BMW 8-SERIES EVOLUTION Sin City Screamer January 2006

Short Description
Building upon the idea of its luxurious 750iL sedan, BMW turned to a comparable 2+2 coupe for 1991. Introduced in June 1990, it served as the successor to BMW’s 635CSi coupe and cost even more than the 750iL. BMW’s familiar “twin-kidney” grille was installed, but the rear-drive 850i wore hidden headlamps, a feature never before seen on BMW models in the U.S.

Although its 296- horsepower, 5.0-liter V12 engine came from the 750iL, the new 850i was created with a more sporty demeanor. Either a 4-speed automatic or a new 6-speed manual transmission could be installed. Standard 850i features included Automatic Stability Control (ASC), which limited power to the rear wheels when wheel slippage was detected during acceleration. Models with manual shift got a different version, ASC + T, which also applied brakes to the rear wheels to restore traction. The 850i was the first model to use BMW’s new Seat-Integrated Belt system, which integrated the belt system into the seat instead ofA anchoring it to the floor and/or roof pillars. All 850i coupes had a driver’s airbag and antilock braking.

Technology that monitors itself
Many of the systems of your BMW monitor themselves automatically, both during engine starts and while you are driving. Indicator and warning lamps that are identified by ” l ” are tested for proper functioning whenever the ignition key is turned. They each light up once for different periods of time. If a fault should occur in one of these systems, the corresponding lamp does not go out after the engine is started, or it lights up while the vehicle is moving. You will see how to react to this below.
…
The key to security
Your BMW is equipped with a passive anti–theft system. This electronic immobilization system is designed to reduce the susceptibility of the vehicle to theft by making it impossible to start the engine using any means other than the special keys furnished with the vehicle. Your BMW center can cancel the electronic system authorization for individual keys (in the event of loss, for instance). A deactivated key can no longer be used to start the engine.

BMW Engine Oils Service Information bulletin

Short Description
Starting with the introduction of the 1999 3 Series (E46), BMW introduced an extended oil change interval of approximately 15,000 miles depending on engine operating conditions. The engine oil change interval of approximately 15,000 miles has been carried over to all 2001 BMW models. However, engine oil should be changed at least once a year. This revision (annual oil change) is retroactive to earlier model years and is included in the BMW Maintenance Plan. To coincide with the increased oil change interval, BMW also introduced “BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil” SAE 5W-30.

Synthetic Engine Oil Benefits
BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil SAE 5W-30 and Castrol RS SAE 10W-60 Synthetic Oil also called Castrol TWS Motorsport SAE 10W-60 Synthetic Oil offers several benefits over conventional mineral based oils.
These oils have been durability tested on BMW engines and supply superior lubrication under all operating conditions and over the extended BMW oil change intervals.
– Superior thermal stability
The synthetic based oil resists thickening at very low ambient temperatures providing improved flow, lubrication and less internal engine resistance during cold starts.
Under high heat conditions, the oil resists thermal breakdown/shearing which causes a loss of lubrication quality with conventional oils.
Using BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil eliminates the need for seasonal oil changes since it covers all ambient temperature ranges.

Crankcase Ventilation System Check For 1994-2007 BMW Engine Service Manuals

Short Description
All current BMW engines (M42 (from 1/94), M44, M52, S52, M60, M62 and M73 engines) incorporate a pressure-controlled crankcase ventilation system. If oil consumption issues are being diagnosed, this information can be helpful. The crankcase ventilation systems use various crankcase ventilation valves depending on the engine type as shown in Figure 1 below.

Website: www.enginebuildermag.com | Filesize: 349kb
No of Page(s): 5

Content
Although the valves all look different, they function similarly using a spring and diaphragm assembly to control the crankcase pressure. A properly functioning pressure control valve is designed to maintain a slight vacuum (approximately 10 - 15 mbar) in the crankcase which ensures reliable crankcase venting during all engine operating conditions.
A malfunctioning crankcase ventilation valve may cause the following complaints:
• Engine runs rough;
• Whistling noise from crankcase ventilation valve; and
• Check engine light on - possible DME faults stored: misfire all cylinders, oxygen sensor/mixture faults, etc.
To assist in troubleshooting the above complaints a special tool (p/n 99 00 0 001 410) has been developed to quickly check a pressure controlled crankcase ventilation system. Also refer to service information bulletin number 04 08 98 for further information regarding the slack tube manometer tool.

The concept
ABS increases active safety by preventing the wheels from locking when braking. The reason: locked wheels are dangerous. When the front wheels slide, the driver loses steering control over the vehicle. Traction loss at the rear wheels can cause the rear end to break into an uncontrolled skid. The system can achieve the shortest braking distances possible under most conditions (on straight-aways, in curves and on various road surfaces.). ABS is designed to meet two essential requirements during every brake application:
> To help provide vehicle stability.
> Assured ability to steer and maneuver on the various road surfaces (asphalt, concrete, dirt, wet conditions, snow and ice).
Braking with ABS
The system is operative once the vehicle exceeds a speed of approx. 6 mph (10 km/h). It is inactive once again below approx. 4 mph (6 km/h). Therefore, the wheels could theoretically tend to lock in the final phase of a braking action, but this is insignificant in actual practice. If you are in a situation which requires full braking, you will exploit the full benefits of the ABS system if you apply maximum brake pressure (”panic stop”). Since the vehicle maintains steering responsiveness, you can avoid possible obstacles with a minimum of steering effort, despite the full brake application.

BMW X5 4WD Wagon 3.0-Litre Automatic Road Test Report Repair Manuals

Short Description
The new 3.0 litre six cylinder BMW X5 4WD wagon is a welcome addition alongside the 4.4 litre V8 version as it costs $25,500 less, provides commendable levels of performance, returns better fuel economy than the V8, and still provides most (but of course, not all) of the V8 model’s desirable features.

Quite apart from whatever value you put on the BMW nameplate, that’s good value when you consider what this vehicle provides. The X5 can be everything from a luxury car to a family wagon, a cargo hauler, and even a reasonably capable off-roader (provided you don’t mind getting it dirty!). Under the bonnet is BMW’s acclaimed 3.0 litre DOHC straight six cylinder engine that also powers the 530i, 330i and Z3 models. It gives quite a spirited performance, considering the X5 weighs in at 2030 kg, and even sounds great under acceleration. Technology abounds in the X5, with all manner of controls designed to provide high levels of dynamic safety. These include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC III), Automatic Stability Control (ASC-X), Automatic Differential Brake (ADB-X), Hill Descent Control (HDC), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) and Anti-lock Brakes (ABS). The only suspension control system that the 3.0 litre model doesn’t get is self-levelling suspension with rear air suspension. Passive safety features in the X5 include 10 airbags, head restraints and lap/sash seat belts for all five occupants, and crash sensors included in the central locking system. Luxury equipment in the 3.0 litre X5 includes automatic climate control air conditioning, leather upholstery, CD player, power operated windows, exterior mirrors and tailgate, cruise control, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, and roof rails. Compared with the 4.4 litre X5, the 3.0 litre version misses out on electric front seats, the onboard monitor with TV and trip computer, a rear mounted CD stacker, park distance control, aluminium running boards and anti-dazzle interior and exterior mirrors. All of these items, plus satellite navigation, are available as options. High standards of finish are expected in a BMW costing $80,000-plus and the X5 doesn’t disappoint. Inside and out, it looks to be very well built, and the attention to detail is excellent. As for the V8 model, the 3.0 litre X5 offers good space in all five seating positions and there’s no rear floor hump to hinder a centre rear passenger’s comfort. The seats are firm, but generally comfortable, though there’s not a lot of lateral support when cornering. The luggage area is a good size for normal family requirements and the seat backrest folds in a 60/40 split when more load length is needed. The two-piece tailgate provides easy loading, though you have to stretch across the lower section to reach forward-placed items. The bottom tailgate section lowers to a horizontal position and could handily double as a bench or a seat at picnics.

BMW Financial Service Manuals VB6-to-C# Migration Case Study

Short Description
In the past, Visual Basic (VB) upgrades were fairly painless and inexpensive because Microsoft made new versions of VB backward compatible, but things are different this time. An upgrade to .NET brings with it a radical shift in terms of architecture, design, deployment, features, and tools. The upgrade will be even more challenging if you decide to move from the forgiving VB compiler to the rigorous C# compiler. Confronted with declining vendor and community support and major migration challenges, BMW Financial Services in Dublin, Ohio set out to define a strategy that would allow us to adopt C# in an efficient and deliberate manner. Our objectives were to minimize disruption and costs and leverage the momentum of the platform change to move our capabilities forward. This article presents our strategy and some of the experiences we are encountering along the way.

BMW Financial Services is committed to Microsoft technologies and has used Visual Basic (VB) as the mainstay of application development for over ten years. Our applications began taking shape in 1994, even as VB itself was still growing up. In early 2000, I was hired to manage the newly established system architecture team. We found ourselves facing a wide variety of architectures and coding styles. Although we are almost purely a VB shop, we had several different application frameworks and our code employed a number of different “standards” for common tasks. We also used over one hundred different third-party COM components. Our intent was to standardize our architectures and to implement more intelligent code reuse, but such changes are expensive and building a case purely on the basis of architecture goodness is near impossible.
By 2001, Microsoft had begun to promote its new, improved development platform: Microsoft’s next generation toolset that would become .NET. We decided that this new platform should become a key component of our standardization strategy. As luck would have it, in early 2002 we found ourselves at cross roads: we were about to embark on a major CRM package implementation. The package warranty did not allow us to use stored procedures – the other mainstay of our application development. We would have to use the package’s APIs. By now, .NET was entering the mainstream, particularly for developing middle tier web services. It was a match made in heaven: we needed a solid platform for integrating with the CRM package, and .NET fit the bill perfectly. By the end of the year, we had used C# (See Sidebar: Choosing a.NET Language) to design, build, and deploy a service-oriented middle tier that integrated our legacy applications with the CRM solution. More importantly, we had also educated management about the impending loss of VB support and got the go ahead to build additional .NET frameworks that would form the foundation for migrating to .NET.

Selecting a reception range Radio waves — medium wave, long wave and short wave — offer a wide range of reception, because the broadcast signals travel not only along the ground as surface waves, but also as waves bounced back to earth from the ionosphere. Frequency Modulation (FM) provides substantially better sound quality than Amplitude Modulation (AM). However, because FM transmissions rely on lineof- sight broadcast waves, their effective reception range is limited.
…
Thanks to specially designed systems, limitations inherent in mobile reception quality have been partially minimized:
The Radio Data System (RDS) transmits information in the FM reception range. RDS stations thus offer the following characteristics:
> The station name will be indicated in the display after the RDS signals have been evaluated
> Additional information can be indicated or called up in the display (e. g. text broadcasts from the station, PTY).
However, the reception of RDS data is only possible under favorable reception conditions. If there is weak or interrupted reception, it can take quite a while before the transmitter name appears in the display.

BMW Group Recycling Concept Manuals

Short Description
Sustainability ensured by the ecologically responsible use of resources and materials has been the fundamental policy of the BMW Group for many years. Long before lawmakers introduced appropriate legislation, the BMW Group had developed exemplary processes and methods for the sensible use, recycling and disposal of materials as part of a comprehensive recycling concept.

No of Page(s): 6

Content
Sustainability has been a firm element of the BMW Group’s corporate philosophy for many years and is one of the Group’s overriding corporate objectives. This consistent orientation has been duly recognised and acknowledged worldwide: Ever since the introduction of the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index in 1999 as the world’s most significant stock index for companies pursuing a process of sustained management, the BMW Group has been the leading company in the automotive industry ranking No 1 each year. This recognition of BMW’s sustainability strategy by the financial world is reflected within the Company inter alia by a thorough and comprehensive recycling policy.
The BMW Group not only promotes the efficient use of resources within the entire production process as well as the efficient recycling of end-of-life vehicles in accordance with environmental requirements, but also leads the way in recycling-oriented product design. Such “design for recycling” is indeed one of the three interacting core elements underlying the BMW Group’s recycling strategy. The other two core elements are the designation of materials and the Recycling and Dismantling Centre (RDC) in Lohhof near Munich, which is being upgraded to the status of a fully-fledged competence centre and technology forum for all questions of vehicle recycling.
…
The BMW Group follows a clearly specified procedure in designing parts and components for recycling. To meet recycling standards to the best possible extent from the very beginning in the design phase, recycling specialists first determine the demands made of the components involved. Then, cooperating with construction engineers, they develop solutions within a team. This partnership of interdisciplinary development continues throughout the entire process of product creation, that is from the first concept for a new model all the way to production standard. Benchmarks achieved in the process such as the time required for dismantling or the accessibility of components are revised time and again as work progresses.
