BMW M6 Concept Renderings - This is just wrong!!

November 19th, 2009 at 1:59 am

I know, we should..Not even close to a BMW design language

Ok,maybe the back has something going for it…but that’s about it

NO, this is not the BMW M7, it's a 7 Series with the M-Sport Package

Unfortunately he/she doesn’t know what his talking about. Definitely no M7

Thanks Parker! Shawn has so much passion for BMW and cars that you can see in his writing. Thanks for the kind words, we’re trying to get better every day, even though sometimes we make mistakes

Autocar talks about BMW 1 Series "M-like" car

November 4th, 2009 at 4:05 pm

Barry, initially was being said that the Supersports will use the existing platform, but it seems like it will take advantage of the new 1 series underpinnings since they have been already testing that for a while now.

Still a lot of things are confusing, but I personally believe we will see the Supersports in a year or so with a new design.

Also, BMW is known to create confusion sometimes :) to throw us off the track

"The ultimate driving machine" - The perfect slogan?

November 4th, 2009 at 3:27 pm

Tough, I’m not sure what a new slogan would fit better the brand.

I’m not sure what model…probably a previous generation

Latest rendering of the 2011 BMW 5 Series

November 4th, 2009 at 2:18 am

I think conservative is good, even though I see a lot of evolution when compared to the E60. The car definitely looks sleek, sporty….and I have no doubt it will look stunning in person. Think about the 5 GT….EVERYONE hated the car in photos, but we all fell for it when saw it in person.

It’s just a rendering. I still think the headlights will be slightly different. I do like the overall design though

It’s all good, let’s stay on the topic :)

LOL that was a little harsh….as long as there are no insults, you know that I let people express their opinions….being a civilized blog it’s what makes a good community

Probably another supplier. In the Detroit area were a few of them in the past

Sneak Preview: BMW X5 M Test Drive

It is an awesome color, but I also love that blue that other media outlets tested.

2011 BMW 5 Series interior nearly revealed

October 27th, 2009 at 5:32 pm

If it looks like the 7 Series or 5 GT inside, believe me, it’s a good thing. That interior is the best I’ve seen so far in a BMW.

Do BMW Drivers Carry A Bad Rep??? Say It Ain't So!

October 27th, 2009 at 5:28 pm

To be honest, the stereotype applies more in other parts of the world, for example, in Eastern Europe, the BMW community is fighting to change these misconceptions.

But the stereotype also came from viral videos, like the one made by Audi, where they portray the M3 driver in a not very favorable light….

I could honestly say that I went from a snobby BMW driver to a mature, professional, courteous, but still adventurous driver in a matter of years.

I believe Joey was trying to show how those videos bring a bad rep to us, the owners, but honestly, the majority of us are exactly how you described: mature individuals.

Would I do what these people are doing on the streets with their bimmers? Probably not, but if you give me the chance on an empty road/track, I will push that car like there is no tomorrow.

Same with this one. The car is registered in Mexico. I asked the person that took the photo

Be A Designer: Here is the BMW 135i Coupe redesigned by you

True, a little bit :) I blame it on Andrei, he’s the expert. He did a great job and I’m proud of him, he just got a scholarship from Lamborghini at an Italian design school

I can say that I’m very glad you guys enjoyed this. The project has been unique, I don’t recall anyone doing this before and I have to admit, I was afraid it will fail in the beginning. But, with your help, input, it’s going strong.

What’s even more exciting is the fact that your input truly is valuable, the car has not turned out to be a “concept-like” or futuristic design, but rather a “doable” production model.

Of course, it’s easier for us, the BMW fans, to redesign the car based on what BMW did previously. It is much harder for the exterior designers to conceive the car from scratch, following the BMW design language and most important, the restrictive safety regulations.

Chris, I believe our end goal was NOT to resemble an M model too much. True, we did a more aggressive front-end, but stayed away from other M elements.

BMW Shows Off Their Future Heat Energy Recovery Technology

October 21st, 2009 at 1:51 am

I have a feeling they got that part covered :) It’s still great to see that automakers are pushing the envelope all the time. While some of the things we see or hear might not see the daylight, the research process can give some great ideas in the future.
