The BMW X1, the first and still really the only premium vehicle in their segment, will continue to extend its pioneering position in the field of fuel efficiency. Inside the autumn of 2011, the model diversity across the variety of the compact all-rounder will b e complemented through the BMW X1 sDrive20d EfficientDynamics Edition. This model, that was systematically created to provide driving pleasure simultaneously along with reduced fuel consumption and emission levels, is powered with a 120 kW/163 hp four-cylinder diesel engine featuring BMW TwinPower Turbo technology.

With the average fuel usage of 4.5 litres/100 km and also a CO2 emission volume of 119 grams per kilometre it achieves best marks for efficiency inside a BMW X model. Furthermore, through the autumn of 2011, a newly developed four-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology is going to be readily available for the BMW X1. The 135 kW/184 hp power unit also sets new standards within the decrease in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions within its performance class, with values which range from 7.1 litres and 165 grams with the BMW X1 sDrive20i and 7.7 litres (automatic: 7.6 litres) and 179 grams (177 grams) for that BMW X1 xDrive20i.

The consistent deployment of highly efficient engines and BMW EfficientDynamics technology fitted as standard helps BMW X models also achieve brand-typical driving pleasure joined with exemplary gas mileage and low emission levels. The BMW X1′s outstanding efficiency is a fundamental section of its premium character, that’s unique within the competitive environment as well as underscored by high-class workmanship, elaborated functionality, a flexible interior and numerous equipment features. The BMW X1 sDrive20d EfficientDynamics Edition enhances the relation between sporty and athletic agility and gas mileage to an alternative level. Its 2-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, whose BMW TwinPower Turbo technology comprises a supercharging system with variable turbine geometry and Common Rail injection, generates a maximum output of 120 kW/163 hp between 3 250 und 4 200 rpm. Maximum torque of 380 Nm can be obtained between 1 750 and a pair of 500 rpm.

Using the BMW 1-Series M Coupe (Type E82), the Kelleners Sport KS1-S high-revving inline six-cylinder engine with twin-turbochargers raises the production of the KS Power SW 35M using a good 20 percent. Rather than standard 340 hp (250 kW), the Kelleners Sport KS1-S produces max. 410 hp (301 kW) while max torque jumps from 450 to 550 Nm.

It makes sense a decline in weight to power ratio from 4.4 to three.8 kg per hp. And emphasising all of this power are special Kelleners Sport rear silencers. With four 83 mm tail pipes, the stainless-steel technique is optimised for unrestricted flow and distinguishes your vehicle in the series model with a considerably more exciting exhaust sound.

The aerodynamic elements of Kelleners Sport are built to minimise resistance to the wind and be sure maximum down-force at high speeds. The MS front spoiler lip and the three-part MS grill insert made of electro polished steel underscore the aerodynamic qualities in the car and make a supplementary visual impact. Naturally, this won’t customize the BMW air curtains, which help the aerodynamics by channelling the oxygen stream across the front wheels. Visually, the raised agility is accentuated by decorative strips about the bonnet, roof and side sills.

The Kelleners Sport light-alloy wheels also bring about the sporting characteristics and image. The extremely light, one-piece wheels decrease the unsprung weight thereby ensure dynamic handling. At the front end, the 9×20-inch wheels are fitted with 245/30 high-performance tyres whilst the rear axle incorporates 10×20-inch wheels and 265/30 tyres. With their 15 elegant spokes, the “Hamburg” wheels come in these finishes: polished graphite-silver, polished platinum-silver and matt black. The ‘Berlin’ wheel with slender double spokes comes in platinum silver polished, matt black polished and matt black.

The new 2012 BMW M3 CRT (Carbon Racing Technology) forms a unique combination of state-of-the-art development which directly inspired by motor sport – inside the elements of drive system, chassis technology, and intelligent lightweight design. Additionally, it marks the world debut with the new production process for carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) components from the automotive industry. The procedure allows CFRP for being trusted in the construction in the high-performance BMW M3 Saloon-based sports car.

BMW M3 CRT 2012, produced by the BMW M GmbH factory. It will help in achieving a weight-to-power ratio of 3.5 kilograms per horsepower. A custom hi-rev characteristics V8 engine and maximum creation of 331 kW/450 hp powered the BMW M3 CRT from 0 to 100 km/h in mere 4.4 seconds. The new 2012 BMW M3 CRT are going to be produced for under 67 units.
