In July 2015 BMW M began rolling out an upgraded Competition Package for the BMW M6 Coupe, BMW M6 Gran Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible. The new Competition Package includes a power boost for the 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine of +40 hp to 600 hp. Peak torque also rises, from 501 lb-ft in to 516 lb-ft.

0-62 mph now takes just 3.9 seconds and 0-124mph is now accomplished in 11.8 seconds.

Here it is at the ongoing 2015 Tokyo Motor Show and some press photos.

2015 Tokyo Motor Show: BMW 330e hybrid http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1189712 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 17:15:35 +0000 http://www.bimmerpost.com/?p=52932

The introduction of BMW eDrive technology in BMW brand models opens up all-electric motoring with zero local emissions to new target groups. The BMW 330e with plug-in hybrid drive is being added to the model line-up of the new BMW 3 Series. It will also be possible to sample the pleasure of all-electric driving with zero local emissions in the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer in future, thanks to the BMW 225xe – the Active Tourer variant with eDrive. They will join the BMW 740e luxury sedan (the plug-in hybrid variant of the new BMW 7 Series) and the BMW X5 xDrive40e in the BMW model family, so that in 2016 the BMW eDrive technology initially developed for BMW i cars will be available for BMW models spanning four different vehicle segments – from the compact to the luxury class.

Specs:
250hp / 310 lb-ft (preliminary)
0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds and 140mph top speed (preliminary)
22 mile range in all-electric mode

BMW M4 GTS World Debut at 2015 Tokyo Motor Show http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1189314 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 16:39:30 +0000 http://www.bimmerpost.com/?p=52925

The BMW M4 GTS [official thread] is making its world debut at 2015 Tokyo Motor Show today and we bring you the first photos from the show floor.

Like the M4, the M4 GTS is powered by the turbo 6 cylinder S55 engine, but features at 16% horsepower and 10% torque increase over the standard M4, resulting in 500 HP and 442 LB-FT. A water injection system (first in a production road car) allows for the increased power output but with the same level of cooling as the standard M4.

0-60 is accomplished in just 3.7 sec and it laps the Nurburgring in 7:28.

Only 700 will be produced for worldwide sales, with 300 of those designated for the U.S. It comes in four colors: Sapphire Black metallic, Mineral Grey metallic, Alpine White and Frozen Dark Grey Metallic.
