Spied: BMW M3 Sedan facelift... already?

Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/spyphotos/" rel="tag">Spy Photos</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/sedans/" rel="tag">Sedans/Saloons</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a><a href="http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=142999"> <img alt="" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/m3sedanfacelift.jpg" align="right" vspace="4" border="1" /></a>When the BMW M3 sedan made its debut, we knew based on its two door counterpart,'s performance that it would be fast. But this is one bit of ground we didn't anticipate the V8 super-sedan would cover quite so quickly: Barely on the market already, the M3 Sedan is getting a facelift.
 
 
The revisions, of course, will be minor, but spy shots like the one above suggest that, in addition to the new tail lights being fitted to the regular four-door 3-Series, the M3 Sedan is expected to get some new LEDs up front. Other minor changes will be made to the rear, including a modified rear bumper and diffuser, along with a few updates to the interior. We won't be complaining, just as long as it's as fast as the existing model.

Audi and BMW to utilize 8-speed gearboxes to take on Lexus

As <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/14/next-gen-bmw-7-series-to-get-8-speed-automatic/">we reported last month</a>, it appears BMW and Audi, following the lead of Lexus, will begin to offer eight-speed automatic transmissions in their flagship models. Sources are now saying the transmission will be supplied by ZF Friedrichshafen, a familiar German supplier to both marques. Although we don't know all of the specifics, Audi is expected to debut the new slushbox in the range-topping <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/07/2008-audi-a8-gets-subtle-tweaks-new-features/">A8 sedan</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/04/2007-audi-q7-4-2-in-the-autoblog-garage/">Q7 SUV</a>, and their future <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/08/going-odd-audi-a7-renderings/">A7 premium model</a>. BMW will likely debut the new gearbox in their premium <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/15/bmw-expands-7-series-with-exclusive-editions/">7-Series sedan</a> and the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/11/first-drive-2009-bmw-x6-xdrive35i-and-xdrive50i/">X6 Sport Activity Vehicle</a>, according to company sources.
The current Audi A8 and BMW 7-Series both use six-speed automatics. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class utilizes a seven-speed automatic of their own design, while Lexus debuted their <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/08/lexus-ls-460-world-introduction-part-i/">eight-speed transmission in the LS 460</a>. Increasing the number of forward gears offers advantages in smoothness, acceleration, and improves fuel efficiency. Lower fuel consumption equates to reduced emissions, helping the powerful models meet increasingly stringent air quality standards in Europe and the United States.

AC Schnitzer does the 1-series cabrio

In typical AC Schnitzer fashion, the German tuner wasted no time getting to work on the new BMW 1-series cabrio. Then again, it didn't take much effort to port over the work AC did for the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/bmw-135i-gets-schnitzered-360-hp-acs1/">standard 1-series coupe</a> to its softer, drop-top sibling. The ACS1 Cabrio package includes all the Schitzerfied exterior elements (new front bumper, rear bumper with diffuser and side skirts) and interior bits (silver carbon fiber trim, aluminum pedal and shifter, etc.) you'd expect. More importantly, AC is offering tuning packages for every model in the 1-series lineup, including the 135i, 120d and 123d. The two diesel mills get a bump in power to 200 hp and 240 hp respectively, with the 135i outputting 360 hp through the use of a revised exhaust and some ECU tweaks. Naturally, AC is offering up a plethora of wheel options, sized from 17- to 19-inches. <div class="postgallery"><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ac-schnitzer-acs1-bmw-1-series-cabrio/">AC Schnitzer ACS1 BMW 1-series cabrio</a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ac-schnitzer-acs1-bmw-1-series-cabrio/793606/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/01_acs1_cabrio_thumbnail. jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ac-schnitzer-acs1-bmw-1-series-cabrio/793614/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/02_acs1_cabrio_thumbnail. jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ac-schnitzer-acs1-bmw-1-series-cabrio/793611/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/03_acs1_cabrio_thumbnail. jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ac-schnitzer-acs1-bmw-1-series-cabrio/793612/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/04_acs1_cabrio_thumbnail. jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ac-schnitzer-acs1-bmw-1-series-cabrio/793609/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/05_acs1_cabrio_thumbnail. jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div> [Source: AC Schnitzer] <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/07/ac-schnitzer-does-the-1-series-cabrio/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1189077/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/07/ac-schnitzer-does-the-1-series-cabrio/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><hr />

2011 twin-turbo'd BMW M5 to produce 550 hp

Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/sedans/" rel="tag">Sedans/Saloons</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/BMW-5-Series/232600/#"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/7588123515_250-op.jpg" /></a>It's no surprise that BMW plans to attempt to bring its uber-saloon up to AMG-levels of power when the new M5 debuts in 2011. That means that output needs to surpass the current model's paltry 501 hp, so BMW will bore out the current V10 to 5.5-liters, slap on a couple of turbos and use direct-injection to bringing power levels up to 550 hp, or more. Grunt will be shoveled to the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual transmission or the new seven-speed M DCT dual-clutch 'box. But it's not all about pavement-pummeling power. The use of the twin-turbochargers and DI is as much an attempt to reduce emissions as it is to boost output, and BMW is intent on making the next 5-series, due out in 2010, one of its most fuel-efficient vehicles. That means that start-stop technology will be used on the engine, along with its Efficient Dynamics system that uses regenerative braking to reduce load on the alternator, improving both fuel economy and engine output.

Man moons speed camera, fine won't be so funny

Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/suvs/" rel="tag">SUVs</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/etc/" rel="tag">Etc.</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/uk/" rel="tag">UK</a><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/bare-butt.jpg" />There are times in everyone's life when you have an idea that sounds brilliant when explained in the audience of friends, but in practice is "exposed" as pure idiocy. The passenger of a BMW X5 gave a Cramlington, UK speed camera an uncensored view of his backside in an obvious attempt at humor, but in the end (no pun intended) the stunt could result in some hefty fines. Since local authorities weren't amused by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braveheart">Bravehear t</a> salute, the passenger could receive tickets for public indecency and for not wearing a seat belt. Well, that is if the driver is willing to rat on his or her offending comrade. While we admit this is kind of funny at first blush, mostly because we never before noticed that a BMW grille looks a little like a human butt, mooning a speed camera is stupid for a couple reasons. First, it's not cool to expose yourself in public. That's the kind of thing that will get you on a sex offender list if you're not careful. Second, speed cameras are really good at taking pictures of cars, giving authorities the plates of the vehicle as they pass through intersections. Third, and perhaps most important, why would the owner of a Bimmer want someone to press their bare ass up against their windshield? Lets just hope someone remembered to sanitize the soiled glass. Thanks for the tip, everyone!
