BMW X3 News

The BMW X3 is a great alternative for sport sedan shoppers who desire just a bit more utility from their compact luxury vehicle. As is typical for a small luxury crossover SUV, the X3 offers a high seating position, all-wheel-drive traction, solid build quality and abundant equipment. However, it goes a few steps further with sweet six-cylinder engines and above-average handling one wouldn't normally expect from an SUV.
Now in its second generation, the current BMW X3 is a greatly improved vehicle but it also has significantly more competitors than it used to. As such, the X3 isn't the easy choice it once was. But the new model and most years of the first-generation X3 should remain near the top of your short list of choices.
The BMW X3 is available in two models, which correspond to engine. The xDrive28i gets a naturally aspirated 3.0-liter inline-6 that produces 240 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. The xDrive35i has a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 good for 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. Every X3 features all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The latter slings through gears with buttery, quiet ease and returns impressive fuel economy considering the engines' power.
While the X3 may be smaller and cheaper than the X5, you won't feel short-changed inside, as almost the same high-quality materials and construction are present, while the features list includes luxuries like heated rear seats and steering wheel, Bluetooth streaming audio, multiview parking cameras and a premium sound system. Like other recent BMWs, the X3 can be outfitted with adjustable drive settings that alter the tune of the suspension, steering, transmission and throttle response. We would skip it, however, as the car's standard tuning strikes a better balance than any of the three available drive programs.
BMW tunes in the very best of sport and luxury, mixing them both together to create a roster that still continues to dominate. Pushing the envelope, so to speak, is sometimes an obstacle. Everywhere you look, it seems there are just way too many options.  Ignore them for a moment. Use tunnel vision. While there might be a host of beautiful modifications you can make, custom BMW Spoilers never disappoint. And that is because of the versatility a BMW Spoiler presents. It doesn’t necessarily have to say “street racer” or appear as some Gen-X upgrade. One can also provide an enhanced suggestion of luxury, taste. There is no fancy guessing-game involved here. To achieve the look you desire, all you have to is find the style that matches your vehicle best!
CARiD.com makes the entire process easy on you. When you click on your Model Name shown above, you’ll soon find yourself knee-deep in our inventory of Rear Spoilers, Lip Spoilers, and Rear-Roof Wings, all primed and ready to meet your demands.

BMW 3 Series News

Peter Nefischer, head of engine development for BMW, has said the automaker is currently working on developing three-cylinder engines to be used across the company's vehicle line.  The powerplants would likely be different than the one found in the BMW i8 and wouldn't be partnered with an electric motor. Instead, engineers would turn to forced induction to maintain acceptable power levels. Nefischer said engineers have gone as far as possible with current engine technology, and the next step is smaller, more powerful variants.
 So, when can we expect to see a three-cylinder 3 Series hit the streets? According to the report, the vehicle could be here in two years. BMW has already demonstrated the sort of gains that can be made by dropping cylinder count. Just look at the F30 328i with the vehicle's impressive power and fuel economy as an example. Will BMW bring 3 Series to the table with half the cylinders of the tried-and-true I6? Stranger things have happened.

BMW 3 Series

A few images of the new Chinese-market long-wheelbase BMW 3 Series have made their way to the web. The vehicle's profile clearly shows a few extra inches of room for rear passengers, though the additional space between the front and rear wheels doesn't infringe too heavily on the sedan's design.
 With a slightly longer rear door and expanded rear cabin, the BMW 335Li is designed for buyers who would rather be driven than drive. That's a big plus for the chauffeur-oriented Chinese luxury vehicle market. From what we hear, the vehicle is headed toward an official debut at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show in April.
 In addition to more rear legroom, the BMW 335Li will likely feature a new 8.8-inch freestanding control display mounted atop the vehicle's dash. An auto start-stop system is expected to debut on the vehicle to help increase fuel economy, and a blind-spot awareness system is expected to be standard equipment, as well. Head over to the F30Post.com forums for a better look at the elongated 3 Series.
BMW and Euro Tail Lights are like apple and pie – they just seem to go together. At CARiD.Com, we recognize the need for exotic radiance and our selection of BMW Custom Tail Lights proves it! Inside our catalog of BMW Custom Taillights you’ll catch a glimpse at all the latest styles and classic favorites that give the back-end of your Beemer a splash of distinctive color.  Choose from BMW Euro Tail Lights, Crystal Clear, Red Clear, Bermuda Black, and more. BMW Custom Taillights come in pairs and are guaranteed to provide a precise OEM fit. Installation isn’t a drawn out process: BMW Custom Tail Lights are “plug & play.” Simply remove your OEM lamps and insert the colorfully classy BMW LED Tail Lights right in their place!
 BMW LED Taillights shine brighter and last many times longer than typical OEM bulbs or replacements. LED “dots” radiate with much more strength and exhibit a concise band of light as opposed to the dull reds and ambers factory tail lights normally provide. The safety and fashion of BMW LED Taillights is always a hot commodity and CARiD has it right here for you at the best prices around. BMW Euro Tail Lights bring an instant lift in style that is sassy, expressive, and attractive. Plus, the quality of light stands on its own. With BMW, you’re used to superiority. Why change now?

2012 BMW 3-series Sports Wagon

2012 BMW 3-series Sports Wagon. At press time, BMW hadn't yet shown the 3 Series replacement, but we've seen spy photos of it for over a year. Not surprisingly, the current generation has received little change for 2012, as all development is ongoing for the new car.  The coupe, retractable hardtop convertible and sedan versions of the 328, 335 and M3 continue as they are with some package changes and the standard inclusion of Bluetooth. Gone for 2012, however, is the M3 sedan and turbodiesel engine option. A 328i Wagon remains the least expensive variant of the 3 Series. The M3 Convertible will receive a new $5000 Individual Composition Package option with four unique paint colors and interior trim choices to help make it more distinct.

BMW 3 Series Sedan.

With the announcement of the sixth generation BMW 3 Series Sedan, the benchmark by which all sport sedans are measured just got raised. The pioneering history of the 3 Series serves as inspiration for the new sports sedan, whose powerful styling represents a fresh interpretation and conscientious development of traditional BMW design cues. It will not only set new standards for performance and handling but also for luxury, technology and efficiency as well.
The all-new BMW 3 Series Sedan arrives in ÚS showrooms in February 2012 as a 2012 model.
The new BMW face, wîth elongated BMW headlights reaching along as far as the BMW kidney grille, emphasizes the new BMW 3 Series' sense of width and strengthens its athletic overall profile. The sixth generation of the 3 Series has grown moderately in size compared to its predecessor, wîth its wide track (front + 37 mm/1.46 in., rear + 47 mm/1.85 in.) particularly prominent, and the car's length (+ 93 mm/3.66 in.) and wheelbase (+ 50 mm/1.96 in.) also accentuates its sporting allure. Inside the new BMW 3 Series Sedan, the rear passengers will appreciate the noticeable increase in space made possible by the larger dimensions. And the BMW 3 Series range is now also available in a trio of trim and equipment variants – the Sport Line, Luxury Line and Modern Line. Each presents its own individual take on the character of the sports sedan, wîth exclusive, high-quality material combinations and unbeatable build quality underlining the premium ambience of the new range.

2012 BMW 3-Series.

BMW has revealed the all new 2012 3-Series F30 Sedan. This is the sixth generation of the world's best-selling premium saloon. The car will hit the market in February next year and it will build on the current model's position as the ultimate drivers car in its sector. It will also be the most logical business proposition, thanks to new powertrains and additional EfficientDynamics fuel-saving, emissions-reducing technologies.
BMW F30 is larger and more spacious than E90. It is also lighter and quicker, more fuel-efficient; and more nimble and agile while even safer. There have been big steps forward in style, quality, comfort and specification for only a minimal price increase. A wider choice of trim levels and an extensive personalisation programme will allow 3 Series Saloon buyers to order virtually a bespoke car.
F30 continues to be the ultimate driver's car by featuring rear-wheel-drive layout, near-perfect 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution, agile chassis set-up and responsive engines.
The engine range includes a new four-cylinder 2.0-litre petrol unit with whopping 245PS and 350Nm of torque. This engine is installed in 328i and replaces the six-cylinder 3.0-litre engines in the previous 325i and 330i. 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds and a staggering 44 mpg on combined cycle with CO2 emissions below 150g/km. The new unit features High-Precision Direct Injection, BMW's new TwinScroll turbocharging, Double-VANOS variable camshaft timing and VALVETRONIC variable valve opening technology. The other petrol engine on offer is the 3.0-litre six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo unit in the 335i.
The diesels are an improved 2.0-litre in 320d with 184PS and 320d EfficientDynamics with 163PS, which is capable of doing 68.9mpg fuel consumption and just 109g/km CO2. Previously only available as a manual, the 320d EfficientDynamics is also now available with the new 8-speed automatic transmission.
BMW tunes in the very best of sport and luxury, mixing them both together to create a roster that still continues to dominate. Pushing the envelope, so to speak, is sometimes an obstacle. Everywhere you look, it seems there are just way too many options. Ignore them for a moment. Use tunnel vision.

BMW News.

The BMW 3-Series is the brand’s bread and butter; it’s BMW’s highest-selling car. Not only are there sedans, coupes, convertibles and wagons, but there are also rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. Additionally, there are several different motors. This means buyers have the choice of plain Jane, “that’s fast,” and “oh my!” With that said, we review the high-performance M3 separately.
For 2011, BMW gives the coupe and convertible some new cosmetic modifications to their front and rear. Additionally, BMW ditched the older twin-turbo setup in the 335i for a single turbo powerplant. Although it may sound like a bad idea for a performance car, don’t worry. The new engine makes the same power but is more fuel-efficient.
Also new for 2011 are a pair of new models, the 335is coupe and convertible. For 2011, BMW has pulled the old switcharoo as the standard 335i gets a single turbo motor while the 2011 335is retains the older, bi-turbo engine.

2011 BMW 328i Sports Wagon.

2011 BMW 328i Sports Wagon, an AW Drivers Log.
Let's see, here we have one of the best-driving cars on the planet, with cargo room. Talk about a win-win. I didn't have a need to use the space behind the second row, but there's no question that everything that makes the BMW 3-series a great car is evident in this configuration: good power from the I6, steady suspension, precise steering, luxury appointments, rakish styling in a classic wagon configuration and solid build quality everywhere.
It's almost embarrassing to admit it, but my fixes for this car would center on comfort stuff: I'd like a better radio tuner and cupholders that give me confidence that they'll hold the cup through a 0-to-60-mph run.
This is a fine little wagon, although it seems you have to nearly squat to the ground to get in. Getting out is also a bit of a chore, and I hit my head on two separate occasions--and yes, I did duck.
Aside from that, this wagon was a good scooter for my overnight. I didn't make use of the cargo space, but it appears to be able to hold several bags or items. The seats were comfy enough, and there are nice materials throughout. But the 328i's steering felt heavy; the hubby even said it seemed as if we were towing something--and that was just on surface roads. For being a smaller wagon, it seemed heavy all around. But there was decent power for expressway driving and maneuvers, the car heated up quickly, and the seat heaters were much appreciated.
I would, though, do away with the silly pop-out cupholders. There has to be space somewhere for a real spot for your bottle of water or cup of coffee.
Proper vehicle maintenance leads to improved performance, and every driver can relate to that. In order to keep your vehicle humming along with efficiency, sometimes you have to step it up a notch. Cold Air Intakes and Air Filters are the perfect ingredient for those who know how to punch the pedal with authority, and CARiD has just what you need! We offer the latest top-quality BMW Air Intakes and Air Filters that turn hot dirty air into the cool clean breeze your engine embraces.

New 2012 3 Series.

We bring you more spy photos of the 2012 3 series sedan (F30), in black and space gray, as BMW finishes the final evaluation phase testing on the next generation 3 series sedan.
Although the camouflage tape remains on these FEP level prototypes, we've already recently had a great uncovered look at the production F30 front and rear in a recent spotting at an F30 official photo shoot. But, these photos continue to give us views at the F30's overall size (expected to be just slightly larger than the E90) and its attractive proportions and stance. The black F30 test car also shows a new wheel style yet to be seen on an F30 prototype.
Signs are pointing to an F30 reveal sometime late October/early November at a London and/or Munich venue. The F30 will makes its world public debut at the 2012 Geneva show next March, go on sale in Europe shortly thereafter, and be available in the US beginning Spring 2012.
WIND & RAIN DEFLECTORS. Every driver notices the switch. What starts off as a breeze turns into a howl. You go from effortlessly cruising down the highway to careening in and out of your lane. Wind Deflectors cut down the airstreams and raindrops that hamper your daily travels. CARiD offers a terrific selection of Side

BMW Deflectors that make driving during blustery weather more manageable than ever. All of our Rain Deflectors come from brand names like WeatherTech® and PUTCO® to guarantee top-quality unmatched anywhere else. Easy installation with a smooth custom fit make Wind Deflectors a "must have" for all!

2011 BMW 3 Series.

The BMW 3 Series is regarded as one of the most popular series of luxury cars on the road today. The 3 Series sedan is considered the luxury sedan of choice, year after year, in auto reviews. With a slight face lift and some engine modifications, the 2011 BMW 3 Series is now available for sale. Read on for the results of our road test of the new 3 Series sedan.
Performance
Like most auto manufacturers, BMW is aiming to make fuel economy and overall efficiency a priority, and the 2011 3 Series group is no different. In fact, BMW has a program called Efficient Dynamics that’s expected to be a leading part of the fuel-efficiency push in the auto industry. Thanks to that gas-sipping technology, the 2011 BMW 3 Series lineup now offers an N55 model that is more fuel-efficient and cleaner-burning than its predecessors. Other models should still achieve the 18/28 mpg city/highway rating of the 2010 model. The engine in the 328i remains the same for 2011, but places a single, twin-scroll turbocharger engine with 300 horsepower in the 335i model. All 3 Series models have 0-60 times of around five seconds. Handling and braking are solid, with a six-speed manual drivetrain standard and a six-speed auto optional.
Exterior and Interior Features
BMW made only a few cosmetic changes to the 3 Series for 2011. Auto reviews refer to the design changes as a “facelift.” The 2011 BMW is longer and slightly higher than the previous model. New exterior features include horizontal chrome blades, LED lighting in the front and the rear, a lifted back end, new bumpers, and new rocker panels and sideview mirrors. See photos of the 2011 3 Series in our gallery.
Inside, BMW has done very little with the cabin of the 2011 3 Series, which is a good thing considering how enamored car reviews are of it. The intimate, well-appointed cabin of the BMW 3 Series is a wonder to behold. The iDrive control system remains optional for 2011, and the steering-wheel shift paddles for models with automatic transmissions were redesigned for the new year.
B&I will customize your original factory steering wheel. Your choice of Leather and Wood or Sport Finishes added to your Original BMW Steering Wheel. If you are thinking about custom interior, make sure that your hands are on the custom piece! Custom steering wheel with matching custom dash kit would be a perfect touch for your interior. Not sure of your leather color? No problem. Choose the Leather Match option and once we receive your existing wheel we'll compare the leather on it with our numerous leather swatches to insure you get the closest match possible.

BMW M3 CRT.

The BMW M3 has grown cylinders over the years like a pubescent pre-teen grows in height. What started out with an inline-four then grew into a straight-six for two generations before packing a V8 into the current model. The next one is expected to set to drop a couple of combustion chambers and go back to a single bank, but don't think for one minute that'll mean a drop in performance.
According to the rumormongers at AutoExpress, the next-generation M3, due sometime around 2014 after the new 3 Series comes along, will pack – wait for it – a triple-turbo straight-six. The innovative arrangement will reportedly include two conventional spools powered off exhaust gases and a third electric turbocharger. Total output could be around 450 horsepower – a bump over the current V8 model's 414 hp – with even more carbon fiber bits than the CRT edition pictured above to help keep weight down.
Not exciting enough? BMW's M division has plenty more in the cards, potentially including an oft-rumored new M1 supercar and, once the 1 Series M Coupe is done its production run, a lightweight CSL version. An M version of the Z4 is also under consideration, but of course nothing final until the cars make their debuts.

2012 3 Series.

BMW has released information on a pair of new special-edition 3 Series models available in Europe. The 2012 3 Series Exclusive Edition will offer buyers new 18-inch, lightweight V-Spoke wheels as well as a unique Mineral Grey exterior paint. Inside, the cabin is wrapped in Dakota leather in either Pearl Grey with contrast stitching or black. Bamboo grain anthracite wood trim adds a bit of specialness as well.
Of greater interest to enthusiasts is news that BMW will also offer customers a new 2012 3 Series M Sport Edition with a slightly sharper performance edge. BMW turned its M engineers lose on the vehicle's suspension and a host of exterior and interior tweaks help set both the coupe and convertible models apart from the rest of their pack.
The M Sport Edition features a set of 18-inch lightweight alloy wheels of its very own, and shadow line window finishers join a body-color rear diffuser. Indoors, an M Sport steering wheel and stainless pedals are standard equipment, as are Dakota leather seats with blue contrast stitching. Let's hope these two specials make it to North America

BMW M3 CRT.

Meet the new BMW M3 CRT. In this case, those letters do not mean cathode ray tube (think old-school computer monitors). According to BMW, CRT is short for Carbon Racing Technologies, and that's the kind of thing we can really get behind. That's especially true when the car being CRT-ized is the M3.
The BMW M3 CRT differs quite a bit from last year's M3 GTS, though both were conceived as lightweight versions of the E90-series car with more power, better brakes and upgraded suspension bits. For instance, unlike the GTS, the CRT comes fully loaded with navigation, a premium stereo system and is based on the four-door sedan with high-tech front and rear seats.
BMW is using the M3 CRT to debut its new carbon fiber production technique, which is used to good effect on both the front seats and a new hood that is as strong as a conventional steel unit with just one quarter the weight. More weight reduction comes from the titanium muffler, 19-inch Y-spoke alloy wheels and less sound deadening material. Even the brake calipers are made from a new lightweight compound.
A fresh set of adjustable coilovers work with a more rigid rear subframe and wide tires (245/35R19 front and 265/35R19 rear) to up the handling quotient. Power comes from a 4.4-liter version of BMW's well-known high-revving V8 engine, producing 450 horsepower (at 8,300 rpm) and 324 pound-feet of torque (at 3,750 rpm). Those ponies are routed to the rear wheels through the automaker's seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
Add it all up and you're left with a machine that's capable of terrorizing the race track every weekend while still serving as a perfectly lovely daily driver in between... one that can zip from 0 to 62 miles per hour in what we bet is a conservative 4.4 seconds. Want one? Get in line, as BMW only plans to build 67 units, each painted up in Frozen Polar Silver metallic with Melbourne Red accents and a black and orange interior. And there's no word on any of them making it Stateside, in case you were wondering.

BMW M3 News.

BMW's Frozen Black M3 Coupe. Image: BMW. Frozen Gray M3 Coupes, Frozen Black M3 Coupes...next, maybe the Frozen White M3 Coupe? It seems to be a winning formula for BMW, as the heavily marked-up and extremely limited volume (just 20-30 units each) car has now brought in a total of $3.9 million in revenue in just 34 minutes of sales time.
The latest addition to the Frozen range, the Frozen Black M3, sold out just 22 minutes after opening the books. That equates to one of the 20 cars selling every 66 seconds.
The Frozen Gray M3 sold 30 units in just 12 minutes, however, possibly indicating that the "murdered out" look really is nearing the post-shark landing ramp.

2011 BMW M3 Carbon Edition.

BMW has announced a new special edition M3, which will be available only in China.
2011 BMW M3 Carbon Edition will be limited to just 111 units, which will be sold at the biggest car market. The sports car features carbon fiber roof, BMW performance front GT splitters, hood inlets and a trunk mounted lip spoiler. Of course, all elements come in carbon fiber.
The special edition M3 is finished in white pearl metallic paint with black stripes. A Carbon Edition logo and huge 19” Style 220 M3 BMW wheels in matt black fitted with high performance tires complete the exterior look.
The interior received carbon fiber element, too. The “Carbon Edition” logo is present as well as white leather for the arm rest, door panels and center console. The final touch is the carbon fiber patterned material for the headrests.
The engine didn’t get any power boost, because it already has a lot of it – a 4.0 liter naturally aspirated hi revving V8 with 420PS and 400Nm of torque. It is mated to a Drivelogic 7-speed dual clutch gearbox. 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) – electronically limited.
2011 BMW M3 Carbon Edition is priced at 1.23 million yuan, which is around $189 000.

BMW 3-Series.

The BMW 3-series coupe and convertible were just face lifted, but the Bavarians already are busy readying the next-generation 3er sedan; it’s that body style that always leads off a new 3-series generation. And so we expect in late 2011 or early 2012 to get an official glimpse of the four-door, which should arrive at dealerships here in late 2012 as a '13 model. Until then, these renderings provide a good idea of what to expect.
We like what’s here: The next 3 keeps the concave body-side surfaces, and the front and rear of the new car will be sharpened. This is very clearly the little brother of the new 5-series, but far more compact and more aggressive in its detailing. The front end is dominated by the four LED rings around the headlights, which will form the basis of the BMW face going forward, and the lower air intakes will become more angular. The rear view will allow you to tell how much power a particular 3-series is packing, even if the owner goes for the badge-delete option, as split exhaust pipes will remain the domain of the most powerful diesel and petrol versions.
Later in 2012, BMW will add a Sport Wagon, as well as the next two-door coupe and convertible models, the latter of which sadly will keep its folding hardtop. We’d have preferred a migration back to a cloth roof, if only to reduce weight. While the advantages of a folding hardtop are largely psychological, they are preferred by convertible-lovers without a garage or those that feel more secure in a car that’s wearing a helmet. In search of another market niche, BMW also will add a 3-series Gran Turismo in the spirit of the controversial 5-series GT.
What separates BMW from the rest of the pack is versatility. BMW models don’t fit just one look or standard. Some buy them for luxury. Others enjoy the sporty feel that’s made the name famous. Whatever the case, all Beemer drivers like to get expressive and that means going custom on the grille.

The exact OEM fitment for your BMW is vital. We’ll make sure you get it to go along with the stand-alone style you’ve grown accustomed to.

Legendary BMW 328 Turns 75.

The BMW 328 is a sports car manufactured by the German automaker between 1936 and 1940, which at the time was one of the most successful vehicles of its type in the world of motorsports. Part of the reason for its success was due to its many innovations and advanced features for its time, such as a tubular spaceframe and a hemispherical combustion chamber engine.
You may recall that just last year a recreated 328 Kamm Coupe celebrated the 70th anniversary of the car’s Mille Miglia victory in 1940. Now BMW is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the first 328.
Having started life as a racing car mid-way through 1936, series production of the road-going BMW 328 began in spring 1937. However, the high-performance sports car did not remain the preserve of race teams; while it was a fine racing machine, it was also equally as impressive in everyday use.
Agility, acceleration, reliability and lightweight construction were its main strengths. Indeed, at a time when powerful supercharged "Kompressor" machines ruled the racing roost, the BMW 328--weighing just 1,720 pounds and developing a modest 80 horsepower in series production form--was a genuine sensation.
Of the 464 examples of the BMW 328 ever built, only around 200 have survived, some 120 of which are still in Germany. Many still take part in historical races to this day, including many from BMW’s own classic car collection.

BMW 3 Series Spy Shots.

Good as it may be to drive, and better as it may be to ride in, we still don't quite understand the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo. It isn't as hunkered down and svelte as a Porsche Panamera or Audi A7 Sportback, and its big booty style isn't exactly the most attractive thing to come out of Munich.
And now there's a smaller one to look forward to.
In addition to a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, the next-generation BMW 3 Series will be offered in hunchbacked Gran Turismo form, seen here all covered up in swirly camouflage. Our sources indicate that the 3GT will have a different front fascia than the rest of the 3 Series lineup, as well as a unique roofline and a frameless window design.
Expect engine choices to be the same as the rest of the 3 Series lineup, with turbocharged four- and six-cylinder powerplants across the range. No word on when the 3GT will bow (or if it's destined for consumption here in the States, where the 5GT hasn't exactly been lighting the sales charts afire), but our spies suggest that BMW's new genre-bender will launch one year after the 3 Series Touring, another bodystyle we're not sure is coming to North America.
