BMW

When BMW first debuted the Hydrogen 7 back in 2006 we were all in awe that it was diversified enough to run on both gasoline and hydrogen. Naturally we were excited about this and knew that it was a wise move on BMW’s part. After all the V12 engine has a 30 gallon tank and the -253° Centigrade liquid hydrogen will hold up for 125 miles. The other tank was designed to hole 19.5 gallons of gasoline – which can last up to 310 miles.

In Lincoln, Nebraska BMW put up one of their brand new M3’s up for auction on eBay for $60,000. Obviously they were hoping that eBay shoppers would come flocking to buy the M3 and the price would increase a considerable amount. It seems to be working for many of the other dealerships who have been trying it – but this time the plan backfired on them.

It’s that time of year again to announce the winner of the 2008 World Car of the Year Award. Cars from around the world are judged on their value, safety, merit, and of course how responsible and helpful they are to the environment. I know that each of us were rooting for our personal favorites (Mercedes S-Class) – but here are the three finalists; the Mazda2/Demio, Ford Mondeo, and Mercedes C-Class. The winner was (drum roll) the Mazda2/Demio – which was a bit of a surprise to some of us here at CarXen.

BMW has become more than just a popular car – but also an icon among people today. When you see a BMW on the road it makes jealous that they got their hands on something that is full of luxury and class. Starting in 2012 BMW will be labeled as a large vehicle manufacturer over here in the U.S.

BMW has announced that they will be expanding on its only U.S. assembly plant that is located in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The plant has been increasing the production amount causing the capacity to run past the usual amount. The capacity amount is for 140,000 cars per year. However, BMW is happy to see that workers turned out 154,999 in 2007.
