Semua ini berkat rancangan arsitektur LifeDrive berupa carbon passenger cell, yang memungkinkan BMW i3 Concept ini memiliki bobot sangat ringan, hanya 1.250 kilogram.

Mobil ini miliki empat tempat duduk serta bagasi dengan volume 200 liter, sangat cocok untuk mobil sehari-hari.

Revolusi desain
Reithofer mengatakan, mobil ini menandai pertama kali diluncurkannya satu kendaraan produksi yang sebagian besar bodi-nya berbahan karbon. "Ini adalah revolusi desain di dunia otomotif,” katanya.

Berkat penggunaan teknologi plastik yang diperkuat serat karbon (CFRP), mobil ini tampil dengan bobot lebih ringan dibanding mobil listrik konvensional. Selisih bobotnya yang mencapai 250 sampai 250 kilogram lebih ringan, memungkinkan mobil BMW i tampil lebih dinamis dan berjalan lebih jauh.

BMW i3 sanggup melesat dari posisi diam hingga mencapai kecepatan 100 kilometer per jam hanya dalam waktu delapan detik. Dan dengan sebuah high-speed charger, pengisian baterai hingga 80 persen dapat berlangsung hanya dalam satu jam.

Sementara itu, BMW i8 Concept merupakan mobil hybrid plug-in dengan output 260 kW dan sanggup menempuh jarak 35 kilometer dengan mode listrik. Mobil ini sanggup mencapai kecepatan 100 kilometer per jam dari posisi diam hanya dalam waktu kurang dari lima detik, dengan konsumsi bahan bakar kurang dari tiga liter untuk menempuh jarak 100 kilometer.

Mobil ini dibekali mesin beperforma tinggi dengan kapasitas 3 liter. Sebagai mobil sport, BMW i8 sanggup melesat dengan kecepatan maksimum 250 kilometer per jam.

"Mobil sport generasi terbaru ini dapat memuat empat penumpang," kata Reithofer.

BMW i3 dan BMW i8 akan diproduksi di pabrik BMW di Leipzig, Jerman. BMW telah menyiapkan investasi awal sebesar 400 juta euro atau sekitar Rp4,9 triliun untuk mendirikan bangunan dan menyiapkan fasilitas baru pada 2013.

Dengan produksi kedua model tersebut, maka 800 lapangan kerja baru akan tercipta. Proses produksi mobil ini menghasilkan CO2 dalam posisi netral, dan akan menggunakan materi dan bahan-bahan yang terbarukan. Bahkan perusahaan ini tengah melakukan penelitian kemungkinan membangun sendiri turbin angin di samping pabrik.

Paris 2010 : BMW X3 is new yet familiar

BMW has whisked the sheets off its 2011 X3, and the second-generation crossover looks suspiciously like its predecessor. Beyond a seemingly endless parade of spy shots over the last couple of years, that’s predictable, as the Spartanburg-built X3 has been a considerable sales success for the German automaker.
While the sheetmetal stays largely the same, the lineup receives new engines and an eight-speed automatic gearbox that’s set to spread like kudzu throughout the automaker’s offerings. The X3 also becomes the first model in BMW’s growing X franchise to adopt electric power steering (the automaker’s controversial variable sports steering rack is optional), as well as optional Damper Control and Dynamic Drive Control (as seen on its range of sedans and sports cars).
In addition to the new sheetmetal, BMW promises added rear seat room, addressing one of the vehicle’s key shortcomings for the North American market.

Power will come from BMW’s Twinpower Turbo (Bimmerese for twin-scroll turbo) inline six-cylinder engine that gives the XDrive35i model 306 brake horsepower at 5,800 rpm with max torque of 295 pound-feet of torque at just 1,300 rpm. That’s good enough for a 0-62 mph time of just 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 152 mph, though it’s not clear if that figure will be governed when it reaches us Yanks. An entry-level xDrive28i model will also receive I-6 power, with 240 hp and 230 pound-feet of torque. Naturally, diesel mills will also be available in other areas of the globe, but as of yet, BMW officials haven’t committed to bringing an oil burner to the States. The gas model, however, should be in showrooms before year’s end.
Check out our gallery of live shots below, and hop the jump for the official press release.

2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe gets early reveal

BMW hasn’t done the best job of keeping its 2012 1 Series M Coupe a secret. The hot new two-door isn’t scheduled to make its public debut until the Detroit Auto Show next month, but we’ve already seen dozens ofteaser images and videos. Heck, we’ve even driven a prototype.
Now, BMW has released video of the production-ready 1M with all of its swirly paper removed. Its bulgy, brash front end and wider stance certainly look the part of a serious baby brother to the M3, and while official numbers have yet to be confirmed, we’re indeed looking forward to flogging all 340-ish horsepower via a standard six-speed manual transmission.

Series 1 M Coupe!

As Jeremy Clarkson might say... I think I'm having a crisis! What a cool car, a 1 series M!!!!
