BMW M6 And Nissan GTR By 1013MM Photography Autoplex BMW

There are some days when writing about car is quite exciting, if not every day. And today is one of those days. Writing an article on a photo shoot that has a BMW M6 and a Nissan GTR all in one place may well be one of the easiest things to do for an automotive writer.

Even though these two cars are often compared to each other, I personally believe they are miles apart in some aspects.

The Nissan GT-R is powered by the VR38DETT V6 engine, a 3.8l DOHC V6 with plasma transferred wire arc sprayed cylinder bores. Two parallel Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries (IHI) turbochargers provide forced induction, allowing for great levels of power in a light and volume related a really small engine by the horsepower it produces. Nissan GTR produces manufacturer-claimed engine output (for the first models) of 492 PS (362 kW; 485 hp) at 6400 rpm and 434 lb·ft (588 N·m) at 3200–5200 rpm. This propels the 1,730 or 1,736 kg (3,814 or 3,827 lb) heavy Nissan GTR (depending on model) from 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in under 4.0 seconds. Top speed is 193 mph (311 km/h) for early models.

As far as the BMW M6 goes, the luxury sports car (available as a Coupe or Gran Coupe) features a 4.4l V8 engine that is internally named S63tu which develops 560hp (414kW). This engine provides all the power to the rear wheels through a 7-speed DCT transmission, allowing the 1,929kg or 4,424lbs heavy vehicle to reach 100km/h or 62 mph from a standstill in 4.2 seconds. Top speed is limited to 250km/h which is pretty much the standard for German cars. The front of the car has a newly designed M kidney grille with an “M6” badge – a homage to the first generation M6 which makes me all giddy considering how well details on cars like these work in every way possible.

With a photoshoot by 1013MM Photography, a set of custom Forgestar wheels added, we are certain you will enjoy the media gallery below.

As a visual comparison goes, it’s definitely hard to decide between these two. Both poses some great lines and overall they look outstanding! Enjoy some wallpapers and make sure to tell us how do you like photoshoots like these in the comments below as well.

BMW M4 coupe 2014 review over 1,000 miles | Autoplex BMW

CarBuyer takes the new 2014 BMW M4 Coupe over a 1,000 miles trip to test its capabilities and features.

The F80 2015 BMW M3 Sedan went on sale this month in the U.S. and costs $62,000. The 2015 BMW M4 Coupe sells for $64,200. Destination and handling is $925.

The new M3 and M4 use a 3.0 liter turbocharged engine that produces 425 HP and 560 Nm (413 lb-ft) of torque. The car weighs under 1,500 kg (3,300 lbs). From 0-100 km/h (0-62), the 2014 BMW M4 runs in 4.1 seconds with DCT while the M3 runs the same distance in 4.3 seconds, with the same transmission.

So what’s their conclusion?

“Despite costing more than £55,000, the BMW M4′s combination of talents means it’s a performance bargain.”

The New BMW X6 | Autoplex Bmw

- Second generation of the world’s first Sports Activity Coupe
- New rear-wheel drive X6 sDrive35i
- Improved performance for the V8 X6 xDrive50i

With the introduction of the all-new 2015 BMW X6, the company celebrates the second generation of the world’s first-ever Sports Activity Coupe. When the company took the bold step of combining the performance of a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle with the emotional design character of a traditional coupe, BMW created a vehicle concept that the market had not yet even conceived of. With global sales of 250,000 X6s to date, it is clearly a concept that the marketplace has embraced. In addition to an updated and even more extroverted design, the new X6 introduces the first rear-wheel drive model in the line-up with the X6 sDrive35i, powered by BMW’s award-winning 300-horsepower TwinPower Turbo inline six. It joins models with xDrive, BMW’s intelligent all-wheel drive system – the BMW X6 xDrive35i and the X6 xDrive50i featuring BMW’s updated 445-horsepower TwinPower Turbo 4.4-liter V8. All models are equipped with BMW’s 8-speed Steptronic sport automatic transmission. The new 2015 BMW X6 will again be produced exclusively at the company’s production facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina and will arrive in US showrooms in late 2014. Pricing will be announced closer to launch.

Exterior design: dynamic proportions, fluid lines, striking accents. 
The design of the new BMW X6 body combines the robust presence of a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle® with the hallmark sporting elegance of the brand’s Coupes to create an unmistakably athletic appearance. The long hood, long wheelbase, short front overhang and set-back passenger compartment are characteristic design features of a BMW. Its high window sill and large wheel arches highlight the Sports Activity Coupe’s ties to the BMW SAV family.

Dynamic proportions and flowing lines reflect its sporty, agile handling on the road. The muscular and robust aspects of the vehicle’s design point to its versatility and appetite for action off the beaten track. At the front of the vehicle, the X-shaped contour lines of the bumper, the matt-silver underbody protection, the particularly powerful design of the BMW kidney grille and the arrangement of the twin circular headlights along front LED foglights are the most prominent signature features of a BMW SAV. The large headlight units reach all the way to the BMW kidney grille and extend outwards well into the fenders. Sweeping chrome inserts and the prominently three-dimensional design of the lights underline the sophisticated character of the standard Xenon headlights. Optional Adaptive LED Headlights can be specified for the new BMW X6.
