Auto 2011: 2011 BMW 528i

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

BMW has now released a more budget conscious 528i model after debuting the 550i and 535i earlier this year. The budget conscious 528i is starting at $45,425 – including the $875 shipping fee.

For the record that’s $1,400 less than last year’s 528i and along with an entirely new chassis and body, the new 528i gets one other major improvement – an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The 3.0-liter inline-six 528i model makes 240-hp and 230 ft-lbs of torque, an improvement of 10-hp and 30 ft-lbs respectively. The added power, plus he new 8-speed auto box combine for a 6.6 second 0-60 mph time – a half a second faster than the previous gen 528i.

Options on the 528i include Xenon headlights, Active Blind Spot Detection, Lane Departure Warning, a Heads-Up Display and the Dynamic Handling Package which includes Driving Dynamics Control and Dynamic Damping Control.

No fuel economy numbers are available, but they should increase by a noticeable margin. And this July, the 2011 528i will be in dealerships.

Auto News: Zone 1 and Premier Walkabout ticketholders now enjoy an enhanced experience at the Marina Bay Street Circuit

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Race promoter Singapore GP has made an announcement that the Singapore Flyer will be fully integrated into Zones 1 and 2 of the circuit park for the 2010 FORMULA 1 SINGTEL SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX.

It will allow Zone 1 and Premier Walkabout ticketholders complete access to the Singapore Flyer grounds. The partnership with Singapore Flyer allows grandstand and hospitality suite ticketholders at the Pit, Turn 1, Turn 2 and Republic (Turn 3) Grandstands, as well as Formula One Paddock Club and Premier Walkabout spectator’s unlimited rides (subject to capacity) on the giant observation wheel.

Paddock Club and hospitality suite guests will have dedicated express lanes to board the Singapore Flyer, which offers a unique vantage point of the Marina Bay Street Circuit some 165 meters above the track. The new integrated layout further enables Zone 1 ticketholders to better explore the Circuit Park, which has also been expanded to include the Double Helix Bridge this year.

New Double Helix Bridge offers a fantastic panoramic view of the city skyline and selected sections of the track. For convenience, a new gate exclusively for zone 1 ticket holders (including Premier Walkabout) will be installed on the 280-meter long pedestrian bridge, linking the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort to the Circuit Park.

Enhancing further the spectator’s experience, Singapore GP will be incorporating live entertainment at the Singapore Flyer premises, such as the outdoor amphitheatre, as well as bleachers* at strategic locations along the trackside for Premier Walkabout ticketholders to enjoy excellent views of the race and the pit entry.

All the Zone 1 ticket holders will continue to have access not only to the exclusive offerings in that zone, but also access to Zone 4’s main entertainment stage.
