Here’s GINA impressing us with flexibility. The traditional metal bodywork has now progressed to what the stunning BMW GINA roadster displays, a fabric skin providing a hi-tech visionary look.

Durable material stretched over a wire frame allow GINA’s look to change with the flick of a switch. The bonnet splits down the centre like a zip bag, doors open like wings, while the headlights close like eyelids when not in use. GINA’s interior is just as flexible, dials and switches are hidden out of sight when not in use.

Despite being nearly eight years old! The car still looks as fresh as it does thanks to BMW’s Chris Bangle and team. To build the GINA, the chassis and V8 engine from the Z8 roadster were taken and dressed to impress.

The GINA hasn’t only been designed to turn heads as Chris Bangle in the video below explains the ideas behind the process of sculpturing an experimental study.

CarMagazine “broke” the news announcing the BMW M1 Hommage Concept will be making its way into the production, but BMW Blog disagrees, ”As much as we would love to see the BMW M1 Hommage making it into production, that will not happen.”

CarMagazine  in thier July issue will reveal key project details including:

• The timetable for production
• The three-strong powertrain line-up
• The lightweight body construction
• The plan for ‘heron-wing’ doors, and a driver-focused, multi-layered interior

Has BMW Blogs saved us from this Hommage. Only time will tell.

The new BMW X6 isn’t launched in the UK officially until the end of next week, fortunately Kieron from here.org.uk managed to see the X6 in the flesh and take a few pictures.

Overall, Kieron’s review summed up, the pictures deceive the X6, when you see the X6 in the metal, it features tons of presence with aggressive attributes.
The X6 is reasonably priced with the option of 3 engines, the petrol 35i at £42,730, the diesel 30d at £41,965 and the diesel 35d at £44,145.

I defiantly agree with Kieron when it comes to the lack of standard equipment. I speculate in 2009 when Audi realise the Audi Q5 with more standard equipment then the X6, BMW will then revise the X6, improving the standard specification to push for sales.

When trying to sell your car, what approach do you take to entice customers interest? Well Mr John Conner has decided to take the “true Jedi Pimp” pitch.

Mr Conner’s 2002 BMW M3 has been listed on autotrader.com boasting modifications such as; Gruppe M intake, Remus exhaust, Fully adjustable coilover suspension, AC Schnitzer rear spoiler, AC Schnitzer roof spoiler, AC Schnitzer clear corners, LED tail lights with smoke colored lenses.

It becomes clear to one, this M3 appeals to a certain market, so Mr Conner decided to list details of just how rewarding driving such a car is:

“This car has gotten me laid so much it is ridiculous. I would like pull up to a pimp club in Scottsdale and the valet would crap his pants, but I wouldn’t let him park it. I just leave it up front and make sure all the ladies saw me get out. I’m also totally ripped so that helps too. I inject myself with pure bull shark testosterone and lift 4 hours a day. My diet also consists of 24 egg whites a day. I’ve got a killer 6 pack and some delts that you would not believe. I only hook up with 9s and 10s. Never less because I’m a winner! I’m not saying this car will do the same for you but it’s a start. If you’re interested in taking the first step to becoming a true Jedi Pimp email me at conner.john2@gmail.com. I’ll probably be working out so I’ll get back to you as soon as I finish my protein shake (and probably hooking up with a hot chick).”

What do you think, is Mr Conner “a winner”, or is this a sign of desperation with a hint of ego issues?
