BMW X6 has More Power from Hamann


 


Hamann has released their abarsive Tycoon EVO M, which is based on the 2011 BMW X6 M. Just like what Hamann always do, everything about their car is completely beyond comprehension. The first thing is the massive horsepower addition to the stock engine which is boosting its power from the original 550 to a shocking 670. Hamann said that the top speed is 186 mile per hour.


 


For the exterior, this big bimmer is 60 milimeters wider than the original model. This new size is created by setting the carbon accented matte black paint scheme in top of its 23 inch wheels as its feet which is also colored in matte black. Its taillights, roof rack, rear spoiler, hood, antenna, and the exhaust package get the carbon fiber treatment.


 


The interior stuff is also truly insane, with Hamann eschewed a carbon fiber or aluminum trim combined with a Nanai Salmon Leather. Hamann said that this car will be just durable and luxurios like the traditional interior leather, but with a structure of salmon skin. It might look similar to the snake skin. The interesting trim choice come from the usual litany Alacantra seats and the quilted leather style.

Will 2007-2008 Jeep Wrangler Split Their Gas?


 


Somw owners of the Jeep Wrangler said that they have been getting a shocking surprise from their 2007-3008 Wranglers. There are around 600 complaints and 900 warranty claims that the Jeep off roaders have been spitting their gas to the owners during the fill up. Those oweners were saying that their Jeeps have a tendency to spit the fuel back out from its filler lines if you don’t pay a close attention to your pump.


 


After those complaints, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened up their inverstigation to those claims in November 2010. However, they are closing it in February after finding that those fuel leaks don’t close enough with the significant safety hazard.


 


NHTSA is saying that the internet forums were playing a big role for the number of complaints that they received. The forum members were posting some messages to tell the other owners to file complaints to the NHTSA. NHTSA said that many of that message senders were not founding the fault, and only based on the urging of message boards. Unfortunately, the Jeep owners are not convinced and said that the problem is dangerous, with a repair cost of $ 600, though Chrysler warranties will cover moist of it.
