10 Greatest Hits From The BMW M Division

Posted on By

Originally introduced to crank up BMW’s racing program, the BMW M (stands for Motorsport) division provided the automaker with an impetus that further solidified BMW’s place among the super performers. The phenomenal success of the segment early on led to a quick expansion in M’s area of interest, and the segment soon penetrated BMW’s vehicle portfolio with highly modified trim levels, enhanced engines, transmission, and exteriors – all bearing the revered M badge.


By the mid-80s, Motorsport was in BMW’s DNA with dozens of high-performance models. With virtually every M model, the Bavarian manufacturer has either given birth to an

WalzWerk Motorcycles Presents Immaculate BMW R100RS Custom

Posted on By sNawaWebs.ADV

In 1990, Marcus Walz established WalzWerk Motorcycles in Schwetzingen, Germany. The custom shop originally specialized in Harley-Davidson customs, riding the custom chopper fad of the aughts to great success. By 2012, Walz turned his attention to the budding café racer trend and home country OEM BMW with his Schizzo project.

Ever since, WalzWerk has become synonymous with the nostalgic yet minimalist style. With more than 30 years under its belt, the garage recently undertook its 1,000th motorcycle project. In true WalzWerk fashion, the team bestowed its trademark style on a 1990 BMW R100RS.

VW Golf R Surprises Against Cadillac CT4-V, BMW M240i In Drag Races

Posted on By sNawaWebs.ADV

The Volkswagen Golf R, Cadillac CT4-V, and BMW M240i are exciting performance cars. Each one features all-wheel drive with turbocharged engines making between 300 and 400 horsepower, and a new SamLegion YouTube video figures out which is the drag racing superstar.

The Volkswagen Golf R is the weakest of the bunch. Its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine produces 315 horsepower (234 kilowatts) and 310 pound-feet (420 Newton-meters) of torque. A seven-speed dual-clutch transmission feeds power to all four wheels. However, it is the lightest of the bunch by about 300 pounds (136 kilograms).

VTR Customs reimagines Beemer’s long-legged cruiser as a long-range… er, “transport aircraft”

If the riveted metal, flat paint and cooling fins didn’t already give so much away, there’s something of an aeronautical bent to VTR Custom’s version of BMW’s R18 cruiser. 

Of course, there’s also something of a café racer bent as well. The Rolling Stones-esque paint-it-black treatment on anything with the temerity to be not black is a fair start, as are the tank-knocking clip on bars, minimalist headlight cowl and fibreglass-wrapped headers. Fitting custom front forks that lower

Posted on By sNawaWebs.ADV

At this point in time, we can certainly say that the electric motorcycle industry is still pretty much in its infancy. This is especially true if we look at how far internal-combustion technology has advanced since it inception more than a century ago. Nevertheless, the technology found in today’s motorcycles certainly provide an interesting launchpad for the machines of the future. Suffice it to say that the sky’s the limit, especially now. 

Indeed thinking outside the box is what a lot of designers are doing, envisioning ideas for the future of motorcycling. Take, for example, this BMW x NVIDIA concept

Posted on By sNawaWebs.ADV

WIRED said 12 months ago that 2022 was going to be a pivotal year for electric cars. Judging by the 18 models we told you to watch out for, as well as the increasingly long wait lists for new electric vehicles, we were right. 

Despite those wait times, the trend of growing EV and declining internal combustion engine vehicle sales continued, with the US seeing a 49 percent uptick in electric cars sold in the first half of 2022. China experienced a whopping 113 percent surge. Indeed, full EVs accounted for 13 percent of all new car sales globally last

India Bike Week 2022: BMW S 1000 RR, KTM MotoGP bike shwon, off-road races

India’s biggest motorcycling event returned to its spiritual home in Goa last year.

Published On Jan 17, 2023 04:32:00 PM

Perhaps the biggest event on any Indian motorcyclist’s calendar is India Bike Week. And with me being relatively new to the biking scene, I was very keen to see what all the fuss was about. So as soon as the invite came in, I nominated myself to attend the event and experience the frenzy.

So with my bags packed and the bike prepped (I was riding down on our long-term Royal Enfield Scram 411), we set off nice and early
