the BMW X3 has been brought up to date , a new subtle look for the German Car .
No major modifications , just some work on the interior .

The engine is the same , a 3.0 l petrol and 2.0 and 3.0 diesel engines all in 4×4 drive

This is just a small revision , a new BMW X3 will be launched in 2009 and we can bet that it will look different

The new Z4 will go on sale at the end of 2009 but we can already tell it will be a keeper
It has a more aggressive look and what we have been waiting for , a folding metal roof . This model will be sold side by side with the soft top version.
If you want to talk power , the Z4 has power , there are many power-plants to choose from , a 3.0 l six cylinder engine and the highest model being the 4.0 l V8 engine
All Z4’s will be equipped with the new seven speed SMG DCT twin-clutch transmission developed by BMW.

Also on a different note BMW says that all the Z4 models will have a low emission rate and fuel economy (we can only hope but do we really want it ? )
Power is Z4’s middle name

Here are the official photos of the new BMW 7 Series

It may look like a normal supercar , a bit excentric but it is not . It is covered in a highly durable material that is controlled by hydraulics
It can take many forms , it is easy to change the shape of this car on the go
The GINA Concept should replace the Z4 in the near future . The only sad thing is that the fabric that is covering the car will not be on the final model . Maybe one day this car will be seen on the roads. Untill then let us look at the official presentation movie for the BMW GINA Concept car

BMW confirmed the production of the X1 . A small sport vehicle that can be called a utility vehicle too. Based on the BMW 1 Series it will be completed until 2010

The new small BMW will be built in Leipzig Germany (the plant that builds the 1 and the 3 Series)
The X1 will be smaller than the Mercedes B-Class

The new M3 is powered by a 4.2L V8 engine with 420hp . In terms of gearbox , clients can choose from a 6 speed manual and a 7 speed M DCT gearbox. This car is also green , it will have low emissions says BMW

Known as BMW S1000 RR. it will be the pride of BMW . Only 1000 will be produced , and they will all worth the wait and price.
It is expected to have about 190hp and at  190 kg weight it will have a great ratio

Soon we will all know the price of this great machine
