Cars: BMW


BMW 7 Series 2009

BMW gives us a glimpse of the new 2009 BMW 7 Series. And I must say this fifth generation of the 7 Series is outstanding. If you want speed, style, and modern technology rolled in one vehicle, the 2009 BMW 7 Series fits the bill. There are two models that will be shipped to the U.S. next year – the 750i and the 750iL. The latter has longer wheelbase, but for their internals, both have similar specifications. The 2009 BMW 7 Series runs on a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine. This engine type is capable of generating 400 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque.

To make this luxury sedan’s performance superb, BMW incorporated the EfficientDynamics program with the Brake Energy Regeneration that is used for charging the battery through engine overrun. Once you drive this car, you’d hardly feel the bumps on the road because the suspension contains double wishbones with electro-hydraulic anti-roll bars. Those are put in place of the MacPherson strut arrangement.

BMW 135i Cabriolet

We all know that BMW is one of the esteemed automobile makers in the market these days. So, if you want to own a vehicle of this brand, here’s the 2008 BMW 135i. This is a rear-wheel drive Cabriolet that is powered by a twin-turbo, 300-hp, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine. This engine type is paired with the six-speed manual transmission or six-speed automatic transmission that comes with a steering wheel paddle shifting. Does it appeal to you? Well, I sure hope it does!

BMW Light Visionary Model

BMW unveils a new vehicle that will definitely catch your interest. The new Light Visionary Model is a concept car that can only be described as radical. BMW developed this car using the GINA principle or Geometry and Functions In “N” Adaptions. Except for the 8-cylinder powertrain package, everything else about the Visionary Model is all new. You’ll especially be awed by its physical appearance. I think this is the exact match if you are looking for a batman vehicle. Yes, it is really that sleek. What makes it so are the four large pieces of flexible material that stretch and contract at a flick of a switch. For its maximum function, the material is waterproof and temperature-resistant.

BMW X6

BMW is one of the car manufacturing names that will not allow themselves to be left behind when it comes to new automobile masterpieces. BMW also played well at the recently held Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany. Their new baby is the BMW X6, which was developed under the idea of “Sports Activity Coupe”. Most of its design is actually based on its predecessor, the X5. This new car is intended for those who want to enjoy dynamic driving in a stylish casing. The most noticeable feature of this vehicle is the low-clung roof, but with the smoothly flowing lines that is characteristic to a coupe. Persons of some height will have o watch their heads getting into this vehicle. Chris Bangle creates this design.

Dreaming of having your own car? Well why not stretch your dream a bit further – to own a car company! Swedish automaker Volvo is in the market now. Profit loss of its mother company Ford Motor Co. has brought about this move. If you don’t have the cash for it, BMW on the other hand will not pass up the chance to obtain this vehicle brand. Yup, BMW immediately sniffed the scent of the possible sell up. Reports also say that BMW went for informal talks regarding their intention to purchase Volvo.

New BMW M3 Coupe

The BMW M3 coupe 2008 was launched earlier on this year. Just like other BMW models the M3 coupe is one handsome car that can pump up 420hp with 295 lb-ft of torque for every 3900-rpm and 8400 maximum engine speed. It features an all new aluminum suspension and 6-speed manual transmission. This car is actually the fourth generation of BMW M3s and of course this new edition is able to prove even better performance due to its unique design and integrated technology. This is just for additional information; a coupe is a vehicle type that can seat up to four passengers but with only 2 doors.

BMW M6 Convertible

BMW Group Middle East has announced record sales in the GCC countries with 11,250 units, the highest ever volume achieved in the Gulf region. The boost in sales was led by AGMC’s double digit growth, Dubai and Northern Emirates’ exclusive importer for BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce, with a 12 per cent sales increase achieving 3,156 units in comparison to last year’s 2,830.
