This year, the BMW 3 Series has made Car and Driver’s acclaimed 10Best List for an unprecedented 20th year in a row. Known around the world for its sporty looks, superior handling and powerful engines, the 3 Series has been a perennial favorite amongst driving enthusiasts and Car and Driver writers alike. And it’s no surprise, especially when,"the chassis balance is exquisite, with handling that encourages risky behavior but a ride that you wouldn’t feel bad subjecting your grandmother to.” Not only has the 3 Series been on every 10Best List since 1992, but it’s “a feat unmatched by any other vehicle on the market.” And that’s an incredible accomplishment for our most popular BMW.

The “most beautiful form of dynamics beyond the standard“ in saloon form was launched earlier this summer. Now the tuning specialist AC Schnitzer has applied the “Power Treatment” to the new dynamic BMW in the Touring variant, with numerous special accessories. At the same time, the product range for the saloon has been expanded to include aerodynamic components for M-Technik vehicles.

BMW has been one of the leading vehicle manufacturers for as long as anyone can remember. Quality, performance and reliability has been a focus of BMW. These are big factors in what has kept consumers coming back year after year. K&N has also focused on these factors and it shows in their reusable air filters including the 33-2970 which is available for the BMW models listed below. Many of these models are available in either the US, or Europe and the 33-2970 is a recommended upgrade for any of these 6 cylinder 3.0L vehicles.

The new generation of the 5-series Touring is once again setting the standards for luxury class vehicles - even in the area of suspension. A challenge which the engineers of H&R gladly took on. The result of the complex development work is a sport spring set including rear self-levelling links, which bring the estate car’s front axle around 35 millimetres and its rear axle around 15 millimetres closer to the tarmac. The basic characteristics of the elegant lines are accentuated by the suspension set without weakening the overall design concept.

After 4,000 miles of some of the fiercest competition in auto racing, the battle for the 2010 American Le Mans Series Manufacturers and Team championships came down to the very last mile of GT action Saturday night at Road Atlanta. And it was during that last mile that a season’s worth of toil paid off for the BMW Rahal Letterman Racing Team as it clinched both the ALMS Manufacturers and Team titles in just its second year in the series, topping the highly-competitive GT category by just a single point. Finishing fourth while one of the Risi Competizione Ferrari’s were leading would have left the BMW RLR squad one point out of the top spot for the season, but when the Ferrari ran out of fuel less than a mile from the finish line, the title switched hands.

BMW designed xDrive to preserve the driving character and spirited handling of a rear-wheel drive sports sedan, while adding the traction and stability of all-wheel drive. To achieve this balance, our engineers created an intelligent system that sends most of the power to the rear wheels in normal conditions. When the road turns slick, xDrive senses and adjusts power to the wheel or wheels with the most traction. The result is a vehicle that truly handles and feels like a BMW in virtually any road condition.

The 2009 BMW M3 is a slick piece of German engineering that is available as a coupe, sedan or a hardtop convertible. Only one trim level is available on the M3 that was created by using a BMW 3 series as its base. Features that come standard on this BMW include alloy wheels with performance tires, leather seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, heated power-adjustable sport seats with driver memory that allows drivers to have their seating position programmed. Another one of the great standard features on the M3 is the impressive multi speaker sound system that is sure to excite all music lovers. In addition all the M3’s receive exterior styling upgrades that make this BMW exciting to drive.

Another GTRS3 coupe was recently spotted driving in the streets of Dubai and London last month. This particular example features the factory silverstone and optical carbon fiber paint scheme concept. The vehicle also sits on gunmetal V-306 forged 3 piece wheels with Michelin PS2 sport tires.

The new generation of wheels which was specially designed for the more sporting BMW models of the 1-series, 3-series, Z4 and X1, embodies an apparently fundamental contradiction. A reduction in weight with the same unchanged wheel diameter and width. This trick has been pulled off by the AC Schnitzer engineers and designers in collaboration with legendary wheel manufacturer “FUCHS“.
