| New BMW M5 F10 in an Individual Frozen Black Hue: What do You Think? Posted: 22 Sep 2011 06:24 PM PDT  Ever since BMW first showed the new M5 sports saloon earlier in the summer, and sans a white example that appeared at the firm's Frankfurt Motors show stand, the Bavarians have been constantly tossing around press pictures of the car in the Monte Carlo racing blue hue. Cool as it may be at first, over time and after a gazillion or so images of the M5 F10 in the same Monte Carlo color, we think we've just about had enough. But fear not, the Bavarian-loving guys from 5Post have obtained new photos of the V8-powered sports sedan finished in an Individual Frozen Black hue. Read more »

| Car Game Review: "Driver: San Francisco" Posted: 22 Sep 2011 04:56 PM PDT  Picture this: you're chasing down an escaped con in a stolen police van when one of his buddies rams your police cruiser off the road. No matter, as you can jump out of your body and into that of suburban soccer mom, using her minivan to disable the escapee and complete the mission. This is the main gimmick of Driver: San Francisco, the latest in a long-line of cops 'n' robbers driving games from developer Ubisoft. And it works, thanks to intuitive game play mechanics and missions that encourage thinking outside the box. Read more »

| Ice, Ice Baby: Ferrari Offers Winter Driving Course in Aspen for the Low Price of $11,399 Posted: 22 Sep 2011 03:15 PM PDT  Some things just don't make sense, no matter how vivid your imagination is. Envision Land Rover racing at Le Mans, or Maserati manufacturing an SUV. Doesn't it sound absurd? Actually, scratch the last example about Maserati: it will actually happen. Well, up until recently, you wouldn't imagine a four-wheel drive Ferrari either. Thankfully, despite sporting the 4RM AWD system, the FF remains a pure sports car. Now, Ferrari wants to show its versatility to its American customers, so it's adapting its "Pilota on Ice" driving program for the US. Read more »

| BMW CEO Confirms X4 Crossover, will Slot Between X3 and X5 Posted: 22 Sep 2011 10:35 AM PDT  [BMW X6 M pictured above] For over a year now, we suspected that BMW was contemplating a smaller version of the X6, or if you prefer, a sportier, fastback variant of the X3. Considering that the X5's sportier but less practical and for some, more awkward looking, sister has proved to be a huge sales success, it would be a logical move to expand the lineup to include a similar model. As it turns out, BMW officials have the same mindset. The Munich-based company's CEO, Norbert Reithofer, has confirmed in an interview with Auto Motor und Sport that the X4 will indeed be built.
