It Will Be the Lightest and Longest BMW 3

REUTERS/Michaela RehleA BMW logo is pictured before the annual news conference of German premium automaker BMW in Munich March 19, 2014.

A next-generation BMW 3 was spotted testing on the road ahead of its expected launch at the 2018 Paris Motor Show in October.

According to reports, the G20 BMW 3 series will be based on the company’s new CLAR platform, a lightweight, scalable architecture that also serves as the foundation of the BMW 7 and 5 series. This means it would be a very lightweight sedan, about 40 to 100 kilograms lighter than the F30-gen car.

Considering BMW added its latest technology onto this new car, its lightweight built is viewed as impressive.

The G20 is also expected to be the longest ever in the BMW 3 series, even though it only sports a marginal increase in the wheelbase and total length. This, along with the interior overhaul, should improve the space in the rear seats as well as the volume of the trunk.

The cabin will also sport a much different look compared to the F30 as it follows BMW’s new design language. The interior features a new color scheme, dashboard, iDrive controller, shift lever, electric parking brake, and digital gauge cluster. Its touchscreen system is positioned higher and larger for better interface.

Its chassis will be slightly configured relative to the outgoing model, and will sport a 49/51 weight distribution. Power distribution across all wheels will be supported by active steering, adaptive suspension, and mechanical torque.

The G20 will also be the first in the BMW 3 series to sport laser headlights, like the BMW i8 and BMW 7 Series. Although…

800 Christian families flee city after blasphemy claim triggers riots

Local church leader, Bishop Emmanuel Masih told World Watch Monitor – an organisation which reports on cases of Christians facing pressure for their faith – that 800 families have left Lahore since Monday when an angry mob burned tyres and partially blocked a major road.

The unrest broke out after local Christian man, Patras Masih, was accused of posting offensive material on Facebook last month.

 

His uncle, Arif Masih told World Watch Monitor: “People had started gathering around 7am, while I heard about what was happening around 11.30am, when things had started getting worse.

“I live only few streets away and rushed to the place where people were gathering, while Patras and his father had already fled from home.”

Relatives of the 20-year-old bank cleaner say they are unaware of what has happened to Mr Masih since they turned him in to police.

World Watch Monitor

 

During a press conference at the police in Shahdara district on Tuesday evening, Muslim and Christian church leaders urged families to return to the city and to live in peace with Muslim neighbours.

Police sub-inspector Haji Munir, who is leading the investigation in Mr Masih told World Watch Monitor: “Patras is still under investigation but soon will be sent to jail.”

New Default Bitcoin Code To Make Cryptocurrency Rise Even Higher

REUTERS/Dado RuvicA copy of bitcoin standing on PC motherboard is seen in this illustration picture, October 26, 2017.

Coinbase Inc, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the US, is leading the charge to improve Bitcoin by rolling out a long-awaited software update meant to address the cryptocurrency’s many issues. Known as Segregated Witness (SegWit), the software the new code is focused on scaling the network paving the way for technology that will speed up transactions and bring down transaction fees.

By solving the main issues many have with Bitcoin, it could once again become a viable mode of transaction. This could also eventually lead to the rise in the cryptocurrency’s price as it becomes even more established in the world’s economy.

Activated last August after months of controversy, SegWit is now spearheading the development of a more structured, “themed” release for the Bitcoin Core software. Following the 0.16.0 code release, the sixteenth “major release” since the cryptocurrency’s debut, users will now be able to take advantage of their benefits.

SegWit addresses will be the default and well integrated into the wallets themselves, meaning that new addresses are automatically compatible with the scaling feature. With addresses being created automatically, wallet users should soon experience lower fees.

Coinbase announced via a Tweet that it will begin a phased rollout this week with the changes expected to affect consumers by the middle of the week. This is after the San Francisco-based exchange received numerous complaints about inefficiency and high transaction charges.
