BMW's New M4 CS Limited Edition Is Tempting, But Pricey [61 Images] BMW now offers a limited edition of the M4 Coupe in Spain, equipped with M Performance parts and benefiting from a slight power bump.

Dubbed M4 CS (Competition Sport), the high-performance two-door compact is offered in just 60 units priced €132,900 ($151,425), a hefty €40,800 ($46,485) more than the regular M4. Upgrades include an extra 19 PS (19 HP) for a total of 450 PS (444 HP), cutting the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time by 0.1 seconds to 4.0 flat, and the electronically imposed 250 km/h (155 mph) top speed limit has been removed, so the CS tops out at 280 km/h (174 mph).

Manhart Fits M235i With MH2 400 Widebody Kit. In case you thought the BMW M235i was nowhere near as aggressive-looking as you wanted it to be, this widebody kit from Manhart should do the trick.

While this model still isn't as attractive overall as the recently launched M2 Coupe, the M235i remains a very fast compact car, capable of reaching 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.6 seconds as long as you go for the xDrive Coupe automatic version. Compared to the M2, it's not as quick, though some might argue that the difference is negligible, especially when tuners such as Manhart can bump performance from 326 PS to 430 PS and get peak torque to rise all the way to 592 Nm (436 lb-ft).

Top speed is somewhere north of 300 km/h (186 mph), which can be characterized as more than enough for a car this size. Labs. Owner Takes Delivery Of New BMW M2 In Alpine White.

The high-performance two-door compact was delivered in Puurs, Belgium, and it carries a 3.0-liter twin-scroll six-pot powertrain, which sends 365hp (370PS) and 343lb-ft (465Nm) of torque to the rear wheels through a standard six-speed manual or an optional seven-speed dual-clutch, allowing the car to go from rest to 100km/h (62mph) in 4.5 seconds and 4.3 seconds, respectively. Top speed is limited to 250km/h (155mph) in both versions. Russians Cause Mayhem In Drifting BMW 1M. While not as powerful or fast as the E92-generation BMW M3, the 1M Coupe is one of the most focused drivers cars launched by the German automaker in recent years.

Thanks to its potent twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, rear wheel drive and short wheelbase, it is capable of some serious driving maneuvers. As with many high performance cars, most drivers can't extract everything out of the 1M Coupe but the following owner in Russia is certainly more than capable of handling all 335 hp albeit to the risk of all other road users. Filmed on some packed streets in Russia at night, the 1M driver can be seen channeling their inner Ken Block by performing risky yet impressive driving stunts in the middle of the street, just inches away from other vehicles.

Much of the high-paced clip shows the car sliding and speeding through traffic. While we admire the driver's car control, these stunts should be reserved for a racetrack.
