New BMW 6-Series | Facelift

New BMW 6-Series, actually it is just a facelift that you cannot understand the difference from the non facelift model. BMW revealed the 6-Series with super minor facelift last week and introduced a new chapter in automotive industry. A facelift that cannot detected by anyone else. 
This will benefit the second hand value of the non facelift 6-Series models! However, the main improvement is the improved standard equipment and new driving assistance technologies. Actually the best bit of the facelifted 6-Series is the Driving Assistant Plus system that enables to the 6-Series to drive by itself during a traffic jam!
6-Series still does look beautiful and charming!

New BMW X5 M and X6 M

BMW recently revealed (actually yesterday) the new X5 M and X6 M. And I really like both of them.  Not only BMW X5 M and X6 M offer market leading pre-crash and various assistance systems, they look way better with M design.

Yes, they are big and heavy but I really like the X5 M and X6 M! Their nibble driving character and the contradiction massive size bundled with a massive weight make things more exciting!

Engine figures are : 423 kW/575 hp, fuel consumption combined: 11.1 l/100 km (25.4 mpg imp), CO2 emissions combined: 258 g/km.

BMW i8 Review by XCAR

BMW i8 is the future of automotive industry for the following decades. Combination of electric engine with a tiny internal combustion engine and you can charge it at home. This is not something really special. Toyota made it long time ago without the plug-in function but it never managed to be a cool car!
The main reason, if you are planning to introduce an innovative propulsion system, use innovative technology with rest of the car! BMW i8 made it! Carbon-fibre chassis, a design that turns a Ferrari into Honda Civic and state-of-art emission levels!
Unfortunately, I didn’t have the change to drive a BMW i8. Why? It is too complicated and long store. However, Alex Goy from the XCAR YouTube channel managed to drive a BMW i8! And why I share it here? Because, I trust his reviews on car, even though we don’t share my opinions about cars :)
Sorry for the photos, I was too lazy to find BMW i8’s photos. These are from the Louis Vuitton’s limited collection for the i8. Louis Vuitton is not included to price!

Louis Vuitton BMW i8 Collection

Louis Vuitton BMW i8 collection is recently revealed in London. In case you wonder, BMW i8 is the plug-in hybrid sports car of the BMW made from carbon-fibre. i8 does not based on any existing BMW platform, it is designed on a blank sheet of paper. Basically, BMW i8 is a ground breaking new sports car and like all other sports car, i8 has a limited luggage space. 
What is wrong with the limited luggage space in a sports car? Basically, you cannot fit any luggage properly, because it is tiny. In order to over come this problem, you can either stop using the luggage space or buy bespoke luggages. And Louis Vuitton helps you to solve this problem with BMW i8.
The carbon fibre and leather crafted exquisite hand bags and luggage of Louis Vuitton will help you to use the luggage space very efficient way. Also Louis Vuitton’s collection is matching with the DNA of the BMW i8 perfectly. That’s what I really like with this collection. Matching with the DNA of the BMW i8 and manufactured by Louis Vuitton. 
BMW i8 is powered by a 1.5-lt three-cylinder petrol engine with 231 HP and 320 Nm of torque and drive the rear wheels. The electric motor is powering the front wheels with 96 HP and 250 Nm of torque. The top speed with both power plants is 250 km/h, only electric drive top speed is 180 km/h. Acceleration to 100 km/h is only 4.4 seconds. The CO2 emission level is only 49 g/km!

The New BMW X6 and X6 M50d

New BMW X6 is finally revealed. The first generation BMW X6 was a sensation, it was out of this world. A massive SUV with only seats to offer accommodation and drives like a go-kart. Despite the criticisms against the X6’s unusual design and some of the drawbacks, it managed create a new segment in automotive industry and competitors are getting ready to follow.

BMW X6 offers the same safety and driving features like X5 and the same interior. However, the new X6 looks better than the X5! The engine range is the same as well, xDrive30d 3-lt TwinTurbo diesel offers 258 HP and 530 NM of torque, M50d offer 3-lt three turbo diesel with 381 HP and 740 NM of torque. xDrive50i is 4.4-lt TwinTurbo petrol engine with 450 HP and 650 NM of torque.

The sDrive35i, xDrive35i and xDrive 40d will be available in 2015. Also the new X6 is 40kg lighter than the first generation. I think we will see more X6 than the X5!

New BMW X6 Photos

New BMW X6 photos were leaked or we assumed they were leaked and they are the originals. Anyway, here are the photos of the next generation (2nd) of X6. The front looks exactly the same as X5, and surprisingly the interior is the same with X5. Why? Because, it is called economies of scale. It is more reasonable (cheaper) to use the same interior on different vehicles (Ferrari does the same). 
And it will be offering the same technologies and engine with the X5. May be some unique features can be seen on X6 to differentiate it from the X5. So, Range Rover Sport brace yourself, X6 is coming!

New BMW X5 eDrive | xDrive 40e

BMW X5 eDrive, xDrive40e. BMW recently revealed their concept plug-in hybrid BMW X5. And soon to be on production, like next year. Personally, I really admire the BMW’s ambition to introduce new electric and hybrid vehicles to their range. Unfortunately, we cannot see this ambition with Mercedes and Audi.

Why I liked the BMW X5 eDrive? Because, it is a new technology, you will consume less fuel, less tax, probably no congestion charge for London and enjoy the same performance of a larger engine. And the experience of electric engine on a full size SUV.

The BMW X5 eDrive is powered by a 2-lt petrol engine with 245 HP and 350 Nm of torque. The electric motor is 95 HP and 250 Nm of torque. In total, the output of BMW X5 eDrive is 340 HP and 600 Nm of torque. And also you can charge at work, at home, at shopping centre, at your annoying neighbour’s house and more. Electric mode drive the X5 up to 32 km and up to 120 km/h of speed.

Basically, BMW X5 eDrive is the coolest SUV or SAV you can have.

Car Mistake at The Wolf of Wall Street

I have just found a mistake at The Wolf of Wall Street movie, a car mistake. The movie started around the 1980s and we could easily understand this from the huge limos. 
However, at 4:27, a crack in the time occurs and a BMW 3-Series (E36) sedan appears. The problem with the BMW 3-Series E36 is, BMW E36 was revealed on 1990 and available in Europe around 1991 and available in US market around 1992. 
Basically, The Wolf of Wall Street missed this minor point and I don’t complain. That’s quite hard to distinguish exact times of the cars available at a very certain point. However, they should have hired a petrol head to avoid any car mistakes :)
