BMW has whisked the sheets off its 2011 X3, and the second-generation crossover looks suspiciously like its predecessor. Beyond a seemingly endless parade of spy shots over the last couple of years, that’s predictable, as the Spartanburg-built X3 has been a considerable sales success for the German automaker.
While the sheetmetal stays largely the same, the lineup receives new engines and an eight-speed automatic gearbox that’s set to spread like kudzu throughout the automaker’s offerings. The X3 also becomes the first model in BMW’s growing X franchise to adopt electric power steering (the automaker’s controversial variable sports steering rack is optional), as well as optional Damper Control and Dynamic Drive Control (as seen on its range of sedans and sports cars).
In addition to the new sheetmetal, BMW promises added rear seat room, addressing one of the vehicle’s key shortcomings for the North American market.
Power will come from BMW’s Twinpower Turbo (Bimmerese for twin-scroll turbo) inline six-cylinder engine that gives the XDrive35i model 306 brake horsepower at 5,800 rpm with max torque of 295 pound-feet of torque at just 1,300 rpm. That’s good enough for a 0-62 mph time of just 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 152 mph, though it’s not clear if that figure will be governed when it reaches us Yanks. An entry-level xDrive28i model will also receive I-6 power, with 240 hp and 230 pound-feet of torque. Naturally, diesel mills will also be available in other areas of the globe, but as of yet, BMW officials haven’t committed to bringing an oil burner to the States. The gas model, however, should be in showrooms before year’s end.
Check out our gallery of live shots below, and hop the jump for the official press release.

2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe gets early reveal
BMW hasn’t done the best job of keeping its 2012 1 Series M Coupe a secret. The hot new two-door isn’t scheduled to make its public debut until the Detroit Auto Show next month, but we’ve already seen dozens ofteaser images and videos. Heck, we’ve even driven a prototype.
Now, BMW has released video of the production-ready 1M with all of its swirly paper removed. Its bulgy, brash front end and wider stance certainly look the part of a serious baby brother to the M3, and while official numbers have yet to be confirmed, we’re indeed looking forward to flogging all 340-ish horsepower via a standard six-speed manual transmission.

BMW Sport Cars M3 by Daniel Nikonchik Concept Car For The Year 2050
This vehicle is a BMW concept imagined for the year 2050. Designer Daniel Nikonchik has designed BMW M3 concept supercar for 2050 that would enhance ownership status and be equally environmentally friendly too. Daniel Nikonchik’s BMW M3 Concept Car is not only elegant but also technically advanced. The BMW M3 is fitted with new features and innovations that will surely appeal to all car lovers.

BMW Sport Cars M3 by Daniel Nikonchik Concept Car For The Year 2050
Other than the new innovations such as Nano Paint, fiber optic door jams, fully down loadable interiors, the BMW Sport Cars M3 by Daniel Nikonchik Concept Car For The Year 2050 features millions of nano sized cameras incorporated with the exterior paint, allowing the occupant see through the body panels even though there is no transplant windows.
The data from the cameras is then sent to depth-perceiving high definition displays made possible by the millions of cameras on the exterior to provide stereoscopic camera angles. This allows for new continuous ideas in body shapes without having to account for the traditional greenhouse as well as night vision capabilities and the ability to zoom in on road signs not yet in viewing distance.

BMW Sport Cars M3 by Daniel Nikonchik Concept Car For The Year 2050
The BMW Sport Cars M3 features high torque electric motors powered by hydrogen power cells and engine’s only by product is pure H2O. The interior is additionally equipped with advanced features such as digital touch screen displays, moving gauges and controls to more convenient locations. The individual will also have the ability to log onto the companies’ website to download (similar to downloading an app for a smart phone) different interior packages for a small price.
The rear wheel drive vehicle is designed to open like a flower which will add more to the status of the owner while getting out of the vehicle. While getting in the car, it does exactly the opposite. Once the owner is in, vehicle folds back down, then “seals” itself back together.
Thanks, [Daniel Nikonchik]

BMW Sport Cars X9 Concept by Khalfi Oussama
One more concept car unique and daring. This vehicle is BMW X9 Concept Cars, designed by Khalfi Oussama. it could be a proposal for a new Batmobile. BMW has seen some rather odd looking cars roll off the production line over the past 10 years, but Khalfi Oussama’s new X9 off-roader concept coupe takes oddball Beemers to a whole new level. This time the designer of the concept car is a 18-year-old man named Khalfi Tunisian Oussama. With the expectation that the design of the car could replace the car Batman the Dark Knight. Khalfi car design called the "BMW X9".

BMW Sport Cars X9 Concept by Khalfi Oussama
The BMW X9 Concept blends the sporty bodylines of a Sport Cars coupe with the rolling stock of an off-roader – much like BMW’s chunky yet sporty-looking X6 soft-roader. The X9s Sport Cars massive wheels and excessively wide, tyres combined with its colour-matched side-steps and heavy-duty crash plates front and rear definitely showcase the car’s intentions. 
But still had differences with the X9 Sport Cars big wheels and body width tires combined with color combinations that match the sides. On the front is deliberately designed for heavy duty and protected with steel plates and the rear of the increasingly sharpening the mission of the X9 Sport Cars goal was made.


BMW Sport Cars X9 Concept by Khalfi Oussama
The X9 Sport Cars coupe also carries a new interpretation of BMW's signature kidney grille, although Oussama's version is considerably smaller than the current flock of BMWs. The grille sit along side a set of unique twin-headlights, as well as a pair of tiny foglights that are set into the bumper.

BMW 1 Series 5-door
There is no doubt that this new five-door sports-hatch is a BMW finished and through: The elongate wheelbase with a fleeting fore hang, the inferior roof communicating with the typical C-pillar fold and the dimension figurehead end with the "kidney" grate and substitute headlamps springiness the 1 Broadcast a present that stands out in a gathering. The pragmatical birthing opens to discover a inconstant case compartment that offers the utility and passengers 330 to 1150 liters of storage space for even larger items of sports equipment for a variety of leisure activities.
