2012 BMW M5 Frozen Silver seen at LA Motor Show

Though apparently focused on their return to the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show and their two main presences there, the hybrid 5 Series and the i Range, BMW knows the importance of the LA Motor Show.

A lovely showcase at the American motor show in Los Angeles features the 2012 F10 BMW M5, with added goodness of a couple of special paint options being included in the lineup offering.

The new paint finishes are called Frozen Silver and Frozen Gray and they are similar to the ones they sold some limited edition M3s over this and the past year.

No pun intended on the brand new F30 BMW 3 Series but the F10 M5 is considerably more interesting and though a little inconvenient, the new paint looks brilliant.

Further more, BMW plans to introduce the new Frozen Silver finish into the premium paint offerings, thus making it available to all F10 M5 purchases not just those of limited edition stamping.
 
Mind you, a price of around 5000 dollars for the special exterior skin of the BMW M5 will still keep a shade of exclusivity.

A new paint finish is nice but the 4.4 liter twin turbo V8 engine that can develop 560 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque is what really gets your heart going.

By Viknesh Vijayenthiran

BMW’s new 3-Series, the sixth generation of the automaker’s entry-level sedan, is now bigger, bolder, and with a revamped engine lineup including a hybrid option, more fuel efficient than ever.

Set to go on sale in February as a 2012 model, the ‘F30’ 3-Series also debuts BMW’s new face, which features elongated headlights reaching along as far as the trademark kidney grille.

BMW M3 Sedan - The Ultimate Q-Ship for the Garden State

Dom Miliano, Newark BMW Examiner

If you know anything about New Jersey, you know it’s a crowded place to drive a car. Big SUVs, slow humdrum slugs and anything that’s not nimble will put you in second place (or worse) in the daily joust that is the Garden State Grand Prix. Also, if you buzz the roads in a bright red, super sexy, low, sleek sportster, you have essentially tipped your hand to the competition – i.e., that mouth breathing bozo in the lane next to you! But a well made slate gray, 4-door sedan – no wings, no buzzy exhaust, no bill board sized decals – can level the playing field. It just might let you fly under the radar and give you an edge when it comes to squirting into a gap or making time in traffic. If that’s your cup of espresso, I have your car – the BMW M3 sedan.

Eisenmann Exhaust System For BMW 550i

When BMW dropped the V8 naturally-aspirated engines in favor for the new twin-turbo powerplants, many BMW fans and owners complained about the lack of “real sound” coming from underneath the hood or through the exhaust pipes.

Currently, the F10 BMW 550 is powered by a V8 twin-turbo unit producing 407 horsepower and outputting a decent sound through the exhaust pipes. The remedy came shorter after the market launch of the new 5 Series when respectable tuners released their own exhaust systems
