“The driving position is the main factor for the overall aerodynamic efficiency of the rider-bike package – said Rainer Baumel, Technical Director, Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport – The locations of the head and upper body, elbows, knees and feet, can have enormous influence on the resistance, and thus on lap times. Of course, there is a location that is ideal for all drivers, because everything depends on any factors and several singles, starting with the same height and stature. The intensive work in the wind tunnel with Troy and Leon led the pilots themselves to discover their best position. At the same time, we are trying to improve the aerodynamic efficiency of the bike as much as possible within the strict technical standards. – continues Baumel – This is why we evaluated various shapes and positions of the fairing.

BMW and MotorSport Vision Join to Offer Driving Experiences (UK)

BMW M3 in MotorSport Vision Driving Experiences

Race track owners and operators MotorSport Vision (MSV) are teaming up with BMW UK to offer a unique M experience in some of their tracks. A fleet of M3 Coupes will be made available to those interested in driving these V8s around the famous Brands Hatch in Kent and Oulton Park in Cheshire as part of a package. Experienced instructors will be at hand to show drivers how to get the best out of the M3s. A flying lap in a Formula Brands single-seater race car forms part of the deal. The Bedford-based

Autodrome will be introducing M3-only experiences, which means more track time for the drivers.
In a sort of long-term brand-building exercise BMW will also be putting kids over 13 years of age who are at least 4'10'' tall inside 1 Series cars at one of the aforementioned tracks. The aim is to teach these youngsters good driving habits while they are still wet behind the ear. On the syllabus are the basics of car operation and control, as well as hazard perception and avoidance.

The BMW Z4 GT3, which was officially launched and completed its first test drives at the start of March, is already enjoying great popularity among BMW Motorsport customers. The first cars have been delivered to private BMW teams, who will prepare them for use in various national and international championships.

“The feedback on the BMW Z4 GT3 is extremely positive,” says BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen. “This sports car rounds off our product range, and offers drivers and teams the opportunity to compete in championships in accordance with the GT3 regulations – such as the FIA GT3 European Championship, the International GT Open or the ADAC GT Masters – as well as at 24-hour endurance races.” In addition, the BMW M3 GT2, the BMW 320si WTCC, which complies with Super2000 regulations, and the close-to-production BMW M3 GT4 are also available to customer teams from all over the world at BMW Motorsport Distribution.
The production model of the BMW Z4 is already impressive: with its elongated bonnet, flared wheel arches, long wheel base and narrow projections, the car boasts an unmistakable appearance. The two-seater provided BMW Motorsport engineers with a good basis for developing a close-to-production GT3 racing car.
The largest difference between production and racing car can be found under the bonnet: while the production version of the BMW Z4 is driven by a six-cylinder engine, the GT3 car is powered by a 4.0-litre eight-cylinder engine similar to the unit used in the BMW M3 GT2. This powerful heart produces over 480 bhp. Its excellent performance characteristics and good torque curve make the base engine from the production version of the BMW M3 predestined for use in motorsport.
The fitting of the V8 engine had a considerable influence on the development of the BMW Z4 GT3. Initially, design-space examinations were performed using CATIA V5 design software, in order to place the engine in the ideal position and meet racing specifications. The engineers then added all the other components.
When it comes to electronics, the private teams can look forward to innovative BMW solutions, which have already been tried and tested on the BMW M3 GT2: the modern ECU408 takes over the engine management, while the Power400 electronic control unit is responsible for controlling all the actuators. The power is transmitted through a six-speed, sequential gearbox with “Quick Shift” function.
Rims with central locking and safety clip are also included in delivery. In addition, the BMW Z4 GT3 also offers driver assistance systems such as racing ABS and traction control, which have been adopted from other cars in the customer racing range, and then further developed and modified for use in the GT3 car.
The front axle of the BMW Z4 GT3 is a completely new design, based on a series concept. It is equipped with a tubular stabiliser bar with adjustable blades. The rear axle is designed as a longitudinal link axle, as with the series version of the BMW Z4. The steel body of the car comes from the BMW Plant in Regensburg. A safety cell made of extremely rigid, precision steel tubing is then welded into the body. The engine block of the V8 engine is produced in the BMW foundry in Landshut. The BMW Plant in Dingolfing contributes the rear axle differential and drive shaft, among other things.
During the development, BMW Motorsport engineers worked hand in hand in other areas with their colleagues from series production. This allowed them to access calculations from the field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) when designing the car’s aerodynamics. Furthermore, tests were also carried out in the wind tunnel and on the BMW Group’s test benches.
Front and rear wings, bonnet, roof, fender and many other components are made of carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP). Using this lightweight, torsion-resistant material contributed significantly to reducing the weight of the BMW Z4 GT3 to 1,200 kilograms.
As with all cars in the BMW customer racing range, the emphasis was also put on cost-efficiency when developing the BMW Z4 GT3. As a result, the car offers a very good cost/performance ratio and gives private teams the opportunity to participate in affordable motorsport at the highest level.
The BMW Z4 GT3 is available as a racing car at a cost of 298,000 Euros (plus VAT).

2011 The 1-Series BMW

And that folks is why BMW has recently announced during that same telephone interview that they intend to build front wheel drive BMWs by 2014. It is not that they have decided to join the front wheel drive bandwagon. It's just that to 1-series owners, or future BMW entry level owners, what wheels drive the car is immaterial. They just want in on the brand. Maybe BMW should change their taglines to 'FWD? RWD? AWD? Who cares? It's a BMW' or 'Joy of owning the Ultimate Badge'.

They know this as they're producing gargantuan SUV-coupes like the X6M or the X5M. These are two vehicles for people who just want the 'M' badge but don't actually like driving really fast. I say this because no matter how fast or powerful an SUV is, the car with the same engine and drive train, would be able to out handle any performance SUVs regardless of the situation. Then they sell the entry level 1-series to people who are just looking for a BMW and do not actually ask which wheels drive the car in the first place. Apparently, it looks like the actual fast driving enthusiasts aren't driving BMWs anymore.

Motomodif: Pending dell'Eicma of Milan, here are the first pictures and info on all the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure. Arrive in substance and renovated more aesthetic, the power increases to 110 hp

2010 BMW R 1200 GS comes Eicma 2009. Reviewed the most successful model of the House of Monaco, who will submit to the Milan Fair (open to the public from next Thursday) standard versions, and Adventure with the new engine. Aesthetics substantially identical, the news is inside.

The new boxer engine, which uses technology DOHC, has the same design principle and the same configuration up of the BMW HP2 Sport, with adaptations to the needs of large user requests in enduro trip. Even the engines of 1170 cc from the previous models offered a good push in all conditions of travel and in all driving situations right now the new engine that equips the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure raises the bar by offering greater thrust at low revs the wider range of use, better sprinting and an overall improvement in driving pleasure, thanks to the 110 hp and at the maximum expanded use of 500 g / min. no fi at 8,500 rpm.

With the configuration up the four radial valves, it was possible to realize a combustion chamber from the very compact design. Like previous models, the mixture is ignited by two spark plugs (and the HP2 Sport from 1), while it remained unchanged compression ratio that is 12,0:1.

The exhaust system remains essentially unchanged with regard to the shape, length and diameter of the exhaust manifolds. The pipe market interference has been modified to fit new report vibration. The electronically controlled valves located on the exhaust manifold assures a more aggressive exhaust tone, while remaining within the rules package. The valve is controlled by an electric motor.

2012 BMW K 1600 GT & GTL Sport Tourer in INTERMOT

2012 BMW K 1600 GTL Sport Tourer

2012 BMW K 1600 GT

The K1600GT and GTL are based about a new inline six agent with a claimed ability achievement of 160hp and 129 ft-lb. of torque. According to BMW, the engine’s 226 batter weight makes it the lightest serially produced inline six agent over 1000cc. That helps the K1600GT affirmation a weight of 703 pounds (without panniers) while the K1600GTL comes in at a heftier 767 pounds (with panniers and topcase).

Seemingly anon on the heels of transforming the sportbike class with their arch S 1000 RR this accomplished year, BMW has its architect set durably on revamping the action touring and affluence touring segments of motorcycling.

North American journalists got their aboriginal appearance Stateside of the abundant advancing 6-cylinder 2011 BMW K 1600 GTL the added night at Jay Leno's garage.

The new motorcycle (which will be produced as the GT and the GTL) is emboldened with a 1649cc inline 6-cylinder agent that is transversally army in a beefy, sportbike-inspired ambit chassis.

The Motorrad (motorcycle) analysis put BMW's all-encompassing history of engineering and developing in-line 6-cylinder auto engines to acceptable use. BMW engineers acquainted a 6-cylinder belvedere would accommodate absurd torque, attractive complete (especially at aerial revs) and, conceivably best importantly, cottony bland delivery.

This approach is able in the BMW K 1600 with an admirable 160 application (at 7750 rpm) with a best torque appraisement of 129 ft/lbs (at 5250 rpm)-of which 70% is accessible at an amazing 1,500 rpm. Adding acceptance to these performance-oriented stats is a compression arrangement of 12.2:1.

Surprisingly, due the ability of the 6-cylinder configuration, the K 1600 claims bigger afar per gallon (MPG) than the K 1300 GT.

BMW is accurate not to characterization the GTL as a luxury-touring motorcycle, preferring to bread the appellation "top tourer," which is intended-quite rightly-to adjure a sportier persona. A abundant accord of assignment went into ensuring the new K bikes would ultimately be fun to ride, which was targeted by activity to abundant lengths to save weight and accumulate the bike slim.

The new BMW agent is a little beneath than 22" wide, authoritative it commensurable to best in-line fours. This was accomplished with a break of aloof 5mm amid butt sleeves (0.197th of an inch).

The limitations of metals technology would accept fabricated this absurd twenty years ago. The absolute engine, with gearbox, clamp and alternator, weights aloof 226 pounds. These statistics point against a awful maneuverable and active ample accommodation motorcycle that promises to behave added like a sportbike than a ambit bike.

BMW is alive to analyze the two motorbikes, preferring to bazaar the K 1600 GT as added of antic experience, with accent on a distinct addition (although it will handle a commuter absolutely sufficiently).

The GT is advised to awning a lot of ambit in a abbreviate bulk of time. The GTL fills the role as a added ambrosial best for two-up riding, able to bear above abundance while actual almost sporty.

The new K bikes acquire ride-by-wire burke valve operation with a 3-way ride approach for ability commitment (rain - alley - dynamic) as able-bodied Activating Traction Control. Design cues are new academy BMW, with a adequately advancing adherent allowance and ancillary cut-aways that acknowledge the agent in a adventurous achievement of masculinity.

A big account is the industry aboriginal Adaptive Headlight, which utilizes an auto leveling apparatus that maintains a connected acreage of ablaze on a akin border admitting angular bend or angle due to braking and accelerating. Aside from the new 6-cylinder powerplant, this is what I'm best absorbed to test.

The BMW K 1600 GT and GTL will be accessible backward Spring of 2011 as 2012 models. Pricing as of columnist time was listed alone as TBD.
