BMW NOMENCLATURE

BMW vehicles follow a certain nomenclature, a 3 digit number followed by 1 or 2 letters. The first number represents the series number while the next two numbers originally represents the engine displacement in cubic centimetres divided by 100; but in recently cars use the two numbers as a performance index.
A = automatic transmission
C = coupé, last used on the BMW E46 and the BMW E63 (dropped after 2005 model year)
c = cabriolet
d = diesel†
e = eta (efficient economy, from the Greek letter 'η')
g = compressed natural gas/CNG
h = hydrogen
i = fuel-injected
L = long wheelbase
s = sport, also means "2 dr" on E36 model††
sDrive = rear-wheel drive
T = touring (wagon/estate)
Ti = hatchback for the BMW 3 Series hatchback
x / xDrive = BMW xDrive all-wheel drive

† historic nomenclature indicating "td" refers to "Turbo Diesel", not a diesel hatchback or touring model (524td, 525td)
†† typically includes sport seats, spoiler, aerodynamic body kit, upgraded wheels and Limit Slip Differential on pre-95 model etc.

Exceptions

There are exceptions to the numbering nomenclature.[40]
The M version of the BMW 1 Series was named the BMW 1 Series M Coupe rather than the traditional style "M1" due to the possible confusion with BMW's former BMW M1 homologation sports car.
The M versions of the Sports Activity Vehicles, such as the X5 M, could not follow the regular naming convention since MX5 was used for Mazda's MX-5 Miata.
For instance in the 2008 model year, the BMW 125i/128i, 328i, and 528i all had 3.0 naturally aspirated engines (N52), not a 2,500 cc or 2,800 cc engine as the series designation number would lead one to believe. The '28' is to denote a detuned engine in the 2008 cars, compared to the 2006 model year '30' vehicles (330i and 530i) whose 3.0 naturally aspirated engines are from the same N52 family but had more output.
The 2008 BMW 335i and 535i also have 3.0-litre engine; however the engines are twin-turbocharged (N54) which is not identified by the nomenclature. Nonetheless the '35' indicates a more powerful engine than previous '30' models that have the naturally aspirated N52 engine. The 2011 BMW 740i and 335is shares the same twin-turbo 3.0 engine from the N54 family but tuned to higher outputs, although the badging is not consistent ('40' and 's'). The 2013 BMW 640i Gran Coupe's twin-scroll single turbo 3.0L inline-6 engine makes similar output to the older twin turbo inline-6 engines.[41]
The E36 and E46 323i and E39 523i had 2.5-litre engines. The E36 318i made after 1996 has a 1.9 L engine (M44) as opposed to the 1.8 L (M42) used in the 1992 to 1995 models. The E39 540i had a 4.4 L M62 engine, instead of a 4.0 L as the designation would suggest.
The badging for recent V8 engines (N62 and N63) also does not indicate displacement, as the 2006 750i and 2009 750i have 4800 cc (naturally aspirated) and 4400 cc (twin-turbocharged) engines, respectively.

April Fools

BMW has garnered a reputation over the years for its April Fools pranks, which are printed in the British press every year. In 2010, they ran an advert announcing that customers would be able to order BMWs with different coloured badges to show their affiliation with the political party they supported.

FUEL CELL VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY

FCVs are powered by fuel cells, which generate electricity from hydrogen, which is environmentally friendly and highly energy- efficient, and also can be produced using a variety of readily available raw materials. These characteristics are ideal for achieving sustainable mobility.
Toyota Company is striving to make this technology available as soon as possible.

Toyota Fuel Cell Vehicle

 TOYOTA FUEL CELL VEHICLE CONCEPT

The Toyota Company plans to launch the idea of Fuel Cell Vehicle somewhere 2015 as an innovator in the evolution of the hydrogen-powered vehicles.
The vehicle's exterior has two key characteristics of a fuel cell vehicle; the changing of air into water as the system produces electricity, and the powerful acceleration enabled by the electric drive motor. The front view has air intakes  while the side view conveys the air- to- water transformation with its flowing- liquid door profile and water- motif fuel cap. The rear view shows a catamaran's stern and the flow of water behind.
The vehicle can cover at least 500km and is refuelled as low as three minutes. It has power output density of 3kW/L and an output of at least 100kW. It is furnished with Toyota's high efficiency boost converter, this increase in voltage has enabled the reduction in size and the number of fuel cells, leading to a smaller system offering enhanced performance at reduced cost.
Toyota Fuel Vehicle Concept: length 4870 mm, width 1810 mm, height 1535 mm, wheelbase 2780 mm and seating 4.

Subaru Tribeca Interior

Tribeca has one valuable asset; it rides and handles really well with better steering than most vehicles of this type. It is great for winter snowstorms, with its 8.4 inches of ground clearance and standard 4WD.
It is ideal for growing families because it has enough room.

What You Should Do Before Buying a Used Car

Are you excited that finally you are going to own a car? Well, after countless days of sacrifices you've finally saved enough to buy the not-so-gently used car of your dreams. You see yourself slipping into that exquisite chunk of metal right now. But before getting too lost in this fantasy, take a deep breath and check out these few things that will ensure your used car is actually as good as you want it to be.

Know Your Needs

Having a clear idea of what kind of car you're looking for and the features you need in a vehicle before you head to a lot can save you thousands and prevent you from winding up with a bigger, gas-guzzling luxury ride when you really just need something to get to class and back

Shop, Shop

Make wide consultation and extensive window shopping to ensure you settle for the best.

Be Clear On your Budget

Before doing anything take a peek at your bank account before looking at available cars. Gas. Insurance. Maintenance. Cleaning. And oh, those fender benders… Texting while driving is just way expensive. Before stepping foot on a dealer's lot, make absolutely sure that you know exactly how much you can pay for a car and whether you can afford the other expenses that tag along.

Test It

Test driving is important, feel how the car feels on the road. Ask the seller about the car's history, fuel coverage, anti-theft features, whether it comes with a warranty, what type of oil it takes, whether they have the vehicle's service records and the car's logbook. Also ensure that the car is in good shape. 

Negotiate

The key to successful negotiation is to start low. If the seller snaps up your offer immediately, you've paid too much.

That price that sounds so tasty your mouth is actually salivating? That's probably not the final amount you'll render.In addition you could pay for documentation, licensing among other things.

Legalize it

Make the process legal, including transferring the title into your name, registering the vehicle and paying the necessary tax.
