Evander Klum asked:


With an entirely new platform and striking new design in the exterior, the BMW 5 Series is set to be unleashed in 2010. Generally speaking the engineered designs is a huge departure from the present yet ever intriguing E60 5 Series. The “flame surfacing”, however, is remained as is. It is BMW’s design play of concave and convex shapes.



Some of the new BMW 5 Series’ design cues are adopted from the current 3-Series. Examples of these are the rear lamps and v-shaped hood lines that extend down into the front grille bumper fascia, and the coupe-like roof-line that expands down into the quarter panels and luggage lid. In effect, the abhorrent “bangle butt” is gone.

BMW indeed continues to offer its customers a more advanced technology built vehicles as it makes the new BMW 5 Series with more striking appeal to the public. A Flex-Ray high-speed vehicle network architecture (for more agility), new torque splitting all-wheel-drive (which also known as Dynamic Performance Control), refined I-Drive (for an additional driving aid), and a light-hybrid engine system are just few of the new high technology features that come along with this vehicle. As to the engine, the new M5 will retain its V10. It will, however, come with increased horsepower and an 8-speed dual-clutch gear box (i.e. DSG).

The Auto Motor Sports Sweden insider gave the scoop on this new BMW 5 Series and the scoops on the new features were visually presented through computer renderings created by Radovan Varicak, an AMS illustrator.

About the BMW 5 Series

Manufactured by German auto maker BMW starting 1972, the BMW 5 Series is a mid-size luxury car and is also considered an executive car. Now on its fifth generation, the vehicle is currently sold under the body styles of sedan and touring.

The name “5 Series” was derived from its being the fifth of the “new series” cars after the fame of V-8 and Isetta. The “New Class”, the “New Six” 2500/2800/Bavaria and the CS were the preceding models of the 5 Series. It was built with the aim of replacing the smaller New Class sedans and leaving the coupes as the company’s low-end model.

The Series’ body was patterned on the Bertone 1970 BMW Garmisch 2002ti Geneva show car and was styled by Marcello Gandini. He also styled tow other cars tha thave similar designs: the Fiat 132 and the Alfa Romeo Alfetta.

Now there are already 5 generations of the 5 Series. Their identified chassis numbers (EXX) distinguishes them from one another.

The 5 Series was the one that initiated the German auto maker’s tradition of being named with a three-digit number. In the case of this vehicle, the first digit represents the model, and the following two digits are usually representing the size of the engine in deciliters. The main distinguishing characteristics are the last two digits. To define the fuel type used by the vehicle as to petrol or diesel, additional letters or words may be added to the end of the three-digit number. These added letters or words also identify engine or transmission details, and the body style.

With BMW New Class 1500-2000 as its predecessor, all 5 Series vehicles are available with quality assured BMW headlight. These vehicles are similar to Audi A6, Jaguar S-Type, Lexus GS, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Cadillac STS and Volvo S80.

Evander Klum asked:


G-POWER, a German automotive tuner exclusively for BMW models is adding up a new item on their lineup of tuned up models. G-POWER applied their engineering and design skills to the BMW M3.

The main highlight of the G-POWER BMW M3 E46 CSL is the new power plant installed on the vehicle. G-POWER replaces the original six-cylinder in-line engine that pumps out 360 hp and 370 Nm of torque. The G-POWER BMW M3 E46 CSL now comes with a monstrous V10 engine capable of pumping out elicits 550 hp and pulls out 580 Nm amount of peak during acceleration. With this is engine, the G-POWER BMW M3 E46 CSL can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds and can reach an electronically limited top speed of 200 km/h. According to G-POWER this engine “surpasses even those more powerful engines from Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen or Maranello, Italy: 335 km/h is a quantum leap versus the 285 of the original M3 CSL!”

In addition, G-POWER also announced that it will install the new V10 engine on other BMW models like the 3 Series Coupé, Z4, X5, and the new M3. The German auto tuner is also developing a new bi compressor kit for V10 the engine to boost its performance. With this bi-compressor kit, G-POWER targets more output for the V10 engine up to 640 hp, or even 750 hp. G-POWER worked in conjunction with KW automotive to provide the BMW M3 E46 CSL with a high performance suspension system. G-POWER and KW automotive made the suspension system to adapt in the car’s performance, suitable for racing conditions. This model also comes with the standard powerful BMW brakes to stop the car during emergency situations.

Now for the appearance package, G-POWER gives the BMW M3 CSL with its exclusive and the latest wheel designs called the G-POWER SILVERSTONE DIAMOND. This wheel comes in a concave rim design exclusively made for the G-POWER BMW M3 E46 CSL. Available in several diameters, 18, 19, 20, and 21 inches, the G-POWER SILVERSTONE DIAMOND’s unique 10 double spoke design showcase an aggressive stance as well as elegant appeal. Using the advanced technology of surface coating, dust and other dirt particles cannot stick into the G-POWER SILVERSTONE DIAMOND wheel.

G-POWER also added, “This wheel already more than satisfies the exacting safety requirements imposed by Bavarian manufacturers. They feature BMW stipulated run-flat capabilities in conjunction with approved tires! Furthermore, they are lighter in weight than the BMW factory M–wheels. The reduced unsprung weight has a noticable positive impact on comfort, even in conjunction with ultra low profile tires.”

G-POWER did not release the availability and the manufacturers suggested retail price (MSRP) for this exclusive model.

Rafay Naeem asked:


Nowadays, everyone is trying to modify the car comparatively better than others. For this purpose, everyone is searching for better products at a nominal price. An intake system is actually an air inlet for a car’s engine. An air intake is used to provide more air to the combustion chamber to produce more power and energy, which enables the engine to produce more thrust and to increase the efficiency.

An intake is a very common part of the car and it should be engineered perfectly and precisely for good results and better performance. Intake basically increases the velocity and pressure of the air in the combustion part of the engine. Through a good intake system, a car’s engine is able to produce more speed than its normal capability.

Nowadays, BMW has recognized several new air intakes for automobiles, through which they are earning revenue and fame. BMW has launched their modified air intake, which are quite efficient than the other intakes. Usually the modern air intake systems have three main parts:

1. An Air filter

2. Throttle Body

3. Mass Flow Sensor.

Freaks of modified and upgraded cars are buying BMW air intakes, because BMW air intakes have better performance and better results when compared to other manufacturers. These car lovers are also removing their silencers, because silencer reduces the air pressure which helps the silencer in reducing the noise.

BMW Company is using a very advance technology in their car air intake systems. They are using only one Throttle body per cylinder, while others are using two, four and even eight throttle bodies per cylinder. BMW is using these modern air intake systems in their E series cars. Usage of only one throttle body per cylinder increases the flow and also improves the throttle response.

There are many air intake systems available in the automobiles market and the buyers get confused while buying these intakes. BMW is offering the best intake systems with better performance at a very low price. Also, BMW air intake installation is very easy. Just remove the screws of the older air intake, remove it, fix your new one and feel new performance of the car. The aggressive sound and better acceleration will show you the difference of BMW intake.

There are also several types of air intakes in which cold air intakes are most popular and famous among the users. A cold air intake not only increases the car’s efficiency but it also increases the life of the engine by allowing the engine to run smooth at cooler temperature.

BMW intake systems are composed of a variety of materials such as fiberglass, Kevlar, rubber & composite material. The best BMW air intake is one which has an air box which is used to extend the engine power band. These BMW intake systems also have a very large inlet to take a sufficient amount of air in it and to provide engine a sufficient amount of oxygen in all conditions.

The BMW air intakes also have an isolated heat shield which is used to provide cooler air from outside to the engine bay. Fender wall also uses the car air intake to move the cooler air up though convection and it increases the power of engine without over heating it.

BMW has its own name in the field of automobiles. BMW provides you with the best products to enhance the car’s efficiency. So it is better to choose BMW air intakes, because BMW is a car champion.

Michelle Bery asked:


When it comes to cars, the consuming public is one that holds its brands to a high level of expectation. And when we find a brand that we like - one that gives us the quality and dependability that we desire - we will remain loyal to that brand until the end. In most cases, this level of loyalty is extended to luxury vehicles - those cars that command a high price but continually deliver in quality and comfort year after year - and sometimes decade after decade. It’s no wonder then that the BMW M3 - as a part of the BMW brand - continues to inspire and engage customers.

The Bavarian Motor Works company (BMW) came to life in 1913 Munich, Germany at the hands of Karl Friedrich Rapp who was committed to producing a high-end luxury vehicle that would appeal to those interested in the finer things in life. Initially, he was most interested in performance - creating those vehicles that would be unsurpassed in the marketplace and hold up to the changes that would certainly be demanded from the industry. And hold up they did; today’s BMW brand continues to be the pinnacle of the industry - the BMW M3 included.

There are many variations of the BMW M3, and the features you get - and the price you spend - depend solely on the particular model that you choose. The M3 series is a sporty version of the compact BMW design and the models within the product line vary according the generation.

The E30 is the first version of the BMW M3 series featuring a 2.3 liter power train, S14 engine, and 238 horsepower. Standard to this design were flared fenders and a sleek aerodynamic design. The E36 coupe came six years after the E30 and featured a 3.0 liter power train, S6 engine and 286 horsepower. The power train increased to 321 horsepower just four short years later and featured a 3.2 liter power train. This particular model is still highly regarded as one of the best models produced by BMW.

The current model of the BMW M3 - the E46 - delivered an incredible 343 horsepower, new 6-speed transmission, and manual gearbox that required no clutch pedal. And the BMW M3 continues to expand its product line with the soon-to-come E92 expected to debut at the end of 2007. The E92 features a V8 engine and 420 horsepower, and will once again elevate BMW to the next level.

The BMW M3 reflects the overall commitment of the BMW company to top quality, customer service, and a dedication to remaining on the cutting edge of the vehicle industry.

Florrie asked:


I want to sell my S reg BMW but some silly twat has nicked one of the small grills from the front by the number plate. A friend said I should try going to a car scrap yard to find a replacement grill but I think the chances of me finding one that fits exactly will be very unlikely. Would a BMW garage be able to find one for me?

Wayne Hemrick asked:


A BMW is the commuter car of choice for many discerning drivers. Whether you drive into the city from the suburbs for your day on the job, or you travel across the country in your car, a BMW makes the trip much more pleasurable. Its smooth ride and sleek good looks are why drivers keep coming back to this popular automotive company. If you are someone who uses his or her BMW for long auto journeys, you might want to consider investing in satellite radio. BMW car owners choose this popular option in order to enjoy the shows they most like to hear on the radio. Satellite radio, featuring Sirius BMW radio, is an interesting new technology that has revolutionized radio reception.

Anyone who has done long distance travel in their cars knows what a drag it is to just be enjoying some music or talk on the radio, only to find yourself driving out of the station’s range and losing the signal entirely.

Sirius BMW radio reception changes all that. The Sirius BMW radio signal, instead of being sent from a nearby translator, travels to a satellite in outer space, and returns to earth. You might think that the sound quality would be horrible because of the distance being covered, but the opposite is true: digital quality music comes pouring out of your car’s radio.

One of the satellite broadcasters is Sirius satellite radio. BMW Sirius makes any road trip more fun. Instead of just a handful of stations that your radio’s receiver can pick up as your traverse the country, you will have access to hundreds of stations by using satellite radio.

Sirius offers great reception because it has three satellites in place. Allowing for the rotation of the planet Earth, the particular placement of the satellites are such in order to provide continual coverage for its users in the United States. Signals are sent to the satellite, which then sends it back to Earth and your waiting radio receiver.

The antenna that is used to pick up Sirius satellite radio consists of an antenna and a receiver. The antenna picks up the signals from the satellite, cleans up the signals and then sends them on to the receiver. The receiver then converts the signals into a radio frequency that you can hear.

Subscribers to Sirius satellite radio can enjoy all of the music programming that they enjoy, along with all of their favorite talk radio shows that make the time fly by on a long cross-country trip. No matter where you are in the United States, you will never be out of touch with your best-loved audio entertainment. The quality of the sound is what keeps happy BMW drivers coming back to satellite radio.

Chris asked:


I need to replace the coolant hoses on my BMW E30 320i, 1989. I need the upper and lower radiator hoses and all other smaller hoses asociated with the coolant system. I also need the breather hose that attaches to the rocker cover.

I have looked all over the internet for these, on Ebay, GSF, Parts-finder.com, local breakers. I have been to my local Halfords and they said they can’t help me either. Can anyone suggest anywhere that may be able to sell me these hoses? Would BMW be able to supply these parts even though the car is 18 years old? How would I find the correct part numbers for these hoses?

Thanks
Bavarian Autosport don’t list my model. It seems to list every model except the 320i
tried Advance Auto Parts, Autozone, Pep Boys, and Napa. Again, none list my model 320i
