BMW’s To Get Some Diesel Power

Howdy,
BMW unveiled their diesel intentions at the Detroit Auto Show.  They are expected to be in showrooms later this year.  BMW hints that the first models to get the diesel will be the X5 SUV and the 5 series.  Currently named the X5 XDrive35D (must be some BMW driver’s bra size).  Good news […]

Beyond silly, But We All Need A Laugh

Time for a little BMW ingenuity.  Personally, I can think of at least 100 other BMW projects I would rather work on, but hey, we all need a little bit of humor.  For those of you Bimmer’s with a little road rage in you, see what this Youtuber did to his:

Can your BMW Fly?

Howdy, 
Not sure if we are talking drugs or alcohol, but these guys in a 2008 BMW must have been on something.  I don’t think the ultimate driving machine was meant for this.  Kind of makes Lady Di’s crash look like a little tap.  Supposedly, the BMW was on a airplane runway, tried to […]

Magical Cool Little Wheel Cleaning Tool Discovered

Howdy…. 
I just came across a great little accessory to keep those BMW wheels clean.  We all know how the little nooks and crannies of wheels and their designs can frustrate even the best of us. 
The latest BMW car cleaning innovation is here in the shape of the SonicScrubber Pro Detailer.  It looks live […]

If India’s Tata Motors can make a car for $2,500, couldn’t BMW make one for say…twice as much?

Howdy… 
Advertised as the worlds cheapest wheels, India’s Tata Motors is launching a $2,500 People’s Car.  This could be in the price range that even presidential candidate John Edward’s dwindling middle class could smile at.    Personally, I thought at that price, it must literally be for the “wheels only”, not the whole car.  […]

Is The Tweel Wheel For Real?

 Howdy…
     I just came across this Michelin concept wheel which looks interesting though the looks might take a few years to get used to.  Personally, I think it detracts significantly to the cars appearance….. especially a BMW.
     This is an airless constructed puncture proof tire.  Kind of like a tire without the […]

Memories for sale. Are you going to fall in love with the new 135i BMW Coupe?

Howdy…
As I am a great admirer of smaller cars that pack power intelligently, the BMW 135i Coupe should fit neatly into my ideal garage. The 135i Coupe is a good ball of fire that brings back our crazed youth in various BMW 2002’s. High performance in a tight little package, the 135i harks […]

Is BMW Ready For The Disappearing Door?

Howdy….    
  I just came across a new concept which would revolutionize the car door world.   A company in the UK is making these disappearing doors.  Integrate this into your BMW and you would surely have a head turner.  This would be the ultimate in arriving in style. 
     It does appear to have some […]

The BMW “Versatile V Must Have” Crossover Concept Car

Howdy….
     It is stunning to see the development proceeding on BMW’s concept “V” car.  The working name for the project in BMW’s headquarter is “Space Functional Concept” but it is likely that by the time it reaches production, it will wear a V (for versatility?) badge, much like the X of BMW’s off […]

Gotta have night vision! When is the last time you ran over a deer in the road ?

     I don’t have the risk of running over deer in the highway in my neighborhood, but this is a cool addition for gadget freaks.  BMW has introduced a night vision screen on the display monitor for the new 5,6, and 7 series.
     The positive…. Driving in the dark requires greater concentration […]
