The BMW M135i xDrive is being vigorously tested all around the world in as many ways as possible and now the folks from AutoTopNL put them head to head in an acceleration comparison.

Power remains unchanged meaning the twin-turbo V12 will produce 563 horses.

Powering the new car will be a freshly developed 4-litre V12 from Cosworth. It will produce as much as 690 hp using ram induction and will scream all the way to a 12,100 rpm redline.

This specific example is finished in a special Orange paint likely matching the M8B racer and Bruce McLaren’s signature can be seen on the rear fender.

Powering the duo is the same 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 producing 331 kW and 600 Nm of torque for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 280 km/h.

Production of customer cars is scheduled to commence towards the end of 2020 at a rate of just one vehicle per week.

Even though the new M3 and M4 won’t arrive to market until 2021, we expect to see both cars, fully unveiled, sometimes in the second half of next year.

Rendering artist Aksyonov Nikita decided to give us some teaser renderings of what we could expect the new SVR to look like if it ever did make a comeback.

Car accidents are common almost everywhere in the world. Despite exercising the utmost caution, you never know when an accident may just…

This is certainly a step in the right direction but don’t expect to see it in production any time soon as testing has only just begun.

Take one totalled M3 CS, spend many hours and a lot of money on it and you have the first and only BMW M3 CS Touring in the world.

Under the massive hood sits Ford’s furious 5.0-litre V8 engine complete with forced induction to deliver a ridiculous 770 hp (571 kW).
