Is BMW Making an Electric Car? Gasoline prices go higher and car manufacturers are working hard to invent alternative fuel for their vehicles and also to create the new autos which will use something absolutely different from gasoline. We have already mentioned about alternative diesel version, which is produced from vegetables. Hydrogen vehicles were offered as a solution for gas crisis. This sounds like a really good idea, since we have endless supplies for hydrogen on Earth, but the experts say there will be decades till hydrogen...

BMW 123d hanging out in Michigan Imagine, if you will, a compact rear-wheel-drive hatchback that runs from 0-62mph in a very respectable 6.9 seconds. Not too shabby. Now imagine that this same car could average 45 mpg US! Not possible, you say? Au contraire! In other parts of the world where they don't just use gasoline to power cars, this is not an unheard-of possibility. One shining example is the BMW 123d, which was launched in Europe last year. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder diesel cranking out 204hp and 295lb-ft... Article added: 2008-06-02 06:48:32 Article Views Rating: 193

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: 190
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: 189
BMW to add further features, complications, to iDrive These days, technology and customization go hand-in-hand. Laptop computers and MP3 players now come in a rainbow of colors and your computer's operating system can be made to suit your unique preferences. BMW has big plans in store for its oft-criticized iDrive system which would make it and the vehicle in which it's installed extremely customizable as well. Simple choices such as color schemes and screensavers for the iDrive's graphical user interface pale in comparison to the ability to adjust...

Update: BMW denies struggle with cost cutting Update: BMW has responded to the reports of its difficulty in cutting its global overhead with a flat denial. The company says it has already had over 1,000 employees sign termination agreements, in stark contrast to the reports of only a few hundred terminations, first made by Germany’s Handelsblatt. BMW insists its plan to cut costs by 6 billion euros by 2012 is “fully on track”, according to Automotive News Europe. Original: Rising fuel costs and shrinking demand aren’t the...
