Car lovers often name vehicles by their distinctive exhaust note as they drive by. These minute differences are often compared to musical instruments because of there complex nature (also why games have a hard time getting it right). Format67 releases their next video to see if they can blur the line between a musical symphony and a motor to the same tune.

You’ve probably seen this video floating around but I had to post it. Motor Trend decided to hold the greatest drag race using only the best cars in the world. The list: BMW 1M, Ford Mustang Boss 302, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Ferrari 458, Nissan GT-R, Audi R8 GT, Mercedes-Benz SLS, Lexus LF-A, Porsche Cayman R and the Lotus Evora S.

One of the most dreaded ricer trends known to man is the blacked out look. It’s where the owner decides to make everything black: tail lights, head lights, windshield and wheels. The Singapore owner of this BMW 1M decided he wanted to look different and white’d out his car…but stopped at the wheels because that would be too much.

Wrapping has been popular trend in the past year, rightfully so since it’s cheaper than repainting your car and if you ever tired of your wrap you can simply rip it off. Typically people will use vinyl or faux carbon fiber to wrap their cars, however this X6 owner decided those were too tacky and went with a leather wrap instead. Hopefully this trend doesn’t catch on!

Earlier this week I posted a great video highlighting JDM Legends, a classic JDM shop. For the next episode, Depth of Speed explores one of the common occurrences of owning a car – the bond. John Clason interviews Sky Lund about his bond with his BMW 2002.

To celebrate the 75th birthday of the classic 328, BMW produced this homage to the sports car and unveiled it at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy. Many cues were taken from the original 328: a split windshield, round headlights, hood straps and tall kidney grilles. The 328 concept’s body is made of plastic reinforced carbon fiber to keep the body light weight. I’m loving the unique styling of the vehicle especially the leather accents used around the car.

In this episode, the Top Gear crew come up with an ingenious solution to convert combine harvesters into a snow plows at a flick of a switch. Clarkson drives the newest revision of the BMW M3, with the competition package. Not to be biased Clarkson then drives the Audi RS5 and see how it compares to the M3. Torrents for the episode can be found on Final Gear.

Superbowl XLV wrapped up yesterday with the Green Bay packers taking home the championship against the Pittsburgh Steelers. If you haven’t heard about the Superbowl it is the final championship game played in the National Football League in the USA. The Superbowl is easily the most popular/most-watched event on American television and is sometimes considered an American holiday. Due to its popularity,, commercial airtime is limited and extremely expensive. Because of the limited airtime and high cost, companies often focus on creating short memorable commercials. I’ve rounded up what I thought were the best car related commercials, so everyone could enjoy them. Videos after the jump.

I’ve seen this car’s journey from start to finish while working at Garage Works of an on for 5 years and now it’s time for this car to find it’s new owner. It originally started as a champagne coloured car, but slowly it was modified with a Hamann lip and dropped on 22″ rims. This car had always been one of our focal pieces at the shop, it had most of our products installed on it and it was an eye catcher. The biggest change is when we wrapped it in flat black vinyl, the changes were jaw dropping. Instead of a tame luxury coupe with big wheels, it transformed into a menacing angel eyed coupe with big wheels. This car definitely put Garage Works on the map, but unfortunately it was time to let go – the owner has put it up for sale on Avant Garde Motorsports. Luckily I was commissioned to take the photos used on Avant Garde.

Now even your kids can have their own BMW with this M3 GT2 toy car. Unlike the real thing, this version can be powered by a pedal or an electric motor. Don’t expect too much speed from the latter, as the top speed is a measly 2.5 km/h. Bigger picture after the jump.
