A couple of days we shared a tip with you concerning BMW’s Geneva Show line-up. To be exact, we had two tips, one from a BMW PR who informed us about a worldwide debut of a concept and another one from a friend who works for the Bavarian company saying that BMW will present the new M3 at Now I just got my hands on BMW’s Geneva Show English press-release. Here’s the part we’re all interested in: “BMW is taking advantage of the most important annual motor show on the European continent to launch a variety of world premieres and to present a spectacular concept study”. As I noted in our previous post, I’m more than certain that the concept BMW is talking about is the pre-production version of the upcoming 2008 M3 which will probably premiere at the Frankfurt Show in October. -Continued: Click "Read More…" below to check out the official press release

PRESS RELEASE: The BMW Group at the 77th International
BMW is continuing its model offensive. With attractive new features and fascinating technical innovations BMW will be attracting attention on the global car markets in 2007, too. At the 77th International Auto-Salon in
Furthermore, the latest innovations in the drive and chassis sector as well as advanced driver assistance systems will be exhibited. The current engine range highlights once again the great progress achieved in the area of efficient dynamics which has been BMW’s development focus for a long time. The consistent application of this principle leads to the fact that the new models presented at the international Auto-Salon not only offer the highest level of driving dynamics in their respective competitive class, but also the best fuel consumption and emissions ratings.
The new BMW 5 Series and new BMW 1 Series will be presented to the public for the first time at the International Auto-Salon 2007. With a sophisticated design, an extensively upgraded interior, the innovative advanced driver assistance systems, lane departure warning and active cruise control with a Stop & Go function as well as a thoroughly renewed engine range, the new BMW 5 Series sedan and the BMW 5 Series Touring are also raising the standards once again in their segments. In the case of the new 6-cylinder engines with 2nd-generation direct fuel injection, the effects of applying the efficient dynamics principle become especially apparent. The BMW 523i and BMW 530i models have both increased output by 10kW combined with considerably lower fuel consumption and 15 percent lower CO2 emissions compared to the respective predecessor model.
The new BMW 1 Series, still the only compact model with rear wheel drive, will also be presented in a three-door body variant for the first time. The new version of the BMW 1 Series combines fascinating driving fun with further improved efficiency and exemplary emissions ratings. Under the hood there are the newly developed 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engines which herald a new dimension of efficient dynamics. In the new, 130 kW BMW 120d, CO2 emissions have been reduced to 129 g/km and in the new 105 kW BMW 118d they have been lowered to only 123 g/km.
In addition, the Auto-Salon in
