2013 BMW 760Li Introduces. Specs and Price Overview

2013 BMW 760Li Introduces. Specs and Price Overview: Twenty-five years ago, BMW delivered the first V12 7-series sedan. It used 5.0 liters of displacement to make a whopping 296 hp, which was powerful for its time.

Now the marque from Bavaria introduced the 25th anniversary edition of that V12 sedan with more displacement and much more power. Only 15 examples of the model will be produced for the U.S. market. The cars will be delivered early next year.

The 2013 BMW 760Li will sport badges reading “V-12 25 Years Edition” and will be offered in a full range of colors. Champagne Merino leather is standard along with black piping. Floor mats, footrests, doorsills and headrests are all uniquely designed as well. Rear-seat entertainment is standard, as are 20-inch wheels, Alcantara trim and piano-black inlays.

A 6.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V12 making 535 hp and 550 lb-ft is under the hood. That's good for a 0-to-60-mph sprint of 4.5 seconds and a limited top speed of 130 mph without the M Sport Package, 155 mph with the option. Those specs are made more impressive by the sedan's 5,015-pound curb weight.

BMW 318d Review, Engine Specifications and Price

One more BMW 3 series car collections is BMW 318d. This is the BMW 318d SE auto. The launch of the facelifted BMW 3-series marks the first time that the 141bhp 2.0-litre diesel engine is available with an automatic gearbox.

This SE edition does not have iDrive, so the facelift changes are restricted to the outside of the car, with minor modifications to the rear lights, bonnet and bootlid.With a starting price of $56,400, the new BMW 318d becomes the new entry model in the all-new BMW 3 Series range. It replaces the BMW 320i as the most affordable 3 Series, though that model also returns.

The BMW 318d is priced a good $4000 cheaper than the entry C-Class diesel, the C200 CDI, and brings with it the latest in diesel engine technology, an eight-speed automatic gearbox and fuel consumption that’s superior by nearly a full litre (4.5L/100km v 5.4L/100km).

BMW 318d

Although the 318d uses essentially the same engine as the 320d, the difference in tune (and a few components) results in 105kW of power (compared with 135kW) and 320Nm of torque (compared with 380Nm).

On city roads the difference is hard to notice but when it comes to merging on the highway or performing an overtaking manoeuvre, it’s easy to feel the difference. Put the two side by side and the 318d will take an additional 1.7 seconds to go from 0-100km/h (9.3 seconds).

Behind the wheel the 318d embodies the essence of what the new BMW 3 Series range offers: a dynamic and sporty drive. Coupled to an eight-speed automatic (standard), the 2.0-litre diesel works coherently in delivering all its torque and power and hardly feels over-laboured in the task. There’s that feel that more torque would be welcomed (which is where the 320d comes in), but overall it’s more than capable of performing everyday tasks.

The BMW 318d is available in four grades: Standard, Modern Line ($3900), Sport ($4900) and Luxury ($4900).

A BMW car soon to be released is the BMW i8, BMW i8 is a hybrid supercar with best features and hight future technology. BMW says this model is slightly newer than the one in Mission Impossible 4, and that the hybrid drivetrain is good to hit 60mph in around 4.6 seconds while still getting 78mpg.

Obviously those numbers are a bit hypothetical until a real i8 arrives on dealer lots, but even getting in the range would be impressive. Then again, with an estimated list price of something like $150,000

BMW's i-series is the automaker's attempt at combining performance and efficiency. Two hybrid vehicles - the compact BMW i3 and the sporty i8 - have been teased in the run-up to the New York International Auto Show next week. Though still in the concept phase, BMW is intent on having the i8 production-ready soon.

BMW 640i Gran Coupe Overview, Engine Specs and Price

Overview

Based on the 6 Series Coupe, both stylistically and dynamically, the result is surprisingly elegant. Rather than just a lengthened two-door model, the Gran Coupe's cohesive design ensures the extra two doors still allow this long car to retain a coupe-like silhouette, with a swage line and body crease to visually enhance its low centre of gravity.

But more than just to fill the gap between the 6 Series Coupe and the 5 Series Sedan, BMW says that the Gran Coupe embodies the 6 Series' sportiness with the 7 Series limousine's luxury.

 There are four engine variants - 640i, 640d, 650i and 650i xDrive. The 640i, which will be launched here in the third quarter, is a 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder petrol engine featuring twin-scroll turbos, while the 640d is a 3.0-litre straight-six turbodiesel.

The 640d we drove last week is expected to make up 80 per cent of BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe sales in the UK, but that doesn’t mean the petrol models should be overlooked.

The BMW 640i Gran Coupe is the third model in the BMW 6 Series line-up, and is the first four-door Coupe in the history of the brand. The company describes the vehicle as having distinct exterior styling, creating a unique aura, and a luxurious interior.

Engine Specifications

The rear-wheel drive 640i Gran Coupe is powered by a 315-hp 3.0-liter turbocharged inline 6-cylinder engine with direct fuel injection, and mated to an eight-speed Sport automatic transmission with manual mode and shift paddles.

Notable standard equipment includes a sport-tuned suspension, Dynamic Driving Control, 18-inch aluminum wheels, adaptive bi-xenon headlights and Comfort Access keyless entry/start. Inside the well-appointed cabin, which offers 4+1 seating capacity, is high-quality leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control and genuine wood trim. A voice-activated hard drive-based navigation system, including 12 gigabytes of dedicated media storage.

HD radio and Bluetooth wireless connectivity are also standard. Safety features include anti-lock brakes, electronic stability and traction control, front and rear parking sensors with rearview camera, active anti-whiplash front head restraints and up to eight airbags.

A Driver Assistance Package is available, providing more advanced systems such as lane-departure warning, blind spot detection, head-up display and an automated parking assistant. The 640i Gran Coupe can also be outfitted with active cruise control and night vision, full LED lights and Integral Active Steering.

The 640i is the first variant of the segment-splitting "4+1" sedan, which gets power from the ubiquitous TwinPower turbocharged and direct-injected 3.0-liter inline-six putting out 315 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque. A 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8-powered 650i Gran Coupe will be on offer later this year in both rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive guise, although BMW is holding off on pricing those two 445 hp models until closer to launch.

BMW Zagato Coupe Overview

Rekindling a partnership that dates back over 50 years, the BMW Zagato Coupe ($TBA) wears its Italian design heritage proudly. Details are scant on this shapely coupe, which features Zagato "z" letters in the signature kidney grille, 19-inch alloy wheels that recall propellers, and a double-bubble roof. We can only guess that it's based on the Z4 roadster, but it doesn't really matter, as this is the only one that exists.

Designed in collaboration with Zagato, the Zagato Coupe is a unique take on the idea of a BMW two-seater built for sport and style. It's not just a raw rolling shell, either: BMW has already put the Zagato Coupe through its paces in high-speed testing.

The idea behind the BMW Zagato Coupe was a "vmax concept," built to embody high-speed aerodynamics in a road-legal form. A very long hood, rearward cabin, and Kamm tail give the Zagato Coupe classic proportions, while the details are pure future-modern. According to Washington Post, As Zagato chief designer Norihiko Harada puts it, "For me, the BMW Zagato Coupé holds a very special magic. It exudes a certain spontaneity which, when combined with the type of unconventional solutions typical of Zagato, lend the car a very individual elegance."

Overview

There's no word on the engine powering this thing, but it ultimately plays second fiddle to the stunning coachwork. Let's guess at something 3.0-litre shaped, with pistons arranged in a straight line. Many horses. Many torques. A nice sound. Probably.

Anyway, this new BMW conjures up the very essence of the coach-built racers of old, and realigns Munich with its Italian connection; tailor-made BMW 328 coupes featuring Italian coachwork were made for late 1930s racecars and the Mille Miglia, while BMW went to ISO founder Renzo Rivolta to help with the dinky little Isetta. Italian hands were also prominent in the BMW 3200 Michelotti Vignale, the BMW 700, the BMW 3200 CS Bertone and of course, the iconic BMW M1 supercar.

So this new Zagato Coupe keeps that flame burning with its entirely hand-built body, with Zagato engineers crafting the lines out of aluminium sheet metal and moulding it flank by flank. Apparently, the brief for the car was a ‘Vmax concept'; a road-registered, aerodynamically optimised car ready for driving.

Clearly taking its base from the Z4 (though BMW doesn't mention it), it gets the classic BMW face, and the contours of the bonnet sweep into a classic Zagato double-bubble roof, right back to that familiar vertically-cut rear end for which the company has become famous. We're told it was formed from a single mould, complete with a rear bumper that feeds down into a large diffuser.

2012 BMW X5 XDrive35i Overview, Engine Specifications And Price

2012 BMW X5 XDrive35i Overview

The X5 is available in five trim levels: xDrive35i, xDrive35i Premium, xDrive35i Sport Activity, xDrive35d and xDrive50i. The xDrive35i variants get a single-turbo 300-hp 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, while the xDrive50i boasts a 400-hp 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8; both engines are mated to an eight-speed Sport automatic transmission with manual shift mode.

The 2012 BMW X5 remains a top choice among luxury crossover SUVs thanks to its athletic performance and refined interior. Athletic handling; potent and efficient engines; luxurious and comfortable interior; huge list of features; steadfast high-speed stability. BMW is conducting a voluntary safety recall of certain 2012 model-year X5 xDrive35i SUVs over concerns about a potential flaw in the automatic transmission’s parking lock.

At issue is the automatic transmission’s parking lock. Documentation from BMW indicates that surface machining of the transmission housing by the supplier was not to specification. As a result, increased friction can occur between the transmission housing and the parking lock pawl. Should this happen, the transmission parking lock could exhibit sporadic non-engagement, even if the “P” position has been selected by the driver and displays. After parking, vehicle rollaway could occur if the driver does not also engage the parking brake.
