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 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: 189
BMW mulls downsizing M engines, adding turbos BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer recently revealed plans to phase out diesel V8 engines across the board, but as drastic as this sounds it could be just the tip of the iceberg for the carmaker’s future plans to shakeup its powertrain lineup. BMW’s hallowed ‘M’ division could also be affected by the new wave of environmental consciousness sweeping carmakers across the world, the end result being smaller engines and turbochargers in future M cars. Speaking with Auto Motor and Sport, Reithofer said BMW... Article added: 2008-03-28 05:33:24 Article Views Rating: 166
Video: BMW’s ConnectedDrive in action Chrysler may end up being the first to market with an in-car internet solution, but BMW’s ConnectedDrive, announced in advance of this year’s Geneva Motor Show, is the first to bring us video of the system in action. An interesting point covered in the videos is that the internet service is routed through BMW proxies - meaning both that no anti-virus or other protective measures are needed, and that all traffic on your annual subscription will be going through a BMW computer before being...

BMW & Mercedes in EV talks with Magna One of the weirdest concepts from the recent Geneva Motor Show wasn’t from a major a carmaker but from independent manufacturer Magna-Steyr. The concept was the Mila Alpin hybrid and it served as a platform to showcase a number of different technologies all in the one vehicle. Features displayed on the Alpin include a new modular design that’s said to make construction cheaper and more efficient, a compact 4WD system capable of climbing terrain at 45 degrees and a mid-engine layout with a hybrid...

Preview: 2012 BMW 3-series crossover (V3) BMW is currently developing two new models based on its next-gen 3 and 5-series sedans that will take the luxury brand into new territory. The new models are best described as MPV-wagons, but unlike the current Touring models the new cars will feature a tall ride-height and high roof profile to maximize interior space. The model based on the 5-series, which will be called V5, is due to arrive towards the end of the decade. If successful, BMW will then release a smaller version, dubbed V3, based on the...

VIDEO: Pontiac G8 embarrasses BMW 5-Series in internet ad Click above to view videoThis is the part where we say, "Oh, snap!" An interesting internet video hosted on the PontiacIsCAR YouTube channel, which makes it at least semi-official, pits the Pontiac G8 GT against the BMW 550i in a 1-minute, 21-second-long homage to the quick cut. Seriously, we've seen MTV promos that keep an image onscreen longer than this video. Obviously, the G8 GT is made to look good in this epileptic seizure-inducing vid, coming in at half the price than the BMW, but being faster...

BMW launches second-generation Hydrogen 7 Two years after the release of the original Hydrogen 7 ultra-clean limo, BMW has taken the wraps off a new ‘mono-fuel’ version that unlike the previous car, which had dual-fuel capability, is strictly limited to running on hydrogen. Also, the new car has almost zero-emissions, is more economical, has more power under the hood and is kinder to the environment than its predecessor. Perhaps the most important news is that the new mono-fuel 7-series isn’t just a pipe dream either - the model... Article added: 2008-04-02 05:23:26 Article Views Rating: 170 |
