2006 Hamann BMW M5 Edition Race
HAMANN offers its clients three different engine tuning options. The high revving 5-litre V10 with 507 bhp and 520 Nm is limited to 250km/h as standard. By removing the engine limiter, the racy Bavarian can reach top speeds of between 300km/h and 320km/h, depending on the wheel and tyre combination. The second option is made up of a combination of removing the engine limiter and optimising the engine characteristics by reprogramming the standard engine computer. HAMANN manages to tease an additional 30bhp/26kW and 15 Nm out of the V10 engine. The “HM/M +60" sport kit provides even better performance. The kit is made up of high-performance headers, metallic sports catalytic converters, a sports rear silencer, a sports air filter, an engine map optimisation and the removal of engine restrictions. As the name of the sports kit already suggests, the engine then provides around an additional 60bhp/44kW and can provide an extra 54 Nm of torque, meaning that a notably faster top speed of up to 320km/h can be reached.

Audi A4/Volkswagen Passat 1.8T BCS (Boost Control System) Installation Instructions

1:56 AM by onesecond · 0 comments
Installation Instructions
1) In order to gain access to the engine computer, it is helpful to reposition the windshield wipers. Turn the ignition on and turn on the windshield wipers. When the wipers reach the vertical position, turn off the ignition. Make sure the ignition is turned off and the key is removed before continuing with the installation.
2) Inside the engine compartment there is a plastic box near the firewall on the driver side. In order to access the back screw, remove the plastic cap located adjacent to the driver side wiper arm. Remove the screws that hold down the plastic cover.
3) Remove the black plastic cover to access the ECU.
4) Find a suitable location to mount the BCS. In most cases the unit is installed in the opening of the center console near the car stereo. The unit is held in place with the Velcro that is provided.
5) Route the wires through the center console to an opening located near the clutch or brake pedal.
6) Route the BCS wires from the pedal area to the open hole in the side of the ECU box.
7) Remove the ECU connector covers by cutting the zip ties and pulling off the covers from the connector housings.
8) Remove about eight inches of the cloth tape around the ECU wiring harness.
9) Make the connections about six inches away from the ECU connectors.
10) Use the ECU pin diagram below to help you locate the correct wires to connect into.
11) Verify the correct wire for each connection by pin number and wire color code. See the reverse side of this page for wiring instructions.

Calibration Procedure
The rear panel calibration adjustment allows you to fine tune the BCS for your vehicle. If the setting is too high or too low, your car will not make full power. After the BCS is installed, the rear panel adjustment can be set during a short test drive. Start with the setting on maximum (100). See if the car pulls strongly to redline. Turn down the setting until the cars pulls strongly to redline in all gears. If the cars surges (cyclic variation in power), turn down the setting a little bit. Most 1999 and 2000 cars will wind up set near zero. Many 2001 cars will work best near 90

Wiring Instructions
The diagram below shows the location of the wires on the ECU connector plugs that are used to tie in the BCS. Be sure to trace the wires to the ECU pins to insure that connections are made to the correct wires. Do not go by wire color alone. You must confirm the correct wire by connector location. Connections will be made to the wiring harness a few inches from the side of the engine computer. All connections are made using the crimp connectors that are provided. The T-tap connectors are in two parts. The dark red piece is clamped onto the wire with a pair of pliers. After striping the corresponding wire from the BCS, crimp on the male spade connector. Make sure you crimp onto the bare wire and not the insulation. Shrink the insulation onto the wire with a heat gun. Inspect the male spade connector to make sure that the spade terminal is centered inside the insulator. This will insure that it mates properly with the T-tap connector. Push the male spade onto the T-tap connector until it snaps into place.

2007 AC Schnitzer ACS5 BMW X5
The AC Schnitzer BMW X5 is a 4x4 hero especially brilliant at urban terrain, and that calls for different accessories from a conventional off-road-vehicle. With its new range, AC Schnitzer has adapted the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) perfectly to its natural environment. Like its predecessor, the E70 is an extremely agile vehicle despite its size.With a special undermount front skirt including spoiler corners, AC Schnitzer has achieved a far more dynamic front face. It still retains the large standard air intakes with the striking cross bars, but the lines are drawn visually further down than in the standard version. So the X5 seems to crouch straight onto the tarmac. The rear end too has been restyled correspondingly, and with the AC Schnitzer rear skirt appears substantially more elegant and more sporting. Behind the perfectly integrated, chromed tailpipe trims in "Racing" style – in the form of a horizontal figure of eight - lies the sonorous exhaust system with two sports rear silencers of V2A special steel.At the front and back, the eye of the beholder is drawn to the suggested protection plate, which lends an aura of off-road daring to everyday life. In the end, you could if you wanted: technically the X5 with its high-tech all-wheel drive is perfect for the small offroad trip.

2009 Audi S4 Set For 333hp
Audi is introducing its new sporty top models in the midsize class – the S4 and the S4 Avant. Their engine, a three-liter V6 with direct fuel injection and mechanical turbocharging, delivers a powerful 245 kW (333 hp). It accelerates the S4 to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in just 5.1 seconds, but on average only uses 9.7 liters of fuel per 100 km (24.25 US mpg).

BMW's Sports Activity Vehicle Continues To Offer Unprecedented Handling, Comfort and Capability At its introduction, the X3 offered something no one else could—a luxury-compact with the versatility and all-road capability of a sport-utility, combined with the quality, performance and handling of a BMW. Compared to the large domestic and Japanese sport-utility vehicles then dominating the market, the X3 offered a smaller, more nimble, yet in many ways equally versatile alternative. The X3 also introduced drivers to xDrive, BMW's "intelligent" all-wheel-drive system that offers near-instantaneous torque apportioning with changing road conditions. Nothing else in its class came close, and the X3 quickly reached virtually the same sales figures as its larger X5 sibling.

Audi Tradition’s annual programme for 2009 is centred on the Audi centenary. More than 50 events have been planned. Two dates are especially significant: on 16 July 2009, exactly 100 years after the company was established, Audi is inviting guests to a commemorative ceremony in Ingolstadt; Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel has already agreed to attend. Not to be missed by every enthusiast and friend of the Audi brand: the largest historic motor sport event in the world – the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England, where Audi will be putting in a special appearance as ‘featured marque’.

2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS 260hp Turbo
Developed by GM Performance Division (GMPD) and powered by a 260-horsepower (194 kW) turbocharged and intercooled 2.0L Ecotec engine, the Cobalt SS delivers 55 horses (41 kW) more than the previous Cobalt SS Supercharged, and its driving experience was validated on racetracks throughout North America and Europe, including Germany's legendary Nürburgring circuit.

"The Cobalt SS is the very essence of Chevrolet's fun spirit and serious performance," said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. "The horsepower will put a permanent smile on your face and you'll find yourself wanting to turn around and zip through your favorite stretch of twisty roads again."

Direction on how to install E-Open in to a BMW Z4

Please note the following:
1) This is for information ONLY; you take full responsibility for what you do. If you blow up your car, do not come yelling at me.
2) I did this install on a US spec 2005 BMW Z4. I do NOT know if it will work on BMW’s from other countries.
3) This install did NOT work because my Z4 already had an auto top down feature from BMW that is conflicting with the E-Open. In order to get this to work in my car I have to find out how to disable the internal remote top down feature. The unit was removed from my old 2003 Z4 and it worked just fine. All of the connections are the same.
The car: If your car was made 4/04 or later, you will have problems. The car already has an Auto-Top down feature.

Concept BMW CS

Concept BMW CS
The BMW Concept CS was created by a team at BMW Design Development in Munich and comes with several exterior and interior design touches that could make their way on to future models. Its body width increases towards the rear to emphasise the sporting pretensions and wide track of the car. The BMW Concept CS is 400mm wider (1,978mm excl mirrors) and 67mm longer (5,106mm) compared to a standard wheelbase BMW 7 Series. Its sleek profile hinting at the low centre of gravity is confirmed by a roof line that, at its zenith, is just 1,367mm - 124mm lower than a BMW 7 Series. While the Concept CS is a vision of one possible future, it still retains its core BMW DNA. A reworking of the classic kidney grille design aimed at improving air flow to the engine is incorporated, while the Concept CS features the traditional Hofmeister kink on the C-pillar and dual corona ring headlights.

"They were given the nod to pursue it and we think the result is fun and exciting; it amplifies the very best attributes that have made the HHR so popular with customers."

Remove the dashboard panel and small glove box from around the driver’s pedals and below the steering column – four Philips screws to remove the driver’s glove box, one plastic push pin rivet, one Philips screw and the clutch pedal stop screw to remove the main panel. Remove the cover under and below the steering wheel/column. Two push pin rivets - push in the centre pins, they will fall loose, then pull downwards on the cover, it needs a bit of force to come free as there are plastic tabs holding the column surround together just behind the wheel. This will expose most of the area behind the lower driver’s dash, the ignition wiring loom and its switch terminals.

2008 BMW Alpina B7 Exclusive Ultra-Performance Luxury Sedan
The latest manifestation of the unique BMW-ALPINA synergy is the B7, based on the BMW 7 Series luxury sedan. Currently, BMW offers ultra-performance models of its 3, 5, 6 and Z4 Series developed by BMW M, BMW's own performance subsidiary. BMW M's automobiles have specific performance character, typified by high-revving engines and manual or sequential-manual (SMG) transmissions. For an ultra-performance version of the 7 Series – a platform that is defined by lavish luxury and generous interior space and offered only with an automatic transmission – something other than "M" performance character was called for.

The T tap has dielectric grease inside to protect the connection from moisture. Place the wire across the two U slots and close. The T tap accepts “plug in” blade connectors which allows the service technician the ability to disconnect the FUEL Plus when diagnosing a problem.

Self fusing tape will bond to itself creating a lasting water tight seal. Wire colors are stated as (solid color/ stripe). You may have to roll the wire over to see the stripe. If your bike requires different connections than what is stated here please contact Electronic Resources for assistance.

The spellbinding steering precision right from the factory can be improved a few shades more by the 25-millimetre lower suspension setting at the front axle and 15-millimetre lower suspension at the rear.

Power is generated by a new 4.5L diesel engine that gives this off-road-ready Suburban power, poise and efficiency.

As these spy shots by our shooter so deep underground that he's anonymous show, it's on. This convertible Aston Martin was spied just a few days ago while the sedately disguised convertible was out for an early evening romp. Expected as a model-year-2007 car, it would make most sense to be unveiled at the Paris, Los Angeles, or Detroit auto show, and launch in the States by spring of next year. Like its coupe sibling, the convertible gets the Jaguar AJ-V8-derived 380-horsepower 4.3-liter twin-cam, 32-valve V-8 and an aluminum/composite body.

2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Pops 505hp
The aerodynamics of the Z06’s exterior were shaped by the experiences of the Corvette racing program, where high-speed stability and cornering capability are paramount. And while the race cars use large rear wings, the Z06’s elevated spoiler provides sufficient downforce to balance the road-worthy front splitter without adversely affecting aerodynamic drag. The Z06’s Cd is 0.34.

For all its race-inspired functionality, the Z06 is designed to be a daily-driveable high-performance vehicle. To that end, comfort and convenience are held to a very high standard. High-Intensity Discharge lighting, fog lamps, leather seating, dual-zone air conditioning, cabin air filtration and head-up display (HUD) with track mode and g-meter are standard.
