A rear-wheel drive small sports car is what makes the BMW 1-Series distinct from other automobiles in its class. Introduced in 2004 as a five-door hatchback, this car has its engine longitudinally-mounted. It also features a 50:50 weight balance and an advanced aluminum multilink suspension. Many of the parts of the BMW 1-Series are the same as those in the E90 3, one of the models of its immediate predecessor, the BMW 3-Series. These similar components include a trapezoidal-link rear axle and MacPherson struts in the car’s front.

Relatively a more affordable model, the BMW 1 ranked among the best-selling BMW cars in its first year in the market, with close to 150,000 units sold. The BMW 1-Series was upgraded in 2007 with the introduction of a three-door model which incorporated modifications in the car’s interior, as well as in its taillights and headlights. The dashboard was also updated and a recommended gear indicator installed for manual transmission models.

Base MSRP for New BMW 1-Series 128i: $30,950
Estimated MPG for BMW 1-Series: 22 City/33 Hwy
Available Trims: 128i, 135i, Couple/Convertible

Golf R32 Vs. BMW 1 Series

BMW 1-Series Review

Possibly one of the world’s fastest and most powerful kinds of convertibles on the market right now is made by G-Power. This 335-km/h G-Power’s M6 Hurricane has been compared with the latest BMW M6. At the height of its performance, it is equipped with a five-liter V10 engine with G-Power BI-Kompressor system that delivers 635 hp.

To make up their engine, G-Power has equipped their car with a high-tech supercharging system. This system uses one belt-driven ASA T1-T2 compressor for each cylinder bank. The engine needs a cooling system; G-Power has inserted a dual-flow water-to-air intercooler system above their engine. The new supercharged M6 V10 engine has a maximum power output of 635 hp / 467 kW at 7,300. Both ASA superchargers spin at a speed of 100,000 rpm and rising. G-Power benefits from their engine, reaching 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds. The top speed of this convertible is 198 mph.

This car depends on the aerodynamics, tires, suspension and the brakes. G-Power has equipped this car with 21-inch light-alloy wheels. Also, G-Power provides their customers with a high performance braking system. Pricing for this car is $287,500 or 183,000 euros. I would recommend this car for people who would like to roll down the roof and bathe in the warm sun.

In celebration of its 20th anniversary, Mosler developed a model called MT900 GTR XX which will be available only in Europe, sorry US.

This car is also equipped with carbon ceramic brakes, KW suspension system, Recaro carbon fiber seats, and a carbon fiber clutch. This use of lightweight items also allows for its weight of only 2425 lbs. The power comes from an LS7 V8 producing 620 horsepower. This car can reach 0-60 mph in less than 3.0 seconds.

I would recommend anyone living in Europe to buy this car because of its light weight and performance.

A compact executive automobile, the BMW 3-Series was launched in 1975 and eventually emerged as BMW’s best selling car. This series, consisting of five different generations in five varying body styles, accounted for almost 40% of BMW’s 2005 car sales. First in the BMW 3-Series is the E21 line which went into production in 1975 till 1983 as a two door model featuring a new center console design angled towards the driver that has become a BMW design standard for many years.

Another BMW 3-Series variant is the E30 sold as a sedan from 1982 to 1991 and as a convertible in 1993. In 1989, the most powerful E30 was launched in the US as the M3 packing 192 hp S14 straight-4 with a four-valve head. The BMW 3-Series also boasts of its E36 which was manufactured from 1991 to 2000 and marketed as a compact executive car/entry-level luxury car.

Estimated Price Range for Used BMW 3-Series: $9,000-$30,000
Estimated MPG for BMW 3-Series : 18 City/28 Hwy
Available Trims: 328I, 325Ci, 330Ci, 330i, 325i, 330Xi, 328Xi

The Sang Noir has a special edition version from the Bugatti 16.4. Veyron has given its share to the legendary Bugatti Atlantique 57S. Different from the Veyron, Veyron has included a black-themed exterior and a different grille, side mirrors, and new unique wheel with an orange interior.

Reaching 0-60 mph is no stranger to this car in less than 2.6 seconds, with a top speed of 253 mph. A new engine has been brought in called the Quad-Turbo W16 and a torque that has been weighed 922 lb-ft @ 2200 rpm.
