BMW makes 2.1% price increase official

BMW made it official today, after <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/21/bmw-bumps-its-prices-for-2009/">we told you about it</a> "unofficially" last week. As expected, the German automaker is raising prices across its model range an average of 2.1 percent for the 2009 model year due to "...significant structural and economic changes in the marketplace." Regardless, the direct price increase of vehicle MSRP doesn't tell the whole story. BMW has also increased pricing on popular options (the Sport Package is up $450 on the 335i sedan and coupe) and removed some standard features (the premium Logic 7 audio system is no longer standard on the 335i -- now it's an $875 option) driving the consumer's cost even higher than it initially appears. If that isn't bad enough news for those hoping to put a Roundel in their driveway, we are also hearing rumors that BMW's latest lease residuals and money factors aren't as sweet as they were over the summer. Check out all the pricing details in BMW's press release after the jump.

REPORT: BMW cancels development of E92 M3 CSL

Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/coupes/" rel="tag">Coupes</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/sports/" rel="tag">Sports/GTs</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/special-limited-editions/" rel="tag">Special/Limited Editions</a><a href="http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/Secret-new-cars/Search-Results/Spyshots/BMW-cancels-E92-M3-CSL/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/m3csl_cancelled.jpg" /></a> There were around 1,400 examples of the BMW e46 M3 CSL built, and by all accounts they were exceptionally well received. However, according to Ludwig Willisch, the boss of the automaker's M division, the current e92 M3 won't get the same treatment. He - or perhaps the accountants - feel that "based on current numbers, there is most likely insufficient demand for the M3 CSL." If a current scorching version of the e92 were to exist, it would have been bumped by anywhere from 36 to 56 horsepower, shed 200 pounds or more, worn some different tires and a set of bigger lungs. In light of the possible volume, though, which would be small, BMW - or again, its accountants - would rather focus on the X6 and X5 for now. Thanks for the tip, Mike!

Camping is for squares... the Mehrzeller Caravan Concept debuts in Dأ¼sseldorf

After the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/27/on-the-nautical-ropes-in-the-fiat-portofino-beach-car/">Fiat Portofino</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/27/lounge-on-deck-of-vw-caddy-topos-sail-concept/">VW Topos Sails</a> concepts comes something intriguing straight from the RV industry itself... with a little help from BMW. It's called the Caravan Concept and it's by a company in Europe called Merhzeller. Designed by Christian Freisling and Thersa Kalteis, the Caravon Concept is a traditional hitched travel trailer that's skinned inside and out with more polygons than a PS2 could process. The idea is that customers can custom design their trailer using an online "Konfigurator" so they get just enough geometric shapes to meet their needs. The only bit of warmth on the Caravan Concept is the wood floors, counters and table top on the inside, but other than that it's full blown Fortress of Solitude on wheels, and we like it. BMW is one of many sponsors behind the Merhzeller Caravon Concept, which also includes about three dozen European companies we've never heard of. Regardless, <a href="http://squob.com/travel_trailers/mehrzeller-polygon-camping/">Squob</a> reports that the trailer is building buzz in Düsseldorf, so there may be hope if you yearn to vacation in this 8-bit snowball. <div class="postgallery"><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mehrzeller-caravan-concept/">Mehrzeller Caravan Concept</a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mehrzeller-caravan-concept/1007001/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/000_polygontrailer_thumbn ail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mehrzeller-caravan-concept/1007002/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/001_polygontrailer_thumbn ail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mehrzeller-caravan-concept/1006995/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/002_polygontrailer_thumbn ail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mehrzeller-caravan-concept/1006998/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/003_polygontrailer_thumbn ail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mehrzeller-caravan-concept/1006999/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/004_polygontrailer_thumbn ail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div> [Source: <a href="http://squob.com/travel_trailers/mehrzeller-polygon-camping/">Squob</a>] <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/29/camping-is-for-squares-the-mehrzeller-caravan-concept-debuts/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1299439/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/29/camping-is-for-squares-the-mehrzeller-caravan-concept-debuts/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><hr />

BMW helping disabled vets get back behind the wheel

Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/lifestyle/" rel="tag">Lifestyle</a><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/24/automobiles/24VETS.html?pagewanted=2& _r=3&ref=automobiles"><im g hspace="4" vspace="4" border="1" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/disabled_vet_bmw.jpg" alt="" /></a>Kudos to the crew at BMW, who recently donated a few cars, a handful of instructors and one of its test tracks to an injured Marine training class. A group of soldiers wounded in Iraq were invited to the track to learn performance driving techniques behind the wheel of some seriously desirable machinery, including the 650i coupe on the right. The vehicles were modified in order to allow the disabled soldiers to operate them, some with hand controls for Marines who had lost their legs in battle. To operate the throttle, drivers pull back a hand lever and push forward to operates the brakes. Injured soldiers are provided with driver training after healing from their injuries. According to the Marines who attended the BMW training, though, the skills learned on the race track were much more thorough and will prove invaluable in their transition back to daily life.

BMW slashes V8 engine production in favor of fours

Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/green/" rel="tag">Green</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/plants-manufacturing/" rel="tag">Plants/Manufacturing</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a><a href="http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080901/ANA03/809010324"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/bmw_4-cyl_injin.jpg" /></a>The new BMW 7-Series has just stepped out from behind the curtain, and it's taken the stage to a house only half full. Demand for BMW's big engines has dropped so low that the house of the roundel says it can make enough 8-bangers to satisfy the world's demand using just one shift for four days. A member of BMW's supervisory board put it plainly: "We are producing the wrong engines here." Even the sixes, the center of BMW's engine constellation, are being taken out of production in Munich to be replaced by those with two fewer cylinders in 2011. When the phase-out is complete, the company will be able to build 560,000 4-cylinders per annum. Care for a BMW 716i, anyone?
