BMW i100 Coupe Active Hybrid to launch in 2013
A new report out of Germany is suggesting the production version of the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept could be called the i100 Coupe ActiveHybrid when it is launched in 2013.
While we cannot confirm this, it does sound like a peculiar name for a range topping model. It obviously attempts to break away from the "series" based nomenclature and draw some inspiration from the M1 moniker, but i100 seems more likely to conjure up thoughts of the 1-Series.
Further BMW X4 details surface
New details have surfaced about BMW's X4 crossover.
According to Auto Express, the X6's sibling will be based on the2011 X3 and feature coupe-like styling. The model is also poised to receive the innovative twin-hatch system (from the 5-Series Gran Turismo) and individual seating for four.
Under the hood, engine options will carryover from the X3. This means we can expect a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel with 181 hp (135 kW / 184 PS) and a turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six petrol with 300 hp (225 kW / 306 PS).
An X4 concept will likely debut next year and, if public reception is good, BMW could put the model into production as early as 2012. If approved, the X4 would compete with the Land Rover Evoque and Mercedes GLC.

Lumma and Shaston SA preview BMW 760Li technology concept
Switzerland's Shaston SA, an international distributor of Windows Mobile devices, has sent us several pictures of theirBMW 760Li Individual concept.

Other styling tweaks include carbon fiber trim (on the mirror caps, grille, side vents, and trunk) and sporty alloy wheels.
World's first dedicated BMW M Division dealership opens in Singapore
The world's first BMW dealership dedicated to M models has opened in Singapore.
While details are limited, MunichAutomobiles will only carry the M3, M5, M6, X5 M, and X6 M. As such, the dealerships boasts plenty of M signage and a huge poster of historic M models.
Overall, the whole idea is a little crazy. Singapore has an insane automotive tax (a new M3 costs $300,000+) and the M lineup is a little weak right now as the M5 (E60 / E61) has ended production.
Will Munich Automobiles be successful? Will there be additional M-only dealerships? Only time will tell.
2011 BMW X3 with M-Sport package revealed
BMW has released new details about the M Sports package for the 2011 X3.
