Straight-Six-Powered BMW M350 Promises 440 HP and a Drift Mode: TDS

BMW has released more powertrain details for the new range-topping M350 xDrive, and the figures point to a performance-focused sedan without the traditional “i” branding. The model is slated to deliver 443 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque from BMW’s latest B58 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six, and it will include a drift mode called “Drift Moment.” The short news roundup also reports Stellantis expanding an earlier recall tied to rear coil springs on the Jeep Grand Cherokee to just under 330,000 vehicles from 2021-2023. Other items include a return of the Audi A2 as a 400-mile EV for about $45,000 and Polestar’s teaser for the Formula 2030 concept.
