BMW X6 – 2010 models recalled in US
It appears that Toyota and Honda are not alone in the recall game. Joining the bandwagon is the premium car maker BMW. The company has intimated the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in US of a fault in X5 and X6 models manufactured between December 14, 2009 and December 16, 2009.
There have been no reports or complaints filed with NHTSA by customers. This is a notification by the company to the administrator of a safety defect in case of a rollover crash.
We do not know the number of vehicles under the recall, but this could be merely in hundreds. What is of more significance is the nature of the notice and the probable safety issue being reported.
A bunch of new Bimmers arrive at the Auto Expo next year
The Auto Expo 2010, which goes on from January 5 to 11 next year in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, will be packed with new models from BMW, reports Autocar India. The German brand will show new cars as well as its existing line-up in its booth next year.
Apart from the currently running BMW models, the Indians will have the first look of the 400 bhp, twin-turbo direct-injected 4.4-liter V8 550i Gran Turismo. The new compact SUV BMW X1 will also make an appearance along with the new 760Li with 535bhp twin-turbo, 6.0-liter, V12 engine.
Besides all this, the new BMW X6 M with the 4.4-liter, 555 bhp V8 engine will also be among the exhibits.
BMW has announced that it would support the bid by Munich to bring the 2018 Winter Olympic Games to their home city. The manufacturer promised to offer three to five million Euros for the first application phase which will run between 2009 and 2011.
Nick Heidfeld, the BMW Sauber driver, compares his F1 car to the BMW X5M. Part of the video is shot at the BMW Stall of the Shanghai Motor Show, which was conducted for a week last month.
Just because they are one cylinder smaller, don’t be fooled into thinking they are slow and no go. One glance at the stats prove they are more powerful and torquier than the present family. They would also be lighter and cleaner and should I mention more fuel efficient?

Nice try BMW! Your story is well compiled, but due to the lack of quotes, diagrams, graphs or reactions your story wasn’t bought.
BMW’s April 1st story is outrageous science fiction. The company explains its technology employs a magnet in front of the car. When activated, it uses the car in front of it as the power source, as a magnet is attracted towards metallic objects.
