BMW VISION

It was the star of the Frankfurt international motor show IAA in 2009: a four-seater sports car with charismatic design, fascinating performance figures and unsurpassed efficiency, powered by BMW ActiveHybrid technology and presented under the title BMW Vision EfficientDynamics.


With its wide range of completely or virtually production-ready components, this concept study met with an overwhelming response. There was a widespread desire to put the car on the road, and the realisation of this desire is moving considerably closer.


At the Leipzig trade fair centre BMW is presenting a fully road-ready technology showcase vehicle based on the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept study. This presentation will give media representatives their first ever opportunity to find out what it is like to drive the 2+2-seater car powered by an innovative hybrid system.

BMW X3

BMW is in a habit of proving its worth every time when it comes to its reputation and pride. Critics recently said that the BMW Company is ignoring its SUV section and is mainly making a market for luxury cars. In such context, we find the release of BMW X3 which represents the SUV category.

BMW 130i

It’s a tasty-looking recipe. Take the smallest BMW – rear-wheel drive, naturally – and squeeze in the latest 3.0-litre straight-six engine producing 258bhp. Then stand back and let some of the most talented automotive engineers in the world serve at a suitably hot temperature.

BMW ALPINA B7

Headquartered in Germany, Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen GmbH ("Alpina") has been working its magic on BMW models since the 1970s, and while most think of Alpina as an aftermarket tuner, the company is officially recognized as an automobile manufacturer. From its earliest days, Alpina models have been noted for their factory-quality engine, suspension and cosmetic upgrades, and the company is credited with offering high-performance street variants of BMW models even before the automaker's own Motorsport "M" Division jumped into the game.

BMW X6

Looks


You thought that the Porsche Cayenne was the only oddball design from German land? Then think again. Look at the BMW X6 and you would forget that there ever was a Porsche Cayenne. Imposing, Intimidating and bewitching are some of the adjectives that would come out of your mouth when you first see the BMW X6 in flesh. To be fair enough, it shares its platform with the very capable BMW X5 and hence the intimidation part would there be for sure. Cut to the 55 mm ride height difference between both and the X6 sits fairly low which makes it look all the more imposing. The Corona head lamps show off the mean streak in this car. The fog lamps placed in their quadrangular slots are distinct for this car. The hood isn’t long as the Z4 and almost similar to the one in the GT.

BMW X5

The BMW X5 was this German automaker's first entry into the luxury SUV segment. Realizing that most SUV buyers rarely, if ever, venture off-road, BMW designed the X5 for on-road performance and handling. Short overhangs, a compact size (the original was 4.5 inches shorter than the 5 Series sedan of the same time period) and a car-based chassis combined to give the X5 its low stance and superb on-road performance. The X5, produced at BMW's first American plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, quickly became a huge hit for BMW in the U.S.

BMW M3

Few race cars enjoy the reversal of fortune that BMW's M3 enjoyed over the past two seasons of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS). In 2000, the M3 race car, which is known as the M3 GTR and races in the GT class, won only once and was trounced by its chief rival, the Porsche 911. But BMW roared back in 2001, winning six of the eight races and taking the manufacturers' championship and the drivers' crown for pilot Jörg Müller. It was an extraordinary feat considering Porsches outnumbered BMWs four to one at most races. What BMW did was replace the M3 GTR's six-cylinder engine with a V-8, which spelled more low-end grunt. A little history explains why the engine swap was beneficial. By the end of the 2000 season, the 3.2-liter six had reached a horsepower plateau after six years. The problem was the rule-mandated intake restrictor plate with its 1.7-inch-diameter hole to reduce the amount of air that enters the engine. As an engine spins faster and needs more air, the restrictor's effectiveness increases. And how! Think of breathing through a straw: You can take regular breaths through it easily enough, but start exercising and breathing hard, and suddenly, getting air into and out of that straw is tough. In the GT class, the restrictor makes a smaller, high-revving engine less effective than one with more displacement and low-end torque. Because of the bore spacing of the BMW six, the engine could not grow beyond 3.2 liters. Porsche's flat-six displaces 3.6 liters.
