As well as being used for transporting an enormous range of items, truck owners today also often use their vehicles for trips with their children and pets. There is a whole range of truck accessories geared towards making their journey a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Travel with children

The most important thing to all parents when transporting their children is safety. Babies under 9 months (and 20lbs) should always travel in a rearward facing seat to help protect their fragile necks in case of an accident. Once they have reached 20 lbs (weight is more important than age) they can be moved to a forward facing seat. When buying a seat it is very important to check that it is suitable for your particular vehicle. Many manufacturers provide guides on their websites saying which of their seats are suitable for which vehicles.

There are many truck accessories available for parents of young children. Portable food coolers and warmers are fantastic for keeping food fresh and at a temperature suitable for an infant to eat. They can keep baby bottles warm and medicine cool! Sunshades help to protect children from harmful UV rays and stop them overheating in direct sunlight and special rear view mirrors can help parents to keep an eye on young infants in rearward facing seats.

For many parents the worst thing about travelling with children is that they get bored and begin to argue. Therefore it is well worth investing in a selection of travel games and books and a good storage system to keep them in so that the truck doesn't resemble a play pen!

Travel with pets

Pets have slightly different travel needs to children though they still require comfort and security. The most important travel accessory when on a journey with your pet is a good seat cover. The cover will ensure that the seats don't get covered in animal hair and will reduce that animal smell. You can even buy padded covers to give your pet an extra comfy ride.

A pet that can move about in a vehicle is a danger to itself and the other occupants of the vehicle and it is therefore necessary to install some sort of safety barrier. This could be a backseat barrier so that your dog can't come between the front seats to join the driver or a partition to separate the dog from other occupants of the back seat. Dog vehicle harnesses are another way to stop a dog from roaming and also give the added safety of a safety belt so that in the case of an accident your beloved pet is not injured by being thrown around.

If you happen to require something that can help you preserve the accessories that your car has, then buying car sun shades will help you. What these shades do is that they protect the interior of your car from the harshness of the sun. These also helps maintain your car's interior cool, so you could go in and stay inside without feeling too hot.

Car sun shades are accessories for your car that get installed inside the driver and passenger sides respectively. As simple as these accessories function, they can really help since they not only protect your car from the harsh sunlight, they also provide protection to your car's seats, seat covers as well as the electronics inside.

The following are what car sun shades can do to your car's interior:

1. Protects the car's interior from harmful rays coming from the sun - Harmful rays, like ultra violet or UV, become more concentrated as they enter the earth's atmosphere. Not only are UV rays harmful to the skin, they can also be harmful to surfaces that are laid open to them for certain lengths of time. For example, if your dashboard and your car's seat are constantly exposed to UV rays. They can also make your car's seat covers fade. When you install some car shades, you can prolong the life of your car's interior by a significant amount.

2. Dramatically lower the heat that builds up inside your car - Car sun shades function by blocking as well as reflecting the sun's harmful rays in order for the car's interior not to become too hot especially when you go in. These also make sure that the steering wheel doesn't get too hot since the heat can burn the palms of your hands.

3. Protects your car's electronics - Leaving a speaker system exposed to the harsh light of day can damage it. At times, it can damage your car's electronics so badly that they will no longer be able to work. So it can be a good thing for you to have car sun shades to prevent your car's electronics from getting worn out.

Car sun shades won't cost you much. They are available from any nearby auto supplier. There are also some available to order online. However, when you search for some of these accessories while on the Net, be sure to only make deals with a reputable and reliable site in order to not be a victim of some shady deal. After you finally get your car sun shades installed, you'll be glad to know that your cars interior will no longer have to suffer from the onslaught of the sun.

As one of over 140,000 attendees at CES, I sometimes felt as if I were a lemming going along with the flow from one exhibit to another mostly in awe at the whole extravaganza. If there was any cohesive theme it had to be centered on the concept of digital integration. It was evident in the inter-connectivity of devices in lifestyle and environments for the workplace, home, and automobile.

Microsoft's impressive exhibit illustrated the concept of interconnectivity the best with on-going presentations and exhibits illustrating the integration of their software and services.

HP and other booths illustrated how digital technology can be used in every room of the house for convenience, comfort, productivity, security, and entertainment. Many exhibitors addressed only some aspects of the integration possibilities. For instance there were many booths devoted to home security and the remote control of other home applications such as sprinklers, garage door, heating/cooling, hot tub/pool, lighting, video cameras and more. Some of the systems even integrated the use of a Windows Mobile device as a remote controller.

One entire hall was devoted to HD TV, video applications, furniture, sound, gaming, and mounting systems. With the advent of widescreen HDTV, a whole new style of furniture and interior design has emerged along with the home theater with special seating, sound systems, mounting, and connectivity considerations.

By the way, I think I'd put my money on Blu-Ray as the winner of the HD format war. Unless, by the time the dust settles, there is an entirely new format available.

There were games galore with special controllers and furniture. Judging from the cacophony coming out of some booths, the air guitars seemed to be the most popular, but that's wandering astray from the handheld computing world--well, actually not. Hands-On Mobile of San Diego, CA, currently offers Guitar Hero Mobile.

The automobile is certainly a new focus and profit center for the integration of digital technology. Ford and Microsoft have teamed up to offer voice recognition, Bluetooth connectivity, and GPS. For several years Ford has offered Sirius satellite radio, but now it will combine MSN features such as emergency road service, live traffic and road conditions, gas prices, routing and rerouting.

The President of General Motors gave a keynote presentation indicating that GM has a few tricks up its sleeve as well. The rest of the automotive world will not be far behind.
What amuses me, however, is that all these "new" features have been part of my automobile environment for years, thanks to my trusty Windows Mobile devices with a few peripherals. But, I suppose the average person would prefer a more simple integration approach with everything already built-in.

Mobile Computing Devices

While I tried to take in everything, I'm sure I missed some nifty stuff because it was all just so overwhelming. However, I did try to focus on two things: new Windows Mobile devices and UMPCs.
I found several new WM6 devices, which I will review thoroughly as soon as I receive the evaluation units from Asus, Samsung, HP, Motorola, and Verizon. I was surprised at how few new devices were announced or released for the show. I'm not sure what HTC is doing and was never able to catch up with them, but they are getting more closed mouth now that they are working with carriers and marketing under their own name. Definite picks for best new releases include the Motorola Q9h, the Samsung shi760, and a new powerhouse iPaq Windows Mobile 6 classic release.

Since my article on UMPCs when they first emerged a couple of years ago, I have been watching to see if they would survive. While they have not and will not replace the Pocket PC, they have certainly established a respectable niche in the market. I was delighted to see several new models available.

I will be receiving units from Samsung and Asus for review and will share my findings soon. Suffice it to say for now that both companies have listened to user input and responded accordingly. You can look forward to many improvements and innovations in this evolving platform.

Apart from the big name brands such as Sony, Panasonic, and so forth, there were hundreds of booths in the Hilton and Sands venues with smaller manufacturer wannabees exhibiting some treasures, but you have to dig for them. Accordingly, I found a couple of manufacturers of great Windows Mobile devices and some really innovative UMPCs, which I hope to receive for review as well.

As for peripherals for our beloved pocket pals, I found a few gems that I will make part of my permanent pack.

Hands-Free Driving and Music

I'm always on the lookout for a good Bluetooth headset and headphones. I found both at the Jabra booth. My favorite is the Jabra BT8030 Bluetooth speaker and headphones. This is a first-time combination that is unique of the market. You can remove the headphones, fold them out, and they become speakers that broadcast your sound with Ziree Power Bass for a surprisingly full, rich sound environment. These are a must have in my mobile pack.

My only criticism of this otherwise brilliant product is that you cannot charge it via a USB connection. However, you can expect up to 32 hours listening time on a single charge and up to 600 hours standby time. They weigh just under 11 ounces. The suggested retail price is 0, but shop around and you can probably do better.

I'm always on the lookout for a comfortable BT headset that won't fall out of my ear that is lightweight and not too ugly. Jabra came to the rescue again with its new JX20 Pura, an elegantly crafted tiny titanium headset designed by Jacob Jensen the renowned Danish designer. It weighs less than a bird's beak so that you don't even know it's there. You can listen to music with it too when you're not talking on the phone.

Its charging cradle is a work of art that will grace your desktop too. You can expect up to six hours talk time, and it can be charged in your car or via USB as well as AC. The sound quality is superb, and there is an automatic volume control.

This classy device will set you back as much as 9, which is a bit steep considering that you can buy a Bluetooth headset now for as little as , but you get what you pay for.

Mobile Video Just Got Better

One of my all-time favorite applications is getting better and better. I can't imagine life without my Slingbox and SlingPlayer for my Windows Mobile devices which allows me to view my favorite live and recorded TV shows anywhere in the world with no monthly fees.

The reason I say it just got better is that with the newly released Pro-HD; you can watch full HD streaming and access multiple video sources. You can use it to stream HD video around your house to a desktop or laptop too. SlingCatcher will be coming soon, and it will make it possible to access your home video output from any video site on the Internet.

SlingPlayer 2.0 now comes with Clip+Sling, an application that allows you to record and send snips of videos, which is fun and extremely useful. Congratulations to SlingMedia for being one of the truly innovative companies in the digital universe.

Video Eyewear

I have a another pick for CES favorite-MyVu.com, which is a video viewing solution for portable devices. While this company seems hung up on iPods, it also offers a universal viewer that is supposed to work with all video output portable devices. What you get for 9 is a pair of glasses that projects video output as if you were viewing it on a 27 inch screen. It's a wonderful concept, but I'm not certain yet just what you can project. It was such pandemonium in the booth that I couldn't get any satisfactory answers.

My viewing experience was that the image seemed small, isolated, non-involving, and low resolution. It could be that the game I was watching was not up to par as far as output is concerned, but what I saw left something to be desired.

Now, if you could view the output screen of your Windows Mobile device and anything that it displays in the same resolution that appears in the palm of your hand, this would be a worthwhile gadget indeed.

My.Vu offers the Crystal 701, which is an elegant hand-free viewing eyeware device with earbuds and VGA resolution and a USB rechargeable battery with up to 4 hours viewing time.
There is also the shades 301 model with sunshades and up to 10 hours viewing time. You can also get the Edge301, which is a more compact design for hands-free viewing with earbuds and a 4 hour rechargeable battery. Check it out at www. myvu.com.

As I progressed through the show, I noticed that there were other similar devices. In fact, there are many competitors in this market, but none as established as MyVu. Another competitor that seemed a good solution is Vuzix, a company that produces consumer video eyewear, medical devices, and tactical display-ware for the military.

The VR920 device simulates a 62" viewing screen but costs 9.95. The ultimate model costs 9.00. What a great way to enhance the mini screen on your handheld device. Clearly, this is a wining application that extends the limitations of Windows Mobile device small screens.

Mobile Scanning and Printing

I recently submitted an article to Smartphone and Pocket PC magazine on some of the tools I recommend for mobile productivity. I mentioned a portable scanner and printer that I try to avoid toting unless I know for certain I will need them. That was before CES and my discovery of an incredible pair of products from PlanOn with its DocuPen and petite printer.

I almost passed this booth as I had my eye on a fancy robot down the aisle when an attractive woman asked me if I had ever heard of a DocuPen. She was waving what might be a high-tech wand at me that Harry Potter would be proud to possess. It looked like a somewhat oversized ball point pen.

The demonstration blew me away, for all you have to do is wave it over any document or graphic, and it will record it in black and white, grayscale, or 24-bit full color.

It comes with PaperPort scanning software, weighs 1.75 ounces, runs on rechargeable lithium Ion batteries and features a micro-SD expansion card for additional storage. A Universal Mobile Charger accessory is good for up to 55 charges when a power source is not available.

Pair the DocuPen with the PS900 Printstik via Bluetooth, and you have a powerful mobile solution. Of course you can also transmit a scanned image to your Windows Mobile device if you wish to use it in a PowerPoint presentation or email it. Of course, you can print images already in your mobile device too.

The PrintStick is a mere 1" x 1.9" x 11" and weighs 1.9 pounds including the thermal paper and cartridge. It prints up to 3 pages per minute on 8.5" wide sheets. A cartridge will print 20 8.5 x 11 inches pages. Power options include AC 120-240, DC 12/24V, and rechargeable Lithium-ion battery.
The suggested retail price is 9 for each unit. Accessories are extra. In any case, this winning combination could be worth its weight in gold on the road in emergency situations. I'm glad that lady waived her wand at me and that I didn't turn into a pumpkin. Check it out at http://www.planon.com.

MagicJack

I have one more amazing little device to share with you that impressed me even though it is not exactly in the handheld realm. It's the MagicJack, a unique VoIP solution. We've all heard of Vonage and Skype no doubt, but along comes MagicJack with a totally new approach to VoIP. Imagine a little box about the size of a pack of strike anywhere matches with a USB male plug extending from it.

Just plug it into any PC USB jack, plug a regular analog phone into the other end, and start talking. Local and long distance calls are free. This phone system has all the bells and whistles you would expect from an expensive landline account such as voice mail, call waiting, and caller ID. It even has call forwarding so that you can forward calls to your mobile phone, which justifies its inclusion in this article, I suppose.

The only cost involved is to buy the device for .95, which includes the first year's service. With each account, you get an actual phone number that people can call in the normal fashion with any phone from anywhere. Thereafter, it's .95 per year, not per month, per year. Never pay the phone company again!

Keep connected

So you have just bought a new Impala. So far you are impressed with the way it drives; you get a smooth and quiet ride and are surprised by the features that were packed in it for the price. However it looks like every other Impala on the street. It has got no flair or individuality. That's where Chevrolet Impala accessories come into play. Aftermarket accessories can do a lot to make your new car unique to you. Whether it is custom grills or wheels making your car look unique can be a great way to express you.

There are very large selections of after-market auto accessories that can be used to personalize your Chevy Impala from bumper to bumper. Custom grills are just one of the Chevrolet Impala accessories that catch people's eyes. Custom grilles with interesting patterns and designs can also be found to match your personality. Whether it's a billet grill design or a simple mesh, the front grill can say a lot about you and your car. The high polish chrome grills have a nice look and can add class to your car.

Other Chevrolet Impala accessories you might see are wheels. These custom wheels enhance the look of your vehicle whether it is in motion or not. Simple emblems and badges also make quite an impression. Many people like the look of a car with a lot of polished chrome. Chrome looks good on wheels, door handles, mirrors, rocker panels, pillar post, grills and just about anywhere else on a car. There are also interior accessories to make the inside of your car feel more like home. Other popular accessories include led interior lights, custom floor mats, drink holders, pedal covers, steering wheel covers, seat protectors, sunshades, dash covers and wood dash accent trims just to name a few.

There are many useful Chevrolet Impala accessories out there for you. There are GPS navigation units, enhanced antennas, in seat DVD players, or rear-view backup cameras. For example, rear view cameras allow you to see behind your car making backing up and parallel parking much easier. Plus GPS units make it easy to find your way to new destinations and make sure you can always find your way home, no matter where you go. In seat DVD players can entertain kids while on long car trips reducing tension caused by a restless child.

If performance is your forte or preference, adding a little bit of performance stuff won't hurt either. Rev it up a notch or two with air filters, air intake systems, upgrade brakes and brake pads, performance exhaust systems, spark plugs, oil filters, power programmers, boost controllers, performance chips and upgrade suspension systems. Impala Performance Parts add horsepower to your car and allows you to gain maximum performance from point by point.

Because of the extreme amount of time most of us spend in our vehicles, it makes absolute sense to make it as comfortable and appealing as possible. Remember, too many cooks spoil the broth; too much accessories will turn a simple work of art into a circus. Pick the right interior, exterior and performance accessories that are compatible with your scheme. When it comes to accessorizing your Impala, there is no ending in how many accessories that is available, the key is to pick accessories that are functional and compatible to your styling arrangement. Keep in mind; it is very easy to spoil the car with unnecessary accessories.

Cadillac automobiles are very popular vehicles and they offer a wide range of features and designs straight from the factory. However, if you have very specific tastes and needs, or if you are a car fanatic, you might be wondering what you can do to give your Cadillac a more personalized look and feel. If you want to know how you can design your own Cadillac CTS with custom aftermarket accessories, this article has the information that you need.

Today, there are quite a few CTS models available from Cadillac. These include a Sport Sedan, Coupe, Sport Wagon, and CTS-V Sedan. There is also a CTS-V Coupe. The CTS models all feature a contemporary design, the classic Cadillac emblem, and luxury interiors.

There are a number of customizations that you can request when purchasing one of these vehicles from your local Cadillac auto dealer. For example, you can select the power of the engine, the type of wheels that are included, and what types of headlamps or tail lights the car need to have. In addition, you can also request backup cameras, sport spoiler, molded splash guards, heated seats and much more.

For car lovers who want to personalize their Cadillac automobiles, the factory options may not be enough. If this is the case, there are many companies that sell a number of products that can help you further customize your Cadillac.

Today, you can purchase custom floor mats, trunk spoilers, rear roof spoilers, painted sport vents and chrome accessories for your car. If you love the look of chrome, you can outfit your Cadillac with chrome fender trim, mirror cover overlay, license plate frames, stainless exhaust tips, door handle covers, and pillar posts. Chrome products will last for a very long time and they are also very eye-catching. For the interior, there are also accessories to consider; navigation system, monogrammed floor mats or molded floor liners, seat savers, sunshades, audio upgrade and wood dash trim kit.

If you want to make the front of your Cadillac look even more appealing, you might want to consider adding a custom grille, chrome fog light bezel or a lower accent grille. Custom grilles come in a wide variety of materials, such as aluminum and stainless steel, and finishes, like color match, chrome and silver. Many custom grilles are made from high quality metals that are incredibly durable and they will also stay clean. Lower accent grilles, on the other hand, can be placed below the existing grille to add an extra personal touch without making a large change to the look of your vehicle. Some even feature finishes which mimic the sparkle of small diamonds.

It is possible to design your own Cadillac CTS by adding customizations purchased from specialty retail outlets. Customizing your vehicle can give it the personal touch, while also infusing a sense of your own personality into the car. The end result is the personal pride presented. To make sure the job is done right, be sure to have a professional help you if you do not know exactly what you are doing or how to do it the right way.

Zebras are best known for their distinctive black and white stripes. Their stripes come in different patterns unique to each individual. There are 3 species of Zebra and their stripes are typically vertical on the head, neck, forequarters, and main body, with horizontal stripes at the rear and on the legs of the animal. According to African tribal folklore legend, the zebras was once all white, but got its black stripes after a fight with a baboon over a waterhole. After kicking the baboon so hard, the zebra lost his balance and tripped over a fire, and the fire sticks left scorch marks all over his white coat.

Zebras are symbolic for humbleness, pureness and understanding. So acquiring your own individual zebra car accessories are your way of expressing your uniqueness.

For More Information :

A lot more than one particular mile above sea stage, situated in the heart of Sequoia National Park, may be the Basic Sherman tree. This virtually three-hundred foot tall Giant Sequoia is considered the largest tree within the world, as based on total volume. Extra impressive when compared with its mass is its age - scientists think it really is between 2,300 and 2,700 many years old. Giant Sequoias have prospered more than centuries, though many lesser trees have come and gone, since they posses really distinctive qualities. Their foot-thick bark enables them to resist fire, and their shallow roots take advantage of rain showers throughout periods of drought. And, in an interesting twist of natural survival, their tall canopies successfully block the sun, preventing opponents from taking hold and surviving within the darkened shadows at their base.

The BMW 5 Series is in a comparable position. The long-established benchmark mid-size hobby sedan finds itself inside a constant battle with rivals attempting to push it aside in an effort to capture its territory. Instead of resting on its laurels, BMW re-engineers the four-door once just about every eight years to conform to a changing and ever crowding segment.

Introduced earlier this year, the all-new 2011 BMW 6 String breaks new ground. Now sharing platforms together with the 7 Set, the sedan looks to have changed its tune from sport to luxury. We spent a week with all the range-topping 550i, fitted with all the automaker's twin-turbo 400-horsepower V8, to put our fingers on its new mission.

The BMW 4 Collection isn't nearly as old as General Sherman, but it does have its personal impressive lineage. Intended as a replacement for the "New Six" sedans in the early 1970s, the 4 Collection was the fifth of BMW's "new series" cars. The first 6 String sedans (known internally as type E12) were fitted with four- or six-cylinder gasoline engines sending power to your rear wheels. The second-generation models (E28) followed the exact same template, but that chassis is credited with introducing diesel powerplants and also the astounding M5 - the fastest production sedan on the planet when it was launched in 1984. The third-generation platform (E34) brought enthusiasts eight-cylinder strength, an engine configuration that located its way under the hood with the fourth-generation (E39) M5 design. The fifth-generation model (E60) has been around since 2004. Last year, it was offered which has a twin-turbo inline-6, V8 and V10 (M5) powerplants.

As you read in our Initially Drive in January, the all-new sixth-generation 4 Series (F10) has moved substantially upscale. Now riding on a modified 7 String platform (thus making it simple for BMW to produce each the five String and 7 Collection at its plant in Dingolfing, Germany), the slightly smaller sedan practically equals its bigger sibling when it comes to deluxe sessions and ride consolation. The two even share most with the identical power plants and drivelines.

In the launch with the five Collection, we spent many hours behind the wheel from the "entry-level" 535i type equipped with BMW's single-turbo "N55" inline-6 and new eight-speed computerized. That car or truck was installed with the optional paddle shifters (Activity Computerized) and next-generation electrical Integral Active Steering (IAS).!.! Now we now have our hands on the range-topping 400-horsepower 550i while using regular automatic transmission and typical electric steering.

The base MSRP of your 2011 BMW 550i is ,700 (plus 5 destination)!!! Our check vehicle, wearing Titanium Silver Metallic paint through Cinnamon Brown leather, is installed with the Convenience Package deal (comfort access entry), Dynamic Dealing with Package deal, Premium Package deal 2 (rearview camera, rear sunshades, heated entrance seats, iPod and USB adapter, satellite radio and premium hi-fi audio), Activity Package deal (19-inch alloys, sport steering wheel and multi-contour seats) and split fold-down rear seats. The bold number on the bottom of our window sticker reads ,450.

Interestingly sufficient, our automobile just isn't heavily optioned. In fact, we would have added the Game Computerized with shift paddles (more on that later), four-zone climate management and Smartphone integration. Although we do not condone such behavior, you'll be able to further burden your 5 String with evening vision, side and top view cameras, a head-up show, radar cruise handle and 20-inch factory alloy wheels. That has a heavy hand on the possibilities list, a non-M product 2011 5 String can top ,000. *Gulp.*

The cabin of our test vehicle arrived loaded with premium Dakota leather (normal on the 550i) and dark Burl Ash wood with contrasting aluminum trim. A silver exterior in excess of brown upholstery just isn't a color combination they teach at Art Center in Pasadena, but it looks sharp inside the new sheet metal. Primary instrumentation is logically distributed and easy-to-read under virtually all conditions (kudos to BMW for giving us an oil temperature gauge). Satellite navigation, standard within the 550i, upgrades the center details screen to a razor-sharp 10.2-inch 1280 x 480 pixel "transreflective" display, meaning light from the sun really enhances the images to the display screen (the screen, and all other displays, are easily learn via polarized sunglasses, too)..! The passenger compartment is beautifully trimmed, both inviting and functional, however the huge news is beneath the hood.

In contrast towards the 3.0-liter single-turbo "N55" inline-six found underneath the hood of your 535i (rated at 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque), the 550i is installed using a direct-injected four.4-liter twin-turbo "N63" V8 punching out 400 horsepower and a stump-pulling 450 pound-feet of torque. Whilst a six-speed manual transmission is offered (more kudos to BMW), our check vehicle arrived installed together with the automaker's new buttery-smooth eight-speed automated (ZF 8HP70)! The two turbochargers, nestled inside valley between the cylinders, do a fine job of boosting atmospheric pressure proper off idle. Throttle lag is negligible, and ability is powerful and seamless. BMW says the 550i will hit 60 mph in 5 seconds flat on its way towards an artificial electronic wall at 150 mph. Until the next-gen M5 arrives, this could be the quickest 6 Collection to the market.

We had a person week with the 550i. As most vehicles appear rather competent in 20-minute bursts round town, when speeds never ever exceed 50 mph and seats often feel fresh and comfy, we had some thing somewhat much more challenging in thoughts for BMW's new 7 Sequence - we took it to visit Normal Sherman. With 4 people on board as well as a decent amount of gear from the trunk, the one-day, 600-mile round-trip drive involved hundreds of miles of mind-numbing highways, capped by an invigorating 7,000-foot climb in to the southern Sierra Nevada mountain vary. The plan was to turn all around and head back again home that evening.

The 4 Collection sedan would prove to become a relaxed fit. Our six-foot two-inch frame drops into the 18-way multi-contour entrance seats and melts. With articulated upper backrests, and extendable lower cushions, the seats are a lot more comfy than your mother's womb (and they heat up equally as warm)!!! The rear seats are acceptable for adults, but the space would in no way be regarded as generous, because the backs of your entrance seats aren't sculpted for rear passenger knees. (In truth, the 4 Collection rear seating area only has about an inch in each dimension around the smaller three Set "E90" sedan.) We did uncover trouble installing a child booster from the back seat, as the thick outboard seat bolsters forced the plastic seat inward, covering the female end of the seat belt buckle.

Final year's 550i (E60) was fitted which has a 4.8-liter normally-aspirated "N62" V8, rated at 360 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. It is difficult to feel, however the new four hundred horsepower twin-turbo 4.4-liter makes the outgoing engine seem anemic. Round town, the 550i launches with really serious authority. The accelerator goes down and all skulls are pressed back again in to the head restraints. Strangely adequate, there is not a entire lot of noise to accompanying the thrust - it is eerie, nearly electrical. The eight-speed gearbox (the 535i and 550i don't share the very same transmission) shifts by way of the gears smoothly, but not as quickly as we'd have expected.

On the highway, the mid-size sedan cruises extremely fast, and extremely quietly. With engine noise successfully (deliberately?) muted, there's only a faint whisper from the outdoors wind (the 550i's drag coefficient is.30) plus the dampened rumble of the wide run-flat tires rolling around irregular street surfaces. Velocity is just not a concern, as the five Set relishes triple digits. The serene cabin creates an exceptional atmosphere for conversation (or listening for the premium audio technique), as passenger voices are held at low dining space levels. Averaging just much less than 25 mpg within the open street, the miles roll by more quickly than the days of summer.

Off the highway, we started the long climb up East Kings Canyon Path (Hwy 180), just outside Fresno. Because of forced induction, the 550i is all but immune towards the high ambient temperatures and rapidly gaining altitude. We utilized the 450 pound-feet of torque to effortlessly pass numerous cars exhaustively wheezing in our path. The path eventually became twisty, but the BMW didn't flinch. Because of the Dynamic Handling Package, body roll is practically absent. Our 3 passengers cry "uncle" prolonged prior to the tires protest.

The steering is properly weighed and incredibly accurate, but a bit numb ("isolated" is probably a far better description). There has been plenty of negative press with regards to new electric steering technology, but we did not find it a deal breaker because it seems to match the tone set by the rest of the car. That stated, we became accustom to it inside an hour and did not have any issues dodging cantaloupe-sized pine cones inside street.

Our huge gripe, even so, is directed at the transmission. To be perfectly blunt, there isn't a single electronic setting we like. When the toggle (situated to the left of the transmission shifter) is in "Comfort" or "Normal" mode, the gearbox looks to have a mind of its personal because it constantly shifts to higher gears seeking fuel economy (EPA 17 mpg city / 25 mpg highway). In search of much more ability, we keep goosing the throttle commanding the opposite reaction. Within the other hand, when in "Sport" or "Sport+" mode, the transmission is extra responsive but wouldn't go into eighth gear. As we alluded to earlier, our take a look at car or truck is missing the "Sport Automatic" alternative, a serious omission. This 0 upgrade adds correct paddle shifters and remaps the transmission for quicker shifting (plus, it permits you to additional tune the steering and throttle response by way of the Driving Dynamics Handle)..! It could only make items superior.

The headlights are absolutely amazing. The HID assemblies deliver stunning white-hot illumination that blankets every thing in front in the car, yet somehow fails to annoy oncoming drivers. Because of the adaptive bi-xenon setup, driving down a dark and unknown mountain road (typically a white-knuckle adventure) did not raise our pulse a single beat. The navigation system, including iDrive, is intuitive and useful (finally!)!!! The maps are displayed in conventional manner, or overlaid on geographic satellite imagery that impresses everyone. Lastly, the oversize disc brakes are confidence inspiring. No matter how a lot pace is carried, the 6 Series stops inside a controlled manner and with space to spare.

With out question, the 2011 BMW 550i is significantly improved more than its predecessor. However, something that was started out a couple generations ago has finally completed its gestation. Just ten many years ago, the 7 Series (E39) was a hobby sedan for those who had outgrown the entry-level design - it was typically described as a bigger and much more powerful 3 Series with upgraded appointments. In stark contrast, today's new five Sequence has become a much less costly 7 String.

Although trying to trump its sturdy opponents, BMW has burdened the 550i that has a long list of accessible luxuries never prior to seen on a 6 Sequence platform. The soft-close doors and energy operated trunk lid are immediately obvious, but you will find also hundreds of pounds of insulation, isolation and amenities buried inside. That said, the 2011 BMW 550i suggestions the scales at four,376 pounds - a startling four hundred kilos much more than the eight-cylinder Porsche Panamera S.

There was a time when the BMW 5 String was intended to be the benchmark four-door activity sedan. It was the quickest, fastest and best-handling five-place saloon about the planet. Details are a bit various today. The all-new 2011 550i, the current performance leader within the 5 Series model vary, seems to target luxury very first, and sport second. It can be an impressively engineered machine, an absolute pleasure to drive, but its new focus so changes the product that its mannerisms bear little resemblance to its predecessors. BMW hasn't lost its touch, but today's 4 Set seems to become chasing a various target. The remaining question is whether this change in focus will let adequate light as a result of the 5 Series' stifling canopy for extra sporting competitors to grab a foothold.
