While the BMW M135i looks understated, it’s a brute of a car. Making 316bhp from its 3.0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder engine, it eclipses the 276bhp Vauxhall Astra VXR and the 296bhp four-wheel-drive Audi S3 for horsepower.

The sixth generation of the venerable BMW 3-series debuted for the 2012 model year to widespread acclaim from mommy bloggers, hypermilers, and the tech press alike, each group enthralled with the Ultimate Driving Machine’s new features.

But who else is going to get excited by a car that parks itself, helps you drive like Wayne Gerdes, and allows posting to Facebook while carving corners?

Since the X5 is crafted in the United States, the automaker chose to stage the international media launch for the 2011 model in Miami, where Leftlane got the chance to check out its new powertrain lineup and other tweaks – not to mention an opportunity to visit some alligators who did their best to convince us that leather should always be made from cattle (see photo gallery for our new friends).

Just when we thought BMW’s convoluted naming scheme couldn’t get any longer, the company resurrects the “is” suffix and tacks it onto the sDrive35 badge. We're surprised the company didn't call it a Z4 M. Until this year, BMW M cars all had engines distinct from those in standard BMWs, but the X5 M and X6 M which share the guts of their V-8s with more pedestrian BMW models have already crossed that line.

The new BMW supercar , BMW i8, has been snapped by spy photographers. Behind rose-tinted specs it’s a modern day M1, but in truth it’s a very different kind of car. It should usher in the age of the clean supercar, with a hybrid drivetrain linking a small internal combustion engine (BMW has a 1.5-litre three cylinder petrol unit on the way) and electric motors.
