China to Begin Work on Costa Rica Road
written by admin 2013/10/15
Costa Rica News – Well with the fact that the road to Arenal is a ticking time bomb getting ready to collapse at any time, the road to the Carribbean has already collapsed, and we have seen the failures of the Costa Ricans to actually be able to construct their own roads in and around San Jose; there was an obvious need for someone else to step in and take over for the incompetence of Conavi and MOPT, the two Costa Rican government entities that are responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure in CR.
Who would have guessed that the obvious substitute to take over was…….drum roll please……China.
The renovation and expansion of a key 107-kilometer road connecting Costa Rica's capital to the Caribbean coast could begin as early as next month, after a Chinese bank agreed to provide $395 million in financing.
The renovation and expansion of Route 32 will improve the connection between San Jose and the province of Limón, the key link to the Caribbean coast.
As part of the deal, China's Harbour Engineering Company LTD will serve as the lead construction company, a familiar model for Chinese financing deals. The Export-Import Bank of China worked a similar deal linking financing and construction for the Baha Mar project in the Bahamas.
China money is flowing into projects around the world. It was announced this week that China is backing the Manchester Airport City development in the U.K.
The Costa Rica deal was first announced in June when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the region. But President Laura Chinchilla signed the deal last week, the Tico Times reports. The financing deal was for 20 years at a 3.5 percent interest rate, with a grace period of up to four years, according to the paper.
The loan will help pay for finance the $485 million expansion of Route 32, the road connecting San Jose to the Caribbean coast, which is under-developed compared to the popular western coast. The road will also expedite the flow of goods from the Limón port.
Construction could begin as early as next month, if the Costa Rica legislature approves the deal.
The Costa Rican deputies and government officials probably just need to find out how much of the money is going to go into their pockets.
Pretty amazing that Costa Rica still does not have the competence to build their own roads.

Thank you for visiting the Cornell Cooperative Extension Eelgrass Program website. We are excited to reach out to those people who are interested in what is happening in their local waters, and what they can do to help.
The Cornell Marine Program includes the restoration, management, research and education of many of our local marine resources here on Long Island. The Habitat Restoration and Monitoring Division involves work with shellfish, finfish and crustaceans and their habitats including seagrass meadows, beaches, flats and saltmarshes. Programs include monitoring, assessment and restoration at all levels.
The main purpose of the CCE Eelgrass Program is to restore eelgrass, our dominant local seagrass. This species has declined dramatically over the past 75 years due to many reasons, and unfortunately without our help, it will not likely make a comeback in the near future. Although water quality has stabilized, if not improved in many areas around Long Island, there are no ready sources of propagules (seeds or adult shoots) to naturally vegetate these areas. This situation is called propagule limitation and it is the basis for our restoration work.
To track the extent and health of (monitor) existing eelgrass meadows as well as the historic distribution of meadows throughout Long Island.
To conduct proactive restoration at appropriate sites around Long Island.
To develop alternative sources of eelgrass planting propagules including seeds, transplants and nursery grown material.
To develop innovative planting methods to restore eelgrass using both seeds and transplants.
To conduct a limited amount of applied research on eelgrass ecology and restoration.


The Simon's Town penguin colony is a top conservation priority and is home to at least 854 breeding pairs of African penguins. The African penguin, Spheniscus demersus, is listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
The sections of the Simon's Town penguin colony from Seaforth Beach to Water's Edge Beach, and from Burghers' Walk to Windmill Beach and Franks Bay, are free-access areas managed by the Transport and Urban Development Authority's Environmental Management Department.
The Table Mountain National Park's Boulders Beach section is managed by SANParks.
The marine environment adjacent to the penguin colony is part of the Table Mountain National Park Marine Protected Area (MPA), which stretches from Muizenberg around Cape Point to Green Point. The Boulders Restricted Zone, adjacent to the penguin colony, is one of six 'no-take MPA zones' where no fishing is allowed and activities such as diving are regulated.
The zone, which is home to several threatened species including abalone, west coast rock lobster, red steenbras and bank cormorants is an important feeding ground for the penguins. Kelp forests provide food and a haven for thousands of species, from colourful sea anemones to endemic cat sharks.
The City's Environmental Management Department entered into a three-year agreement in July last year with SANCCOB to assist with penguin monitoring and research, which includes the appointment of a site coordinator for the City's management of the Simon's Town penguin colony.
Since then, CTEET, an environmental education and training not-for-profit organisation, has appointed four monitors who have been working with the penguins. The penguin monitor programme is also funded by SANCCOB.
Monitors look for penguins breeding outside core breeding areas and move them to safety. This includes places where they have to cross roads to get to the sea, are vulnerable to attacks by dogs or are on private properties where they are not welcome. Chicks and eggs found during these sweeps are taken to SANCCOB for incubation and hand-rearing.
Small microchips have been implanted under the penguins' skins so that they can be identified using a hand-held or ground reader, which allows for the easy collection of data and reduces the stress for the penguins. Ground readers have been installed at Stony Point and Robben Island, which provide important information on survival, movement and site fidelity of penguins. A ground reader will also be installed in the Simon's Town colony at Boulders Beach.
African penguins usually breed and moult once a year. The monitors conduct regular nest checks and counts. This data is used to determine the long-term breeding success of the population.
During a moult, penguins replace all their feathers in order to retain their waterproofing properties and, as a result, they are land-bound and cannot go to sea to feed. Sometimes, when the birds lose their first clutch of eggs or chicks due to bad weather events, such as heat waves or storms, or a shortage of food (small pelagic fish), they may try to breed again later in the year.
As such, when the moulting period coincides with the breeding period, the adult penguins are unable to feed their chicks. The penguin monitors then rescue the abandoned chicks and take them to SANCCOB for hand-rearing and release once they are old enough to go to sea. The current conservation status is such that every one of these late-season chicks needs to be saved.
Dealing with injured and oiled birds.
The monitors rescue injured penguins and other birds that they find on their daily sweeps or which are reported by members of the public.
The monitors also rescue any oiled birds which are taken to SANCCOB for cleaning and rehabilitation. In April 2017, three adult penguins were oiled after sitting underneath a car in Gay Road. In August 2017, an adult penguin was found with a plastic ring around its head and beak. Luckily, all of these birds were successfully rehabilitated and released.
All residents need to play their part in preventing pollution, on land or sea, to reduce the negative impacts on the marine environment.
Historically, penguins used to breed on the offshore islands and were safely protected from land-based predators, but the destruction of the breeding habitat on the islands due to guano collection and egg collection reduced their ability to breed successfully there.
However, the land-based penguin colonies that have established themselves in recent times are vulnerable to predators including mongoose, seals, caracal and even leopards in some areas. Kelp gulls also predate on the penguin eggs. Feral and domestic cats and dogs are also responsible for penguin deaths in the colony.
The monitors check the colony for any signs of predation on a daily basis. Camera traps are also used to monitor predator activity within the colony. Low levels of predation are a naturally occurring event, but any large predations are investigated to ascertain the predator and any management interventions that may be required. The monitors also survey the colony for any signs of disease and any sick birds are carefully removed from the colony and sent to SANCCOB.
The monitors play a critical role in communicating with visitors to the area, informing them of the rules and regulations and ensuring that disturbance to the penguins is kept to a minimum.
'We are very pleased to be working with SANCCOB, CTEET and SANParks to ensure the protection and conservation of our endangered penguins. This integrated approach is needed as the Simon's Town penguin colony stretches across various boundaries along the coastline and requires all our expertise and resources to manage.
'This successful partnership is truly reflective of the old saying, "Birds of a feather flock together." We may have different roles to play but we share the same goal and that is to keep the penguin colony safe and thriving for many years to come,' said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Transport and Urban Development, Councillor Brett Herron.

Q: UIImageView.image is nil after being set with non-nil value I am setting an imageView with a MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork. The code works well when I change tracks however when I leave the view and return, this code is called and the UIImageView.Image remains nil even though I am setting it with a non nil value.
MPMediaItemArtwork *artwork = [nowPlayingItem valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork];
if (artwork != nil) {
    self.songImageView.image = [artwork imageWithSize:self.songImageView.frame.size];
}

I have tried a couple of checks to determine that nowPlayingItem is not nil, artwork is not nil and also self.songImageView is not nil.
Any ideas where else I should be looking?

A: you should try this
MPMediaItemArtwork *artwork = [nowPlayingItem valueForProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork];

// now get UIImage object from the MPMediaItemArtwork object
if (artwork) {
    artworkImage = [artwork imageWithSize: CGSizeMake (30, 30)];
     //or
     //artworkImage = [artwork imageWithSize: self.songImageView.bounds.size]];

self.songImageView.image = artworkImage
}

A: According to the error you mentioned:

self.songImageView.frame.size error: property 'frame' not found on
  object of type 'UIImageView *' error: 1 errors parsing expression

It looks like self.songImageView.frame is nil.
So you may be giving it a real image but the imageview has no frame to present that image to you. So when you call imageWithSize its giving you an image with no size.
try:
MPMediaItemArtwork *artwork = [nowPlayingItem valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork];
if (artwork != nil) {
    self.songImageView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100); // give the imageview a frame
    self.songImageView.image = [artwork imageWithSize:self.songImageView.frame.size];
}

A: I met the similar problem before,where I wrote the right code but when executed, it seemed that the object did not exist.
In my case, I solved the problem by adding
self.myObject = [[ClassOfMyObject alloc] init];

before I used self.myObject.  (Actually I added this in ViewDidLoad method.)
Hope my solution would help you.

The guilt and shame associated with not completing goals can be suffocating. This is a difficult time of year for many people already, let alone having to sit and reminisce on all the failed attempts at resolutions you've made in the past. To say that those disappointing thoughts didn't leave you with an encouraged vibe is the understatement of the year! But do we just throw in the towel, and say bye bye to goal setting entirely? I'm not convinced that that is the winning strategy we all need to take. We all have a few things we would like to refine in our own lives, but I think what I have been missing all these years is a community of people who want to help keep me accountable. I find it so easy to cheat on myself when it comes to resolution time, but when I feel like I will be letting others down if I don't follow through on my plan of attack, it always seems to give me the extra boost I need to stay on track. I stumbled across the site called StickK, and I think it might just be the perfect tool that will enable you to liberate yourself from all those past failures.

REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwire - October 26, 2009) - The Gorilla Foundation, home of Koko, the gorilla who can speak to us through the use of American Sign Language (ASL), today announced the winner, selected by Koko herself, of their pumpkin design contest. Pumpkin-loving Koko closely inspected the carved and lighted creation, gently blew into its ear (of all the entries, only the top design she selected sported ears), then dug in and promptly devoured her own smaller carved pumpkin.
Halloween is one of Koko's favorite holidays and every year she eagerly anticipates pumpkin season when her caregivers serve her the orange beauties as well as the roasted seeds. The Gorilla Foundation decided to share Koko's holiday with the community and invited local school, Kings Mountain Elementary, to submit drawings for a pumpkin design contest. The children, grades K-5, drew pumpkin faces. Koko reviewed the designs and selected her top three favorites in rank order. The winner received a photo of Koko posing with the carved pumpkin and a Koko plush doll; the two runners up each received the book "Koko-Love: Conversations with a Gorilla."
Kyle Niermann, of Ms. Bolton's third grade class took first prize. The contest not only delighted Koko, but also helped raise awareness about the Gorilla Foundation's mission of conservation through communication to help protect endangered gorillas.
To view additional photos of Koko's Halloween celebration, please visit: http://www.koko.org/world/halloween. To request access to high-resolution photos, please contact: joanna@kulesafaul.com.
The Gorilla Foundation is dedicated to the preservation, protection and well being of gorillas through interspecies communication research and education -- Conservation through Communication. The Foundation was established in 1976 and is best known for its groundbreaking work with two western lowland gorillas, Koko and Michael, who became adept at using American Sign Language. The results are published in numerous research papers, books and videos available in our bibliography.
The Gorilla Foundation is a non-profit 501c3 corporation and is underwritten by donations from individuals, grants from foundations and corporations, and educational product sales. The Foundation receives no support from government sources. Donate here.

Nothing can beat a delicious cup of coffee for stimulating your mood and metabolism. There are a lot of coffee based decisions that can confuse a normal person. There are a seemingly endless number of flavors and blends, as well as many different coffee venues. Continue reading to learn some helpful tips when it comes to coffee.
If you brew your own pot of coffee, then consider stirring the pot just as the brewing cycle is finished. Stirring your coffee a little bit will enhance its flavor and smell. You'll notice how much better the coffee tastes when it's time to drink.
Do you want more flavorful java than what you get from a drip machine? If you allow the machine to heat up, then let it run with water only, your coffee will be better. After this is finished, you can then repeat as you normally would, adding coffee. In addition, this is an excellent method of cleaning your machine.
Carefully choose the water you use to make your coffee. Using bad water will lead to a poor pot of coffee. You should also keep in mind using mineral-rich water. Without that, your coffee might taste bitter.
Test a new coffee maker a few times after purchasing it. This means brewing water in it like you would a pot of coffee. Dirt and bad smells that accumulate while the machine is on store shelves will be removed.
Always start with fresh, clean tasting water to get the best coffee. If the water is dirty, your coffee isn't going to taste good. Try the water before you add it to your machine.
You should purchase a coffee grinder. Waiting to grind beans until you are about to brew allows the flavorful coffee oils to remain. Generally, grinders will allow you to pre-select how coarse you want your beans ground. If you would rather not have yet another appliance, try to find a coffee maker that has a grinder included.
Use a French press for the best tasting coffee. These types of coffee makers pull out the oils in the coffee beans and deposit them into your drink. Regular coffee machines have paper filters that absorb the flavor-rich oils.
You can make froth for your coffee from milk at home! All you need to do is put it in a measuring cup or microwave-safe mug and heat it up until it steams. Use your hands to quickly rotate a kitchen whisk in the hot milk. Keep doing this until the milk is foamy. Half-and-half, whole milk or 2 percent will give you the optimal results.
Don't keep any coffee storage contains near ovens. Heat can stifle the quality of your coffee beans. Any counter tops or cupboards near the oven should be avoided.
Do you need some change in your coffee drinking routine? Try adding a little chocolate. This will give you some extra energy, and you'll surely enjoy the taste. Try a dark chocolate coffee. It will give you some extra energy to get you through the day.
No matter how much you look forward to your morning coffee, do not pour a cup before it is finished brewing. Even though some machines let you do this, your coffee will be worse. Purchase a device with a preset timer. Your coffee will be ready when you wake up.
If you enjoy having coffee in a variety of flavors, purchase syrups or creamers that you can add after brewing. This will help keep various flavors out of your machine. If you have guests, they can all have individual flavor choices as well. Before adding milk, add the flavors.
Many people use artificial sweeteners in their coffees, and you might be one of them. Often artificial sweeteners will make the coffee have a bland taste. Try drinking black coffee and adding just a pinch of raw sugar to enhance the flavor. If you must use an artificial sweetener, use as little as possible.
If you can't get the flavor you want from one brew, try mixing brews. Visit a specialty coffee shop to find the flavor combination that you like the best.
Coffee can burn fat when it is free of chocolate syrup, sugar, and cream. Do not add sugar or other high calorie syrups to it, however. That does add calories. Some people find that a cup of black coffee to start their day helps with weight control.
As stated in the introduction, the options you have in choosing coffee are many. There are a number of different ways to make coffee at home, and a staggering variety of different place to buy coffee. Hopefully, you now have some ideas about the coffee you'd like to make and how to go about it.

Q: Is there a word for a younger aunt or uncle? A maternal uncle is your mother's brother. What's the term for an uncle that is younger than you, or a niece/nephew that's older?

A: Let's start off by saying a maternal or paternal uncle  is just called an uncle. An uncle is also the husband of your mother's or father's sister, so he is is not always consanguineous. And it doesn't matter how old that uncle is or their order of birth in the family, in today's English he is an 'uncle'.
What's more, there isn't an English diminutive suffix that modifies the noun uncle. For example, in Italian a zio can be called affectionately zietto, not so in English.
Looking at its etymology we find that uncle  is derived from Latin avunculus (a mother's brother) and its literal meaning was "little grandfather", the diminutive of avus "grandfather". Over time it ousted the Middle English terms eam (maternal uncle) and fædera (paternal uncle).
Therefore, uncle originally meant a 'younger grandfather', which indicates that 2,600 years ago there wasn't a specific Latin term for this male relative, the Latin speaking population just added a diminutive suffix to a pre-existing word.
The only alternative soluton that comes to mind is baby uncle. This works if the uncle is either younger or closer in age to his nephews and nieces. In fact, younger children are often called baby sister and baby brother by their elder siblings.
Examples from the net:

*

*My mother's baby brother fixed me up for my graduation. I looked real nice. After my graduation, we went out to eat and my baby uncle drove me around and made me countless drinks to celebrate.
Source

*Most of my family is in Chicago. My baby uncle definitely has his points and truth about our family, but I believe we can all get along to a certain extinct. My family really don't have any major issues, it's just that everyone is so petty. I pray every night that my family will grow up ...
Source

From an article titled My baby Uncle, Ding

*

*Alfredo Roces is the youngest of the Roces-Reyes brood of nine boys. Too close to his age, we, his older nieces—Sylvia, only six years younger, Ninit and myself, eight years—couldn't bring ourselves to call him "Uncle" or "Tito," only "Ding."
Source

Likewise, the term aunt is also derived from Latin, and there are no  terms for a mother's sister, a father's sister, or an "aunt-in-law".

c. 1300, from Anglo-French aunte, Old French ante (Modern French tante, from a 13c. variant), from Latin amita "paternal aunt" diminutive of *amma a baby-talk word for "mother" (cognates: Greek amma "mother," Old Norse amma "grandmother,"...
  Source: Etymonline

But contrary to uncle there is the diminutive form auntie or aunty which dates back to 1787. However, it is a term of endearment and is not confined to a person's age or order of birth.

A: I remember a children's story from my childhood where the protagonist referred to his mother's sister (younger than him) as his "pocket aunt."  Unfortunately I cannot find any attestation on the internet other than one Reddit link, so this usage cannot be considered particularly common.

A: An uncle or an aunt   who are younger than their nieces or nephews are called uncle and aunt. The terms are not based on age but on parental relationships:

*

*the brother of someone's mother or father, or the husband of someone's aunt or uncle:

(Cambridge Dictionary)

A: In English, relationships are based purely on family lineage and gender of the person. Some languages distinguish on other features, for example:

*

*In Swedish, mother's mother is mormor; father's mother is farmor. In English, both are grandmother.

*In Thai, elder brother is pêe; younger brother is nóng. In English, both are brother.

So to directly answer your question, such people are simply aunt/uncle/niece/nephew.
In an informal context, many people would refer to an uncle who is approximately their age as a cousin. While it's strictly incorrect, you don't need to explain your family history to everyone you have a casual interaction with. If someone challenges this, they are your "zeroth cousin once removed" (thanks Wossname!)

A: "Younger uncle" is probably your best bet.  Just as you might say "younger brother" to mean a brother who is younger than yourself (as opposed to a brother who is younger than your other brother).
There are languages (e.g. Chinese), where you use a separate word for the same genetic association based on age (e.g. 妹妹 vs 姐姐), but English does not do that.

A: "Younger uncle", as others have suggested, would more probably convey that of your two uncles, he's the younger. I would not expect it to be interpreted relative to yourself.
I've known several cases of this, and they've always been introduced in a full sentence, like "He's actually my uncle, even though he's younger than me".


Nintendo has had a big impact on a lot of our childhoods. They know this and do whatever they can to hit that nostalgia button as often as possible. And let's be honest for a lot of us it usually works. One of the most recent examples of this tactic was the inclusion of a collection of NES games as part of the Nintendo Switch Online service. While this may not be for everyone, for fans of the Super Mario Bros. generation there was an exclusive 'members-only' product that probably caught your eye: "the full-size Nintendo Entertainment System Controllers for Nintendo Switch".
While it was an irritation that they only work while playing the Online NES games, they are a thing of beauty and I'm sure I was not the only one quite keen on getting my hands on the special controllers. But just how do you get the controllers here in SA? Well, as the retro-styled controllers are only available to those that have paid for an online membership it's not as straightforward as visiting your local Nintendo Pop-up store with a small wad of cash.
First, your membership is linked to your Nintendo account (which local suppliers would not have easy access to). So there has to be a way of confirming your membership prior to purchase and doing so online is the easiest way to do this; So you'll have to visit the Nintendo.co.za website (here), sign in and then place your order. Then, we have to consider that SA falls under the care of Nintendo of Europe – and here is where the weaker Rand and the distance to Europe plays a big part. The first thing you'll notice is that the controllers are priced in Euros. €59,99 to be exact (or just over R950). A quick conversion and you'll realise that it is already more than the $59.99 (around R840) advertised during the reveal for the US. Then you have to add in the €22,50 (around R360) for shipping to South Africa. This means the total cost will likely be upwards of R1,300 (and likely closer to R1,400 if not R1,500).
So what do you think South Africans – spending just under R1K for new old-school controllers already felt a little steep, now because of a few extra steps, will you be willing to spend nearly a grand and a half for some childhood nostalgia? Let us know in the comments section below.


This is an entirely new experience for you. You've been to the doctor plenty of times in your life. You've seen a couple specialists. You've even made your way into the hospital to have a broken bone mended. But this is a completely different kind of doctor's visit.
It's not a broken arm. It's not a bad cough. It's your back. And you're nervous. You're nervous you might hear the worst news – that you need spine surgery.
You're picturing the spine surgery center as a place with people in pain – people recovering from their procedures. You're imagining a hospital but worse.
But it's nothing like that. You'll be welcomed warmly at your NJ spine surgery center and will fill out any necessary paperwork – the usual. Then you'll be brought in to see the doctor.
Your doctor will have a long discussion with you, making sure he understands the pain your feeling, when it started, and how long it's been going on for. He'll ask you a series of questions about your pain as he needs as much information as possible. Before visiting your NJ spine surgery center, make sure you note as much information about your pain as possible. Pay attention to the type of pain you feel. Note how long it lasts and when you usually feel it. Jot down any specific positions you feel it more severely in. Take note of any activities that make it worse. You get the idea.
Come prepared with all that information on a piece of paper. You think it would be easy to know off the top of your head but you'd be surprised just how much you get "used to" the pain and don't even realize the specifics.
After your surgeon completely understands your history and pain from your perspective, it'll be time to run some tests, including x-rays among others. He'll then have a better idea of what's causing your pain and the severity of the issue.
Then, he may call for additional tests or may have all the information he needs. You'll discuss treatment options. A good surgeon will be patient with you and give you all the time you need, answering all your questions and making sure you're comfortable with the direction of your treatment.
And your surgeon should recommend exhausting all non-surgical treatment options before resorting to surgery (unless your condition is so severe that surgery is the only option). That's another fear you might have had – that, as soon as you walk into an NJ spine surgery center, it means you're going to have surgery. And that's just not true. Spine surgeons want to do everything they can to keep you from surgery – the good ones anyway. They know that, no matter how good they are, there is still risk and they want to avoid that risk.
Before surgery, they'll likely recommend you try things like physical therapy, steroids, and medication. At your visit, you'll agree on a treatment plan that you're comfortable with and get started. And that's all you should expect from your first visit to an NJ spine surgery center.

6-Series Convertible
RWD, AWD
3.0l I6 T, 4.4l V8 T
A8, M6, SM7
15-21 (city), 19-31 (highway)
The 6-Series is BMW's most exclusive 2-door model series. With a base price of over $90,000, this four passenger convertible model is almost without equal. BMW's German competitors offer convertible roadsters in this price range, but the 6-Series manages to keep a tight but usable rear seat. There are several four-passenger convertibles for less money including BMW's own 3-Series convertible. The convertible is a power-retractable soft top that opens in 19 seconds and closes in 24 seconds. The 650i equips a 400-bhp 4.4l V8 under the hood which is paired with an either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic. The 640i model pairs BMW's 3.0L inline six with an eight-speed automatic to achieve an impressive EPA rating of 21 / 31 (city / highway). BMW claims that the 650i convertible can sprint to 60MPH in 4.9s. Like other modern BMW models, the 6-Series is chock full of exotic materials and cutting-edge driving aids. Owners can brag about the standard 10.2-inch center screen or the 20-way adjustable seats (650i).
What Changed:
The second-generation 6-series has grown appreciably longer and wider. The 650i convertible retains its soft-top convertible and four-passenger seating. Power is provided by either a 3.0L inline 6 (640i) or a 4.4l V8 (650i) rated at 400-bhp. An eight-speed automatic is standard on the 640i. The 650i offers a six-speed manual in addition to the automatic. The 6-Series range now includes an all-wheel-drive model (650i xDrive). The new interior features a standard 10.2-inch center screen designed to minimize glare.
