BMW M3 Frozen track tested!
Watch CAR track test driver, multiple South African racing champion Deon Joubert, drift the limited edition BMW M3 Frozen Edition at Cape Town’s Killarney circuit. Once you’ve had your fill of all the raucous tyre-screeching action, check out the full road test in the May 2011 issue of CAR magazine.

BMW’s new M performance exhaust [video]
BMW has announced a new M Performance exhaust system which will be available as an after-market accessory for the M3 range.
The new sport exhaust system is made of a new heat-resistant material called Inconel, a chrome-nickel alloy. The new system reduces back-pressure inside the exhaust resulting in a new sound which can be heard in many rpm incarnations in the video.
BMW 1-Series M Coupe
BMW M development head Albert Biermann revealed the baby M model will come with a twin-turbo 3.0-litre straight-six engine mated ‘exclusively’ to a six-speed box driving, obviously, the rear wheels.
He said: “A closer look at the prototypes will reveal many similarities to the chassis, brakes and rear diff of the BMW M3.”
That 1,500kg weight is an interesting figure – around 200kg lighter than the current, V8-powered M3 (and so keeping to M Boss Kay Segler’s promise of a ‘small, lightweight racer), but still 200kg heavier than the original E30. This may upset some Internet fans.
