When it comes to finding a great sport sedan, the automotive market is like a massive haystack.  With this truth, it is very difficult to find a needle in the mass of look-alikes, wannabes, and distractions.  So, with so many options is it even worth finding the one real golden needle among all the strands of hay?  Of course!  Moreover, fortunately for you, your search through the stack has finally paid off in finding that needle!  Your new Carbon Black Metallic 2008 BMW 550i with Navigation, M Sport Package, Comfort Access System, Rear Sunshades, Active Steering, Active Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Logic 7 Sound, IR camera, and Satellite Radio is truly a rare gem.  Its vast array of unique options set it apart from not only other brands on the road, but even from its other 550i brethren.  From its rare black headliner to its enviable active cruise control, this is just the car to separate you from other cars on the road and their drivers.  You will be a standout not just because of your beautiful car, but also because of how much you saved buying wholesale.  Let us see just how spectacular your new 550i is!

 

EXTERIOR: Your 550i looks great clothed in CARBON BLACK METALLIC paint.  At a quick glance, the color looks like a shimmering black, but with closer inspection, you can see gorgeous dark blue undertones.  Under the hood of your new BMW, you will find the 550i's claim to fame: a 4.8L DOHC V8 engine with 360 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque.  You will love the sound of the roaring engine with each press of the gas pedal.  Despite all that ability, your BMW still gets a remarkable 22 highway MPG!  As part of the M sport package, upgraded 19" M sport wheels are wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tires (in excellent shape) look great on the car.

 

INTERIOR: The outside of your car is incredibly remarkable, but what about inside?  The interior is outfitted in clean black upholstery complemented by bamboo wood trim and rare black headliner.  The 20-way power sport front multi-contour bucket seats feel comfortable and and can be adjusted to fit you perfectly.  To ensure that everyone in the vehicle will be comfortable, there is tri-zone automatic climate control with auto air circulation and other great functions.  One of the nicest features of the vehicle is the BMW iDrive system with on-board computer.  With the built-in factory navigation system, you can easy get turn-by-turn directions to just about any destination.  Also housed in this unit are on-screen visual controls for the climate, car options, and entertainment.  The upgraded Logic 7 BMW stereo with graphic equalizer includes AM/FM/Satellite radio stereo with CD player and changer and MP3 capabilities sounds great through the ten speakers and two subwoofers.  The Lane Departure Warning system is activated with just the push of a button on your steering wheel.  As you drive, the car will monitor your driving and the steering wheel will vibrate to let you know if you begin to drift from your lane.  This is a great safety feature, especially on longer trips.  You will love utilizing the Comfort Access System for keyless entry and start.  The car will detect the key in your pocket or purse and allow you to enter the car and start it without ever taking out the key!

 

In addition, your BMW Night Vision provides a new dimension of optical perception when driving at night.  A thermal imaging camera detects human beings, animals, and objects in front of the car before they become visible to the human eye in the headlights.  The image generated by the system is trans­mitted to the central Control Display within the car presenting objects detected with increasing brightness as a function of the heat detected by the camera -- and therefore making human beings and animals particularly conspicuous.

 

The thermal imaging camera covers a range of up to 300 metres or almost 1,000 feet ahead of the car.  BMW Night Vision therefore offers the customer particular benefits when driving over land, down narrow lanes, through gateways leading into courtyards, and into dark under­ground garages, significantly enhancing driving safety at night.

Google reveals Alphabet, but BMW already owns that trademark

Tue, Aug 11 2015

Google co-founder Larry Page unveiled a surprise restructuring yesterday with the announcement of Alphabet, a new company that owns Google and all of its semi-related products. Google's stock soared five percent directly after the announcement, the world was busy dissecting the meaning of alpha and bet, and things looked rosy for the new company. However, there could be one problem: BMW owns the trademark and .com domain for "Alphabet." And it doesn't want to sell, a spokesperson tells the New York Times. BMW's Alphabet provides service packages to corporations with vehicle fleets. In terms of trademark infringement, it's no problem for two companies to have the same name, as long as there's no possibility of confusion for customers. In this case, there is at least one clear connection between the two organizations: BMW is a car manufacturer and Alphabet owns Google, which has a line of self-driving cars. BMW is looking into the possibility of trademark infringement, NYT reports. As for the Alphabet domain, Google's new company has secured abc.xyz, so BMW can continue using alphabet.com without worry – except for the apparent traffic overload that hit the site after Page's announcement. Google's Alphabet has a different domain issue to tackle: China has blocked its new site, despite expansive local coverage of the restructuring, Fast Company reports. This article by Jessica Conditt originally ran on Engadget, the definitive guide to this connected life.

Audi S3 pitted against BMW M135i in track battle

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

Audi and BMW have long been enemies on both the road and the track, with their respective M and S/RS lines duking it out to the delight of auto enthusiasts everywhere. In this video from Evo, two of the rivalry's newest combatants take to the track - the Audi S3 and the BMW M135i.
The new Audi S3, which is finally coming to America, throws down with a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder. 290 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque are deployed to a Quattro all-wheel-drive system via a six-speed, S-Tronic dual-clutch transmission, allowing the five-door Audi to scamper to 60 in under five seconds.
The BMW, which Americans will know as a long-roof version of the new M235i Coupe, comes to the track with 320 ponies and 331 lb-ft of torque. That's a good bit more than the Audi, but the M135i has only two wheels to send its power to, an eight-speed single-clutch automatic (a six-speed manual is available) and a slightly higher curb weight.

Protonic Red BMW i8 will bow in Geneva

Fri, Feb 12 2016

BMW will unveil special edition versions of the i8 at the Geneva Motor Show, but we hope the rest of the company's offerings are more exciting than its first one – the new Protonic Red Edition. BMW bathes this limited edition i8 in the eponymous red and paints some the trim Frozen Grey metallic. The company finishes off the exterior improvements with 20-inch W-spoke wheels that it decorates Orbit Grey metallic with Aluminum matte hubs. The interior upgrades amount to red double-stitching around the cabin and the addition of some carbon fiber and ceramic trim. There are no mechanical changes. It's hard to get too excited about special paint and trim, but if you are in the market for a more colorful i8, then the Protonic Red Edition seems like a good opportunity. Production begins in Leipzig in July. Related Video: Comfortably exceeding expectations: BMW i8 is the world's highest-selling hybrid sports car. Exclusive BMW i8 special editions. Protonic Red Edition gets the ball rolling at the Geneva Motor Show. Munich. Last year, global sales of the BMW i8 exceeded the combined figure of all other hybrid sports cars produced by other manufacturers*; 5,456 units of the i8, which is powered by the combination of a three-cylinder turbocharged engine and an electric drive system, were sold worldwide in 2015. The car's innovative plug-in hybrid technology delivers system output of 266 kW/362 hp (fuel consumption combined: 2.1 l/100 km [134.5 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 49 g/km)**. "The success of the BMW i8 speaks for itself," said Ian Robertson, BMW AG Board Member for Sales and Marketing. "It is already the world's most successful hybrid sports car and has comfortably exceeded our own expectations. I can think of no better illustration of the relevance of our young BMW i brand." And the BMW i8 is about to add further lustre to its appeal with exclusive special-edition models poised to be unveiled for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show. The new arrivals present customers with even more ways to own a very individual car. BMW i8 Protonic Red Edition will be built in Leipzig from July. The first in this line of special-edition models is the BMW i8 Protonic Red Edition. Like those set to follow in its tyre tracks, it is only available for a limited period.
