BMW 328 Hommage honors the original at Pebble Beach, Calif.
Share
First unveiled at the 'other' concours (Ville d'Este), the BMW 328 Hommage concept made an appearance at Pebble Beach, Calif., along side its muse. Taking the finest details of the 1930's race car and
applying them to an ultra-modern design concept, the 328 Hommage weighs just 1,700 lbs thanks to an extensive use of carbon fiber.
Key similarities between the two vehicles include the elongated BMW grille and the dish wheels, while the Hommage has a notable absence of doors, much like the original 328 race car.

The BMW design house has traditionally skipped generations to complete both evolutions, and revolutions of their cars. Alternating back and forth, the E46 was a safe (and handsome) evolutionary step from the E36, while the E90 broke the mold and found a revolutionary "flame" inspired new shape.

BMW M5 diesel
USA Today

That remarkable diesel engine in BMW's 3-series sedan is to get a power upgrade and make an appearance in the BMW M5 sedan next spring. The M5 diesel will have three turbochargers, he says, rather than
two that are fitted to the 3-series diesel. Most diesel purveyors are only putting a single turbo on theirs.

Why won't BMW sell its full 1-Series lineup to Canadians?
The Globe and Mail
Share
If, after all, BMW can manage to earn a profit of more than $4-billion for the second quarter and if owners say they love what BMW makes — the BMW
brand finished third in the 2011 J.D. Power and Associates APEAL (Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) study, which is a so-called "things gone right" bit of research — then why can't BMW solve the problem of how to make the entire 1-Series lineup viable and sellable in Canada?
