The new models include bikes in the Sport, Tour, Urban and Enduro segments and will offer motorbike enthusiasts in the Capital the latest in quality, durability and technology on two wheels.
Just over a year ago, the BMW X6 was launched. It was an entirely new type of car, a unique design concept and driving dynamics never seen before in its sector. Now in its second year, the oh-look-at-me-I-am-weird X6 has rewarded the world’s leading premium automotive manufacturer, becoming a firm favourite with oh-look-at-me-I-am-weird customers in the GCC.
I have a 2006 BMW Z4 Roadster 2.5i, purchased in April 2008 from the BMW agent with 37,000 km. The previous owner was an Emirati woman, and from what I can tell, it was looked after extremely well as the car was in superb condition when I bought it. After driving many cars in the Dhs 100000-150000 price range over a few months, I strolled into the used car dealership by chance one afternoon, had a test drive, and then walked out Dhs 1000 poorer after putting down my deposit.
The 2009 BMW 3-Series has been facelifted mildly, if you can even figure out what has been changed. These are first photos of the car, and it is set to launch at the Paris Auto Show. It looks like engines will remain the same.
Photos of the all-new 2009 BMW 7-Series have hit the web before its upcoming official launch. The new model looks strikingly better than the outgoing blob, which can truly be called the ugliest sedan in the history of BMW.
BMW let loose their designers to create the weirdest possible concept car, and they came up with the GINA Light Visionary Model. GINA stands for “Geometry and Functions in ‘N’ Adaptations” and the car’s single most interesting feature is its outer skin, which is made entirely out of textile fabric, pulled tightly around a frame of metal parts and carbon-fibre wires. The best part of this BMW Z4 lookalike is that it can change shape.
German Auto Zeitung magazine snagged some spy photos of the upcoming 2009 BMW 7-Series. The new model seems to be going back to basics in terms of design, and looks production-ready already.
