BMW M5 Scotland Future Cars Concept

The BMW was built by the Motorsport division of BMW which is a high performance version of the BMW 5-Series executive car. The first incarnation of the M5 which was hand-built utilizing the 535i chassis and a modified BMW M1 engine was introduced at the Amsterdam Motor Show in 1984, being the fastest production sedan in the world at the time of its introduction.

The BMW M5 was preceded in 1980 by the M535i which was the third road-going automobile to emerge from the BMW Motorsport workshop. While the BMW M1 was limited-production and purpose-built sports cars, the M535i was a reworked 5-series sedan fitted with the powerful BMW M30B35 engine. Read the rest of this entry »

Popular Cars for Men

Women tend to be more practical when it comes to purchasing cars, preferring safety, agility and control. Men, however, tend to opt for things like style, speed and intense power. Let’s take a closer look at some of the most popular cars for men.

Dodge Magnum
This is the perfect car choice for men as it has an extremely powerful engine (engine choices start at 190 horsepower and go all the way up to 425hp Hemi V8s), huge wheels and a style that oozes ‘menace’. For the men that want their car to drip with power and energy, this is certainly the one to go for. Vroooooom!!

Infiniti G35
Men seem to possess a need for speed when out on the roads and this little beauty can certainly deliver. The G35 has a 306 horsepower meaning it doesn’t deal with corners too well, but not many men care when it jets away from the traffic lights with such rapidity and beautiful finesse. While the Dodge Magnum provides power and strength, the Infiniti G35 is the choice for extreme speed. Read the rest of this entry »

What Does the Future Hold For Car Audio

What Does the Future Hold For Car Audio

With technology rapidly improving and new products appearing every month, car audio is improving exponentially. This poses a problem though, with things moving so fast how is it possible to keep up? The trick is to be one step ahead of the game and make sure all future purchases are future proofed.

So what’s in store for the car audiophile? We are starting to see the next stage of technology emerging into the market with the Fusion CA-iP500 and the Sony DSX-S100. Both of these units are classed as Digital Media Receiver’s, meaning that they do not use CD’s. This seems like a major leap that is perhaps a step ahead if itself however with the likes of Sony now producing these units it’s a safe bet that other manufacturers have got similar products in the pipeline. Digital units have the advantage of being able to navigate and utilise iPods and MP3 players, allowing you to carry your whole music collection and listen to it whilst driving. In the next few years my prediction is that all car audio brands will look at going for purely digital stereos.

Bluetooth, already a massive feature in today’s car stereos but expect to see this as a basic feature much like Traffic information. The functionality of Bluetooth is also improving; it is now possible to stream music over Bluetooth directly from your phone or computer. Future advances will probably involve pulling up phone books and more phone controls being integrated with the head unit.

The design and functionality of future stereos will include improved screens, perhaps true LCD, HD even. Faster response times and generally improved user interfaces. Built quality is already on the rise with cheap car stereos being able to keep up with the more expensive units.

Whatever the future holds for car stereo, much like the rest of technology, it will continue to improve at an amazing rate. Advances over the last 5 years have been huge with colour screens and MP3 compatibility becoming major features almost overnight. Looking for the latest features and a little research will enable you to stay ahead of the game and make sure your unit is not yesterday’s news before you have even fitted it.
