BMW debuting sustainable sports car concept in Frankfurt

Image
Busy, busy. BMW starts the day by leaving F1. And it looks like for lunch they’re bringing a green sports car to the Frankfurt Auto Show. Maybe. According to Autotelegraf.nl, the new sustainable sports car concept will be inspired by the BMW M1 Hommage concept and will feature all the latest and greatest BMW EfficientDynamics (auto stop/start, regenerative brakes, electric powersteering, etc). BMW sports car concept BMW sports car concept BMW sports car concept BMW sports car concept BMW sports car concept BMW sports car concept BMW sports car concept BMW sports car concept But the hits don’t stop there — look for the concept to be built from sustainable materials, too. Big question: will this car be just a concept, or will a sustainable sports car actually make its way to dealers? Dunno. But the Dutch word is that BMW is studying the viability of said project and is planning on a limited release two-door showcasing their best environmental kung fu by 2012. Again, we just don’t know, a...

Next BMW 1 series???

Image
This illustration shows how the next small 1 series could look like. And it does seem pretty realistic. And boring. The 1 series hatch came out in Europe in 2004. So a new one is due out pretty soon. We only get the "way overpriced" coupe and convertible versions in the US. With the same engines offered in the 3 series. A weird and stupid move from BMW. Remember when, a few years ago, they were supposed to be working on a sedan version? Mainly for the US market. Where is it??? The next 1 is still supposed to be available as a sedan. (Toe better compete with the next Audi A3, also offered as a sedan). So we might be getting it on top of the coupe and convertible. And smaller engines will also be offered, finally. Making it a true "Compact BMW". And maybe it'll be almost affordable...

M-Zero, Inspired by BMW M Series

Image
M-Zero is a car concept inspired by BMW M series which also consider Mercedes Benz (as the backlight) and DB9 Aston Martin (the global silhouette of is definitely inspired by the DB9). Maël Oberkampf, the designer of M-Zero actually tried to make a model which could be considered as the equivalent of the R8 from Audi. And the result is M-Zero, a car concept that is the “synthesis” between the actual BMW design and a high an performance car which could become the most powerful model of the BMW legacy. The exterior looks great, very BMW style, but we are hoping to be able to see the interior design, we bet it’s futuristic.

2009 BMW 335d Fuel-Efficient Sedan Review

Image
Today's diesels, like the BMW 335d, are powerful, clean and fuel efficient, and have overcome previous drawbacks. Dr. Ronald Golden, my periodontist, had one question beyond the usual inquiry into how I am going so very wrong with his brushing technique. "Where do you get the diesel fuel?" Told that BMW's new 335d is my current test car, Dr. Golden, a long-time BMW driver and auto enthusiast, is curious and wide open to the concept of a high-torque engine powering the superb 3-Series chassis. Chasing all over the city for diesel fuel, though, he doesn't fancy. My usual Petro-Canada self-serve station doesn't offer diesel, it's true, but the Loblaw's just a few blocks further does. The former is 1.7 km from home, the latter 2.8 km, so for me it's no big deal. But how far Dr. Golden's nearest diesel outlet is out of his way requires some research. And on the topic of FAQs, another is how long your hands stink after filling up. Before the sulphur ...
