" The History of BMW now has more than 90 years. The company started in 1916. BMW calls its history, its mobile tradition. A concept where the past provides a window into the present and the future."
" We're just car nuts; we love cars. And what we've done for a while is we've gone to the mobile tradition as an advance design company group. And knocked on the doors and asked them please, please, please, let's just go, you know, and take in what the cars were."
" The design"
" BMW. And it really comes down to the word; agile, dynamic, tension, assertive."
" Beginning with its flagship 7-series, BMW undertakes a major change in automotive design language. Unconventional proportions with complex, concave, and convex surfaces. It takes time for the new foreign language to be understood by the public, but today, that language is seen on all BMWs. Not to mention, some of the competition's cars."
" And that means that you take in, specifically a plane from A to B, and you twist it. And by twisting that, you're actually creating a cross, whole form, which then makes the highlight jump from line-to-line. And that is what makes that visual interplay between highlights that are not running parallel to the world. They've run from line-to-line in a sort of a flamy zigzag kind of way."
" Each new BMW speaks the new design language, including the relaunched 6-series and the replacement for BMW Z3 convertible."
" Z4, very dynamic 3-dimensional forms, concave, convex, plays of light, and reflection lines. And incorporated that with the spirit of a lightweight racer because that's, at the end of the day, what BMW is about, lightweight, 6-cylinder engines, motor out on the front, real-wheel drive, and just amazing proportions."
" The shape of new BMWs may seem revolutionary, but what's under the hood of most models is technological evolution at its best. The famous BMW inline 6-cylinder was introduced in 1933, and every year it just keeps getting stronger."
" Inline 6-cylinder engine is a very important piece for BMW, and maybe one of the secrets of the success of BMW because we're always refining this engine. And this engine stays for a very smooth run, for a lot of dynamics and so on. And it's state of the art for BMW `til today."
" The first BMW straight-6 makes 30 horsepower and tops out at 60 miles an hour. The 3.2 liter, 24 valve inline-6 in the BMW M3 kicks out 333 horses, 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds, top speed (electronically limited) to 155."
" A lot of people tend to get out of the 3-series sedan and say it drives like a sports car. It is a sports car. BMW build extremely dynamic sporting vehicles."

" six cylinder rear wheel drive, that's what BMW is about"
Really? In 2014 BMW will bring a front wheel drive four cylinder engine car based on the Mini.
BMW is about making money. They will compromise tradition for money.
Nothing wrong with that, except when they talk out of both sides of their mouth.
