2013 BMW M7 on the cards

The 2013 BMW M7 will come with rear wheel drive or all-wheel drive options.

Although the new 7 Series gets cosmetic changes and new engines, a new 2013 BMW M7 is in the offerings too. For those who can't seem to get enough from the likes of Audi S8, AMG version of the popular Mercedes S-Class or even BMW's own 760Li  riding on a V12 engine (which at best is only fast in a straight line), the 2013 BMW M7  may offer a fresh breath of air.

BMW has gone as far as registering the M7 badge as a trademark, which seems to be contradictory to popular belief that the BMW 7-Series is too much of a luxury car to wear a full M badge.

The 2013 BMW M7, akin to M division traits, will not be radically different visually. A 4.4 liter V8 with twin turbo chargers sits lurks under the bonnet, waiting to be unleashed. Propulsion will come from rear set of wheels. A four wheel drive version will be optional.

No word on how hard this will hit your wallet has been put out as yet. Stay tuned to AutoMiddleEast.com for more.

Word also goes that a hybrid 7 Series may also be coming soon. Powered by a combination of a turbo charged four cylinder N20B20 motor and an electric motor, the hybrid powertrain will produce power in excess of 245 horsepower. The hybrid car will be environmentally friendly with much lower emission levels.

BMW X3 xDrive35i 2012

The outgoing BMW X3 had a rather long shelf life that started in 2003 and went on all the way till 2010. That's a rather long time for any single platform to remain on sale. The current version was introduced in 2010 and received minor upgrades for 2012. It follows the original design brief and is not a big departure from the introductory model in terms of appearance. It has redesigned headlights and a larger kidney grille with the fog lamps placed right below the headlights. However, the rear looks nothing like the older version with its completely new taillights and fender. The C pillar is now more angular than
before and the rear windscreen also appears to have shrunk in size.
The beige and faux-wood interior with leather seats feel upmarket with fit and finish being of the highest order. The interior of any BMW feels like it will last a lifetime and the X3 is no different. Every switch, dial and knob you touch has a quality feel to it with little or no room left to complain. BMW has long list of optional extras that include a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a panoramic sunroof, electronic seats with memory functions, heads up display and BMW assist to name a few.
The 2012 BMW X3 xDrive35i is also one of the safest cars in it’s segment. With a five star Euro NCAP safety rating, the X3 has the potential to take on the perceived safety of full sized SUVs that is prevalent with buyers in this market. It comes with six airbags as standard on all variants along with ABS, traction control, cornering brake control, rain brake support, fading compensation and hill-start assist.
