Four-door sedans with downwardly sweeping roof lines started it off a few years back. Sleek “coupelike” styling is all the rage lately and has been adopted by crossover SUVs, of which the BMW X6 is a prime example. Of course, the X6 still provides an enjoyable driving experience in the BMW manner, buttoned-down suspension and communicative steering further attest to its lineage. But there’s just no escaping how big and heavy the X6 [...] BMW Group sales up 15.9% year-on-year Audi sales rose 18.5%. German carmakers posted a leap in monthly sales for June as demand in home markets continued to pick up and sales surged in emerging economies. A car industry group said; Germany’s car market was set for further growth in the second half of the year following a 10% increase in unit sales in June. BMW sold 15.9% more cars in June year-on-year and recorded the highest level of monthly sales ever. The carmaker sold 165,855 vehicles in the month of which 134,432 were of the BMW brand. Year-on-year this represents [...] German luxury car brand BMW will consolidate its market position by extending presence in tier-II and III Indian cities over the next one-and-a-half years. BMW India President Andreas Schaaf said, the dealership base of the company will be enhanced from existing 24 facilities to 40 in the next one-and-a-half years. Schaaf who commissioned BMW’s Goa facility at Verna said the company intends to drive into smaller towns from its current thrust on the auto markets like Delhi and Mumbai. “Further, we aim to have 60 facilities by 2015.” Schaaf said, the company gets 70% of its total sales from Delhi [...] BMW sticks with its successful formula for the 2012 M5. The BMW M5 is arriving with turbochargers and can deliver 30% better fuel economy than its predecessor, while boasting 10% more power and 30% more torque. For now BMW has released information only on the European model and it’s almost identical to the M5 that will bow in the U.S. The new fifth generation M5 finds motivation in the form of a twin-turbocharged, direct-injected 4.4-liter V-8. In American specification the engine provides 555 hp from 6000 to 7000 rpm with 500 lb-ft of torque delivered all the way from 1500 [...] Wish for the Jaguar of sport-utes? That’d be a Range Rover then. And it will be for another four years until Jag develops its own SUV. The reports of a Jaguar ute come as the most recent phase in a veritable attack of new products planned for the Coventry marque, which have incorporated a new diesel four, all-wheel drive for the XJ sedan, a 3 Series competitor in addition to an XFR-S super sedan. The SUV would of course borrow a lot from its sister brand Land Rover, but so as to differentiate itself, would come in a more road-focused [...] According to the Autoweek reports BMW is looking forward to add yet one more compact SUV to its listings. Known as X4, the vehicle is supposed to take over a few prompts from the big-brother X6 in both its design and driving distinctiveness. The report states that premature concept sketches demonstrate the SUV as having the same standing edge and lengthy, curving roof line as the main X plus a very similar angled rear hatch. Obviously, nothing’s confirmed at the moment, so the X4’s outward show may well change significantly by the time it comes in the picture in 2014. There [...] BMW joined the luxury sport utility vehicle ranks in the 2000 model year with its car-based X5, challenging midsize SUVs from Infiniti, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz. The 4.8is has a 355-horsepower, 4.8-liter V-8. Some previously optional items became standard in 2005. Automatic climate control became standard in the 3.0i, and the 4.4i added front and rear obstacle detection. Xenon headlights, which are standard with V-8 power, are linked to the steering mechanism. Seating for five people features a high position for the driver and a 60/40-split, folding rear seat. The driver faces a familiar red-lit BMW dashboard. Leather upholstery is standard in [...] |
