Press Release: The BMW Group started the new year well, with strong sales growth of 28%. A total of 105,177 BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brand automobiles were delivered to customers worldwide in January (prev. yr. 82,150). Ian Robertson, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, responsible for Sales and Marketing: “We made a successful start to the new year. We were able to make substantial gains in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa – as we reap the benefits of our young and attractive model range. The BMW Group has once again set itself ambitious goals for 2011 – record sales of more than 1.5 million vehicles and new highs for all three brands. We want to reinforce our global position as the leading supplier of premium automobiles.” Robertson added: “We expect growth rates to remain strong over the next few months, although the pace will slow a little in the second half of the year, due to baseline effects.” Sales of BMW brand vehicles increased 30% in January to reach 90,841 automobiles (prev. yr. 69,861). Deliveries of the BMW X1 rose to 7,067 (prev. yr. 4,092 / +72.7%) units, while the BMW 3 Series reported 23,489 sales (prev. yr. 22,501 / +4.4%). With an increase of 118.4% to 24,109 units, sales of the BMW 5 Series doubled from the same month last year (prev. yr. 11,037). BMW 5 Series GT volumes climbed 131.3%, with 2,160 vehicles delivered to customers (prev. yr. 934). The new BMW X3 met with exceptionally strong demand and was purchased by 5,982 (prev. yr. 3,072 / +94.7%) customers in January. The MINI brand also continued on its growth track in January and, at 14,126 units, sold 15.8% more vehicles year-on-year (12,202). The main growth driver was the new MINI Countryman, with 3,505 deliveries. Rolls-Royce remained the clear market leader in the ultra-luxury segment last month. A total of 210 (prev. yr. 87) Phantom and Ghost models were sold worldwide in January – an increase of 141.4%. The signs indicated growth for BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce in virtually all European markets, the Americas, Africa and Asia, in the month under review. In Europe, the company sold 19.3% more vehicles in total than in January 2010 (49,029 / prev. yr. 41,096). New vehicle registrations for BMW Group vehicles in Germany rose 30.9% to 18,223 units...

In an interview for Automotive News Europe , Ian Robertson, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Group sales and marketing, said BMW may lease out its Megacity Vehicle on a short-term basis, rather than offering it for sale. “We’re looking for an alternative to traditional purchase or leasing of a vehicle,” sales chief Ian Robertson said. ”We don’t want to sell the car, but rather the use of the car,” he said. The ‘Car to Go’ concept “is an interesting approach,” Robertson told Automobilwoche, the sister publication of Automotive News Europe. Furthermore, Robertson said “more and more people in large cities are looking for an alternative to the ownership of a vehicle.” Car sharing is what Robertson is most likely refer to. Last month, Dr. Robert Reithoffer, BMW CEO, said initially the Megacity will be an expensive vehicle . AutoNews says BMW would find it hard to recoup the high development and production costs of the Megacity Vehicle through sales. The final cost of the vehicle could prove too expensive for buyers. The Megacity EV could follow the same short-term leasing concept as the ActiveE and MINI E models. Same publication mentions the car’s exact model name is expected to be announced by BMW on Feb. 21. With countless hours and money invested in research and development, and recently field tests completed with the MINI E, the new Megacity family will drive BMW into a new segment where they intend to become the world’s leader in premium electric vehicles. BMW Megacity Vehicle Rendering At launch, Megacity will be offered in a two-door, four-seat configuration. The car will measure around 157 inches. In the future, the MCV sub-brand will include two additional models. First one due in 2015 and dubbed ICV, short Intracity Vehicle, will be a two-door, two-seat car. In 2017, UCV – Urban Commuter Vehicle -will extend the length of the initial MCV and has four doors while hosting five people. BMW Megacity is powered by a lithium-ion battery with 35 kWh of capacity placed below the vehicle’s floor. Rear-wheels approach remains in BMW’s philosophy and the power is sent to the rear wheels through a rear-mounted 150-hp electric motor. Driving range is expected...

Wind River and automotive component manufacturer Magneti Marelli announced they’re collaborating on the first in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) solution based on the open source Genivi Alliance spec. Based on Linux (and MeeGo, most likely), the system will first be brought to market by BMW, says Wind River. The jointly developed IVI solution supports a range of automotive control module or “head unit” architectures, and is available for all car manufacturers in customizable configurations, says Wind River. It will first appear as the basis for “next-generation entry and mid level IVI systems” for BMW Group vehicles, says the company. Timing was unclear, but it appears that the system may have already been shipped to BMW. Fiat Group subsidiary Magneti Marelli was said to have led the development of the IVI solution. Meanwhile, Intel subsidiary and embedded Linux software leader Wind River provided an integrated, tested and validated IVI software platform based on the open source Genivi standard. Wind River also offered customization and consulting services, says the company. Although Wind River did not provide details aside from the Linux foundation of the IVI software, it would appear likely that the system is based on the Linux-based MeeGo operating system. However, it may instead be based on MeeGo’s predecessor, Moblin. The original Genivi Alliance IVI reference platform launched in 2009 was based on Moblin, Wind River Linux, and the Intel Atom processor. (See farther below for background.) In July of 2010, however, the Genivi Alliance announced it would base its second IVI reference platform, called “Apollo,” on MeeGo and the Intel Atom E6xx. In August the MeeGo project released version 1.0 of the MeeGo for IVI UX (user experience) running on Intel Atom processors. A more polished version was released as part of MeeGo 1.1 in October. MeeGo for IVI features a distinctive carousel-like scroll-wheel interface (pictured above), as well as a navigation UI (below). It also includes speech recognition capabilities, as well as a sample IVI home screen and taskbar built with Qt 4.7. In March of this year, BMW joined 26 other organizations in pledging support for MeeGo. The German automaker mentioned the Genivi Alliance in...

Each week, our German correspondent slices and dices the latest rumblings, news, and quick-hit driving impressions from the other side of the pond. His byline may say Jens Meiners, but we simply call him . . . the Continental. Last week, I wrote about BMW’s possible three-cylinder engine strategy . Here’s one that is for sure: Ford will bring a turbocharged 1.0-liter, three-cylinder gasoline engine to market. It will get at least 50 mpg in the Focus, and be sold in a number of other models as well. “Ford is strongly commited to the three-cylinder engine project,” says a supplier executive who has been working with Ford. We will soon get official word on the engines. I am quite sure they will eventually be offered in the U.S. as well. Save the manuals : The upcoming 247-hp Ford Focus ST will be available with a six-speed manual only. Good. It will come in the spring of 2012 as a four-door hatchback. What about the Focus RS? The last generation of this autobahn stormer used an upgraded version of a five-cylinder engine that is not used in the Focus anymore. The future of the RS model is not decided yet, I am told. The “One Ford” strategy means that models will look identical on all continents in the future. This is true for the Focus, for the next-generation Escape/Kuga twins, and the next-generation Mondeo/Fusion. There also will be a Lincoln variation, which will of course differ significantly. Lincoln in Europe is an unlikely proposition: “We’ll watch how Cadillac will do over there,” a Ford executive tells me. That doesn’t bode well for a possible launch of the Lincoln brand on the Continent. Something else I noted on the European Focus: The LED strip on top of the optional xenon headlights is a cool (and heretofore unseen) detail, and I like the LED taillights that come standard with the Titanium trim level. (Judgment on the base version’s lights is reserved until I see them.) But I don’t get why Ford doesn’t create a consistent lighting signature for its models. The illuminated lights on the Focus, Mondeo, Galaxy, and S-Max all look cool by themselves, but there is no visual connection among them. And the Ford Vertrek concept ? In terms of lighting design, it doesn’t fit in and...

It looks like GM’s decision to run the Chevy Volt hype machine around the clock for the past two years has paid off: The car is so hot, the company has announced that Volts will be available at dealerships in all 50 states by the end of 2011. As of now, it’s only on sale in six markets—New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Washington, D.C., California, and Texas—with Michigan sales beginning soon. The rest of the country was going to have to wait until the first half of 2012 to buy the plug-in hybrid. Starting in the third quarter of 2011, Volts will arrive in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Washington, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Hawaii. The remaining markets will see Volts on dealer lots in the fourth quarter of 2011, likely in November. Rob Peterson, a GM spokesman, explained, “The Volt is helping to change consumer perceptions about Chevrolet, bringing a stream of new buyers to our dealer showrooms.  Accelerating the nationwide roll-out gives us the opportunity to capitalize on the enthusiasm for the Volt beyond the initial seven launch markets.” Some outlets outside of those seven launch markets, however, aren’t content to wait. The sales manager at Jim Ellis Chevrolet, in Atlanta, Georgia, drove a Volt home from Long Island so the dealership would be able to show it to customers. It now is on a heavy test-drive rotation, along with a second Volt that the dealership picked up recently. According to Mark Frost, the sales manager, they are doing between five and ten Volt test drives per day. That the dealership will be able to sell the Volt in the second half of 2011, rather than the middle of 2012, is welcome news: they have taken 15 deposits from customers, with another 100 signed up on a waiting list. Waiting lists at bow-tie dealerships around the country could get very crowded later this year. Selling the Volt nationwide in 2011, rather than in just seven markets, means that the planned run of 10,000 vehicles is going to be stretched mighty thin. General Motors says it is looking closely at increasing production—there are rumors that the company could double production this year, and multiply 2012 production by an even larger factor—but for now, no decisions have been made. Peterson says...

Despite the X1 getting the new TwinTurbo four-cylinder engine, the U.S. market is rumored to initially receive the X1 xDrive35i. The high-end X1 is equipped with the N55 turbo six-cylinder engine which produces 300 horsepower. Last week, BMW made the headlines of many automotive publications with the announcement of their new four-cylinder TwinPower 2.0 liter engine. Dubbed N20, the engine will be first used in the new X1 xDrive28i and produces 245 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque (258 lb of torque). The engine can be matted to a 6-speed manual transmission or a 8-speed automatic transmission. In the EU test cycle, the BMW X1 xDrive28i runs with 7.9 liters/100 km or 35.7 mpg imp (an improvement of 1.5 liters / 5.7 mpg), has CO2 emissions of 183 g/km (down by 38g). Closely modelled on the BMW in-line six-cylinder engines, the all-new 2.0-litre engine with all-aluminium crankcase comes with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology features high-performance twin-scroll turbocharging system, High Precision Injection direct petrol injection with innovative solenoid injectors, and the latest further enhanced version of the BMW-patented VALVETRONIC variable valve control system. Car and Driver reports that the BMW X1 xDrive28i with the new engine will make its debut in Europe only and no news around an U.S. debut are available at this time. Their sources mention that eventually the turbo four should replace the naturally aspirated 3.0-liter six in all BMW products. Car and Driver was told the 2012 Z4 will be one of the first recipients on our shores, followed by the new 3-series and 1-series. Once those models arrive, and assuming the M3 follows through with its move to a turbo six, BMW will have an all-turbocharged lineup.

At the Geneva auto show in March, Fiat will unveil the Freemont, a rebadged Dodge Journey for the European market. It will appear alongside another American export, the Lancia-labeled Chrysler 200, which is expected to be called the Flavia. Other than the Freemont’s front fascia—which features three quarters of the Dodge’s crosshair grille—the differences are nominal. Most significant, the Freemont’s powertrain lineup adds two diesel options, which are sure to make up the overwhelming majority of sales in Europe. Shoppers will be able to choose from a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel with either 140 or 170 hp. Although Fiat hasn’t yet released full specs, in other applications these engines make a respective 236 or 266 lb-ft of torque. The diesels will be available only with manual transmissions and front-wheel drive. The range-topping Freemont will come with Chrysler’s powerful 3.6-liter V-6, a six-speed autobox, and all-wheel drive as the only configuration. This car was previously sold in Europe under its Dodge Journey birth name, with either the 2.4-liter gas engine that was also offered in the U.S., or a transplanted Volkswagen four-cylinder diesel. It was not a stunning success, but that was also before the Journey was vastly improved through a reworked suspension and major interior upgrades . Marketing was weak in Europe under the poorly represented Dodge brand, too, so Fiat’s big dealer network should be a boon. While the Journey isn’t a class leader, adding the Freemont nevertheless gives Fiat a credible three-row crossover overnight. Other European brands have gone a similar route, with Peugeot and Citroën offering their own versions of the Mitsubishi Outlander. Coincidentally, both the Journey and the Outlander spring from architectures that can be traced back to a Chrysler-Mitsubishi small-car collaboration of yore. Check back during the first days of March for our full coverage of the Geneva auto show, which will include more details on the exhilarating Freemont and even more heart-pumping stuff (Click here! It’s a new Ferrari!) .

Mazda is the latest manufacturer to announce plans to build an electric version of an existing gasoline car. The company will develop a prototype electric car based on the Demio (known as the Mazda 2 outside Japan), set to debut in spring 2012. The car is expected to have a maximum range of 124 miles per charge, and will initially be leased in limited numbers to government entities and fleet buyers in Japan. Mazda will use the lease program to develop electric vehicle technologies, in the same way that the Mini E lease program (and upcoming BMW 1-series ActiveE leases) served as test beds for BMW’s electric powertrains. Mazda also reiterates its allegiance to the internal-combustion engine, saying that it will continue to focus on developing fuel-saving technologies for its engines. For now the trials are limited to the Japanese market, and will serve primarily as a research project. Expect more information to trickle out as the spring 2012 launch date approaches.

Fiat has unveiled its new large MPV called the Freemont. The Freemont is essentially a European version of the Dodge Journey and is the first Fiat model from the brand’s alliance with Chrysler LLC. The Freemont will be built at Chrysler’s Toluca factory in Mexico, alongside the Journey and imported for the European market. Minor revisions include LED tail-lights, new bumpers, and a new radiator grille sporting the Fiat emblem. Fiat claim the Freemont is a “factotum vehicle” which has been “designed to meet the diverse needs of families and those seeking a spacious, comfortable and versatile vehicle to cater for the frenetic pace of everyday life or weekend leisure time”. The entrance of the Freemont means that the compact Multipla MPV will be replaced; a plan that has been delayed due to Fiat’s lack of spending. The Freemont will sit alongside the sub-compact Qubo, and the compact Doblo MPV. The new vehicle has had its chassis extensively reworked for “greater accuracy and directness” to make them more appropriate for European tastes. Two engines will be offered; two tunes of the 2.0 MultiJet and a 3.6 litre Pentastar V6. The diesels arrive with 138bhp and 168bhp, both linked to a 6 speed manual, while the V6 produces 272bhp. In the pipeline, a 4×4 variant will be offered, using the more powerful diesel engine and the V6 petrol engine. Both will be hooked to a 6 speed automatic. Inside, the Freemont uses more soft-touch materials and sports a reworked instrument panel and centre console. The 7 seat Freemont measures at 4,890 long, 1,880mm wide, and 1,720 high, so with all the seats flipped down, luggage space is calculated at 1,461 litres. Two trim-levels will be available as part of the ‘Fiat Fair Price’ strategy. Entry-level models will come with tri-zone climate control, keyless entry, advance trip computer, tyre pressure monitoring system, front fog lights, ESP, x7 airbags, hill-start assist, touch-screen radio, cruise control, and steering wheel audio controls. The range-topping trim will arrive with 17” alloy wheels, privacy rear glass, Bluetooth w/satellite navigation system, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, rear parking sensors, roof rails, electrically folding door mirrors, and automatic headlights and wipers. A world debut...

BMW’s X3 and X5 crossovers have been successful at establishing a strong position in the luxury SUV segment. BMW’s X6 and 5-Series Gran Turismo, on the other hand, haven’t done quite as well. The smallest of the X crossovers, the X1, went into production for European sale in October 2009 at the company’s Leipzig assembly plant in Germany. Since then, the factory has been churning out X1′s as fast as it can build them, as the X1 has turned out to be an unexpectedly large success for BMW. The car’s performance in Europe is delaying its arrival to the United States, where the crossover market is growing very rapidly. Jim O’Donnell, BMW of North America’s Chief Executive Officer tells Automotive New s that “We are supply constrained….as long as they [Europe] keep selling them, I do not know when we are going to get it.” The decision to delay was made last year when it became apparent the X1 was doing quite well for itself in Europe, “selling out” in every single market. BMW is expected to review U.S sale of the X1 in April, meaning the earliest we could see it is in September. It could be pushed out even further though if demand continues. The X1′s success took the company by surprise according to Ian Robertson, BMW’s board member for global sales and marketing….”It surprised everybody…it hit a sweet spot, and, given all the other things, it arrived at the right time…” BMW won’t be left out of the U.S crossover segment however, as the more important all-new X3 crossover is launching here on our market this year. Apparently, the X1 isn’t expected to be that much of a seller in the U.S anyway, as BMW categorizes the car as a “low-volume” vehicle. That means a volume of around 8,000 a year minimum to “make it worthwhile” says O’Donnell. We think that number will be well achievable for BMW when the crossover actually goes on sale. For now though, demand outstripping supply is a good problem to have.

Once the Fiat-Chrysler partnership came to fruition, it opened up a lot of possibilities about how to best integrate each manufacturer’s brands. There have been ill-conceived plans speculated about along the way, such as rebadging Alfa Romeos as Dodges. A possibility that has remained promising since the beginning is the pairing of Fiat’s mid-level luxury brand, Lancia, with Chrysler. That means a sharing of new models. Hopefully, in the future Lancia will keep a unique Italian design touch on vehicles rather than just rebadging. For now though, it seems the holdover models will receive little more than a few tweaks until all-new next-generation models arrive. Automotive News Europe reports that the redesigned 200, has been confirmed to arrive in Italy badged as a Lancia. There was rumors of this happening for quite awhile, and now the decision has been confirmed by Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marcionne. Speaking with Automotive News, he said “The new Chrysler 200 will come – cabriolet included – to Europe as a Lancia, and Flavia is a very good hint as its possible name.” The car will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show as a replacement to the Chrysler Sebring. Chrysler-badged cars will no longer be sold in European markets. The Geneva show is set to bring a number of debuts for Lancia. Rebadged versions of the 200 and 300 dubbed Thema and Flavia are rumored to be coming, as well as the possibility of the Town & Country minivan doing duty at the brand. As Lancias cars will be differentiated only tweaks to the exterior, interior and engine options. In other words, they will look about the same as their Chrysler counterparts. Perhaps most important of the debuts for Lancia is the five-door hatchback Ypsilon. The Ypsilon is Lancia’s best-selling model, and currently is only available in a three-door body style. The five-door segment of cars in Europe is much higher volume, and Lancia is aiming to appeal to more customers by entering the segment. Hopefully, while rebadged, the cars will have some meaningful changes that really make them look like Lancias. We’re eager to see what they look like in March when the Geneva Motor Show rolls around.

UK magazine WhatCar? reviews the new 2012 BMW 6 Series Convertibl e. In Europe, the new 6 Series Convertible will debut on March 26, 2011 with the 640i and 650i models. A few months later, the 640d will join the line-up, including the xDrive option. Both the 640i and 650i will join the US line-up. The entry-level 6er Convertible is powered by the N55 TwinScroll turbocharged engine. The engine produces 320 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 450Nm of torque between 1,300 and 4,500 rpm. The 640i Convertible weighs 1,840 kilograms, but still manages to run from 0 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds. 2012 6 Series Convertible has the alure of an athelete, combined with svetlness, classic looks and the 6 Series shark nose. The car sports a sweeping hood surrounded by a muscular profile. Like the lines projecting outward from the nose of the car and continuing along its full length, the harmoniously curved surfaces of the body take their cue from the movement of waves sent out by a the bow of a motor boat piercing the water. The new 6 Series receives the full LED treatment, as previewed on the 6 Series Coupe Concept. Let’s have a look at the video review. View original here: Video Review: 2012 BMW 6 Series Convertible

The next generation BMW 1 Series is just around the corner. The new 1er Hatch will be unveiled this summer and will make its world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Latest spy photos show the car in the final evaluation phase when the camouflage slowly comes off and more design details are being revealed. This last spy shot gives us a glance at the creased hood, similar to the new 5 or 6 Series models. Following a similar design language, the new 1er aims to move up on the luxury scale. The car is expected to have a more aggressive look, fitted to the 1 Series bodystyle. The three and five-door hatch will only be available in Europe, but coupe and convertible variants will make their way onto the U.S. soil. To align with current models, inside, the car will inherit some cues from the 5 Series, taking the sometimes criticized 1er interior to higher luxury levels. Starting in 2013, BMW will add two more 1 Series variants to their line-up, and rumors around a front-wheel drive, and even xDrive, continue to surface monthly. To generate enough volume, BMW will link its FWD/AWD newcomers to the third-edition MINI, which happens to debut almost simultaneously. The following year, BMW plants to introduce a Gran Turismo version of the new 1 Series. Dubbed 1 Series GT, the new model will be a 5-door vehicle, a mix between a hatch, wagon and sedan. 1 GT will be 2 inches (5cm) longer than the 3-door and 5-door models, but it will sport an unique front-end. To reflect the Gran Turismo design, the 1 GT will have an elevated driving position, as seen in the  5 Gran Turismo . Inside, the 1 Series GT should provide an alternative between two individual rear seats separated by a central console or the classic rear seats setup. Its fastback body follows the tone set by the 5-series Gran Turismo and upcoming 3-series GT due in 2013. Starting in 2013, however, BMW will add two more 1-series variants, this time with a choice of front- or  all-wheel drive , thereby following a recipe chosen by Audi for the A3 and by Mercedes for the next A-/B-class. For enhanced synergy effects, even the body styles offered by the two brands are closely related. There’s a , and a fastback BMW that shares its vehicle structure with next Mini Clubman. Our sources indicate that new three...
