When it comes to finding a great sport sedan, the automotive market is like a massive haystack.  With this truth, it is very difficult to find a needle in the mass of look-alikes, wannabes, and distractions.  So, with so many options is it even worth finding the one real golden needle among all the strands of hay?  Of course!  Moreover, fortunately for you, your search through the stack has finally paid off in finding that needle!  Your new Carbon Black Metallic 2008 BMW 550i with Navigation, M Sport Package, Comfort Access System, Rear Sunshades, Active Steering, Active Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Logic 7 Sound, IR camera, and Satellite Radio is truly a rare gem.  Its vast array of unique options set it apart from not only other brands on the road, but even from its other 550i brethren.  From its rare black headliner to its enviable active cruise control, this is just the car to separate you from other cars on the road and their drivers.  You will be a standout not just because of your beautiful car, but also because of how much you saved buying wholesale.  Let us see just how spectacular your new 550i is!

 

EXTERIOR: Your 550i looks great clothed in CARBON BLACK METALLIC paint.  At a quick glance, the color looks like a shimmering black, but with closer inspection, you can see gorgeous dark blue undertones.  Under the hood of your new BMW, you will find the 550i's claim to fame: a 4.8L DOHC V8 engine with 360 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque.  You will love the sound of the roaring engine with each press of the gas pedal.  Despite all that ability, your BMW still gets a remarkable 22 highway MPG!  As part of the M sport package, upgraded 19" M sport wheels are wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tires (in excellent shape) look great on the car.

 

INTERIOR: The outside of your car is incredibly remarkable, but what about inside?  The interior is outfitted in clean black upholstery complemented by bamboo wood trim and rare black headliner.  The 20-way power sport front multi-contour bucket seats feel comfortable and and can be adjusted to fit you perfectly.  To ensure that everyone in the vehicle will be comfortable, there is tri-zone automatic climate control with auto air circulation and other great functions.  One of the nicest features of the vehicle is the BMW iDrive system with on-board computer.  With the built-in factory navigation system, you can easy get turn-by-turn directions to just about any destination.  Also housed in this unit are on-screen visual controls for the climate, car options, and entertainment.  The upgraded Logic 7 BMW stereo with graphic equalizer includes AM/FM/Satellite radio stereo with CD player and changer and MP3 capabilities sounds great through the ten speakers and two subwoofers.  The Lane Departure Warning system is activated with just the push of a button on your steering wheel.  As you drive, the car will monitor your driving and the steering wheel will vibrate to let you know if you begin to drift from your lane.  This is a great safety feature, especially on longer trips.  You will love utilizing the Comfort Access System for keyless entry and start.  The car will detect the key in your pocket or purse and allow you to enter the car and start it without ever taking out the key!

 

In addition, your BMW Night Vision provides a new dimension of optical perception when driving at night.  A thermal imaging camera detects human beings, animals, and objects in front of the car before they become visible to the human eye in the headlights.  The image generated by the system is trans­mitted to the central Control Display within the car presenting objects detected with increasing brightness as a function of the heat detected by the camera -- and therefore making human beings and animals particularly conspicuous.

 

The thermal imaging camera covers a range of up to 300 metres or almost 1,000 feet ahead of the car.  BMW Night Vision therefore offers the customer particular benefits when driving over land, down narrow lanes, through gateways leading into courtyards, and into dark under­ground garages, significantly enhancing driving safety at night.

BMW, Toyota outline new tech joint venture, new sports car

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

Back in June, Toyota and BMW announced a "memorandum of understanding" outlining plans for the two companies to join forces on future products and technology development. On Thursday, they signed a more formal and binding agreement that goes further into detail about the partnership, and it all sounds pretty exciting. The two announced they will work together in four main areas:
Joint development of a fuel cell system
"Set up a feasibility study to define a joint platform concept for a mid-size sports vehicle"

Toyota Supra, Rolls-Royces, dozens of BMWs recalled for backup camera issue

Wed, Oct 9 2019

Weeks after Nissan and Infiniti recalled more than 1.2 million vehicles for a potentially dangerous programming oversight in the backup camera settings, BMW has issued a recall for similar problems. The recall, which covers 257,481 vehicles, includes numerous BMWs, as well as two Rolls-Royce models, and the 2020 Toyota Supra.  In total, the recall potentially affects 51 different products. This includes the 2018 BMW 540D, 2018–2019 BMW 640I, Rolls-Royce Phantom, 2018–2020 BMW 530e, 530i, 540i, M5, M550i, X3, 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan, 2019–2020 BMW 330I, 740Le, 740Li, 745Le, 750Li, 840i, M340i, M850i, X4, X5, X6, X7, Z4, and 2020 Toyota Supra. On certain BMW models, xDrive variants are also included. According to NHTSA campaign No. 19V684000, "The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rearview image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse." If there is no display image when backing up, drivers can't properly see, and the car no longer meets modern safety regulations. Specifically, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."  The recall was filed on September 27, 2019, and BMW plans to begin notifying affected owners in November. BMW, Toyota, and Rolls-Royce dealers will update the vehicles' software, which should fix the problem. 

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW plans for retired batteries; automakers support dual-standard chargers

Sun, Feb 1 2015

Toyota will test hybrids with silicon-carbide (SiC) power semiconductors. In Japan, Toyota has put the SiC power semiconductors into the power control units of a Camry Hybrid prototype and a fuel cell bus for a year-long test. Research suggests the SiC units will decrease electrical losses while managing power supply, thus improving overall powertrain efficiency. Current power semiconductors account for about 20 percent of electrical losses, and success with these tests could mean more efficient hybrids on the roads in the future. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Automakers from CCS and CHAdeMO camps are supporting dual-standard charging station networks. https://www.autoblog.com/bmw/, Volkswagen (CCS camp) and ChargePoint announced plans to build "express charging corridors" by installing about 100 DC fast chargers, many of which will support both types of charging. Kansas City Power & Light is partnering with Nissan (CHAdeMO camp) and ChargePoint to install DC chargers that "will charge any model of electric vehicle on the market." This leads the folks at Green Car Reports to look into whether this ends the looming standard war between automakers in the US. Read more at Green Car Reports. BMW, Bosch and utility company Vattenfall are making plans for a second life for retired BMW i3 batteries. The Second Life Batteries Alliance project will recycle the old lithium ion battery packs - which can still hold a charge - in off-grid storage and grid-stabilization applications, beginning with a grid storage system in Hamburg, Germany. Bosch has created a battery management algorithm to extend the life of the batteries and make sure they don't cause harm to Vattenfall's facilities. Read more at Transport Evolved.
