BMW Faqs

BMW’s dual clutch transmission sounds like a complicated piece of equipment and it is. The dual clutch transmission was built in Munich and the people are not the only one who have had problems using it. BMW itself had a difficult trying to figure it out the first time they tried.

But they did manage to figure it out or they would never have installed it in their latest generation M3. However, that doesn’t mean that many consumers will understand what it means. BMW has now issued a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that the problem with the DCT is that it makes it hard for hard braking. The transmission was built to initiate a multi stage downshift when braking and this can cause the car to stall.

Brabgam Racing is taking on the challenge of making the BMW M3 into something bigger and badder. Those who are familiar with racing will recognize this name and know that Brabgam was one of the biggest names in the racing world.

The company was founded by Australian F1 driver Jack Brabham in 1960. The company was strong and successful until 1992 when it went bust from financial liabilities. But before that happened they managed to win the F1 drivers’ title four different times and also the constructor’s crown twice. Brabham’s 1966 title is the only championship that was won by a car using its driver’s name.

Executives from BMW and Ford are in the middle of talking about how Ford will sell Volvo to the German automaker. The executives have denied any talks so at this time this is still a rumor.

Marc Hassinger – spokesman for BMW – denied that the two companies were talking and having “talks or preliminary talks” about Volvo. However, it is possible that they are covering the talks up until more details have been discussed and are in place. This isn’t the first time the two have gotten together.
