BMW M6 vs Ferrari 575 vs Audi RS6




















At a first glance, this might not be the most appropriate comparison, but a group of guys decided to shoot some footage of their street race…well, if we can call it that way.

In stock version, the BMW M6 packs a V10 5.0 liter engine which produces 500 horsepower. The M6 is this video is the 5.8L Noelle Stroker with its 630 horsepower.

Next, Ferrari 575. In stock format, it uses a V12 engine with 515 horsepower. No upgrades for the car in this video.

And last, one of Audi’s “monster” cars: the RS6. With a twin-turbocharged, 5.2-liter V10 engine under its hood, the RS6 has 580 horsepower, stock version. And if that wasn’t enough, the RS6 owner ups the horsepower to 720 with the 5.0 T Evotech.

BMW M3 E92 Halloween Edition Wrapped in Matte Orange Vinyl

















The good thing with vinyl wraps is that in the event that you don't like the end-result or you get quickly bored of the new color scheme, you can always change back to the one you had before. This E92 BMW M3 coupe, which belongs to an m3post forum member who goes by the alias 'MyM3>UrCar', has been covered in a matte orange vinyl wrap with contrasting black accents and matching 20-inch forged alloy wheels.

Other mods include CSL-style trunk with an integrated spoiler and a front apron from Hamann, both of which are finished in black.

So, what do you think about the two-tone custom made bimmer; should the driver keep it as it is, change some particular details or simply go back to stock form? Have your say in the comment section below.

BMW M6 Competition Coupe with Sportier Suspension Setup and Matte Grey Finish to Premiere in Frankfurt



















This month's Frankfurt Motor Show will see BMW launching a special edition version of the M6 coupe called Competition that will be produced in a limited run of just 100 units. While the M6's 507 horsepower V10 engine remains intact, the engineers over at BMW's M division tweaked the Competition model's suspension with new springs, dampers and stabilisers as well as lowering the coupe's ride height by 12mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear.

The modified chassis control systems plus the new wheel and tire combination complete the performance upgrades.

Visually, the M6 Competition stands out thanks to the Frozen Grey matt exterior paint job while inside, customers can choose between two unique color schemes for the Merino full leather interior - either black with grey stitching or a two-tone Silverstone / Black combo with contrasting light gray and black stitching.

The Competition also gets specific floor mats and scuff plates with the "M6 Competition" logo along with a special numbered plaque.
