Jaguar Land Rover, Castle Bromwich Production
Take a look at the Jaguar Land Rover plant at Castle Bromwich production.
The engine transmits its drive torque to a new version of the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, which offers a choice of three shift programs in both automated and manual modes. The innovations include modified transmission tuning and increased shift dynamics. Also contributing to the characteristic performance experience in the new BMW X5 M Competition and the new BMW X6 M Competition is the newly applied version of the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system, which is combined with the Active M Differential in the rear-axle transmission. In addition to the basic 4WD setting, the driver can use the M Setup menu to select the 4WD Sport mode, which enables controlled drifts thanks to a particularly rear-wheel-emphasized distribution of drive torque.

With the BMW i Vision Circular, the BMW Group is demonstrating the consistent design of a car according to the principles of a circular economy. The overall design goal of this visionary vehicle was to create a vehicle that is optimized for closed material cycles and achieves a rate of 100% recycled materials or 100% recyclability. In addition to bio-based and certified raw materials, materials that have already passed through a product life cycle – so-called secondary materials – are used for this purpose. This also applies to the energy storage system: The solid-state battery of the BMW i Vision Circular is 100% recyclable and almost completely made from recycled materials. At the same time, it will achieve a considerably higher energy density with significantly fewer of the most valuable resources. “We have included circularity in our concept right from the start when designing the BMW i Vision Circular. That's why this visionary vehicle is full of innovative ideas that combine sustainability with new and inspiring aesthetics – we call this approach Circular Design,” explains Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMW Group Design. Circular Design is based on the four principles RE:THINK, RE:DUCE, RE:USE and RE:CYCLE.
