WHAT COULD POSSIBLY IMPROVE ON THE 2008 BMW 7 SERIES? HOW ABOUT THE 2009 BMW 7 SERIES!

Just when you think you've got something great, the world up and changes on you. Imagine thinking BMW could improve on their 2008 7 Series. Well, think again!

This is the year of change. The new 2009 BMW 7 Series is sporting a brand spanking new look, an advanced night vision system, front side view cameras for safer maneuvering and hard to see items, Active Blind Spot lane departing system, a speed warning system that can literally read road signs, a brand new turbo charged V8, and great new styling. Did I say new styling?

BMW's 5th generation flag ship 7 Series has everything you'd expect from BMW, and so much more. Imagine having to compete to such a high standard in order to excite even current BMW owners!

Further still, imagine a brand new 4.4 liter turbo charged V8 that packs a walloping 400 horsepower at 5500 RPM, with 450 pounds of torque at 1800 RPM for an unbelievable, sling-shot passing performance. And it's all done at barely a whisper. Talk about destroying the competition on the road, with all the grace and sophistication of the 2009 BMW 7 Series.

This year, BMW has delivered the most technologically advanced BMW ever with their new generation i-Drive - a 40 gigabyte hard drive for audio and navigation system and 13 gigabyte music storage. The optional sport package includes Dynamic Driving Control which allows for adjustments of suspension, an active roll stabilization to counter body lean, throttle response, transmission shift characteristics and power steering.

BMW's new night vision has the ability to recognize pedestrians on or near the roadway. And the keyless entry and starting will continue to be available.

To make owning a BMW 7 Series trouble free, a 4 year, 50,000 mile warrantee includes bumper to bumper, unlimited roadside service and all scheduled maintenance. You may also choose to participate in BMWs European Delivery Program.

This year, BMW has apparently made every attempt to satisfy their most discriminating luxury automotive buyers, current BMW owners.

BMW North America has just released the U.S pricing for the new 2009 BMW Z4. As expected, there is a price increase over the previous Z4 generation, but still significantly lower than the German pricing.

The entry model, BMW Z4 sDrive30i has a base price of $46,575 and the twin-turbo powered sDrive35i jumps over the 50k mark, more specifically, $52,475. Both prices include the Destination & Handling fee.

The Cold Weather package costs $1,000 for both models, while the Premium Package was set for the Z4 sDrive30i at $3,900 or $2,800 if you’re buying the Sport Package as well. The Premium Package for the high-end sDrive35i model costs $2,500.

The Sport Package has a more complicated pricing scheme. If you’re buying the sDrive30i or sDrive35i without the Premium options, then the Sport Package is priced at $2,300. Include the Premium and then you’re only paying $1,900.

For those of you looking for the ultimate performance on your new roadster, the 19" wheels with performance tires are priced at $1,200 (available only for the sDrive35i). The new 7-Speed double clutch transmission is available as well only for the twin-turbo engine and it will set you back $1,525.

Powered by the amazingly powerful 4.4 liter V8 twin-turbo engine that outputs 400 horsepower and 450lb-ft torque, it has the sound of the //M product.

There is not one option not available in BMW X6 xDrive50i versus the M5 or M6, but the biggest advantage is AWD which is the best we have so far, and minor - rear entertainment system. Next year they will put it into the X5, X3 , 3 and 5 series. It is called Dynamic Performance Control and its advantage lays in the fact that it helps eliminates understeer.

The twin-turbo engine from X6 will be put in the new generation BMW 750Li next spring.

Made for quality, safety, comfort and class, the BMW 3 Series takes first place among all competition. With four and five out of five stars in performance, safety, reliability, and looks, should you be driving anything else?

0 to 60 in 6.3 seconds with a manual transmission puts the BMW 3 Series at the top of its game. Buyers willing to pay a little more, seats them in the finest luxury midsize car on the road. Compared to the Infiniti G37, BMW 3 series excels. BMW's most prestigious work of art is available as a coupe, sedan or hardtop convertible.

328i and 328 xi models with 200 pound-feet of torque and a 3.0-liter inline-six cylinder engine puts out 230 horsepower. With an automatic transmission along with a six-cylinder engine and the new lightweight magnesium/aluminum composite alloy engine block, the BMW 3 Series gets 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. Better yet, the 335i and 335xi models, with 300 horsepower, 300 pound-feet of torque go from 0 to 60 in 5.4 seconds trailing behind the Ferrari F430 by only two-tenths. MPG for city is 17 and 26 mpg for highway.

Both models come with four-wheel ventilated anti-lock disc brakes with Dynamic Brake Control. A new feature of BMW is the automatic drying of the brakes in wet weather, wet brake rotors don't stop as quick. Another great feature; when a foot is removed from the gas pedal the car automatically positions the discs a little closer to the pads preparing to stop.

Trunk space was increased by providing run-flat tires on the BMW 3 Series with no spare tire. Although most reviewers were satisfied with the standard suspension, sport tuned suspension is built in to the Coupe and Convertible editions. The upgraded suspension is optional for the Sedan.

Interior standard features include dual-zone automatic climate control, real walnut wood trim and standard leatherette. Premium package options include leather upholstery, auto dimming mirrors, Bluetooth connectivity, and eight way power seats with two driver memory settings.

Safety is rated high for BMW 3 Series models. Performing well in government crash tests this car has been deemed extremely safe. Using high strength steel, automatic seatbelt pretension, air bags inflated at three different speeds, and automatic locking retractors protect passengers in the event of a crash.

For those impatient BMW lovers get in line for 2009. Just when you thought all was invented, with a revised front and rear bumper, more sculpted hood and changed headlights, the BMW 3 Series comes out with enhanced performance and an entirely new sportier look.
