Answer 3

It all depends on: 1) who you want to impress, yourself or others, and 2) what you want to do with the car. All are great vehicles but with many different models w/in each car mfr's lineup it's a tough call. For a small car the mini is great but pricey (it's a BMW anyway). The Beemer, Merc, Cad and Jag are equally fine autos. The Hummer is a Chevy and easily repaired (and lots cheaper to repair) but loves gasoline. My favorite is the Mini Cooper but I like small cars. But see 1) above for your first clue. Or get the Hummer and tow the Mini!

Answer 9

I ll go with BMW. Its the Ultimate Drivin Machine. BMW's main competitors include Audi, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volvo.

The current BMW model lineup is split into what they call "Series 2", traditionally identified by a single digit - e.g. the 3 Series.

In 2004 BMW announced plans to make odd-numbered series saloon/sedan and estate/wagon models (BMW calls its estates/wagons Touring models), while even-numbered series will be two-door coupés and cabriolets. This convention started informally in 1976 with the introduction of the 6 Series and later continued in 1989 with the 8 Series, but died off when the latter was discontinued in 1999. This practice was revived as the Z4 replaced the aging Z3 roadster in 2003 and continues as the new 6 Series augments the existing BMW 5 Series.

There is possibly a chance BMW will release a V3 or V5. The V3 will probably be similar to the 3-Series, X3, and will compete against Mercedes-Benz B-Class. The V5 will probably be similar to the 5-Series & X5, and will compete against Mercedes-Benz R-Class.

Coupé versions of the 3 Series sedans have always been named 3 Series vehicles, as well. The company had considered renaming future 2-door derivatives of the 3 Series as 4 Series cars, but this plan has officially been shelved.

The M letter was used prior to the shift to Series-named cars to designate special "Motorsport" models, beginning with the M1 supercar. Later the M letter was used as a prefix to top-of-the-range models which had received special treatment by the BMW Motorsport division. The first such car was the M535i of 1979. As these models started gaining popularity the Motorsport division was split into a separate company. BMW M GmbH now makes sporty models based on the production cars with very extensive chassis and engine upgrades. The M3, M5, and M6 are based respectively on the 3, 5, and 6 Series and are recognised by enthusiasts all over the world as truly excellent sports cars while retaining the practicality of the models they extend.

With the advent of the SUV, BMW also added the X5 - and in 2004 the X3 - to their model range to capitalize on this growing market. BMW calls its SUV models Sports Activity Vehicles. A possible future V Series multi-purpose vehicle will offer practicality for large families, similar to the Mercedes-Benz R-Class.


1 Series

A small family car launched in Autumn 2004 in Europe; and the coupe 135i will be launched in the U.S in Autumn 2007. It is the only rear wheel drive vehicle in its class. A coupé has been announced for late 2007, and there are concepts of a hatchback and a minivan. Plans to label these variants as 2 Series have reportedly been scrubbed. It has the same engines as the 318i, 318d, 320i, 320d and 330i as well as a small 1.6l I4 in the 116i.



3 Series

The 3 Series is BMW's entry-level luxury sedan, now in its fifth generation (E90). The E90 line has been available in the United States and Canada since the 2006 model year. The E90 is currently available in the 318i (detuned 2.0l I4 engine producing 129 hp), 318d (detuned 2.0l I4 diesel producing 122 hp), 320i (with 2.0l I4 producing 150 hp), 320d (with I4 diesel producing 163 hp), 323i (with I6 producing 174 hp), 325i (with a detuned 3.0l I6 engine producing 215 hp or a 2.5l I6 producing 218 hp), 330d (3.0l I6 producing 231 hp) and the 330i (with a 3.0l I6 engine producing 255 hp), as well as the AWD-versions of these two models, named 325xi and 330xi. The new BMW 3 Series sedan (E90) and coupé (E92), both of which have recently been released, carry the 328i, 328xi, 335i, and 335xi badging. There will not be a separate "Ci" designation for coupés. The 328i will feature a 3.0l I6 with 230 hp and 200 lb-ft while the new 335i will feature BMW's new 3.0l I6 twin turbo motor bolsting 300 hp and 300 lb-ft. Incidentally, these new turbofans are made by Mitsubishi[citation needed]. As 2006 models, the 3 Series coupé and convertible are only available in the fourth generation E46 body style (with a 2.5l I6 producing 184 hp for the 325Ci/Cic and a 3.0l I6 producing 225 hp for the 330Ci/Cic) until the fall of 2006, when the new 2007 model year coupés will be available. Unlike past generations, the 2006/7 3 Series coupés would have its own internal code of E92. Also available is the all wheel drive Touring (estate) model(E91). A special edition 320si that is the production version of the 2006 World Touring Car.

A Retractable hard-top cabriolet was also introduced recently, a first for BMW.

For the 2006 model year, the 545i had been phased out in favour of the 550i, with a 4.8l V8 producing 360 hp.

BMW has always had a very tight and loyal community following. They're one of the few automakers that support driving their cars to their limits, suggesting "spirited driving" in certain operation manuals. In the summer of 2001, BMW even went as far as starting the BMW Films website, showcasing some sporty models being driven to extremes. These videos are very popular within the enthusiast community and have opened the eyes of many owners looking for a sporty/fun car. However, even with all this success, on October 21st, 2005, the BMW Films were taken offline.

Every year since 1999, BMW enthusiasts have met up in Santa Barbara, CA to attend Bimmerfest. Perhaps one of the largest brand-specific gatherings in the U.S. Over 3000 people attended this past year (2006), and there were over 1000 cars present.
