BMW sDrive

BMW X1

The names of the cars which leave the BMW factory have always been the same. We have the x-Series models, the X models and the Z ones.

BMW plans on introducing a new name in their line of vehicles, starting with the BMW X1 Concept. Every BMW which has a rear wheel drive will have BMW sDrive attached to whatever its name is. This name change might even be applied to the famous BMW Z4. The X1 concept will be available in two different versions, xDrive and BMW sDrive. Some people don’t agree with this change, but the difference is not that noticeable and the name is very suggestive. >> Read full article

BMW K 1200 S recall

BMW K 1200 S

BMW will call back a number of K 1200 S and GT motorcycles which were produced in 2008.

Motorcycle owners should check their bikes often, just to make sure that everything is ok. However, if someone doesn’t observe the problem, it may have serious consequences. This is why some of the BMW K 1200 S motorcycles will be checked and the problem will be solved. The BMW K 1200 S is a 1157 cc motorcycle with a 4 cylinder engine. It can offer a maximum of 167 horse power. >> Read full article

BMW low sales in USA

BMW

Like usual, BMW is trying to figure out if they’re doing better or worse than last year. Unfortunately, they are doing worse.

Last year, the sales from the United States were 26.8% higher than this year. The same effect can be seen at BMW Group as a whole, but not in the same percentage. In fact, BMW has sold 6.8% less than last year, which can be explained by the recession. The only good part about this news is that the decrease is caused by the global financial situation. It is obvious that BMW could have done a lot worse if they weren’t a reliable company. >> Read full article

BMW recession problems

BMW
BMW has been trying to outsell Mercedes-Benz in the last years and most of their efforts eventually paid off.

In the last 10 years, BMW has managed to sell twice as many cars as they’ve used to, being the best premium car seller on the market. Everyone agrees that they’ve made a huge progress, but the recession couldn’t be anticipated by anyone. BMW had a great marketing strategy, but it can fail in times like these. Many BMW owners bought their cars trough leasing and now they can’t afford making payments. This is a huge problem from BMW and many other car producers all over the world.

Even so, the company is still producing new models and they have a few methods of getting pass the recession.
