When
it comes to finding a great sport sedan, the automotive market is like a
massive haystack. With this truth, it is
very difficult to find a needle in the mass of look-alikes, wannabes, and
distractions. So, with so many options
is it even worth finding the one real golden needle among all the strands of
hay? Of course! Moreover, fortunately for you, your search
through the stack has finally paid off in finding that needle! Your new Carbon Black Metallic 2008 BMW 550i
with Navigation, M Sport Package, Comfort Access System, Rear Sunshades, Active
Steering, Active Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Logic 7 Sound, IR
camera, and Satellite Radio is truly a rare gem. Its vast array of unique options set it apart
from not only other brands on the road, but even from its other 550i
brethren. From its rare black headliner
to its enviable active cruise control, this is just the car to separate you
from other cars on the road and their drivers.
You will be a standout not just because of your beautiful car, but also
because of how much you saved buying wholesale.
Let us see just how spectacular your new 550i is!
EXTERIOR:
Your 550i looks great clothed in CARBON BLACK METALLIC paint. At a quick glance, the color looks like a
shimmering black, but with closer inspection, you can see gorgeous dark blue
undertones. Under the hood of your new
BMW, you will find the 550i's claim to fame: a 4.8L DOHC V8 engine with 360
horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque. You
will love the sound of the roaring engine with each press of the gas
pedal. Despite all that ability, your
BMW still gets a remarkable 22 highway MPG!
As part of the M sport package, upgraded 19" M sport wheels are wrapped
in Bridgestone Potenza tires (in excellent shape) look great on the car.
INTERIOR:
The outside of your car is incredibly remarkable, but what about inside? The interior is outfitted in clean black
upholstery complemented by bamboo wood trim and rare black headliner. The 20-way power sport front multi-contour
bucket seats feel comfortable and and can be adjusted to fit you
perfectly. To ensure that everyone in
the vehicle will be comfortable, there is tri-zone automatic climate control
with auto air circulation and other great functions. One of the nicest features of the vehicle is
the BMW iDrive system with on-board computer.
With the built-in factory navigation system, you can easy get
turn-by-turn directions to just about any destination. Also housed in this unit are on-screen visual
controls for the climate, car options, and entertainment. The upgraded Logic 7 BMW stereo with graphic
equalizer includes AM/FM/Satellite radio stereo with CD player and changer and
MP3 capabilities sounds great through the ten speakers and two subwoofers. The Lane Departure Warning system is activated
with just the push of a button on your steering wheel. As you drive, the car will monitor your
driving and the steering wheel will vibrate to let you know if you begin to
drift from your lane. This is a great
safety feature, especially on longer trips.
You will love utilizing the Comfort Access System for keyless entry and
start. The car will detect the key in
your pocket or purse and allow you to enter the car and start it without ever
taking out the key!
In
addition, your BMW Night Vision provides a new dimension of optical perception
when driving at night. A thermal imaging
camera detects human beings, animals, and objects in front of the car before
they become visible to the human eye in the headlights. The image generated by the system is
transmitted to the central Control Display within the car presenting objects
detected with increasing brightness as a function of the heat detected by the
camera -- and therefore making human beings and animals particularly
conspicuous.
The thermal imaging camera covers a range of up to 300 metres or almost 1,000 feet ahead of the car. BMW Night Vision therefore offers the customer particular benefits when driving over land, down narrow lanes, through gateways leading into courtyards, and into dark underground garages, significantly enhancing driving safety at night. |

BMW M235i in circuit scrap with legendary E46 M3 CSL
Fri, 25 Apr 2014Earlier this month, we brought you news that BMW's one-year wonder, the 2011 1 Series M Coupe, is actually trading for more money today than it did when new. That sort of short-term appreciation is a major rarity with modern production cars, but apparently it's not the only BMW enthusiast coupe to enjoy far-above-average residual values. The not-for-North America 2004 M3 CSL, itself a single-year offering, apparently also fits that description, as we've just learned from Auto Express.
The M3 CSL ruled overseas BMW showrooms a decade ago, with just 1,400 examples built. Based on the well-regarded E46 M3, the rare two-door was relieved of extraneous bits for improved track work and driver fidelity, coming in at around 240 fewer pounds than a garden-variety M3. With carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic bodywork, thinner glass and a lot less sound insulation, the CSL was one of the more raucous cars of its day. Like the 1M Coupe, it was also one of the more connected cars of the era, with a retuned suspension, quicker steering, and a bit more power than its brethren.
As Auto Express points out, a good used one commands about the same money as a brand-new 2014 M235i - the closest thing BMW makes to a 1M Coupe today - which makes this video track battle an interesting new-versus-used showdown. According to AE, a well-sorted used M3 CSL will run UK consumers anywhere between £30,000 and £35,000 - roughly $50,000 to $59,000 US. That's a massive premium over the $10k-17k British buyers can expect to shell out for a comparable standard M3, similar to the story that plays out for the 1M versus lesser 1 Series variants.
BMW reveals new X5 Security Plus in Moscow
Thu, 21 Aug 2014A major player in the Russian market, BMW is heading to the Moscow Motor Show this month with a slew of local debuts... most of which we've already seen. But among all the new models making the trek from Bavaria to Moscow will be the new X5 Security Plus.
In a new-model launch that will surprise exactly no one, BMW's latest armored vehicle upgrades the X5 with enhanced protection for oligarchs against Chechen rebels, AK47-touting gangsters and missiles randomly falling on Crimean highways. Now meeting the VR6 standard of ballistic protection, the new X5 Security Plus incorporates reinforced bodywork, seats and joints, along with bulletproof glass.
Of course all that reinforcement (not to mention the jars of beluga caviar and bottles of Stoli in the glovebox) will come with a weight penalty, but the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 ought to do the trick, driving 450 horsepower through BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system to get the vehicle's occupants out of a war zone in a hurry.
BMW Motorrad celebrates 90 years with new R nineT roadster [w/video]
Wed, 16 Oct 201390 years is a heck of a long time by any standard, and as good a cause for celebration as we've ever seen. That's how long BMW has been making motorcycles for, and it's celebrating with the retro cafe racer you see here - as promised and previewed.
Dubbed the R nineT (for 90 years), the latest product from BMW Motorrad traces its roots back to the original 1923 BMW R 32. And like the original, it's powered by a boxer twin - in this case, a 1,170cc air- and oil-cooled unit delivering 110 horsepower and 88 pound-feet of torque. All that muscle is packed into a classically-styled roadster that looks ready to line up next to a Moto Guzzi Griso, Triumph Thruxton or Ducati SportClassic.
The neo-retro styling drapes a unique tubular steel spaceframe chassis that uses the engine as a stressed member. The inverted telescopic front fork is borrowed from the S 1000 RR superbike and a paralever swingarm with spring strut suspends the rear. That's where you'll find a removable rear pillion for an extra passenger and dual tailpipes mounted on the left side, swappable for a titanium Akrapovic exhaust - just one of many customization options BMW Motorrad is offering for the R nineT.
