I,m truly amazed at the amount of time, money and effort
that has been spent on making a once beautiful Car, into a
shockingly tasteless pile of shite.
Mind you, if that Potato faced Dumpling sat in the car is his Mrs, then
perhaps beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. :puke:

It is Russian, don't forget. The concept is impressive, the execution of the exterior not so good.

The translation from Russian makes for an entertaining read. For example, this quote:
"Acoustics, focusing on: 8-channel audio Sony XPLoid, support for Dolby Digital, DTS , and the total power is 3 kW. Indeed, from such a sound neighbors jumped from the balcony."

Digital Car BMW 850CSI
Introduction

Digital home built a long time. But while it is difficult to define the very concept of "digital home". What is it - server rack in the basement, which manages all appliances or a simple Media Center-based PC-type compact Shuttle XPC? Much simpler, and more interesting to integrate digital brain into something more compact than a house. For example, in the car. Car for the modern man - a house on wheels. The average person spends in a car up to 20% of their time. And ideally, the road to the car - this is the same amount of time that separates you from the digital home and digital office. Company Club Multimedia supported by Intel and Sony decided to remove this analog gap. How, with what components, and most importantly - why should we now try to find out.
The concept of a digital car

Many of you who enjoy the automotive theme, perhaps aware that the modern car business class passengers can connect to the Internet, send faxes and emails, watch a DVD or even play computer games. Can I assume that these black limousines digital cars? Let's reflect on this theme. Do you think if you can load into memory Mercedes S-Class all your home videos and audio recordings? Can you look at it a pirate MPEG4, encoded with some new codec? Can you install a video card of the same tuning new Maybach drivers? Try contacting these matters to an authorized service center. Just grab with a digital camera to capture the amazement on the face of service department managers.

Digital Car BMW 850CSI

Electronics digital car should not be just the latest in technical terms. In addition, it should be compatible with any application that you need at home. After all, if you need them at home or in the office, they may need on the road. Digital car should be ready at any moment to update their software drivers and firmware over the Internet, wherever you are. None of the modern system of automotive electronics will not give you these opportunities. The only way out - to integrate into a car full-fledged computer. After all, only a personal computer has the flexibility and comprehensive capabilities settings. There is no such problem, which failed to modern PCs.

Everyone loves to watch movies on DVD. But who wants to carry a bag with the DVD drives? Even the most expensive DVD changer can not be compared with respect to capacity with hard drives. Much easier to download their entire media collection of movies, music, photos, ring tones for mobile and web pages in the car to all your take along.

Digital car needs to be sociable. He must speak with you in the language of the same interface that you have at home and at work. You have downloaded a new flash game from the internet, it should work without any problems and you have a car. Tell me please, what else would give such possibilities car as a personal computer?

The car must communicate not only with you, but with the world. Why? To get on the way to work last quotation of the securities in order to read in traffic news site HardwarePortal.ru, to communicate on ICQ and IP-telephony call abroad. To this end, the car must have the support of GPRS and Wi-Fi. Located within a working Wi-Fi network, you can enter into contracts, not out of the car.

Digital Car BMW 850CSI

Someone might say that all of these features are useful for passengers, well, or for the driver in the parking lot. And the road is nothing to do will be impossible. As an experienced driver, I agree with them. But digital car should enable the pilot to access its settings. It is no secret that all modern cars (about the "automotive" keep quiet), control your own computer. Built-in car computer decides how to distribute the injection, the machine was more Rezvoy or vice versa - more economical. Normally setting the car computer can not be changed - that are engaged only in the service. So, digital car would get into your inner mind and the usual multi-window interface on the fly to change the firmware. For example, in the city you can make the engine more economical, and on the track - a high-spirited. In addition, the PC connected to the brain the car will read the error codes to decipher what is broke, will give the exact mileage before the trip to the service center to replace the oil, will run the full statistics, flow and many many more. This driver will appreciate these features, which are not inherent in even an executive limousine.

Difficult to imagine a modern car without navigational equipment. But whatever you say, even professional navigators have a limited capacity. What if the driver give the opportunity to watch the map on the big screen. A computer at this time via Internet download information about traffic jams and help pave the most appropriate route? And at the same it will give the weather forecast for the next time around your route? Only on a computer you can easily and quickly edit the route. After all, those who used the GPS-navigation is well known that working with navigation maps require more CPU power and memory. None of the electronic device can not be compared to the computing power of personal computers. And as the computer itself will update all maps and all the software on a single keystroke.

So a digital the car must be equipped with a computer having a disk array, coupled with an internal computer car. Digital car should be able to access the Internet both Wi-Fi, and on GPRS. This machine should give you all the same features as the business PC in the office or at home. In terms of entertainment should be to support all current standards for encoding music and video. You'll be written in the memory of a car with any information or vice versa - to drain it from the machines on your home computer. As you know, in the presence of Wi-Fi in the car will make it easy.
Draft # 1 - BMW 850CSI

The first digital car to become a product of Bavarian automobile owned by Vladimir Yanpolskomu, better known as the Scorpion. This person is known as the owner of the eponymous studio car tuning (www.ads-scorpion.ru). His BMW 850CSI was literally recreated with great refinement engine, bodywork and suspension. As a result, the car now has a turbocharged 624-horsepower 12-cylinder engine in volume over 6000 cm3 and is one of the fastest cars in Russia. Thanks to "digitize" it to obtain the personal computer, navigation system, a disk array of 1.2 terabytes, 15 "LCD screen for the passenger, Sony VAIO, and modern Hi-Fi speakers. It was the first in Europe, a car capable of playing HD video resolution HDV.

Digital Car BMW 850CSI

In this car the rear row of seats had to be removed, leaving room for the driver and passenger. Instead of rear seats, a podium was set to the acoustics and electronics. Central to this is a computer barebone-assembled on the platform, Shuttle XPC. This computer uses a modern Intel Pentium 4 processor with a frequency of 3.0 GHz. This computer can easily connect a Midi-keyboard or an electronic rack for a DJ to hold concerts on the road for their friends. If you liked the track, it can be immediately written to a CD or DVD, thanks to the drive Shuttle CR40. This drive supports all modern formats of CD and DVD, including dual-layer DVD + R Double Layer (8.5 Gb).

In parallel with the computer installed media player on your hard disk TViX (later it was replaced with a more aggressive model - Rapsody RSH-100). This portable storage device with integrated hard drive that can play video and audio recordings. Going in the car - listening to music, walk into the office - you take with you this CD and delishsya new albums and movies with all the comrades.

If it's time to stand in a traffic jam or simply wait for a girl near the metro, it will not be bored. Instead of staffing the unit, installed CD / DVD Centre Sony XAV-A1 with a touch (!) Screen diagonal 7. "On this cassette you can watch DVD and listen to music.

I do not know what promises to be able to pull the passenger from the car. At the gas station, a store, home for forgotten things - everywhere the driver will have to go alone. After all, the passenger a 15 "LCD panel, which displays a picture from your computer. A computer we can play HDV video quality superior to regular DVD. Skorpionovskaya This machine was the first in Europe to support HDV. And if you want to watch TV, then connected to a computer TV tuner Pinnacle PCTV MediaCenter 100e and give you this opportunity. In some machines have TVs. But only through TV-tuner, a passenger can put the TV on pause and record to hard disk. manage a TV tuner can be even speed, without fear of shaking, as Media Center, which we considered in our comparison 9 TV tuner, has huge buttons and a very simple interface, which is not necessary to get a grasp.

Digital Car BMW 850CSI

Also in the vehicle mounted laptop Sony VAIO S2, which can be operated by the passenger. This laptop is built on Intel Centrino platform and is connected to a computer Shuttle XPC via the Wi-Fi. Access to the Internet through the communicator Sony-Ericsson P910i, which is recognized as one of the most reliable and unpretentious models, it is very important for the extreme conditions prevailing in motorsports. On the same machine you can call as a regular phone. Well, in the presence of nearby Wi-Fi network, you can make access to the Internet through it.

Digital Car BMW 850CSI

Acoustics, focusing on: 8-channel audio Sony XPLoid, support for Dolby Digital, DTS, and the total power is 3 kW. Indeed, from such a sound neighbors jumped from the balcony.

Digital Car BMW 850CSI

Computer is connected to the engine control unit. And the driver can at any time to reconfigure the power of the engine to make it more economical in a city or quite brutal on the track or racing. As a result, sporty character BMW "Scorpion" was completely mad, it should not be fit for the city and in traffic jams just download an alternative program. And most importantly, that all of the installed electronics are not turned the car into an exhibition doll. This car continues to win in drag racing and night racing.
Why XZibit no longer sleeps at night

You know the program "Pimp My Ride" on the channel "MTV"? There's a famous American singer and lover of cool cars XZibit with his friends from the studio tuning "Westcoast Customs" transform the old half-dead in the exclusive pimped cars. So, to our knowledge, XZibit no longer sleeps at night. But experts Westwood Customs instead of pumping the old Chevrolet and Chrysler shall issue a visa to Russia. What made these guys to lose faith in life?

The thing is that the company "Club Multimedia provided" studio Scorpion "very fast-charged car BMW / / / M3 (in a legendary body E36), to charge him even more. Neither car tuning studio in the world could not safely make the news. Someone has closed, realized his handicap, someone changed the scope of business, but those who stayed the night in nightmares see BMW M3 supports Wi-Fi, BlueTooth, HyperThreading, HDV and all modern digital technology.

XZibit not slept for a long time

Even serial BMW M3 (and they make only a few thousand cars a year) - it's easy and very dynamic compartments, units which are radically different from the usual "treshek and tuning are still under design and build. The huge disc brakes, stiffer suspension, ceramic clutch, and most importantly - in-line 6-cylinder engine produces more than 300 power. It's time to add a little sport coupe electronics.

Digital Car BMW M3

But on this car, we'll tell you next time. In the meantime, let's talk about the price.
Conclusion

Probably many of you are wondering the same question - "How much?". Of course, skorpionovskaya BMW 850CSI do it heartily, to the maximum throughout. Therefore, tuning the body, suspension and engine cost in number with five zeros (no rubles of course), but not at the expense of electronics. Install the computer in the car can be about $ 1000 worth of work and the computer. Connect the media player type Rapsody with FM-transmitter of any motorist can do without any skills. Acoustics - it not having a limit, but a reasonable approach fit in quite a reasonable price. A computer connection, installing a desktop monitor and cabling cost is certainly cheaper to install than the parent CD / DVD player / recorder with the usual 7-inch screen.

In principle, for example multimedia BMW 850CSI you can be sure that today's high technology ready to integrate into the car. It is possible, it is reasonable money, but gives a very big opportunity. Let's see what they did in the BMW M3 ...
