BMW M1 supercar turns 30 BMW, a brand that prides itself on building the ultimate driving machine, doesn’t even have a genuine sports car in its lineup. But this was not always the case because back in 1978 BMW launched its very own supercar. The car was the mid-engined M1 homologation special, a car that made its debut 30 years ago at the 64th Paris Motor Show and went on to sell in several different variations until it was discontinued just three years later. The M1 was developed by BMW Motorsport with the help of... Article added: 2008-03-27 07:34:23 Article Views Rating: 186
Not over yet: eBay buyer still trying to get M3 from BMW dealer Ken Tanisaka's battle to get his M3 sedan from BMW of Lincoln, Nebraska is not over, despite encouraging words posted by Ken himself on Monday. While the embattled eBay winner had reported that he would be sold the brand new M3 sedan for his winning bid of $60,000, there were "special conditions" that had yet to be discussed. Having spoken with the dealership now, as well as retained his own attorney who specializes in internet law, Ken has revealed what the conditions are. First, the dealership asked...

VIDEO: BMW 1-series looks pretty good on paper BMW has definitely ramped up its marketing for the launch of the new 1-series coupe. We've already seen the fruits of its advertising partners' ingenuity on the cover of Vice magazine, and today we've been tipped off on the attached video. In it, you'll see a group of agency types assemble a two-dimensional 1 out of paper and poster board. When complete, they go out for a Flintstones-powered "test drive" in Manhattan to try it out for size. Just remember, crosswalk and sidewalk operation is safe for...

BMW ends V8 diesel production With emissions and fuel-economy regulations getting tougher on both sides of the Atlantic, BMW has decided it no longer needs to offer V8 diesel engines in its lineup. Officials feel modern turbocharging and direct-injection technology has reached the point where smaller capacity six-cylinder and even four-cylinder engines offer more than adequate performance for customers looking for fuel-efficient diesels. BMW plans to end production of its V8 diesel engines and will no longer offer the option for its... Article added: 2008-03-26 16:47:28 Article Views Rating: 194
Spy Shots: 2010 BMW 5-series interior We’ve seen plenty of spy shots for the new BMW 5-series, including a number of possible renderings for the final design, but this is the first time we get a good look at the new car’s interior. As the images reveal, the cabin of the 2010 5-series closely resembles the design of the current model although there are a few key differences. BMW’s engineers managed to cover up most of the details but we can still pick up a few vital clues about the new 5-series cabin. Designers have moved the i-drive...

BMW 1 Series offers great ride, but comes with steep price tag Finally, a BMW under $30,000 that is not used, reclaimed from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina or sold in the back lot of a chop shop. Of course, if you decide to add an HD Radio and iPod adaptor, or Xenon headlights, or pay sales taxes, the 2008 BMW 1 Series is going to top the 30-grand threshold. I like the luxury European compact cars now rolling onto America's streets. It's an interesting segment to watch, and one that's going to continue to grow. The Audi A3 and the Volvo C30 rev well in the... Article added: 2008-03-26 08:09:14 Article Views Rating: 186
Internet FTW! BMW buyer getting M3 thanks to pressure from web We're betting M3post.com forum member, dooma350, had no idea that his call for help with a shady transaction on eBay Motors would become what it did.

BMW Canada sets Vice magazine aglow Magazines and ads are forever tied at the hip. After all, without the latter, the former can't exist. A magazine's front cover is one of the few spots left that's devoid of commercial encroachment -- until now. BMW Canada and Vice magazine have managed to give the 1-series top billing in the April edition. By day, it's just another issue of Vice, but douse the lights and you see some very clever marketing in action. That's because the mag has a special glow-in-the-dark treatment that turns the cover...

BMW dealer auctions new M3 for $60K on eBay, doesn't want to honor the deal var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/autos/Dealer_auctions_new_M3_for_60K_on_eBay_doesn_t_honor_deal'; Apparently all is not kosher in corn country. BMW of Lincoln, Nebraska posted an auction on eBay for a brand new M3 Sedan for $60,000. Perhaps they were hoping for the kind of eBay madness that would push the price to six figures something other dealers are doing right on the show floor. If that's what they were after, well, they didn't get it. The car was won by a gentleman in California for the listed... Article added: 2008-03-24 07:43:26 Article Views Rating: 208 |
