BMW shows the preview of 2014 BMW M3

As_e8hz1
The upcoming 2014 BMW M3 is another astonishing new vehicle when it arrives in about two years from now. There are lots of speculations already formulated regarding its engine as well as to it specification, there might be a probability of an incline 6 boosted by trio turbo chargers or even better with more radical change in the performance of a V6.

Yes, V6 is very compatible to its highly advanced 3.0 liter, according to the insider of BMW. The new V6 will be the first one to ever mount its own twin scroll turbo chargers – the company shows the same for their 4.4 liter V8 design. The new design and formation is better, it is unique that BMW came up with a reduced length of inlet track; this will really help to provide cooling of air and will eradicate overheating.

This next BMW M3 will be larger, but you don’t need to worry because it is lighter than the currently running generation. Even if the new F30 3 Series sedan is about 3.7 inches longer than the E90, there is an average range of 88 lbs less in weight. Alloy chassis components is what made it possible to reduce the weight also, it is the main reason of the increased use of ultra high tensile steel to the entire body.

The lightweight design also includes a carbon honeycomb hood that weights about 6.6 lbs. On the other hand, the aluminum wiring of this car’s electronics helps to save another 15 to 20 pounds in overall weight.

Thanks Patrick for being a recent customer and writing to us!

TUESDAY TECH TIP: Rearview Camera

A0081012_374x250
Steer in reverse as confidently as you take to the road. This smart innovation allows you to view the area behind the rear bumper and see small objects that are not ordinarily visible.

It even offers interactive track lines that turn along with the steering wheel to help direct your path. And it's all in front of you on the large dashboard monitor, instead of hidden behind you.

Tuesday Tech Tip: 2012 Full Power Hybrid

5h_modelhighlight-engine_374x250
The ActiveHybrid5 is BMW's first hybrid model to start with our award-winning, 300-hp TwinPower Turbo inline-6-cylinder engine, then adds a high-voltage 55 hp electric motor integrated into the 8-speed STEPTRONIC transmission.

The combination provides 335 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque while reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared to the standard 535i. Combined with a standard 8-speed automatic transmission, the ActiveHybrid5 is capable of an estimated 0-60 mph time of 5.7 seconds. Now THAT's fast!

BMW finally delivers a good-looking 6-series

35154560_ss40_610x458
BMW's original 6-series earned it the nickname "shark" for its profile, but nobody applied that moniker to the revived 6er from the last decade. BMW designers, forced by regulation to make the trunk lid a certain height, seemed to just sort of give up when it came to the rear of the car.

As a result, the trunk lid looked like a piece merely tacked on to what could have been a nice profile. Maybe BMW's designers were hoping an aftermarket would develop in modded trunk lids. Given the price of the car, the 6 buyer is not typically a modder.

After too many years with the wart-like trunk lid, BMW finally got the design smoothed out. The 2012 BMW 650i came out with a profile much more similar to its oldest ancestor. This long-nosed grand touring coupe had many CNETers remarking on its sharp looks while it sat in our garage.

Beyond the design, the 650i benefits from a juggernaut of BMW technology development. Whether under the hood, in the cabin, or at the wheels, BMW employs technology to improve every aspect of the car.

The driver is treated to one of the best navigation systems available, a spectacular sounding Bang & Olufsen audio system, and even automatic parking. The engine is powerful and efficient, while adaptive suspension and steering lets the car behave like a lapdog or a road-eating beast.

Tuesday Tech Tip:

Rotor_374x250
Enhanced Braking System:
We believe being able to stop quickly is even more important than being able to drive fast. That's why our enhanced braking system does more than just brake. If it's raining, it'll dry off the rotors. If you're stopped on a hill, it'll keep you from rolling. If you quickly pull your foot off the accelerator, it prepares to brake just as quickly. And, if you're braking repeatedly, it knows you need more force.
