BMW Horsepower King: The 3 Most Powerful Cars Ever Produced

A car without good horsepower is practically useless. Picture driving a car that accelerates sluggishly and drags on the road every time you take it out. It's not a pleasant experience and is a hassle for any car owner.

The greater the horsepower, the better the performance. Your car should always be at its peak performance when you drive. If you’re a BMW enthusiast, you have a wide array of powerful cars to choose from.

BMW has released numerous high-horsepower cars that drive like a dream. These vehicles, powered by impressive BMW V8 engines, boast horsepower ranging from 200 to over 600, with some rumored to reach up to 700 hp.

However, before purchasing your Optimal Used BMW, it’s essential to know which model offers the highest horsepower. A stylish car body isn't enough; you want a reliable vehicle that won't cost a fortune in repairs.

Read this article to discover which BMW has the highest horsepower and its remarkable features, ensuring you get a car that’s truly worth your investment.

2011 BMW M3 GTS (E92) - Packing a robust 444 horsepower

In 2010, BMW's engineers took inspiration from Porsche and created a GTS variant of the M3. They trimmed down the M3 by removing the rear seats, lightening the door trim, and slimming down the center console. Additional weight-saving measures included eliminating most of the sound system, replacing the rear windows with polycarbonate, and equipping the car with a lightweight titanium exhaust system. As a result, the GTS was approximately 100 pounds lighter than the standard M3.

The GTS also featured a firmer suspension and a more potent engine. BMW modified the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter V-8, expanding it to a 4.4-liter V-8. Despite the substantial increase in engine size, the GTS generated only 30 additional horsepower and 30 extra foot-pounds of torque compared to the standard M3. However, the combination of increased power and reduced weight made the GTS significantly quicker than the base model. Unfortunately, BMW chose not to release the GTS in the United States.

M4 DTM Champion - A formidable 493 horsepower

To commemorate Marco Wittmann's victories in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters of 2014 and 2016, BMW crafted 200 exclusive M4 DTM Champion editions. These special editions were exclusively painted Alpine White, adorned with M racing-themed stripes that accentuated the car's sleek design. The aesthetic was further enhanced by exposed carbon fiber elements, including the front splitter, mirror caps, side skirts, rear diffuser, and rear spoiler, providing a striking contrast against the pristine white bodywork.

This special M4 was not only enhanced for performance but also underwent weight reduction for optimal agility. Equipped with a water injection system, it boasted 49 additional horsepower compared to the M4 with the competition package. To shed weight, components such as the roof, hood, and instrument panel support were crafted from lightweight carbon-reinforced plastic composites. Similar to the BMW M3 GTS, the M4 DTM Champion was not offered in the United States.

Tuners like Manhart have demonstrated the potential for even greater power from the M4 DTM. By extracting 708 horsepower from its engine, they showcased how BMW engineers could have pushed the limits further if they chose to do so.

2022 BMW X3M Competition - 503 Horsepower

The X3M is already an SUV that packs a surprising punch, but the Competition edition takes it to a whole new realm. With an additional 37 pound-feet of torque, it's like turning up the volume to eleven, though that analogy hardly does it justice. While the standard X3M maxes out at 155 miles per hour, the Competition variant pushes the boundaries to 177. Adding to its allure are 21-inch lightweight wheels, a sleek gloss black grille, and mirror caps. Inside, the seats feature more pronounced bolsters, ensuring a dynamic driving experience unmatched in its class.

2022 BMW X3M Performance Specifications

Engine: 3.0L twin-turbo Inline-six

Horsepower: 503 horsepower

Torque: 457 pound-feet

Transmission: Eight-Speed Automatic

Driveline: AWD

0-60 MPH: 3.2 seconds

Top Speed: 177 mph

The X3 M effortlessly blends opulence, performance, and the utilitarian appeal that resonates so well with American SUV enthusiasts. Step inside, and you're greeted with a high-tech digital gauge cluster, plush heated front seats, power-adjustable fronts, and ambient interior lighting that sets the mood just right. Opt for the bells and whistles—like heated rear seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a toasty heated steering wheel—and BMW will happily oblige for a little extra cash. Plus, the X3 M doesn't compromise on practicality, offering ample room for both passengers and cargo, ensuring every journey is as comfortable as it is exhilarating.

Well 2 weekends ago, 2 events, some 4000 shots. Formula Drift in Englishtown, NJ on Friday and IMSA 6 Hours of the Glen on Sunday. Took a week to go through everything. Here are some shots from Englishtown.

I really tried to shoot a lot slower. I'm usually shooting 1/80 maybe 1/100 to make sure I get something I can use. This time I was going 1/60 and below. Which brought my hit rate way down. It was also very hot and I feel like that took my game down a notch. But, I feel like I got some decent stuff out of it.

Week two prompt: Backseat

Steve is a transformer and Eddie is the mechanic in love with him. Dustin accidentally spills soda all over Steve’s backseat and Eddie has to clean it up. In spite of Eddie's best efforts the sticky situation only gets stickier.

(in which Steve IS the backseat)

From his crouched position on the ground, Eddie shifted to the right, barely avoiding the car door that swung open. He wobbled in place and stuck a hand out to regain his balance. His hand smacked into the car's exterior, where he was scrubbing with a soapy sponge.   

“Hey! I wasn't even close to scratching your paint, this stuff is sticky, Dude. It's gonna take some elbow grease to get it out”, Eddie said. He swiped a forearm over his face, not sure if he's getting sweat or suds, but wanting to stop the trickle of moisture from getting in his eyes either way.

The door slammed shut in a huff but didn't move again when Eddie continued his scrubbing, notably with more care this time.

The 1983 733i maroon BMW was by far the most unique car Eddie had on the lot. The competition wasn’t steep, considering Munson Mechanic was a repair shop and junkyard in one. Most of the rusted cars around them were missing doors, side mirrors, engines, and decidedly not fit for the road. But, even if every hunk of junk on the property was in mint condition there would still be no competition. No, the maroon beamer was exceptional because it was actually a he . An alien–part of a race of autonomous robotic organisms that were hiding on earth disguised as human vehicles. And his name was Steve. 

Eddie sighed, “Ya know, this would be easier if we went to a car wash”.

The car’s radio turned on, 𝅘𝅥𝅮 shot through the heart and you're to blame 𝅘𝅥𝅮

“Okay! okay! drama queen”, Eddie said with a laugh. “I'll spend my afternoon handwashing you”.

𝅘𝅥𝅮 You're the best around, Nothing's gonna ever keep you down 𝅘𝅥𝅮

“That's more patronizing than encouraging”, Eddie muttered. He swiped the last of the dark residue from Steve’s sparkling maroon. “They don't do interiors anyways, and, ah, Dustin really got it everywhere in there”. Eddie looked into the backseat where soda was lazily dripping from the ceiling and drying on the leather seats.

Steve opened and shut all his doors in a synchronized angry click. Eddie was reminded of a kid stomping their foot.

“ I know , but he swore he didn't know Lucas shook it up before he handed it to him so it's not really his fault”.

Steve honked but Eddie knew the car wasn't actually mad, just like Eddie wasn't that annoyed cleaning up the mess. 

Steve loved the kids, he just had a grumpy way of showing it. Like, locking the doors on them when they tried to get in but driving them around the entirety of Hawkins anyways. Steve almost drove them into a ditch running down Billy Hargrove when he threatened the kids, but wouldn't move an inch until everyone's seat belts were fastened. Even this afternoon when Dustin doused the entire backseat and whatever got out the open window with an exploding can of grape soda, Steve still drove him home and did not start back up until the kid was safely in his house. He did pretend to run over the young teen’s foot but Eddie knew Steve wasn't even close, no matter what Dustin said.

Eddie grabbed a clean towel from the stack of cleaning supplies next to him and opened the back door wide. Steve started playing the only station that played metal. Truly a softie.

“Alright Stevie, let's get you shiny and new again”. 

Steve rocked side to side, in anticipation or impatience Eddie can't tell. Maybe both.

Eddie started wiping down the wet areas. He mopped up the ceiling and the puddle on the floor first. He then used both hands to drag the towel along the grooves of the leather seats, digging in with his fingers to get every seam. 

The radio cut out with static then stuttered back on.

“You okay?” Eddie asked, surprised, looking toward the dash.

Steve’s fuel gauge needle shot to FULL, meaning yes. A system Eddie had proposed when he and Steve first met.

“Okay…” Eddie said. Maybe Steve was more upset about being dirty than Eddie thought.

Eddie continued his movements, trying to be thorough. Steve was high maintenance at times. He’d let Eddie know, promptly and loudly , if he needed an oil change or his tire pressure was low and he refused anything but premium grade gasoline. Eddie honestly didn't mind that Steve was kind of a brat. He liked spoiling the automobile.

Finished getting all the wet soda, Eddie threw aside the ruined towel and grabbed a fresh one to dunk in the bucket of soapy water. Eddie got down on his knees on the ground beside Steve’s open door, bent over and with hard, fast motions started scrubbing the shit out of the carpeted floors.

Steve honked. A quick, seemingly accidental beep.

“Dude, are you sure you're okay?”, Eddie asked again. He paused and sat back on his heels, starting to worry. 

Steve’s fuel needle jumped back and forth a few times before shakily landing on FULL.

Boats: are they cars? New evidence suggests that they do contain gas-guzzling, emissions-spewing engines, of a horsepower unnecessary to accomplish daily transportation tasks. I'm Bob Newsgiver, thank you for sharing your evening with us tonight.

Our investigation begins in Newark. Here, we see a small "boat house," which is where these degenerate ocean-going perverts prepare their ramshackle vehicles. Once considered a middle finger into the face of God, the collapse of Western civilization and morals has caused an explosion in the number of people who have considered, experimented with, or are actively involved in the alternative lifestyle known as boating.

In case you're unfamiliar with the trend, "sailors," as they call themselves, place a boat into the water and then get inside it. Through this method, they can travel on the face of the Earth and even visit other countries. This is the historical purpose of boats, laid down in oral tradition by books. Those books, I should point out, are coincidentally written by boat operators. Our studies show that ninety-nine percent of boats actually return to their parking lot – incorrectly spelled "dock" by the illiterate psychopaths who helm these death machines – at the end of the day. The remaining one percent sink in an avoidable whale collision.

Keep an eye on your children tonight, as the ocean-going conspiracy threatens to corrupt the morals you strive to teach them. Our investigation found dozens of boat-themed toys at a local toy store. The proprietor refused to talk to us on camera, but the cops had their stun guns ready when he tried to flee.

To get close to the wave-riding radicals and discover their plans for our government and land-loving way of life, our team went undercover, donning disguises. In order to blend in, our cameraman even had to obscure his camera under a pile of unpaid bills for rope. Even our hardened veteran investigative reporters were shocked by the depth and breadth of the depravity on offered inside their so-called "marinas."

Some sailors will even engage in ocean-going congress with hundreds of others, by riding an enormous boat in a hedonistic display of consumption and excess known as "a cruise." Your reporter was not able to gain access to one of these, after they spotted him trying to leave the marina parking lot with a base-model Honda Accord instead of a financed BMW that is four to five months behind on payments. The investigation will continue.

Iso Grifo Targa Series II (1 of 4). 

Renzo Rivolta was an omnipresent industrialist and serial innovator. Tracing his manufacturing roots to before World War II, he built everything from refrigerators to scooters before the sale of his Isetta bubble car venture to German giant BMW. The proceeds of the deal launched Iso Rivolta as a car manufacturer proper, with its eponymous Bertone-styled four-seat coupé arriving in 1962, followed three years later by the sportier Grifo.Styled by Bertone’s Giorgetto Giugiaro and engineered by Giotto Bizzarrini, the new model was a gran turismo in every sense and a true competitor to the Ferrari Daytona and Maserati Ghibli. But like the Rivolta—and very unlike its rivals from Emilia Romagna—the Grifo was powered by an American V-8. Simple, rugged and powerful, Chevrolet’s 5.4-litre small block was rated at 300 horsepower, offering performance to match Bertone’s eye-catching coachwork.By 1968, the 186-mph 7-Litri arrived, propelled by Chevrolet’s famed “L71” Tri-Power V-8. Things only got better two years later with the debut of the Series II, which brought with it more refined styling with stunning and contemporary hide-away headlamps—not to mention the option of the Bowtie’s 7.4-litre big-block V-8, which was fine-tuned with forged connecting rods and dry-sump lubrication.Due to eye-watering cost, just four Series II cars left the factory with open-topped Targa coachwork; chassis 350 is one of these special examples. The car was built on 4 July 1971, specified with a reinforced chassis frame and 300-horsepower 5.7-litre Chevrolet V-8 mated to a five-speed ZF manual gearbox and 3.31:1 rear axle. The car was also fitted with factory air conditioning.

If You Ain't Cheating, You Ain't Trying...Part Two.

Last time I covered the Penske P2P scandal and the strangely similar Benetton Option 13 from thirty years prior. Today, we're going back another ten years to 1984, and examine how cheating scandals get political: this is the story of the 1984 Tyrrell 012.

The lead shot car.

So, our story begins in 1982, with the likes of Renault and Ferrari (and, with much less success, Toleman) running turbocharged engines. These turbos were marking the end of the age of the British garagistas with their venerable Ford-Cosworth DFV, but a few of the frontrunning Cosworth teams got crafty about it and put up a fight.

Brabham and Williams ran water tanks on their new carbon brakes, ostensibly for cooling, but in reality, the cars were weighed with these water tanks, they dumped them in the race, and then topped off by the time the cars made it to scrutineering by the end of the race. Thus, for most of the actual race, these cars were up to 110 pounds underweight (50 kg).

Just a few years later though, Brabham had switched to BMW, Williams to Honda, and Tyrrell was the last Cosworth team left standing.

The turbocharged engines were getting close to their peak power - over 1000 horsepower with the one-off qualifying units, and still like 800 in the races - so Tyrrell had to get even craftier to stay in contention.

Enter the water-cooled injection system on the Tyrrell 012.

Similarly to the brakes from 1982, this 1984 Tyrrell had a water tank on the engine, ostensibly for cooling purposes, that could be topped off at the last pitstop. Only it seemed like the Tyrrell wasn't just getting filled with water, but with lead shot - 140 pounds of it - and some of that was coming loose as the Tyrrell pulled out of the pits. So, Tyrrell was taking the term "shotgun exhaust" a tad bit literally, it seems.

The real trouble started in Detroit 1984, when Tyrrell's Martin Brundle finished second. That sounds good, except the only problem was...in those days, F1 had much more stringent scrutineering for the podium finishers. And thus, the hammer came down on Tyrrell.

Tyrrell was accused of filling the cars with a mixture of water, lead shot, and benzene.

Thus, Tyrrell was alleged to have, 1: Refueled when refueling was banned in 1984. 2: Used an illegal fuel. 3: Used illegal fuel lines (the cooling lines from the water tank). 4: Had an unsecured ballast (the lead shot).

For these charges, Tyrrell would be disqualified from all rounds, excluded from the championship, and was banned from attending the final three rounds of the season. Furthermore, as they now had no points whatsoever from 1984, they did not qualify for travel subsidies for 1985.

To add insult to injury, FISA fined them for missing the three races they were banned from. Furthermore, as Tyrrell was not an entrant in these races, the other teams - all of which used turbos by 1984 - could unanimously push through regulation changes that benefitted them. Thus, attempts to limit the fuel usage of turbocharged engines were abandoned, 1985 and 1986 would be the years of unrestricted turbos up and down the field.

The writing was on the wall, and by the middle of 1985, Tyrrell would adopt a Renault turbocharged engine.

Thus, was it really about lead shot or illegal fuel or water tanks, or was it about FISA and the turbo teams strongarming the last naturally aspirated team into compliance? I think it was the latter a lot more than the former.

Similarly, the crisis that prompted this whole discussion - the Penske cheating scandal in the 2024 NTT Indycar Series - is that really all about using push-to-pass on restarts at St. Pete? Or is it about the fact that Roger Penske owns the series, owns the dominant Team Penske, and many are dissatisfied with the series' trajectory.

Stagnant regulations, stagnant TV ratings, and stagnant investments. Opportunities to bring Indycar abroad have failed to materialize, Honda is considering leaving and the premier Chevy team - whose engines are made by Ilmor, which Roger Penske also owns! - just got caught cheating. No wonder Zak Brown from McLaren and Michael Andretti from Andretti Global have been his most vocal critics, especially with regards to this scandal.

Michael was calling for Penske to sell the series before all this, now? Well, it's gotten so bad that there was a behind closed doors team owners meeting during this last Indycar race at Barber Motorsports Park.

Forty years ago, a cheating scandal was all the excuse the turbo teams needed to turn against Tyrrell, now, a cheating scandal has only strengthened the battle between Team Penske and the other Indycar teams.

The only difference, I suppose, is that Tyrrell was a minnow, and Penske is the big fish in the pond.

That team meeting at Barber? A day after that, Scott McLaughlin and Will Power crossed the line one-two in a dominant victory for Team Penske.

Tyrrell, meanwhile, were a shell of their former shelves after 1984, and would never win another race.

Next on this miniseries on cheating, we get to the wacky days of old timey NASCAR, particularly the infamous Smokey Yunick.

“The Z4”

2019 BMW Z4 Roadster 🇩🇪

What's not to like about a rear-wheel-drive roadster? Not much when you are running down the road with the wind in your hair and around 380 turbo driven horsepower from the ever-loving BMW I6 making mincemeat of everything in your wake. It's the return of the Z4 that disappeared from the BMW lineup in 2016 and Bimmer lovers must say "welcome back." When you consider the form and function of this car that aims to compete with the likes of the Porsche Boxster, it's just one more reason to appreciate German engineering. In an era dominated by the SUV, putting the top down and letting the tail get loose gives us all one more reason to love a true sports car.

Available exclusively for “No Limits” and “All Inclusive” tiers this July. Since August 1’st. Available for All Inclusive tier only.

Model with HQ interior, open/close doors, trunk and functional light.

I want you to love the wind, the SSR/EX-C revolution!!

``At 360km/h, the powerful brake system that can handle the 600 horsepower that reaches 360km/h, makes the body of the Group C tremble and applies full braking, and throws a scorching light on the famous Le Mans...'' Long Distance From an early stage, the project staff of the Speedster Racing Team, who continued to compete with the BMW-M1, began researching ways to shift the burden of cooling brakes and hub bearings to the wheels, and continued to conduct numerous tests in each actual race. We developed a new concept cooling cone for the Skyline Turbo C, which is driven by the racing expert Masahiro Hasemi, and confirmed its great effectiveness in actual battles. It not only cools the hands, but also has the great effect of banishing the heat generated by the turbo engine and backfire from the side of the body. In recent years, recent high-performance engines such as DOHC, intercooler turbos, and V-type twin cam turbos have dramatically improved their power performance, and high-performance tires, which are becoming flatter to 60 and 50 tires, have further improved grip and wet characteristics. High-speed cruising is becoming more and more exciting, and with that comes the need to remember the brakes.The higher the output, the more severe conditions are required for braking effectiveness. The amount of heat generated during braking reaches over 400℃. If a fade phenomenon occurs, the secondary motion effect will be significantly reduced and the brake pads will be seriously damaged.・・・・・・・・・As the name EXHAUST COOLING suggests, EX-C exhausts heat during braking to the outside, constantly cooling the brake group and hub system while driving, alleviating stress from heat all at once. solved. EX-CHEXCELLENT COVER, elegance and excellence above all else, the number of fins, the length of the fins, and the centrifugal fin type that suits the street needs produce men's legs.

🇬🇧 Embark on a journey through the captivating history of the MG F, a beloved roadster that epitomizes British motoring heritage and sports car excitement!

🚘 The MG F, unveiled in 1995, heralded a resurgence of the iconic MG brand under Rover Group (formerly British Leyland). This mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive, two-seater convertible roadster encapsulated the essence of classic British sports cars while embracing contemporary design and engineering.

🏭 The MG F was the first new model crafted exclusively as an MG since the MGB, which was produced from 1962 to 1980. Throughout the 1980s, the marque was used to signify performance models under the parentage of Austin Rover Group, briefly reappearing on the MG RV8—a limited edition revival of the MG MGB sold between 1993 and 1995.

📑 The MG F was conceived during Rover Group's ownership by British Aerospace and launched after the company was acquired by German car manufacturer BMW in 1995. BMW later disassembled Rover Group in 2000, divesting the Rover and MG passenger car businesses to a management buy-out that formed the independent MG Rover business.

🛞 Beneath its sleek exterior, the MG F boasted cutting-edge technology for its era. Notably, it featured Hydragas suspension, derived from the Mini, which struck a balance between sporty handling and ride comfort, enhancing the MG F's nimble and responsive driving dynamics.

⚙️ The MG F was propelled by a range of spirited engines, including a 1.8-liter inline-four with variants offering up to 158 horsepower. Coupled with a lightweight chassis, the MG F delivered exhilarating performance, making it a delight to drive on twisty roads and expansive highways.

🏁 Swiftly embraced by enthusiasts, the MG F charmed with its sleek lines, pop-up headlights, and distinctive rear glass panel—a timeless aesthetic that continues to captivate today.

💡 Over time, the MG F underwent several updates and transformations, culminating in the debut of the MG TF in 2002, which carried forward the F's legacy with refinements and enhancements.

💔 MG Rover entered administration in 2005, halting production of the MG TF model. The remnants of MG Rover were acquired by Nanjing Automobile, and production of the MG TF resumed under the Nanjing-owned MG Motor in 2007. Despite its dated design, the model struggled to find commercial success and ceased production for a final time in 2011.

🌟 Despite the eventual discontinuation of the MG F and TF, these roadsters endure as cherished classics, embodying the essence of British motoring. Their affordability, engaging driving dynamics, and distinctive design secure their place in automotive history as iconic representatives of the MG brand.

Once again, I am tested by my circumstances. The local animal shelter was looking for someone to drive some dogs to their various appointments. That responsibility fell to me, a drivers-license-having individual with a community service requirement with an “exponent” symbol in it in Microsoft Excel, to truck them there. Nobody else wanted to do it, possibly because some of the dogs have what medical experts are calling “the terror shits.”

Naturally, I couldn’t do this in my own car. Not only is the Volare incapable of holding any passengers due to the structural rust issues, but I like to keep the car clean. That’s why there’s the big holes in the floor: any dropped candy wrappers, stray strands of hair, or spilled coffees will just run out when I lift the floor mat on the expressway. No: the animal shelter was very insistent that what I would receive is a 2005 Chevy Express van, white-on-white.

This van was, well, a van. For some reason, everyone I met was apologizing to me about “how old” it was, and how they had “no money” in the budget with which to upgrade it. I didn’t have the heart to tell them that it was several decades newer than anything I’d ever operated, and I was a little bit intimidated by driving something that could go forward and backward, without having to turn the engine off and push it a little bit first.

Still, after a few minutes on the road, I immediately saw what they meant. It didn’t have any soul, this new automobile, being enormously competent at virtually every task. It didn’t shake violently on the highway, all the doors stayed closed, and it could go around corners without the windshield falling out. Soon, I was going an integer multiple of the posted speed limit, still feeling it was too slow because the sensation of danger was no longer prickling its way up my spine. I was practically falling asleep, and when I arrived at the vet’s office an hour away nearly 45 minutes ahead of schedule, I decided something had to be done for the safety of my canine charges.

While the dogs were in the shop, getting their tires rotated, I decided to do a little bit of work on my own. I had been stuck behind a slow-moving BMW SUV on the off-ramp. It was now parked outside a realtor’s office, taunting me with its copious reserve of compressed air and torque. I decided that if they weren’t gonna use their turbocharger, then I should rightfully be entitled to it. After all, it’s for the public good: who would deny these dogs an efficient, comfortable ride? Using the BMW’s toolkit and a piece of parking lot rebar as a lever, I soon had the turbocharger worked off of the engine, dropped out the bottom, and swaged into the van’s induction system. To test it out, I jumped in and pinned the throttle a few times, hearing the delightful whoosh of at least a hundred more horsepower. Yeah. This would do nicely.

All I’m legally allowed to tell you about what happened next is two things. One, the van really was less boring after all this work. The little V8 sang with the joys of forced induction, and the tires smoked well through however many gears this magic future transmission had in it. Two, it was a good thing I was going to the dog groomer’s next, because none of these animals were in a presentable shape. It turns out dogs afflicted with the terror-shits don’t like to pull a deep thirteen-second quarter mile, which is definitely something they should have told me before they gave me the keys.

Not every day of volunteering is going to be perfect. Next time I go back, I think I’ll cut a hole in the floor instead. At least that will make the cleanup easier.
