The BMW E82 135i Alpine White version from the 1-Series is the perfect sports car to be tuned up by different aftermarket specialists, as the sleek design and the wonderful lines make room for customization and updates.

Unfortunately, this time, the BMW 1-Series Alpine White has only received the VMR 702 wheels from the VMW tuning company, which comes with the company`s 18-inch alloys front and rear, mixed up with a finish receiving a brushed aluminum face with “gunmetal lips combination.”

The customized VMR 702 wheels complement the BMW 1-Series dynamic driving, as the sports car is coming with the N54 bi-turbo inline-6 unit, which makes it run the – to 100 km/h sprint in just 5.2 seconds, at a top, electronically limited speed of 250 km/h.

The BMW 1-Series seen here is also the one redefining the driving dynamics in its class, as the six-speed or the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission allow the unit to throttle all the power standing in the twin-turbo system.

The high-end BMW M4 Coupe model is ending up in our news again, this time the famous sports car being launched online in a rendering.

The rendering is showcasing the BMW M4 model in a CSL version along with some interesting details, being actually an interpretation of the so called BMW M4 CSL Vision Concept.

The BMW M4 CSL Vision Concept is on a standing process, as the carmaker has not confirmed the existence of such a model in the near future.

Even so, the BMW M4 CSL is said to shed some weight, meaning 170 kg loss compared with the present M4, as it uses carbon fiber and aluminum components for improved performance.

The BMW M4 CSL is also set to feature a sportier suspension system, with the interior to be fitted with lightweight racing seats.

The BMW M4 CSL is also equipped with a new set of alloy wheels, while under the hood, the engine lineup is also believed to come with some interesting upgrades.

The upcoming 2016 BMW 7-Series was caught on its long wheelbase version on the Ring, while being put under heavy tests.

The video with the 2016 BMW 7-Series LWB is showcasing the model on the Ring, wearing some camouflage, which is a clear indication that the flagship sedan will come with important changes.

More than that, the video also reveals a slight image with the interior of the car, which will also come with some modifications, with the dashboard wrapped in camouflage as well.

What we know about the 2016 BMW 7-Series LWB high-end model, is that it will be standing on the fresh 35up platform, being built from high-strength steel, carbon fiber reinforced plastic or aluminum, which would make the car lighter with around 200 kg.

Under the hood, the 2016 BMW 7-Series will be powered by a tuned up 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder, or the new 4.0-liter V8 and the 6.0-liter V12.

More versions are rumored to come up, like the entry-level 2.0-liter four-cylinder or a plug-in hybrid, while an M version is not in discussion for the moment.

The BMW X5 SAV is the company`s second generation of the former X5 E53, being replaced in 2006, coming with a lot of technological goodies, as well as high-tech components at the exterior.

The new BMW X5 looks fantastic, fresh, with clear visible changes made at the exterior as well as inside. Amongst those particular changes made outside, we are also talking about a set of monoblock wheels to be put on the X5.

The D2 FORGED MB1 monoblock wheels are made entirely out of aluminum, posing a great addition to a Sport Activity Vehicle like this one seen here.

The BMW X5 equipped with the D2 FORGED MB1 monoblock wheels come with numerous advantages like a much better rigidity, more “load rating”, as well as the assurance that the wear and tear out will not affect the wheel setup.

The D2 FORGED MB1 monoblock wheels put on the BMW X5 measure 22×9.5 and 22×11, which also provide the car with an extraordinary update look.

The BMW i3 is closely to celebrate one year of existence, with the German based premium carmaker to set the new standards for the future models, in terms of technology and body development.

Rumors state that besides the fact that the carmaker is spending billions of dollars in future investments, the BMW automaker is also planning to develop other materials that would presuming replace the carbon fiber components.

The bold statement has been made by Herbert Eickelkraut, a manager at the ThyssenKrupp German steel company, stating that strong materials like steel might be the future of the BMW vehicles.

Thus, Eichelkraut inflicted the idea that BMW and ThyssenKrupp might join forces to build “an important component of steel”, in the future generation of the high-end BMW i3.

Perhaps it would seem pretty odd to use steel instead of the already technological carbon fiber materials, especially for those particular parts of the car that are mostly exposed to car crashes.

But along with technology, new molding techniques have emerged, meaning that now it is also possible for companies like TyssenKrupp to develop steel components which might be extremely light, but also very durable.

In the near future, the Life Drive Module from the i3, which is made entirely out of aluminum, might be replaced with a high-strength steel, but we will have to wait until 2020, for the second i3 to emerge, after a period of 7 years of production cycle.

The upcoming BMW 7-Series LWB was caught on camera while undergoing some tests in camouflage, the model promising to come with a new body style and a long wheelbase.

The BMW is currently working on a long wheelbase 7-Series model, which will seemingly come with a new body style, being aimed to compete against the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

The next-gen BMW 7-Series LWB caught here on camera in the United States, will be probably launched in 2016, but until then, the company must ensure that everything is in the right place with the model.

The fresh BMW 7-Series LWB is said to come with a mixt platform, including aluminum, steel and carbon fiber, which would make the model easier with around 600 pounds, unlike the present model which is based on a steel monocoque structure.

Under the hood, the new BMW 7-Series LWB will be coming with a fresh six-cylinder inline diesel burner, alongside a new plug-in hybrid system, being put on a 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol unit.

The model will be also coming with a higher hybrid, sporting a 3.0-liter six-cylinder and hooked at the new 9-speed automatic transmission.

BMW fans always love M cars but let’s face it, they’re not for everyone. If a budget worries you or the performance terrifies you or any other reason may come between you and owning an M5 in particular, then you should worry no more.

As BMW are working on getting you half way there with a M-Sports package for your nice simpler and more affordable BMW 5 series.

The 5 Series is pretty much available at dealers round the world so this special option is almost here but for now it’s going to be hidden under specific BMW camouflage.

As previous M-Sports packages have shown us and as these photos are hinting, this prototype suggests that the new model will receive a deeper front air-dam with larger intakes, side sill extensions and a re-contoured back bumper to accommodate the larger the tailpipes.

Besides what’s visible here, a M-Sports package for a BMW will offer you some trim upgrades like aluminum or carbon-fiber, some M badges everywhere along with more aggressive sport seats and perhaps a different steering wheel.

There are a few mechanical components of serious importance to come along with this package such as, wheels, tires and suspension or brake packages.
