BMW modular engines: B37, B38, B47 and B48 | Greensboro, NC

 The new BMW modular engines were introduced one-by-one in the lineup and can be seen, or heard, in several BMW models. With a combination of three and four-cylinder units, the new B3x and B4x engine family powers a wide range of vehicles, from the new MINI to the upcoming BMW 2 Series Active Tourer.

Furthermore, the new BMW 2 Series Active Tourer F45 which launches in September will exclusively use engines from the new engine family, which can be built independently of the number of cylinders and combustion principle on the same band.

The BMW modular motors are suitable for both longitudinal and for transverse installation, so can be used with front-wheel drive and in the large BMW series of rear wheel drive, as well as in the smaller vehicles of the BMW Group. Incidentally, even the new BMW i8 uses a three-cylinder petrol engine (B38) transversely mounted and with 231 hp.

Another engine debut in the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is the B37 three-cylinder diesel which will power the 216d Active Tourer model. The 116-hp diesel unit with 1.5 liters of displacement was first previewed two years ago in an experimental 1 Series Hatchback and the so-called “baby-six” has impressed us during the short drive. Also used in the MINI Cooper D, the small but potent engine will deliver a standard fuel consumption of 3.8 to 3.9 liters – equivalent to CO2 emissions 99-104 grams.

Moving up in the range, the 218d Active Tourer receives the new four-cylinder diesel BMW B47 in its 150-hp stage. With 4.1 to 4.3 liters fuel consumption, this engine hardly consumes more than the weaker three-cylinder.

The most powerful diesel 2 Series Active Tourer, BMW 220d Active Tourer, comes with the 190-hp expansion stage of the B47. Fuel consumption is rated at an astonishing 4.4 to 4.6 liters. Both B47 variants will also come in the new MINI models as well as in models with the xDrive system.

In the gasoline range, the entry level is the 136 hp BMW 218i Active Tourer which uses the three-cylinder petrol engine (B38) also found in the new MINI Cooper.

The EU consumption in this case is 4.9 to 5.2 liters per 100 kilometers.

 In November, the BMW 220i Active Tourer will arrive as well with its B48 motor producing 192 hp. This engine is also used in MINI Cooper S F56 and is rated at 6.0 to 6.1 liters per 100 kilometers.

Customers looking for even more power for their front-wheel drive BMWs will have the choice to opt in for the 225i Active Tourer with a more powerful B48 variant: 231 hp and up to 350 Nm of torque.

In the case of the BMW 2er F45 225i, the engine is always combined with the automatic transmission, and on request, the xDrive traction can be picked as well.

Depending on the configuration, the standard consumption is 5.8 to 6.6 liter per 100 kilometers.

The extensive range of new BMW modular engines will continue to expand in the lineup, so we expect in the future a wide range of vehicles, from the 1 Series to the 6 Series, to be powered by them.

Automobile Manufacturers Ditch Side Mirrors in 2017 – Greensboro, NC

The 12-member Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which represents such companies as BMW, General Motors, Toyota and Volkswagen, filed a petition with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to use sideview cameras instead of mirrors.

tesla-model-X-prototype-front-left-side-view

Tesla and the Alliance argue that cameras could be just as safe while offering gains in aerodynamics. This is because side mirrors have to jut out farther from the car to be effective, and that creates drag.

“In light of future greenhouse gas and corporate average fuel economy requirements beginning in 2017,” their petition says, “camera-based systems represent an opportunity to increase vehicle fuel efficiency through improved aerodynamics by eliminating externally mounted mirrors.”

The filling goes hand in hand with the latest ruling by NHTSA that will require rearview cameras in all light-duty vehicles produced after mid-2018. Tesla sees eliminating side mirrors as a way to extend the driving range of its electric cars.

The use of 360 camera systems and rear view cameras come to support the filling and the automakers that safety will remain at the highest levels.

It remains unknown what BMW’s position is but we have no doubt that Elon Musk will continue to push this issue.

BMW Recommended Service Intervals- Greensboro, NC

Most people in the Triad area are aware that automotive manufacturers have recommended service intervals. Following recommended service intervals is very important. The engineers that design our vehicles have tested the various systems and components to meet durability and safety standards.

BMW-MINI Mercedes-Benz & Audi Schedule Service Intervals
Schedule Service Intervals

The maintenance schedules are designed to achieve the standards. Think of the benefits of following recommended intervals as falling into three general categories: Protection, Efficiency and Safety.

Protection. Let’s start with motor oil. First of all, the engineers recommend a particular weight and type of motor oil for your sedan. All of their oil change recommendations assume using the proper motor oil. Motor oil contains detergents and other additives that clean the engine and provide corrosion resistance. Over time, the additives are depleted. The oil also becomes contaminated by water, dirt and combustion gases.

Extending your interval beyond the recommendation means that your sedan engine will be operating without the full protection of fresh motor oil. It also means that sludge can form in contaminated oil and clog up passages in the engine, starving parts from needed lubrication.

Efficiency. Some services are designed to keep automotive systems operating efficiently. For example, the fuel system gets clogged up with gum and varnish from the fuel. Fuel doesn’t flow efficiently which reduces fuel economy. A fuel system cleaning restores the fuel system’s efficiency and increases your gas mileage.

Safety. Your brakes are obviously one of the most important safety systems on your sedan. The manufacturer has scheduled brake pad replacement as well as power brake fluid drain and replacement intervals. Because brakes are so important, a brake inspection is also on the schedule to head off problems before they result in an accident.

Check your owner’s manual for recommended service schedules or talk with an Expert service advisor at Eurobahn Motorsports by calling 336-542-3555. You’ll find our shop located at 303 S. Swing Rd, Greensboro North Carolina, 27409.

You may be surprised to learn that various inspections may be on your list of factory recommendations for your sedan. These inspections are usually at major intervals like fifteen or thirty thousand miles. They’re designed to uncover important parts that may be close to failing.

Your sedan owner’s manual can tell you when to change your oil, but it can’t tell you that you have a radiator hose that’s bulging and about to burst. For that you need a trained auto technician. These scheduled inspections are in addition to the multi-point inspections done with a full-service oil change.

Suspension Service in Greensboro, NC

When you hear the word ‘suspension‘, you may think back to those energetic days of grade school. Well, your car’s suspension is actually a good thing because it keeps your car up off the road and helps provide a comfy ride. It needs to keep your wheels firmly planted over bumps and through curves. Your suspension system has many parts. If you look under your car, it’s basically everything that connects your wheels to the car’s frame. These are heavy duty parts that do a lot of work. They need to be inspected for damage and excessive wear at least once a year. A good time for this is when you get your annual alignment service.

BMW Alignment Service Greensboro NC

Here are some warning signs that your suspension may have problems:

the car pulls to one side;

it wanders;

the steering is erratic;

you see uneven tire wear;

you experience a poor ride or handling;

you see oil leaking from shocks

. . . You just don’t feel in control when you’re driving.

Some suspension parts just wear out with use. Shocks and struts eventually lose their ability to control your ride. Wheel bearings need to be repacked every couple of years. And some suspension pieces need to be lubricated when you get your oil changed. Your service advisor at Eurobahn BMW Greensboro, NC can oversee an inspection and tell you what problems you may have.

If you’re in an accident, your suspension can be damaged or knocked out of alignment. Even a minor accident, like hitting a curb around Greensboro, NC or even a large rock can mess things up. With a minor accident it’s tempting to just get an alignment or wheel balance to correct the problem. But if there’s some damage, a simple alignment won’t actually fix the problem, and you’ll just have to align it again after the repairs are made. So if you have an accident, get your suspension system inspected right away. Suspension problems should be fixed immediately because they can lead to unsafe handling.

One big cause of suspension damage is potholes – those nasty magnets that seem to draw our tires right into them. Well, Here are some tips for avoiding damage from potholes: First, keep your tires at their full air pressure. That gives tires their maximum resiliency and will hopefully keep your wheels or other suspension parts from crunching on a big hole. Next, just pay attention. When you see a hole you can’t miss, slow down before you hit it. Driving at a slower speed will limit the damage, and may keep your drink from spilling. But don’t brake directly over the pothole. That will cause the car’s weight to shift forward and add to the potential damage. Schedule Your Appointment Today!
