The M340i continues to remain the sweet spot in the 3 Series’ lineup as you still get an inline-six engine with plenty of punch while avoiding the M3’s controversial kidney grille.

Any Porsche with “Turbo S” on its hindquarters is nigh-impossible to beat in a straight line drag race. Even when they don’t make the most power, Stuttgart’s Turbo S drag strip dominance has been consistent for the past decade or so. So can BMW’s fastest car, the M5 CS, take on the Panamera Turbo S?…

Unlike Mercedes with its ill-fated X-Class, BMW has yet to dip its toes into the truck segment, but it’s no stranger to pickups. Its most recent ute was the X7 with a bed from 2019, but if we go back in time, there was also the 2011 E92 M3 Pickup as an April Fools’ joke.…
