BMW’s M Division Wishes You A Merry Christmas: Video

For it’s annual Christmas card, BMW’s M Division opted to hire an illustrator to create a traditional holiday scene, complete with Santa Claus, presents and even (we think) a reindeer. The catch was that illustrator Gavin Patterson would have to sketch it from the front seat of a new BMW M5, piloted by BMW precision driver Urs Inauen. While the car lapped the Circuit de l’Anneau Du Rhin, at speed. Read more

BMW’s 2012 M5 In Action

Let’s face it: Monday’s suck. The weekend’s over and you have five hellish days to slog through before you get another one. We feel your pain, even though we look forward to coming to work to play with cars, so here’s a video of the new-for-2012 BMW M5 showing what it’s best at. It won’t cure your hangover, and it won’t make up for the fact that the Giants / Colts / Jets / Bills /Falcons lost yesterday, but it just may give you the motivation you need to get through your day. Slackers don’t get to own M5s (unless they’ve got family money), so you’d best get back to it (after watching the video ) if you want to park one in your own garage. Read more

Video: BMW’s New M5 Gets A Workout

We were supposed to see the 2012 BMW M5 in dealer showrooms this spring, but BMW isn’t done tuning their uber-sedan just yet. That’s fine with us, since BMW has a long history of sweating the details on their M cars, so we don’t mind waiting patiently for the new M5 to hit dealer showrooms by year end. When it does, we know it’ll lose the last generation’s V-10 engine in favor of a twin-turbo V-8, similar to the one used in the X5 M and X6 M. In the M5, you can expect a higher state of tune, and BMW Blog reports that the car will be rated at 578 horsepower and 530 foot-pounds of torque. It’s too early to know exactly what the performance specs will be, but BMW Blog speculates the 0 to 60 run will happen in just 4.4 seconds. Watch the pre-production M5 being put through the paces at BMW’s Miramas, France, test track in the video below. Read more
