M Performance Parts now enhance the already-sporty M240i coupe for drivers seeking a more athletic look for their vehicles. An Alpine White exterior of the model is coupled with carbon fiber or black details to provide a striking contrast. BMW describes, “The athletic look of the compact sports coupé is highlighted especially by the large 19 inch light alloy wheels, fitted with 225/35 R19 (front) and 245/30 R19 (rear) mixed tires. The high-quality double-spoke forged wheels are finished in bicolor Orbit Grey and have a diamond polished visible side; at the front the special edition features aerodynamic parts consisting of air guides, splitter and bumper front section, whose spoiler lip is finished in matte black. The radiator grille including kidney grille bars is also in black. The partly painted rear diffuser and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler add to the car’s expressive appeal. Here, too, carbon fiber and black colors create an impressive contrast to the car’s white paintwork.” Additionally, the M Performance edition contains a 340 horsepower inline 6-cylinder engine with M Performance TwinPower Turbo Technology that jets from zero to sixty in 4.4 seconds. Two transmission options are available—a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed Steptronic sports—to meet the needs of any driver. You won’t want to miss a test drive in this powerful special edition M240i.

BMW has recently announced that four of its models qualify for California’s High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane use. Also known as the carpool lane, the HOV lane is normally restricted to vehicles carrying more than one person. However, several hybrid and electric vehicles that qualify for a California Clean Air Vehicle (CAV) decal are allowed to drive in this traffic-light lane because they are exempt from the occupancy restriction. The 2017 BMW i3 BEV electric car and the i3 REX plug-in hybrid are both eligible for a CAV decal. Additionally, the new 2018 BMW 530e and 530e xDrive models qualify for this same designation.

We enjoy the beauty of Palm Springs and Southern California everyday. Now, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has taken the area's allure and used it as inspiration for their newest Dawn. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars announced the creation of the Dawn—Palm Springs Collection earlier this week, and their description of the new bespoke model is magnetic! The exquisite Rolls-Royce Dawn—Palm Springs Collection is currently available at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Rancho Mirage. Check out what Rolls-Royce had to say about the new vehicle. From Rolls-Royce Motor Cars: The image of the desert evokes a monochromatic view of the endless sand dune. But every year when the spring rains arrive, the desert erupts into an explosion of vibrant color as desert wildflowers blossom with life. It’s this celebration of color that inspired the designers at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Rancho Mirage to create a one-of-a-kind work of art with the ‘Rolls-Royce Dawn Palm Springs Collection.’ This one-of-one collection car is the child of creative collaboration among the team in Rancho Mirage and exquisite execution by the company’s Bespoke Design Studio in Goodwood, England. The initial idea of the Palm Springs Collection came as the team from Rancho Mirage met with local architectural and interior designers. Palm Springs has always been a winter haven and year-round home to a cadre of A-list celebrities and titans of industry with discerning taste for design and quality. They are a group that knows what they like. To celebrate this heritage, together they conceived this unique ‘one-of-one’ collection car. Working for the past year with the color, finish and material designers in the Bespoke Design Studios at the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, they created ‘Dawn Palm Springs Collection.’ ‘Dawn – Palm Springs Collection’ The inspiration for the Arctic White exterior finish is the vastness of the desert. The sleek monochrome exterior evokes the image of a blank canvass, setting the stage for the tasteful highlight of color within. The interior Bespoke coloring includes Artic White with splashes of Turchese, Mandarin giving the sense of blossoming wildflowers set against the sands of the desert. The Dawn includes classic Bespoke features that Rolls-Royce is world renowned. Such as the a two-tone hand-sewn steering wheel in Artic White and Turchese and interior hand stitching and piping highlights in Mandarin. The homes of Palm Springs have long featured cutting-edge design and furniture. From the art deco designs to neo-modern, the use of wood has been a visual treat for the Palm Springs community. ‘The Dawn Palm Springs Collection’ features full Canadel Panelling of an open pore Santos Palisander veneer, similar to what one would see on the finest designer interior furnishings and décor finishes. Set against the Artic White and Bespoke Color, the design is a true reflection of the Palm Springs lifestyle. “Our clients view their Rolls-Royce as an extension of their style and their home, and they want that same feeling of cool, modern comfort when they commission a Bespoke motor car, “said Kelly Wolf, General Manager of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Rancho Mirage part of the Indigo Auto Group. He added, “the sophisticated use of Bespoke color has risen dramatically as we have seen new clients with Dawn. We hope this creation can spark even more creative Bespoke commissions from our Palm Springs clientele.” Rolls-Royce Dawn was introduced to luxury lovers worldwide in 2016 and has quickly earned the reputation for being the “sexiest” vehicle ever created by the designers in the Rolls-Royce atelier. It has also delivered to its owners the most social drophead ever offered by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Rolls-Royce, the world’s leading luxury brand, defines its marque through the Bespoke options offered to clients. Traditional hand-crafted wood and leather combined with the latest in modern materials topped off with a palette of 44,000 colors are all part of the Rolls-Royce Bespoke experience. More than eighty percent of Rolls-Royce owners Bespoke their commission with exclusive content, and this new showroom offers a creative environment where they can work with expert designers to create their very own exclusive Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Americas recorded a third consecutive year of record sales in 2016. Sales soared 12% for the year, propelled by the new Rolls-Royce Dawn. The Americas remain the largest region for the world’s leading luxury house, and represents more than one-third of the iconic brand’s sales. Rolls-Royce continued to dominate the North American super-luxury arena (motor cars topping $250,000). The success is a direct result of the company’s leadership in offering a steady stream of exciting new luxury products and exclusive Bespoke features for the most discerning clients in the world, Rolls-Royce motor car owners.

Lamborghini enthusiasts now have even more to rave about when it comes to the performance of the luxury brand. The Huracan Performante has surpassed the Porsche 918 Spyder by setting a new lap record at the Nurburgring Nordschleife. The Huracan Performante's new lap record is six minutes and 52 seconds. The vehicle, set to debut at the Geneva Auto Show, has received nothing but accolades from automotive experts. The team at MotorTrend writes, "The part of the Performante that’s going to excite you supercar lovers the most is ALA. That’s short for Aerodynamica Lamborghini Attiva, and the folks from Sant’Agata have just patented it because ALA is an entirely new way to do active aerodynamics.That isn’t all that’s improved, though. Power is up! And that’s always a good thing. Especially when your garden variety Huracán is capable of producing “only” 602 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque from its 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V-10. For Performante duty, the engine gets new intake and exhaust camshafts, an air intake borrowed from the gentlemen racer Super Trofeo Huracáns, and a new exhaust system that relieves backpressure. The result is 25 to 40 more horsepower and an additional 30 lb-ft of torque. Assume that final numbers will be between 625 and 640 hp and 453 lb-ft of torque. They’re still working out the details. The seven-speed dual-clutch transmission has also been re-optimized for crisper, smarter shifts. The last time we tested a Huracán, it hit 60 mph in 2.8 seconds. Expect the Performante to be quicker." Speaking of the car's various modes and stability control settings, Lorenzo Rinaldi, Automobili Lamborghini’s Head of Vehicle Dynamics, said in a recent interview, "Sport is dedicated to make the car feel a little loose and tail-happy. For the fastest lap times, however, you’re better off in Corsa. It is more focused and sharper overall. Alternatively, you can of course switch off stability control altogether."
