BMW Z4 M Coupe Motorsport

Unveiling in Geneva: On the occasion of the Automobilsalon, Prof Dr Burkhard Göschel, BMW Group Board Member Purchasing and Development, introduced a new racing car for customer motor racing. The Motorsport Version of the BMW Z4 M Coupé, which has already made a big impression as a production model, is the first two-seater BMW Motorsport offers for customer teams. When it came to the development, BMW faced a huge challenge: The car had to have what is needed to race successfully on the world’s most demanding and spectacular racetrack, the Nürburgring’s famous Nordschleife. The new motorsport coupé can be used by private BMW customer teams in the German Endurance Championship and in the Nürburgring 24-Hour Race.
The power unit of the beefy coupe is a BMW Motorsport designed 3.2-litre in-line 6-cylinder engine delivering about 400bhp, with the suspension area in particular benefiting from the knowledge gained from the successful BMW M3 GTR project.

With its varied component ranges, BMW Motorsport and BMW Racing Parts Distribution offer customer teams a new technology platform for use in many miscellaneous international racing and club sport series, with the Nordschleife enthusiasts not being the only interested party, as the brawny coupe also represents the perfect car for use in the Belgian Belcar series and other, non-European, endurance series.

Modification Car | Illegal Car Modifications


There are several modifications available to car owners looking to improve their vehicle's appearance and performance. As some manufacturers are willing to produce modifications for international clients, the differences in legality can become a serious problem for American motorists. This can also be complicated by each different state's laws concerning Between street racers and enthusiasts willing to bend the law, illegal car modifications can readjust a car's performance to be dangerous for the driver and can cause mechanical malfunctions.
Illegal modifications, also known as mods, use aftermarket parts to make a car handle better, reach higher top speeds, and increase gasoline use efficiency, to name a few examples. Some mods are used to reduce the weight of a vehicle, which can increase speed and handling, while others create a more aerodynamic body. Other modifications can include reworked wheels, either providing greater traction or adding aesthetic flair with chrome or spinners.


Although not commonly thought of as a modification, car radios and radar devices can still be considered modifications. While most radios do not violate any laws, radar devices are illegal in many states.
While legal mods can be a fun way to customize a car and enter into legal races, illegal changes to a car can violate safety standards that are put in place for a reason. Mods that affect electrical systems can increase the chance of malfunction, making turn signals and headlights more vulnerable to failing than if factory specifications were retained.
To check which modifications are legal and which ones are not, consult your local law enforcement community. To learn more about how modifications can affect liability in cases of driver negligence, contact an experienced car accident attorney.

Modification Car | BMW 5-Series GT Review | Specifications


X6 is all well and good, so is the 7-series and so did 5-series Touring. BMW confirms, though, that if you create a triangle of three cars, cars that fill the space in the middle would be perfect for a lost generation of potential buyers who want some of each car, but not all.

So Gran Turismo 5-series was built specifically for them and mopping, BMW evangelistically claims, to create a new market segment entirely new - something that the car industry is not managed since the Renault Scenic.

So BMW had a big claim on the back of this car, but it does not offer 7-series front and rear leg space, luxury and entertainment features, and space X5 head, trunk space and cracking monster new engine and gearbox technology.

How does it feel?

All of evangelism that can change you from the car even before you drive, but it would be a mistake with this car.

For starters, there's technology. It has the latest generation 3.0-liter diesel, which is expected to outsell comfortable GT 535i in Europe. Worthy also, because it has the power 241bhp at 4000rpm and 398 pounds feet of torque from 1750 to 3000rpm.

This will help that it was the cheapest of Gran Turismo, but also the best of many GT's engine.

But when it's not the fastest, he never really feels like. side-by-side we show the cost of consistent 535i pulls away, even in the rolling sprint in-tooth, but never condescending 530d version because current is charged through eight teeth, swapping seamlessly regardless of whether new transmission is brilliant in the company's most tender or sportiest setting .

BMW claims will attract a combined cycle of 43.5mpg on the EU, but we're not approaching it. In fact, we halved it comfortably without trying and, with only a 70-liter tank, the GT might stop to refuel more than we wanted.

separate tank a short distance, it will be a good legendarily car. The engine idles at 700rpm, and at 62mph it was just ticking over 1350rpm. At 80mph it's just pulling 1700 revs - which is not even in the peak torque has not - and at 124mph it was still only around 2200rpm. Relax? You bet.

If the driveline is comfortable, the cabin's rear, and then some. This will be a tank to stop dictating you, not your back. Brilliant seats, with soft padding and support a strong start under it - and this applies to all four of them (the bench seat, with tight middle seat while, in fact the standard).

Almost better in the rear as well. It sits in exactly the same wheelbase (and song) as a series of 7 -, so there's plenty of room, but it was good work. Design the dashboard and the front door a beautiful flowing backward, in which the front and rear seats adjust individually and so did their backrests. And BMW has rediscovered the joy of the remaining storage space in the cabin.

BMW makes a lot of the rear hatch, which has a small hole that does not crack and large passenger bulkhead that is not, but what is important is that the space is very flexible, up to 1700 liters with the rear seats folded down.

All it will mean nothing if not well casing is amazing. At 1960kg, 530d GT has every reason to be a floppy mess. Not.

Dynamic Drive Control, which tweaks the gearbox, throttle and steering map and dampers, are standards and ranges from the Comfort Sport + program. Forget extreme (too mired Comfort & Sport + too aggressive on the bump) and stored it in the Normal and Sports and you'll find a great chassis hiding here.

This is balanced, it was never resolved, was quiet, ride quality is brilliant and there is peace so much that it is difficult to imagine how you ever throw another one, apart from falling asleep in it.

Its only flaw visible - and, even when it is enlarged beyond all proportion by the quality of everything else it does not - is tapped from the rear suspension noise as air springs which push back the broken shaft, square-edged holes. It's like that, we are told, because the spring rate has been set for the car is running at maximum load, which is 600kg heavier than the bands.
