F1 budgets off the chart, $4.3 million per point
Filed under: Motorsports, BMW, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Earnings/Financials, Ferrari, Renault  Ever wonder how expensive it is for a manufacturer to compete in Formula 1 racing? Not surprisingly, it ain't cheap. Each of the successful teams spend hundreds of millions of dollars on their programs, but success is not necessarily tied in to how much dough was spent. For instance, Ferrari, winners of this year's constructor's championship with 172 total points, spent about $2.4 million per point in 2008. McLaren and BMW, numbers two and three respectively, spent a bit more than that figure, but still under a cool $3 mil. Honda and Toyota, though, had budgets nearly as large as the top-tier manufacturers yet scored significantly fewer points. In fact, Honda's meager 14 points cost the automaker over 28 million buckaroos a piece, making theirs the most expensive points of all. On average, teams spent about $4.3 million per point. No wonder the sport is looking to cut its budget as soon as possible. Thanks for the tip, Keith!

MINI dealers abroad asked to create separate stores
Filed under: Euro, Marketing/Advertising, BMW, MINI  Click above for our John Cooper Works MINI and Clubman high-res gallery European MINI dealers are being asked to distinguish their stores from the BMW brand by creating a separate showroom for sell the British/Bavarian small-car. This entails new main entrances, and dedicated reception and service desks. While most of the dealers in the United States currently operate in this manner, most European retailers still share space with BMW. If dealers don't move enough volume to justify the investment, they will be dropped. In 2007, there were about 750 MINI retailers in Europe. That number is expected to fall to about 650 by the end of this year (worldwide, MINI has about 1,500 dealers in 70 countries). Unlike nearly all other automakers who are experiencing a sales slump, MINI's global sales are reportedly up more than 12 percent for the first nine months of 2008 -- no doubt credited to their diminutive size and fuel efficient engines.

Brabham races back into the scene with trio of custom BMWs
Filed under: Aftermarket, Motorsports, Tuners, BMW, Misc. Auto Shows, UK
It's hard to make a BMW M3 any more bad-ass than it already is. Fortunately Brabham Racing is up to the task, as you can see from the image above. If the name sounds familiar, it could be because it's one of the best known names in racing. Or at least it was. Founded in 1960 by legendary Australian F1 driver Jack Brabham, the racing constructor went bust from financial liabilities in 1992, but not before winning the F1 drivers' title four times and the constructors' crown twice with such noted drivers as Dan Gurney, both Damon and Graham Hill, Niki Lauda and Nelson Piquet. Brabham's own 1966 title remains the only championship won in a car bearing its driver's name. Now after a nearly 16-year hiatus, Brabham is back, and it's starting out by modifying BMWs. Brabham will be offering modded Bimmers for road and track, and will be showcasing a trio of street-legal Bavarian monsters at the upcoming Essen Motor Show in Germany. They will include the M5-based BT 60, the X6-based BT 70 and the M3-based BT 92 you see above. Little else is known at this point, but you can bet we'll be keeping our eyes peeled. Press release after the jump.

VIDEO: BMW Performance releases 3-Series teaser
Filed under: Sedans/Saloons, Videos, BMW  We're always up for a new 3-Series, and a performance variant straight from the manufacturer is even better. It looks like a new Bimmer is forthcoming from BMW performance, and the post-jump YouTube video shows just enough to keep us intrigued. We can catch a few details, and from what we can see and hear, this new performance Bimmer sedan will likely be faster and lighter than the standard 3. What it doesn't look like is an upgraded M3, as the front air dam isn't as large or aggressive as its M-powered sibling and it's lacking the M's quad-tip exhausts. What we do see is BMW Performance badging, carbon fiber side mirrors, and plenty of plastic molding to keep the souped-up 3-Series closer to the ground. BMW did mention that we'd see the new Performance 3-Series in its entirety some time in November, and we'll be first to show it to you when it hits the Internets. Hit the jump to view BMW's 40 second teaser video, and make sure to turn up your speakers.

VIDEO: BMW Performance teases new 3 Series model
Filed under: Sedans/Saloons, Sports/GTs, Videos, BMW  Click above to watch video after the jump We're not quite sure what BMW is up to, but the automaker from Munich is hosting a video on its website (at bmw.com/performance) that features a fairly normal-looking 3 Series sedan surrounded by a ring of fluorescent light tubes. The few bits and pieces we can make through the epileptic seizure-inducing light show are a small set of blue LEDs right under the headlamps, carbon fiber mirrors, yellow calipers, a rear deck-lid spoiler and sill plates that read "BMW Performance". The rear end looks like it may have a new lower valence, and the wheels are certainly large for a 3 Series sedan. This new BMW Performance model could slot right below the M3 and go about its merry way without drawing attention to itself like the M model does, or else the website could be showing the myriad amount of accessories that are available for the 3 Series sedan from the factory. Either way, the website claims we should come back in November to learn more, so perhaps BMW's webmaster should go look at a calendar and get back to us. Check out the high-quality video for yourself after the jump.
