2012 BMW M5 Review

This machine is one absolutely beautiful piece. From top to bottom, I consider this one of my favorite cars on the market in regards to looks. From the classic yet updated and intense BMW style of the body to the high luxury interior you’ve come to expect and the newly designed BMW wheels, this beast is making my mouth water.
All of that and my ever increasing heart rate aside, let us get to the meat of the issue.

BMW M5 Performance Rating

What do the stats on this black beauty look like? It was only a few months ago that this car was debuted and it’s already drumming up a lot of attention with what it is capable of. Under the hood you are going to find a 4.4-liter V8 engine and an M TwinPower Turbo package. This engine is going to provide five hundred and sixty horses, between six to seven thousand rpm with five hundred and two lb/ft of torque from fifteen hundred rpm. The 0 to 60 mph time is clocked in at 4.4 seconds and it is capable of reaching a blisteringly fast top speed of one hundred and ninety MPH. Wow.

BMW M5 Fuel Economy

The estimated fuel economy is still pretty impressive for such a monster of a car. With 28.5 MPG, this is not a gas guzzler and is actually something I wouldn’t feel bad about tearing around in and won’t eat my paycheck like an afternoon snack. Then again, if you have the money to buy a 2012 M5, you are not likely worrying about the cost of gasoline. All in all I am excited about this car and I would love to drive one to get a feel for the stability and balance. I want to see how those BMW wheels treat the road when that limiter is removed and I’m approaching top speed. I’m confident that BMW will not let me down.

BMW X1

Don't you wish there was a sportier, more compact and personal version of the BMW X3 SUV?  Wish no more:
The BMW X1 is the highly anticipated new baby SUV from BMW.

Lots of smaller cars feel smaller when you drive them. If there is one thing that BMW drivers love about their cars it's the way they are built. BMW build quality translates to a more robust driving experience and the satisfying heavy clunk of the doors when you open and close them. Smaller has never meant a downgrade in the sturdy way these cars look and feel. So, if you're hoping for a smaller, sneakier SUV without sacrificing that solid BMW look and feel, take a look at the BMW X1. Read the rest of this entry »

BMW Z3

The Original BMW Roadster in the Making

The BMW Z3 Review is is a matter of Bimmer opinion. The BMW Z3 was BMW’s first roadster but has been off the market since 2002 in favor of the Z4. BMW's Z4 is today's version of the original BMW Z3 Roadster.  The Z3 came on to the scene with a bang - it was introduced in James Bond’s Golden eye movie as the secret agent's getaway vehicle just a few months before being put on the market for the public.  Though the Z3 looks fast, only the upper model produced a great deal of horse power. Originally, the BMW Z3 came with only a 1.8 lt. engine which produced the acceleration thrill of a Nissan Sentra.  Since then, BMW has upped the performance quite a bit with a decent 2.8 lt. and eventually a more fitting, beefy 3.8 lt. engine that pushes out a whopping 321 horse power.  Over The years, the body styles changed a few times, including a coupe version which veered away from the fun, sporty style of the original roadster body.  Being the first car from BMW produced in the States in a South Carolina factory,  the Z3 was its lesser step child, but eventually came out as a winning, successful design as Bimmer lovers grew fond of its unmistakable BMW heart and soul. This BMW Z3 Review will bring some of the passion of this car to you. Read the rest of this entry »

BMW 330i Review vs. BMW 328i

The BMW 330i is a fairly significant step-up from the 328i, but with an insignificant price increase of only a few hundred dollars, depending on how it's equipped. For that extra coin you pay, you get a lot back in performance. For example you get six 496.5cc cylinders instead of six 465.5cc cylinders. The stroke increases from 84.6mm to 89.6mm. The 330i gives you 3.0 liter engine pumping out 225 hp at 214 pound-feet compared to the 328i’s 2.8 liter engine pumping out 193 hp and 206 pound-feet. In European countries, the BMW 330i is offered in a petrol or diesel engine. Over the last ten years there have not been any drastic changes to the engine other than small refinements and increased horsepower. The body style and interior of the 328 and 330i series have remained pretty much the same, giving the car long lasting appeal at practical used car prices. As you'll see in the BMW 330i Review, there is much more to offer. Read the rest of this entry »
