Official: Take a look at the new BMW 5-Series and the also new M5


I knew it was only a matter of time until the reveal of the facelift of the BMW 5-Series, and like i said before the changes are very small. But to compensate for the lack of big news, the German brand has added a few new things that make this car a bit more interesting.

New image of the BMW 5-Series facelift


BMW just can not keep a secret their new cars, or in this case, a facelift. Yesterday, we got to see the upcoming 2-Series, and today we have another image showing the improved 5-Series. This car is rumored to be revealed to the world next week, but do not expect to see major changes.

In March, we had already seen the facelift of the BMW 5 Series during a photo shoot.

And that will happen in then opening round of the 2013 season at the Losail International Circuit in Qatar.

BMW X4 concept leaked to the web!


This was unexpected. We knew that BMW sooner or later was going to release the X4, but it was somewhat surprising to see that a few minutes ago five images of the concept appeared online. If there is something that we know about BMW is that their concepts are usually very similar to the production models, so now we can get a good idea of how the final version will look like.

2014 BMW 5-Series facelift caught on the open road


BMW seems to take less time to reveal the facelifts of their cars. This time we get to see pictures of the BMW 5-Series (F10) in what seems to be a photo shoot for the new model. Changes are small but includes the look of the car and some mechanical parts. We could even see it at the New York International Auto Show.

BMW 1-Series GT revealed in 3D patent drawings


To be true it wasn't completely revealed but we get to see several of the main aspects of the upcoming rival for the Mercedes B-Class. In these patent drawings we can clearly see the shape of the taillights and headlamps, which look a lot like ones in the Active Sports Tourer Concept (pictured above) shown last year, and the shape of the front bumper, rear panels and the trunk/boot door. See those images below.

[Updated] Official images of the BMW 3-series GT show up in the internet


The pictures do look real and are similar to what we had already seen in spy photos. The Gran Turismo has, like the 5-Series, a higher and larger rear section that will take some time to fully appreciate it, and while we didn't expect any changes in the front it features an updated grille and new bumpers.

BMW sells Husqvarna to KTM CEO Stefan Pierer


This is a little confusing. BMW sold Husqvarna, the Swedish born company, to Pierer Industries which is owned by Stefan Pierer, the current president of KTM. But Pierer is the majority shareholder of India's Bajaj Automotive, which owns a little over 47% of Cross Industries. And Cross Industries is the parent company of KTM.
 

Wunderlich “MadUSA”. Built from a BMW S1000RR


Wunderlich, which is the American distributor for German aftermarket parts, joined BMW Motorcycles of San Francisco to create this amazing beast. And why is it called "MadUSA" (pictured above)? Wunderlich first created the Mad Max (pictured below), which had Continental TKC 80, in Germany, but to sell it in the States they kept the Mad and added the USA for an obvious reason.

Radion Design created the BMW M9, looks cool!


There are several design companies in the world and many more individuals doing they private sketches envisioning what a car should look like, but most of them are really bad and don't deserve much attention.
