Wow. I've been (passively) looking for this page for a while—months, at least. Before I redirected BMW Motorsport in, the only link was from the BMW page itself, and was well-buried there. Hopefully this will bring some more eyes to the page. --Milkmandan 05:20, 2005 Feb 4 (UTC)

[edit] M-series Logo
This article is missing the iconic ///M logo. 711Techwood (talk) 09:20, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
[edit] 2006 Model Year
Vrrrooooom!!! Well, BMW has moved on to producing the 2006 version of the 3 series, so, the E46 ///M3 version is basically no longer on the market. As such, I've played with the wording and location of the models under in the latter part of the article. Only the M5 and M6 are currently being produced. However, 2007 should see a new M3 take to the streets. Sirimiri 03:49, September 9, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Added a link in Previous Models
Added the M535i to the list of previous models. Rather than list it as the "E12 M535i", I'll let the link to the BMW E12 Special Models section speak for itself. Also I might go add some minor updates with information to the BMW E12 page reflecting the M535i's history as the first official BMW M car (discounting the M1 as a homogolation special).

[edit] Biturbo >> N54 or R6 ?
Can anybody tell me if the in 2007 expected 3 liter straight six bi-turbo engine will be the magnesium R6 or the alluminium N54.
[edit] Brakes?
Should it be mentioned that BMW M cars have long been known to be sporty, but lack what are widely considered to be decent brakes? Scryer_360 (talk) 00:55, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] E36 M3 did not come in a 4 door
Neither did the E46, it wasn't until E90-series that the M3 Sedan showed up. Or am I completely wrong? sv:Jonathan_W (talk) 18:14, 29 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.89.173.134 (talk)
[edit] Orphaned references in BMW M
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of BMW M's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "caranddriver.com":
- From Alpina: [1]
- From BMW M3: "2009 Porsche 911 Carrera vs. 2009 BMW M3 - Coupes/Comparison Test/Reviews/Car and Driver". Car And Driver. 2008-03-23. http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison_test/coupes/2009_porsche_911_carrera_vs_2009_bmw_m3_comparison_test+page-2.html. Retrieved 2009-06-12.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 18:21, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Z8
No mention of the Z8, whose engine was from BMW Motorsport. Whilst not badged as an ///M, it only existed in one variant, which was the quick one. Weasley one (talk) 11:35, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
