BMW Kite, METROPOLIT and Isetta 2020 Concept cars at IAA Frankfurt 2005
Source: IAA Frankfurt 2005 / Text: Ilir Dibrani


Walking at the IAA in Frankfurt I passed through a hall where there were some oldtimers.
I have considerable interest in oldtimers, but sometimes I'm more interested in what the future brings!
In a little corner, with almost no other people, I found a couple of BMW concept sketches, from 3 students at 2 different universities.
One of them in Saint Petersburg, Russia, the other one in Graz, Austria.

The concepts have been drawn as futuristic cars, which might be your future means of transportation!
The 3 concepts have all got their own personalities, and are powered (ofcourse) by engines of the future.
The design of the BMW Kite (the first of the 3) has been aspired by bones and skin.
Whereas the BMW METROPOLIT is a flexible city-car with a professional formal design.
Last, but not least, there is the BMW Isetta 2020, which is ofcourse based on the old Isetta, but transformed into an idea for the future.

Munich, 16 September 2005. BMW and Nick Heidfeld will embark on a joint future in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship in 2006. The Munich automobile manufacturer has concluded a three-year contract with the racing driver from Mönchengladbach (28). This fills the first cockpit in the new team run by BMW. BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen comments: "For us, a new era in Formula 1 will begin on 1 January 2006 when BMW takes over the team operated by Peter Sauber. We are very pleased that Nick will be with us in what will undoubtedly be a difficult initial phase. He is not simply a fast and courageous driver, he is also an analytical and meticulous worker. Nick already knows the two sites in Munich and Hinwil, and is familiar with everybody involved."

BMW Active Hybrid: X3 EfficientDynamics
Source: BMW Group

Presenting the Active Hybrid Technology Concept at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show BMW is unveiling trendsetting drive technology for efficient dynamics based on a very special concept car: The BMW Concept X3 EfficientDynamics combines intelligent technological solutions based on superior drivetrain, transmission and energy storage components.
The transparent side-sill trim, for example, offers the beholder a clear view of the copper-coloured electrical energy storage units forming part of the BMW Active Hybrid Concept.

The big advantage of this concept is that it enhances both the spontaneity and the dynamics of a car on even less fuel than before thanks to the regeneration of energy for an additional electrical drive system.
The BMW Concept X3 EfficientDynamics is a breakthrough in technology clearly showing that the dedicated motorist may by all means still enjoy sheer driving pleasure also in future, combining supreme dynamics with equally supreme fuel economy.

BMW presents the motorsport version of the new 3 Series at the IAA.
Frankfurt (GER), 12th September 2005. BMW defines the direction for the future – this time in touring cars. From 12th September, the Munich automobile manufacturer presents the motorsport version of the new BMW 3 Series at the 61st International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt. From 2006, the car will be competing in the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) and in many other racing series around the world.

The 275 bhp racing car was developed by BMW Motorsport. It is the racing version of the special model BMW 320si, which will be on offer from BMW dealers as a limited edition from December 2005. Like its production counterpart, the motorsport version of the BMW 320si will be driven by a powerful 2-litre four-cylinder in-line engine. The car complies with the Super 2000 regulations and is 45mm longer and 36mm wider than its predecessor.

With this car BMW will continue the tradition of customer sports in 2006. Apart from the World Touring Car Championship, in which BMW competes with national teams, the successful racing version of the BMW 320i is also racing in Championships in Denmark, Italy, Russia, Sweden and Asia. Until now, more than 100 racing sports kits of the E46 series have been sold to motorsport teams by the BMW racing parts distributors.
