"park bench" type wing spoilers typically will produce more drag per downforce than a conventional lip or low profile spoiler. Just something worth noting. They may look all "cool", but you don't need the downforce over a standard spoiler, and they add signifigant drag at high speed. They just aren't good period.

Ok. I've translated the first page: 8)

The 645 Ci is a prime example for a cleverer high positioning and a profitables marketing.The new Coupé is based on the relatively conventional 5-series plattform, carries the image-pregnant model designation of the legendary inline-6 and costs nearly as much as the identically motorized 7-series Limousine. An ingenious calculation? BMW wants to use this concept also in two other classes: The planned 2-series is technically a 1-series, but concerning the price nearly already a 3-series; and the projected 4-series is a newly fitted out 3-series, which will not cost substantially less than a comparably motorized 5-series. It will probably be a lot of variants of the 2-series. Maybe a two-door Coupé? A four-seated Cabriolet? A two seated nearly Z Coupé like? Or a 2-seated Z2 roadster. The Coupé, which might be set in production by 2006, doesn't look remind you much about the concept in 2002, which was already sold at that time in the USA with the auxiliary designation Coupé. The Americans had made themselves strong for the four-door notchback, but the BMW strategists did not want to move the 3-series too close on the fur. (whatever the germans ment by that... :roll: )

I'll try to translate page 2 tomorrow, but I've got to go. Got a party to catch. :P

OK. Let's get on with the 2nd page:

The rearwheel-driven 1-series starts this yearly with the fuenftuerigen steep tail in October. At the latest in the middle of 2005 follows the concerning the price more attractive 3-series touring. The Coupé is scheduled for the spring 2006, the to a large extent identically constructed Cabriolet comes however probably only to the fresh air season 2007.

The BMW in the Golf format (with rear propulsion) starts in the autumn 2004. The 2-series is derived from it.

In summer 2007, the M2 might be started in production. Priority has the Coupé, which is to be equipped with a again developed 2,4-Liter-4-sylidner. The extremely easy 4-valves possesses an engine mount from magnesium and carries as highly turning Sauger approximately 250 HP out. The fitting SMG gearbox must yield medium-term the revolutionary ZSG.

The two-door Coupé carries clear courses of the legendary 02-serie. The pronounced lateral break is typical in the sheet metal. The 2-series starts in the spring 2006 as four seater.

This central synchronous transmission has one clutch in contrast to the DSG principle of Volkswagen/AUDI, however works nevertheless without traction power loss. How it functions? By a permanently inserted main shaft, which permits course jumps and a multi-level course preselection over a hydraulic switching carriage.

Whether it will give a Lifestyle combination version from the 1.series, over it there is provisionally no board resolution.

The pics are made with computer design.

From today's view the following motorizing are intended for the 2-series: 218i, 1,8-Liter-16V, 125 HP 220i, 2,0-Liter-16V, 165 HP 220iS, 2,0-Liter-16V, 200 HP 220d, 2,0-Liter-16V, 150 HP M2, 2,4-Liter-16V, 250 HP. The contraction iS marks the loaded version of the Valvetronic Vierzylinders, which must measure among other things with that likewise 200 HP strong Golf GTI engine. In the 2-series range, the weaker 115-HP-Diesel is not offered.

For the Z-models momentarily only a provisional schedule exists. They are part of the "second wave", which contains also a number of other projects, for which it provisionally no board resolution give. In addition belong the X1 laid out as variable leisure car, the sporty high roof model V1 (a variant of the spacefunctional concept RFK that BMW made) and dynamic 1-series Lifestyle-Kombi stresses.

44197.jpg

The Z2 nearly-bake resumes the red thread, where BMW lost it with that controversies M Coupé. Why nearly-bake? Because the long-drawn-out roof line deviates from the typical Coupé profile, because by the combination of sports cars and steep tail a high measure of flexibility and reservoir is created? and because the mark wants to occupy a new niche with this body concept.

The Roadster version of the Z2 look a like yet remains naturally for the traditional material, which is operated either manually or solenoid. Because the Z4 drifts concerning the price and HP-TECHNICALLY ever more toward Boxster and SLK, the Z2 is to slip into free the role of the Z3. Although all 2-series is so laid out that under the hood enough place is for in America liked the particularly straight-six cylinder, remains it first with the more favorable four-cylinder. Constructionally are cognate 1-series, 2-series, 3-series and 4-series in substantial parts. The resembling hurry portion varied depending upon model between 35 and 45 per cent, process technique is identical even to more than two thirds.

There are naturally model-specific differences regarding wheel base, length and width. But the shock strut front axle and the trapezoid steering wheel rear axle belong for all types to the master repertoire. Whereby the light alloy portion with the 1-series and 2-series from cost reasons is kept low. Because also with technical contents a clear differentiation is announced, active steering element remains of the 3-series and 4-series reserve.

44203.jpg

At the beginning of 2005, the successor of the 3-series, is ready to be launched. The Bavarian mass-mobilely takes over technique highlights like the active steering element and the six-course mechanism of the 5-series.

The 4-series Coupé (conception at the end of of 2006) and 4-series Cabrio (introduction spring 2007) will differ more clearly from the 3-series (sedan and touring), when that is so far the case. Insider expect a more dynamic appearance with more strongly issued fenders, a remarkably swept body and with an arc-shaped roof line, which ends only briefly behind the rear axle.

It goes nevertheless: The new, bulletin-industrial union-broad 3er does without...

The 4.5 meters are enough for four seater received beyond that a more broadly varied kidney, independent bumpers, a bulligeren tail conclusion and larger 17inch rims. Against surcharge there is 18 inches; for the M4 even 19 inch rollers is intended.

The wheel suspension and parts of the front car are manufactured from aluminum. That saves weight and provides for a balanced axle load distribution. The core motorizing of the 4-series is the six cylinder, which has as NG6 (new generation) Vanos and Valvetronic for the start however not over a direct injection. Those is after-pushed in the context of the first technical revision. Three capacity stages are planned: 425i; 2,5-Liter-24V, 200 HP. 430i; 3,0-Liter-24V, 250 HP. 432iS; 3,2-Liter-24V, 325 HP.

BMW engineers attach importance to the statement that the iS turbo engine (provisional technical data) is not only trimmed on achievement. With the help of modern automatic control, innovative injecting procedures and variable loader geometry are also the torque increased, which partial load consumption are lowered and the exhaust gas values are optimized.

A privileged position enjoys the M4 advised as Coupé and Cabriolet, to which an identically motorized M3-Limousine is sometimes placed to the side. In the sport model a newly developed 4,0-Liter-V8 carries service out, which takes 400 HP out of its magnesium cylinder block. For the angedachte CSl Leichtbauvariante even a capacity increase calm on 4,5 litres and an increase in output are on 450 HP in the eye. With which the high positioning would be really driven on the point.

german grammar isn't too painfully different (except for all of the odd conjugations). Swedish (the other scandanavian languages to a lesser extent) go very quickly and easily to english too (their grammar is even closer to ours than german).
