New BMW X5 4.8i M Sport


BMW rolls out its first-ever M version of its X5 sport ute, which can go from 0 to 62mph in 6.5 seconds and has a top speed of 150mph





BMW's ever-popular M Sport derivative is to be introduced to the new X5 range for the first time. The introduction of M Sport to the BMW X5 range has been eagerly awaited by buyers as 90 per cent of models sold to date have been ordered with "Sport" specification. On sale immediately in most countries, the new 355 bhp flagship offers customers a substantial level of sports-orientated standard equipment, a 0-100 km/h time of 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 150 mph.

The new BMW X5 4.8i M Sport comes equipped with 19-inch V-spoke M light alloy wheels, Sports suspension, M Aerodynamic body styling, Sports seats, matt aluminium surround to the side window frames, high-gloss Shadowline roof rails, Anthracite headlining and M leather steering wheel. Customers wishing to further differentiate their cars can also choose to upgrade to 20-inch M V-spoke light alloy wheels.

The new BMW X5 4.8i M Sport will be available in six colours: Alpine White, Black Sapphire, Carbon Black, Monaco Blue, Space Grey, Titanium Silver. Inside and Nevada leather upholstery is standard and is available in Black, Grey, Beige and Saddle Brown hues. Dark Walnut interior trim is standard on the X5 4.8i M Sport but customers can specify Brushed Aluminium, Dark Bamboo or Light Poplar at no additional cost.

Power for the car comes from a 4,799cc engine fitted with Bi-VANOS and VALVETRONIC variable valve technologies to produce 355hp. The advanced engine is capable of propelling the car from zero to 62mph in 6.5 seconds before going on to a top speed of 150mph. The 4.8-litre powerplant still records 22.6mpg on the combined cycle and emissions of 299g/km – both figures that better rival products from Porsche and Audi.

The introduction of a new variant to the X5 range comes as the sales figures reveal that the model is exceeding original expectations.

The BMW X5 4.8i M Sport costs UKP53,440 OTR in the UK. M Sport will be offered on 3.0d and 3.0si models later in 2007.

Car Donation

If you are thinking of donating your car to some charitable organization, you are indeed helping them to administer their affairs. In the United States, you will find many organizations that are in need of a car donation. Donating a car can help the non-profit organizations in many ways and can also help them in procuring money to run their affairs. When you donate a car, it can be sold as a whole or sold off for its parts. The proceeds of the sale can be used in so many ways for instance helping the weak in the society, for disabled, for animals or for those in need. Car donations thus have become a great means to help charity. In this way, people can simply offer their unwanted vehicle to a charity. Further, the charity either has a lot where the car is sold or has an auction company take care of the sale.

In most of the states in the United States car donations are tax deductible. This reason has made car donations quite popular. The IRS even has a form just for those wishing to get the tax deduction. Also the charity you are going to donate needs to have a non profit status with the IRS so that you can be eligible for tax deductions. Hundreds of non profit organizations have started to adopt car donation programs as a way to raise funds or to provide themselves with no-cost vehicles to help operate their programs. But rather than managing the car donation programs themselves, they will often turn to fundraising organizations to actually handle the donation and auctioning of the vehicles.
