| BMW Reveals 2013 M6 Coupe and Convertible with 560HP Bi-Turbo V8 [30 Photos] Posted: 11 Feb 2012 04:36 PM PST  The famous M badge returns to BMW's 6-Series range with the official unveiling of the new M6 Coupe and Convertible models ahead of their world premieres at the Geneva Salon in March and the New York Auto Show in April respectively. Not surprisingly, at the heart of the M6 lies the same 4.4-liter V8 engine with two twin-scroll turbochargers found in the latest M5 sedan with the internal designation S63Tü. Just as it does in the M5 saloon, the eight-cylinder unit produces an output of 560-horses (412kW) between 5,750 and 7,000 rpm, and a peak torque of 680Nm (502lb-ft) between 1,500 and 5,750 rpm. BMW also tells us that the rev limiter intervenes at 7,200 rpm.

| Polish Woman Fails Miserably in Driving Lesson, but was it Really her Fault? Posted: 11 Feb 2012 11:16 AM PST  Taking your first driving lessons is kinda like taking your first baby steps; it can be a nerve-wracking experience and you're bound to make mistakes. However, some mistakes can be more costly and far more dangerous than others... A woman from Częstochowa, Poland, got herself into a life-threatening situation during a driving lesson in an enclosed area when she accidentally stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake driving the Suzuki Swift hatchback right into a concrete barrier and out to a main freeway! Luckily, there were no cars crossing the road at the time. Read more »
