2011 BMW 335i Car Review

March 15, 2011 / Staff

A Bullz-Eye.com staff member recently reviewed the 2011 BMW 335i from inside and out. Check out what he had to say and then let us know what you think of this ride!

The 2011 BMW 335i Sports Sedan was an eye catcher from the moment I laid eyes on it. The 335i takes advantage of every inch of sheet metal and exudes the confidence BMW drivers expect.
Exterior

The Montego Blue Metallic paint on the 2011 BMW 335i that was delivered for our review looked strong, sleek and ready to rock and roll. The 18-inch alloy star spoke wheels fit nicely under the wheel-well for a look that was both sporty and all BMW. The 335i has the classic twin kidney grille, which might be the most recognized luxury car grille on the market. This classic BMW face includes xenon adaptive headlights with dynamic auto leveling, corona headlight rings and halogen headlights on a very well thought out front end. The lines of the 335i are muscular and low to the curb, which gives the car a close to the road look while still holding on to the fact that the 335i is a sports sedan.

New 2012 BMW 650i Coupe looks incredible!

March 14, 2011 / Staff

Insideline.com takes a peak at the 2012 BMW 650i Coupe and it looks incredible!

The 2012 BMW 6 Series Coupe has been revealed some four months after the 2012 650i convertible was shown at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

And it’s pretty much exactly what we expected this 2 + 2 coupe version of the convertible. We’re not advertising copywriters so we’ll let them take over the inspiration for the new look, “The new interpretation of the traditional BMW Coupe proportions is embellished by lines and surfaces inspired by the movement of waves. Flowing lines and harmonious curves create a feeling of athletic grace, complemented by extremely classic and eye-catching design features which underline the opulent character and elegant appearance of the two-door BMW.”

Right. Moving on to the fun stuff.

The 2012 650i coupe comes with the company’s twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 producing 400hp between 5,500 and 6,400 rpm and 450 lb-feet of torque between 1,700 and 4,500rpm. Transmission options are a six-speed manual — which BMW says is popular with North American enthusiasts — and an 8-speed automatic. 0 – 60 comes up in 4.8 with either one.

2011 Nissan Murano Cross Cabriolet First Drive

March 9, 2011 / Staff

In their latest car review, the team at Bullz-Eye.com takes a look at the 2011 Nissan Murano Cross Cabriolet First Drive. Take a look at the review and let us know what you think about this ride!

After arriving in San Diego this past weekend, Bullz-Eye finally had the chance to drive the all new 2011 Nissan Murano Cross Cabriolet and luckily, the weather was just about perfect. Going into the drive I really didn’t know what to expect. As sharp as the Murano Cabriolet looks, I had to keep reminding myself that this is a crossover and not a sport coupe. Nissan is coming off a 2010 where they saw market share increase .04% and overall sales jump 18%. Obviously the company wants to keep the momentum going into 2011. (FYI: Nissan North America sales were up a whopping 31% in February 2011.)

We met with Nissan prior to the drive on Saturday and learned that Nissan continues to look for innovations. I would say a crossover convertible qualifies as innovation and a new segment with its crossover functionality and open air access. Nissan described the 2011 Nissan Murano Crossover Cabriolet as a “convertible without compromise.” The lack of a B pillar, higher utility and more space than anything on the market really set the Murano apart.

After seeing the Murano up close when I first arrived and learning more about the impressive model, I was ready to get behind the wheel. We took off from L’Auberge Del Mar with the temperature in the mid 60’s and a line of Muranos ready to get at it. I first noticed how sharp the low profile soft top looks on the Murano Cabriolet, highlighting its sleek silhouette. The taillights are reminiscent of the iconic Nissan 370Z and Nissan Maxima. The soft top opened and tucked away with the press of a button and took less than 25 seconds, which was very impressive. Once the top was down, everything in the interior jumped out at me – I couldn’t help but notice the smooth edges in the cabin and the wraparound feel that reminded me of a luxury yacht. The plush double-stitched leather seating comes standard and the unique tuned wood grain really dresses things up. The flashy but classy 20 inch split spoke titanium finish aluminum alloy wheels also stood out. Nissan apparently paid very close attention to detail when designing and building the Murano Cabriolet, as evidenced by the unique dual pop up roll bars for rear passengers. The roll bars are not only a very smart safety feature but look really cool and add another sporty flavor to the vehicle.
