A Day Doesn’t Pass By Feeling Right without BMW DRL Kit
0 comments Posted by erwan.safrinal7 at 3:36 PM
BMW DRL Lights can give just the right amount of light you need in those dark crook and cranny in any corner or alley. The lamps are made by LED to provide greater lighting. And just to make sure you don’t have enough light, we coupled five LED bulbs. I guess there is no such thing as being too safe.
If you compare the BMW DRL Lights to the headlights, you’ll notice just how much lighter the Daytime Running Lights are. They aren’t some half-assed lights just for show. Perhaps they really are more useful than some drivers think.
With its LED technology, the Daytime Running Lights consume less power than usual filament bulbs. That’s a relief since these lights will be turned on all day. Built with LED for brighter output and energy efficiency. The manufacturers weren’t kidding around.
Simply installing it onto the car battery provides automatic turn on as soon as the engine gets going. Drivers who wish to switch off the Daytime Running Lights momentarily can remove it without any difficult installations. These lights are just perfect for car dummies. The simple installation with the low energy consumption and strong efficiency makes the BMW DRL Lights a nice little car accessory simple drivers and car enthusiasts enjoy.

2011 Gemballa Mistrale
2011 Gemballa Mistrale
2011 Gemballa MistraleIn the process of rebuilding their tuning empire after the devastating loss of Gemballa founder, Uwe Gemballa, the company has arrived at the 2011 Top Marques Monaco with two new packages: the Tornado based on the new Cayenne and the 2011 Mistrale based on the Panamera sedan. Both models are defined by the most impressive design, cutting edge technology and the finest materials.
For the Mistrale, Gemballa is offering two stages of engine updates. In stage one, the twin-turbo V8 engine has been tuned to deliver 610 HP and a peak torque of 626 lbs-ft. Stage two takes power to a more incredible 700 HP and 737 HP. This significant output is achieved through the use of larger turbochargers, a modified intake system, high efficiency intercoolers, sports exhaust, free-flow catalytic converters and bespoke ECU remapping.
"We have significantly reduced weight, but without compromising strength, safety or comfort," explained Andreas Schwarz, CEO of GEMBALLA GmbH. "Rather than cutting into the steel panels and bonding on new parts, as is common in the aftermarket industry, we completely replace entire panels with bespoke carbon-fiber ones that use the original mounting points," he said. "These new panels, which include the bonnet, front wings, doors, front and rear bumper/valance, save a total of 70kg."

Niimi also said that Toyota has been “multiple-sourcing among different Tier 1 suppliers", according to Autonews. Toyota said last week that the production of 150 critical parts was damaged. Vehicle production is expected to get back to normal levels throughout the globe only in November or December.
Niimi said that some of those 150 parts used content or subparts that were focused in Tier 3 through Tier 4. Niimi explained that it is at these levels that a “sole source is sometimes relied upon." Specifically, the critical parts included microcomputers and rubber-related items. These had a single supplier. Niimi clarified further that since these suppliers are “renowned” for having very high engineering capabilities, switching to other sources won’t be simple.[via - 4wheelsnews]
