BMW 3 Series wins Top Spot in Car & Driver's Top 10 Best Cars for 2008

noreply@blogger.com (webpromo) — Sat, 17 May 2008 14:26:00 +0000

For the 16th year in a row, the BMW 3 Series has won the top spot in Car & Driver's annual Top 10 Best Cars list. Here is a quote from Car & Driver about the 3 Series-

"The formula for these cars seems disarmingly simple: Ample power from a pair of ultra-smooth straight-six engines, one of them force-fed to the tune of 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque; suspension tuning that confidently combines supple ride quality with autocross responses; classic coupe and sedan proportions that have evolved gracefully since the 325i made its first 10Best appearance in 1992; supportive seats that could serve a trans-Nebraska cruise on I-80 or a BMW-club track day. Simple, right? But in 17 years, no other carmaker has quite managed to package these attributes as successfully as BMW, although many have tried. Which is precisely why the 3-series continues to be the perennial benchmark of the entry luxury-sports-coupe, -sedan, -convertible class."

In its article about the Awards, Popular Mechanics automotive editors praise the 2008 BMW M3 as "..one of the few performance cars that can triumph at weekend track days and still carry four friends in perfect comfort and luxury to an evening movie…The M3 is elegant and powerful, and it does its job at a comfort level not many cars can match."

BMW takes home 6 awards at the International Engine of the Year Award

noreply@blogger.com (webpromo) — Sat, 17 May 2008 14:20:00 +0000

BMW ran the table at the International Engine of the Year Competition finishing with 50% of the possible awards, including the coveted International Engine of the Year. The awards are presided over by a panel of 65 international motoring journalists from 32 countries across the whole world. They serve to recognize engineering excellence in many of the cars that we all love.

BMW's 3.0 L Twin Turbo engine found in the 135i, 335i and the X6 took home the top honor for the second time. This engine is universally recognized as one of the most powerful, yet efficient engines in the world.

Generating 300 HP and 300 lb/ft of torque, the N54 as it is affectionately known, has become the pinnacle in the world of performace.

BMW also won for Best New Engine with a 2.0 L Twin Turbo Diesel engine. Additional BMW winners include the 4.0 L V8 that powers the M3, the 5.0 L V10 that powers the M5 and the 1.6 L Turbo found in the Mini Cooper.

Let's talk about safety....

noreply@blogger.com (webpromo) — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 22:12:00 +0000

Let's talk about safety....

At BMW, we believe there are two types of safety features in a vehicle: Active and Passive.

Passive Safety in a BMW means the most technologically advanced protection with features such as Adaptive Brake Lights, Advanced Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), Interlocking Door Anchoring to help in side impact collisions and front and rear Head Protection Systems, helping to protect the occupants in the event of a collision.

Active Safety is the ability of the driver to avoid the collision in the first place. This starts with the most basic component in any car-the brakes.

BMW has introduced four new innovative features to improve the active safety of its drivers: all of these are a part of Dynamic Stability Control or DSC.

1) Brake Stand-By-If you suddenly remove your foot from the throttle, DSC anticipates that you are going to want to stop quickly and will pre-tense the brake calipers for faster stops.

2) Brake Drying-When it rains, it takes longer to stop a vehicle. BMW recognized this and incorporated rain sensors into the vehicle. When they sense moisture, DSC will periodically bring the brake pad in contact with the rotor to dry the brake pads. This feature will help stop the car faster.

3) Start-Off Assistant- DSC helps prevent your vehicle from rolling backward or forward when stopped on a hill. The brakes will hold your vehicle momentarily when you release the brake to start moving again.

3) Brake Fade Compensation-As your brakes heat up due to continuous or repeated braking, DSC senses this and compensates by applying the brakes with more force, with the same pedal action.

These features are a part of all 2008 BMW's and each of them was designed to increase the already legendary safety of BMW vehicles.

BMW Builds a Better Cruise Control?

noreply@blogger.com (webpromo) — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 22:10:00 +0000

What is Active Cruise Control. Active Cruise Control allows the driver to set a desired speed that is automatically maintained in free flowing traffic. What makes this feature very special is that as the BMW approaches slower traffic, a radar sensor in the vehicle alerts the vehicle. Unlike normal cruise control systems which would then require driver intervention, Active Cruise Control will automatically slow the BMW to match the speed of the slower vehicle in front and remain at a preset distance from the vehicle in front. Once the lane ahead clears, Active Cruise will automatically return the car to the preset speed. This feature is available on all 2008 BMW's. Active Cruise Control-another first from BMW-The Ultimate Driving Machine.

Wish you could see in the dark?

noreply@blogger.com (webpromo) — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 22:07:00 +0000

Wish you could see in the dark?

The answer is Night Vision-a revolutionary new technology available on the BMW 5 Series, 6 Series and 7 Series automobiles. Night Vision uses long distance infrared cameras that allow you to see pedestrians, or in my neck of the woods, deer, lots and lots of deer, up to 1640 feet ahead of the vehicle. If you drive poorly lit roads this feature is invaluable.

It's All About Weight...

noreply@blogger.com (webpromo) — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 22:04:00 +0000

Have you ever wondered just what makes a BMW so amazing to drive? I believe most of us have driven a BMW and have not given much thought to how much engineering goes into these vehicles to make them handle so flawlessly. Everything on a BMW is engineered to add to that distinctive feeling. The goal with every BMW is to achieve a perfect 50/50 weight balance front to rear.

Things such as a Magnesium/Aluminum engine block that lower the weight in the front to positioning the battery in the rear of car all add up achieving that goal. Every component is analyzed to determine how it can be improved. Features such as the Carbon Fiber roof on the new M3 help lower the center of gravity and reduce weight.

Why does BMW go to such lengths? Well ask anyone who has driven or who drives a BMW and they will agree-it is worth it!

M3, X6, 1-Series... New BMWs are here!

noreply@blogger.com (webpromo) — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 22:00:00 +0000

What an amazing last few weeks at Performance BMW. First we opened our new showroom and service facility in early March, then we received the first of 3 all new M3s. To top it off, the 1 Series rolled in and now we have the X6 coming in a few weeks. What a great time to be with BMW!

For those of you who have not experienced the thrill of the new 1 Series, we highly recommend a test drive. They are truly spectacular vehicles and bring us back to the early days of BMW. This car is nimble, very quick and extremely fun to drive-in essence, pure BMW.

The X6

WIth the introduction of the X6, BMW is pioneering the concept of the Sports Activity Coupe. This brand new vehicle, first featured at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show, combines a coupe's roof line, performance and agility. It features five doors, four sculpted seats, a higher seating position and loads of cargo space, taking the coupe to a much higher level. Available in two models, the X6 xDrive 50i features a 400hp V8 and the X6 drive 35i with a twin turbo charged inline six capable of 300 hp. We anticipate the launch of this exhilarating new vehicle in the second quarter of 2008.
