BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept to go into production in 2013?

Inside Line is reporting that BMW will put the EfficientDynamics Concept into production sometime in 2013 which is a year later than what Auto Express Said. According to the website, the company will maintain the hybrid system featured in the concept and that the production version will be finished with more metal surfaces.

Apparently BMW may also limit the production to about 10,000 units. The hybrid unit with plug-in capability is made up by a 3-cylinder turbodiesel powerplant and two electric motors. Power is rated at 356hp and a massive 800Nm of torque.

2011 BMW 1 Series to feature twin clutch transmission?

According to the guys over at Bimmerfile, BMW may fit the high-tech 7-speed dual clutch transmission that is found in the current Z4 model into the 2011 BMW 1 Series and if you ask me, the variant in question should be the 135i where an updated version is expected to launched later this year. The current 135i is able to output 306 PS and 400Nm of torque which the same amount of torque the current 420 PS M3 produces. It only makes sense to fit the dual clutch cog box into the 135i since it is a powerful little devil and trust me it can scare you if you have a heavy foot.
