This is great to see from the B58 powered MKV Supra because it does not involve nitrous. As overall records go back and forth with enthusiasts vying for the number one spot not everyone is disclosing exactly what they are up to. ...Published on 01-14-2021 10:36 PM
In theory a car subscription service sounds good. You pay a flat monthly rate and have your choice of any number of cars from that automaker. In practice it does not seem to work as BMW is the latest automaker to cancel its subscription service. ...Published on 01-14-2021 08:42 PM
For some reason the 2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP is getting blasted by the automotive press. Despite the Mini crushing the Civic Type R in performance figures across the board Edmunds slammed it hard. ...Published on 01-14-2021 07:31 PM
The Toyota Supra MKV A90/A91 tuning scene brings with it many benefits to BMW enthusiasts. It is competitive for one which means many tuners tackling problems that otherwise may never be addressed and also forcing competitive pricing. ...Published on 01-14-2021 07:12 PM
What this video tells us is what you already know by reading this site. Tuning a car gives you major HP bang for your buck. Porsche no longer produces the 3.6 liter V6 twin turbo motor in the Macan Turbo (since replaced by an EA839 based 2.9 TT V6) but this comparison goes to show you what a bargain the B58 powered X4 is. ...Published on 01-13-2021 05:32 PM
It took a while for E46 M3's to really get going with turbo boosted applications and that is in part because tuning turbochargers on the factory ECU posed a problem. Standalone solutions were expensive at first but these days you can turbo an E46 M3 for a fraction of the cost and make serious power. ...Published on 01-13-2021 04:42 PM
Weight is going to be a very big deal for the new G80 M3 and G82 M4. This is the most controversial technical area of the new cars once you get away from the discussion on the design. BMW claims the cars are light and the video below is clearly designed to make you think that. ...Published on 01-12-2021 08:53 PM
BimmerBoost fans and auto enthusiast alike, things are getting a bit nuts. We are talking about a mid-10 second tuned SUV here. Yes, a 4500+ pound sport utility vehicle. Does that even shock anyone any longer? ...Published on 01-12-2021 07:01 PM
This article is by Gordon Murray the famous designer of the McLaren F1 and one of the best known minds in motorsport. Gordon Murray took offense to the Veyron in several ways (some called him bitter) and in a now deleted Road and Track piece provided his analysis. ...Published on 01-10-2021 07:04 PM
The overall BMW S55 horsepower record went back and forth between RK Tunes and KRATOS forming a bit of a rivalry. KRATOS eventually ended up winning and RK Tunes suffered bad luck with their F80 M3 catching fire and requiring a rebuild. ...Published on 01-08-2021 02:35 PM
There is no denying the Ghassan G1000 built B58 motors are setting records. Ghassan Automotive was the first tuner to sleeve the B58 motor and others certainly followed suit. The Ghassan G1000 B58 program is doing very, very well. ...Published on 01-06-2021 05:02 PM
MotorTrend's best driver's car features of 2020 isn't fantastic but it definitely is better than the pathetically weak 2021 Road and Track Performance Car of the Year Award. Additionally, as we get solid data from a professional driver it also is better than this years incredibly silly MotorTrend World's Greatest Drag Race. ...Published on 01-06-2021 02:53 PM
BMW's styling certainly is controversial as of late. That is no secret. It seems to be headed in a direction that is more provocative and awkward than a return to the more traditional design language we all associate with BMW as evidenced by the current G80 M3 and upcoming X8 SUV. ...Published on 01-06-2021 01:36 PM
The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is one of the hottest performance cars out on the market right now and for good reason. It is a beast that responds incredibly well to modifications. Getting it into the ~900 wheel horsepower is hardly breaking a sweat for the 5.2 liter supercharged Predator V8. ...Published on 01-05-2021 02:03 PM
For a time hydrogen fuel cells were viewed as potentially the future of automotive power. BMW in particular invested in this technology but the most recent push is electric power. However, hydrogen fuel cells do have advantages and the associated costs are dropping faster than electric development costs. ...
