Drift duo: Iveco Turbostar and BMW 3-Series


We love to watch drift battles, but in the video below you will see a unique drift duo. We are talking about a competition between a BMW 3-Series and an Iveco Turbostar. As you can imagine the truck can deliver more smoke than the tiny 3-Series. Furthermore, the German model is one of the most used cars in drifting becauseitcan provide good power to the rear wheels.

BMW Individual Builds A BMW M6 For DTM Driver


The pro DTM driver Marco Wittmann gave the task to BMW Individual in creating a bespoke BMW M6Coupe and this is the final result,  finished in Fire Orange with a contrasting high gloss black accents on the mirror caps, and the grille and window trim, the M6’s exterior colors syncs with the interior. Its cabin is trimmed with carbon fiber accents in Fire Orange and comes with an M steering wheel that is wrapped in leather and Alcantara. With Black Merino leather seats with Kyalami Orange contrast stitching and rounded off with bespoke touches and under the hood, the M6 is still powered by its 4.4L twin turbo V8 that gives off 560hp and 502 lb-ft of torque, that enables it to sprint from 0-60 mph in around 4.2 seconds and has a top speed of 189mph.

The world of 
BMW E30 is full off tuned examples, with only a few cars that actually  stand out, it comes from a Connecticut based automotive designer, called  JSUTAI ( ‘Jay-Sue-Tai’) that makes a name for itself though unique projects such as this one, they will take care of everything from bodywork and paint even to  the suspension and wheels, to  make your dreams a reality. This is their latest project, with wheels  from BBS, of course, which we’re used to ever since BMW launched the car,  they’re RSs, with matte black faces and pink and teal stripes on the lips, making the car a moving gallery.

With an S14 engine hooked up to a Supersprint exhaust that causes mayhem anywhere it goes, along with sharper pedal response throughout the entire revving  band,  the outside, EVO bits and pieces have been added ,  such as the VAC Motorsports bumper components, with  Bride seats and a Nardi steering wheel complete this package that is beautiful and classy at the same time, despite being conceived nearly 30 years ago.

2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe Price Has Risen

The 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe,  a few followers and owners of BMWs pointed out that  our estimated price for a used donor car, set at $50,000, was low, the car retailed for les at $46,135 when it was new in 2011, with only 740 units sold in the U.S, finding data on 1 M Coupe  sales is a bit difficult, but here's what we know. With about 20 cars currently on sale, through major used auto sales websites, with an  asking price of a whopping $61,670 and average mileage of about 11,600 on the clock, which is about  more than $15,500 over the MSRP when new, or an appreciation of around $5,000 a year.

The best deal around had 14,000 miles on the clock and was going for $55,500, with the most expensive being $65,991 with only 8,800 miles and the numbers are about right based on the industry standard Black Book, which calls the retail value in California, for instance, at an even $60,000 for an "Extra Clean" car, who would’ve thought the 1 Series M Coupe would be a good investment?!
