On this episode of Head 2 Head, Motor Trend’s Mike Febbo pits two tuner cars against each other. In one corner, the BMW 335i loaded with an BMW M Performance kit and aftermarket options. In the opposing corner, the Cadillac ATS tuned by D3. Because both cars are modified, Mike puts them on the dyno at european auto source. The contenders then head out for dynamic testing and real-world driving impressions. Do the combined forces of Cadillac and D3 have what it takes to out-run the German powerhouse?

On this episode of The J-Turn, Jessi Lang takes you behind the scenes of Motor Trend’s 2013 Best Driver’s Car Powered by Mobil 1 (https://www.youtube.com/user/OfficialMobil1) to show you all of the preparation this event demands and the many challenges it poses. Serving as a preview of the full week of BDC programming that begins airing August 19th, this episode gives you a glimpse of the contenders— like the Aston Martin Vanquish, the Audi R8, the BMW M6, the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Black Series, the Jaguar F-Type, the SRT Viper, and the Nissan GT-R Track Edition— and shows you the madness that inevitably ensues each year.

Beginning on California’s canyon roads, the week-long excursion starts with a real-world driving portion, in which Motor Trend’s editors put each car through its paces from sunrise till sunset. Then, it’s on to the historic track at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, where pro driver Randy Pobst lays down lap times and pushes each vehicle to its limits. See what happens in between the laps and find out how the various members of the crew cope with this exhausting week.

2014 BMW 435i: Is 4 the New 3? – Ignition Ep. 79

On this episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago goes to Portugal to test the new BMW 435i. The replacement for the 3 Series coupe, the 4 Series is wider and much lower than the sedan – in fact, it has the lowest center of gravity of any BMW currently on sale. BMW claims it’s substantiated the controversial name change by differentiating the 4’s styling and driving dynamics from the 3. We find out if that’s the case, and more, with a drive through the beautiful seaside roads in Portugal and a lapping session at the iconic former F1 circuit, Estoril.
