For quite some time, BMW has stood fists up, ready to pounce on any other luxury contender that enters the ring. Now, the world's largest upscale automaker is adding more weight to its throws with a rapidly growing hybrid lineup. More specifically, BMW is doubling its eco-friendly contributions by churning out mild to full hybrid variants of its top-selling 3- and 5-Series sedans.
As many know, weight is everything these days. Most of the technology we encounter on a daily basis has become lighter, therefore faster and smarter. Phones, television sets, music players, computers...the list goes on. But what the average consumer often glides over is the role of weight in considering a new vehicle. That's why Autohaus BMW would like to take a minute to relay some of the heavy changes BMW is employing to make new BMW models even lighter.
Serving as the automaker's most popular model as well as the primary exhibitor of brand quality, the BMW 3 Series family is certainly under a lot of pressure. Autohaus BMW is pleased to announce that the lineup is not only keeping up with the demand but pushing its power even further. For the 2012 model year, the 3 Series will display a whole new collection of entertainment and performance features.
While out on the road, drivers talking with drivers via smartphones can be quite distracting and potentially dangerous. However, vehicles talking with vehicles could just save a life...or at least a few minutes of time out of your day. What exactly are we talking about? Allow Autohaus BMW to cut the confusion and explain.
Most of you might have heard the rumors circulating around that the beloved 3 Series Touring Wagon was to be discontinued here in the U.S. We at Autohaus BMW are pleased to announce that those rumors have been laid to rest.
BMW has recently denied the discontinuation of the 3 Series Touring wagon. While the wagon will land in European markets first, within the next year, it's slated to make its grand entrance in the U.S., shortly thereafter. And, get this: A diesel variant of the 2012 3 Series sedan is expected to make it to the…
There is one sports activity vehicle (SAV) that stands above the rest in terms of power. It is the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 equipped with a TwinPower turbocharged V8. Boasting 400 unbroken ponies of power, it's actually renowned as the most powerful hybrid worldwide.
Drivers in the U.S., however, only have a short time to rein in the rearing-and-ready-to-go ActiveHybrid X6. BMW has decided to stop selling the stereotype-breaking hybrid SAV in the U.S., for the 2012 model year.
Why are so many drivers in the Saint Louis area compelled to join the exclusive ranks of BMW ActiveHybrid…
The Frankfurt Motor Show didn't have a shortage of auto manufactures unveiling their EV's. However, BMW had a slightly different stance than others which impressed the public to say the least. We're talking about the new zero-emission, pure EV scooter by BMW.
Officially named the BMW Motottad Concept E. BMW has engineered it to boast 60 volts of pure-electric power and an impressive 60-mile driving range. With a charge time of just three hours using a standard 110-volt outlet, the Motattad can easily become an urban dwellers dream.
The bike is defined by neon-green side panels and…
It wasn't long ago when the LED headlight was what everyone was talking about. However, most automakers now use LED headlights. In some way they're losing some of their effulgence - at least in the eyes of luxury consumers who take pride in exclusivity.
Rest assured though, BMW is developing the next evolution of headlamp technology. What do we mean by this? BMW has started to explore bringing laser technology to car headlights.
As far-out as the projects sounds, it also makes a lot of sense. Sure, LED headlamps are tremendously effective at shining through pitch black and fog…
In an increasingly complex world it's becoming more difficult to focus on the task at hand. That's right we're talking about driving. Many of you who are reading this right now have most likely sent a text while driving. Hopefully, few of you are habitual offenders though.
To some of you offenders might seem like a strong word to use in this instance. But as you'll quickly learn, texting can be fatal and BMW is not shy about their anti-texting-while-driving stance. As they boldly state on their company website, "WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS THE TEXTING STOPS…
Not too long ago rumors began to circulate that BMW was creating an eco-friendly vehicle that boasted high performance and class. So can this combination really exist? BMW believes it can and to prove it they launched the "i" division that will be dedicated to eco-friendly vehicles. In preparing to officially launch the new i sub-brand, BMW recently premiered the pure-electric i3 concept in Frankfurt, Germany.
The new BMW i3 is engineered using BMW's design philosophy, "LifeDrive". What does this mean? Well, the "Life", or exterior of the car, is built using lightweight, exceptionally strong carbon fiber. The "Drive…
