The new M5 Saloon will be available in the UK in November 2011, priced at £73,040 on-the-road.

For more than 25 years the BMW M5 Saloon has defined the high-performance saloon segment, in the process becoming the most successful car of its type in the world. Now a new fifth-generation model raises the concept of the premium executive saloon combining track-car dynamics and supreme touring comfort to an even higher level.

The unique exterior design has been dictated by the technical requirements of the car, while the luxurious sports car-like cockpit … CONTINUED

Tiff Needell has been a regular special guest at the Top Gear Live events and this year he makes his grand entrance in rubber burning style by drifting a BMW 1M coupe around the indoor track. Check out the hoonage inside.

BMW’s new 2.0L 4 cylinder turbo engine (the “N20″) may be down on cylinders and displacement compared to the inline 6 cylinder (N52) that it replaces across BMW’s model range, but even in factory form, it matches the outgoing N52’s horsepowers and features an extra 30 lb-ft of torque (in the X1 xDrive28i, X3 xDrive28i, F20 128i, 528i, Z4 sDrive28i, and upcoming F30 328i).

And what the N20 loses in smoothness and top-end pull compared to the outgoing N52, it now looks like it will easily make up for in tuneability. Kelleners Sport has released the specs of its N20 tune and the figures are impressive! These are power gains that the naturally aspirated N52 could never achieve.

The Kelleners N20 tune achieves 294 hp and … CONTINUED

Although the BMW Premium Selection CPO program is only available in certain world markets (U.S. not included), this is an entertaining ad spot for the fans of Sabine Schmitz (famed former M5 Ring Taxi driver).

The BMW Premium Selection program is reserved exclusively for used BMW automobiles that fulfill defined premium standards. Only vehicles that are less than five years old with a mileage of under 120,000 km qualify for the program. Furthermore, all of the vehicles have to pass BMW’s standard vehicle check.

This 2012 F30 3 series Modern Line was spotted at Holland’s Schiphol airport, the site of many a new BMW model preview/spotting in the past, where some BMWs make a stop before crossing the Atlantic ocean to North America.

This is a US spec model (note the orange bumper reflectors) and is a Modern Line model.

After the first F32 coupe photos, we now bring to you the first spy video of the upcoming BMW 4 Series (or 3 Series, as name change is not yet confirmed) coupe out testing in Munich.

The live look provided by a video always provides the best perspectives because we are able to see and perceive the physical aspects (size, proportions, transitions, and scale) of the car in one continuous moving view. Seeing a car in motion among other cars and natural elements also provides the most realistic look.

The F32 coupe certainly looks to have good size and proportions in the video, not appearing as long or stretched as some spy photos may have made it appear. Have a look for yourself below.

Plenty of eye candy inside, so have a look.
