2011 BMW X3 Pricing Released

• 2011 BMW X3

BMW has disclosed that its newly introduced X3, which marked the second generation of the vehicle since it was introduced in 2004, has been enhanced with new technology capable of establishing new benchmarks for agility, efficiency and comfort in its segment.

BMW said the design of the new X3 conveys elegance, agility and ruggedness, noting that the forward-slanting BMW kidney grille and large headlight assembly combine with a powerful-looking front apron and hood boasting six contour lines sweeping down to meet at the kidney grill, giving the X3 a bold presence, while the twin round headlights combined with the round fog lamps form the triangular light pattern that is characteristic of BMW SAV design.

The automaker said the upper edge of the headlight assembly sports an accentuating chrome trim, creating the focused design typical of BMW vehicles, while its signature ‘Corona Rings’ are again illuminated to function as the daytime running lights, adding that when equipped with the optional Xenon headlights, the Corona Rings and daytime running lights are illuminated by bright white LEDs.

“The profile of the new X3 is also characterised by a unique interpretation of typical BMW X design features. Powerfully flared wheel arches and the short front and rear overhangs emphasize the robust character of a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle. The dynamic appearance of the silhouette is accentuated by three characteristic lines. The new BMW X3’s brand-typical upper contour line at door handle level rises steeply at first within the front wheel arch area, then flows gently to the rear. Two additional subtle lines follow this contour line above the wheel arches.

1980 BMW M1 Supercar: Yours For $250,000

1980 BMW M1
BMW, a brand that prides itself on building the ultimate driving machine, doesn’t have a genuine supercar in its lineup. But this was not always the case because back in 1978 BMW launched its very own supercar. It was the mid-engined M1 homologation special, a car that made its debut more than 30 years ago at the 64th Paris Auto Show and went on to sell in several different variants until it was discontinued just three years later.

The M1’s body was based on a 1972 BMW concept car but was penned by Italian design house Giugiaro Italdesign and developed by BMW Motorsport with the help of Lamborghini. At the time of its launch, it was one of the fastest and most dynamic cars on the market. It featured a 277 horsepower 3.5-liter straight-six engine and could reach speeds in excess of 160 mph. The car's smooth six-cylinder revved freely to a 7,000 rpm cut-off and was capable of accelerating the M1 from 0-62 mph in 5.6 seconds.

Inspiration for car themes often comes from random thoughts or from influences in our daily lives. These themes can be developed from something as basic as a single color or from something as complex as an abstract feeling provoked by an image or words but in this case was developed from a sport we are also passionate about; golf.

Like vehicle tuning and customization, golf is a highly technical sport, which requires top tier engineering and design of its precision equipment to enhance performance.
