Fourth Generation BMW M3 Coupé spotted
We spotted the fourth generation BMW M3. M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3 Series, developed by BMW's in-house motorsport division, BMW M. The M3 is quite different from the standard 3-series BMW, the M3 includes more powerful and responsive engines, improved handling/suspension/braking systems, aerodynamic body enhancements, and interior/exterior accents with the tri-color "M" (Motorsport) emblem.
Under the hood of the M3 is a naturally aspirated, high-revving 4-litre V8 engine which delivers 414 bhp (309 kW; 420 PS) at 8300 rpm, with peak torque of 295 lb·ft (400 N·m) at 3900 rpm, which represents a power increase of 22% over the standard M3. The M3 is capable of doing a 0–100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. However a recent testing by Car and Driver magazine has shown that the 2011 M3 equipped with an M-DCT transmission accelerated from 0–60 mph in 3.9 seconds.
The M3 also features tuned suspension, a six-speed manual transmission, a carbon fiber roof, and all the exterior modifications like revised front and rear bumpers, and LED tail lights typical of an "M" car.

The new BMW X3 arrives in India next month
Bavarian Motor Works (BMW) plans to take advantage of the rising auto sales in India – hence, the expansion of its product range.
Every detail of the X3 emphasizes its agility, style and dynamism. Strong, elegant lines underscore its fascinating temperament and sporting ambition. From the powerful bonnet to the distinct rear, the X3's muscular proportions are hard to ignore. The almost completely body-coloured bumpers and the elevated seat position highlight its truly unmistakable character.
In India, the new BMW X3 will be available in the diesel version.
The X3 is expected to be launched on August 25th, with two engine variants, 3 lt. inline six turbo and 2 lt. diesel mill engine variants. Audi Q5 and Mercedes Benz – Class GLK are expected to be the X3’s main rivals.
BMW, which was unclear about the CKD duty structure, said that the new X3 will be priced approximately around 42.2 lakhs INR. However, the price is expected to be lesser as the engines are built at the Chennai plant, which will allow BMW India to deal with the 10% CKD duty requirements.

2011 BMW Z4 sDrive35is spotted
we spotted the BMW Z4 roadster on Lavelle Road, Bangalore. The Z4 is claimed to be one of the best designs to come from BMW in recent times. The car was launched in 2010 at the Detroit Auto Show. The Z4 grabbed second place at the auto show, just behind the Porsche Boxster S.
The BMW Z4 sDrive35 packs an upgraded engine system, whose power has been raised from a standard 306bhp to 340bhp. The sDrive35i features the normal 7-speed double-clutch transmission. Bow to the power of the beast; it just sprints from 0 - 60km/h in 4.5 seconds!
The styling and the ride of the Z4 sDrive35 is absolutely amazing! The Z4 has 3 kinds of Driving Dynamics Control adjusted between Normal, Sport, and Sport+, which allows the animal in it to be adaptive to the driver.
Jeremy Clarkson says: However, I’ve thought quite hard about this and can confidently say that the Z4, with its folding metal roof and softer feel, is now the best of the medium-sized sports cars. Certainly, I prefer it to the Boxster and the Mercedes SLK.
The ultimate driving machine, or so I thought.
