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 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.

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.

2012 BMW 3-Series.

A new promotional video has been released by BMW, where the new 3-Series is being tested at the hottest place on Earth – Death Valley, California.
The car’s exterior is completely covered and there are some details, which can be seen inside the car.
2012 BMW 3-Series will be a little bigger than the current model. It will offer a wide variety of engines including a new turbocharged 1.6 liter petrol with 150PS (110 kW), a new turbocharged 2.0 liter petrol with 245PS (180 kW) and a turbocharged 3.0 liter petrol with 306PS (225 kW). A hybrid version will also be available, which will have a petrol power plant paired to a 54PS (40 kW) electric motor.
2012 BMW 3-Series is scheduled to be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

BMW 3-Series News.

BMW 3-Series GT To Be Called 4-Series? Call it whatever you like--the apple-bottomed sedan, the Quasimodo, the "Gran Turismo," the not-quite-a-hatchback four-door coupe-ish thing appears to be here to stay. In BMW's case, it may even spawn a whole new model line, if the latest rumors out of Germany prove correct. The car known so far as the 3-Series GT may bear a new badge: the 4-Series.
Rumors of a 4-Series coupe-like vehicle are not new--AutoBild produced some renderings of a two-door intended to look and behave like a smaller 6-Series way back in 2004. The evolution from 3-Series GT to 4-Series, however, is new, and as yet, completely unsubstantiated.
The car itself, however, is coming. CEO Norbert Reithofer revealed as much back in 2009, not long after the debut of the 5-Series GT. The release date then was planned for late 2011, though a 2013 launch now looks more likely.
Those of us in America can at least look forward to the GT version of BMW's mid-sized sedan--whatever it's eventually called--as an alternative to the 3-Series wagon, though if you ask us why anyone would choose the GT over the wagon, given the option, you're likely to be met with shrugged shoulders and a confused look. The questions as to whether the 3-Series GT/4-Series will replace the 3-Series wagon here, however, as the 5-Series GT has done, remains open.
The 3 Series is considered to be among BMW’s most cherished models, so keeping up with the profile remains a vital responsibility. CARiD.com will help you take charge the right way with our vaunted selection of BMW 3 Series Spoilers that are bound to engage a response. A delightful mix of styles highlights our inventory when you are searching for your new BMW 3 Series Spoiler, allowing you the opportunity to get a little creative! It doesn’t matter if your ride is a 2-door or 4-door - we’ve got 3 Series spoilers dating back to Model Year 1992. Plain and simple, no one beats us when it comes to a BMW 3 Series Spoiler because we put in the time to make sure we cover all the bases. Terrific top-shelf quality with all the style in the world: this is where your Beemer comes to play!

2013 BMW 3-Series.

While it’s been reported that BMW was working on a hybrid version of its popular 3-Series for the next-generation of the car, until now we haven’t had much tangible evidence to suggest those reports were in fact true.
That’s because we have some new spy shots of a prototype for the next-generation 3-Series but there are several clues that suggest this is a prototype for a new hybrid model. The hybrid giveaway are several “Rescue” stickers located on the doors and trunk-lid--stickers that we've seen before on prototypes for the upcoming ActiveHybrid 5 and original ActiveHybrid 7 and ActiveHybrid X6 models.
Expect the new hybrid 3-Series to also continue this naming practice, which means the car should carry the title ‘BMW ActiveHybrid 3’.
As for what’s lurking under the hood, it’s likely to be some variation of the six-cylinder and electric motor combo destined for the ActiveHybrid 5, perhaps with a little less power.
However, there’s a chance that we could see a new four-cylinder setup in the ActiveHybrid 3.
BMW’s latest hybrid technology connects the engine and electric motor with a dedicated clutch mechanism, allowing either to power the car, both in series and separately. To further aid fuel economy, regenerative braking, smart navigation software that takes topography into account when deciding how much hybrid juice to supply, and electronically powered accessories should all feature.
The new 2013
BMW 3-Series range is expected to bow in late next year. Expect the ActiveHybrid 3 to debut shortly after that.

BMW x1 Accessories.

As expected after this morning's initial leakage, BMW has released a staggering amount of images of the 2011 BMW X1 showing the brand's new soft-roader in every conceivable environment before it's officially revealed at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show.Image by S 400 HYBRID via Flickr

Along with the pics, BMW put out a brief statement (below the fold) confirming the X1's arrival in the U.S. sometime in 2011 and its plans to offer both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive (xDrive) versions, along with "a wide variety of gasoline and diesel powertrain choices." BMW won't officially confirm what mils will make the trip across the Atlantic, but the automaker says the X1 will use its EfficientDynamics system and that one gasoline engine and three diesels will be available when the X1 launches in Europe this fall. Check out all 183 high-res images in the gallery below and expect official U.S. market information to be released closer to the X1's launch in the States.Image by UweBKK (α 550 on ) via Flickr

2011 BMW 3-Series.

BMW 3-Series - What the Auto Press Says. The 2011 BMW 3-Series ranks 1 out of 19 Upscale Midsize Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 118 published reviews and test drives of the BMW 3-Series, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
If you are looking for an entry-level luxury sedan that can serve as a family hauler and emphasizes performance, the 2011 BMW 3-Series is a great car. If you’re shopping for a soft-sprung luxury cruiser, this may not be the car for you.

The BMW 3-Series continues to win over reviewers, even as the competition becomes stronger. The 3-series has been one of Car and Driver’s “10Best” for 19 consecutive years. Judging from what reviewers have been saying about the refreshed model, 2011 may make that 20.
It helps that BMW produces the 3-Series with several motors, rear-wheel and all-wheel drive, and in four different body styles. Whatever your desire is, likely there is a 3-Series that will fill it.
