A Road Test And Review Of The BMW 120i M Sport

A Road Test And Review Of The BMW 120i M Sport
The BMW 1 Series hatchback has been around in 5-door guise since 2004, while the 3-door hatchback was introduced in 2005. It replaced the BMW 3 Series Compact range as BMW's smallest and most affordable vehicle in the range (depending on the engine model) and boasts a number of unique attributes for its class.
For instance, the 1 Series is the only vehicle in its class featuring rear-wheel drive, 50:50 weight balance, a longitudinally-mounted engine and an advanced aluminum multi-link suspension. It is currently one of BMW's best-selling cars and in 2008, accounted for nearly one-fifth of the manufacturers total sales.
With credentials like these, it was with great interest that we took delivery of our first BMW test car here at SACarFan, the 3-door BMW 120i M Sport, to discover what the 1 Series, and indeed the M Sport version, is all about.
By now a familiar face on our roads, the BMW 1 series hatchback certainly raised some eyebrows when it was launched back in 2004, ours included. Things improved with the arrival of the 3-door version, which we can't help but think was the way the baby of the range was always supposed to look. Add the 'M' aerodynamic kit, however, and the look of the car is transformed from a curious looking hatchback to a compelling hot-hatch.
The terribly drab front bumper from the standard model is replaced by one sporting integrated fog lights and a deep, centre aligned air dam, flanked by smaller air intakes on either side. The side skirts are bolder than those fitted to the standard 1 series and feature a bulge that draws one's eye from the front to the rear of the car. The rear bumper receives a dramatic design change, with an inset dark grey diffuser-like section rounding off the more sporty look, along with chromed twin-tailpipes.
Double-spoke 'M' 17-inch alloy wheels, shod in 205/50 profile rubber up front and 225/45 at the rear, fill the wheel arches courtesy of the M Sport suspension, which gives the 120i M Sport a 15 mm lower ride height over the standard model and helps to complete the polished M Sport look.
The sharply defined angles of the outside are continued on the inside of the 120i M Sport and are complimented by softer curves, such as the door handles. The result is a modern, minimalistic and simple cabin that achieves a stylish synergy.
As expected, a comfortable driving position is quickly attainable by adjusting the seat and steering wheel to your desired settings. The driving position of the BMW 1 Series is inherently low to begin with and raising the seat height may result in taller drivers looking through the top of the windscreen. Having said this, you only really notice the low slung driving position when climbing in and out of the car, once you're inside it's a comfortable ride.
The leather covered sports seats may have a lot to do with the comfort factor, as they provide good all round support whether sitting in traffic or relishing your favourite corners. With the majority of head and legroom up front, the 3-door 1-Series does not welcome rear passengers. In fact, passengers up front commented that the legroom was potentially too generous as they had no floor board to push against to support themselves.
Standard interior specifications are as you'd expect from a BMW and include air-conditioning, stereo jack for auxiliary music devices, radio/CD player, driver and passenger front and side airbags, as well as head (curtain) airbags for both front and rear passengers.
Apart from the seats, the M Sport package enhances the interior with aluminum trim on the dashboard and door inlays; leather covered, multifunction sports steering wheel; leather covered hand brake and gearshift lever gaiter; as well as anthracite coloured roof lining.
The interior, and indeed the whole car, gives one the over-riding impression of impeccable build quality. From the tactile interior elements, to the solid thud of the doors, the BMW 1 Series M Sport feels built to last.
With its low-slung driving position, the BMW 1-series hatch immediately feels sporty before even turning the key. The chunky, three-spoke, sports steering wheel provides accurate steering and adequate feedback from the road. The leather clad gearshift lever fits snugly in your hand and with short throws between the gates, provides a sporty, precise and rewarding shift through the 6-speed gearbox, urging you to change at every opportunity.
Once on the move the 120i M Sport certainly grabs the attention of other road users, who no doubt expect to see a 130i badge on the boot. The engine note from the twin-exhausts is one of the best of any in-line four available and when you point the tacho needle skyward the BMW 120i M Sport responds willingly.
The road-holding provided by the 17-inch wheels, with run-flat tyres as standard, and sports suspension is very good - the chassis is firm, offering positive feel and a comfortable ride - as a result the rear-wheel drive 120i M navigates corners with enthusiasm.
The M Sport package does not include performance enhancements for the 2,0-litre engine found in the 120i M. This means power output remains unchanged from that of the standard model, with 115 kW of peak power available at 6 400 rpm and maximum torque of 200 N.m at 3 600 rpm. The 120i M feels slightly underpowered compared to what one may expect, although this expectation is created from the sporty elements of the M Sport package rather than the abilities of the 1995 cc naturally aspirated engine, whose output figures are among the highest in its class.
Stirring the gearbox, as its sporty nature urges you to do, will have the 120i M running along at a respectable pace, regardless of the uphill and down-dale nature of our roads. The naturally aspirated engine revs willingly and sings the more you wind it up. The bottom line is that the 120i M Sport is not a particularly fast car and the 'M Sport' package is more about the look and feel, rather than outright pace. But that's okay, because between the sweet shifting gearbox, throaty roar from the engine, sports seats and steering wheel, balanced chassis and excellent road-holding, the BMW 120i M Sport put a smile on our face every time we drove it.
What we like...
- Superb build quality.
- Much improved looks over those of the standard model.
- A sports package that delivers equal to its value.
What we would like...
- A touch more power to exploit the rear-wheel drive chassis - it's a big jump in price and power to the 130i model.
- In an ideal world - a sacrifice of some front legroom in exchange for more in the rear.

Ford Focus RS Review
According to the boss of Ford's RS (Rallye Sport) department the new Ford Focus RS is "A very serious machine, with the performance, traction and precision to match far more exotic sports cars. The RS badge is not something we take lightly and I believe this car proves it". Strong words, but can Ford's latest hot hatch match the hype?
Ford have done so much to this car in comparison to a standard Focus that it is difficult to know where to start with the modifications. The engine is still a 2.5 liter like previous models but it has a newly designed turbo, a new exhaust, huge brakes and numerous other tweaks which have upped the horsepower on offer to around the three hundred mark. Despite all this extra grunt available, the RS is still front wheel drive, managing to put the power down effectively thanks to a highly advanced new front suspension set-up which Ford claims prevents the car from torque steering. Beyond that the cars aggressive exterior styling sees the Focus adorned with big, deep side skirts, a massive rear diffuser and a somewhat outrageous looking rear spoiler which really makes the new RS look the part.
So how does it drive? For a front-wheel drive car the Focus RS has staggering traction considering the power being put down on the road and it just doesn't seem to suffer from under-steer at all. In a straight line, as you would expect, the Focus manages a pretty rapid 0-60 time of 5.9 seconds and 0-100 in about 14 seconds. In spite of the very leery appearance of the car, handling is actually very well-behaved with the driver remaining in control even when you put your foot down and, coupled with a surprisingly comfortable ride means as well as being a fun toy to throw around at the weekend the RS certainly has enough comfort and practicality to be used as an everyday car.
Whilst fuel consumption and insurance prices are sure to be on the steep side, Ford's list price for this car certainly is not. Coming it at under twenty-five thousand pounds in the UK the car is a real bargain considering the performance on offer. Some might say that is too pricey for a modified Ford Focus but under the hood the RS is certainly much more than that. It has been a long wait for the latest incarnation of the RS and this new arrival certainly does not disappoint.

LOTUS EVORA Modification
Lotus products have always embodied a perfect balance between form and function and the Evora successfully continues this heritage. “We never lost sight of the fact that, although this car must provide real world useability, sportscars are emotional purchases and that you have to seduce the customer through beguiling looks and exotic persona. We are, therefore, very proud that we have been able to use technical and user functionality to positively drive the design in key areas and create some of the car’s most distinctive features”. says Carr.
Ingress and egress, for example, dictated a minimal “step-over” to get into the Evora. We simply cut away the surface under the door and created a unique and dramatic piece of sculpture that enhances the stance of the car as well as its useability.
Elsewhere, aerodynamic considerations for drag, down force and cooling had significant but positive influence on the overall form and details such as air intakes. A desire to create balanced down force, that increases cornering performance, led to the adoption of, the now, “signature” top exit radiator vent, race car inspired diffuser and “floating rear wing”. Drag limitation, drove the dramatic tear-dropped cabin layout and the curvaceous plan view has given the car a more muscular rear shoulder and conveys a level of sophistication appropriate to this market segment.

Understanding How GPS Tracking For Cars Works
The Basics of GPS Tracking :
Right now, as you sit and read this article, there are at least 24 satellites orbiting the earth 11 nautical miles above its surface. They are continuously broadcasting signals that specialized receivers are able to pick up. The data that is transmitted by the satellites is processed by the GPS unit to give the user some type of fix on their own location. The specific items that the receiver is going to need is the place in the sky that the satellite transmitted the data from and when exactly it sent it.
A GPS receiver then processes this data and calculates its distance away from the satellite in question. The device will begin by taking the speed of the signal and multiplying it by the amount of time it took the signal to reach the GPS device. The equation for this looks something like that:
Speed x Time = Distance Traveled
This will tell you just how far away you are from one satellite. However, since the tracker only knows how far away it is from one satellite it cannot tell where it is in the world. One satellite just isn't enough. You really need at least two, but more like three, satellites to be able to get a true picture of where you are on the earth's surface. You might know this principle by the name of trilateration and it is very much like triangulation, except that trilateration is about finding an objects position in three dimensional space while triangulation is about finding an objects location in two dimensional space.
Having calculated its own position, the tracker stores that information on its hard drive and then it does one of two things with that information - keeps it or sends it out. A data logger is what a GPS tracking device for cars is called when it commits the position information to its own internal memory system. This type of device is unable to provide real time GPS tracking. For real time updates you need a data pusher. This device will transmit the information that it processed from the satellites to a central location. Here the data will become available to anyone with access to it - it could be a boss seeking to find the location of a company car or a city employee monitoring worker productivity.
The justifications that some will come up with to use GPS tracking for cars are many and valid. Being a technical whiz is not a requirement if you are trying to use one of these devices. All you need is the money to buy the device and the service. The company that you go with will be able to do the rest. Getting a handle on the company you are going to use is crucial, check them out at the Better Business Bureau or talk to customers of the service. If this type of service is up your alley then you should certainly try GPS tracking for cars.

Solar Powered Cars
Sun emits light, which is known as the solar energy and you may have heard and studied about solar energy will be used for thousands of purposes. This energy must have been used for heating and thermal power stations, run by solar energy and so on. If you read or hear about these things you simply pass on because this is all too common.
When it comes to solar powered cars it is very likely that you stop and think for a while. It is a promising future prospect and you wish you live long enough to see only solar-powered race car through the streets, no pay no more running out of gas, no waiting in line at the gas station for gasoline. Imagine how quickly you could improve your standard of living.
are solar-powered cars since the mid-19th Century have been. They have risen in number from year to organizations and tend to hold solar powered car race, and every year thousands of people to invest their money and bets on solar-powered cars. The mechanism of these cars is very simple. The batteries installed in these light bodied cars charge themselves from the sun. Then this energy, which they converted into electrical energy so that it helps the engine running.
Now this view is very simple, or rather, it sounds very simple and straightforward. The sun shines every day and it seems not such a problem with these cars. But the fact is that the amount of energy saved makes of these cars at a time them to go in a very slow pace. The road will be leveled and not steep because that requires even more energy. There are even more powerful batteries and more memory.
Have you ever noticed that this is the reason why solar powered cars are small, light weighted, and a person can wear at once? There are many technical facts that make the concept of these cars as vague.
Mini Cars
Mini was produced from 1959 until as recently as 2000, when production ceased BMC) British cars cars) because of lagging sales. It seems that most of the buyers cars years have developed a taste for less economic and more a more dynamic design models of foreign competition.
However, it was subsequently sold to BMW in 2001 and production was resumed once again under the name of the new BMW Mini. The recent rise in fuel prices, which sent the price of gasoline soared as much as 5 dollars a gallon in the United States that has brought a new generation of car buyers once again to re-discover this jewel in the crown of the car.
He pointed out that the Mini apart from other small cars such as Volkswagen Beatles that had preceded it, was that the Mini, while being small and economical fuel consumption and in spite of that, and far more extensive than the inside of the car. This was achieved by placing the engine side and extend beyond the wheel base to the edge of the cars.
While the measured dimensions of the mini 10'X4'X4 just 'The objective of the three man design team that created it is that a full 80% of the total area of the cars is the mandate of passengers and their luggage. They actually did not achieve this objective, and therefore the reasons which led to the unique shape clothes nest box.
As designs go, the clothes were quite original background with those being the Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S models. However, over the years of the new design modifications and changes to allow a prostitute is not looking to become Mini mathematical formulas so much. However, it was three victories clothes in the Monte Carlo Rally in the 60s that really caught the eye in the world, with regard to sporting potential.
Although the Mini has landed roles in a number of movies over the years, it was roles in the recent popular comic spy Austin states that perhaps most famous for. Although Austin Powers led the Jaguar, Mini and clear in the number of impressions in many cameo fill the streets in the background.
In recent years, sales of the Mini has chosen to once again even with the help of changes in the new design a few and being equipped with the safety airbag to make it compatible with the standards of British car. Has also been introduced four new models to the public in recent years, as well as slightly modified by the name of the Mini from Mini.
Another factor for the resurgence of the popularity of car buying public is tired of the so-called fuel efficient cars to turn Tom be narrow and lacking in style. Mini but can always be counted on to carry four passengers in all parts of comfort and elegance, while providing excellent fuel consumption and it also sells for a reasonable price.
Smart Financing Tips For Credit and Cars
The best terms and cheaper credit for cars and are usually issued by sub prime lenders, car credit. Most of these bad credit car dealers are familiar with the lenders that the version of the best conditions. The question is when you use the deal to get a private loan without you really do not know what conditions it really is. Let me give you an example:
And can be obtained on the rate of 6%. And then will quote an interest rate of the new car buyers from 7.5%. Many ((push the limits on how far they can push new-car buyers on the basis of information gathered about the motives of buyers. In addition, the lender some of the policies on the amount of increase dealer can charge as well, but the car dealer is the client so that they will not do what they need to stay for competitive reasons.
The best way to deal with this scenario B for the credit act like you do not have the motivation and arranged the loan in another place. He also requested a copy of the paper, provided that shows the actual rate. Tell them in advance that you will only accept a nominal rate on the loan, which gets that way they are not double dipping on the sale of the car. There are 1-2%, in addition to credit auto loan can be a large commission to return to the car dealer.
Tried to ask the dealer to increase the quantity and less well paid. If the car dealer usually makes 500 dollars for the sale of the vehicle typically carry trader earns 400 dollars on cars, but can make it in the Commission on the loans, what a difference. Simply get a response back to auto repair or a good excuse than ever that they can justify, or get a car to lower prices and wages and the high rate. There is no doubt that a simple formula to understand some of the financial return for trade apples and apples. This may be more useful for you depending on the particular scenario by getting creative with financing.
So when shopping around for a car and your credit is not very good, and now you know you can negotiate with a number of ways to finance as a tool. The increase in loans to get cash on the back is a favorite among many car dealers, so be aware of them.

Avion Car : The Most Fuel-Efficient Cars



People who build and drive a car, Craig Henderson, had defeated two previous records, with the same car, several times since 1986. But what makes the difference with today is the use of new technology, including Fuel Max tires Goodyear Assurance that uses advanced technology that makes fuel economy. "Goodyear's Fuel Max tires help provide fuel savings that we want, and this tire has a very good ability on the track wet and dry." Henderson said. "Avion has reached 113 miles per gallon at an average speed of 55-60 miles per hour or about 48 km per liter during the first test. With the volume of daily traffic," Henderson said after ending his journey.
