According to the German motto “Decent but Dangerous”, the BMW Tuner Lumma took on the modification of the latest BMW 3 Series Coupe. Herefore LUMMA exchanged the front fenders and exchanged them with wider ones including original M3 air intake-slots and LED-signal indicators. Further, the typical BMW Kidney Grille and the Mirror caps were exchanged with carbon fiber material.

Let’s stop the speculations…BMW is coming with a 760i/Li version and its 12-cylinder aggregate

Well we know about the all-new redesigned BMW 7-Series with its 4.4-Liter V8 Turbocharged aggregate and a lot of room for speculations was left in the media: “Would BMW still come out with an upgrade on its current 750?“

Let’s end the speculations and rumors right now, because BMW announced today to offer another “horsepower monster” in its fleet…The BMW 760i and 760Li Long-Wheelbase. These strong motorized “Executive Spaceships” will be fed by a V12-cylinder, 544 horsepower engine. It will catapult the 760i/Li from 0-60 mph in around 4.6 seconds. The optimal momentum of 553 pound-feet of torque will be reached at 1,500 rpm already…WOW!

A very powerful but also very smooth driving operation is guaranteed by BMW’s new 8-speed automatic transmission, which will reduce the gas consumption by another 4.5% vs. the predecessor.

Photos? How about 16 newest snap-shots on this beauty:

 

 Here are some more facts about this new Executive Transporter:

·         Wheelbase measures 5.5” longer

·         Increased legroom for back-seat occupants

·         Exclusively re-designed 19” wheels

·         BMW’s typical Kidney Grille gets wider chrome frame to distinguish itself from the “little V8-brothers”

·         Standard Dynamic Dumping Control

·         Speed-related Servotronic Steering Assistance

·         Dynamic Drive anti-roll stability system

There is only one question left….ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?

No secret any longer – the new 2009 BMW Z4

The secret is not any longer. BMW reveiled the new upcoming 2009 BMW Z4.  Biggest change is “bye, bye” to the canvas top, instead a new retractable hard-top takes place. Further a larger trunk space will be available (almost double size than it’s predecessor). Below are some of the new released pictures:

I love Gold…BMW is showing how the new X1 will be (possible) seen on the roads

“I love Gold”…words we know from Austin Power’s movie Goldmember, and it seems to be that the German Interior and Exterior Designers for German Car-maker BMW recalled this phrase, when they decided on the color selection for the new BMW X1 concept.

I LOVE GOLD...Austin Powers salutes you
I LOVE GOLD…Austin Powers salutes you
After working day and night in the BMW Development Center BMW’s designers and engineers finally finished the tedious work to make the X1 look nice for it’s reveal on the European Automotive Show in Paris this October.  See how the process went along and see the end product. But be aware, these pictures are at this moment only “concept and ideas” and could be subject to change. Enjoy…

Are we seeing here the new BMW Z4 of 2009 (Photo rendering)?

Another outlook for BMW’s Model Year of 2010?

Well friends and “lovers” of the Bavarian Auto Maker a.k.a. BMW it looks like that there is a lot commotion going on in the Bloggosphere about the new face of the BMW family. Certainly, the Kidney grille will still be the unique and stand alone design feature, BMW hopefully never will get rid off. But how about the front section, especially “the eyes”. Do you remember the hype years ago about BMWs’ “Angel Eyes” which illuminated so pretty the frame of the H4-lights and later on the xenon light of the 5 Series and so on? Now look at this (may be) new Z4 picture (rendering) I could discover…

is this new BMW Z4?
is this new BMW Z4?

It will have certainly the aggressive look of the current BMW family, and when you have had time to read my post about the new BMW project on the Mega City Car, I can see quite a bit similarities in the front party. How do we say so often looking at a baby’s face holding proudly by it’s Father… ”just like Daddy”…
