Last BMW M5 30 Jahre M5 US-spec auctioned for $700,000

Most powerful production BMW ever

The very last BMW M5 "30 Jahre M5" (US-spec) has been auctioned for a whopping $700,000 at an event organized by Barrett-Jackson.

BMW's most powerful production model ever was limited to 300 examples but only 30 cars made it stateside.

2016 BMW X1 spied inside and out; M35i version to pack 350 HP?

Plug-in hybrid version planned

The second generation BMW X1 has returned in a new set of up-close spy images ahead of an official reveal likely planned for the second half of the year.

Still heavily camouflaged, the new X1 will adopt an evolutionary design but underneath the skin it will be an entirely different car as it's bound to ride on the UKL1 platform. As a consequence, front-wheel drive will be standard but select versions will be optionally available with an xDrive all-wheel drive system. It might not be that noticeable in the attached photos but the new X1 will be substantially bigger and it will even be offered as a seven-seater (5+2).

Dressed in heavy camouflage, the model has an evolutionary design that mimics the 2016 7-Series. Unfortunately, we can't see too many details but there's a dual exhaust system and a slightly larger grille.

BMW X4 gets police livery from AC Schnitzer

The tuner's fourth TUNE IT! SAFE! car

German tuner AC Schnitzer was in charge of turning the BMW X4 into a police car as part of the TUNE IT! SAFE! Initiative by the Association of German Vehicle Tuners.

It's actually their fourth vehicle of this kind after the 2009 BMW 123d Coupe, 2010 MINI E and last year's BMW 428i Coupe. For 2014 they focused on the BMW X4 in the 20i guise and they bumped output of the four-cylinder 2.0-liter turbo engine from 184 HP (135 kW) to 245 HP (180 kW). Thanks to these changes, the X4 now runs the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 6.7 seconds while the 50-112 mph (80-180 km/h) sprint is done in 17.5 seconds before hitting a top speed of 132 mph (212 km/h).
