Could this be the MINI Paceman JCW Spied?

There has been a lot of spy shots as of late as BMW Group and MINI expand on it's current model line up. The MINI Paceman will offer the ALL4 All wheel drive from the Countryman, but in a Cooper Hatch style configuration. As we can see in this picture the MINI Paceman will be very close in size to the BMW 1 Series Hatch (The one series looks smaller in this picture since it is further away). From what we can see here, it looks like MINI is testing out the MINI Paceman John Cooper Works ALL4 and from what I can see it looks great! 2 more pictures after the jump.

BMW and the iPhone 5

Apple recently introduced the new iPhone 5. There are three key differences between it and earlier iPhone models that affect its integration in BMW vehicles. First, the physical dimensions of the body of the new phone are thinner and longer compared to the iPhone 4/4S. Second, the iPhone uses a new 8-pin connector in place of the traditional 30-pin connector used on all other iPhone variants as well as iPod touch and iPod nano. The third is the elimination of the analog video signal.


BMW 5 Series and GT LCI (F10 and F07)

Here are some spy shots of the BMW 5 Series (F10) and 5 GT (F07) Facelift (LCI) below. In these pictures we can see the BMW 5 Series's new optional LED headlight units with squared off LED Corona Rings, in addition we can see that the turn indicators are now located in the mirrors. On the 5GT it appears that some visual updates are being applied to the front and the rear. Have a look at the gallery after the jump.
