All-Electric BMW Active E

The ActiveE is BMW’s all-new electric vehicle, designed as a ‘beta’ version of the forthcoming i3. Based on the swell little 1 Series Coupe, the Active E uses similar drive train and battery technologies as the i3, but in a less future-luxe package.
BMW says the Active E represents the second part of their three-phase electric vehicle development plan, which will culminate in the series production of the BMW i3 electric vehicle sometime in 2013.

What's New?

BMW took what they learned from the MINI E and created, for the first time, what feels like a fully realized electric car. BMW developed everything in the car - the energy storage module, its wiring, the electric motor, the power electronics and the transmission. The power plant - a 170-horsepower, 184 pound-feet-of-torque, 125-kW electric motor - is shoehorned into the engine bay and is powered by a 32-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack. While BMW designed the battery pack too, the cells are made by SB LiMotive, a partnership between Samsung and Bosch.
Because lithium-ion batteries are so temperature-sensitive, BMW developed a new management system with a ‘Smart Function’ that warms the battery pack remotely, resulting in less loss. Also new on the Active E is a ‘Gliding” mode, which makes for a less obtrusive drive. That said, it takes some time to learn to drive an electric car. Whereas in a gas-powered car, you slow down by using the brakes, in the Active E, you can slow down using the accelerator pedal, via brake energy regeneration. To wit: when you lift off the accelerator, the electric motor becomes, as BMW says ‘a generator that feeds the electricity gained from kinetic energy back into the vehicle battery,” resulting in torque braking. BMW says you can spend 75 percent of city driving never using the brake pedal. On our 20-mile loop in the car that proved true.

What’s Good

Unlike the much-maligned drive on the MINI E, the drive on the Active E is pretty damn good, electric vehicle or not. The regenerative braking is a lot less active than on the MINI E, which was close to the point of being obtrusive. While BMW told us the MINI E customers liked the regenerative braking, the engineers went back and did a major re-think, resulting in the new gliding mode. BMW calls this ‘a distinctive intermediate position of the accelerator pedal’ which allows the vehicle to glide without using any energy.

What’s Bad

It’s somewhat hard to fault the short range of an electric car, but, while we really enjoyed the Active E, it would be hard to present it as an option for a one-car household. With a range of 100 miles or so, we’d still live in fear of running out of juice at an inopportune time or if your short commute turns into a long one due to traffic.
Also, you’ll need to rethink the way you drive. Due to the aforementioned regenerative braking and glide mode, you’ll need to learn to drive with just your left foot -- and think of the ‘gas’ pedal as both an accelerator and a brake. Whoa!

The Price

The ActiveE is available with a 24-month lease in limited markets - Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento, New York, Boston and Hartford. For $499 per month, with $2,250 down, you too can drive off in one of the 700 electric BMWs allocated for the US. Which is about the same price you’ll pay for a well-equipped gas-powered 1 Series. Don’t forget, you’ll also need to pay for an in-home electric charging station, which runs about 2500 dollars.

The Verdict

BMW presents a pretty compelling proposition here. But while we admire and respect what BMW has accomplished with the Active E and feel they’ll have no problem leasing all 700 that are coming to the states, the Active E is starting to make us pine for the third stage of the BMW group electrification, the iBrand vehicles. That said, if you want an electric car now that ups the style factor from the Nissan Leaf, the Active E is the car for you.

BMW 8 Series

G-Power G1 V8 Hurricane

Since the 1 Series M already has buffer bodywork than its less athletic siblings, G-Power didn’t bother to change much on the outside. The stock hood is replaced by a power dome carbon fiber unit, and the stock decklid is ditched in favor of a carbon fiber piece featuring an integral ducktail spoiler.

All the other panels are refinished in a grayish brown that’s bound to win nods of approval from the Brown Car Appreciation Society, the ride is lowered thanks to one of G-Power’s GM1-RS Clubsport coilover kit, carbon-ceramic brake rotors are installed, and a set of 20″ wheels from G-Power’s Silverstone Diamond line are bolted onto each corner. Inside, the cockpit is draped in white and brown leather an Alcantara. And unlike most tuning shops that do upholstery work, G-Power takes the time to re-contour the seat cushions to provide the optimum mix of comfort and support. Your posterior will thank you.

But when it comes to entertaining your posterior (and the rest of you), nothing does a better job than the changes made under the hood. But rather than pumping up the 3.0L twin-turbo inline-six, G-Power yanks it out (along with the 6-speed manual transmission) and drops in the M3′s 4.0L V8 and M-DCT 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. That alone would increase output from 335hp to 414hp, but G-Power didn’t stop there. It also added a hand fabricated stainless steel exhaust system and, in typical G-Power fashion, a centrifugal supercharger. The final tallies come out to 592hp and 428 lb.-ft of torque. All that power packed into a 1 Series body? Dang. And if you think the power and torque figures are nuts, check out the performance figures. G-Power claims 0-62 mph sprints will take 4.4 seconds, while top speed is 205 mph. Wowza. But the G1 V8 Hurricane RS is likely to sell out just as quickly as it moves: G-Power will perform only 30 conversions, a number that is significant because 30 is the number of years in business the firm will be celebrating next year. Oh, and the conversion will cost about $182,000 with value-added tax and other fees. Yeah, there are cheaper ways to celebrate a 30th anniversary or birthday, but a tattoo won’t propel you to 205 mph, will it?

BMW 8 Series

We all know and have seen the many creations of the BMW’s M division, they’re known for some of the world’s finest high performance cars. However, this time they have been called for a challenge they’re not used to, to build a “four door GT coupe” and to take it on the spot as BMW’s next flagship vehicle for the year 2010… And the end result, here is what they have come up with, the new 8 Series… Read more: Check out this latest big meany:

As you will be aware, it looks exactly like the 2007 BMW Concept CS (pictures below), which was first showed off at the 2007 Shanghai Motor Show. According to M division head honcho Ludwig Willisch, the car will not be an “M” car per se, but the design is such a departure from typical BMW designs that, for the first time in the division’s history, they’ve been tasked to build their first non-M-badged vehicle. Though specs not yet available, the new 8 Series’ main rivalries will be the Mercedes Benz CLS3 AMG, the yet-to-be-released Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide.
