Wiesmann Roadster MF5




Wiesmann Roadster MF5 with the new and improved BMW V8 engine has this imposing appearance thanks to the work of a German car wrapping company, SchwabenFolia. Their crew has managed to do a remarkable job on the exterior of the MF5 that justifies its name ‘Black Bat’.

A new special edition for China, BMW M3 Matte Edition



While some automakers roll out special editions around the entire globe, the BMW Group has of late opted to create individual specials for specific markets. Witness, as examples, the Trusardi edition 5GT (exclusive to Italy), the Z4 Silver Top edition (Japan), the M3 Pure edition (Australia) and the M3 Frozen Gray edition (United States). BMW's subsidiaries Mini and Rolls-Royce have followed the same formula with the Mini Cooper Mat Edition (France) and Yas Eagle edition Phantom (Abu Dhabi), and now BMW has announced a new special edition M3 exclusive to China.

The M3 Matte Edition packs the same V8 engine and everything else as the standard model, but is distinguished by its special matte black paint scheme, offset by black chrome trim and high-gloss 19-inch alloy wheels. Inside there's carbon fiber and red trim, but you'll have to live in China and act fast to get your hands on one.
