Monroe, Georgia, United States
|
1991 BMW 318i (M52 Swap) I have a 1991 318i, it has 248K on the chassis and I'm guessing somewhere between 150K-170K on the M52B28(From a 1998 328i)! This mileage will go up during sell, because I do still daily this car! Super fun car to drive, with the swap, very quick! Motor runs amazing! I was in a small fender bender(required new valance and a fender)so we decided to repaint the car, it was repainted by my dad about a year ago! Goodies: 17x8 Rotiform BLQ's(Kumho Ecsta 205/40's with plenty of life left) M52 Swapped, aftermarket radiator Megan Racing Coilovers with less than 2K on them Nearly FLAWLESS interior(one rip in headliner) The whole entire front suspension was just replaced last month(Tie Rods, Sway Bar End Link, Control Arm, and Coilovers) Valve Cover Gasket just replaced along with spark plugs, crank case vent tube, radiator hose Borla Exhaust(CAT is busted, been meaning to just cut it out) All the exterior trim was replaced when painted! Carbon Intake(Not sure on the brand) Bads: Needs a new gas stank(a friend jacked my car up on the gas tank:/ It holds gas, you just can't fill it all the way up, I still daily it) Needs new heater core piping(not a big deal if you never use heat) One small rip in the headliner(only problem with interior) |

BMW i3 misses top Euro safety rating [w/videos]
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The Euro NCAP just tested a recent batch of new cars including the 2014 BMW i3, and the EV Bimmer scored less-than-perfect results. Though not horrible, BMW's all-electric/range-extended i3 was given a four-star (out of five possible) crash rating due to concerns with front-occupant whiplash and side-impact protection.
Based on the crash results, the BMW provided suitable protection for occupants in the frontal, side barrier, pedestrian and child-seat tests, but the i3 was tripped up when it came to the more severe side pole test and the rear-impact test. The pole test showed protection to the chest of the test dummy was "weak," and the front seats only provided "marginal" protection against whiplash for front passengers. Scroll down to watch two videos released by the Euro NCAP of the i3 being tested.
BMW X5 eDrive Concept is utilitarian plug-in hybrid
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Bridging the gap between internal combustion engine-powered vehicles and electric vehicles are plug-in hybrids, and BMW has made one out of its biggest sports utility vehicle, even if it's just a concept car at this point. The plug-in hybrid X5 eDrive Concept debuted today at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and it sits attached to a charge port on the show floor.
As we reported in August, the X5 eDrive Concept combines a turbocharged four-cylinder engine of unknown output with a 95-horsepower electric motor, to achieve longer range and lower emissions. The X5 eDrive can drive up to 75 miles per hour and 19 miles on electric power alone, manage about 62 miles per gallon (3.8 liters per 100 kilometers) and accelerate from 0-62 mph in under seven seconds, according to BMW.
Three drive modes are offered: one that automatically operates the hybrid system, an all-electric mode and a Save Battery mode that operates the vehicle using the engine only.
BMW planning Zhi Nuo Chinese sub-brand, may export models
Sat, 06 Apr 2013Automakers continue to pour big money into the developing market that is China, and new sub-brands born of joint ventures with domestic partners crop up on what seems like a weekly basis. The latest? According to reports, BMW and its Chinese ally Brilliance are forming a new sub-brand called Zhi Nuo ("The Promise") that will likely rely on existing or older BMW products as a basis for new models.
Previous reports had indicated that the sub-brand could build its offerings based on an older 3 Series model (presumably the E90 series), but newer rumors have the X1 crossover (shown) factoring in. The Zhi Nuo brand could receive its official unveiling as soon as later this month at the Shanghai Motor Show.
Perhaps most interestingly, Automotive News Europe reports that the automaker's ambitions for Zhi Nuo may extend beyond China's borders. It's not clear what markets BMW may be eying, but executives admit the company hasn't ruled out Europe.
