BMW X5M and BMW X6M - SUVs With M Power? Surely Not!
At my visit to the last Frankfurt Motorshow, I was able to view the new X5M and X6M up close. The standard X5 and X6 are both stunning off-roaders but when BMW have worked their magic on them and produced an M version - they really are something special.
Some purists are asking why BMW have produced an M version of an SUV. Their opinion is that the M treatment should be used only to produce road going racers like the original E30 M3. Whilst there has been nothing quite like the E30 M3 since, all M models are spectacular cars in their own right.
OEM BMW Parts vs Aftermarket BMW Auto Parts
If you own a BMW chances are you have scoured the internet searching for great deals on BMW parts and accessories. Who can blame you? BMW's are infamous for their great handling, but with great handling comes the associated wear and tear of the suspension and steering parts (ie BMW control arms and thrust arms). When these parts begin to wear, its not surprising when you get an outrageous quote from a dealership for hundreds, if not several thousands of dollars to replace these steering and suspension parts. I'm just using BMW control arms as an example, but its across the board for any European cars such as Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, and Volkswagen.
2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series Coupe
Back in February 2011, Mercedes-Benz announced that they are re-introducing the C-Class Coupe and I am sure that I am not the first person to say that the new Mercedes Benz C-Class Coupe is 100x better looking than the prior iteration of the Coupe. Additionally, Mercedes-Benz also noted they will produce a high performance AMG version. Specifically, it will be a Mercedes Benz C63 AMG Black Series Coupe and this time Mercedes' AMG division claims that it was purpose built from the ground up for performance. That said, yes every AMG model has solid performance figures, but the Mercedes Benz E63 AMG, CL63 AMG or CLS63 AMG essentially had "bolt-on" performance modifications. The C63 AMG Black Series on the other hand was crafted to encroach on BMW M territory.

Lamborghini Gallardo Overview
In the prestigious 2010, U.S. News and World Report ranking of exotic sports cars the Lamborghini Gallardo tied for second with Ferrari's 612 Scaglietti. This couple placed second to Lamborghini's Murciealago, which costs just a few dollars more than the combined price of the Gallardo and Scaglietti.
A compilation of reviews, presented by all the major automotive publications, with results of test drives and their analysis of each vehicle in the competition is the basis for U.S. News' ranking system.
