BMW says the design and technology of its two-seat Vision ConnectedDrive concept roadster are aimed at making the vehicle an integral part of a networked world. It is, perhaps, the ultimate social networking machine.

The cabin is subdivided into three distinct areas by fiber-optic lighting. A heads-up display is said to fuse the actual view of the road ahead with virtual content. The co-pilot – that would be the front-seat passenger – can review a stream of data that, if deemed worthy of the driver’s attention, can be forwarded to the instrument panel.

2011 BMW M3

The 2011 BMW M3 is huge. Once you’re settled inside, you feel as if your human presence is overshadowed, intimidated, especially with that innocuous M button staring at you.

2010 BMW 335d

2010 BMW 335d. Here is an excerpt from their review:

“Having now spent 12 months behind the wheel, I have found the 335d to be a unique offering, one that combines certain traits that typically aren’t found all in the same vehicle. These are sports car-like acceleration and handling, superb fuel economy, excellent ergonomics and passenger comfort, and Teutonic attention to detail.

Fuel economy has been exemplary. For highway driving, the car has consistently averaged 6.2 l/100 km (37.9 mpg). As contributing editor Paul Riegler noted on an 800 km (498 mile) drive from New York to Washington and back, “No need to stop for refueling.”
