  • TEASER: BMW Bullshark by Vilner [VIDEO]

    The best project of the Bulgarian luxury tuning company Vilner has just been teased via an exclusive video which you can watch below. This time the creative tuners have decided to entirely transform BMW 6 Series (E63).

    Since we are familiar with their craftsmanship and talent, and have seen the unique transformation of Bentley Continental GT, we are undoubtedly expecting to see one of the most exquisite tunings ever made. In this project Vilner was inspired by one of the greatest predators on our planet – the shark.

    Even more, it has offered its unique vision for this BMW, which now proudly carries the name Bullshark. From the video we can draw the conclusion that the magic hands of the team have given the E63 new aggressive headlights, new side fenders that look like branchia and a completely new front fascia that definitely puts an impression on one’s mind as if they are being watched by a shark.

    It is also noticeable that the side rearview mirrors have received a carbon fiber treatment, while regarding the back of the car, the Bullshark got taillights that have unusual form for the original model. So we are wondering whether we are to see an entire facelift of the rear.

    Nothing around the interior has been shown in the footage. However, knowing the capabilities of Vilner, we are sure that we are to be revealed a real embodiment of  perfection.

  • BMW recalls 1 300 000 cars

    Usually, we don’t report anything related to manufacturers, but this is very important and potentially dangerous. BMW AG is the world’s largest premium car manufacturer and one of the most expensive brands in the world. It is reccaling around 1.3 million cars for repair due to a possible problem with a battery cable cover in the trunk. Because of this, the car can catch fire, which is extremely dangerous and hard to cope with.

    This can happen with all models from 5- and 6-Series BMWs built between 2003 and 2010. This includes all E60, E61, F10 and F11 from the 5-Series and E63 and E64 from the 6-Series.

    BMW stated: “In some remote cases, the battery cable cover inside the boot of these vehicles may be incorrectly mounted, This can result in the electrical system malfunctioning, the vehicle failing to start and, in some cases, to charring or fire.”

    Still, less than 1% of the problematic vehicles have exhibited the problem and there are no reports of fires. The repairing procedure is really easy and would take around 30 minutes to an hour. Of course, It would be free of charge to customers.

    However, the recall affects more than 368 000 car in the US, 293 000 cars in Germany and another 109 000 cars in UK.

    So, if you have such car, be hurry and check your local dealer to eliminate possible problem.
