Not one, but two press releases from BMW Group today confirm the company’s commitment to its heritage. Many fans are familiar with BMW’s Mobile Tradition efforts, targeted at owners of classic Bavarian cars. The relatively recent, very public restoration of an Inka BMW 2002tii comes to mind, for example. Reading through today’s announcements these same [...]
By Dennis J James BMW, or Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, is an example of the oldest carmaker in Europe. BMW has its main headquarters in Germany and it is best know for its high performance autos and motorcycles. BMW Group includes other brands, such as Mini and the magnificent Rolls-Royce. Before the First World War [...]
Only a month after an exciting show in Geneva, the 2009 New York International Auto Show is about to kick off. Doors will officially open to the public on April 10, but you can be sure that pictures will start trickling in as soon as the 8th, when the press will get their first peek. [...]
More 2010 BMW 5-Series Touring spy shots
Monday, 03. 30. 2009 – Category: Aftermarket News, Main
Since I’m a total Touring fan, I was excited to see these new 2010 5-Series Touring (F10) spy shots pop up on Globalmotors.net. While still heavily camouflaged, it’s at least no longer burdened with the dead-ugly temporary tail light treatment we saw on a previous test mule. Rumor has it that both wheelbase and track [...]
2009 BMW Z4 First Drives – Review Roundup
Friday, 03. 20. 2009 – Category: Aftermarket News, Main
Today’s the day the press embargo should lift on the new Z4, which was launched in Alicante, Spain, earlier this year, so expect to see coverage coming out regarding the new hardtop roadster soon. We’ll do our best to keep you up to date on coverage that we come across, but feel free to post [...]
The soon-to-be-released BMW 5 Series GT, which as far as we know is still scheduled for an official launch at the New York Auto Show this spring, is currently on BMW TV (and thankfully in a color other than Geneva Auto Show Gold). So, dust off your German dictionary, and check out the finer details [...]
BMW Group’s German site recently posted a new promotional video on the BMW TV section of their site, featuring Absatzmanager (what does that even mean?!) Thomas Kohl and a pair of Alpine White cars (135i Coupe and a 335i Sedan). We imagine this ties in directly to the official BMW Performance Power Kit revealed at [...]
Our friends at autoblog (well, we’re not really friends YET, but hope that calling them ‘friends’ will make them more receptive!) just posted some pretty detailed spy shots of the new X1 with BMW’s paisley pattern du jour. While the camo may blur the lines a bit, these photos are quite clear and give a [...]
Bimmertoday posted another interesting German auto manufacturer cross-pollination rumor today, which apparently originated at the Frankfurter Rundschau, one of the leading daily newspapers in Germany. They suggest that BMW might be considering a take-over of the Opel marque. While it might simply be a rumor based on the very visible troubles GM is going through, [...]
Our friends at Autoblog.nl tipped us off to the fact that Der Spiegel, (think Time or Newsweek) is reporting that BMW is in discussions about taking a 7% stake in Daimler, and that Daimler would reciprocate with an equal stake in BMW. While the two companies are in talks about sharing resources in R&D and [...]
