2008 BMW M6 New

With the new BMW M6 presents the BMW M GmbH 6 Series luxury coupe in its sportiest expression. This is the big BMW M6 coupe as the noblest and most powerful 6 Series, which always: five liters capacity, ten cylinders, 507 hp (373 kW) power, 520 Newton meters torque and engine speeds on the 8000-borders.


Along with its uncompromising sportiness trimmed to gear catapulted this engine BMW M6 to the rank of a super-snazzy sports cars. Unlike its competitors, usually two, however, the M6 offers space and comfort of a typical 2 +2 seater and a BMW luxury equipment of the upper class.

Is also the BMW M6 Series conspicuously present, especially for the M6. Clever, but discreet design measures from the M Coupe from the family is still powerful and sporty. As with all design activities for an M car is also the function to the forefront: The V10 engine requires about twice as much cooling air as the V8 engine in the BMW 645Ci. Its shape of openings at the same time strengthening the sports character.


Below the doors stresses from aerodynamic reasons heavily contoured side also the impression of dynamic athletes. Visually, he stretches the coupe, the BMW M6 is still flat on the road seems to crouch. The car specially designed for this 19-inch forged aluminum wheels with their five double-spokes highly sensitive and easily into the eye is almost completely free of the large brake discs.

The rear apron with its characteristic diffuser opening also met primarily an aerodynamic function, but is also an attractive visually stunning. A unique design improves the underbody airflow and reduces lift.

BMW M6 new interior
For the BMW M3 CSL was the first time a roof made of carbon developed and manufactured. After this small series is now the M6 coupe with a carbon roof. The racing derived from the carbon fiber material weighs at the same stability and crash safety considerably less than aluminum or steel. Reduced mass, the focus shifts to the bottom, and are not accelerated or slowed need.

Inside the M6 presents itself at the base model with the nobler Merino leather interior in three different colors or - at extra cost - with a full leather interior, which no longer wishes open.

Even the ride is over the base model barely lower. And in consumption and environmental impact, the M6 fits seamlessly into the BMW automobile portfolio.


BMW M5 and M6 have with the V10 engine of a rare high-speed engines in sedans and coupe series. Within the brand embodies the V10 is technically demanding and engine concept. But power is not everything. Rather, it depends on the acceleration behavior and driving dynamics. This depends to a weight of the vehicle, on the other side, straight through the alignment of the drive wheels. The latter derives from the engine torque and translation.


The compact, naturally aspirated torque, the Royal among all strategies, maximum engine power. From 8250 min-1 moves the V10 speed in a region that until recently was reserved for racing cars. As a result, he exceeds the magical limit of 100 hp per liter engine capacity. His performance is so specific to racing level. M5 differs from the M6 by an even stronger, more athletic sound.

The concept of a high-speed motor, if the engine with a properly translated gearbox. Only thus can the engine, the available torque over short translation into optimum thrust implemented.

With the seven-speed gearbox is exactly the SMG gearbox is available, the power of the V10 engine in Idealf
















Subaru Impreza 2.0R Sports Wagon

The Impreza is the basic vehicle for the World Rally Car, the Subaru in the FIA World Rally Championship starts. In Europe, the Impreza 2.0R as Sports Wagon (Wagon) from a price of 24,990 euros ( NoVa. & VAT) in 2006.

It is an electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual gearbox with gear ratios "Dual Range" for the election. With an activated shifter is the reduction gear "Dual-Range". The driver turns in a "low-range" and thus increases the torque considerably, which on steep slopes, gentle terrain and operating in the trailer very useful.

To Pass or Not to Pass

Passing another car can be tricky for the new driver. Whenever in DOUBT on whether you can safely pass, don't try it. Here are some passing tips, many of them listed in the Drive Right book.


Don't Pass


* When there is a solid yellow line on your side
* When you're uncertain there is enough time or space
* When you can't see around a curve or over a hill
* When behind multiple cars and passing one car doesn't really make any difference
* On two lane roads, don't pass tractors or trucks or other vehicles you can't see around
* In hazardous weather conditions
* When another car is coming toward you in the opposite lane
* When a car is passing you
* When there is construction or road work
* When the car in front of you is going the maximum speed limit
* When on narrow roads, on bridges, or in tunnels
* When you are unfamiliar with the car you are driving and its capabilities
* Don't play leap frog by passing a friend that just passed you



Don't pass in any of the above situations.
Passing with Caution


* Only pass if there's a dotted line on your side.
* Check that the passing lane is clear.
* Make sure you have plenty of space to pass safely.
* Signal before you pass.
* Pass at least ten miles per hour faster than the car you're passing while not exceeding the speed limit.
* Make sure you have cleared the passed car with enough space before pulling back into your lane.

Parallel Parking

Dave from the Freedom Driving School suggests the following:
The S method

1. Signal and pull up approx. 3 feet away from the car you want to

park behind, aligning your rear tires with the other car's rear bumper.

2. Put car into REVERSE, and turn wheels ALL THE WAY to the

RIGHT.

3. Slowly back-up until you are at a 45 degree angle. STOP.

4. Turn the wheels ALL THE WAY to the LEFT. (Walter from a driver's school in Canada from yd.com recommends that you roll very slowly while you turn the wheels to avoid putting damaging stress on the tire sidewalls and steering components.)

5. Slowly back-up until you are parallel with the curb.

If done correctly you should be less then 12 inches from the curb.

Practice will improve your judgment.
The Drive Right book offers these tips:

1. Select a space that is at least six feet longer than your car.

2. Flash your brake lights and put on your turn signal before you pull in.

3. Always look back to check traffic.

4. Take it slow and ease into the spot.

Exiting a parallel parking space

1. Back-up straight as far as you can go without touching the car behind.

2. Turn your wheels all the way to the left (in the U.S.) Then make sure that you put your car in drive. (When I took the driver's test, the person before me parallel parked their car fine, but forgot this important step when pulling out of the space--and failed their test.)

3. Put on your turn signal.

4. Check traffic, including your blind spot.

5. Make sure your right fender has enough room to clear the car in front of you.

6. Turn wheels slowly to the right when you are half-way out of the parking space.

General Tips

* Always wear your seat belt--and make sure all passengers buckle up, too.


* Adjust your car's headrest to a height behind your head--not your neck--to minimize whiplash in case you're in an accident.


* Never try to fit more people in the car than you have seatbelts for them to use.


* Obey the speed limits, Going too fast gives you less time to stop or react. Excess speed is one of the main causes of teenage accidents.


* Don't run red lights.


* Use turn signals to indicate your intention to turn or to change lanes. Turn it on to give the cars behind you enough time to react before you take the action. Also, make sure the signals turns off after you've completed the action.


* When light turns green, make sure intersection clears before you go.


* Don't drive like you own the road; drive like you own the car.


* Make sure your windshield is clean. At sun rise and sun set, light reflecting off your dirty windshield can momentarily blind you from seeing what's going on.


* Drive into your garage straight, not on an angle. Another teen thought her car would straighten out before she got inside, but instead she dented the car and broke the molding on the garage.


* Make sure your car has gas in it. Don't ride around with the gauge on empty--who knows where you might get stranded.


* Don't drink and drive, and don't ride with anyone who has been drinking. Call parents or friends to take you home if you need a ride.


* Don't take drugs or drive if you've taken any. Don't ride with anyone who has been using drugs. Even some over the counter drugs can make you drowsy. Check label for warnings.
