I am unaware of how dope this thing will be. The intrigue for this product is that BMW has put its stamp on it as they collaborate with Thermaltake on a 2 foot tall computer case. It is a lights, camera, action type emotion as it stores a ton of goodies on the inside . The Level 10 case as its known weighs 40+ pounds and will be priced at about $700 dollars.

The BMW 7 Series is currently the best-selling car in the premium automotive segment in the Middle East, buoyed by the launch of the fifth-generation of the flagship model late last year, the BMW Group recorded sales of 2,949 units of the BMW 7 Series across the Middle East from January-August 2009.
The 7 Series is also the highest-selling model in the BMW portfolio, achieving impressive results across the region’s biggest markets. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was the largest market with the sale of 864 units. The UAE was another strong market for the flagship model, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi witnessing sales of 435 and 365 cars respectively.
The new BMW 7 Series was initially available in the Middle East in two engine variants – the in-line six cylinder 740Li and V8 750Li models with new twin-turbo technology and direct fuel injection. They have since been joined by the 730Li and V12-powered 760Li which produces an enviable 544bhp and accelerates to 100km/h in just 4.6 seconds.
Designed around BMW’s robust EfficientDynamics strategy to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, the new BMW 7 Series offers more power and better fuel economy than the predecessor model and boasts the most fuel efficient engines in its class.
James Crichton, Sales & Marketing Director, BMW Group Middle East, said:
“The BMW 7 Series embodies all the qualities associated with premium vehicles such as power, performance and luxury, and is a class leader in emission reductions and automotive technologies. These enduring qualities have been continually refined over the past thirty years in which the BMW 7 Series has delivered stellar performance in the premium automotive segment. We are proud of its latest sales results, and we look forward to the continuing success of our flagship model for the rest of the year.”
The new BMW 7 Series features a host of assistance technologies that bring unmatched driver engagement, handling and safety features to the luxury performance segment. These include Head-Up Display, which projects driving information such as speed, navigation, direction and alerts onto the windscreen, so that the driver’s attention stays on the road; Night Vision, which uses thermal imaging technology to detect humans in the dark at distances of up to 100 meters; and Lane Departure Warning and Lane Change Warning which help the driver overtake safely by monitoring traffic conditions in adjacent lanes with radar sensors.

Killing Hubertas Grushnis 21 of october they decided to repeart there’s heroism and to memorial it.
After his beating me, at that fascists installation I hear as woman asked me ” May be you want to have a sex with him? No? We have little girl Dora, may be you want to beat her? ” And I hear well known gipsy’s singering and intonations.
When I only bought new inflatable bed with electric pompa I hear that somebody has taken an interest , want I or no to present that bed to prostitute Silvia- in any words to lost that bed in that flat? No? And my new bed has turned to a dust.
Interesting that such asking I hear when was in Vilnius and took a credit from Leon Chech under 24% for year. That Leon from firma” Inverta” with connections or as department of bank Snoras- system of Conversnank. Which robbed my own profits from Middle East projects with the help of Alex Gliklad- now Irakliy (which with his prostitute renting for me appartment- named new Osvencim for Jews), Josif Kobson, Efim Borodulin, Ella Tatarinova from Belarus ( which look like Larisa Bogdanova which all that years lived near me at appatrment 56) and Natalia Bondarenko-Lopatinskaya- now faced as president of Lithuania Dalia Grybauskaite.

In Netherland in the Hague- well known tribunal Gaagha- specially for nazy. Now here- well-known company Shell- from my own inheritance. And some new made queen Beatrix -which look like Soviet Union actress Irina Skobceva. What do that actress on the throne of the Netherland?

My own grandfather, my own grandmother and my own father forgott to inform them that diamonds not grow up on the tree’s too as banana in Africa. And the gold not flowered in the collective farmer’s. And coal and salt too.
From that time gas, oil and coal you must take with excess licking yours dicks and pussy’s. Looking the warm’s in your native back pass’s. Crappy stink rat’s.
Sistematically somebody from little girls began languidly (lackadaisical) whisper to my own ears during that fascists and sadists installation inside me:” Natasha, I want you”. Sometimes they mixe and whisper’s ” I want you, Irina”. Who was that Irina, which decided to make me radio-electronic terror? Why to not want Chernobyl? Or Nagassaki?

That fucking killers killed the old peoples at Egeos 53 , appropriated there’s house and now threaten my own live and health. They open the shop Dora- stoling the name of my own mother and her financies, business and inheritance.

Near me in Sverdlovsk lived Andrey and Igor- Gosha Titov’s. Gosha became a happy husband of Dariga Nazarbayeva and has a son Gosha, Andrey as Laima Kubielene changed his name and instead Andrey Titov became Romas Marcinkiavicus- Marcinkevicius shotly Marcinkys.

(Ready for some big, fat, broad generalizations based solely on my perhaps-limited perceptions? Great ) The culture & lifestyle of southern Harley-Davidson riders is truly something to behold. My first two bikes were bought in Georgia and built in Milwaukee, so I was exposed to this world early on. Now I’m on a beemer, and things look a little different from behind German handlebars. Of course it’s not my brand or bike’s country of heritage that changed, it’s instead the groups of riders and experiences I’ve been exposed to that have broadened my horizons.
Harley bikers in the south are a proud, loud & horrifically tacky bunch (my incredibly beautiful & stylish friends are exceptions, of course.) I am constantly amazed at the number & variety of apparel items – plus jewelry, tattoos, any accessory you can imagine – that carry the bar & shield. The licensing dollars must be astounding! Although I bet 50% or more are bootleg (TANGENT: and as a brand marketer, my feelings on this are mixed… do you demand only corporate-controlled, regulated use of your logo to protect it & ensure consistency, and follow a path of prosecution of those who use it without authorization; or turn a blind eye & allow your enthusiasts to mold & personalize their experience with your company? I believe Harley has chosen the latter, and I think for their audience it’s the right choice. Nike has come under fire for their unyielding adherence to the former philosophy, but they probably would have experienced brand degradation – not to mention millions in lost profits – had they gone the other route. :END TANGENT). This loyalty to the H-D brand – a corporation –is truly amazing, and of course I’m far from the first to notice, as multiple case studies have been written. As crazy as it might sound, Harley events are a place where my hobby & work brain collide!
Many of my friends are Harley riders, so I still frequent events dominated by American V-Twins. Sometimes I’m the only person at events I attend not riding a Harley. For that matter, I’m also often the only rider in a full-face helmet and protective clothing! But other than a few stares when I first ride in, I usually have no problems, and only have to endure some good-natured ribbing. In general, riders respect each others’ choices.
Once, at a rally in rural Georgia, my battery decided to die on me & not hold a charge. Pushing a German-engineered machine through a campground of hundreds of Harley bikers is not an activity I recommend for those without a sense of humor! But when I finally got to our campsite, the crew across the pathway were quick to offer assistance. A group of nice country boys from Tennessee spent their entire evening dissecting my foreign ride, marveling the whole time at the differences in construction from Harleys, but never hesitating. I was very impressed at their mechanical familiarity with bikes in general that gave them the confidence to take apart a bike some of them had never seen before (at the time I must say my confidence was not as strong as it is now in retrospect!) They hooked me to a small generator, and proceeded to charge my bike’s battery for several hours, finally getting me started (“don’t turn it off before you get home or to a shop!”) I have no doubt a bunch of gearheads at a BMW rally would have done the same to help out a fellow rider, but I’ll never forget the leap those guys took to get me out of a sticky situation, brand of ride be damned.
There are a lot of aspects of southern biker culture I despise –racism & rebel flags, sexism, tobacco use, violence, elitism – but I know that there are genuinely good people in this group as well. This post by no means completes my thoughts on Harley culture, but for all my undercover giggling at their wardrobe choices, under the leather fringe and sleeveless rally tees are a lot of hearts of gold.
Two nice discoveries today. A friend in London told me about The Auteurs. And while browsing the movies I discovered 24 hours Berlin by Volker Heise. Well, all this has been around for a while but nevertheless, better late than never! If you love movies The Auteurs is a precious website. And if you love Berlin, you will love this collection of 24 movies shot in Berlin one year ago, each one covering one specific hour of the day. With stunning photography and everyday stories.
The first part of 24 hours Berlin takes us in the capital and her inhabitants at 6am. Nori at the BMW motorbike factory in Spandau. An inmate in the Knast in Reinickendorf. Waking up in a flat in Schoeneberg. A Koepenick fisherman on the Mueggelsee. An old man waiting for heart surgery at Charite’. A round-the-clock bakery in Schlesisches Tor. An interview with von und zu Guttemberg in front of Brandenburger Gate about John McCain (John McCain…? who was that?). A vain and antipatique foreign correspondant headquartered in Gendarmenmarkt and totally waterproof to the country he’s reporting from.
The crisis was just starting: september 5th, 2008. I only watched episode 1 (from 6.00 am to 7 am) and so there’s more to come. I have 23 movies to look forward to now…
One year after I wonder what happened to the people portrayed in the movie. The world changed an awful lot in the space of one year. Sarah Palin and her red jackets were pestering our screens one year ago. FW Steinmaier was not sure to be a candidate to the Kanzleramt yet. Lehman Brothers was fame and glory. Barack Obama was preceded by an “If”. Von und zu Guttemberg was in the making. KaDeWe was strong as an ox. The S-bahn ran on time (but with a dark secret) and the U55 was still in the box. We were still discussing the project for our flat in Berlin.
This movie frames life in the city and its Zeitgeist. Berlin is the lucky town which deserved but also generated such an oeuvre, I hope it means something beautiful for its future.
Von Joschka Fischer können wir lernen, was es heißt, Farbe zu bekennen
Tigerenten mögen bunt und drollig sein, aber nichts hat Farbenpracht wie Joschka Fischer. Der Mann ist ein Chamäleon, das den politischen Regenbogen diagonal entlanggaloppiert. Je älter er wird, umso schneller galoppiert er. Je schneller er galoppiert, umso rasanter wechseln die Farben. Einst am blutroten Rand, warf er Steine gegen die Ordnungsmacht. 15 Jahre später changierte er als Grüner mit weißen Sportschuhen in die hessische Landesregierung. Alle paar Jahre verblasste ein Farbton, trat ein neuer hinzu: Realo, Bundestagsabgeordneter, Außenminister in dunklem Anzug. Inzwischen schimmert Fischer in Kontrastfarben. Steht als Nabucco-Berater im Sold der Erdöl- und für BMW im Sold der Automobilindustrie. Listig, Herr Fischer, listig: Wer seine Feinde nicht besiegen kann, der nehme ihre Farbe an.
“Falter” Nr. 39/09 vom 23.09.2009 Seite: 9 Ressort: Politik
Een auto kopen, waarde dokusha, is iets waar veel mensen reikhalzend naar uitkijken. Het zal u vast niet verbazen wanneer ik u vertel dat het bij mij net iets anders ligt. Toegegeven, ik vind de geur van een nieuwe wagen zalig maar het grote probleem voor mij is dat ik de wagens zoals ze tegenwoordig worden vorm gegeven helemaal niet mooi vind. Op gebied van autodesign ben ik eerder conservatief.
Dé mooiste wagen ooit gebouwd blijft voor mij de Citroën DS of de “puitemuil” zoals ze deze in mijn geboortedorp noemden. Ik weet nog hoe ik ze als peuter zag voorbijglijden op de kasseien van de straat waarin mijn oma woonde. Die elegantie en stijl werden nooit geëvenaard. En elegantie, waarde dokusha, werd toen al gewaardeerd en gekoesterd door ondergetekende.
Toen ik echter op mijn 15de met mijn toenmalige boezemvriend ergens op een Vlaamsche weide een afgedankte Mini Cooper in beweging zette, verbaasde ik me over de no-nonsense aanpak van het ontwerp. Alles had een duidelijke functie en voor de rest was er niks, de grote leegte, geen fransjes, nuffink. De Mini veroverde het andere deel van mijn hart, want ik had toen al een groot hart en er was dus plaats voor 2 wagens.
Sindsdien is er eigenlijk niet veel veranderd. Mijn hart is wat groter geworden en er past nu nog één man bij in. En, och ja, ik rijd met een Mini. De keuze was simpel, het was de enige auto op de markt waar ik met mijn hart kon voor kiezen en keuzes maak ik nu eenmaal met mijn hart. De Citroën DS werd jammer genoeg al lang uit productie gehaald al moet ik toegeven dat de typische kenmerken van de DS terugkomen in het ontwerp van de BMW Z4. Na een aantal keren hem bewonderd te hebben (de Z4 voor alle duidelijkheid) zei ik tegen Kashi: “Dit wordt mijn volgende wagen!”. Hij keek me met opgetrokken wenkbrauw aan en zei: “Ge zijt gij zeker zot? Da’s nen otto voor de vrouw van de coiffeur!”.Ik lachte even maar diep van binnen kromp mijn hart ineen. Hoe sterk kan een mens in stereotypen denken? How very dare he! Hij voegde er nog aan toe: “Als ge daarmee rijdt, dan rij’k nooit nog mee…. Schaamtelijk!”.
En toen arriveerde de nieuwe overbuurvrouw. Fris gescheiden en werkloos, faux blonde, Dolce & Gabbana , Fendi and then Donna…. Ze arriveerde in een zwarte BMW Z3, de voorloper en lichtend voorbeeld van mijn geliefde Z4. Kashi proestte het uit. Ik begreep dat ik me evenzeer aan hokjes denken bezondigde als hij en dat clichés bestaan. Het portier van de Z3 zwaaide open, de tonen van de nieuwste cd van Jo Vally galmden door de straat. De witte fuck-me-botjes kwamen als eerste tevoorschijn, gevolgd door een bont gekleurd spektakel van met merken overladen designerkleding. Het geheel werd bekroond door een bol geföhnde geperoxideerde haardos. Gisteren ontdekte ik een stickertje op de kofferbak van haar auto, het blokletterde: Black Beauty. Oh sweet irony… Bij deze is er een nieuwe vacature van droomwagen in mijn hart. Gelieve deze binnen de 4 jaar in te vullen. Hartelijk dank.

BMW
Cindy Donaldson, Marketing Director - Founders Insurance Group
For those of you that know me well – I’m a moderate, leaning towards liberal, not really the NRA card carrying far right kinda girl. Although I grew up in a farming family – I’m pretty far from the proverbial “red neck”. Ok…so I’ve plucked a chicken, slopped some hogs and helped a cow give birth – but that was way before my insurance life.
That all being said – I am attending an NRA sponsored event at a local Rod & Gun club. I’m going to shoot a hand gun maybe a shot gun (not really sure on the precise itinerary), perhaps sling a few arrows and learn some self defense. I already took off the nail polish, will forgo the pedicure this weekend and will put on my flannel shirt – I am ready to go!
Before all my old college buddies split their pants due to uncontrollable laughter and are asking Why? Why? Why? I’ll tell you. It was an opportunity and I said what the hell – I might as well learn some new tricks – you never know when I might decide to go live on the land and have to kill a deer or two to survive.
Besides – I, Cindy Donaldson, am a risk taker. I find it really hard to pass up a challenge. This NRA gig is just one of many that have popped up in my lifetime.
Let me pull this back into the insurance world. This morning I was chatting with Doug and Joe our new sales guys. I suggested that the sales team – and me of course – get a fleet of BMW’s and Armani suits. We travel as a team – I think we would look impressive. Of course, my boss got wind of my ranting and came into my office with the classic “Did you tell these kids they are getting BMWs?” I said “Well as a matter of fact I did!” I then shut up. My boss smiled and said “ I like it – show me the money” This of course was a challenge – Game On. He was thinking – they are going to have to sell a hell of a lot of insurance for me and my partners to even consider the fleet of sports cars and designer suits. I’m thinking: Oh, yeah – I’ll take a black convertible, loaded and a custom fitted suit (even though I’m really not a suit girl, but we all have to make sacrifices). He knows I love a challenge and I will push the team to get to our goals. I see it as a win-win. Side note: Joe, a BMW fan and current BMW owner, is in charge of picking out the new fleet of cars. I think I made his day.
Now – we will have to sell a hell of a lot of insurance to get there, but isn’t that what sales is all about? The challenge, the thrill of the win? Any way you put it, this is one hell of a fun goal to try and reach!
Moral of the story: Take some chances, and go out on a limb. Take an NRA class, tell your boss he needs to buy you a BMW, jump out of an airplane – live it up! You might just be surprised at the results! Remember what Napoleon Hill said:
“ A goal is a dream with a deadline.” So don’t just dream, plan and do.
Cheers and Happy Risk Taking!
The Ad Age article titled, Buick Pokes Fun at Lexus in New Billboard Ads, announced that Buick recently launched a series of outdoor ads featuring the LaCrosse that challenge Lexus. The billboard headlines include, “EX your Lexus” and ”Something else for Lexus to relentlessly pursue.”
I found three things noteworthy of sharing while reading the article:
1. Since when have Buick and Lexus been competitors in the same category? Lexus is a luxury brand. Personally, I don’t associate Buick with luxury. In fact, I’ve never seen anyone, besides Buick themselves, categorize the brand as luxury.
2. Google served up an online ad selling Lexus cars, directly beneath a version of the article that discussed Buick calling out Lexus. While this placement is not nearly as bad as the time a Volvo ad about safety was placed next to an article about a car crash, I’d still consider it a failure.
3. Singling out the competition (direct or indirect) can be a slippery slope as seen by two of my favorite dueling brands: Audi verses BMW. In early 2009, when Audi launched an outdoor campaign showcasing the luxurious A4, they got a little too egotistical in thinking it was clever to put up a billboard proclaiming, “Your move, BMW.” BMW’s tactical and ingenious response included strategically placed boards adjacent to the Audi ads with the beautifully simple headline of, “Checkmate.” Point for BMW. Humiliation for Audi. I am excited and curious to see if and/or how Lexus will respond to Buick’s call out. Although I am assuming it’s fake, hopefully it’s better than the response below. Stay tuned.
Il Nurburgring nel corso di tutta la sua storia ne ha viste di tutti i colori; incidenti, mondiali vinti e persi, sorpassi e piloti eroici.
Anche il mondiale Superbike 2009 non è stato immune da questo e proprio sul circuito del Nordschleife sembra aver preso una piega difficilmente raddrizzabile dagli avversari.
Con due manches corse da fenomeno, Ben Spies ha conquistato la cima della classifica del mondiale, dopo una rincorsa partita dal primo GP; in 22 manches Ben è salito 12 volte sul gradino più alto, ma sulla sua classifica pesano sei “zeri”, ben quattro dovuti ad inconvenienti tecnici alla sua R1.
Se la Yamaha non avesse avuto problemi, il campionato sarebbe già chiuso a doppia mandata.
Nori Haga, lo sfidante, ha invece subìto un’involuzione durante la seconda parte del campionato; su di lui pesa il brutto incidente di Donington, che lo ha fatto correre a Brno a mezzo servizio, ma ad armi pari Nori è apparso poche volte in grado di mettere al tappeto Spies, il quale aveva l’handicap di dover imparare praticamente tutti i circuiti del mondiale.
Ma la cosa sembra non averlo disturbato affatto.
Gara-1 parte con un bruttissimo incidente alla seconda curva.
John Hopkins cade in mezzo al gruppo e per sua sfortuna viene investito in pieno dalla Kawasaki di Luca Scassa; le immagini sono terribili e per John si teme il peggio.
Per fortuna invece non vi è nessuna complicazione e vedremo Hopkins passeggiare in pit lane tranquillamente prima di gara-2.
Nella seconda ripartenza Haga cerca subito la fuga; Spies rimane nel gruppo degli inseguitori per svariati giri e all’inizio non pare in grado di poter ambire al bersaglio grosso. Niente di più sbagliato.
Da metà gara in poi si scatena e passa uno ad uno tutti i piloti, ingaggiando belle battaglie, soprattutto con Rea, fino a piombare addosso a NitroNori.
Nel frattempo dietro la coppia mondiale risale con un ottimo ritmo Carlos Checa in sella alla Honda, seguito dal giovane compagno di squadra Jonathan Rea e dall’Aprilia di Max Biaggi.
Negli ultimi giri Nori e Ben danno vita ad un bellissimo spettacolo fatto di sorpassi, controsorpassi e tentativi andati più o meno a vuoto, fino a che prima dell’ultimo giro Spies rompe gli indugi, passa Haga non dandogli più nessuna possibilità di risposta.
Vince quindi Spies davanti ad Haga, sul podio anche Checa, poi Rea, Biaggi, Haslam, Fabrizio e Corser.
Highlights Gara-1
In Gara-2 Haga ha una sola tattica possibile; attaccare.
Il mondiale sembra scivolargli via piano piano dalle mani e deve cercare di arginare la superiorità del fenomeno Texano in qualsiasi modo.
La tattica che ha in mente trova però ostacolo in Jonathan Rea, che nei primi giri fa letteralmente a spallate col Giapponese della Ducati.
Il gruppo è ancora compatto, Spies viaggia in sesta-settima posizione tranquillamente, in attesa di dar fuoco alle polveri.
Davanti invece fanno fuoco davvero e dopo numerosi sorpassi e risposte in staccata, alla prima curva Haga e Rea arrivano appaiati; Nori imposta la sua traiettoria ma Rea è leggermente lungo e non può evitare il contatto.
Haga cade in mezzo alla pista e non riesce a ripartire; al sesto giro deve dire addio alla possibilità di vittoria e probabilmente anche al mondiale.
A quel punto Spies molla i freni e inizia la sua rimonta; passa Fabrizio, poi Corser, poi Checa, infine piomba addosso a Leon Haslam, un osso notoriamente molto duro da passare.
Leon oppone resistenza ferrea e quindi Ben è obbligato a ricorrere alle maniere forti; alla staccata dopo il rettilineo opposto ai box allarga i gomiti e si fa spazio, Haslam è costretto ad allargare e ad andare lungo mentre Ben sfila e si mette alla caccia alla Honda di Rea al comando della gara.
Jonathan però non molla, non vuole finire nelle fauci di Spies come gli altri piloti e resiste fino alla fine; Ben probabilmente, vista l’uscita di Haga, ha deciso di non rischiare il tutto per tutto, non lesinando però il gas; infatti nell’ultimo giro del GP Rea segna il giro più veloce in gara, dimostrando che i due non stavano per nulla scherzando.
Rea vince così la sua seconda gara in SBK, Spies termina secondo, poi Checa; seguono Biaggi, Haslam, Corser, Kyonari e Sykes. Solo nono Fabrizio.
Highlights Gara-2
Con un bottino di 45 punti Ben Spies assapora così per la prima volta la vetta del mondiale, scavalcando Haga di soli 18 punti, un distacco recuperabilissimo se in fuga non ci fosse il talento più puro della Superbike.
Il problema per Haga non sono i 18 punti, ma la superiorità messa in mostra da Ben, capace di ogni cosa in qualsiasi situazione; può scappare e fare il vuoto, può mettere in scena rimonte fantastiche, come risolvere a suo favore le gare all’ultimo giro.
Niente pare fermarlo.
Proprio per questo motivo la Yamaha se lo è assicurato per i prossimi due anni, dando la possibilità a Spies di fare il salto in motogp nel momento in cui lui riuscisse a portare a casa il titolo SBK.
Ben però non ha fretta e i rivali nel mondiale SBK tremano; se anche nel 2010 dovessimo avere Ben nel campionato delle derivate di serie allora potremmo assistere probabilmente ad un lungo assolo del Texano.
Due piazzamenti buoni (5° e 4°) per Biaggi che ha messo in mostra un passo gara al pari dei primi; peccato per le partenze che non essendo state brillantissime lo hanno tagliato fuori dalla lotta per il podio.
Ha ufficialmente detto addio al mondiale Michel Fabrizio che con due prove opache ha ridimensionato i suoi obiettivi; ora il suo compito sarà quello di aiutare il caposquadra Haga nella lotta con Spies.
Ottime prove invece delle Honda, rinate su questo tracciato; Rea (4° e 1°), Checa (due terzi posti) e Haslam (6° e 5°) hanno dimostrato la bontà della CBR-RR lasciando intendere che per i prossimi appuntamenti ci saranno anche loro lassù a giocarsela.
Buona prestazione infine della BMW con Corser (Xaus è infortunato) che con un ottavo e sesto posto ha sensibilmente migliorato il trend delle ultime gare; se lo sviluppo intrapreso è nella giusta direzione (e pare sia così) nel 2010 potremmo vedere la moto Tedesca lottare con i più forti.
Prossimo appuntamento a Imola il 27 settembre.
So I finally decided to go ahead and add some more horsepower to my M3 with a performance chip. I had heard really good things related to horse power gains for some time. When I had heard that they also help improve gas mileage, I had to get one. Mine just arrived in the mail yesterday, I’m going to put it in as soon as I’m done with this entry. Here’s what it looks like:
M3 Performance Chip
I’m pretty excited to see the type of power that I get with this bmw performance chip. Tomorrow I’ll take a look at some other parts that I’m thinking about getting.
Hello!
Here’s the official September 2009 edition of Things That Piss Me The Hell Off That I Can’t Do Anything About So Might As Well Ignore Them But Can’t.
Irrational rant and much sarcasm ahead.
In no particular order:
That’s nearly 2,000 words there. I think that’s probably enough for now! If you have any pet peeves of your own you’d like to share, please do make them known in the comments.
If all that depressed you, let Maru cheer you up:
Yeni Z4′ü tasarım açısından incelediğinizde, yılın her mevsiminde özgürlüğünüzü yaşayacağınız açılır kapanır tavan göze çarpan ilk özelliği olacaktır. Dış tasarımdan incelemeye devam edecek olursanız çizgilerin daha kesin ve daha güçlü olduğunu farkedeceksinizdir. Far kısmına bakıldığında aracın korkutucu bakışları sizi ürkütecektir. Ama emin olabilirsiniz ki bu korku size zevk verecektir. Sonrasında kendinizi aracın içine attığınızda karşılaştığınız mükemmel tasarım sizleri zerafetin ve inceliğin doruklarına çıkartacağına emin olabilirsiniz. İnce ayrıntılarla süslenmiş ön konseptte şöfor koltuğunda herşeye hakim olmanızı sağlıyor.
Tüm bu güzellikleri nasıl bir motor destekliyordur sizce?
Bin grad auf BMW’s neuestes Projekt gestoßen: das Konzeptauto “Vision Efficient Dynamics”, welches Sparsamkeit und “Freude am Fahren” in einem Paket unterbringen will.
Technischen Daten
Maße: 4,60 Meter lang, 1,90 Meter breit und 1,24 Meter hoch. Gewicht: 1.395 Kilogramm. Antrieb: Vollhybrid-Technik. Beschleunigung auf Tempo 100: 4,8 Sekunden. Maximalgeschwindigkeit: 250 km/h. Durchschnittsverbrauch: 3,76 Liter Diesel auf 100 Kilometer
Schade nur, dass die Designstudien nie so auf die Straße kommen, sondern erst auf die Masse angepasst werden.
My car turns 5 years old this month….where does the time go! I managed to put 72,000 miles on it which turns out to be just under the national average of 15K a year. This has been a great car and it took me a really long time to initially find it. I ended up locating it in North Carolina. I flew there, bought it, and drove it home!
What makes this BMW 330i so unique, is the “infamous” performance package aka “ZHP.”
The performance package was a limited option given to E46 models from 2003 to 2005.It included various aesthetic changes as well as performance enhancements. It received the “M-Tech II” bodykit, 18″ style 135 wheels with 255/35/18 performance tires, and black high gloss window trim. The interior included sports seats, an alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, and a carbon fiber styled “cubed” interior trim. The instrument gauge cluster was also modified with red needles and silver gauge ring accents.
Performance wise, the ZHP obtained BMW’s performance range camshafts and DME tuning to increase Horsepower/Torque and the engine redline from 6,500RPM to 6,800RPM.Suspension was modified over the standard sports package with firmer springs and shock absorbers, larger anti-roll bars, steel front control arm bushings, and a lower ride height. The car also received a shorter gear ratio and a 6 speed manual transmission which allows for faster acceleration.
The result is a perfect balance of handling, acceleration, steering feel, and engine/exhaust sound. The car is such a pleasure to drive, and it is undisputed that no 3-series model has come out since, that has a better overall road feel.
Happy 5th Birthday!
So did you hear the one about the BMW heiress who made a sex video? Germany’s wealthiest woman, who is worth $13.2 billion, was lured into an affair by a Swiss hunk. Thus began, if you’ll pardon the phrase, the dirtiest game of blackmail Whac-A-Mole ever played.
Susanne Klatten, who owns 12% of the luxury car maker plus half of a pharmaceutical giant, is a fabulously wealthy, probably fabulously bored wife and mother of three. She and Helg Sgarbi, her Swiss cad, spiced up their little affair by shooting a sex video in room 630 of the Holiday Inn in Munich, Germany.
What she didn’t know, says The Daily Beast, was that Sgarbi made a rich life out of seducing bored, rich women. He amassing “gifts” of €10 million from four of them.
When 47-year-old Klatten balked at his attempts to extract any more than €7 million from her, Sgarbi demanded €49 million (about $70 million) to keep their video sex romp a secret. Klatten immediately fessed up to her cuckolded husband and sent the police after her erstwhile blackmailing lover.
Swiss Boy went to prison. She thought it was the end of it. But soon enough, Klatten was being blackmailed again by a German truck driver, this time for €75,000. He said Sgarbi had given him the 38-minute lovefest in jail. Once again, Klatten wouldn’t play, and she got another blackmailer into cuffs.
Done, right?
Wrong. In July, three more people were arrested for sending Klatten a letter demanding €800,000 and a BMW off-road vehicle in exchange for their silence. The bait, once again, was a letter claiming they held a copy of that pesky DVD.
There’s more than enough stupidity to go around in this case. First to Klatten for doing the deed to begin with, of course. But more idiocy belongs to the succession of would-be blackmailers, who not only saw their predecessors fail to obtain their cash but also saw them clapped into prison for trying.Klatten is apparently trying to combat this pesky porno problem in a way that makes sense to a powerful industrialist: by wielding her influence and hiring the best lawyers that money can buy.
May I suggest fighting it with honesty instead?
Ultimately, there comes a point when you have to face up to the responsibility of your actions. Whether it was under false pretenses or not, she slept with the guy. He made a video. Everyone in Germany knows about it now, so there’s not much face left to save. The minute that video is released, it loses its power.
If she lived in America and I were giving her media coaching, I’d tell her to let it loose. Then call Barbara Walters for an on-camera mea culpa. Apologize, shrug it off, tearfully explain what was learned. She may lose her dignity, but she’ll regain her freedom.
Just ask former sex tape stars Rob Lowe, Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, and Screech from Saved By the Bell. It only stings for a little while (except for the viewers of the Screech one — that hurts forever). It’s unfortunate for the participants, perhaps, but sex videos are so common now as to nearly outnumber Blockbuster outlets. Does anyone even remember that Colin Farrell and Fred Durst have appeared in their own celebrity sex tapes?
In a few months, if Klatten can face her high-society friends, no one will care anymore, but her bank account will be intact.
As for the rest of us — those without BMW fortunes behind us — there’s a simpler solution. Don’t make sex tapes. Don’t take nude photos, either, especially in an age when you can copy one by the thousands in a microsecond.
And if you do, for heaven’s sake, people, don’t show your faces.XX
Das war ein richtig geiles Wochenende. Erki & sein Dad @ Oschersleben. Im Folgenden werde Ich den Kurztripp im Tagebuchformat schildern.
Freitag:
Um 00:30 Uhr ins Bett gegangen, aber irgendwie konnte Ich nicht richtig schlafen, denn es war wohl einfach zu früh für meinen aktuellen Rhythmus. Um 05:00 Uhr dann aufgestanden, noch „ein bisschen“ YouTube geglotzt und mich dann gegen 07:30 Uhr fertig gemacht, denn wir wollten so gegen 10:00 Uhr los. Mein Dad war nebenbei auf dem Weg nach Neu Wulmstorf, um sein Auto dort aus der Werkstatt mit TÜV abzuholen. Allerdings konnte er es dann erst gegen 12:30 Uhr nach Hause fahren und Ich habe die Gelegenheit zu einem kleinen Vormittagsschläfchen genutzt.
Dann endlich ging es los, ab in den Osten! Direkt nach der Autobahnausfahrt Eilsleben (65) dann in Ovelgünne (kennt man doch irgendwo her) eine Pension gefunden, die uns dann aber nach Eilsleben verwies, wo wir ein super Zwei-Bett-Zimmer mit Bad, Fernseher und Frühstück für wenig Geld bekommen haben.
Da es noch nicht allzu spät war, sind wir noch zur Rennstrecke gefahren, um uns alles genauer unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Der Weg dahin war von Baustellen übersät und wir sind einen ziemlichen Umweg gefahren, aber nach einer knappen halben Stunde waren wir dann da. Ab auf den BMW-Parkplatz (Danke Herr Lehbrink) und ein bisschen umgeschaut. Im Fahrerlager einige Fahrer (Jörg Müller und Andy Priaulx) gesehen und die perfekte Tribüne (einmal hatte Ich Angst, fast einzubrechen, das zur Qualität der Tribünen) für uns gefunden (Tribüne West). Auf dem Rückweg zum Parkplatz ist dann der „Gustl“ Farfus auf dem Quad an uns vorbeigedüst.
Zum Abendessen wollten wir dann noch zu McDonalds und dazu mussten wir dann gute 20km in eine andere Ortschaft fahren. Nach dem Essen haben wir dann bestimmt zwei Stunden gebraucht, um den Ort Eilsleben wiederzufinden. Einheimische konnten uns zwar gut weiterhelfen, aber dort ist fast nie mehr als ein weiterer Ort ausgeschildert. Wenn Ihr also nachts im Osten unterwegs seid, nehmt Euch eine Karte oder ein Navi mit!
Abends haben wir uns eigentlich nur noch ins Bett geschmissen. Im Halbschlaf habe Ich dann noch mitbekommen, dass mein guter Freund Danny mitten in der Nacht angerufen hatte, weil er, wie mein Dad am nächsten Morgen meinte, wohl einen Fahrer für nach Hause gesucht hat.
Samstag:
Früh morgens aufgestanden, fertig gemacht und gefrühstückt. 1A Frühstück gab es in der Pension (Ei, Brötchen, dazu Aufschnitt und Käse, so wie Butter, Marmelade und Getränke auf Wunsch). Ab zur Rennstrecke, diesmal einen schnelleren Weg, der nur etwa eine Viertelstunde gedauert hat. Am Samstag gab es jede Menge Trainings, Qualifyings, Warm ups und ein paar erste Rennen. Das Rahmenprogramm der WTCC war riesig! Es gab insgesamt gut zehn Stunden Action, natürlich mit kleinen Pausen zwischendurch. Mein Résumé über das Programm am Samstag:
Trofeo Abarth 500 Europa: Sehr geiler doppelter Überschlag in der Hotelkurve. Auto ist wieder auf den Rädern gelandet und Fahrer natürlich wohlauf.
FIA WTCC: Schlechtes Qualifying für BMW (missglückte Reifenwahl, aufgrund des wechselhaften Wetters), nur zwei Autos in den hinteren Top10. Ein Lada auf Startplatz 4! Es gab eine richtig geile Szene, wo Larini abgeschleppt werden sollte, das Ganze hat ziemlich lang gedauert und es gab diverse Komplikationen, denn sein Auto wurde sogar von einem der Abschleppautos angefahren. Einfach nur herrlich, aber man muss dabei gewesen sein.
FIA Formel 2: Sehr eindeutige Rennausgänge. Etwas ermüdend (bin kein Fan von Formel-Rennserien).
ADAC PROCAR: Ereignislos. Achtung: Frau am Steuer.
Formula Master: Noch langweiliger, als die Formel 2, da nur elf oder zwölf Rennfahrer.
MINI Challenge: Gastfahrer Tim Mälzer „fährt“ mit und wird mit einigen Runden Abstand Letzter von den Autos, die nicht ausgeschieden sind.
SEAT Leon Eurocup: Dort ging es richtig zur Sache! Mega spannendes Rennen!
Nach den SEAT’s sind wir dann nochmal zu BMW gegangen, denn Ich hatte eine kleine Überraschung für meinen Dad. In einer E-Mail an Herrn Lehbrink hatte Ich erwähnt, dass mein Dad in anderthalb Wochen nach diesem Rennwochenende 60 wird und er hatte mir angeboten, dass mein Dad von einem WTCC-Fahrer um den Kurs gefahren wird, eine Art Renntaxi. Es hat etwas gedauert, den guten Mann zu „finden“, da er ziemlich beschäftigt war, aber er hat sein Wort gehalten (Ich habe mich natürlich bei dem guten Mann persönlich bedankt!) und mein Dad wurde dann wenige Minuten später von Sergio Hernández in einem Produktionswagen von BMW über den Kurs geschickt (Vielen Dank Herr Lehbrink). Nasser Boden machte das natürlich noch interessanter. Insgesamt waren alle Mitarbeiter von BMW und der Organisation sehr sehr nett und alles war sehr zugänglich für Zuschauer. So sind auch die Fahrer einfach da durch die Gegend gewandert, man durfte Fotos machen, sich Autogramme holen und auch mal einen kleinen Schnack anfangen.
Abends bei einer Pizza vom Thaiwaner die erste Halbzeit vom Freundschaftsspiel gegen Südafrika geschaut.
Sonntag:
Als wir ankamen, war es schon ziemlich voll, aber wir haben es irgendwie geschafft, die selben Plätze, wie am Vortag, zu bekommen. Endlich der große Tag mit den beiden Rennen der WTCC. Hier das Fazit vom Sonntag:
Trofeo Abarth 500 Europa: Verpasst…
MINI Challenge: Spannender als am Vortag und Tim Mälzer bleibt nach der Hälfte des Rennens einfach in der Box.
Formula Master: Laaangweilig.
ADAC PROCAR: Nur das Warum up gesehen…
FIA Formel 2: ÜBERSCHLAG DIREKT VOR UNSERER TRIBÜNE. DAS WAR FUCKING HEFTIG. Fahrer ist zum Glück aber sofort mit dem Daumen nach oben ausgestiegen und ist sozusagen nur mit dem Schock davon gekommen. An der Stelle hätte so viel mehr passieren können, das war echt Glück im Unglück! Dann musste ein neues Schild mit der Aufschrift „WTCC“ herangeschafft werden und das wurde von vier Leuten auf dem Dach eines BMW’s transportiert. Die Leute haben das Schild jeweils mit einer Hand festgehalten, es sah einfach nur geil aus. Es gab natürlich noch Applaus fürs Aufbauen. Tribünenatmosphäre ftw!
SEAT Leon Eurocup: Wieder ein spannendes Rennen.
FIA WTCC:
Nach der ersten Kurve gleich erstmal Jörg Müller, Yvan Muller und nahezu alle Chevrolets abgeflogen. Verdammt scheiße gelaufen für den Jörg, gleich raus im Heimrennen. Am Ende gewinnt Priaulx vor Tarquini und Farfus kann bis auf den fünften Platz heranfahren. Später gab es auch noch Untersuchungen, weil SEAT Protest eingelegt hat, dass Farfus den Muller am Anfang herausgekegelt haben soll, aber vorerst wurden alle Rennergebnisse, so wie sie ausgefahren wurden, angenommen.
Das zweite Rennen verlief deutlich harmloser. BMW holte einen grandiosen Doppelsieg mit Farfus und Priaulx, Tarquini wurde Dritter. Gleich dahinter war Jörg Müller, der vom fünft- oder sechstletzten Platz auf Vier gefahren ist. Dahinter Hernández und Muller hat es sogar noch auf einen siebten Platz geschafft. Im Moment führt damit Gabriele Tarquini die Tabelle noch mit EINEM Punkt vor „Gustl“ Farfus an. Danach kommen Yvan Muller, Andy Priaulx (ab hier eigentlich nur noch rein theoretische Chancen, obwohl Priaulx an diesem Wochenende sensationelle 18 Punkte herausgefahren hat), Rickard Rydell, Jörg Müller und Robert Huff. Müller könnte wohl maximal noch den vierten Platz erreichen, hoffen wir das Beste für ihn. In der Teamwertung ist BMW auch nur noch EINEN Punkt hinter SEAT, das heißt, dass es noch einmal verdammt spannend auf den letzten drei Strecken (Imola, Okayama und Macau) wird.
Alles in allem war es ein verdammt geiles Wochenende. Leider war die DigiCam meines Dads (meine ist seit geraumer Zeit im Arsch) nicht gerade allzu gut, weshalb alle Bilder & Videos (,die nicht einmal Ton hatten), die Ich mit Zoom geschossen habe, ein totaler Reinfall und ohne Zoom habe Ich nicht allzuviel Bilder direkt von der Strecke machen können. Das ist allerdings nicht sehr schlimm gewesen, es zählt ja, was Ich erlebt habe. Ich bin drauf und dran, ein Stammgast beim deutschen Rennen der WTCC zu werden, einfach saugeil!

After some brief speculation and a lot of prayers to the car gods, BMW India it seems has decided to answer our prayers and in October the company plans on introducing one of the most desired cars from their stable-the Z4 roadster.
The Z4 is literally BMW’s take on what a roadster ought to be. It’s got the aura of classic roadsters complimented by the latest technology and gadgets. A lot has gone into the design of the car and even here you will find the ‘classic meeting the future’ look, for in true classic fashion the roadster boasts of a long stretched hood and short overhangs, of course the future aspect comes in from the sculpted flamed body panels and the pronounced wheel arches at the rear.
The interiors boast of low seats, which have incidentally been placed closer to the rear axle in order to provide great road feedback to the driver as well as stick with the roadster design theme. Loads of leather and that typical BMW quality of fit and finish can be found in abundance on the inside. Elegance meets sport is the underlying theme here and the Z4 is touted to fit that shoe with ease.
One of the most interesting features of the Z4 roadster is its retractable hardtop. The new Z4 happens to be the first BMW roadster to ever come with a hardtop. The hardtop is made up of two aluminum shells that are capable of closing in around 20 seconds. Whether you cruise around with the roof down or with it covered the Z4 has a striking look that cannot be matched by many. It’s a modern day classic.
In terms of engine choices, BMW India has not disclosed too many details, however looking at what is available under the hood internationally does shed some light on things to come. One thing is certain about the engine option and that is the fact that no matter which Z4 you choose, you will receive a straight six under the hood. Internationally the Z4 is available with three engine choices, namely, the Z4sDrive 23i which churns out 204 hp, the sDrive 30i which makes 258 hp and the sDrive35i which churns out a whopping 306 hp.
In terms transmission options, BMW offers a 6 speed manual box on the Z4, however considering the fact that none of the BMW’s in India have ever come in with a manual, the chances of seeing this great 6 speed box is most likely out of the question. On the other hand the seven speed sport automatic double clutch transmission which is only available on the Z4 sDrive35i does sound like a lot of fun and fits in with BMW India’s plans of only introducing automatics for the country.
India has not been a traditional market for roadsters; however the likes of the Mercedes SLK and Porsche Boxter and Cayman are set to get some rather stiff Bavarian competition in the days to come.
