Midas touch or the golden egg? D.A.D’s new Gold Chrome BMW Z4

Daljit Auto Designs new Gold Chrome BMW Z4 

Is D.A.D been influenced by the most famous King Midas from the Greek mythology for his ability to turn everything he touched into gold? Or the goose that laid the golden eggs from Aesop's Fables? I am curious!

D.A.D’s recent project, the white BMW Z4 converted into gold chrome Z4 has proved, time and again, the capabilities of Daljit Auto Designs as a prominent player in the wrapping industry from the land already known as The Golden Bird.

It’s an honor to take my readers through the effort that went into the project and also understand the next phase of D.A.D.

The team behind the gold chrome BMW Z4 stunned automotive enthusiasts by creating India’s only chrome wrap Audi R8 V8. However, there is a slight difference in this case, the Z4 project was done in-house which turned out to be an advantage, while the chrome Audi R8 was worked offshore (Bangalore). The choice of gold chrome was by the client himself, when touched by D.A.D it looks marvelous.

D.A.D’s precision to detail has paid out on the Z4, the front grill, head lamps and tail lamps have been smoked, also the angel eye in the headlamps has been changed to white from yellow (default on the Z4). The convertible roof is wrapped by gloss black to match the chrome gold.

With the completion of the chrome Audi R8 V8 and gold chrome BMW Z4 projects D.A.D is left busy with upcoming projects like Matte gold for a Merc CLS class and many more, watch out this space for more updates from Exotics in India.

BMW X6 “M” Spotted review

This must be really big for your eyes to take it, the BMW X6 with an “M” badge on it. Since the “M” comes with uncompromising power of a beast.  The X6 M is a high-performance vehicle from BMW unveiled at the 2009 New York Auto Show.

‘The Beast’ is what I would like to call it, pumps out 555 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and can accelerate from zero to 100kmp/h mph in just 5 seconds, isn’t that thrilling.

The BMW X6 M is the first xDrive all-wheel-drive vehicle from the M GmbH and uses a potent version of BMW's twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8. Coupled with special suspension specifically optimized for M that features Adaptive Drive and the newly developed M Servotronic power steering, the performance Sport Activity Vehicle promises very competent handling. Other high-tech features include launch control for maximum acceleration and a six speed M Sport automatic transmission optimized for performance. Drivers can manually select gears using either paddles or an electronic gear selector lever.

Electronically controlled, variable power distribution to the front and rear axle prevents even the slightest tendency to over- or understeer right from the start, before DSC Dynamic Stability Control is even required to cut in.

BMW is referring to the new 4.4-liter motor as its “M TwinPower Turbo” unit. The name reflects the fact that the motor features Twin Scroll Twin Turbo Technology and a common exhaust manifold encompassing both rows of cylinders.

Although traction control is standard, the M Dynamic Mode (MDM) greatly optimises the aggressiveness of the system. The MDM setting allows the driver to enter a controlled drift and push the vehicle’s handling to the limit. There is also a DSC-Off Mode for those who seek sheer driving pleasure.

Exterior of the X6 M: The M’s characteristics hallmark pure dynamics and powerful lines. The roofline resembles coupe-like body structure in the rear meeting the flared shoulder area. To bring in sporty character, the X6 combines Classic motorsport features such as the aerodynamically optimised air ducts in the Air dam trim and the wheel arch air vents, also M twin tailpipes are an expression of top performance.

Interior of the X6 M: Open the door and the M logo on the entry sills gives an indication of the beasts that awaits your command. As soon as you take control of the M steering wheel you realise that the BMW X6 M is more than a Sports Activity Coupé. This is a vehicle that sets new class benchmarks in terms of dynamics, agility and emotion. The X6 M, impress with its stylish elegance and athletic ergonomics while the Merino leather M seats provide made-to-measure driving comfort and exceptional body support.

The BMW X6 M competes with Porsche’s Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S.
