BMW Announces Prices of 2011 BMW 5-Series: Today, BMW released U.S. pricing for its all-new 2011 5-Series saloon that will be offered in two flavors in the States, the 535i powered by a 300HP single turbo straight-six and the 550i with a new twin-turbocharged V8 producing 400 ponies. Both feature BMW’s new 8-speed automatic transmission as standard, while a six-speed manual gearbox is available as an option. Surprisingly, BMW dropped prices for both variants of the new 5-Series over the equivalent versions of the previous generation model.

BMW Z4 GT3 Racer with 480HP V8: BMW has delivered the first examples of its Z4 GT3 racer to private teams that will prepare them for use in various national and international championships.

The power is transmitted to the rear-wheels through a six-speed, sequential gearbox with “Quick Shift” function.

Vorsteiner BMW X6M- New autos for 2010: Vorsteiner is the latest aftermarket manufacturer to take on the X6 – in this case, the M version – and its awfulness. Their attempt makes the tumorous X6 stand out from the rest of its freakish kind, but only just.

2011 BMW 335is – New auto of BMW : While BMW has yet to make an official announcement on the all-new 335is Coupe and Convertible, the Bavarian firm uploaded the first official photos of both models on its public website. The 335is, which is believed to be offered initially only in North America, closes the gap between the 300HP 335i (306HP in Euro spec) and the 414HP M3 (420HP for the Euro model).
BMW Z4 sDrive35is with 340HP auto 2010
BMW-Z4-340HP-Auto-2010
While BMW had pretty much ruled out the possibility of creating a successor to the M variants of the Z3 and the previous Z4 with its new hardtop roadster, no one from Munich ever said that there wasn’t going to be a faster and more focused version than the Z4 sDrive35i.
That car is the Z4 sDrive35is -the ‘s’ is what makes the difference- and it will make its world debut at next month’s 2010 Detroit Auto Show before going on sale worldwide in Spring of the same year.
Bypassing BMW’s ridiculous naming system (Z4is or Z4 35is would have been just fine), the range topping Z4 features a more powerful version of the company’s 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged straight six and M-Sports styling and chassis packages.
