Over 11 minutes of BMW 1 Series M Coupe and E30 M3 hotness



bmw 1 series m coupe w e30 m3 450x298 Video: Over 11 minutes of BMW 1 Series M Coupe and E30 M3 hotness
The beauty of the BMW 1 Series M Coupe isn’t that the bean-counters let their best performance engineers have at the smallest car in the range. The real beauty is that the car goes back to the very roots of the M division, before the M3 went all V8 on us and took a hefty weight penalty in the process.
To illustrate the point, BMW took the new coupe out to the track, and brought along its spiritual predecessor, the original E30 M3. Fortunately for us, they filmed the encounter – all 11 and a half minutes of it. And while half of it is stock promotional footage, there’s a good few minutes of on-track action spliced in for good measure. Check it out in the video after the jump.

2012 BMW 1 Series coupe and convertible take a bow

BMW recently pulled the wraps off of its hot new 1 Series M Coupe, but this new addition to the automaker’s least expensive range isn’t the only changes on tap for the 2012 model year. Both the coupe and convertible versions of the 128i and 135i receive modest upgrades for 2012, including very, very slight styling updates and a new powertrain for the 135i.
Up front, 1 Series cars equipped with Xenon headlamps (optional on 128i, standard on 135i) receive a new horizontal LED eyebrow to complement the corona running lamps. Out back, newly tweaked taillamps use LED running lamps similar to those on the rest of the BMW product line. The 1 Series also gets a tweaked M Sport package that includes an aero kit (standard on the 135i), increased top speed limiter and more sporting suspension geometry. Additionally, M Sport cars are fitted with sport seats and M-branded interior trim components.
Much like its older brother, the 3 Series, the 135i is now powered by BMW’s N55 3.0-liter inline-six which uses a single twin-scroll turbocharger to produce 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. In addition to the standard row-it-yourself six-speed transmission, the 135i can now be had with BMW’s seven-speed DCT that first debuted in the Z4 roadster. Fitting this new engine means that the 135i Coupe can run to 60 miles per hour in five seconds flat with DCT and 5.1 seconds with the manual (add 0.3 seconds to those respective times for the droptop 135i). The base 128i continues to use the naturally aspirated 3.0-liter mill found in the outgoing model, rated at 230 hp and 200 lb-ft and paired with six-speed manual or Steptronic transmissions.

2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe gets early reveal

BMW hasn’t done the best job of keeping its 2012 1 Series M Coupe a secret. The hot new two-door isn’t scheduled to make its public debut until the Detroit Auto Show next month, but we’ve already seen dozens ofteaser images and videos. Heck, we’ve even driven a prototype.
Now, BMW has released video of the production-ready 1M with all of its swirly paper removed. Its bulgy, brash front end and wider stance certainly look the part of a serious baby brother to the M3, and while official numbers have yet to be confirmed, we’re indeed looking forward to flogging all 340-ish horsepower via a standard six-speed manual transmission.
Check out the video for yourself, after the jump, and stay tuned for the official details as they break.

10 million die of the English Department mindful of those cars!

Never mind that cars are frustrated Department of English aristocracy, read out the names of the time, most people would be excited - just like shining jewels in the Emerald, although no aggressive market impact, but a symbol of exquisite technique and elegance the identity of the British Department of cars in the car never really fallen out of favor over people's minds, let alone such as the MINI is not no love, goblins, or, as the Roewe that a gentleman of the People First emerging.

Bentley and Rolls-Royce: The lure of celebrity in the name of art

never mindful of those immortal English department car!

Bentley and Rolls-Royce car standard has a pair of wings, a symbol of speed and freedom at the same time, "B" and "R" of these two identity "Bentley" and "Rolls Royce" of the letters cents no doubt become a totem of fans hearts forever.

Since the first Rolls-Royce, a Bentley and the date of birth, their names were included in the ranks of the car of the Acura. In 2003, Bentley and Rolls-Royce officially belong to Germany's Volkswagen and BMW. At the same time positioning in the market, Bentley and Rolls-Royce has also made a subdivision.

Greater emphasis on driving pleasure of the English-style luxury Bentley to focus on those of young group of young wealthy, in the same time not forgetting the luxury to maximize stress the excellent racing tradition, outstanding performance and thunderous power.

The Rolls-Royce would be even more to win back a rich man who used to sit in their hearts. It is with the perfect quality of mission is the most traditional British classic repairer process, Snob temperament and the high price of it destined to only be very few people owned.

Fortunately, there are means to spend endless luxury of the rich, and perhaps that is what we do not worry too much about Bentley and Rolls-Royce will be a day of historical reasons. Facts have proved that China's rapid economic development, so that the two British car brands have excited the Department of reasons.

Since last year, China replaced Japan as the third largest market for Rolls-Royce. Last year, Rolls-Royce in China's market rose by 60%, sales in 2002 to 2005 the total sales volume; this year's production plans have been fully booked in 2008, the amount that can be scheduled to running out.

China's huge potential market has not only to attract top fashion brands, may I ask, what better than a Bentley or a Rolls-Royce worth reflects the masters of it? Clearly, the top car brands will be more able to meet the desire of the rich, not to mention that they not only spend money to buy a car, but also works of art.

Land Rover and MINI: the original Wild VS Fashion Wizard
never mindful of those immortal English department car!

English department car's name is always connected to a legend. Even after the fate of easy to master, nor change the English department's share of cars bones persist and integrity.

As the Land Rover's green cars marked "LAND-ROVER", as it gives the impression that "staunch", was in agriculture, once-invincible military Land Rover, from the current one, it seems quite too introverted of. Land Rover only in the intense, the reality of market competition to make changes in order to move on.

However, with the bottoming and other favorable tariff policy, the import of luxury SUV in the country has shown rapid development momentum. As China's largest import SUV, Land Rover sales in the first half of the total in China for the 2539, with the increase compared to same period last year 63%.
 
If we say that Land Rover is born and made for men, then the MINI is no doubt that all women dream of their own cars. Would like to thank BMW, MINI once again to shine. Price of about 300,000 is sufficient to buy a spacious atmosphere, high-class cars. However, MINI is more than just a car? It is simply chasing a dream of many young people.

In 2006, MINI sales in mainland China is 1200, growth of 145%; the first half of this year, MINI sales in mainland China has reached 131% year on year growth, a total of 776 sold. It can be predicted, MINI popular in China, the next few years will only increase the degree.

MINI status quo by making people realize: the British Department of cars like the sea treasures, explore the event of outstanding persons, connoisseurs and businessmen, they will again become hot.

Jaguar and Roewe: patiently cultivating Chinese gentleman
never mindful of those immortal English department car!


In contrast, Jaguar had looked very awkward position, at least in 2004, years after entering the Chinese market, the Jaguar by addition to cold, or cold. In China, be able to afford this level of car people would rather buy a BMW would be.

In most Chinese people's understanding of the car are very limited circumstances, eager to admire, and by car to win the admiration of people, apparently including women and children selected for the car brand, rather than the Jaguar.

Until 2007, Jaguar was just gaining momentum in the China market. Throughout the first half, total Jaguar sales in China reached 458, and only in a single month sales in June on the breakthrough 90, compared with the same period last year jumped 84%.

The reality is cause for optimism: the Chinese people become increasingly aware that the real Famous does not depend on well-known terms. No amount of money may not be able to Zachu grade.

In more middle class people's eyes, taste is a direct correlation with money to lose. Because a brand new car through the waves out of the Department of English, it is Roewe 750.

Some people say that although the Roewe 750 has inherited the British system car style, but the price is 20 tens of thousands of British cars have always been expensive and worth inconsistent. However, the fact that - Roewe 750 with more PFP price so that more Chinese consumers to experience up close the charm of the British department vehicles. This is commendable, because the Roewe will play the one who is not being optimistic about the "gentleman card", followed by a deep understanding of the automotive customers in China to talk about "a gentleman's touch" is really very risky, and good Roewe success.

From the market now, four months, sales break million, it seems there is no reason to question that one day, "Roewe" will become China's emerging middle class population of the beloved's name, its mission is to make people buy a car at the same time, acceptance A new way of life.

See United Kingdom Department of the car every hero in the now struggling to make moves, both insist on self, or the brave ice, are enough to make us feel shock. As they marked the wings of cars, like the British system has hit the big time car, that is, only Phoenix, bathed in fire and rebirth.
