Setting the Pace: BMW X6 M debuts as MotoGP safety car

</small> <br />Coupes, sedans, convertibles, even sport-wagons... BMW's venerated Motorsport division - known to all the world by the letter M - has tuned all sorts of vehicles from the Bavarian automaker's lineup, but with the launch of the new X5 M and X6 M, this is the first time the tuning division has been tasked with tweaking a crossover or SUV... or anything with four-wheel-drive, for that matter. Purists might view it as a bridge too far for the garage that has turned out such precision driving tools as the original 3.0 CSL, the exotic M1 and the spectacular M3, but Munich's marketing department has evidently wasted no time in assuaging those doubts by putting the new X6 M on the track as quickly as possible, and in one of the most speed-crazed, testosterone-infused forms of motorsport on the planet: MotoGP.<br /><br />Fresh off the floor of Manhattan's Javitz Center, where it <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/08/new-york-bmw-pulls-sheet-off-x6-m/">debuted at the ongoing New York Auto Show</a>, the X6 M debuts this weekend Qatar as the official safety car of the MotoGP race at Losail. The new M-tuned "sports activity coupe" joins a paddock full of vehicles provided by BMW to serve as safety cars and trackside VIP transports, including the M6, M5 Touring and M3. This marks the eleventh season in which BMW has partnered with MotoGP. <em>Follow the jump to read more in the full press release, and check out the pair of images of the X6 M safety car by clicking the thumbnails below.<br /></em><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x6-m-motogp-safety-car/">BMW X6 M MotoGP safety car</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x6-m-motogp-safety-car/1488010/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/x6m-motogp2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x6-m-motogp-safety-car/1488009/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/x6m-motogp1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /><br />[Source: BMW via MotoGP]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/12/setting-the-pace-bmw-x6-m-debuts-as-motogp-safety-car/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Setting the Pace: BMW X6 M debuts as MotoGP safety car</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/12/setting-the-pace-bmw-x6-m-debuts-as-motogp-safety-car/">Setting the Pace: BMW X6 M debuts as MotoGP safety car</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Sun, 12 Apr 2009 11:33:00 EST.

Audi, BMW ad war taken to the streets of SoCal

Autoblog reader Conor sent us this photo of Santa Monica Blvd. in Southern California where a billboard advertising the new Audi A4 has apparently been up for months. The ad throws down a gauntlet at the feet of BMW with an image of the new A4 and the statement, "Your move, BMW." Whether by design or by happenstance, the Munich-based brand recently made its move, hoisting up a billboard across the street that displays the high-performance M3 and the word "Checkmate." Ouch. We're sure Audi will have more to say when the RS4/5 arrives sometime in the near future, but for now, BMW appears to have the final word in this billboard chess match.<br /><br />As you'll likely remember, these two brands are no strangers to duking it out with each other in advertisements, having gone <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/08/ad-fight-audi-bmw-and-subaru-take-each-other-on/">toe-to-toe with each other and Subaru</a> in late 2006 over which brand had the most prestigious "Of the Year" award. <em>Thanks for the tip, Conor.</em><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/13/audi-bmw-ad-war-takes-to-the-streets-of-socal/">Audi, BMW ad war taken to the streets of SoCal</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:59:00 EST.

BMW Motorsport division to sell dedicated racing components?
 
<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/motorsports/" rel="tag">Motorsports</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a></p><a href="http://www.bimmerfile.com/2009/04/03/exclusive-interview-bmw-performances-stephen-zoepf/#more-2640"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/bmw_motorsport_racing.jpg " alt="" /></a><br /><br />BMW has an M Division that creates masterworks like the M3 and the automaker also has a Performance Division that creates accessories for those of us that might want an M3 but need to think of other things, like the kids' college education. Now it's been revealed that BMW has another division coming: a Motorsports Division that will sell racing components.<br /><br />The revelation came at the end of an interview with Stephen Zoepf, the Accessory Development Manager at BMW Performance. Zoepf said the Motorsports arm will create competition parts from "bodies in white, to higher capacity brake pads." Of course, he couldn't comment on specifics, but to have BMW provide factory-engineered racing-spec parts is a huge present to every track-day BMW-phile. It won't give you the cojones to pilot the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/10/bmw-m3-gt4-to-campaign-in-nurburgring-24-hour-enduro/">M3 GT4</a> above, but you might be able to look and sound like the guys who do.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.bimmerfile.com/2009/04/03/exclusive-interview-bmw-performances-stephen-zoepf/#more-2640">BimmerFile</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/15/bmw-motorsport-division-to-sell-dedicated-racing-components/">BMW Motorsport division to sell dedicated racing components?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 15 Apr 2009 10:59:00 EST.

BMW introducing upgraded maintenance coverage... for a price
 
<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/maintenance/" rel="tag">Maintenance</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/bmw_service_580.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />These days, all new BMW models sold in the United States are delivered with "BMW Ultimate Service." The package includes the BMW Maintenance Program, Roadside Assistance, and the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. In a nutshell, it means that fuel and tires are the only service costs owners of new BMW models pay for during the first 4 years/50,000 miles of ownership. In the past, BMW has allowed owners of certain models to "upgrade" and extend the term of the program, but not all vehicles were eligible. <br /><br />As of today, the German automaker has announced that a "Maintenance Program Upgrade" will be offered for all BMW models (except the ALPINA B7). The program generously covers factory scheduled services and most wear items for up to 6 years/100,000 miles. However, it doesn't come cheap. The announced MSRP of the extension ranges from $1,395 to $2,995, depending on the model. <br /><br />

Maintenance Program keeps vehicles well cared-for and more valuable in the pre-owned marketplace," says Alan Harris, Vice President of Aftersales for BMW of North America.

If there's one thing you can count on the internet, it's that everyone has an opinion and they aren't afraid to deliver their two cents. So when <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/13/audi-bmw-ad-war-takes-to-the-streets-of-socal/">dueling billboards from Audi and BMW turned up on Santa Monica Blvd.</a>, the Photoshoppers got to work with what they felt would be appropriate counter responses. Some of those alternatives have turned up in the <a href="http://forums.fourtitude.com/zerothread?id=4346330">Fo urtitude.com</a> forums, a site dedicated to all things bearing four rings. <br /><br />Now, Audi is asking anyone who's interested in chiming in to post their own alternative billboard designs on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Audi-USA-News/78006150114?ref=nf#/pages/Audi-USA-News/78006150114">its Facebook page</a>. If you become a fan of the page and craft your own response, RSVP to the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Audi-USA-News/78006150114#/event.php?eid=68423502508 &ref=mf">LA Billboard War event</a>. Attendees to the event can upload their images for all the Facebook world to see and comment on. <br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Audi-USA-News/78006150114#/pages/Audi-USA-News/78006150114">Audi</a>]<em></em><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/17/audi-invites-fans-to-respond-to-la-billboard-war/">Audi invites fans to respond to LA billboard war</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 17 Apr 2009 10:01:00 EST.

Billboard War Redux: Audi shoots back, BMW turns away

<div align="center"><em><stron g><small>Audi vs. BMW billboards - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em><br /></div>
<br />The billboard war taking place between Audi and BMW in Southern California has taken yet another turn today. After Audi called out its cross-country rival by saying "Your Move, BMW" on a billboard overlooking Santa Monica Blvd. advertising the new A4, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/13/audi-bmw-ad-war-takes-to-the-streets-of-socal/">BMW responded</a> by renting its own billboard across the street that simply showed the M3 and "Checkmate." Audi then had some fun <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/17/audi-invites-fans-to-respond-to-la-billboard-war/">collecting photoshopped billboard responses</a> from fans on its <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Audi-USA-News/78006150114?ref=nf#/pages/Audi-USA-News/78006150114">Facebook page</a> before revealing its own retort. The new billboard, which reportedly went up today, shows the R8 supercar next to this proclamation: "Time to check your luxury badge. It may have expired." <br /><br />Huh?<br /><br />While the R8 is a great weapon with which to defend yourself against an M3 attack, the battle cry beside it makes no sense to us whatsoever. If this were a Yo Mama competition, BMW would be chest bumping Wilmer Valderrama right now and Audi would be crawling back into its hoopty for the long ride home.<br /><br />BMW did actually have a response for Audi. At some point the brand removed its M3 advertisement from across the street and didn't replace it. Audi is now battling with <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-bmw-ad-war-on-santa-monica-blvd/1499835/">an ad for Barney's CO-OP</a>... and losing.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-bmw-ad-war-on-santa-monica-blvd/">Audi vs. BMW Billboard War</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-bmw-ad-war-on-santa-monica-blvd/1499834/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/billboards-001_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-bmw-ad-war-on-santa-monica-blvd/1499833/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/billboards-002_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-bmw-ad-war-on-santa-monica-blvd/1499832/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/billboards-003_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-bmw-ad-war-on-santa-monica-blvd/1499835/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/billboards-005_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-bmw-ad-war-on-santa-monica-blvd/1499831/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/billboards-006_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/17/billboard-war-redux-audi-shoots-back-bmw-turns-away/">Billboard War Redux: Audi shoots back, BMW turns away</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 17 Apr 2009 18:58:00 EST.
