1998 Bmw Z3 Isr-3 Roadster on 2040-cars
Brownsville, Vermont, United States
This Estoril Blue Roadster BMW Z3 is the ultimate performance version of that car, an BMW/Dinan ISR-3 Roadster. Less than 100 BMW Dinan ISR-3 were ever produced. I am told that the actual number was 46. ISR-3 roadster stands for Intercooled Supercharged Roadster. Each ISR-3 made is unique, they are numbered. Each has a prominent number plate under the hood. And this one bears the number “07”.
The ISR-3 Package, which stands for Intercooled, Supercharged Roadster, adds virtually every high-performance upgrade that Dinan offered for the E36/7 M Roadster. The S52 3.2L inline-six engine now features a Dinan/Vortech belt-driven supercharger that delivers 10lbs of boost, with a Dinan air-to-air intercooler to prevent heat soak. To best utilize the added power from the supercharger, the engine also features Dinan performance software, high-flow intake, high-flow throttle bodies, high-flow fuel injectors and a low-pressure Dinan Free Flow exhaust system. The 5-speed manual transmission is also upgraded with a lightweight clutch and the OEM rear end has been replaced by a 3.38 limited slip differential. The car rolls on lightweight 18″ Dinan wheels and the suspension has been improved with an aluminum & carbon fiber strut tower brace, Koni dampers, performance springs and larger sway bars. All said and done, this M Roadster pumps out incredible horse power and torque in a 3,100lb package that will rocket to 60mphin the low 4s and pulls .91gs on the skid pad and touch a top speed near 160mph.
Factory features of this M Roadster include a premium Harman/Kardon audio system, heated sport seats, optional AM/FM radio with CD player, a sport steering wheel, power-operated soft top, roll bars and air conditioning.

2015 BMW 1 Series facelift revealed [w/video]
Fri, Jan 16 2015While we don't get the BMW 1 Series at all in the US anymore, European buyers are getting a refresh of the luxury compact hatchback for the new year. Unlike the German brand's recent work on the 6 Series, the work is actually noticeable and improves things nicely. Up front, BMW keeps the changes subtle. The lower airdam is tweaked with larger air intakes and less chrome than before. The redesign and better sealing around the reshaped, narrower headlights also help optimize airflow and – in our eyes – improve aesthetics. LED running lights are standard now, and full LED units are optional. The more striking changes come at the back, where the 1 Series now wears the Bavarian brand's latest L-shaped taillights. The lights wrap around the sides and cut into the hatch to create a much more visually interesting look. The lower apron gets some small changes as well, and it all works together to create a more cohesive look. The BMW hatchback also gets some engine tweaks to go with its updated style. A new 2.0-liter four-cylinder is offered in 150-, 190- and 224-horsepower tunes. For those who want the best fuel economy, the 116d EfficientDynamics Plus makes 116 hp from a 1.5-liter turbo diesel and features active air flaps and redesigned kidney grille bars for better aero. The top-spec M135i with its 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six gets a six-hp boost to 326 hp, too. Updates to the eight-speed automatic give it longer gearing and predictive shifting based on the vehicle's navigation system data. All of the new models hit the market in Europe later this year, specifically in late March for the UK. Read below for BMW's full list of tweaks and changes and to see it in motion on video. The BMW 1 Series for 2015 16.01.2015 Nearly two million 1 Series models have been sold since the introduction of the first 1 Series generation ten years ago. This latest incarnation builds on the winning formula of these three- and five-door predecessors with new power units from the latest BMW engine family, additional EfficientDynamics technologies fitted as standard, and careful enhancements to the exterior and interior design. The level of standard equipment is now even higher, new options have been added and with new mobility services from BMW ConnectedDrive, there are even more ways to increase the functionality and personalisation of the new 1 Series.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
