2014 BMW M4

-
What It Is: The high-performance version of the BMW 4-series and successor to the M3 coupe and cabriolet. Like the M3s before it, the M4 is designed for serious track- thrashing, yet it offers the comfort and amenities of a premium coupe.

Why It Matters: Stepping into the Sasquatch-sized shoes of the M3 coupe, the M4 needs to repair the M division's heavily dinged reputation.

Platform: Based on the F30 platform, which underpins the 3- and forthcoming 4-series, it incorporates aluminum and carbon fiber to reduce weight. The chassis will be tuned for performance and the body will be reshaped to drive home the point.

Powertrain: A twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline-six with around 420 horsepower. BMW will offer both a six-speed manual and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.

Competition: Audi RS5, Cadillac ATS-V, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG.

What Might Go Wrong: The same guys who tuned the M5 to be a soggy, sorry excuse for an M car may still be on the payroll. Going back to a straight-six is a great move, and the styling of the M4 seems sure to please BMW aficionados. The four-door will continue to be called the M3, so no charging the barricades, please.

Estimated Arrival and Price: The M4 will arrive in 2014, with a price starting around $60,000

Game of Thrones: 'The Old Gods and the New' recap and review

Something that Game of Thrones does very well is choose its scenes wisely, which is more necessary than ever now that there are so many characters to juggle. We only have a little bit of time with each of them, so it’s imperative that the time we spend with them is as revealing as possible, or moves the plot forward in a significant way. This was especially evident last week, where each storyline moved forward not only dramatically, but interestingly. This week’s installment, ‘The Old Gods and the New,’ was a little more laid-back in its approach, which is odd considering that it featured both the sack of Winterfell by Theon, and a major riot in King’s Landing. These are big events that I guess I felt weren’t treated with the gravitas they deserved. But hey, Tyrion slapped Joffrey again, so there’s that. I’m not saying I didn’t like the episode, because there was plenty that I enjoyed. The opening scene, where Bran wakes to Theon seizing Winterfell had a gr
