The BMW M6 is a high performance version of the BMW 6 Series car that was made by the motor sports division of BMW.
The M6 was created in the year 1983, when BMW took the Configuration from the M1 and put it in to the BMW 6 Series’ E24 chassis. Throughout the span of its life, the BMW M6 won numerous accolades for its elegant shark nose style, as well as its high performance standards and well designed luxury features. The BMW M6 is distinct from other E24 models for its M6 badges on the back and grille, subtle spoiler, and large air dam.
The BMW M6, in its latest version, was unveiled in the year 2005 at the Geneva Motor Show. It is based on the BMW E63/E64 6 Series, which was first introduced in the year 2004.
It has been claimed that the current BMW M6 model is capable of accelerating to sixty two miles per hour in less than five seconds. It has an electronically limited top speed of one hundred fifty five miles per hour. When the limiter is removed, the BMW M6 can reach a speed of over two hundred miles per hour.

On paper, BMW's N54 turbo inline six was a tuner's dream. Direct injection, front-mounted intercooler and twin turbos, all attached to BMW's legendary drive dynamics. Most figured a simple software upgrade would make big power for very little cost. But it quickly became clear it was going to take considerable time and resources to penetrate the Siemens DME's defenses in order to manipulate the MSD80/81 code. This left some to develop external piggyback devices, but these simply acted as blinders, tricking the computer into thinking it's doing one thing when it's really doing something else. Now, GIAC has released its Stage 1 flash, and we just had to test it.

Test Notes
The baseline and all subsequent testing were performed on the same day, utilizing the same tank of 91 octane fuel. All quoted horsepower and torque numbers are measured at the wheels. It's also important to keep in mind that the properly calibrated "Mustang" dyno produces more accurate real world horsepower and torque numbers. While these numbers might seem low when compared to figures gathered from a Dynojet, what's important is the differences between each dyno run. Those differences are what we use to validate the manufacturer's horsepower and torque claims.

• OBD port flashing allows the ECU and harness completely unmolested
• Increased throttle response and smoother power transitions
• Increase rev limiter to 7200 rpm
• Speed limiter is removed in the DME
software (not by altering vehicle speed sensor data) leaving ABS and DSC functions unaffected
• DME receives accurate data from the engine sensors, giving the ability to be more proactive instead of reactive, allowing DME to deliver the proper amount of fuel, cam and engine timing based on real world conditions
• 100% reversible
Cons
• GIAC flashloader technology not available yet
• GIAC flashloader technology not available yet
Test Notes
Even though this '07 had been to the dealership on more than a dozen occasions it had never had any software updates done, even when they replaced the fuel pump. So instead of the spending the standard amount of time to flash the vehicle, it took an additional two hours to update the necessary systems to accept the later software version. We upgraded to the later software because BMW had made several beneficial improvements to overall drivability, making a better software base for Stage 1 recalibration.

The boost data was generated using a boost line attached directly to intake manifold then attached to an externally mounted 3bar GM style MAP sensor with a 0-5 volt analog output range that sends a signal that was then converted by the dyno Powerdyne software.
Performance
Peak power: 311 hp @ 5950 rpm
Peak torque: 330 lb-ft @ 3125 rpm
Parts: X-pipe, right and left axle pipe, muffler assembly with 3.5-inch round tips, 2.38-inch and 2.50-inch muffler clamps, vacuum plug
Tools: T50 torx bit, 15, 18 mm and 5/16-inch socket, extension, ratchet, WD-40, tape measure, reciprocating saw or pipe cutter
Installation time: 1-1.5 hours
MSRP:$1,301.99

• 2.5-inch fully mandrel bent stainless steel tubing
• 21-pound weight savings over the stock system
• Merge X-Pipe is designed to create a vacuum between the right and left exhaust pipes, increasing exhaust gas velocity
• Merge X-pipe designed to deepen sound while reducing droning
• Borla Million-Mile Warranty offers replacement parts if the product has any defects in materials and workmanship for 1,000,000 miles
Cons
• Cutting of the stock system (not a Borla design problem) since factory system is one piece from the downpipes back and includes two catalytic converters; the only way to legally swap out the cat-back portion is to cut it
• Slip-joint construction makes installation a bit tricky
• Lack of sealing compound for slip-joints made eliminating small exhaust leaks difficult, requiring several adjustments

Test Notes
We let the exhaust cool for a while before we swapped it out, and by the time we returned to the dyno room and recalibrated the dyno, the outside temperature had increased to more than 100° Fahrenheit, and the dyno room had had increased to 86°.

2012 bmw 3

| 2012 bmw 3 |
The BMW 3 series has become one of the most popular production automobile lines ever produced. Since its inception, the BMW 3 series lineup has taken the world by storm with its pronounced style, elegance, and unsurpassed driving experience. Since the original E21 3 series body style released in May of 1975, BMW has designed numerous body style changes and engine upgrades with one goal in mind: To uphold the tradition that has made the 3 series cars the most sought-after in the world.
The 2010 BMW 3 series models (coded E90 and E92 by the designers in Munich) feature the traditional Inline-6 cylinder engine that has been a staple of the 3 series from the start. However, unlike previous 3 series body styles, the 3.0L engine is common among all of the variants of the car. This includes the newly re-offered 328i, as well as the new and ferocious 335i. In previous models, the 328i would have been fitted with a 2.8L engine, and the 335i with a 3.5L engine. To reduce costs and improve the commonality of parts, BMW has changed to an all-3.0L fleet.
Have no fear: This 3.0L Inline-6 packs quite the punch for those looking to have a little bit of fun with their cars. Those who opt for the 335i model of the car will be taking the reins of a 300 horsepower monster. This engine is tuned for torque, with its 300 ft/lbs of torque being found at 1400 RPM. Those interested in the understated 328i model will find its 230 horsepower more than sufficient on the open road. With 200 ft/lbs of torque found at 2750 RPM, passing is a breeze.
With BMW's 3.0L Inline-6 in front of you, you'll be enjoying your 2010 BMW 3 series car for years to come.

BMW presented the new version of 2012, 2012 BMW . The base design of 2012 BMW is BMW Vision EfficientDynamics. I don’t know why but all BMW fans, didn’t really loved the idea to name this BMW model, a M1. The truth is that I really feel is not so good to be named M1 but I don’t know why yet.
They are about to make this car in 2012. If it will go into production, this would mean that the future cars are here. This car will use electric engines and two transmissions to acheive 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. The back of the car is not really like at BMW Vision EfficientDynamics but this would probably help to put this car into a production line.
The main rival will be Audi R8 and 2012 BMW M1 will try to have much better performances. 2012 BMW M1 will have under the hood a 1.5 liter 3 cylinder engine. With the two electric engines, will develop in total 356 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. At the moment this car is just a concept.

BMW just launched an all new www.bmwusa.com. The main upgrades are a new much more visual configuration tool that incorporates images and 360’s that represent every possible permutation, even down to such details as headlights are represented with a correct image of the vehicle. The summary page is nice also giving you interior and exterior views. The have added a bunch more video as well.
