BMW X3 M50 vs Audi SQ5 vs AMG GLC 43 // DRAG RACE & Review [Throttle House]
The 2025 BMW X3 M50 ($75,900 CAD, $64,700 USD starting), the 2025 Audi SQ5 ($78,700 CAD, $64,800 USD starting) and the 2025 AMG GLC 43 ($82,500 CAD, $72,900 USD starting) have lined up for a drag race. Both the X3 M50 and the SQ5 are all-new for this year, with the Audi packing a bigger punch than before and rocking a brand new platform. The BMW has seen a major styling makeover inside and out and has updated some fun bits like the powertrain. And the AMG may have the smallest engine with just 4 cylinders, but it has the most horsepower at a whopping 416. Who do you think will win? Thomas and James are excited to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. |

BMW Skytop Spotted on Road For First Time
Just 50 examples of the BMW M8-based Skytop are expected to hit the road, priced at over £400,000 each.
The BMW Skytop is officially going into production, albeit for a limited series, and the first undisguised car has already been spotted on the road before deliveries begin next year. Based on the V8-powered M8, the open-top model will be built in a run of 50 units, just like the reborn 3.0 CSL BMW unveiled in 2022. And yes, they’re already sold out.
The Skytop is powered by the familiar 617bhp 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that sees action in the M8 on which its based, sending power to all four wheels via xDrive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Skytop is a hair slower than the M8 to 62mph, making the dash in a claimed 3.3sec.
The Skytop is a celebration of BMW’s history of roadsters, from the iconic 507 Roadster to the Z8. It’s these that are referenced the most heavily in the Skytop’s design, with the sharknose arrow shape of the bonnet a nod to the former and that tapering tail referencing the 2000s BMW roadster. As is clear from these new images, visual highlights include headlights that have the slimmest profile currently available in the industry yet contain all the necessary lighting functions within.
Unlike some limited-run open top cars, the Skytop does come with a roof, albeit one that has to be removed manually. The two leather trimmed panels can be stowed in a compartment in the luggage area. That it has a roof at all greatly increases the grand touring credentials of the Skytop, though it’s doubtful many will be making the trans-Continental dash for Villa dEste in 2026.
A distinctive ‘spine’ runs the length of the car from the bonnet to an aluminium bar across the boot lid. Small winglets on the shoulders of the doors replace the door handles, while the finned alloy wheels have something of a 1930s Streamliner about them. The colour, if you’re wondering, is Floating Sundown Silver and is hand-applied to each Skytop.
Inside is a sea of sumptuous brown – and occasionally brogued – leather to match the roof and rollover bar, with crystals elements around the cockpit. That aside, it is familiar to those who’ve spent time in an 8-series. Your musical needs should be adequately met by the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround system.
The car started life as a concept only, debuting at the 2024 Concorso dEleganza Villa dEste. However the strength of the positive response to the car by attendees, and presumably, prospective buyers, inspired BMW to proceed with a limited production run. The more limited these things are, the more expensive they are to produce, so expect the Skytop, with its totally bespoke coachwork, to be at least £400,000. When the concept was revealed last year, the caveat for a production version was that it’d take a year to get ready, so deliveries aren’t likely to begin until early 2026.

BMW Individual Meet – NY
What’s up guys – for a while i was looking to do a individual only meet. I know it’s been attempted before but never 100%. So i finally took on the challenge i personally hate public events as garbage cars come people revving engines and acting a fool it’s everything i avoid. So i personally invited around 80 people and 70 showed up this past weekend. Turn out was amazing

Project Carbon Arrow – My G82 M4 Track Build for Time Attack & Endurance Racing
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my G82 M4 track build, which I’ve named Project Carbon Arrow. The goal for this car is to compete in time attack series and amateur endurance races. The build is focused on maximizing mechanical grip, reliability, and driver safety, while still keeping it raw and engaging. There’s still a lot of work ahead (especially in aero), but here’s where we are right now.
Specs Overview:
- Engine: S58 tuned to ~630hp
- Roll Cage: GT3-spec by Ireco Motorsport
- Seats: RECARO Pro Racer SPG HANS XL
- Harnesses: Sparco 6-point FIA, aluminum 2” PRIME H-9 EVO
- Fire Safety: OMP One Collection fire suppression system + 2kg handheld extinguisher
- Heater: 12V electric (removed OEM HVAC)
- AP Racing / Essex BBK – 372mm front, 365mm rear
- Endless ME22 pads – 25mm front / 16.75mm rear
- Drexler GT4 LSD
- Carbon driveshaft by Krawczyk
- Full SPL control-arm kit
- HR sway bars: 30mm front / 27mm rear
- Moton 3-way adjustable coilovers
- Polyurethane bushings (front LCA & differential)
- HJS Sport FIA cat + custom DP&exhaust
- RaceTCS traction control
- Ravenol coolant&oil
- Castrol SRF brake fluid
- Full carbon–Kevlar kit: hood, roof, front & rear fenders, doors, trunk lid, front bumper
- Wheels(Square): R18x11J
Current Alignment Settings:
- Front: Camber -4° | Toe -0.05° | Caster 7.5°
- Rear: Camber -3° | Toe +0.15°
Weight: 1,435 kg (with 25L fuel)
I still have a lot of plans for aerodynamic improvements (splitter, diffuser, underbody, etc.), and I’ll be updating this thread as things progress.
If anyone here has experience setting up the G82 for track use—especially for endurance racing—I’d really appreciate your input. Alignment tweaks, aero tips, brake cooling ideas—anything that worked for you, please share!
Thanks for reading & looking forward to your feedback!

2028 M3 (G84) Getting ‘New Type’ of Straight-Six Gas Engine
In an interview with Top Gear, BMW Neue Klasse division head, Dr. Mike Reichelt, revealed this about the 2028 M3 G84s gas engine:
“We’re going to make it the best M car ever dynamically”, says the boss of BMW’s Neue Klasse division, Dr. Mike Reichelt. “We’re also going to offer it with a new type of six-cylinder engine, because we understand it may be early for some committed M fans to make the switch.
This will be interesting to see what he means by "new type" exactly.
