In most cases, people discover the importance of using a GPS system a bit after making their purchase of the vehicle. It is a advantage therefore that both kinds of fits could be installed aftermarket. The OEM fit is abbreviation for Owner Equipment Management. In other words, it's designed by the owner of the model to fit specific models of cars.

A perfect example of OEM fit navigation system is the dynavin e46. It's a high technology Global positioning system that does not only can help you circumvent but also cuts down on the risk of you being caught on the cell phone while driving because it comes with an inbuilt phonebook system. The ease by which this technique works is very breathtaking especially since it is an impression screen. Of course, you will need to let your passenger do the searching, simply to be safe. Let's focus on the dynavin e46 GPS model, it's specifically made for BMWs. If you try fit likes any other car model, it'll most likely not fit and could therefore not work. It thus becomes a total waste of time and cash.

On the other hand, the universal fit is made to fit into any type of car because it is designed for a myriad of dashboards. Its outline is made in such a way as to align using the general outline of most types of dashboards. You just buy your car as is and get it fitted after buying.

It might not necessarily look as perfect a fit because the OEM fit but it works equally well. It does mean that you could get one system and use it inside your are eco-friendly as you switch them ensuring it'll work just like easily and perfectly.

Bmw navigation can therefore land in either field. You can choose to obtain the original model for BMWs that is the OEM fit or obtain the universal fit. For many though, the choice is simple depending on preference. You should also consider the truth that the navigation system you install is a close partner inside your driving endeavours. You need to thus get a system that not only works but makes you feel confident and comfy as you drive.

Please take advantage of this limited time amazing offer and share with your family and friends!

Bimmerfest 2010 definitely was an event worth attending! Hot cars, hot women, and hot Cali weather! All the big players in the car modding business are there as well showcasing their latest work, but plenty of fans bring out their own vehicles and displays them the entire weekend.

Here are some pictures.

The legendary high-speed circuit has already been the setting for so many records. Once a year in southern Italy, under the aegis of “CONTINENTAL AG” and in collaboration with the editors of “AUTO BILD sportscars”, the 'creme de la crème' of vehicle tuners go head to head - this year on 18th and 19th October 2009.

The AC Schnitzer ACS3 3.5d Coupé succeeded in breaking the world record from 2006 for the fastest road-legal diesel car by over 8.7 km/h.

288.7 km/h

was the figure on the display of the GPS speedometer system on the 13 km long high-speed circuit - which is in principle a giant oversized circle - after the fast lap of the AC Schnitzer ACS3 3.5d Coupé.

After the records from 2006 with the TENSION as the fastest road-legal BMW, the world record still held by the GP3.10 GAS POWERED from 2007 for gas-powered vehicles, the ACS3 3.5d Coupé (based on the BMW 335d) has continued the success story.

Naturally the power upgrade which took the latest world record holder to success is part of the extensive AC Schnitzer special accessory range and available for all vehicles based on the 3.5d engine. It is TÜV-approved and available from BMW dealers.

Another impressive performance in Nardò came from the AC Schnitzer ACS4 3.5 turbo (based on the BMW Z4 sdrive 35i). At 303.1 km/h, this was not a new world, but such a high speed is almost unheard of for a Roadster. The Z4 was also running with the commercial version of the AC Schnitzer performance upgrade for 3.5i engines. Quickly, as we found out.

Winners earn the title of “Motors Master” in their category, receive a trip to Las Vegas to attend the 2009 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show and receive an eBay Motors shopping spree.

Entrants will record a short video about their favorite car, truck or motorcycle project and explain why they would make the best do-it-yourself project expert for their category, and upload it to the Motors Master Web site at http://www.motorsmaster.ebaymotors.com. Expert judges and the public will vote for the top entrants in the following categories:

Each winner also will receive a $2,500 eBay Motors shopping spree to buy parts and accessories for future projects at www.ebaymotors.com, where a part or accessory sells every second.

The top projects will be selected based on the entrants’ videos and their written descriptions of how they used eBay Motors to fuel their projects and why they should be chosen a 2009 Motors Master.
