BMW 1 Series E82 ActiveE
The BMW ActiveE is the BMW Group's next step towards
an emission-free, mass-produced electric vehicle.
Within the framework of project i, the BMW Group is
carrying out research and development work on the development of
electrically
powered vehicles. The ultimate goal is the concept of a
Megacity Vehicle (MCV) that meets the demands of a sustainable
mobility
solution for congested urban areas. For this reason,
the drive components and battery technology that will be used in the
MCV
are being tested in the BMW ActiveE.
BMW Concept M135i

Munich. Simultaneously with the world premiere of the first BMW M Performance automobiles, BMW's concept study of a further model from this new product category will be showcased on the media days (6 – 7 March 2012) at this year's Geneva International Motor Show. The BMW Concept M135i consistently utilises the dynamic potential of the new BMW 1 Series for the concept of the first BMW M Performance automobile featuring a straight six- cylinder petrol engine. The body design of the BMW Concept M135i assigns the youthful and sporty looks of the new BMW 1 Series to a three-door compact model, complementing it with the distinctive athleticism so typical of a BMW M Performance automobile.

BMW 1 Series E82 LCI Coupé
The unmistakable profile of the 1 Series Coupe,
which represents the purest expression of BMW DNA is now sharper than
ever.
The new design of the front fascia on the 128i includes
BMW's innovative Air Curtain that counters turbulence near the wheel
arches and so
reduces the aerodynamic resistance of the vehicle. New
exterior design accents have been incorporated into the headlight and
tail light clusters.
In the interior, new switches and controls have a more
refined look and feel. The updated 1 Series Coupe will go on sale this
Spring.

BMW 1 Series E87 3dr.
BMW upgraded the 1-Series for 2007 and introduced a 3-door sports
hatch variant. The size of the car is exactly the same as that of the
5dr. version,
insuring sufficient legroom for the passengers in the back. For
easier access in the back, the front seats are equipped with an
"easy-entry" system.
The engine range is also the same except for the 1.6l engine which was considered "underpowered" for this sports hatch. Top of the line engine is the 130i, developing 265hp and a 0-100km/h in 6 seconds flat. As these impressive figures were not enough, BMW announced a more powerful version later this year, the 135i. Will have to wait and see.

BMW 1 Series 5 dr. F20
The premium compact BMW 1 Series is already
synonymous with driving pleasure. Now, the second generation offers
state-of-the-art engine and suspension technology,
further improvements in fuel efficiency, significantly more space and an
innovative
range of features and equipment.
Still the only rear-wheel-driven car in its class, it builds on the strengths of its predecessor, which has already sold more than one million units worldwide. With its outstanding handling and design, innovative technology and premium image, the new BMW 1 Series has consolidated its position as a pioneering individualist in the competitive five-door segment.

BMW i8 Concept
The BMW i8 Concept and the fascinating approach that
underpins it embody the vision of a sustainable contemporary sports car
brought to life. Its innovative plug-in hybrid concept combines the
modified electric drive system from the BMW i3 Concept
– fitted over its front axle – with a high-performance three-cylinder
combustion engine producing 164 kW (220 hp)/300 Nm (221 lb-ft) at the
rear. The electric motor in the BMW i8 Concept is a
full-capability unit which can also power the car on its own, if
required. However, working in tandem allows the two drive systems to
display their respective talents to the full, delivering the performance
of a sports car but the fuel consumption of a small car.
BMW 5 Series ActiveHybrid Sedan F10
BMW announced the introduction of its newest hybrid, the BMW ActiveHybrid 5. Based on the
BMW 535i Sedan,
the ActiveHybrid 5 brings together BMW's 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo
inline
six-cylinder engine, an electric drive system and an
eight-speed automatic transmission for the first time.
The latest generation of BMW ActiveHybrid technology
also adds precisely controlled energy management to the mix.
All of which gives the BMW ActiveHybrid 5
an exceptional balance of performance and fuel economy
for a benchmark performance/luxury sedan. Its drive
system generates combined output of 335 hp (DIN), allows the car
to be driven on electric power alone up to 37 mph (60
km/h), and accelerates the BMW ActiveHybrid 5
from 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds (preliminary). The BMW ActiveHybrid 5 will arrive in US showrooms
in March 2012.
BMW 3 Serias Sedan F30
With the announcement of the sixth generation BMW 3 Series Sedan, the
benchmark by which all sport sedans are
measured just got raised. The pioneering history of the 3
Series serves as inspiration for the new sports sedan,
whose powerful styling represents a fresh interpretation
and conscientious development of traditional BMW design cues.
It will not only set new standards for performance and handling
but also for luxury, technology and efficiency as well.
G-POWER BMW M3 Tornado RS E92
After the 635hp-strong G-POWER M3 GTS caused a stir with the trade press and automobile enthusiasts,
G-POWER unleashes another technical tour de force with its most recent creation –
the G-POWER M3 TORNADO RS with SK III „Sporty Drive“ Supercharger System.
BMW ALPINA B6 Biturbo Converible F12
The all-aluminium V8 power plant produces 507hp (373kW) at a moderate
5500rpm, with a maximum torque of 700Nm between
3000rpm - 4750rpm. Two turbo-chargers configured in
parallel, each feeding one of the two cylinder banks, with specially
developed large diameter exhaust-turbines allow this
engine configuration to provide both exceptional power output and an
abundance of torque over an especially broad rpm range
while maintaining excellent throttle response at low rpm.
BMW AC Schnitzer ACS6 Coupe F13
F13 is the plain model designation of the third generation BMW 6-series Coupé
which was officially presented to the public in October.
The Aachen-based tuning specialists approached the project
with fingertip sensitivity and technical know-how to
make the new "star in the Coupé heaven" (to quote GQ magazine)
into a true AC Schnitzer.
BMW ALPINA B6 Coupe F13
For ALPINA, a technology driven company, standstill is a foreign word. Since the introduction of the
B7 Bi-Turbo,
the engineers from Buchloe, Germany, have been continuously working on
the
details of the turbo charging and intercooler system.
Consequently, the all-aluminium V8 power plant now produces 540hp
(397kW)
at a moderate 5500rpm, with a maximum torque of 700Nm
from 3000rpm. Two turbo-chargers configured in parallel, each feeding
one of the two cylinder banks, with specially developed
large diameter exhaust-turbines allow this engine configuration to
provide both exceptional power output and an abundance
of torque over an especially broad rpm range while maintaining excellent
throttle response at low rpm.
ALPINNA B3 GT3 Coupe E92
ALPINA’s recent return to international motor sport peaked this year, with the drivers Alexandros
Margaritis and Dino Lunardi winning the German GT Series, the 2011 ADAC GT Masters Championship, in the
BMW ALPINA B6 GT3.
With this achievement ALPINA purposefully demonstrates that despite
a long absence from motor sports, cutting edge
automotive know-how and technical expertise continues to be the
foundation for
the development of exclusive BMW ALPINA automobiles. Ideal circumstances to re-kindle the long-standing
ALPINA tradition of creating ultra small series limited editions.
The BMW ALPINA B3 GT3 combines exceptional characteristics and technical features of the ALPINA B6 GT3 race car with classic design elements of iconic ALPINA automobiles of the past – to the delight of ALPINA customers and enthusiasts worldwide.
