There are many recalls in the auto industry.

No matter how much you plan and hope that a project will be perfect, it rarely is. If a minor problem is detected, anyone can go with their car at the dealership and get it fixed for free.

Most BMW fans know that BMW has a contract with Sirius, which forces them to offer these services to any new BMW buyer.

This is not actually done by “force” because the people from BMW think that Sirius satellite radio is the best in the business.

This is obviously not a permanent measure, but it is just something which BMW is experimenting with. >> Read full article

We talked a lot about the 2009 BMW Z4 and I think that we managed to cover every detail about this car.

Let’s make a summary and close this subject until we get other news about it, which might take a while. As I said before, the car is beautiful. You can clearly see from these pictures that the 2009 BMW Z4 is truly unique in this aspect and I like it better than other vehicles from its class. The 300 horse power engine is more that you will never need on the road and the hardtop is the perfect functional feature for the 2009 BMW Z4. You shouldn’t forget about the retractable DVD player, a lot of space in the trunk and behind the seat (at least for a roadster) and the overall performance. >> Read full article

At first GPS was used by the military, after that by people who wanted to find a location which isn’t on the map and in the end by everyone who owns a vehicle. But now, you can use it to make huge drawings. How can you do this? You just need to find a map and draw a figure, in the case that you see above, a motorcycle was drawn with a BMW. You just follow the path and the drawing is over.
