E36 Driver Almost Buys the Farm

It's one thing to be rocking wheels this hideous, but its quite another when one flies off and nearly kills someone on the highway. Bimmerforums user kpipalldaway2 has a brush with death as the wheel demolishes his windshield and nearly tears his roof off - just inches from where he was sitting. It's a shame, as this was one clean E36 before receiving the unsolicited cabriolet treatment.

2nd Highest HP BMW E46 M3 Turbo

Remarkably executed, this Active Autowerke E46 M3 Turbo is currently putting down a mind numbing 709hp to the wheels on 109 octane.

Just about any backyard tuner can weld together a manifold, slap on a hairdryer and call it a day. It takes real engineering, however, to come up with a setup this clean - looking as if it rolled off the showroom floor this way.

E92 M3 Driving Experience

Only in Germany. DinanDriver on Bimmerpages posts a plethora of snaps featuring our favorite new bimmer gracing the wet asphalt in mass quantities. Apparently if you're a prominent who's-who in the automotive world, you probably received an invite to this event. (They must have sent mine to the wrong address). Multiple lapping sessions on a wet racetrack? Check. Every generation of M3kind out for display? Check. Four liter v8 on a pedestal for all to ogle? Check!

400hp, 4.0 liter V8 - Holy specific output, Batman!

Eight - count 'em eight individual throttle bodies
