the day. Real photos of the upcoming MINI countryman leaked to the web today. Seems like this is the week of leaks. These three photos are spreading pretty fast this morning, so we wonder if BMW will move the release of the full photo collection forward more?

Time marches on and the F10 BMW M5 continues its cold weather testing ahead of its scheduled launch for 2011. To recap, this car is expected to utilize a turbo charged V8 engine derived from the motor used in the X5 and X6 M. Power outputs are still unknown but I would bet on it being higher then that of the X5/X6M. Other M5 Spy pictures can be seen here.

The M1 prototype test car has now been filmed on video. Scroll down to the link after the jump for the directly embedded video on CAR Magazine’s site.
This video is genious. This is a newly released YouTube teaser clip for the upcoming MINI "crossover" SUV. Noting really new is seen in this video, actually compared to the beachcomber concept car you actually see less! But what I love is that they took their now standard yellow psychadelic camoflage masking tape and integrated it into the standard teaser video for the car.
Things have definitly changed 200% from a few years ago in the spyphotos/marketing world. But honestly, this video is genious and I love where BMW/MINI is going with this. Take a look at the video below.
