Like mad scientists splicing bits and pieces of animal carcasses together to create something unholy, Dinan is prepping a BMW M3 equipped with a 638 HP version of the BMW V10. The heart of this ludicrous M3 will be a 5.7 liter bored-and-stroked version of the 5.0-liter DOHC 40-valve V10 found...

1987 BMW M6
Fewer than 2,000 E24 M6s were sold in North America during the 1983-89 period. The '87 came with a 256-horse six and a price tag of $55,950 ($106,695.07 in 2008 bucks), just a few grand less than a new Porsche 928S. This example is in very nice condition for a street-driven 21-year-old car. Sure,...

Two-Tone Tweaker: Lumma Design's BMW CLR 500 RS
Two-tone paint schemes can be iffy — to wit. But we're kind of partial to the fiber-matte look on Lumma Design's BMW M5 tuner, the CLR 500 RS, which covers hood, roof and trunk. Still, any body kitting on an M5 risks cheesewagen status, and this one smells like a Limburg monk coming off a double s...

Clarkson on the M6 Convertible
They flirted with appeasement, and there was a prominent Nazi-sympathzing fascist movement in England until Hitler sent over the Ju-88s and Bf109s. So it makes sense then, that Clarkson would maintain an affinity for BMW, and beyond that, the Continent's own Camaro SS, the M6 cabrio. Rat...

Look! An M6! In California! At the LA Auto Show!
BMW had reams of news of their own wonderfulness laid forth with peculiar pronunciation by Tom Purvis, the UK-born head of BMW North America. So is the Z4 hardtop a "Coop" or a "Coopay," Tompkins? You can't have it both ways. Or we guess you can, since you're the boss of us. He spoke strongly of wa...

Only 400 of the cars will be offered in 2006, with the current waiting list more than covering that numb...
