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

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.

Safe Driving Tips

Parents, when your teen took on-the-road lessons, the instructor had his/her own rear view mirror. You can also get one for approximately $4 at any Wal-Mart, Target or baby supply store. They can be found in the baby section and were designed for looking at your baby in the rear seat. They work wonderfully for seeing traffic behind the car when driving with your teen.

bullet Before driving a car, do a simple safety check. Turn on the lights and walk around the vehicle to ensure that all lights are in working order. Also check your blinkers for proper operation. Look for any fluid leaks or things hanging from the vehicle. Check that the tires are properly inflated.

bullet When you get into the car, adjust all mirrors and seats before placing the key in the ignition. To properly adjust the left mirror place your head against the left window and adjust the mirror so that you can just see the left side of the car. For the right, move your head towards the center of the vehicle and adjust the right mirror in the same way. When you are sitting correctly in the driver's seat, you will not be able to see your vehicle, but your

spots will be greatly reduced!

Always wear your seatbelts

Always drive with your headlights on, a car is visible for nearly 4 times the distance with it's headlights on even during daytime hours.

When stopping at a stop sign, be sure to feel the car rock backward and spell S-T-O-P to yourself before proceeding. Always turn your head to look left, then right, straight ahead, then left again before proceeding.

When a light turns green, look left, then right, straight ahead, then left again before proceeding through the light. Notice all vehicles and ensure that someone else is not going to run the light.

Keep your eyes moving. Notice what is happening on the sides of the road and check behind you through your mirrors every 6-8 seconds.

When driving on a two lane road that allows parking on the right, stay toward the center line to allow for room if someone were to open their door to exit their vehicle in front of your car. This forethought will help you from swerving to miss an opening door. If there is no parking allowed on the road position your car toward the right to allow for more room between you and oncoming traffic.

Expect the other drivers to make mistakes and think what you would do if a mistake does happen. For example, do not assume that a vehicle coming to a stop sign is going to stop. Be ready to react if it does not stop. Never cause an accident on purpose, even if a pedestrian or another vehicle fails to give you the right-of-way.

Every time that you re-fuel, check your oil and other fluid levels. Look for noticeable leaks throughout the engine compartment.

If your car stalls on the road, do not leave your car. Wait for the proper authorities to come to your aid. Do not let someone talk you into leaving your vehicle.

When traveling behind other vehicles, there should be at least a 4 second space between your vehicles. When the car in front of you passes a stationary object, slowly count to yourself. If you pass the object before the allotted time, you should back off. When traveling at night or inclement weather, these times should be doubled.

Don't talk on a cell phone while driving. Phones detract from your ability to concentrate on the road and increase your chance of a collision by nearly 400%. If you must use the phone, pull over to a safe, well-lit parking lot and place your call there. After completing your call you may continue on your way.

Take a lesson from pilots. When leaving for an out of home trip, be sure to give an itinerary to someone back at home with the route of travel, approximate time of arrival and a contact number at your destination. Do not deviate from this plan without informing your at-home contact. If you are traveling a long distance, check in throughout the trip with a current location and any changes in your route or times. If something were to happen, this information may be used to narrow the search.

When being approached by an emergency vehicle, pull to the right shoulder of the road and STOP. Put on your hazard lights to allow others to see you better.

Carry in your vehicle, in an easy to find place, all contact numbers that you may need as well as Emergency contact information, personal information and any outstanding medical needs that you may have.

Leave early, plan to arrive 10 minutes before the appointed time. Speeding does not increase your ability to arrive on time, rather it only increases your chances of not arriving at all.

When traveling on a multiple lane road, keep in mind that the left most lanes are for passing only. If not actively passing a vehicle, stay in the right lanes, allowing others to pass.

Avoid the "No-Zone" with trucks or busses, they cannot see you from many areas. Remember if you cannot see the driver in the truck's rear view mirrors, they cannot see you! Also remember that trucks make large right turns.



There is an old saying... "If the roads are wet, then drive like it's snowing. If the roads have snow, then drive like they're icy. If the roads are icy, then don't drive."


In inclement weather, if it is necessary to reduce one's speed, the brake should be applied slowly without making sudden moves. When making sudden moves it's much easier to lose control of your vehicle.

Remember as your speed increases so does your braking distance. If you double your speed, you quadruple your braking distance. If you double the weight of your vehicle, you double the stopping distance.

Make the best of your behind-the-wheel time

The test drive is one of the most important parts of buying a car. No matter what the car reviews say, if a vehicle doesn't fit you and your lifestyle, you're going to become dissatisfied with it long before that payment book is empty. The test drive is your opportunity to make your own personal assessment in a thorough, hands-on manner. If you're attentive to the details here, you can quickly tell whether or not you and the vehicle are meant for a long-term relationship.
When it comes to test driving a vehicle, the more time behind the wheel on various roads, the better. If you can arrange to rent a vehicle that's similar to the one you're considering, it could be worth the cost to be able to spend several days in it. Besides helping you become familiar with the vehicle, a rental car—without the new-car gloss—can also provide a reality check by showing you what yours might be like a year or more down the road. Most often, though, you'll have to make the most of the dealership test-drive.


Here are some tips:

1.Don't rush. Allow yourself the time to do it properly. A car's true personality (the side you won't find on paper) really only shows up while driving. Also, make sure you can concentrate on the vehicle. If you feel self-conscious or distracted by the salesperson, politely ask him or her if you can drive alone.

2.Take another person to the dealership. Your friend can give you a second opinion, take notes while you're driving, or run interference with the salesperson, if necessary.

3. Start with the basics. How easy is it to get in and out of the vehicle? Some taller vehicles require a high step-up, which can be awkward for shorter people.

BMW M3 Sedan

BMW has unveiled the sedan body variant of the new BMW M3 which has made it’s return after a decade-long hiatus. From the front, the BMW M3 Sedan looks nothing like it’s lesser E90 Sedan brother, instead from A-pillar forward onwards it uses the BMW M3 Coupe’s nose which is actually longer than the sedan.
The rear of the M3 Sedan is similiar to the normal E90 sedan (this means those ugly rear brake lights too unfortunately) except for a different rear bumper which incorporates a diffuser and four exhaust tips, and a little bootlid spoiler on the top. The M3 sedan also lacks the M3 coupe’s exposed carbon fibre roof, but the press release doesn’t really say if the sedan lacks it or it is just painted over.

Under the bulging hood is the same 4.0 liter high compression double-VANOS V8 in the M3 coupe which makes 414 hosepower (SAE) at 8,300rpm and 400Nm of torque at 3,900rpm, with 340Nm available consistently up to 6,500rpm. More details on the engine available by clicking here. Mechanically, the chassis of the new BMW M3 Sedan is also identical to the M3 Coupe - the same suspension, differential, brakes, aluminium chassis, and a 50:50 weight balance body.

While the new M3 Coupe does not look all that outrageous like say, a Lancer Evo, but it still has very obvious sporty intentions. The M3 Sedan however looks more like a sleeper car - except for the M badge and the bumpers of course. BMW even chose a rather conservative color for the M3 Sedan used for these product shots. It’s obvious the M3 Sedan was designed to discretely hide it’s potential until the driver decides to open wide all eight individual throttles.

Look at more photos after the jump, or read more about the new M3 in my posts on the coupe body model and it’s V8 engine below.
