BMW Faqs

BMW decided to flaunt off and brag about their new diesel engines during the LA Auto Show. They stated that these diesel engines are a great alternative to hybrids in the U.S. like they are in other European countries. BMW had not planned to bring a diesel version of its 7-Series over to our fair shores – but we hear that its dealerships are urging them to.

They are now considering re-designing the range of 7-Series for 2009 and equipping them with a 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8. If this is successful we might see them expanding on this. We assume that they will start to import the diesel versions of the X5 utility vehicle and 3-Series with a twin-turbo six cylinder engine.

Investigators unearthed a 2000 BMW 740I buried in a giant hole in North Texas 12 feet underneath the ground. Special Agent with the National Insurance Crime Bureau Tommy Reed stated that by the looks of it was “in the ground for nearly two years. It was in bad shape.”

At first authorities noticed that the area was muddy and something did not look right about it. They brought in some machinery and workers and started to dig. Reed said that, “There was trash exposed. It was six to seven (feet) down, and we had to dig another four to five feet to get it out.”

The new BMW 7-Series is going to be given some much needed driving technology that you won’t find in most cars. The new technology is known as the second generation night vision technology. This new technology will give drivers the ability to detect humans on the road through the use of thermal imaging.

It will alert the driver of human impediments up to 100 meters ahead, and it won’t be confused by humans on the sidewalk. If a collision is imminent, a flashing warning triangle will appear on the screen and the heads-up display.
