BMW ConnectedDrive Vision in Geneva: Exciting networked





With an exciting study and other BMW innovations in luggage to travel to Geneva Motor Show (3 to 13 March 2011). The highlight at the booth of Bayern will be without doubt the BMW ConnectedDrive Vision, which gives the brand an outlook on the possibilities of networking in the car.

The concept study is presented as a two-seater roadster inspired visually to the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics of 2009. This is evident from the strong emphasis on the width of a horizontal lamp and flat kidney. A special feature of the exterior of the BMW ConnectedDrive Vision is the door concept. Inspired, it is of the electro-mechanical retractable doors of the BMW Z1 1988th This one is driving, even with open doors possible and allowed. The new Geneva-study is the idea to extend them. Two sliding door elements - one inside, one outside - will disappear when the door opening in the vehicle body and thus allow the entry. While the outer shell moves forward, the inner shell disappears in a counter-movement in the rear of the vehicle. Even the BMW ConnectedDrive Vision is driving with an open outer door, a central aspect.

BMW leads Turbo petrol engine with four cylinders, a - debut in the X1 xDrive28i



While Audi has long been on turbo petrol engine, BMW has not a single program in the current model four-cylinder petrol engine with turbocharger. Now the changes: In the X1 xDrive28i from the spring of 2011 no longer operates the 258-horsepower three-liter six-cylinder, but a turbocharged four-cylinder with 245 horsepower - a further step towards downsizing.

The new engine delivers 245 hp at 5,000 rpm. The maximum torque of 350 Newton meters is 40 meters higher than the Newton six-cylinder. It is also already in place until 1250 at 2,600 rpm. This requires the X1 xDrive28i with the standard six-speed manual 6.1 seconds for the sprint to 100 km / h, with automatic, it is 6.5 seconds. This latter variant just 0.3 seconds faster than the old version of the X1 xDrive28i, which is offered with automatic transmission.

Soon a four-cylinder engine on the BMW Z4

BMW plans to replace the inline 6-cylinder 204 hp entry-level roadster to its downsized by a block of only four cylinders by the end of the year.
Currently consists of four models, all with a straight six engine, the range of the BMW Z4 will soon evolve to accommodate a four-cylinder engine. This operation downisizing, announced on Twitter by our American colleagues of Automobile Magazine, would be to the detriment of the entry-level version sDrive23i, which would thus lose its 6-cylinder 204 horsepower.

The new block should not be less powerful. It will therefore comprise at least 200 horsepower. The operation could take place in the year, perhaps for the Frankfurt Motor Show scheduled for the fall.

As iconic as it is, if confirmed, this decision is not a real surprise, BMW is already on its way of downsizing for many other models. So will the M5 does the V10 to V8, the future will host a series does a 3-cylinder gasoline engine and four cylinders will they be produced in collaboration with PSA.

Detroit 2011: 2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe revs its beating heart



BMW's latest introduction to the U.S. market bowed today at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, and it's a machine that's meant to light the true enthusiast's heart aflutter: the 2012 1 Series M Coupe. We must say, it looks rather striking in the metallic orange hue you see in our live photo gallery below.

Even more importantly, the 340 horsepower put out by its 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine is said to "capture the soul of the original M3." Or so they say... BMW claims this new sportster was inspired by the 1988 M3, and the German automaker's intention is reportedly to "illustrate its ability to build race car performance into a small car, capable of everyday use."

Expect to see the new 1 Series M Coupe hit dealership lots in the spring of 2011 for $47,010, in limited quantities according to BMW.

Detroit 2011: 2012 BMW 650i Convertible goes topless in the Motor City



In addition to the scorched orange 1 Series M Coupe at the BMW booth in Detroit was the new 2012 BMW 650i Convertible. Under the sharply creased (and rather long) hood lies a 400-horsepower, twin-turbocharged, direct injected V8 that manages to shove out 450 pound-feet of torque between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm. All that grunt will be sent to the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission.

BMW claims the new 6 Series Convertible can drop its flying-buttress-equipped fabric top in exactly 19 seconds an there's also a 10.2-inch screen to control the standard iDrive technology package. Not bad, but such niceties are to be expected when you are asked to pay a wallet-busting $91,375 for the privilege of owning one, which you'll be able to do sometime in the spring of 2011.

The future BMW i8 surprise

During the last of 2010, rumors swelled around the name of the future production version of the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept . It would indeed be called i8.

Here, however, to think about. A member of Teamspeed, Captain Stradale (note this nice nickname by the way) has very recently overheard a meeting of shots on the Abu Dhabi circuit of a vehicle very similar to the concept Vision EfficientDynamics but that was not the concept VED .

Modified at the roof and doors is questionable nature of this vehicle. Would this be a foreshadowing more realistic than ever the future i8?
