The BMW 1 Series Three Door: One of Its Kind

Tuesday, June 1, 2010 by Anonymous

The BMW 1 Series three door was released quite a while ago, but it definitely bears a mention at this late date. Because, I mean, come on — it is a three door. Maybe I am just a mega huge dork, but in all of my dealings with BMW, I cannot quite recall ever seeing one quite like this.

A lot of the features are pretty similar to the entry version of the 1 Series model, but the graphics on the side cut line are different, as is the rear bumper, giving it a look that is a bit more planted. The kidney grill is bigger as well, improving the car’s airflow for what is considered the most economical engine ever produced by BMW.

by Anonymous

Oh BMW, I have been waiting for you to come out with something better than the X6 M. I have been waiting for you to replace that car with something better and faster and yes, you have answered my prayers with the brand new G-Power Typhoon X6 M. The G-Power Typhoon X6 M is one BMW that does not look like it belongs in the BMW family but I can tell you that it does belong there.

This beautiful car is not only a car that is going to put the X6 M to shame, but it is also one car that was built with 15% increased airflow to the intercoolers. That means that the G-Power Typhoon X6 M can get up to 500 Torque and honestly … it is a car that has a ton of power behind it.

For example, you can get up to 62 miles per hour in just four and a half seconds! That is absolutely insane people!

BMW’s concept car ActiveHybrid 5 this week at Geneva

Monday, May 31, 2010 by Anonymous

BMW is set to give the world a preview of their gasoline-electric concept hybrid this week at the Geneva Motor Show. The luxury carmaker will showcase the ActiveHybrid 5 Concept side by side with the 6-cylinder and V8 models.

The concept car ActiveHybrid 5 has under its hood a sophisticated hybrid setup that involves a 6-cylinder gasoline direct injected and twin turbocharged engine paired with a lithium ion battery dependent electric motor.

The electric motor of this green car registers 54 horsepower and is linked to the gasoline engine via a special clutch. When the driver hits the brakes or when the car is coasting, the electric motor will be activated as a generator to charge the batteries.

The hybrid system is similar to the setup of the ActiveHybrid 7 where the electric motor is paired with a V8. According to BMW designers, the technology allows one to save about 10% of fuel and it also permits all-electric driving in the city streets. It also makes use of a stop-start technology to save more fuel. Weather control is also controlled by the battery and does not depend on the engine.

BWM also linked the navigation system with the software that controls the consumption of energy of the motor, battery, and the engine. The car may for example depend on the battery more when cruising down a downhill route and the system is designed to recharged it as it passes on that section of the road.

BMW has not released any figures about fuel economy or power outputs but expect for updates as soon as we hear about them.

2011 BMW 1-Series – Rendered

by Anonymous

When you are talking about BMW – you have to remember the brand new 2011 BMW 1-Series right? This is a car that not only do I absolutely love but it is actually one of those particular cars that seems to stick out in your head. This car has been the topic of many conversations, as it has been spotted being driven around Germany as early as last year.

However, the 2011 BMW 1-Series is definitely one of the larger BMW cars that I have seen and its engine is certainly something that I did not expect to find. It is going to have between a 1.4 to 3.0 liter turbo engine.

The point? The 2011 BMW 1-Series is going to rock and it is going to kick butt as soon as it comes out.

BMW’s new 2.0-liter Turbocharged V4 Engine is Coming to US Market

by Anonymous

It’s old news that the BMW 2.0-liter turbocharged V4 engine is in the works and on its way route to the U.S. market. But then, the Bavarian car company has made its official announcement about its arrival. BMW has recently issued an official statement confirming that the first batch of BMW units that carry the said 2.0-lited turbocharged V4 engine will roll into the US market some time during the latter part of the year.

The turbocharged BMW engine was first presented attached to the X1 compact crossover and is said to replace the brand’s trademark 3.0-liter v6 engine. The carmaker’s American arm has yet to release the actual models that would carry the new 2.0-liter turbocharged V4 engine. However, its European arm has already released the BMW’s 5-Series Range and the Z4 coupe-roadster are included in their lists.

The trademark BMW 3.0-liter V6 engines are attached to the following models: the Z4 sDrive30i with 255HP, the 528i Sedan with 240HP, the X3 xDrive28i with 240HP, the 128i Coupe and Convertible with 230HP, and all the versions of the 328i xDrive with 230HP. It is speculated the same roster of BMW models will also carry the new 2.0-liter turbocharged V4 engine.

The new engine comes with both the power of “high-pressure / direct-injection” system and the VALVETRONIC intake mechanism. The turbocharged X1 model has 240 horsepower and 5,000 rpm with a maximum torque of 260 lb-ft. BMW claims that the new turbocharged V4 engine is 16% better when it comes to fuel efficiency.
