<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em> <small>ATT Autotechnik Doppelturbo-Cabriolet - click above for high-res image gallery</small></em></strong></div> <br /> This is the problem: According to ATT Autotechnik -- the M3 Convertible is so good, why bother with any other 3 Series convertibles? And they have a point... until now! Meet ATT's new Doppleturbo-Cabriolet. What they've done is to take a regular BMW 335i convertible and make it quicker. How much quicker? <br /> <br /> The regular 335i is rated at 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque (though, of course, those numbers are underrated a bit). The Doppleturbo on the other hand makes 356 hp and 388 lb-ft of torque. A little less power than the M3 (414 hp) but nearly 25% more torque (the M3 makes just 300 lb-ft). You also get a stainless steel exhaust and big, good looking 20-inch, 20-spoke wheels (though some more brakes would be nice, at least visually speaking). But is it any good?<br /> <br /> Well, in the past we've seen BMW tuners do the whole less-horses-more-torques thing with good results. Anybody remember Alpina's take on the Z8? Essentially, rather than use the E39's high-strung 5.0-liter V8, Alpina bored out a 4.4-liter BMW V8 to 4.8-liters. The results were 375 hp (vs. 394 hp) and 383 lb-ft of twist (vs. 368 lb-ft) and according to all lucky enough to drive the car, a much preferable grand tourer to the "stock" car. Could ATT Autotechnik have worked the same magic with the Doppelturbo? Maybe.

REPORT: BMW M division pushing for hardcore version of next 1 Series
<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/sports/" rel="tag">Performance</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/hatchbacks/" rel="tag">Hatchback</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/bmw-concept-1-series-tii-1/#8"><em><strong><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/concept_1er_tii14.jpg" /></strong></em></a><em><strong><br />
<small>BMW Concept 1 Series tii - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em></div> <br /> Successive generations of the BMW M3 have come a long way since the original, with a skyrocketing curb weight and an ever-climbing price tag. The new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/09/video-bmw-m3-gts-takes-to-the-track/">M3 GTS</a> may have done a lot to counter the former, although sadly it only further escalated the latter. But enthusiasts take heart, because someone's on the case. Fortunately, that someone is Dr. Kay Segler, head of Munich's famous M division.<br /> <br /> According to reports, Segler and his team are pushing the beancounters to give them the authorization to make an M-tuned 1 Series. While the twin-turbo 135i is touted by many as a closer successor to the original M3 than the current M3, he feels there's more that can be done.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, Segler is talking about the next-generation 1 Series, so even if approved, it'd be a while before any future M-tuned 1 hits the road. If and when it does, however, it could take aim at the Audi S3 with a 330-horsepower version of the Bavarian automaker's new TwinPower engine. As for naming schemes, they may have to get a little creative to avoid confusion with the original M1 supercar.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-concept-1-series-tii-1/low/">BMW Concept 1 Series tii</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-concept-1-series-tii-1/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/10/concept_1er_tii08_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-concept-1-series-tii-1/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/10/concept_1er_tii09_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-concept-1-series-tii-1/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/10/concept_1er_tii10_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-concept-1-series-tii-1/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/10/concept_1er_tii11_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-concept-1-series-tii-1/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/10/concept_1er_tii12_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /> [Source: <a href="http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=20983 ">PistonHeads</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/18/report-bmw-m-division-pushing-for-hardcore-version-of-next-1-se/">REPORT: BMW M division pushing for hardcore version of next 1 Series</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:58:00 EST.

BMW's V8-powered 550i Gran Turismo starts at $64,725

<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><sma ll>2010 BMW 535i Gran Turismo - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em></div> <br /> With the introduction of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/BMW5SeriesGranTurismo/">BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo</a>, BMW has filled a previously unimagined niche and elicited plenty of controversy in the process. Regardless, the first GT to go on sale in the US is the V8-powered 550i and the cost of entry has been set at $64,725. However, in traditional German fashion, the tariff can grow rapidly with the judicious use of the option sheet. Here are couple of examples: opting for the duo of rear "sport seats" and sacrificing one of the rear seating positions will add $3,950 to the bottom line, while the sport package adds another $4,200. If you tick every box available, you're in for over $96,000.<br /> <br /> The 550i GT goes on sale in the States on December 5 with the 400 hp 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/21/first-drive-bmw-535i-gran-turismo-evolves-the-wagon-with-clever/">twin-turbo six-cylinder 535i GT</a> joins the party later but BMW has not yet committed to selling the diesel powered 535d Gran Turismo in the US.

BMW prices the ActiveHybrid X6 starting at $89,725

<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><sma ll>2010 BMW X6 ActiveHybrid - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em></div> <br /> For your hard-earned $89,725, you can have your pick of V8-powered BMW X6s. That substantial pile of dosh will secure you the keys to the Bavarian automaker's monster 555-horsepower X6 M or its new X6 ActiveHybrid. Unlike rival Mercedes-Benz which has opted to make its <a href="http://green.autoblog.com/2009/11/14/mercedes-benz-ml450-hybrid-launches-next-week-for-lease-only">ML450 hybrid available exclusive by lease</a>, BMW will sell the ActiveHybrid X6 outright to all comers, whoever they may be. Unlike most BMWs, the option list for the hybrid is relatively limited, although we suspect the folks at BMW Individual will be only too happy to customize one to your heart's content. <br /> <br /> During our <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/11/first-drive-2010-bmw-x6-activehybrid-is-technologically-impress/">recent first drive of the gas-electric version</a> of Bimmer's so-called "Sport Activity Coupe," we only saw 16 mpg in a test loop that consisted primarily of Miami traffic, a bit shy of official 17/19 mpg EPA estimates. Aside from the hood bulge and the wheels, there isn't much to visually distinguish the hybrid from non-M X6s, and with its still-considerable appetite for fuel, we have hard time seeing the value in ponying up nearly $90k for this vehicle - especially when you can get the giggle-inducing lunacy that is the X6 M for equal coin. <br /><br />Of course, a flawed value equation hasn't stopped many other vehicles we know from selling - especially ones sporting a green halo - but we'll find out if BMW has played their cards right when the X6 ActiveHybrid goes on sale beginning December 5. High-res gallery below, official press release with option pricing after the jump.<br /> <br /><br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-bmw-activehybrid-x6-first-drive/low/">First Drive: 2010 BMW ActiveHybrid X6</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-bmw-activehybrid-x6-first-drive/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/bmwx6hybridfd_01_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-bmw-activehybrid-x6-first-drive/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/bmwx6hybridfd_02_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-bmw-activehybrid-x6-first-drive/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/bmwx6hybridfd_03_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-bmw-activehybrid-x6-first-drive/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/bmwx6hybridfd_04_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-bmw-activehybrid-x6-first-drive/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/bmwx6hybridfd_05_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /> [Source: BMW]<br /> <strong><em><font size="1">Photos copyright (C)2009 Sebastian Blanco</font></em></strong><strong><em><font size="1"> / Weblogs, Inc.</font></em></strong><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/19/bmw-prices-the-activehybrid-x6-starting-at-89-725/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>BMW prices the ActiveHybrid X6 starting at $89,725</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/19/bmw-prices-the-activehybrid-x6-starting-at-89-725/">BMW prices the ActiveHybrid X6 starting at $89,725</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:28:00 EST.
