March 22, 2013 in Auto News, BMW, Cute Cars, Motor Show, New Cars, New cars

BMW is overhauling the 3-series Coupe will be replaced in 2013 by the new 4-series Coupe and Convertible previewed in this remarkably production ready concept car.

BMW 4-series in detail

This 4-series BMW car will be shown at the 2013 Detroit auto show but CAR understands the production versions will be delivered to dealers by summer 2013.Coupes come first, followed by the 4-series Convertible, which sticks with the failure hard top solution, albeit further refined. And this time there’ll be an extra body style: a 4-series Gran Coupe.

Due in 2014, this is a four-door coupe in the mould of a baby Merc CLS. We’ve seen a similar action on the 6-series 4dr and BMW aims to repeat the trick with its smaller brother.No word yet on the engine in the BMW Concept 4-series Coupe, but it’s safe to say the road going two-doors will mirror the loftier echelons of the 3-series range, at launch at least.

That means a diet of four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, mostly turbo charged and all tweaked by well-organized Dynamics cleverness to trim emissions and fuel consumption.

What can you do with that old BMW you have sitting roughly

May 22, 2012 in BMW

Many BMW enthusiasts have that extra BMW sitting roughly their driveway, maybe they park it on the street because it leaks a little bit and the relations does not want to let the neighbors you actually own it. It is kind of embarrassed when you think about it. More than likely though that very car has some kind of connection to the owner and regardless of all the nagging from the wife you will not send this car to the garbage pile. What can you do with it?

Enter Chump Car World Series!

That terrible BMW you have hidden out on the street in front of your house has the possible to be a racecar and it might even be intended to bring you along to a top spot on the dais. The car barely run if you can even get it to start so how is this likely? Everyone else is going to be racing similar cars so you will be in Good Corporation. $500 dollar cars are run in this series of crapcan racing which is nice when you wallet cannot maintain a more serious entry into Club Racing.

Enter a very particular 1986 325e. It was hit in the back and is rusting. The mend was quite low quality and at some point the stem might fall off. The car starts when it needs too which is a crap shoot. Maybe it’s your lucky day and it will flame right up. The shifter is lessening out of the auto and drags on the driveshaft. It’s filled with garbage. This is perfect! The car is owned by a friend named John Allen and the car has forever been called “The Special”. More on that later. Being an E30 nerd myself most of my friends just appear to all be E30 guys.

It’s a curse and we love it. A late night of wrenching on one of our own E30s that was broken down we decided we should enter ChumpCar and run the particular. Say it ain’t so we are going racing!

Enter the John Allen particular USFail1 race team. A bunch of BMW nerds that love wrenching and want to go racing. This is where we have to make an apology for the misleading title. While method 1 is coming to the US in Texas there is not a new Formula 1 team and BMW is not recurring that we know of. What we do have is a 1986 325e 5 velocity and it will be racing in ChumpCar. BMWBLOG will be following along with the build and consequences as we make this into a true racing machine.

Enjoy the photos of what we are starting with and satisfy check back as we will have updates to get everybody caught up with where we are at!

Detective Video: 2013 F80 BMW M3 Sedan

May 4, 2012 in BMW, New Cars

Another M vehicle is spied during a trying session at the famed Nurburgring. The 2013 F80 BMW M3 Sedan goes about the track for a new trial before it’s liberating next year. Initially introduced in a car form, the F80 M3 will be followed by the Coupe and Adaptable variants, all using the same engine.

BMW

And this is where they anonymity comes in plan. Previous reports were associating the new M3 with an inline-six engine while more new ones point to a radical alter in BMW M’s philosophy: a turbocharged V6.

Some of our sources say that the V6 is a 3.3 liter BiTurbo engine with around 450 horsepower, in order that has been denied by others, so at this point, any news approximately the new M3 engine are to be taken with a big grain of salt. To add even more fuel to the fire, Car and Driver has lately available their own opinion on the V6:

The new V6 will be the first to increase its two twin-scroll turbochargers inside the vee-angle, mirroring the company’s 4.4-liter V8 design. The This unique-to-BMW draw near reduces the length of the inlet tract compared with a normal turbo-vee setup, helping to sharpen throttle answer and minimizing heat buildup after air passes through the intercooler. A 60-degree V6 will also offer the best balance, but a 90-degree angle is wanted to fit the two turbos.”

In this week’s interview with BMWBLOG, Dr. Friedrich Nitschke, BMW M CEO, refrained from offering additional details on the power plant, but we were left with an important tidbit of in order: the new M3 will be lighter and will make extensive use of carbon fiber parts.

With another year of manufacture, the E90/E92 M3 might be the consumers’ last chance to grab a V8 naturally-aspirated engine.

The test mules showed below reveals the wide track specific to M products, as well as M front bumper, square LED headlights, large brakes and the autograph four exhaust pipes at the rear.
