BMW M PowerSource website

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Some pretty cool info when you click on the Take the Tour tab...like the E63 M6 hitting 211 mph on the autobahn (de-limited)

Did you scroll to the M3 info and see them pictures of the engine apart? cool stuff

TheYoungConnoisseur · 05-30-2013, 09:10 PM

Yeah.... the 211mph m6 had to be with a tail wind. It wont even read 211 on the HUD not taking error into effect.

Cool wall tho

Bob Lutz started the M division?! How did I not know that?! I love that guy even more now...

FogCityM3 · 05-31-2013, 09:51 AM

Yeah pretty interesting... I guess that explains why in that Caddy CTS-V showdown sponsored by GM a few yrs ago, Lutz looked/sounded completely tripped out when that 20 yr old kid with an M3 sedan bested Lutz' time. In the afternoon run, GM had to get a couple of its expert testers/drivers on the track to beat the M3.

Site is "neat", but at the expense of UX.

Very interesting and cool. Thanks for Sharing

jimbethesda · 05-31-2013, 11:29 AM

Great info, but the person responsible for the layout should be fired! This is the worst design I have ever seen, which is a shame because the content is great.

How could a design so inept be allowed to go forward?

It is especially unusable on a tablet.

Wow is all I can say.

cncmastr · 05-31-2013, 11:32 AM

Really cool! Although, there is no Alcantara...

It say's the E46 is a 5-speed.

JustMpwrd · 05-31-2013, 11:36 AM

I found one place where the site said the V8 in the M3 GT (ALMS series) is turbocharged.....

I was frustrated by the layout until I found the shortcut menus at the bottom.
