bmw x4

Yes, another X model from BMW is in the works, this time the BMW X4. It certainly seems like BMW is going after the crossover market, trying to compete with the models launched by BMW and Audi.
Based on the X3 softroader, the BMW X4 will have four doors but will come with a coupe styled roofline. The X4 is suppose to fit right in between the X3 and X5, but having a size closer to the 330i touring.
Even though the X3 has never been lived up to the BMW expectations, the german manufacture is still trying to force the market and test its customer’s loyalty with this new BMW X4, which specialists, including myself, don’t believe that it will be a “hit”. The X4 is rumored to be ready for launch in 2010.
Take a look at the pictures that Christa Lehmann with Hidden Image captured and let me know what you think.

bmw x3

The BMW X3 is a desirable car for many of us, having four-wheel drive, partial off-road ability, whilst still being as sporty to drive as a BMW saloon. This vehicle, which is categorised by the Bavarian manufacturer as a SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle), is made all the more desirable after a visit to the workshop of the tuning specialist LUMMA from Winterlingen. The X3 is given an even sportier look and more power by fitting various body-styling elements, lowering the suspension, fitting a set of aluminium wheels and tuning the engine.
By fitting the D-Box, LUMMA breathes an additional 41 horsepower into the series-produced 150 kW / 204 bhp 3 litre six cylinder straight engine, giving it a total of 180 kW / 245 bhp. This diesel then has a powerful torque of 492 Nm – an extra 82 Nm. This power makeover costs € 750.

LUMMA has changed just about everything in terms of the external appearance. The front end is dominated by a front spoiler bumper for € 949. This generates downforce, thus giving the X3 better wheel grip. Larger air inlets ensure adequate cooling. Incidentally, the original fog lamps can still be used. A set of headlight lenses (exempt from TÜV approval) for vehicles with or without Xenon headlights is available from LUMMA for the price of € 79.

The sides of the X3 are adorned by a set of side sills including wheel arch extensions for € 950. The superb racing look at the rear end is produced by an apron with a diffuser, of which a version is shortly to be launched also for use with a tow coupling for the price of € 990. LUMMA has equipped the boot lid with an attachment for € 279, which simply clips on. Working its way up to the top of the rear end, LUMMA finishes off with a boot lid spoiler for € 349, which has a stabilising effect at high speeds.

For vehicles, apart from those with self-levelling suspension, LUMMA provides an H&R suspension lowering kit for € 349, which brings the X3 45 mm closer to the road at the front and rear. Stylish LUMMA/ATP wheels round off the external appearance of this SAV. The price for the complete set of wheels is € 5,896. LUMMA fits these chunky wheels in their 10 x 22 inch design with 285/30 tyres from Kumho.

Four pipes, each with a 76 mm diameter, allow the power of this X3 3.0d CLR X to be heard, providing the acoustic proof of the potency of this LUMMA-tuned BMW. They form part of a complete stainless steel exhaust system exempt from TÜV approval (with EEC type approval) for € 1,190.

LUMMA embellishes the entrance area with a four-piece set of stainless steel sill pad covers for € 189. LUMMA also lends the interior of the X3 a racing car feel by providing a set of aluminium pedals for € 159.

bmw x2

There is a rumor going around for some time now regarding a brand new BMW model being launched in the near future: The BMW X2, which may become  part of the BMW line up from 2011. The BMW X2 or SAR, which stands for Sports Activity Runabout, as it was codenamed, is looked at as BMW X6’s little brother or a baby BMW.

As for BMW X2’s design, it will be a two-door model with lines that resemble a coupe’s. The BMW X2 will have the same engine as the BMW X1 and probably similar technologies, including the xDrive.
While Carmagazine UK says that the BMW X2 hasn’t been given a green light yet, as the plans are still being drawn, a test mule has been spotted in Munich, so at the time we are still in therumor stage and we don’t know if BMW will continue with this.bmwcoop

The M1 coupe was hand-built between 1978 and 1981 under the Motorsport division of BMW as a homologation special for sports car racing. The body was designed by Giugiaro, taking inspiration from the 1972 BMW Turbo show car. Originally, BMW commissioned Lamborghini to work out the details of the car's chassis, assemble prototypes and manufacture the vehicles, but Lamborghini's financial position meant that BMW reassumed control over the project in April 1978, after seven prototypes were built. Only 456 production M1s were built, making it one of BMW's rarest models. The spirit of the M1 lived on in the M635Csi and the first-generation M5, which shared the same (though slightly modified) engine. The M1 had various successes in motorsports. In 2004, Sports Car International named the car number ten on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1970s.
