    New BMW M3 and M4 Finally Official With Controversial Styling

    We knew they were going to be bold and bold they are. Ladies and gents welcome the 2021 BMW M3 and M4, now in the sixth generation and more powerful than ever.

    Can we skip over the controversial kidney grilles? They are here to stay so lets rather talk about what’s behind them.

    Both cars have a twin-turbo 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine that produces 473 hp (352 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque. The Competition variants are a tad more powerful as they have 503 hp (375 kW) and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque. Thanks to the extra grunt, the Competition variants can sprint to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds before running to a 290 km/h (180 mph) top speed (when equipped with the M Driver’s Package).

    Yes there is a six-speed manual variant but only available on non-Competition variants which means it will not be offered in South Africa.

    The rear-biased all-wheel-drive system in the Competition variants is similar to the M5’s system, with an active M Differential at the rear axle and the ability to choose between 4WD and 4WD Sport modes, with the latter option sending more power to the rear. If you really want to get loose, turning off the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) transfers power to the rear wheels exclusively.

    You will have no problem stopping either as there is a new high-performance braking system. It features six-piston calipers and 380 mm (15 inch) discs up front, as well as single-piston rear calipers which grab onto 370 mm (14.6 inch) discs. Want to splash some more cash you can get the optional carbon ceramic stoppers which are finished in gold and make use of discs which measure 400 mm (15.7 inches) at the front and 380 mm (15 inches) at the back.

    The interior is nothing to write home about as its nothing we have not seen before but you can spec some seriously sport looking optional M Carbon bucket seats which are 9.5 kg (21 lbs) lighter and feature aggressive bolsters as well as an illuminated model badge.

    BMW South Africa has confirmed that we will see the first units arrive in the first half of 2021 but as mentioned we will only be received the Competition variants so no manual gearbox to choose from for us.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
