BMW X3 Ad Makes Fun of American SUVs

This just has to be one of the funniest BMW commercials and smartest. I wonder if American companies will have their own commercial to fight back to the X3.

First just watch the video

Now, I think this is a cool idea and a good start towards new things. But this can lead to problems like how will the computer know if another driver is going to leave the parking lot the same time or a lot of other problems will occur. I think it's kinda cool how it starts on its own and then moves for you. What problems can you see this car having?

[Video]Spy Video Of Nissan GT-R V-Spec

carversation — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 06:02:04 +0000

A couple of weeks ago, I posted an article about the Nissan GT-R V-Spec(click here to see it) and how this version of the GT-R will have 300 pds less than current GT-R and also will have about 550hp. This car has little difference from a regular GT-R like a new front splitter, modified rear spoiler, and different wheels. Nissan has also set a sub-7 minute 25 second Nürburgring goal for the GT-R V-Spec — 18 seconds faster than the current car. Underhood, the GT-R V-Spec's turbocharged mill will see an increase in boost, raising output to 550 horsepower — up from the standard GT-R's 480 horsepower. In addition to the power boost, the V-Spec will also shed 330 pounds. A standard GT-R weights around 3,800 pounds, the V-Spec will shed around 300pds with carbon fiber body panels. Well, the car has been spotted only in video this time. Enjoy the video. What a lucky job these drivers have.

HPA’s 565 horsepower 2008 Audi TT 0-60 in 3.5

carversation — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 08:30:52 +0000

The car started its journey in Germany to be painted in custom Lamborghini Gallardo orange. Later the car was shipped to HPA Motosports who built the TT from the ground up. A stock 2008 Audi TT 3.2L V6 produces a total of 250-hp. But with HPA’s twin-turbo modification, along with a cast-aluminum short-runner intake manifold, dual air-to-air side-mount intercoolers, proprietary silicone boost plumbing and a high-flow fuel-supply system, this orange TT now produces an outstanding 565-hp. The result? 0-60mph comes in at 3.5 seconds while the 0-100mph takes just 8.4 seconds. Transferring the power to the wheels via the S-tronic transmission required some work as well. HPA threw in performance clutch packs and a reprogrammed mechatronic which increased launch control revs from 3000rpm to 5000.[Source:eGmCarTech]

All this will cost you about $60,000 in upgrades. However you can now take on that Nissan GT-R without any hesitation.-For more image click on Continue Reading below.

Autozeitung.de was able to snap some new photos of the upcoming 2009 BMW 3 Series facelift. Not much changes except for the new I-drive system will be part of the new 3-series also the mirrors are a bit different. Also, LED taillights will be added to this new model. To me it seems a bit bigger than the current 3-series model. No interior pictures YET, but should be available soon.[Source:BMW Blog]-For More pictures Click continue reading article below.

Listen to the engine roar.[Source:Luxvelocity]

Next generation BMW 5 Series to get twin-turbo V-8

carversation — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 07:47:57 +0000

BMW has decided to use the twin-turbo V8 engine in their next generation 5 series, due to be released most likely in 2010. Having a twin-turbo V8 engine that will push around 400 horsepower, which is amazing and will make any BMW fan amazed, you can get that much power almost like an M5, for relatively cheaper. I hope BMW does update the interior to compete with Audi's nice interior.[Source:BMW Blog]

2010 Bentley Arnage [Spied]

carversation — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 07:42:18 +0000

Spy photographers have captured the Bentley's updated Arnage. The next-generation Arnage isn't slated to hit the market until 2010, but Bentley execs reportedly want to create a true competitor to Rolls Royce's offerings and are getting a head start on the project. It is also possible that Bentley could offer its next-generation Arnage T with the Bugatti Veyron's quad-turbocharged W16 engine. Last year, Bentley fitted an Arnage prototype with Bugatti's W16 engine proving how serious they are. When the next-generation Arnage finally hits the market in 2010, look for prices to be in the neighborhood of $400,000.[Source:Left Lane News]

carversation — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 07:29:49 +0000

BMW's next generation 6-series coupe and cabrio won't be available until late 2010, however we can get a pretty accurate look at how it will look thanks to these renderings. The new design is expected to grow in size and feature a sportier design and also sit lower than the current out going model. There are rumors the car will be offered with two different versions, a more luxurious GT and an aggressive sports model. The engine is unfortunately supposed to carry over untouched, but the new M6 will get a twin turbo V-10 and dual clutch transmission.[Source:Motor Authority]

2009 BMW 7 Series interior snapped

carversation — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 07:14:21 +0000

We finally have what appears to be a spy shot of the new 7's interior. I'm glad to see the gear shifter back in the center where it belongs and not the other way they had it like a Suburban. It seems to look like an ordinary 7-series, I'm not too worried about how it looks yet because it isn't a production model. Hopefully BMW does something about the I-drive system.[Source:Auto Blog]
