BMW news

[Boosted Euro]

I get E-mails from Beemer Post on new stuff coming out so I figured maybe I'll make a thread and try to keep updating it. If anyone else has something similar for a different brand you could do the same.

Anyone else is welcome to add anything BMW related in here also.

World'sFirstLookatBMW F32 3series/4series Coupe!




We're thrilled to post the world's first photos of the F32 3 series (or 4 series) coupe! Despite the heavy camouflage you can see a very sleek and sporty design. As usual for BMW coupes, there are frameless windows and a B-pillar for structural rigidity. There's a lot of camouflage around the rear windows so the shape of the window or the famous Hofmeister kink can't be made out yet.

We expect the F32 to get the same engines as the just-unveiled F30 3 series sedan, i.e. the 4-cylinder turbo engine in the 28i and the 6-cylinder turbo 35i. As the F32 is supposed to take on a more upmarket image than the F30, perhaps BMW will offer a higher output for the 35i. Just speculation for now however.

Another uncertainty at this point is the model designation. We've reported before about rumors hinting at BMW considering a rebadge for the F32 Coupe and F33 Convertible as 4 series models. There's no final word on this but the chances of BMW actually going with the 4 series moniker are fairly big. As you can see, these are very early spyshots, so the F32 has much testing to go. We expect the F32 to hit dealer showroom floors no earlier than Autumn 2013.

Stay tuned for more spyshots and information: http://www.bimmerpost.com/3-series/f30/

BMWF30 3 Series MSport Info and Photos




Athleticism is inbred in the new BMW 3 Series. Those looking for even greater dynamic character will find just what they require in the M Sport package, including many extra equipment items. Discover its benefits – from the third quarter of 2012 at your BMW Dealer’s.

The M Sport package with its innovative equipment features is based on the athleticism of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan with Sport Line and turns to the BMW M3 for its appearance. One constituent is the M Sport suspension lowered by ten millimetres with stiffer spring and damper settings as well as harder stabilisers.

Its dynamic character is emphasised by the exclusive M Sport body colour of Estoril Blue metallic, a special aerodynamics package with numerous body components, chromium exhaust pipe finishers, modified suspension settings and M Sport light-alloy wheels with a diameter of 18 or 19 inches. Front and rear bumpers, sill covers in body colour and a striking diffusor insert in Dark Shadow Metallic on the tail underline the sporting character of the M Sport package, exploiting its visual effect to the full.

On the inside, the M Sport package includes the M leather steering wheel with multifunction including short-shifter gear lever (for manual transmission) in soft leather nappa with M emblem and sports seats. The seat covers are in a characteristic fabric-Alcantara design. In addition, there are three further leather finishes.

The decorative surface is designed in Aluminium Hexagon with blue accent trim strip. The M emblem decorates the entry sill and footrest.

The M Sport package – made-to-measure ingredients for true sports enthusiasts.

Yea buddy! I get the bimmerpost updates too. I check them and first thing when I get to work haha. I could go on and on about all the new products and updates going on right now. BMW is doing big things again. The new F30/80 3er & m3 are looking good - the Msport package is a refreshing change from the blah everyday looking 3s of the past few years the 1M is a car weve realistically been waiting for since 89 and F10 M5 is pure sex!

Nice, well if I miss something feel free to add it here.

Not feeling the look of that F32 at the moment , looks to mustang'ie . But they hide extra fat under the wrap to distort the shape so its hard to say.

I was reading the other day that the 135 is going to a single turbo set up . If I come across an article or if someone knows of one post it up.

[Th3Juggernaut]

I keep seeing articles about the next m5 supposed to be real nice shiz, turbo v8 560hp, 25% better mpg...only about 90k, lol

[datsunpilot]

The 135i was only the N54 twin turbo for 08 and 09 model years then they went to the N55 single turbo set up through the current models. The N54 was brought back out to be used again by the M Division for the 1M because of its power potential.

Goes to show how much I stopped paying attention once I got rid of my M..lol my buddy who works at BMW , the guy with the pantera that was on a couple cruises. He said the n54 had a big issue with gunking up valves . I just said I guess I have en excuses to run water meth..lol but that may have been part of the reason they switch to the n55

[HoonED]

you should probably open up the old GM/ ford/ can't remember how many other useless make threads i made

i think most turned to #!#!#!#! shows


good idea though

[datsunpilot]

Yea the water meth is a common bolt on for the N54/5 right now because they havent come up with a daily driver type way to over come fueling issues - it runs a high pressure fuel pump for the direct injection so that part of the cookie hasnt been crumbled yet in the aftermarket world. Right now its tough to break the 500hp mark due to a lack of fuel. Your avg walbro just doesnt pump out the needed 1300-1700 psi needed at the squirters.

The colors amazing

Yea, I was thinking that. But I think they all turned to sh(t shows because you named them . Ford sucks, VW sucks , and so on ..lol

[Kevinoffroad4x4]

The fuel pump is Mechanical .It is only fed with a electric pump . A electric pump looses flow when you increase the pressure . Mechanicly driven pumps are not current limited. I have used VW parts to mod a Mazda speed pump. I will have to see what type of pump the BMW uses.
