Audi V10 R8

Audi V10 R8 Of course you want to know just who on earth goes out and buys a over $ 100,000 supercar in the midst of a recession. I also wonder, as the 518bhp Audi V10 rises after its peak power at 8,500 rpm and deliver. I clack the paddle wheel for the third gear in the coming weeks and look angular velocity wet for me.

Audi V10 R8
“Oh, the bankers, the city types, celebrities, the usual suspects,” said a PR Audi when I put the question a few months ago. Anyone with the means, frankly. Mostly men aged 48-50, with a lot of money and some other cars, according to the synopsis of Audi. They love skiing, golf, sailing and cycling.

People who can afford to spend thousands customize your R8s, that’s who. Audi Buyers same cost of 500 pounds for the privilege of taking the car factory in Neckarsulm, Germany.

They are something of an endangered species these days, of course, although Audi says more than 960 deposits for this car in the UK, with deliveries starting next year. But the Audi is not recession, as others do. Last year, it sold a record number of cars and hopes that in 2009, its centennial. If Rupert Stadler, chief executive of Audi, was asked how his company was preparing for the collapse last fall, he replied: “We have heard, so we had a board meeting and thoroughly discussed and decided not to participate. ”

Out on a Pass Rhonda in southern Spain has R8 bravely dealing with the ball ting rain. Why do not you? Four-wheel drive, fat tires and traction systems and electronic stability control of such plant 1.6 ton beast in the middle of the road as if painted on the surface.

Audi R8 We did this car already? Let me recap. Budget supercar from Audi was launched with a V8 engine of the RS4 sedan example, two years ago. Although similar to the Lamborghini Gallardo in the configuration (mid-mounted engine, Space Frame extruded aluminum), the Audi is a different car, based on the Le Mans concept, shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2003, which also happened to have a Audi V10 engine. The phenomenal success, selling 450 in 2007, during the first year on sale in the UK and 836 behind. This is a new and additional versions, with the same engine of 5.2 liter V10 engine as the Gallardo (Lamborghini belongs to Audi), but different ignition and fuel mapping.

It is wet on the electromagnetic dampers are connected to its pin down, or the gearbox in sport. With the roads so slippery, you smoothly through corners and ring with the big checks.

It is in contrast to the weight of the car on the first climb in. The disk dump the tires, the motor racing against the clutch and the brakes feel reassuring than captivating. Head into the dual carriageway outside the hotel, and the R tronic automatic box, simply browse through the rain, you get to see what all the fuss is about.

The R8 swishes stylish yet subtle way through the center of Marbella. Under 2000 rpm the engine only murmurs and provoked a transmission stumps unnecessarily switching or external engine roars and blips. This is the R8 stealth mode, silently sailing on Spanish roads, there is no attention to itself.

It gives you the opportunity to admire the beautiful countryside, and, starting with the places that are comfortable and elegant standard form, with the complete alignment and good lateral support. You can blow £ 1565 in some places running Nappa leather and find your shoulders forward so uncomfortable that you can not reach the gearshift. You can also splurge £ 435 on the Audi exclusive window trim, or £ 1575 for the entire boat line in Alcantara suede false. The option price is scary and that is before the ceramic brakes £ 6995, £ 1270 piano-black finish inlays or side plates 1470 pounds of carbon – the panels ugly afterthought behind the doors.

That stand in your book is a nice car, roomy cabin, decorated with great care and skill, with a reasonable amount of luggage space behind the seats and a large boat under the hood. Progress Audi V10 receives £ 10,000 worth of bits that are only options in V8.

The devices use the same fonts and styles as Audi smaller, but because they are so easy to get, why change? Ditto borrowed switching equipment, which makes the job so well, that would be rude to complain. So let’s be rude. The backlight darker panel comes from the Audi TT, which are also half rheostat to adjust the headlights. Since the R8 has adjustable LED or Xenon headlamps, a key part is stripped out with an ugly piece of plastic. One wonders if this would have happened if Dr. Ferdinand Piech still runs the company. With the manual version, there is a shift between the separate natural leg of the driver and the clutch pedal, which can be uncomfortable for larger drivers.

Around 3000 rpm the engine up. Opening the exhaust valves on twitter and drown the engine of his mustache. The 4000 rpm, the exhaust are sounding the load and torque burns almost perfect road car. The Bobs and weaves chassis and steering previously dull start to prove their worth. Super accurate, it seems that this is directly connected to the windshield, so any small movement of the wheel moves the picturesque view left or right. The standard wheel rim is a fine precision instrument, helped of course by mid-engine layout. By keeping the masses in the vicinity of the center, the Audi V10 R8 is rapidly changing direction, which is partly why race cars use the same configuration.

But high-performance mid-engined cars are suitable for the driver the impression that he was tied to the nose of a huge rocket invented by a mad genius. These cars have a reputation for throwing himself living back off the road. In this context, the R8 telegraph their intentions and unexpected brake handles better than most. He leans over the front tire out gently at first, but more difficult if you ignore the warning signs. However, when we turned a corner in a fair lick wet and found the road was full of snow, the cabin filled with some of the best words. I would like to say that I have the R8-caught in a slide of elegance and daring breathtaking. Not me. Caught, and that is exactly what not to do under the circumstances, and the fine chassis dynamics to control the stability of the R8’s magic and electronics prevented us persist, Thelma and Louise style, from the edge of a cliff.

The brakes, which received much criticism in the V8 model, the feeling that they are very spongy at first, but heavy use bright, powerful and easy to modulate, without activating the anti-lock system. The only complaint is that the pedal is mounted too high.

In almost all speeds, there is a strange feeling that the back of the car does all the work. The smooth ride seems to be full of the rear wheel, almost as if the fronts of a very different piece to run on asphalt was found. For the record, this is one of the few super cars I ever drove could cope with the sleep police, even pot holes and washboard ripples. The electronically adjustable dampers can be frozen, if you want your marble or a plan to attack one type of loose track, but in normal mode you can cover huge mileages in the Audi with few adverse effects. Well, you can as long as you spice up your right foot with a tank of 19.8 liters of the Audi has a nominal range of approximately 400 miles (643 km) – they are there and you will complete all 250 miles (402 km ) or worse.

Another wet 50 miles (80 km) in a sister car enough to confirm the R8 manual is an entirely different character, mainly because of what you can do with the right foot. Clicks change the gate with an action, nice, highly evolved infinite torque motor, the tires, but a range of products of cremation in all art forms. This makes a very nice, but even with all security enabled, the R8 manual wagging his tail like an eager spaniel in the wet. If you think you will enjoy it, then this is the car for you.

So now that I think will buy the V10 supercar engine? After long and arduous conducted throughout the day, the best answer I can give to someone who appreciates what is probably the highlight of the results of today’s engineering of the engine. Audi says that some of its customers waiting for the road test before committing to this new version of the R8. Well, go ahead is your lucky golf, skiing, 48-year olds. Fast, stable, beautiful, rare and desirable, the Audi V10 R8 really good. I just wish I was your number.

Honda Civic and Honda Civic vtec

The Honda Civic is a line of compact cars developed and manufactured by Honda. In North America, the Civic is the second-longest continuously-running nameplate from a Japanese manufacturer; only the Toyota Corolla, introduced in 1968, has been in production longer. The Civic, along with the Accord and Prelude, comprised Honda’s vehicles sold in North America until the 1990s, when the model lineup was expanded. Having gone through several generational changes, the Civic has become larger and more upmarket, and it currently slots between the Fit and Accord.

It was introduced in July 1972 as a two-door coupe, followed by a three-door hatchback that September. With the transverse engine mounting of its 1169 cc engine and front-wheel drive like the British Mini, the car provided good interior space despite overall small dimensions. Early models of the Civic were typically outfitted with a basic AM radio, heater, foam-cushioned plastic trim, two-speed wipers and painted steel rims with a chromed wheel nut cap. As the years went by, it has become much more upscale with options such as air conditioning, power locks, and power windows, leather upholstery, satellite-linked navigation, and a six-speed manual transmission. Initially gaining a reputation for being fuel-efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly, later iterations have become well-known for performance and sportiness, especially the Civic Type-R and Civic Si.
The Civic has been rebadged for international markets with such models as the Honda Ballade and Honda Domani/Acura EL. The Civic platform also served as the basis for the CR-X sport compact, the CR-X del Sol targa convertible, and the CR-V compact SUV.

As of 2008, the Civic has been the top-selling car in Canada for eleven straight years. With high gas prices and a weak economy in June 2008, the Civic supplanted the Ford F-Series to become the top-selling vehicle in the United States for that month.

BMW x6 M

The BMW x6 M is a high-performance variant of BMW’s controversial head-turning crossover. Unveiled at the New York Auto Show in 2009, the X6 M uses a potent version of BMW’s twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8. Output is pegged at 555 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and peak torque is 501 pound-feet, available between 1,500 and 5,650 rpm. The car can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, according to the automaker.

Porsche Cayenne
The hotrod SUV, which goes head-to-head with Porsche Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S is priced from $88,900, making the M $9,000 cheaper than the Turbo — which is likely the intended competitor — and $35,000 less than the Turbo S, which has a similar horsepower rating.

BMW x6 M
The BMW x6 M and BMW X5 M are the first xDrive all-wheel-drive vehicles from BMW to sport the “M” badge. Coupled with special “M” air suspension featuring Adaptive Drive and the newly developed Servotronic power steering, the performance ‘ute promises very competent handling. Other high-tech features include launch control for maximum acceleration and an “M” six-speed automatic optimized for performance. Drivers can manually select gears using either paddles or an an electronic gear selector lever.

BMW x6 M
Electronically controlled, variable power distribution to the front and rear axle prevents even the slightest tendency to over- or understeer right from the start, before DSC Dynamic Stability Control is even required to cut in.

BMW x5 M
BMW is referring to the new 4.4-liter motor as its “M TwinPower Turbo” unit. The name reflects the fact that the motor features Twin Scroll Twin Turbo Technology and a common exhaust manifold encompassing both rows of cylinders.

Although traction control is standard, the M Dynamic Mode (MDM) greatly reduces the aggressiveness of the system. The MDM setting allows the driver to enter a controlled drift and push the vehicle’s handling to the limit. There’s also a DSC-Off Mode for drivers seeking a more purist experience.

2010 BMW X5 M

2010 BMW X5 M
The all-new X5M crossover will make its world premiere at New York Auto Show 2009. The model is powered by the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that delivers 555-horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 500 lb-ft of torque from 1500 to 5,650 rpm – however, note that these are the U.S. market models’ specifications.

BMW X5
That very engine will allow you to take all the xDrive all-wheel-drive goodness from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. Not to mention, that’s faster than the BMW M3 Coupe which BMW says goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds.
2010 BMW X5 M
BMW X5 M

Now the discerning customer has the opportunity to enjoy the unique high-performance character of a BMW M car also in the segment of BMW X models: The BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M are the first all-wheel-drive models to offer the supreme performance, dynamic driving features, athletic design, and premium quality of a typical BMW M Car.

Both models are powered by a newly developed V8 high-performance engine delivering 408 kW/555 hp at an engine speed range between of 6,000 rpm from an engine capacity of 4,395 cc. The new M TwinPower Turbo engine is indeed the world’s first power unit with a common exhaust manifold encompassing both rows of cylinders and featuring Twin Scroll Twin Turbo Technology.

BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system is naturally geared to the specific power and performance characteristics of the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M, just like Dynamic Performance Control also standard on both models. Interacting with the cars’ special M suspension including Adaptive Drive and the newly developed Servotronic power steering, this ensures the driving behaviour so characteristic of a BMW M Car, combining unique driving stability with precisely controlled steering qualities all the way to the highest level of driving dynamics.

The BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M set new standards in this segment of high-performance models in terms of acceleration, lateral dynamics, steering behaviour, stopping power, and efficiency. Both models accelerate to 100 km/h from a standstill in 4.7 seconds and stand out not only through the truly impressive delivery of power by the V8 turbo engine providing maximum torque of 680 Newton-metres or 501 lb-ft in the broad speed range between 1,500 and 5, 650 rpm, but also through the likewise smooth and consistent build-up of lateral forces meeting the highest requirements and the most dynamic level of performance in bends.

The exclusive character of both the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M results to a large extent from a level of driving performance never seen before even in this particular segment. Both models offer the ultimate in their segment in every respect, providing performance and dynamic driving reserves quite unique versus the competition and ensuring an experience of unlimited supremacy in everyday traffic.

Design: features typical of BMW M for supreme dynamics and exclusivity.

The truly outstanding potential of both models comes out clearly in their looks and design, their joint DNA borne out by supreme performance on the road presented convincingly by the common design of the front end with its large air intakes.

The engine compartment lid, the front air dam and the headlight graphics carried over from the BMW X6 are identical in both cases. The proportions of the two cars, on the other hand, clearly differ through the variability of the BMW X5 M Sports Activity Vehicle as opposed to the dynamic qualities of the BMW X6 M Sports Activity Coupé.

Both the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M feature special gill intakes in the front side panels tailored to each model as well as individually designed 20-inch light-alloy rims.

The signs of distinction so typical of BMW M are likewise presented in individual style at the rear, in both cases confirming the outstanding dynamism of each model: The rear air dam on the BMW X6 M demonstrates particularly powerful presence, while the two dual tailpipes in the exhaust system surrounded in both cases by the rear air dam are again typical of BMW’s M philosophy.

Compared with the “regular” BMW X5 and the BMW X6, the share of black plastic surfaces around the lower section of the body is reduced on both new models, giving even greater emphasis to the road going-orientation of the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M. Particularly the body elements fulfilling major functions in terms of aerodynamics and the flow of cooling air are clearly accentuated on both models.

Beyond these common features, both of these all-wheel-drive high-performance sports cars stand out clearly as unique models in their own right: The BMW X5 M clearly boasts its superior power and exclusivity at very first sight, while the BMW X6 M, in its unique design, alludes to fascinating driving dynamics and the car’s athletic charisma.

The M TwinPower Turbo: Twin Scroll Twin Turbo Technology with a joint exhaust manifold for both rows of cylinders making its debut in the market.

Power and performance typical of BMW M is delivered by the power unit in both the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M by a new design and construction principle: The new M TwinPower Turbo with Twin Scroll Twin Turbo Technology and the exhaust manifold extending over both rows of cylinders patented by BMW offer absolutely extreme response and spontaneity, a linear build-up of engine power, and an unusually consistent torque curve.

The two turbochargers are positioned together with the catalytic converters in the V-section between the two rows of cylinders. The position of the intake and exhaust ducts provided in this way serves to reduce the length of the pipes and manifolds and increase their cross-section, with pressure losses on the exhaust side being significantly minimised in the process.

The joint flow of exhaust gas provided by the common manifold system connecting two cylinders at a time also ensures optimum gas throughput. The separation of exhaust flow is continued until the exhaust gas reaches the turbine wheel, building up ongoing pressure on the two Twin Scroll Turbochargers not impaired by any kind of counter-pressure.

With maximum charge pressure amounting to 1.5 bar, the use of Twin Scroll Twin Turbo Technology with its inter-cylinder exhaust manifold makes unique use of the turbocharging potential.

Immediate, direct response to the gas pedal and truly exceptional pulling force from the engine starting at low speeds and continuing consistently to the highest load level characterise the new M TwinPower Turbo from BMW M GmbH. The truly impressive development of power ensured in this way is accompanied by fascinating engine sound accentuating the fast-revving engine characteristics and the linear build-up of power by a supreme acoustic effect typical of a BMW M Car.

Reflecting the superior power of the engine, the V8 power unit comes with a cooling system developed specifically for the two new models. One special feature in this context is the indirect intercooling effect serving to optimise performance under particularly dynamic driving conditions.

The new M TwinPower Turbo develops its outstanding output and performance with equally outstanding efficiency. In addition to direct ¬High Precision Injection, both the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M are equipped with a wide range of technologies from BMW ¬EfficientDynamics. Apart from Brake Energy Regeneration, these also include on-demand control of the electrical fuel pump, a detectable a/c compressor, as well as a volume flow-controlled supply of hydraulic fluid to the anti-roll system also operating specifically on demand.

Both models offer average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle of 13.9 litres/ 100 kilometres, equal to 20.3 mpg imp. Their CO2 rating is 325 grams per kilometre. And last but not least, the engine naturally fulfils all the requirements of the US LEV II standard as well as the EU5 requirements in Europe .

M Sports Automatic with electronic gear selector lever and shift paddles on the steering wheel.

Featured for the first time on a BMW M Model, the six-speed automatic transmission enhances the high-performance character of the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M through its spontaneous gearshift, direct connection to the engine, and the high standard of shift comfort. The new M Sports Automatic is controlled by an electronic gear selector lever on the centre console and offers the driver not only the D Mode, but also an S and M Mode for an even more sporting gearshift.

Aluminium gearshift paddles on the steering wheel exclusive to BMW M allow a manual gearshift significantly shortening gearshift times by the new technology reducing torque in the transmission through the deactivation of individual cylinders.

This significantly enhances the sporting character of the car, the gear in mesh being held in position in the M Mode up to maximum engine speed in order to give the driver optimum control of his vehicle also under the most dynamic driving conditions. In other words, the transmission does not shift up automatically at a certain engine speed in this mode.

A further option in the M Mode is to activate the Launch Control function enabling the driver to accelerate from a standstill with maximum performance: With the driver pressing the gas pedal fully down, M Sports Automatic shifts gears automatically at the ideal point and with optimum wheel spin control. An aluminium oil sump again exclusive to BMW M with a special finned or ribbed structure on the surface guarantees optimum cooling at all times even with an extremely sporting style of motoring.

BMW xDrive and Dynamic Performance Control with a special set-up for optimum dynamics.

The outstanding success of BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive technology is based on the fact that the system not only improves traction on rough terrain, but also enhances driving dynamics on the road. Electronically controlled, variable power distribution to the front and rear axle prevents even the slightest tendency to over- or understeer right from the start, before DSC Dynamic Stability Control is even required to cut in.

Dynamic Performance Control presented for the first time in the BMW X6 and now featured also in the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M enhances driving stability in demanding situations. Variable distribution of drive power between the right and left rear wheel significantly improves steering precision and tracking stability at all speeds, with DSC being required to stabilise the vehicle only under high lateral acceleration.

Ultimately this offers the driver an unparalleled standard of dynamic performance, agility and traction re-defining all existing benchmarks in drivetrain and suspension technology.

In the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M the potentials of both systems are again used in that special style of BMW M, with the driver able to activate the M Dynamic Mode (MDM) by means of the DSC button on the centre console. This mode raises the DSC control thresholds for intervention in the brakes and the reduction of engine power and ensures the steering behaviour typical of BMW M by shifting the xDrive control features more to the rear wheels and interacting with Dynamic Performance Control in the process.

As a result, MDM allows maximum speeds in bends and on winding roads with the system cutting in very late when the vehicle reaches the absolute limit. Even under maximum load in the apex of a bend, therefore, the vehicle follows the steering with utmost precision, giving the driver very high speed when leaving the bend in the interest of optimum performance. And last but not least, the DSC-Off Mode may be activated at the touch of a button.

Special M suspension with Adaptive Drive featured as standard.

The suspension developed specifically for the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M with its double-track control arm front axle and Integral IV rear axle offers M-specific elastokinematics thanks to stiffer track control arm mounts and hydraulic tiebar mounts at the front as well as stiffer axle support mounts at the rear.

Both models come as standard with air suspension featuring self-levelling on the rear axle as well as Adaptive Drive with electronically controlled dampers (EDC) and active anti-roll stability. The special version of Adaptive Drive tailored to the requirements of BMW M also serves to lower the entire vehicle by 10 millimetres or 0.39″ versus the “regular” BMW X5 and BMW X6 and incor¬porates stiffer carrier springs, modified auxiliary springs, three-way support mounts and damper control with reinforced connection to the body.

The special Servotronic steering developed for the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M provides individual steering assistance geared to the actual road speed of the vehicle. This allows comfortable parking manoeuvres with lower operating forces as well as exact feedback and a high standard of steering precision at higher speeds.

The degree of power assistance is defined by two control maps. Apart from the standard configuration, the driver is able, through the EDC and, respectively, the M Drive button, to call up the Sports Mode activating an uncompromisingly sporting control map with higher control forces for particularly dynamic driving conditions.

Changing from the Normal to the Sports Mode, the system alters not only the Servotronic control map, but also the damper setting, with the connection of the dampers to the body of the vehicle being significantly reinforced in the Sports Mode. In conjunction with anti-roll stability this allows an exceptionally high standard of linear lateral forces in dynamic bends and on fast, winding roads.

The high-performance brake system guarantees supreme stopping power and high resistance to fading under all conditions. The brakes come with four-piston fixed callipers at the front and swing callipers at the rear, combined in each case with inner-vented lightweight brake discs.

The BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M are the only vehicles in their segment to come as standard with different-sized tyres front and rear, running in each case on 20-inch light-alloy rims. The choice of 275/40 R 20 tyres at the front and 315/35 R 20 tyres at the rear is a further result of the special set-up characteristic of both models, with the emphasis on rear-wheel power. The choice of this combination of tyre sizes ideal in terms of driving dynamics promotes both the exceptionally good transmission of power to the rear axle and the precise, exactly dosed steering behaviour of both models.

Dynamic performance according to the driver’s personal choice and available at the touch of a button: the M Drive button on the steering wheel.

Apart from the DSC Mode and the specific set-up of both the dampers and the steering, the driver is also able to configure the set-up of the drivetrain on the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M according to his personal requirements. Activating the Power Mode which influences both engine and transmission control, the driver has the choice of both the Sports and Efficiency driving programs.

The Sports program allows precise dosage of engine power also under the most dynamic driving conditions specifically through the linear build-up of the power delivered.

The Efficiency program, in turn, shifts up gears at an early point in time not only to significantly reduce fuel consumption under practical driving conditions, but also to allow a relaxed style of motoring using the supreme torque and pulling force of the engine available from low engine speeds. The result, therefore, is an ideal combination of efficient motoring and supreme driving qualities.

In the M Drive menu the driver is able to pre-configure both the Power Mode and the set-up of DSC and EDC, the combination of settings chosen providing the set-up preferred by the driver under all conditions. The driver is even able to save his favourite set-up and subsequently retrieve it at any time simply by pressing the M Drive button on the steering wheel.

The M Drive menu is yet another specific M feature supplementing the vehicle, infotainment, navigation, air conditioning and communication functions already controlled by BMW iDrive. Both the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M are equipped with the latest generation of iDrive and come as an option with a Head-Up Display again specific to BMW M. Indeed, this function even enables the driver to vary the type and scope of the data projected on to the windscreen in accordance with the M Drive menu.

M-specific cockpit and sophisticated driver assistance systems for even greater supremacy at the wheel.

The philosophy so typical of BMW M naturally continues into the design and configuration of the driver’s “workplace”: Both of these all-wheel-drive high-performance sports cars come with a special M cockpit with the instrument cluster featuring a variable pre-warning field in the rev counter, specific vehicle function displays, and white display illumination. And both the BMW X5 M as well as the BMW X6 M boast M seats and an M leather steering wheel.

The driver’s superior style of motoring is enhanced additionally by innovative driver assistance systems, both models fitted as standard with cruise control incorporating its own brake function. The wide range of optional features, in turn, includes Adaptive Headlights and a High-Beam Assistant.

Supplementing BMW Park Distance Control naturally featured as standard, there is also an optional back-up camera including its own very special Top View function.

“BMW X5 M”
The wide range of standard features includes electrical seat adjustment complete with a memory function and seat heating at the front, two-zone automatic air conditioning, extended Merino leather, a HiFi audio system with 12 loudspeakers and 230 Watt amplifier output, M entry trim, an M footrest, interior trim in brushed Aluminium Shadow on both models as well as a BMW Individual instrument panel finished in leather and automatic operation of the tailgate on the BMW X6 M. The optional comfort features available on both the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M include BMW’s Professional navigation system, four-zone automatic air conditioning, active seat ventilation, full leather upholstery in Merino leather, a panorama glass roof on the BMW X5 M and an electrically operated glass roof on the BMW X6 M as well as the BMW Individual High End audio system.
