The 2010 Rolls Royce Ghost may well be the baddest addition to luxury sedans worldwide, and by bad I mean good.
Yes, the latest luxury sedan put forth by Rolls Royce is solidly positioned as a sort of entry-level piece, with a price tag of around a quarter million dollars.
Entry-level, you ask? Well yes, with the knowledge that sibling Phantom is $380,000. Today’s Ghost also seems to be a bargain when compared to predecessors the Silver Ghosts, which ran from 1906-1926 and are valued well into the millions.
In a cool move, Columbia police have obtained permission to use a seized BMW as a patrol car. This is a guilt-free move, as the police will have the luxury cruiser to use scorn-free, as it was not purchased with taxpayer dollars.
The confiscated car is a 2008 BMW M3, which was taken after the owner was charged with drug possession following the investigation of a DUI crash. As the rules go, officers are free to seize vehicles involved in such acts, if the courts concur that said vehicle was used to transport felony amounts of drugs. Under these guidelines, the Columbia police are free to use this luxury car, morphing it into one cruiser sure to extract jealousy among other officers. I wonder if they will flip a coin to see who gets to use the BMW police cruiser? I personally prefer the Lamborghini police car, but who is comparing.
Want a bit more power in your luxury car? How about 888 horsepower? G-Power, a German tuning company that focuses on BMWs has enhanced a BMW X6 to put out insane power, let’s discuss how.
Recently, BMW has used a V10 to power its illustrious M Series, spitting out 500 horsepower. Both the BMW M5 and M6 have the V10 engine. The company has now opted to use a V8 twin-turbo for the X6 and X5 M Series models and the new M5 is expected to use the new V8 as well.
It is exciting to read about the increasing volume of luxury hybrid cars peeling out of the woodwork (or steelworks), so to speak. Meet the BMW 335d, a pretty and green luxury hybrid than anyone would be proud to drive. I decided to revisit this model, as it seems to be making headlines and to give a bit more tech details.
Not only is the BMW 335d a looker, she features clean diesel technology. Yes, there is a diesel engine in the form of a 3.0-liter bitrubo inline 6 powerplant, just like the Europeans have! My regular readers know that I have been jealous of their green toys for eons, so this is certainly music to my ears!
The 335d is still a BMW from every angle, and the handling is phenomenal! So why diesel? The luxury company realized that hybrid engines are still on the heavy side, which translates to poor fuel economy. For the moment, it seems a clean diesel is a solution while further developments continue with regard to hybrid engine technology.
So what are the perks of choosing the BMW 335d? How about 23 miles per gallon city and 36 highway? Yeah, that will do it. And the interior is as lavish as one would expect from BMW, so those miles spent behind the wheel will be a pleasure!
As with a majority of diesel or hybrid technology, there is a higher sticker price because it is a new development, and those cost money. On the bright side, consumers are not likely to scoff at paying a bit more for something that will save them so much more on fuel costs over time.
The diesel system in the 335d uses BluePerformance urea injection, allowing it to be sold in all 50 states under new fuel and environmental guidelines. Yes, even in California, where guidelines are considered the toughest. BluePerformance basically enlists a solution known as AdBlue to transform oxides into nitrogen gas and water vapor. This works with a specific filter to reduce overall emissions and produce a cleaner greener luxury car.
Who doesn’t turn their head when a nice car goes by? If you live in Miami or LA than it might be more typical to see a luxury car rolling down the street. I guarantee no matter where you live or how many exotic and luxury cars you see, you will appreciate the pictures below. Imagine Lifestyles has complied 20 interesting pictures of luxury cars, some in very odd places. Enjoy the pictures below.
Wherever you have luxury cars, you will have someone trying to steal them. So it was no shock to read about an elaborate scam that occurred in Miami-Dade county targeting luxury rental cars.
The plot of the scam involved the perpetrators renting exotic and luxury cars from companies in various counties, using fake identification. Once they had possession of the luxury cars, they would proceed to create a fake title for each vehicle, and then attempt to sell the vehicle for half-price to overseas clientele.
This week Imagine Lifestyles is showcasing our luxurious BMW X5 SUV rental. This BMW SUV rental is offered in Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York. Vacations are for indulging, are they not?
The BMW X5 rental is one of the brand’s first crossover SUVs. The cabin is spacious enough for your larger group, yet still oozes luxury like a BMW sedan. In fact, the interior is reminiscent of the BMW 7-Series sedan. The second row seating is oversized with climate and audio control for superior passenger comfort.
We recently set out to determine what luxury cars Chicago residents are driving these days. It is always helpful for us to observe what people are driving and what people think is the next great luxury car as we continue to grow our fleet. There was no scientific formula used but I think most locals would agree that the following five cars are the most common in the city.
1) Range Rover HSE
2) BMW 750
3) Mercedes S550
4) Audi A6
5) Porsche Cayenne
I will be visiting South Beach soon with my family of four. I already know that I will need to rent an SUV, but am curious about the advantages of renting a luxury SUV rather than a standard SUV rental. I know that South Beach is on the swanky side, and want to indulge in the vibe as a whole. Could you give me some tips?
