[h=1]Take a Look at BMW’s Last Naturally Aspirated Engine, in Detail[/h]
With the current air pollution issues and CO2 regulations in place, BMW’s naturally aspirated engines were bound to disappear at one point. Unfortunately, that moment came during our lifetime and we’re now being offered only turbocharged engines that do the job but not in the same way.
Coincidence or not, the last NA engine ever made by BMW was one developed by the Motorsport division, encompassing some of their best work to date. We’re talking, of course, about the S65 units that used to power the M3 models alone.
No other model used it (as is the case with the current S63 unit today) and this exclusive character makes it even more desirable. The last model to be fitted with it was the 2013 E93 M3 Convertible that went out of production last autumn.
Derived from another legendary unit, the S85 5-liter V10 engine from the E60 M5, the 4-liter V8 was capable of revving up to a redline of 8,400 RPM, making a unique sound on the way. As for the power it used to make, it good to remember that there were two variants offered.
In the stock guise, the S65B40 unit used to make 420 HP and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque between 3,900 and 8,300 RPM. However, the S65B44 model had an increased displacement, up to 4.4-liters and made 444 HP and 440 Nm (320 lb-ft) of torque between 3,750 and 8,300 RPM. That unit was only used in the 250 limited edition BMW E92 M3 GTS models.
It’s also interesting to point out that, just like the S65 was replaced by the S55 unit found on the 2015 M3 due to CO2 emission standards, the NA unit was also developed because its predecessor was also incompatible with new regulations. The S54 unit fitted on E46 M3s before it was not compatible with the Euro V and California Air Resource Board (CARB) standards and had to be replaced.
The new one used a double-VANOS variable valve timing system and a 12.0:1 compression ratio and was 15 kg lighter than its predecessor, that had a 3.2-liter displacement and used only 6 cylinders. That’s because of a conventional wet-sump lubrication system with two oil pumps was used instead of the three pump dry sump system of the engine it was based on.
Furthermore, since it raised the bars so high, especially in the sound department, the S55 engine that now follows in its footsteps has a really hard time convincing people it’s just as good, if not even better. In the sound department, you can’t beat a V8 but maybe the track performance and fuel efficiency of the turbocharged version will eventually prevail. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Until then, we prepared a photo gallery of the retired unit that will allow you to study it in detail and even, maybe, change your wallpaper.

[h=1]F30 BMW 3 Series Facelift Coming In Spring 2015[/h]
In 2015, BMW will introduce the facelift of the already highly successful F30 3 Series.
Launched with three new lines: the Sport, Modern, and Luxury line, BMW has created a 3 Series for all. The Luxury line is particularly well suited to the daily driver who values comfort over sport. While previous 3 Series renditions delivered far more sport than luxury, the creation of a luxury line solves this problem for those in the market interested in buying a less sporty 3 Series.
The fresh looking 3 Series Sedan might go through a mild design refresh. Our sources say that most of the exterior changes will be related to the front bumper and kidney grille, as well as to the rear bumper. BMW will also offer LED headlights as an option for the 3 Series.
10 Most Improved Car Redesigns: F30 BMW 3 Series amongst them
Inside, the trim and colors will get a small refresh, and the iDrive Touch Controller. No significant interior changes are expected.
The new B4x engines replaces the N4x family and like its predecessor is a four cylinder in-line, common rail injection, 1,995 cc displacement with a single turbocharger
with variable turbine geometry.
While the N47 in the 318d and 320d models made 143 and 184, the new B47 provides 150 and 190 bhp. The maximum torque for the based B47 remains at 360 Newton meters, but it is now available between 1500-2250 rpm (previously 1750-2500). With the more powerful stage, the maximum torque climbs from 380 to 400 Newton meters between 1750-2250 rpm (previously 380 Nm 1750-2750 rpm).
A three cylinder F30 3 Series is also said to be planned, but no greenlight has been given so far.
The facelifted F30 3 Series is likely to debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.

BMW Série 8 celebra 25 anos | Razão Automóvel
A BMW assinala este ano, os 25 anos do BMW Série 8. Um modelo que fruto do seu design e sofisticação, foi porta bandeira da marca alemã durante muitos anos. Um sucessor precisa-se!
Um autêntico «gentlemen car» onde o luxo se mistura com a desportividade de forma harmoniosa, sem conflitos. Um verdadeiro Grande Turismo alemão, pleno de potência, conforto e sofisticação. Assim era, resumidamente o BMW Série 8, um dos mais aclamados modelos da casa Munique na década de 90.
No total, segundo a BMW, foram produzido 30.621 exemplares do BMW Série de 1989 a 1999 – ano em que deixou de ser produzido. E para assinalar este marco histórico, a BMW juntou em Welt cerca de 120 exemplares, local emblemático para os amantes da marca Bávara.
Todos os participantes vieram ao volante das suas preciosidades, apreciando todas as curvas, embora a maior parte tenha é claro optado pelas Autobahn. Mas é sempre bom frisar que cada um dos exemplares fez mais de 1800Km sendo que alguns – de países mais distante – cobriram mais de 2500Km. Respeito.
E como estamos a comemorar os 25 anos de um grande automóvel, aproveitamos para recordar a sua história. Foi em 1989, durante o Salão Automóvel de Frankfurt que a BMW apresentou o Série 8. Foi a partilhar a luzes da ribalta com o aclamado BMW E30 M3 que o Série 8 se estreou. As linhas direitas e agressivas davam a este modelo uma presença absolutamente extraordinária, conseguindo ofuscar grande parte dos desportivos da época.
A versão mais potente era a 850 CSI (de 1993), que contava com um motor V12 de 5.6 litros e que debita 381cv de potência e 550Nm de binário máximo. Os 0-100km/h cumpriam-se em menos de 6 segundos. Um modelo que contava já em 1989 com o sistema «Integral Active Steering» que consoante a posição do volante e a velocidade, virava ligeiramente as rodas traseiras de modo a melhorar o desempenho em curva.Estavam também disponíveis equipamentos de série como duplo airbag, fecho centralizado, controlo de estabilidade e o «Adaptive Control» (opcional).Para além do 850 CSi, existiam outras versões, nomeadamente o BMW 850 Ci, equipado com um motor 5.4 litros V12 com 326cv e caixa automática de 5 relações. E ainda, o BMW 840 Ci equipado com um motor 4.0 litros V8 de 286cv, que era a versão de acesso à gama. Recordamos que em cada três Série 8 produzidos, dois estavam equipados com o motor V12. Outros tempos…Por agora resta-nos relembrar o passado, com esperança que num futuro próximo a BMW volte a produzir este modelo tão marcante.
