BMW is so proud to celebrate its 90th year of wearing the name. July 21, 2007, the same date when the latest Harry Potter book was released is also the very same date when the Bavarian wheel maker is celebrating the 90 glorious years in the service of the auto industry. The German carmaker had been wearing the BMW brand tag from 1917 right up until this very day.

The BMW name was applied to every vehicle that the German auto maker had made. The short name BMW sounds like a sedan car to almost everybody but they are also reputable makers of quality small engine parts. And this also does not include the excellent brake calipers that they have made through the years.

Looking back, Karl Rapp was making V12 engines exclusively for Austro-Daimler. But he was joined by Max Friz, Cornelius Jagdmann and Camillo Castiglioni and then the Bayerische Motoren Werke was established.

We wish you a happy, happy birthday BMW. May you continue creating quality cars for us. And we hope to see you grow more and so you also discover more technologies that can enhance not just the quality of your cars but its performance as well.

There’s one classic car that has been my fascination lately - it’s the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro! From the day it was first introduced in 1967 as new model year on a brand new rear-wheel drive using a GM F-body platform, the Camaro was absolutely a hit during that era. At the start, the Camaro was advertised on the top 40 radio stations of the day so as to promote this vehicle to the young adult market.

The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro with its share of perfect Chevy body parts was available as a 2-door, 2+2 seating, coupe or convertible with a choice of inline-6 and V8 power plants. The first-generation Camaro would last until the 1969 model year and would finally inspire the design of the new retro fifth-generation Camaro.

During the first week of July, the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro has once again resurfaced… in the spotlight! What I meant about this is that the Camaro starred in a movie entitled The Transformers movie! I guess everybody have seen this awesome flick during the opening week! Yeah, I am one of the million fans who watched the Transformers on its premiere night! This movie is absolutely a blockbuster hit! And maybe is the movie of the year!

Anyway, going back to the Camaro, this car played a remarkable role in the movie as Bumblebee - the friendliest and one of the greatest soldiers of the Autobots. Actually, he was one of the key characters who brought color to the story.

Some scenes on the movie proved that the 1969 Camaro still got the power and the right stuff in it! After a hot pursuit and a clash with one of the Decepticons named Barricade (a modified Saleen Ford Mustang Police Car), the Camaro is invincible! Impressive indeed! But later on, he emerged as the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro concept car after he was called as a “piece of crap” by Sam’s girlfriend!
