BMW might be a few months behind the rest of the world's bike firms, but it has finally revealed its entire 2001 range.
BMW has never gone in for radical reinventions of its bikes, so it's no surprise to see the latest launches are subtle developments of current models rather than all-new machines.
BMW says the brakes are 20 per cent more powerful than the old units, meaning it will take a lot less effort to bring the bike to a halt.

 Inside Line: First Drive: 2004 BMW 645Ci - BMW's New Six Is Closer to a Nine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
First is that BMW considered the 8 Series a replacement to the 6, which is news to anyone who attended the original launch of that heavyweight coupe, priced and positioned in a more upscale snack bracket than the outgoing 635.
BMW's technology-du-jour, however, is the new Active Steering system that made its debut on the 5 Series.
BMW has also decided that the steering wheels of its sportier models need to be thicker, but the company might have overdone it in the 6 Series.

 BMW CCA News | BMW Car Club of America
BMW truck sales (X3, X5) were hardest hit because of the switchover from the E53 first-generation X5 to the E70 second generation, falling 28% to only 3,785.
BMW sells the X5 diesel around the world, except in the U.S. In 2004 a pair of X5 diesels (not this one) were fourth and eighth in Paris-Dakar (first in class).
BMW didn’t say which models or when exactly in 2008 they’ll be out, but there’s both demand and pressure, since Mercedes-Benz is generating considerable publicity with its new, and already-on-sale, Bluetec diesel-engine vehicles.

BMW M, also known as M-Technik or just "M" (for ''Motorsport'') was initially created to facilitate BMW’s racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s.
I'd query whether the New Sixes were an ancestor to the 5-series: they ran concurrently for many years and the New Six models only disappeared when the 6- and 7-series were launched.
It is widely acknowledged that the BMW 328 was a strong influence on the Jaguar XK 120 of 1948.

BMW emphasizes that this is a 'lifestyle' car, a car more for onroad use instead of offroad use, as the Range Rover will have better off-road capability.
BMW realises there is a demand for a more affordable 6 cylinder Z3, so it will drop the 2 litre, in line 6 in to the Z3 2.8 body.
BMW is preparing for the attack from Merc's new S-class, due out later this year, by improving the current 7 Series.

BMW engineers have gone to great lengths to disguise the shape of the car's roof, but all indications are it will look something like the Volkswagen Concept A.
BMW is also opposed to using the same brand name used by Chrysler/Mercedes and Volkswagen/Audi for its diesel vehicles, according to the report.
The BMW Group in the U.S. reported an overall sales decrease in October of 4.6 percent, with the Group reporting 24,464 vehicles verses the 25,635 reported in 2005.

 BMW New Six - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2500 and 2800 sedans were sold in the USA as the Bavaria, a name which some enthusiasts apply to the whole range.
The New Sixes are the direct ancestors of the now-familiar 7-Series.
The E23 BMW 7-series was nearly offered with a 96-horsepower 1.6 liter four-cylinder as its base engine.

 BMW's New Six-Cylinder Engines - In Depth - bimmerfest - BMW Forums
BMW’s medium-term corporate plans reveal that around half of all new BMW cars will in future be powered by a new R6.
New material technologies such as composite magnesium/aluminium, lightweight exhaust manifolds and camshafts result in the R6 having a weight advantage of 10 kg compared to its predecessor — notwithstanding the increase in output and a drop in fuel consumption attained by the use of VALVETRONIC.
The environmental behaviour of the new BMW 535d is equally as exemplary, as BMW does not employ the latest technology in its new top-of-the-range diesel simply to achieve development of power, but also in the treatment of exhaust gas.

 BMW at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show
BMW is setting new highlights at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show with no less than three new models being introduced at the same time: As a dream car of the highest standard, the new 6 Series Coupé is continuing the tradition of BMW?s legendary luxury coupés.
Both elegant and dynamic in one, the BMW 645 Ci may rightly claim, through its engine, its sporting driving characteristics, and generous space inside, to set a new benchmark in the luxury sports coupé segment.
The new BMW X3, in turn, represents the same kind of exceptional breakthrough: Very dynamic and versatile all in one, this new model extends the successful BMW X-family, combining the outstanding agility of a typical BMW with the broad scope of benefits offered by a Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV).

 Tuning Linx - BMW 130i - Highlights & Short Story
And the BMW 130i, in particular, guarantees an all-new dimension in terms of dynamic performance, the generation and transmission of power by and from the engine going far beyond usual categories and standards.
BMW's fully variable VALVETRONIC valve drive, together with infinite camshaft adjustment (VANOS) on both the intake and outlet valves, guarantees a particularly fascinating rendition of all round efficiency.
As a result, every movement of the gas pedal in the BMW 130i is translated directly and with supreme accuracy in the dosage of fuel into driving dynamics on the road.

 Bob's BMW Motorcycles - R1200S
This new addition to the Boxer series is following in the footsteps of the successful R 1100 S, with the focus clearly on sporting performance and dynamic riding characteristics.
Rather, one of the most important objectives in developing the new R 1200 S was to achieve a perfect synthesis of sportiness and everyday riding qualities enabling the rider to take on a relaxed seating position for effortless riding enjoyment even on long distances.
BMW's new Sports Boxer benefits from the innovations already featured on the R 1200 GS: Displacing 1,170 cc, the two-cylinder features four valves and two spark plugs per cylinder, thus following the basic principle of the flat-twin power unit of the GS model.

 New straight six for BMW Six - News - Autocar Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The first in a new generation of BMW in-line sixes makes its debut in the 635 Ci coupé and cabriolet in October.
The £44,000 6-series is the first of a range of models powered by the revolutionary new six that features BMW’s Valvetronic technology and a new magnesium/aluminium block, making it seven per cent lighter than today’s 3.0-litre six.
October also marks the launch of BMW’s new twin-turbo six in the auto-only 535d and, inevitably, it too is destined for every BMW bar the 1-series and sports cars.

 The Six is back
BMW's 6 Series coupe is stuffed with so many fascinating technologies that it'd take a book to cover them properly.
The lightweight metal is also used in the hood and doors, although BMW chose to use plastics for the front fenders and trunklid.
So, BMW's new 645Ci is more of a personal luxury coupe than a people-carrying 2+2, and, laden with the latest technologies, it makes Interstate miles go by with ease.

 2006 BMW 5 Series Review - Edmunds.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
BMW accomplished its mission with a redesign in 1997 that gave it a look and feel that remained popular right up until the latest redesign last year.
For 2006, BMW has fitted the 525 and 530 models with an all-new 3.0-liter inline six, and replaced the 4.4-liter V8 with a 4.8-liter unit.
BMW's new 3.0-liter six-cylinder generates 215 horsepower in 525 models, and 255 hp in 530 versions thanks to an upgraded intake manifold and software.

The new bike is listed as a 2002 model, although available soon from your BMW dealer (*who may point out that you'll have to pay tax, license and other fees that raise the total above ten grand).
BMW's new Evo braking components decorate new five-spoke cast alloy wheels, also, we imagine, stronger than previous components, although sizes remain the same, and the wheelbase is unchanged from the previous model.
Highly unscientific back to back rides on bikes with and without the new system confirmed that it's possible to stop quicker with the new one (we rode on the same section of dry pavement, activating the brakes at the same place at 50mph: the new system stopped one bike length shorter).

 BMW Magazine - BMW News : The BMW Z4 Coupe concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2005
Presenting this Concept Car, BMW is establishing new trends in terms of design, concepts, and technology.
The Concept Car is powered by BMW's new 3.0-litre straight-six developing maximum output of 195 kW/265 hp and peak torque of 315 Nm/232 lb-ft. Acceleration from 0—100 km/h is expected to take only about 5.7 seconds, with the car's top speed ending at the 250 km/h (155 mph) mark applicable to BMW's production models.
The flowing roofline, in turn, characterises the BMW Z4 Coupé as a classic coupé with its centre of gravity moved at least visibly to the rear axle.

Driving the rear wheels, the BMW 130i retains the optimum 50/50 weight distribution of the 120i thanks to the new weight-saving technology used in the engine.
The BMW 130i is aimed at performance enthusiasts who enjoy the rear-wheel driving experience, where engine output is not frittered away in wheelspin, nor steering response corrupted by torque steer.
The aluminium-magnesium composite block is a world first for a six-cylinder, though the BMW composite technology and bedplate block design has been borrowed from the new V10 5.0-litre found in the M5 and M6 supercars.

With its cockpit based on BMW’s iDrive philosophy, the new 5 Series is taking on a pioneering role in its class in driver-oriented ergonomics: Most functions essential for motoring are within the driver’s immediate reach on or around the steering wheel, whilst the basic comfort functions are in the centre console.
The fourth colour world is truffle brown, again a new colour exclusive to the 5 Series and combined with natural fl in a special colour scheme emphasizing the modern, natural look of the interior and at the same time providing a discreet but distinguished sign of sporting performance.
