BMW Releases Teaser Video Of New 3-Series

tonks — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 17:14:16 +0000

When it comes to new models and concepts we are always ready for anything that is thrown our way. That is why we jumped at the chance to get a better look at BMW’s newest 3-series line-up. BMW Performance has been hard at work improving on the new model and making it worth of our high standards.

As much as we love to get our hands on the latest model it first has to pass our inspection. Unfortunately we do not have all of the specs or pictures. BMW is only give us a sneak peek into what we can expect through a YouTube video. It is something that many automakers have begun to do in order to inflict torture on all of us enthusiasts in the world.

But at the same time we love the excitement of getting little bits and pieces of the big picture before it is revealed in all its glory (we hope). From this video you can make out a few details. You can see the BMW Performance badge, plastic molding that helps keep it close to the ground, and carbon fiber side mirrors.

If all goes as planned this will be the only teaser we need before it is fully revealed to us sometime during this month. We will make sure to get all of the pictures and specs when it is. But for now enjoy the video!

Neiman Marcus To Sell 2009 BMW Limited Edition 7-Series

tonks — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 15:35:56 +0000

Starting October 7th Neiman Marcus will be selling the 2009 BMW 7-Series. Those who want to get their hands on one of the early models will have to pay a steep price of $160,000. Only 31 units of the Neiman Marcus Limited Edition cars will be available.

BMW has based the sedan on the 750Li. The price is obviously higher than what we would expect the base price will be for the 7-Series. However, buyers are sure to get more then just the limited edition model with their purchase. They will also receive a trip to Europe to pick up their new model directly from Munich where the BMW headquarters are located.

They will then be given a tour of France in their new car. When the trip is over BMW will be shipping the car back to the States. Each model will customized by BMW Individual and will be painted in a special Diopside black metallic color. The interior is stitched in Champagne Merino leather and has been accented with wood and Piano Black inserts. It’s going to be a great Christmas for these lucky owners.

Cool Cars That Attract Your Soul Mate

M.West — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 21:18:30 +0000

O.K. lets be serious about what we are looking for when we are looking for that next special some one. I know this may seem shallow but, you really should consider your ride when it comes to dating. I know what you’re thinking for most people the first thing you look at when you meet some one probably isn’t their car.

It comes up though, even if you don’t mean for it to and sometimes there are a lot of things you can tell about a person by looking at there car. In fact many people are able to determine the income level and personality of someone just by watching what they drive.

If you are an adventurous person and a danger seeker then you should consider the two Hummer H2 and the Toyota FJ Cruiser. The Hummer H2 is used for those who love to show off their ride to everyone on and off the road. It also shows that they have a higher level of income. The Toyota FJ Cruiser has tomboyish flare and is perfect for the guys looking for the perfect girl.

If your one that’s ready to slow it down and settle down then you should cozy into a Lexus RX 400h or a Toyota Prius. The Lexus RX 400h is the only luxury SUV that’s a hybrid. The Toyota Prius is probably not something you want to be seen running around town in if you’re a guy but it is quite cute for girls and great for the up and coming super moms that will be driving her family all over town thanks to its excellent gas mileage.

For the person looking to do the opposite and be on the wild side of life it is time to speed around in a Chevrolet Corvette or a BMW Z4. The Chevrolet Corvette is a Ferrari like car and is the way to go if your looking to be seen by the opposite sex.

For the classier person try an Aston Martin DB9 or maybe the Mercedes-Benz SL. The Aston Martin DB9 and the Mercedes-Benz SL are beacons of class with their luxurious and exotic aura. They show off intelligence, wealth, and refinement.

BMW Puts A Stop To Production Of E92 M3 CSL

tonks — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 21:48:24 +0000

We were disappointed to discover that BMW will not be delaying the production of the E92 M3 CSL – but will in fact be canceling it all together. We were expecting to see the final products of the car arrive in the summer of 2009. BMW had us all excited with talks of it being sharper and more light-weight when compared to the E92 M3 version.

It was also supposed to receive an upgrade in power between 450bhp and 470 bhp with a corresponding drop in weight, down by 100kg thanks to wider use of flyweight materials. Cup tires, new engine breathing and a carbonfibre airbox were due to complete the makeover.

BMW cancelled the car so that they can better focus their attention and resources on the faster versions of the X-badged crossovers. Ludwig Willisch, the new M Division boss, said: “Based on current numbers, there is most likely insufficient demand for the M3 CSL.”

BMW Turns Focus From Supercars To Hybrids

tonks — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 22:21:29 +0000

When we saw the BMW M1 Hommage concept we immediately began to ask when we were going to get a chance to see the production version. However, we might not get a chance to see it – at least not for a very long time.

A board member from BMW stated that they have no plans to produce a supercar that will be able to compete with the new Audi R8. They have decided to focus all of their attention and resources on green technologies.

While Audi continues to produce more powerful and more desirable versions of the R8, Mercedes prepares entirely new supercars and Porsche continues to do what Porsche has always done, the company that once hailed itself as the producers of the “Ultimate Driving Machine” is more concerned with hybrids than sportscars.

BMW Recalls 20,000 Due To Faulty Airbag

tonks — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 20:05:41 +0000

BMW 335d Caught Testing In Death Valley, CA

tonks — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:53:57 +0000

Spies managed to catch pictures of the 2009 BMW 335d testing in Death Valley, California. It had surprisingly little to no camouflage giving us a great view of what the exterior of the car looks like.

The 335d was first announced during the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. It is a diesel variant of the BMW 3-Series that is equipped with a 3.0 liter twin turbo inline-6 engine. It has the ability to push out 265 horsepower and 425 pound-feet of torque at 1,750 rpm.

The 335d will sport mildly revised bodywork to go along with its oil-burning engine. The body refresh will occur across the entire 3 Series line, with all 2009 3 Series models expected to receive revised front and rear fascias and modestly upgraded interiors.

Rendering Of Unusual M1 Homage/Dodge Challenger Concept

tonks — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 18:26:09 +0000

None of us would consider combining the looks and features from BMW and Dodge. It seems odd to us. At least until we saw this rendering by a Russian illustrator named Remio.

This illustrator is very skilled and has managed to combine the BMW m1 Homage and the Dodge Challenger. While some rendered speculation can prove to be quite close to the mark when the subject goes into production, we’ll have to file this one squarely in the “never gonna happen” folder. It’s a pity too because it is a well designed car.
