2008 BMW M3 Coupe
2007-04-15 16:08:00
2008 BMW M3 Coupe The history of M3 well is known. The half-full terror of the of-size debuted here in 1987 with inferior of a four cylinders its chapel and a massive wing in its trunk, serving as E30 3 series-derived the special homologation to compete with of car that traveled German. It had decklid only, later crystal, defenses, and, well, as soon as mainly. That first M3 dominated to compete with series around the globe, and along with its E36- six-cylinder and the successors of E46-based, division of M of BMW given return in the place to go for the last operation of the floor of the hall samples. In short, the M3 became an icon.The latest M3 is powered for the first time by a V-8, a 4.0-liter unit derived from the 5.0-liter V-10 found in the M5 supersedan as well as the M6 coupe and convertible. The 90-degree eight-holer will make 414 horsepower at 8300 rpm—the redline is only 100 rpm farther up the tach, so this thing is gonna wail—and 295 pound-feet of torque at 3900 rpm.BMW

2006 BMW Z4 Roadster For the first time since it was introduced for 2003, BMW has bought up to date his to roadster hard-sharpened of the two-seat, the Z4. Between cambios' to line 06 they are the twisted tiny amounts small of the suspension to improve stroll and the direction, a manual box of gears of the six-speed that is standard through the line (old 2.5i models had five gears), and one automatic six-speed with trowel-changes of position available manumatic like option $1275. Both models now have the motor in line-six of 3,0 liters that the energies sedánes of 3 series. With the new motor - its block is a compound of aluminum and magnesium - new come names. The base 2.5i now is 3.0i and uses the configuration of the motor 325i, making 215 horsepowers, 31 more than 2.5i salient in line-six. Old 3.0i becomes 3.0si.

2007 BMW 335i Coupe
2007-03-31 11:46:00
2007 BMW 335i Coupe As far as the U.S. car market goes, BMW isn’t just late to the turbo party — it missed the first round of soirées entirely. While its other markets got a turbocharged 2002 model back in the 1970s, a turbo 7-series in the 1980s, and a steady stream of turbo-diesel engines, Americans got the forgettable diesel-burning, 114-hp 524td. Twenty winters have passed since that turbo-diesel wallflower decorated showrooms, and all the while, BMW preached the gospel of high-revving, naturally aspirated, high-output engines. While Audi and Mercedes-Benz forced air into their engines to produce stupefying horsepower and torque figures, BMW kept increasing power by upping displacement and producing engines with extraordinary redlines.So what’s this twin-turbo version of BMW’s familiar 3.0-liter inline-six doing under the hood of this 2007 3-series coupe? For starters, it’s making 45 more horses and 80 more pound-feet of torque than last year’s naturally aspirated 330i


2007 BMW X5
2007-03-27 13:22:00
2007 BMW X5It’s hard to believe the BMW X5 has been around for seven years. Maybe that just shows how fresh the styling was, and how well BMW rose to the challenge of producing a fun-to-drive SUV. However, even good designs have to be replaced in the car business, and we think the 2007 X5 is a nearly perfect evolution. In fact, when writers attending the introduction in South Carolina were picked up in 2007 X5s at the airport, it took a little time for it to register. The new vehicle is clearly an X5, yet the family resemblance to the recent X3 is undeniable. But there’s a lot new here. The X5 is longer, wider, and considerably stronger. There’s now space enough for an optional kid-size third row in a vehicle that is 7.4 inches longer, but the visual effect from the curb is of a truck that’s not much larger than it was. Two engines are available: the magnesium-and-aluminum 3.0-liter inline-six we know from the 330i sedan and a carry-over 4.8-liter V-8 that was the previous mo


2007 BMW Alpina B7
2007-03-26 08:45:00
2007 BMW Alpina B7BMW doesn’t make an M version of the 7-series, but if it did, such a car would probably look at lot like the Alpina B7. And since Alpina-tuned BMWs still carry the factory warranty, the B7 is a lot like any other BMW on the showroom floor. There are a few differences from the standard 7-series, like the 21-inch wheels and the aero kit, but the B7’s looks are not just for show. Under the hood is BMW’s familiar 4.4-liter V-8 with a centrifugal supercharger attached to bump the output to 500 horsepower over the standard 360 hp in the 750i’s 4.8-liter V-8. Torque is 516 pound-feet at 4250 rpm, a number that’s better than the 6.0-liter V-12 found in the 760Li. BMW claims a 0-to-60-mph time of 4.8 seconds for the B7, and that sounds conservative since we hit 60 mph in 4.9 seconds in a 760i we tested. With a price of $115,695, the B7 is $40,000 more than a 750i, but $6,400 less than the long-wheelbase 760Li V-12. If that sounds like a relative bargain to you, hurr


2008 BMW M3 Concept
2007-03-24 18:46:00
2008 BMW M3 Concept The BMW M3 has been on car nuts’ short wish list since the first-generation M3 debuted in 1988. Over the course of three generations, the M3 grew from that four-cylinder glorified go-kart into a stunningly capable GT car. But the formula remained constant: Combine the relatively small, compact 3-series body with a race-derived engine and maintain class-leading handling. The fourth-generation M3, which debuted at the 2007 Geneva auto show, doesn’t stray from the proven formula. Unlike the second- and third-generation M3s, which had inline-sixes, the 2008 BMW M3 will have a high-revving, naturally aspirated V-8. The 4.0-liter engine (3999cc) is based on the 5.0-liter V-10 from the current M5, but minus two cylinders (and the corresponding liter of displacement). With double-VANOS variable valve timing, an individual throttle body for each cylinder, a 12.0:1 compression ratio, and a shrieking 8300-rpm redline, the all-aluminum engine produces 414 hp at 8300 rpm and

BMW Concept CSKnown officially like the CS of the concept of BMW, the four-seat, sedán of four doors it demonstrates that BMW wishes to obtain in the high-style, the segment under-sent-roofline with a sling of the luxury-sedán dominated at the moment by Mercedes-Benz CLS. In addition, the other elements of the design are clear and an exit good-watching of the present harvest of the Bangle Bimmers. In silhouette, the design has elements of the Aston Martin Rapide, but we would have to assume that a version of the production of the concept would cost far less than the $180,000 considered that will cost to release a Rapide de Aston Martin.Rough the size of 7 series and to cross 200,8 inches in length, the concept is 2,4 inches longer than a regular-distance between axes 750i and 3,1 inches shorter than the 750Li-or 7,8 inches longer than a CLS.

2007 BMW M6
2007-06-22 03:40:00
2007 BMW M6BMW hasn’t had it too easy from us newly. The Bavarian masters of motoring arts once had an easy ticket to a 1st-p1st finis in well-nigh every comparo they entered. But then came iDrive, then eruptive guiding, and then everyone’s front-runner “whipping tech,” the successive hand-operated gearbox. You could indicate that those technologies, in many cases, created as many problems as they solved, at smallest from the purist’s luff of view. A brighter spot came in the form of the 2006 BMW M6 coupe, a 6-series coupe made even more salivating with zoomier styling, a sexy carbon-fiber roof, and one of the most tasteful engines on God’s greenish earth: a race-bred, mettle-pmettle, high-revving 5.0-liter V-10 producing an dumfounding 500 h.p. at 7750 rpm and 383 hammering-fhammering of torsion at 6100 rpm. So fecund is the locomotive that not even the integral alphabet’s meriting of techno-acronyms could keep the fun away. Then came the new transformable variant—vari

2006 bmw 325i2006 bmw 325i review«A panther in the world of cars» - in my opinion, such definition is better approaches a German coupe of mark BMW with an index 325i. Having looked at this representative of the third series, it is simple to guess, whence such associations: a streamline body, slanting "eyes" of headlights - all roundish and intense form the three as though shows the readiness for a jump.The coupe is a car which, as a rule, appreciate sports character and possibility comfortably to spend time in road. Also has put at all in number of doors - the coupe possesses more rigid body in comparison with a sedan and, as a rule, a smaller road gleam that allows the car to show more effective dynamic characteristics. At least, these qualities to us precisely managed to be estimated in 325th BMW, participating in test drive. However advantages BMW everyone praises almost the first, let's for a change try find in the car lacks!Here and the first find: inconvenient landing for rear

2008 BMW 1-Series Convertible
2007-10-01 09:33:00
For those whose definition of pure driving pleasure includes wind in the face and sunshine above, the new BMW 1 Series Convertible follows the tradition established by the iconic BMW 2002 sport sedan. The essence of such driving purity - a responsive six-cylinder engine positioned within a rear-drive chassis to provide balanced, sporty dynamics - is at the heart of this compact four-place convertible. The 128i Convertible, which joins the new 1 Series Coupe going on sale in the spring of 2008, will be powered by BMW’s 3.0-liter, 230 horsepower inline six-cylinder engine generating 200 lb-ft of torque. Like its fixed-roof stablemate, the 128i Convertible will feature Valvetronic valvetrain management and aluminum/magnesium cylinder block construction-core elements of BMW’s EfficientDynamics. The 135i Convertible, on sale later in 2008, features BMW’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine producing 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque from as low as 1,

BMW’s Quandt family to reveal Nazi-era activities
2007-10-10 10:52:00
The Quandt family, whose members own large amounts of BMW stock, is seeking to clear the air around the family name. Upset by some of the accusations raised against the family, in part by a recent German TV documentary alleging wartime abuses of former prisoners at a Quandt-owned battery plant, the family announced it will launch an investigation into its own past.Herbert Quandt is considered by many to be the saviour of BMW. In 1959, he quietly purchased nearly 50% of the then-troubled company’s stock to prevent a take-over by Daimler-Benz. Shortly thereafter, under Herbert’s guidance, BMW launched the 1500, the first modern BMW. The rest, as they say, is history. The Quandt family is notoriously private, and has remained silent on the issue of Nazi ties for decades, BBC reports. However, the Quandts recently announced a research project to determine exactly what involvement the family’s factories had with Nazi-sourced prison labor. The factory that was the subject of the German
