BMW Z4 GT3 – A Race Prepped V8 Powered Z4
March 4, 2010 by Larry
Filed under Automotive, BMW, Featured, News
You may remember when we posted images and press information on the BMW M3 GTS which was basically a race-tuned version of the current E92 BMW M3. Well now BMW Motorsports has race-prepped the Z4 and turned it into a V8-powered Z4 GT3. It uses the same naturally aspirated 4.0-liter V8 found in the BMW M3 with a little extra tuning to make 480hp.
By the Numbers: Audi RS5 vs. BMW M3
I know that it can be rather premature to compare the E92 BMW M3 to the new Audi RS5 considering that no one has driven the new RS5. Can we be a little hypothetical here just for a minute? Okay, great. Let’s take the new E92 BMW M3 with all of its 414hp and 295 ft-lbs. of torque V8 glory and put it up against the new 2011 Audi RS5’s naturally aspirated 450hp and 317 ft-lbs. of torque 4.2-liter V8. What do you get? Obviously you get a much more powerful engine in the RS5. But that’s where I draw the line for the advantages of the RS5 over the current BMW M3.

Filed under Automotive, BMW, Featured, Find of the week
With so many cars being featured on the internet every week, we have decided to feature one such car on AutomotiveAddicts.com for our readers to enjoy. This week is a rare gem from Bavaria.
There is little known of this specific example of an E9 coupe, except the following quote, “3.5 (M90) motor with CR dogleg and 3.07 lsd.” A google search revealed the photographer’s facebook, but the option to message him was turned off. If anyone has any more info, or if the owner steps forward, we’d love to know more, as we have been unable to stop drooling since we first saw the shots 10 days ago. Thanks in advance for the help, and if you don’t have any information, just enjoy the view, as its getting rarer and rarer to see one of these in such immaculate condition.
BREAKING: Mini Countryman official photos leaked [w/video]
Here is your new Mini Countryman, the latest model from the ever expanding Mini range. As you can see, the Countryman (also sometimes called the Mini Crossover) is a bit bigger than other Minis, and sports four doors – five if you count the hatch. You’ll also note the “All4″ badge on the back, indicating that the Countryman is AWD, a first for the brand. Which means it will be great in the snow!
I don’t know about you but I know I am excited for the new mini. It is a little chunkier, it feels like a tiny SUV. There’s definitely a bit of baby Porsche Cayenne going on up front and in the stance, though it’s clearly still a Mini. Read more…

‘THE ULTIMATE DRIVNG MACHINE FOR ALL SEASONS’
This new BMW Z4 is the brand’s first retractable hardtop convertible and is the successor to both the Z4 roadster and Z4 coupe. At the touch of a button, and in less than 20 seconds, the new Z4 goes from stunning coupe to stunning roadster, giving the car a low-slung rear-end design reflecting the traditional proportions of a roadster as well as a large luggage compartment ranging in capacity from 6.3 to 10.9cu.ft. The two-piece electrohydraulically retractable top is fabricated from lightweight aluminum shell construction. The high quality interior lining is finished in an extra-light color as well as hand-cut and sewn leather, large windows, including the heated glass window at the rear; all to ensure an exclusive look and optimized all-around visibility. This is the perfect two-seat roadster for all four seasons.
