BMW Mini Rocketman getting special London display during 2012 Olympics
From the end of July to September, the BMW pavilion near the athletes' village is set to showcase the concept car that was first shown to the public last year’s Geneva Motor Show. The Mini Rocketman sports a new glass roof, creating light effects both on the outside and inside of the vehicle.
Mini will greet athletes participating in the Olympics (July 27 to August 12) and Paralympic Games (August 29 to September 9) with the updated version of its Rocketman concept painted in the colors of the Union Jack.
The body's blue hue features contrasting carbon details on the front and doors, and the white 18 inch alloy rims provide added contrast.
The Mini Rocketman Concept's defining feature are the light effects created by the glass roof, with light strips recreating the British flag's pattern that turn white when they are switched off. At night, the strips provide subdued lighting for the car's interior, certain to attract gazes from the exterior too
In a nod to the Games themselves, the center console is designed to symbolize a basketball court, complete with miniature players.
The concept is set to draw thousands of Londoners and tourists during the Olympics, but it won't be on sale before 2014 at the earliest.

BMW showcases electric lineup at i Store
The event also showcased the debut of the BMW iPedelec, an electric bicycle concept. Constructed in aluminium and carbon fiber, the iPedelec can reach speeds of 25 km/h (15 mph), will have a 40 km (25 miles) range and a battery that can be totally charged in four hours.
The BMW i3 is the first totally electric car conceived by the German firm. Designed to be used in an urban environment, the model is also unique in its use of interior space, which provides an impression of openness and is based around sustainable materials. The airiness of the car design is enhanced by the fact that much of the electric technology is largely out of sight in the lower portion of the vehicle.
The BMW i8 has a sportier design and is not purely electric but rather an extended range hybrid with a three-cylinder gasoline engine that takes over when the battery on the electric engine is drained.
Both cars are designed to be on the market in 2013-2014.
Last month the German brand debuted another unique car retailing environment with the opening of its Paris showroom on tony Avenue George V, a site which hosts the brand's most luxurious models in addition to concept cars and models on loan from the BMW museum in Munich.
The Park Lane London showroom officially opens its doors to consumers July 25.

BMW Marks Three Decades Of The (Second Generation) 3 Series
While the E21 pioneered many features still found in the 3 Series, it was arguably the E30 models that won the affections of enthusiast drivers, solidifying BMW’s claim of building the “Ultimate Driving Machine.”
Unlike the E21, which came in coupe and cabriolet forms only, the E30 was available in coupe, sedan, wagon and cabriolet variants. E30 buyers could also choose between rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive, while the E21 was rear-drive only.
The E30 was produced from 1982 through 1991, although the cabriolet version soldiered on through 1993. While the E21 largely emphasized fuel economy, the E30 focused on performance, and ultimately gave rise to cars like the 325is and the first-generation BMW M3, originally developed to race in the DTM series.
To honor three decades of the BMW E30, Germany's E21/E30 BMW 3 Series Club will hold a gathering on June 16 at the BMW Museum in Munich. Over 50 cars are expected to be on display, and club members will be on hand to field questions relating to the E21 and E30 models.
A tour of the BMW Museum is also planned, including access to the normally-restricted BMW Group Classic display. If you find yourself in Munich this weekend, it may be worth dropping in just to check out the time capsule cars on display.
