BMW 5 Series Hybrid Readies for American Debut
Luxury Automaker Expanding Battery-Boosted Lineup with ActiveHybrid 5

BMW is committed to building more and more powerful luxury sedans and sports cars, but it wants to do so while improving the fuel efficiency of its lineup. Those efforts have led to the creation of the BMW ActiveHybrid 5 sedan, which will reach U.S. BMW dealers next March sporting impressive power figures and much-improved fuel efficiency.
 
Based on the BMW 535i Sedan, the ActiveHybrid 5 is expected to get a 35-horsepower boost over its gas-only sibling, along with double-digit percentage improvements in fuel economy, according to the automaker’s initial testing. BMW shoppers will have two hybrid sedan options after the launch of the 5 Series hybrid, with the other choice being the ActiveHybrid 7, the world’s fastest street-legal hybrid car.

Hi, I'm Rob
by Rob Hannafin


Every month I write about suggestions on how to keep your BMW running and looking like new...but why believe me?  Let me tell you a little a bit about myself and my BMW background.
 
I purchased my first BMW in 1988, a slightly used 1986 635csi.  Paying more per month for the car than my rent caused most of my acquaintances to believe I was insane.  This was just the start of my addiction.  I still collect late 60's and early 70's BMW's--with more memorabilia at my home than you'd find in a museum!

Photo: Fight Back Against Sinus Infections
Sinus infections, also known as sinusitis, are a widespread problem that can interfere with day-to-day life. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) defines sinusitis as inflammation of the sinuses that occurs with a viral, bacterial or fungal infection. Sinusitis can be caused by a common cold, allergies or a problem with nasal structure. For many people, the symptoms of congestion, coughing and headaches are often unbearable. Fortunately, however, there are simple steps you can take to help alleviate a sinus infection or even avoid one altogether.

Facts About the Group Behind the Ultimate Driving Machine


1916: FOUNDING OF BAYERISCHE FLUGZEUG-WERKE~
Bayerische Flugzeug-Werke (BFW) was founded on March 7, 1916.  The new company incorporated Otto-Werke.  BMW acquired the BFW site in 1922, but Bayerische Motoren Werke continues to regard BFW's establishment as its date of founding.
 
 
1992: BMW VENTURES INTO THE USA~
BMW decided to build a car plant in the USA, thus emphasizing its status as a global player.  The plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, designed specifically for the production of the new BMW Z3 Roadster, was opened in 1994.  The Z3 was exported all over the world from there.  In the late 1990s, the plant extended its production facilities for the BMW X5, which is likewise only built in Spartanburg.
