BMW USED CARS

BMW Rahal Letterman Racing Team is testing a Le Mans-spec bodywork and they aim to have it ready for Lime Rock race. BMW’s return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans delivered mixed results, but BMW Motorsport has taken some of the lessons learned from the development of its European-spec M3 GT2s to strengthen its American Le Mans Series program.

BMW RLR is currently evaluation the use of the M3’s new bodywork package that was seen on the Schnitzer-run cars in the early season Le Mans Series races and at Le Mans.

BMW has officially unveiled today the M-Sport Package for the new BMW 5 Series Sedan and Touring.

Press Release: The M Sports Package for the new BMW 5 Series Saloon and for the new BMW 5 Series Touring will be presented simultaneously in September 2010. The package, which was developed by the BMW M GmbH, comprises components that have been specifically adapted to match the suspension, the aerodynamics, and the exterior and interior design of each model.

Spy photos fest week here at BMWBLOG and today, we return once again with new spy shots of the upcoming BMW 6 Series. The test mule spotted is the Convertible variant sporting a soft roof top which according to our surfaces, will be the only option offered in the 6er Cabrio.

According to previous reports and a statement by BMW North American CEO, Jim O’Donnell, the next next 6-series coupe and convertible will be radically different from the current cars’ styling. He agreed that the current 6-Series is very polarizing due to the “Bangle butt” it carries, but the redesigned 6er, will be a “super sleek” vehicle.

Our latest insider reports mention that the new 6 Series has already began its tour within BMW where several key BMW executives from around the world are granted a preview of the upcoming 6er.

Those of you that are into modding, tuning and car experiments, you will come to appreciate this article. Jonah, a reader of our online magazine, has decided to upgrade the turbos in his 335xi.

“My car (08′ 335xi) is currently under the knife having the first set of TiAL Sport upgraded turbos installed. I will essentially be the first “customer” car with upgraded turbos who is actually vocal and talks about what is going on (compared to say the ASR upgrade which supposedly has sold 10 times but no one has ever mentioned a word about them).  The upgrade consists of a custom compressor and clipped turbine.

Spring and summer are the most exciting seasons for all spy photographers out there, and certainly those that “chase” those upcoming BMWs. Once again, the upcoming 2012 BMW M5 makes an appearance somewhere in Germany.

This last spotted prototype loses for the first time its camouflage from around the headlights and gives us a chance to see the entire Corona LED rings.
