			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The all new 2012 F30 BMW 3 Series Sedan will be arriving onto Australian shores in a matter of days.  And <a href="http://www.colcrawford.bmw.com.au/" target="_blank">Col Crawford Motors</a> will be launching the model before months end.<span id="more-2145"></span></p>
<p>Here is a little recap on the history of the BMW 3 Series – Our Bread and Butter!<!--more--></p>
<p>Some 35 years ago, the arrival of the first BMW 3 Series identified the beginning of one of the most notable success stories in BMW model history. We were introduced to an entirely new vehicle that was both compact and sporty.  And then there was the most distinguished design feature of the front, which became BMW&#8217;s biggest and most recognizable feature even from a distance – the BMW kidney grille.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifestylecars.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bmw-feature-kidney-grille.jpg" rel="lightbox[2145]" title="bmw-feature-kidney-grille"><img class="wp-image-2158 alignleft" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial;" title="bmw-feature-kidney-grille" src="http://www.lifestylecars.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bmw-feature-kidney-grille-300x108.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="97" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><!--more-->In the years since 1975, the face of the BMW 3 Series has constantly developed. The designers have always managed to incorporate dynamics, innovation and aesthetics into a well balanced, modern and future-oriented overall concept, whilst at the same time maintaining BMW&#8217;s traditional values.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As a result, each BMW 3 Series has retained its unmistakable brand identity and can be identified as a BMW at very first glance.</p>
<p><!--more--> DRIVING SHOULD BE A PLEASURE.</p>
<p><!--more-->Every BMW is meticulously designed with near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution and rear-wheel drive to give you more precise steering, maximum traction and greater control. Put simply, it makes our cars more fun to drive.</p>
<p><!--more-->When the 6th generation of the Ultimate sports sedan launches on 25 February, it will feature state-of-the-art engines, unequalled technology, which will include optional full-colour Head-Up Display that projects key data on the windscreen so you can take in information without taking your eyes off the road.</p>
<p><!--more--><a href="http://www.lifestylecars.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bmw-3-Series-since-1975.jpg" rel="lightbox[2145]" title="bmw-3-Series since 1975-Photo courtesy of F30Post"><img class="alignright  wp-image-2161" title="bmw-3-Series since 1975-Photo courtesy of F30Post" src="http://www.lifestylecars.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bmw-3-Series-since-1975-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="162" /></a></p>
<p>Reading about the all new BMW 3 Series Sedan in the enclosed brochure is one thing. Experiencing it for yourself is quite another.</p>

<p>Labelled Australia’s Best Cars – Best Sports Car under $80,000 - the <a href="http://www.colcrawford.bmw.com.au/com/en/newvehicles/1series/coupe/2011/showroom/introduction.html" target="_blank">BMW 135i Sport Coupé </a>wins for the 4th year running.<span id="more-1986"></span></p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1992 alignleft" title="BMW135iCoupe1" src="http://www.lifestylecars.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/BMW135iCoupe1.jpg" alt="" width="286" height="168" />Beating its stiff competition &#8211; the likes of the VW Golf Trilogy, the Subaru WRX, Audi&#8217;s TDI TT &#8211; the judges declared the BMW 135i Sport Coupé  as &#8220;the complete driver’s car”.<!--more--></p>
<p>In 2011, BMW 135i Coupé saw a price increase of $2200, but that simply was not enough to knock it from its pedestal.<br />
Since its introduction in 2008, it has cemented its status as a champion among the BMW family and as the ultimate driving machine.</p>
<p>Not only blessed in the looks department, it has the performance to match &#8211; an almost perfect 50/50 weight distribution, RWD, tuned suspension, superior braking system and a comprehensive tyre and wheel combination.</p>

<p><!--more-->At the heart of this machine, there is the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with 340 horsepower. If that doesn’t mean anything to you, then see it as 30bhp more than the Porche Boxter S!!!….Oh yes!    <!--more-->The Acceleration is ferocious &#8211; taking just 4.9 seconds to reach 100kmph. Its top speed is electronically limited to 250kmph.  And with a variety of parts taken from to its bigger sibling, the M3, the braking performance would without question, be extraordinary.     </p>
<p><!--more-->BMW are confident the 1 Series M should record a much faster lap than the E46 BMW M3, on the infamous Nordschleife.  </p>
<p>The <a href="http://http://youtu.be/1spzeR-giq4" target="_blank">BMW 1 Series M Coupe</a> is on sale now since May, with prices starting from $108k.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, what a year it has been for the new model GT-R. First up it collected &#8220;World Performance Car&#8221; and we are thrilled to let you know that is has won the highly coveted MOTOR Magazine Car of the Year. The GTR has redefined supercar benchmarks across the world. <span id="more-301"></span></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think I could have summed it up better myself, with Motor Magazine saying -</p>
<p>&#8220;The gob-smacking GT-R is without doubt the superstar of the moment and a landmark in Japanese automotive technology and expertise…&#8221;</p>
<p>We look forward to brining you more news on the new GT-R, and if you are a Col Crawford GT-R customer, stay tuned for announcement GT-R event soon.</p>
