<br />
<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw">BMW</a> has an Environment Test Center (ETC) that can test a car in a variety of environments - sun, ice, snow, rain - all of them indoors. As great as that would be for parties, they appear to put it to actual work, testing the engine and cooling systems in roadsters like the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/z4">Z4</a> in 113 degrees Fahrenheit. The facility can also get down to 14 degrees, conjure wind up to 150 miles per hour, and even mix it up with snow <em>and</em> wind <em>and</em> rain.<br />
<br />
Icemistress Katarina Witt dropped by to take a tour, and while they did make a bit of ice and snow for her, they also took a lot of simulated sunny day pics and made a little movie. Follow the jump to watch the video (<em>auf Deutsch)</em>, and have a look at the photos in our high-res gallery below.<br />

Rumormill: BMW said to be working on Z Spyder Stradale
 

<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/convertibles/" rel="tag">Convertible</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/sports/" rel="tag">Performance</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/rumormill/" rel="tag">Rumormill</a></p><a href="http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=387193"> <img vspace="4" hspace="0" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/05/zpyder.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Eager to demonstrate that it hasn't forgotten its "Ultimate Driving Machine" roots among all the front-drive city cars and crossover abominations, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw">BMW</a> is rumored to be working on a new supercar to cap its lineup. Said to be a pet project of chief executive Norbert Reithofer, the tentatively-dubbed Z Spyder Stradale could serve as a successor to the Z8 roadster while demonstrating the company's technologies in a new package.<br />
<br />
Spyder Stradale was a name given to a special version of the '40s-era 328 MM (similar to the Buegelfalte model recently <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/05/3-8m-1962-ferrari-superamerica-boosts-record-45-million-at-rm/">sold in Monaco</a>), and follows the likes of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/5+series+gt">5 Series Gran Turismo</a> and the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/23/beijing-2010-bmw-surprises-with-concept-gran-coupe/">Gran Coupe</a> in employing evocative Italian nomenclature to "sex up" the otherwise conventional alphanumeric nameplates typically used by the German automaker. The form, meanwhile, reportedly calls for a long hood, short rear deck and low-slung seating position - not unlike the production <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/z4">Z4</a>, then. Carbon fiber construction would figure large in the vehicle's body panels, possibly including a two-piece retractable hard-top made of the lightweight woven material and active aerodynamics. <br />
<br />
Power could come from a variety of sources - including a V8 or even rescuing the V10 engine from the outgoing <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/m5">M5</a> - coupled to such Efficent Dynamics features as start/stop engine management, regenerative braking and even a mild hybrid system incorporating an electric motor into a dual-clutch transmission with as many as nine gears.<br />
<br />
Sources suggest a debut in concept form at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/Frankfurt-Motor-Show/">Frankfurt Motor Show</a> next year, with a possible market introduction by 2014. This all sounds mighty promising, but with the current economic climate, we can't help but wonder if the Spyder Stradale would be destined to serve strictly as a show car. <em>Thanks for the tip, pshinmd!</em><br />

The Next Big Debate: Hardware or software?
 

<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/etc/" rel="tag">Etc.</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/tech/" rel="tag">Technology</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/audi/" rel="tag">Audi</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/ford/" rel="tag">Ford</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/gm/" rel="tag">GM</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/lexus/" rel="tag">Lexus</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/mercedes-benz/" rel="tag">Mercedes-Benz</a></p><a href="http://www.autoobserver.com/2010/05/automakers-grapple-with-new-age-dilemma-software-or-hardware.html"><img hspace="0" border="0" vspace="4" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/05/synconstar.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
More tech in your car? Oh, that's inevitable. But automakers are trying to figure out the best way to implement it. There are two main architectures currently; tethered and embedded. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/">Ford's</a> <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/SYNC/">SYNC</a> is an example of a tethered tech-integration system that uses Bluetooth to connect to mobile devices consumers already own and carry with them. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm/">General Motors'</a> <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/OnStar/">OnStar</a> system is an embedded setup that builds the technology into the car. Going forward, the consensus seems to be that we're going to see systems that combine elements of both. <br />
<br />
A tethered system is typically less costly than an embedded alternative, and it works with equipment you already own and know how to use. Systems like Sync can extend the functionality of your gear and is an attractive option to tech-savvy consumers. The lower cost makes it possible to proliferate these kind of features into more models, instead of just being a high-end feature. However, embedded systems offer advantages of their own. With communications hardware built in to the vehicle, performance is more reliable, and safety can be enhanced by tying in to the vehicle's crash sensors and stability control to automatically call for help if it detects a severe accident. <br />
<br />
True to the cliche, it seems that the young'ins are more comfortable with tethered systems, while older generations prefer embedded systems. OnStar is already starting to do this, opening up the system in <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/volt">Chevrolet Volt</a> applications with a mobile app that lets drivers connect to their car even when they're away from it. The future likely holds a system that combines aspects of both, enhancing safety, beating back obsolescence and drawing on the strength of each technology to deliver the best experience as cars continue to become more sophisticated. <br />

BMW teasing 2011 X3 well in advance

<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><sma ll>2011 BMW X3 teaser shots - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em></div>
<br />
The 2010 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/paris-motor-show/">Paris Motor Show</a> may be five months out at this point, but that isn't stopping manufacturers like <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw/">BMW</a> from getting the ball rolling on the long, slow, aggravating striptease of new models. The German manufacturer has just dropped a few sneaky shots of the all-new 2011 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/x3">X3</a> for the motoring world to start speculating over. So what do we see? A hood, a taillight, a few body lines and not much else. <br />
<br />
It's clear that the hood now wears similar styling to what you'll find on the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/3+series">3 Series</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/5+series">5 Series</a> thanks to a few more contours than the previous piece. Beyond that, we don't know too much about the new Bavarian high-rider other than it can whip up a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/09/breaking-bmw-x3-prototype-reportedly-causes-bomb-scare-outside/">bomb scare</a> in a hurry.<br />
<br />
Judging from the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/06/spy-shots-2011-bmw-x3-out-and-about-in-munich/">spy shots</a> we've come across thus far, we aren't expecting particularly dramatic changes to the X3's exterior. A reworked fascia is likely to join the new hood and taillights, and there is some talk of a four-cylinder engine making its way under the hood for the first time. <br />
