2012 BMW 1 Series the Bavarian automaker, like its fellow German Audi and Mercedes-Benz brand, has exploited its product offering with the spin-off of its established models. So the two doors of the 6 Series has generated a four-door version GranCoupe. The 5 Series sedan and wagon also has given us the strange provided 5 Series Gran Turismo. However, on 1 of the Gran Turismo series is another matter, since it is not expected to share the small rear-drive platform with its namesake, recently revised, but rather a new set of front-wheel drive platform.

BMW Bayerische Motoren Werke, has the word "engine" in its name, and the brand it used to be defined by a range of excellent engines. In recent years, ranging variations has been reduced to 2.0-liter inline-four engine and six-cylinder 3.0-liter for most models, with the odd V-8, V-10 or V -12 drive luxury models. 2012 BMW 1 Series The face-lifted a series, now launching in Europe as a five-door hatchback, runs a radical break with the old world of BMW engines: It will be powered exclusively by turbocharged four-cylinder.

The 2012 BMW 1 Series nomenclature of the new 1-series still obscures the real engine capacity, which accidentally coincides only a few models: the 116i to 134 hp and the 118i to 168 horsepower are powered by a gasoline engine 1.6 liter PSA jointly developed with and shared not only with the Mini family, but also with a large number of models of Peugeot and Citroen.

BMW 760i

E65/E66 Automatic Platform is the basis for the year 2002 until now BMW-7 series. It replaced the BMW E38 2002. E65 is the designation of nucleotide version of the little wheel cars, and E66 is the identification of the long wheel base version.

The arrival of this model is to announce a new styling era for BMW, the work of graphic designer chief Chris Bangle, with bold visual cues that are not prime in vista without controversy mentioned from E38 community. The E66 E65 seems to get favors after arriving in color, and seems to be the gatekeeper for styling clews future BMW models yet to come. The "Bangle-butt" rear styling has been especially controversial, and soften in the Restyling 2005.

The most important origination contained in the 7 is also the most controversial one : the iDrive organisation. While able to grapple a lot of functions — on-board telematics, including Global Positioning System navigation, Internet accession and the new BMW Assist scheme (for exigencies), as well as climate and stereo functions — iDrive has a steep learning curve. Basic adjustments can be made rather easily.
