I don’t think this is so important when you choose a car namely where it is built. It’s true, there are some people looking to the country where the product is built but there are still human hands and not alien hands or at last this is what I think.

At the Geneva Auto Show, the BMW chairman and the BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer made an announce saying that this is going to be the third car that is going to be built in China by BMW. This BMW X1 is going to have as rivals the Audi Q5 and Volkswagen Tiguan.

I’m kind of worried about this even that I know it won’t happen namely that Hummer also tried to move from U.S. to China but it couldn’t do that so now the brand is dead. I know that BMW is not trying to move, it is trying to develop a plant right there but I thought you need to know this.

I have to say that I skipped this video, but at the same time, there were few people talking about it but now I saw it and I would like to share it with you and at the same time to say few words about it.

I want to say at the beginning that the video is cool but it could be much cooler if they would do as they usually make their videos, I mean in a very professional way, it would be better, I think that this video was made in a very short time so they didn’t have time for it.

Anyway, talking about what contains this trailer, it shows a bit of what BMW came at the Geneva Auto Show namely the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept, BMW X6 ActiveHybrid, BMW 1 Series Convertible, BMW M3 Convertible and there will also be some other surprises so if you read this blog, you will find what I’m talking about.

Here are some really cool high res photos with BMW CLR X650 M Lumma because they are revealing in a very cool way the exterior but also the interior and this car really exists in reality comparing to other tuning kits that are made only in the virtual space.

More exactly, this BMW CLR X650 M Lumma is going to be revealed at the Geneva Auto Show and I noticed a thing namely that a lot of cars are being revealed before the official launch and this time they are revealed before the launch at the Geneva Auto Show.

The original BMW X6 M was having a twin-turbo V8 engine which was able to develop up to 547 horsepower so after the tuning package, the power of that engine was upgraded to 641 horsepower and also a maximum torque of 612 lb-ft. also, the top speed of this BMW CLR X650 M Lumma is at 312 kilometers per hour.

If someone would ask me my favorite ActiveHybrid after something like 6 months, it would probably be this BMW ActiveHybrid 5 because I love the BMW 5 Series but at the same time I love the hybrids built by BMW so this would be in the top of my favorite BMW cars.

I also know that there is just one week left until the release at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show. I would also like to tell you that at the moment, this BMW ActiveHybrid 5 remains a concept comparing to BMW ActiveHybrid 7 or BMW ActiveHybrid X6.

People are expecting from this BMW ActiveHybrid 5 to come with a 3.0 liter turbocharged straight-six engine and of course that if it is a hybrid, that engine is combined with a 40 kW electric engine which makes this car to be a perfect city car but also a good car to travel with.

I must say that I never thought that there will ever exists a competitor for BMW M3 because this car is so unique but BMW is really going to this and is quite a good thing. Anyway, you should first know that BMW will make an ActiveHybrid version for any BMW car and I really thought at this before to know it.

As you can read in the title, this BMW M3 Competition Package will come with an auto start stop system in the spring of this year. This system makes an economy of 8% from the fuel that you usually “eat”.

The new BMW X5 M will be also launched bar to bar with that BMW M3 Competition Package at the Geneva Auto Show and it will come with 19 or 20 inch wheels in special tires, larger air intakes, satinized aluminum window surrounds, leather steering wheel, footrest and some interior tweaks.

This concept by BMW was shown at Geneva Auto Show. Some pictures with BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo (PAS or Progressive Activity Sedan) were taken at Geneva Auto Show. The car looks great from all points of view. It has the new BMW 7 Series’ grill, rump from the X6, headlamps from the BMW CS Concept, etc.

BMW 5 Series GT’s interior is beautiful, it has great materials of high quality, the interior looks elegant and sportiness. Also, I like very much the door’s faces. Per overall, the design of this BMW Concept is great. I’m sure all, or almost the fans of BMW like this car. We do not have more details right now, but when we will have more details we will post them on the blog, so stay tuned.

My opinion is that BMW is on the good way. I think it’s the time to see some beautiful pictures (thanks to 5Post for photos):
