New Alpina B6 Bi-Turbo with 507HP

For more than four decades now, German tuning house Alpina has been modifying BMWs cars. The Bavarian luxury carmaker has a tight relationship with the tuner going as far distributing the high-performance models through its official network.
Alpina's newest creation is the B6 Bi-Turbo Cabrio based on the latest 6-Series Convertible, which will make its world premiere at the rapidly approaching Frankfurt auto show on September 13.
At the heart of the Alpina B6 Bi-Turbo Cabrio is specially modified 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine capable of delivering 507-horsepower and a monstrous 700Nm (516.3 lb-ft) of peak torque delivered between 3,000 and 4,750 rpm.
Power is channeled to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic Switch Tronic transmission, with Alpina claiming 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 311km/h (193mph) with a combined fuel consumption of 10.9lt/100km (21.6mpg US) for the Convertible model.
In comparison, the factory 650i Convertible features a 4.4-liter turbo V8 producing 407HP and 600Nm / 443 lb-ft. It completes the standard sprint in 5.0 seconds while reaching an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph), and returning an average fuel consumption of 10.7lt/100km.
Along with the powertrain modifications, the Alpina flavored 6-Series Convertible gains the tuner's trademark multispoke alloy wheels plus carbon fibre trim bits, front apron and rear spoiler as well as bespoke interior parts.
The B6 Bi-Turbo Cabrio model will soon be followed up by the coupe derivative.

BMW Tops Competitors for 5th Consecutive Month

BMW continues to expand its lead in the US luxury car market against its main rivals Mercedes-Benz and Lexus. August was the fifth consecutive month in which the Munich-based carmaker was at the top spot with 20,815 deliveries, an increase of 6.5% compared to the same month of 2010.

On the contrary, Mercedes’ sales decreased by 1.9% in August, to 18,477 units while Lexus, which still suffers from the aftermath of the March 11 earthquake, dropped even more, by 7% to 18,103 cars. Thus, it is almost certain that,after 11 years at the top, Lexus will be relegated to second or perhaps even third place among luxury car manufacturers.

“This has been a very strange August for our industry, with both difficult news and unfortunate events –consumer confidence down and an earthquake, hurricanes and floods in the Northeast”, said head of BMW North America, Jim O’Donnell.

Despite this, BMW expanded its sales lead from the beginning of the year with a 12% increase, delivering 155,929 units. Its August sales were boosted considerably by the 41% increase in 5-Series deliveries and by the new X3, which almost tripled its sales, from 892 cars in 2010 to 2,382 this year.

Mercedes-Benz' year-to-date sales have also increased, albeit at half the rate (6.1%) to 148,409 units and Lexus, as we said, faced a sharp decrease of 17% to 120,652 cars.

Analysts, such as TrueCar’s Jesse Torpak, comment that the increased incentive spending has also contributed to BMW’s rise: “They are being aggressive: $299 a month for a 3-Series versus what you’re going to get for an Accord? Of course you’re going to get a BMW. It is selling down its inventory before offering a new version next year, as well as trying to secure the sales race victory over Mercedes.”

The new generation of gasoline engines: the delivery of dynamic power and excellent fuel economy through technology TwinPower BMW Turbo.

 

1.6-liter gasoline engine will make its debut in the BMW 116i and BMW 118i models, BMW TwinPower turbo technology with a twin-scroll turbocharger, the High Precision Injection, variable Valvetronic valve control and double-VANOS variable camshaft control.

La nuova BMW Serie 1 � disponibile attualmente in una scelta di due di ultima Generazione a quattro cilindri be a benzina e radicalmente rivisto cilindri quattro diesel.

This design is based on the multi-award winning 225 kW/306 hp six-cylinder in-line BMW Turbo TwinPower found in models like the BMW 135i and BMW 135i convertible. As this engine, the new four-cylinder units are part of the strategy of BMW EfficientDynamics design, which aims to continually improve driving pleasure while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

The design is inspired by the engineers of BMW experience in building high performance turbocharged engines. BMW 2002 Turbo, which was launched in 1973 with a four-cylinder, 125 kW/170 hp, was the first European production car should be equipped with an exhaust turbocharger, and is still considered a model for a compact, high-performance car engine. In 1983, the first turbocharged engine to win a world championship of Formula 1 Brabham BMW driven by Nelson Piquet.

The forced induction system of the new BMW 1 Series uses the principle of double roller with two separate channels in the exhaust manifold and the turbocharger itself, each serving a pair of two cylinders. This allows a more efficient use of pressure waves in the exhaust to drive the turbocharger, so typical of BMW mode the engine responds instantly to every movement of the accelerator. The output is also enhanced by the Valvetronic variable valve control that is fully integrated into the breech and double VANOS camshaft control variable on the intake and exhaust.

BMW's patented Valvetronic continuously adjusts the timing of the intake valves, which makes the engines before the accelerator obsolete. The amount of air needed for combustion is regulated in the engine itself, minimizing the loss of regulation of gas exchange and improve engine efficiency. The new engines are exceptionally fuel efficient, mainly due to the High Precision Injection. The fuel supply is precisely controlled magnetic injection valve with an injection pressure of 200 bar in the middle between the valves near the candle.

C'est la premi�re fois des moteurs that �quip� avec quatre sont cylindres TwinPower BMW Turbo, qui est un peu faible consommation d'ainsi fuel augmented the production. Dans les moteurs � aspiration normale, ne pouvait �tre m�me meilleur dans la mesure r�activit� in the augmentant capacit�, et donc la consommation et poids him fuel.

 

The new BMW 116i four-cylinder engine offers significantly improved driving performance compared with its predecessor. It is the power 100 kW/136 hp 4, 400 rpm and maximum torque of 220 Nm between 1 350 and 4 300 rpm. The car is 8.5 seconds, reaches 100 km / h on a permanent chassis, and a top speed of fuel consumption at 210 km / h. The new BMW 116i in the combined cycle is 5.5 to 5.7 liters per 100 kilometers, and its CO2 emissions are 129-132 grams per kilometer.

Evolutionary step forward: the turbo four-cylinder engine with turbo and fuel technology, BMW TwinPower more.

Four-cylinder engine of the new BMW 118i, which is all-aluminum crankcase, is a maximum output of 125 kW/170 hp 4800 rpm and maximum torque of 250 Nm between 1500 and 4500 revolutions per minute. And 'extremely sensitive to accelerate the car from 0-100 km / h 7.4 seconds and a top speed of 225 km / h. Increased efficiency is a combined fuel consumption of 5.8 to 5.9 liters per 100 km and CO2 emissions 134-137 grams per kilometer (EU test results, the variation due to differences between the tires).

These improvements are the final step in the success story of BMW four-cylinder diesel engines, which earned him the forerunner of the BMW 118d the title of World Car of the Year Verde.

 

Four-cylinder diesel in the BMW 118D is the maximum output is 105 kW/143 hp 4,000 rpm and maximum torque of 320 Nm between 1750 and 2500 rpm. It accelerates from 0-100 km / h 8.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 212 km / h. cyle combined fuel consumption is 4.4 to 4.5 liters per 100 km, CO2 emissions of 115-118 grams per kilometer (EU test results, the variation is due to differences between the tires).

The new entry-level BMW 116D has a maximum output of 85 kW/116 hp 4,000 rpm and maximum torque of 260 Nm between 1750 and 2500 rpm. It accelerates from 0-100 km / h in 10.3 seconds and a top speed of 200 km / h. cyle combined fuel economy is a good 4.3 to 4.5 liters per 100 km, CO2 emissions as impressive 114-117 grams per kilometer (EU test results, variations due to differences in the tires).

Advanced BMW EfficientDynamics technologies BMW 1 Series in a class by itself

La nuova BMW 120d Segna a great altro passo avanti, con una crescita di potenza su 5 kilowatts massima � di 135 kW/184 hp 4000 giri e coppia massima � da aumentato 30 Nm 380 Nm tra 1750 e 2750 giri al minuto.

BMW 528i Review

A white four-door sedan...the entry-level model of its series.

Doesn't sound exciting...but it all depends on what that sedan is. If you haven't recognized the photo yet, I'll let you in on the secret. It's the BMW 528i.

And it just may be the most perfect car on the road.

I've always enjoyed BMWs, but I've had three outright revelations while holding a steering wheel with a blue-and-white roundel in the center:

The first, at the tender age of 17, entrusted on a winding road in the Eastern High Sierra of California with a friend's older brother's 2002tii. 38 years later, that still stands as one of the best cars I've ever driven.

The second, in the early 80s, stepping into a 635csi coupe with a price tag of $40,000 (astronomical at the time) and thinking "no car is worth this", only to be convinced after 5 minutes in the foothills west of Reno that it was not only worth it, but that it was, in itself, a reason to go make that kind of money.

And the third, most recently,  a week in the Z4 sDrive35i, which has raised the bar for sporting two-seaters to a level I wouldn't have imagined.

And now, the fourth revelation. The new 5-Series.

It is, quite simply, the best sedan you can buy, regardless of price. However much more money you spend on something else, you'll be buying power or features, not excellence and value. Cars simply don't come more solidly built, more thoughtfully designed, more perfectly balanced than the 528 i.

The one we drove for a week, courtesy Chapman BMW in Chandler, Arizona , came box-stock...zero options. But on the 528i, standard includes a list of features that are extra-cost with most other cars, that is if you can find an 8-speed automatic transmission in another car. Electronic limited slip differential? Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS? Dynamic Brake Control? Dynamic Stability Control? Dynamic Traction Control? 17-inch alloy wheels with run-flat tires? Rain-sensing wipers? Fog lights? Power-adjustable, heated and folding outside mirrors?  All standard.

Not done. 10-way power adjustable driver's and front passenger's seat with four-way lumbar support and memory for the driver's seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors? Leatherette upholstery and dark wood (yes, real wood) trim? An AM/FM/CD/mp3 12-speaker (including 2 subwoofers) audio system with 205 watts of power, including HD radio (makes AM sound like FM and FM like CDs), prepped for satellite radio installation if you choose? Vehicle and key memory? Power moonroof?  Automatic climate control? Power tilt and telescoping steering wheel? Leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and cruise control functions? Bluetooth? iDrive? Tire pressure monitor? All part of the package.

And now the best part...you get to drive it, too. BMW has forever made the sweetest six-cylinder engines in the world, and the 3.0 liter DOHC inline 6 under the hood of the 528i is no exception. Velvety smooth and pulls like a freight train. Its 240 horsepower is more than adequate for brisk acceleration (as in 6.6 seconds zero to 60).  That's 10 horsepower more than last year's model, and it packs and extra 30 pounds per foot of torque, too (see "pulls like a freight train", above).

Handling is direct and intuitive. Within minutes on the road, the car becomes a direct extension of your hands and your brain. There's immediate, controlled response. Chapman BMW asked me to keep the miles on this one below 200, so I didn't have a chance to take a nice drive on a winding road like Northern Arizona's Oak Creek Canyon (linking the town of Sedona with I-17), but I have no doubt the 528i would have aced it and had me even more impressed.

Icing on the cake: Pairing the 3.0 liter 6 with an 8-speed automatic transmission pays off big in the EPA mileage ratings: 22 city/32 highway.

Yes, 22 city/32 highway. And it's a bigger deal than you think. It means the 528i gets better gas mileage than many small economy cars. Really. Here are a couple of examples from upcoming TireKicker reviews:

Scion xB: 22 city/28 highway.

Kia Sportage: 22 city/31 highway.

So what's it cost?

Base price: $45,050. For the one we drove, add delivery charges, tax and license and you're done. No $45,000 isn't dirt cheap. But go back and look at that list of standard features. Add those to your typical $30,000 sedan and you're at or past $45K in a heartbeat. And is that car as well-built, quick, superbly balanced and does it get 22 in the city and 32 on the highway?

This one's a winner. And it proves BMW is about more than status. There's major-league substance here. Every other automaker should be taking notes.
