BMW is gearing up for the online unveiling of its latest design study, the GINA Light Visionary Model. Unlike the BMW M1 Homage concept, this one's actually a runner, as evidenced by the video posted below the fold, showing the concept being driven from the studio into a car carrier then unloaded at the BMW Museum in Munich.
The general proportions and layout of the car are similar to that of the M1 Homage concept shown earlier this year, but the removable targa-style top and rear shelf area are definitely different. You can just see the edges of the new concept in the footage, as well as a Knight Rider-esque lightbar in the tail.

BMW GINA Light Visionary Concept Teaser Video
Video: BMW Shoot Out - Dinan 335i vs. Stock M3
The Bavarian brothers from the house of BMW battle to claim supremacy in "Sibling Rivalry." Watch as Craig Stanton pushes each car to their limits as we find out which prevails - stock or not.
Just for your info, the test b/w Stage III Dinan 335i and the stock E92 M3 took place at Willow Springs Raceway.
The BMW 335i comes with a tweaked ECU, twin-turbo'd 3.0-liter inline-six. Dinan announced its Stage 3 package which includes a fully-adjustable suspension and a handful of engine mods that bring output up to 406 hp and a 460 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,300 RPM. This gives Dinan 335i an advantage of better torque and low curb-weight but you just can't ignore the power of M3.
To upgrade the Bimmer to Dinan Stage 3 specs cost about $14,000. Compare this to $56,500 for new M3 and you solve the puzzle. But if you don't like puzzles then just forget everything and enjoy the video.
Comparison: 2008 BMW 135i Versus Mitsubishi Lancer Evo MR
Watch the head-to-head comparison video below between the new 08 model BMW 135i coupe and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR by Motor Trend. What possibly could have lead to this unexpected comparison? Well the reason is their similar power figures and the mid $30,000 price tag that both vehicles come with.
Before you play the video, it will help to go thru the brief specs for both the cars. 2008 BMW 135i rear-driven comes with a 3.0 liter inline 6-cylinder engine that gives out 300 hp horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. While the all-wheel-drive 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR is powered with 2.0 liter 4-cylinder 16-valve DOHC MIVEC engine that makes 295 hp horsepower and 300 ft-lbs. of torque.
