The BMW 7 Series is one of best designs from BMW offering superb performance with better economy. It does win sales because of its looks as well. The 7 Series buyer is always proud to own it and rarely has got anything to complain about this car. It is well equipped and engineered as per 21st century driver’s needs. The BMW 7 Series is a superb car to drive thanks to its steering abilities. It features new system Integral Active Steering which sees the rear wheels turn in and out to assist the steering at lower speeds and reduce the car’s turning circle.

The 7 Series is a top quality car constructed from sturdy materials. The attention to detail is to a high standard: subtle lights highlighting the door handles, the elegant flipping of the boot at the click of a button. BMW offers a choice of four petrol engines but most buyers are expected to opt for the 231bhp 3-litre diesel engine we tested. It powers the car from 0-62mph in 7.8 seconds through the six-speed automatic gearbox and can achieve a top speed of 149mph.

The BMW X6 comes with an 8 speed automatic that can be controlled by paddles on the steering wheel should you feel the need to make the gear changes yourself. However its BMW’s Dynamic Performance Control software that really allows this SUV to shine. The DPC senses the power and grip available to each wheel, and so when one starts to slip, power is automatically transferred to another wheel that has more grip.

From the outside the BMW X6 is certainly an imposing sight with its large 20 inch alloy wheels, powerful xenon headlights, and sleek coupe style body. This is a vehicle sure to stand out on the road, especially when you consider it is wider and longer than the more conventional BMW X5.owever it is also true to say that BMW has introduced a new type of 4×4 and created a stylish and smart looking vehicle, that despite its size and weight handles and looks more like the four door coupe that it was designed around than a standard SUV.

Taking a look at the plethora of impressive features present in the latest generation BMW M3, seven gear system, V8 engine with six speed manual gear box transmission system, light weight roof, electronic based damper control system, and advanced drive train system are amongst the top ones. The 32-valve, V8 engine of this car generates maximum output up to 420 hp/309 kW. The vehicle provides power either by means of M double clutch gear box or six speed manual gear box. It has been surveyed that BMW M3 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/ hr in just 4.6 seconds.

The noteworthy exterior features include free form M-oval design halogen, aerodynamic and heated BMW M power side view mirrors, rain sensing windshield wipers, anti theft brake system, and well shining color finishing on the vehicle body attracts its most of the buyers. The car is equipped with 12 speaker sound system for the entertainment of both driver as well as passengers.

BMW’s 330d is a turbo diesel straight six but it weighs 5kg less than before and produces 14bhp more, thanks to new 1800bar piezo-injectors and a variable vane turbocharger. It gets the 330d to 100km/h 0.6sec quicker than before, almost matching the 335d for outright go, yet it achieves 17.5kmpl and 152g/km. In fact, it accelerates with such vigour that you’d struggle to believe there’s a 335d above it. You will rarely catch it off guard so you can lunge horizonward in any gear, and it will really knock you out at motorway speeds in sixth. BMW shares with its new 7 series big bro atleast once BMW sorts out a traffic for the UK. And there’s a new safety system active head restraints should save your neck if you crash. It has six speed manual transmission and rear wheel drive. The total weight is 1610kg and price ranges to 26.2 lakhs. It is fully made up of steel.

Forget the golf and fiesta, this is the car you really want to know about. It’s been the best seller in the premium class for three decades so in many way’s it’s big story of the month. But what you’re looking at here is a mid life refresh rather than an all new car version 5.1 rather than MK6 so may be the actual story should be about the harm all this popularity may be doing to BMW’s status.
There’s Efficient Dynamics technology across the range five petrol, five diesel, so every 3-series now leads its class for economy and emissions six models sneak below 140g/km. Only manual four cylinders get the start/stop system, but every car gets brake energy regeneration, tyres with reduced rolling resistance, and on demand operation for air-con and power steering pumps. Spoilsport BMW’s saving the new seven speed dual clutch transmission for coupes and convertibles, so the mechanical headline for saloons and Tourings is the 330d’s new engine.
