The 2010 BMW Gran Turismo: The Latest and Greatest BMW SAV

One of Miami's most exciting vehicles on the road today, the BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo manages to seamlessly blend the benefits of a sedan, wagon and hatchback into one remarkable vehicle. Though it is built upon the concept of their 5-series vehicles, the Gran Turismo has supple traces of the 7-series in its genes as well.

With a strong emphasis place upon comfort and luxury, it provides the best experience in passenger comfort yet. All seats in every position can both recline and slide forward and back, allowing passengers of any size the perfect amount of legroom. Plenty of other features are clearly designed with passenger comfort in mind, as well.

The angled, LED-powered headlights and rakish design give the Turismo the unmistakable classic look of a BMW, while the 4.4 liter, 400 hp twin-turbocharged V8 and ZF 8-speed automatic that does 0 to 60 in 5.4 seconds provides the typical BMW's unrivaled performance.

The all-new BMW Gran Turismo looks to become another feature-laden, high performance, beautifully styled versatile SAV and will arrive sometime in early 2010.

The BMW 328i Coupe: Miami's Hot Coupe better than ever

The BMW 328i Coupe is on of Miami's top selling performance coupes with good reason. The well-built, solid-feeling premium compact is dressed to the nines inside and out. The ride is comfortable, the available power impressive, the high-quality components well-fit and the handling unmatched. All-in-all, the vehicle is a lasting testament to BMW's world class engineering.

The 328i boasts a 3.0 liter inline 6-cylinder engine that can produce 230 horsepower. Acceleration is precise and instantaneous, allowing a greater command of the road. A near 50/50 weight distribution on the axles and a newly-designed suspension perfectly blends a comfortable ride with a strong sense of handling, meaning your passengers will appreciate the comfort while the driver will appreciate the direct feel of contact with the road. A six-speed manual is standard, while the automatic, and the steering-mounted paddle-shifting Steptronic system, are available as options.

A look inside will reveal an excellent blend of comfort and luxury. The cabin is roomy and inviting, while the driver's position is clearly designed to involve an appreciative driver with the control and function of the vehicle. Controls and features are carefully and intelligently placed, without the sacrifice of design or luxury. Supportive seats are clearly designed for comfort on rides both short and long, and a well-laid instrument cluster round out the dashboard with a both functional and artistic look. Dynamic Stability Control, Dynamic Traction Control, adaptive brake lights, and 4-wheel ventilated anti-lock braking system round out the safety features.

All in all, the BMW 328i Coupe is a remarkably engineered vehicle with rock-solid handling, generous and precise acceleration, luxurious comfort and prestigious styling. One look, one drive, and you will understand how the 3-Series has remained, and will remain, at the top of its class in every way.

The BMW 1 Series Coupe

The new BMW 1 Series Coupe represents the core BMW philosophies of pure performance and premium design. By combining sporty rear-wheel-drive dynamics, agile handling, powerful engines and seating for four, the 1 Series Coupe reinvents the niche that the legendary BMW 2002 created. The 1 Series Coupe is available in two versions; the 128i and the 135i.

Powered by a 3.0-liter, 230 horsepower inline 6-cyinder engine that generates 200 lb-ft of torque, the 128i Coupe will feature Valvetronic valvetrain management and aluminum/magnesium contruction-core elements of BMW's EfficientDynamics. The powerful 135i Coupe features BMW's twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower and an incredible 300 lb-ft of torque from as low as 1,400 rpm. With its direct piezo gasoline injectors, twin low-mass turbochargers and air-to-air inter-cooling, optimum performance and economy is achieved with no loss in engine response.

For the 135i Coupe, acceleration from 0-62 mph is accomplished in 5.3 seconds and top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph. Both engines feature on-demand engine coolant pumps that improve fuel economy and reduce parasitic losses for increased output. Both models are tremendously powerful, and there is so much available power the 1-Series seems to leap from corner to corner and traffic light to traffic light with incredible speed, grace and panache. A sport suspension, 18" mixed performance tires, and 6-caliper BMW branded front brakes dress this beautiful machine up even further, and all come as standard equipment. All in all, it is a remarkable vehicle at a remarkable price, and we invite you to come see it for yourself. By the time your test drive is complete, we are sure you'll be glad you came.

The BMW M3: The Ultimate Performance Machine

What makes the new BMW M3 one of Miami's perennial favorite BMW performance driving machines?

Well, for starters, the 2009 M3 can transmit 414 horsepower to its rear-wheel drive with its close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox, with peak torque climbing up to a lofty 295 pound-feet, allowing the vehicle to accelerate from 0-60 in an impressive 4.8 seconds and reach an overall 155 mph. Adding to the year of firsts is the M3's interesting roof design. BMW claims it is the first production vehicle in its segment with a roof made of reinforced carbon fiber, a tactic often used in professional racing sports to lower overall vehicle weight, and drop the center of gravity. This enhances the speed, nimbleness and handling of the vehicle, making the M3 yet another perfectly-optimized Ultimate Driving Machine. Throw in weight-optimized aluminum components, and other little feats of weight engineering, and you can see the intent within the design- to make the lightest, most responsive and powerful production vehicle that can be made. BMW pays attention to all the little details, and they all add up to an incredible driving experience.

Aesthetically, the 2009 BMW M3 has a lot going for it as well. Almost everything on the vehicle has been carefully redesigned. Its body features such as the flared wheel arches, air-intake scoops, dual tailpipes and side sills are all custom-designed for the 2009 M3. A careful 50/50 weight balance on the axles truly makes this a chassis designed to be "faster than its engine". All and all, it has an athletic, sporting stance that separates it from the competition.

Keep your eyes peeled for the 2009 BMW M3's coupe, sedan and convertible models, as their arrival will spell sheer driving delight to any and all drivers that appreciate a true love of driving, travel and performance.

The BMW X6: Sport Activity Coupe

If you are looking for the all-around performance utility vehicle to take on a diverse Miami lifestyle, look no further than the ultra-sleek, new BMW X6 performance coupe.

BMW once again breaks the mold and challenges the current conventions of car-making with its revolutionary new BMW X6. As impossible as it sounds, BMW has managed to perfectly blend the size and utility of a SUV into the 2009 BMW X6, while somehow managing to keep it handling remarkably like a coupe.

A choice between two turbo-charged engines is surely one of the main sources of the nimbleness of the new BMW 2009 X6, with the base models outfitted with the same twin-turbo 3.0 liter inline-6 as the 3 and 5 series sedans, delivering 300 hp and 300 pound-feet of torque. The higher trim model receives the new twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8, delivering 400 hp and 450 pound-feet of torque.

Both engines use direct injection to ensure maximum, efficient production of power.

Additionally, BMW will be using the X6 platform to debut their new chassis control system, Dynamic Performance Control. Collaborating with the xDrive all-wheel drive (which is standard on both trim models of the X6), the Dynamic Performance Control system provides ultimate control by varying the distribution of power between the wheels and ensuring stability regardless of speed. In addition to distributing the power between the wheels, the Dynamic Performance Control also adjusts the level of torque delivered between the front and rear wheels, allowing more stable steering when cornering.

The concept of the all-new BMW 2009 X6 isn't entirely focused on offering under-the-hood driving pleasure. It is beautiful as well. With the sleek lines and sloping roof of its design, it has a noticeably stylish shape, and will be a real head-turner wherever it might journey.
