BMW M3, 2016

Natal on BMW M3 almost 5 thousand kilometers. Impressions positive mass, but there are negative. The main plus of the new "Emki" is, of course, how she rides. The car is just fantastic, it creates a feeling that under the hood is not 430, but all 500-550 horses, in the seat pushes very much. Also in the car the incredible body rigidity and a fairly small weight, and, as a result, the car ruls greatly, there are no rolls. I would like to note the quality of the robot box and the motor in combat mode: the transfers are shouting up lightning, the box is not tupit and really feels the driver. This is the first automatic in my life, which does not infuriate me in the "combat" mode. Design: angry, bright, bold, looks just fantastic, turns heads. In my opinion, the best design in the classroom. Very pleased with NBT in every sense: smart works, nice graphics, the largest screen size in the class, everything is very convenient and thoughtful. Carbonocramper is a thing. I strongly advise everyone who is going to take M-ku. The car is stopped simply a phenomal, "tired" much longer than ordinary brakes.

To surprise for himself, found a lot of minuses. I do not care about the type of people who will suck the thickness of the glue under the rubber gasket somewhere in the trunk, but the shortcomings are very difficult not to notice. Despite the fairly high-quality road covering in Europe, the noise level from the road is very high, noise insulation in the BMW M3 is absent almost completely. At high speeds (160 km / h), travel tediously, you can only talk in an increased tone. About the sound of row 6-ki did not write only lazy. The times of the legendary M5 E60 and its fantastic V10 adequately sounding M-ok was not, but the new M3 and M4 sounds simply failing. Reminds the lawn mower, no joke. Another interesting observation: from the three modes of operation of the Efficient, Sport and Sport Plus motor, the most interesting from the point of view of sound seemed Sport. Many wrote about the dongy and sharpness of the M-robot, I was informed before buying, in practice it was confirmed. Robot "poses" in the city, even in a calm mode, trying to keep the arrow in the region of 2.5-3 thousand, often maintained at low speeds. In the BMW M3 cabin, frankly cheap plastic of disgusting quality in niches for door handles (from within). Also, the handbrake is also completely accomplished. The stand for the left leg is made in aluminum, but the BMW's pedals clearly saved and did not bother to establish aluminum lining.

About the series

BMW M3 - series of sports versions bMW cars 3 series. M3 models are based on the Body Bodges E30, E36, E46, E90 / E92 / E93 and F80. In contrast to the final "third series", sports versions M, obtained improved specifications: Sports suspension, powerful power plants. Externally, such cars are distinguished by aggressive and aerodynamic kit, and a common sports style as an interior, so exterior.

BMW M3 was produced since 1986. The production of M models of the 3rd series stretched 5 generations of cars.

The M3 series was produced in 5 generations:

• The first generation was produced on the basis of the E30 Body from 1986 to 1991. The car was officially represented as part of the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1985, and a year later, the car was enrolled in mass production. The model was intended to participate in races, and was a competitor to the sedan Mercedes-Benz 190 E2.5-16. Auto received a modified suspension geometry, other shock absorbers and springs, aerodynamic kites and extended wings. The car became easier, received a powerful power unit, which allowed the model to demonstrate the stunning indicators of the speakers: to "hundreds" the model could accelerate in 6.7 seconds, and the running and power characteristics unequivocally pointed to the sports component of the BMW M3 in the E30 Body. In 1987, the car was rascaling, as a result, the car received shock absorbers with an adjustable resistance system, in 1989 the model was acquired and an upgraded power plant with an enlarged power. In total for 5 years of production, 16202 copies of the first generation models were released. bMW series M3.
• The model of the second generation in the body of E36 began to be issued in 1992. This generation, in contrast to the E30-X BMW M3, was distinguished by the presence of an enhanced comfort salon. As for external changes, the design of mirrors, bumper and thresholds was recycled. The car received a different power plant, and some components of the chassis. 2 years after the start of release, in 1994, the car began to be sold also in a sedan and convertible bodies. The second-generation models were also produced for 5 years, and for all the time the volume of the vehicle issued was 71242 vehicles.
• The third-generation models were made in the E46 body from 2000 to 2006. The release of the third generation was made in Regensburg, the models of the new generation of the sports version of the BMW M3, differed from the third series of advanced wheel arches, the front sports bumper, a new powerful power unit and sports elements of the chassis of the car. In 2001, a year after the generation of generation into mass production, the selection of the body was expanded: BMW M3 E46 in the body of a convertible was available to purchase. In 2003, a lightweight model was created with body panels from carbon fiber, and an enlarged motor capacity. Also, this year a sports racing modification of a car with a powerful power plant was released. The total amount of BMW M3 E46 vehicles manufactured for 6 years has reached a number of 85744 copies.
• From 2007 to 2013, BMW M3 models were produced, belonging to the 4th generation of the series. As for the body gamut, the car enthusiasts for the purchase were available bodies such as a sedan, a compartment, a convertible coupe with a rigid folding roof. The car received a new, powerful power plant and a different transmission, and the corresponding elements of the chassis. Unlike models of the usual third series, the car received a finalized suspension system, a self-locking differential, aluminum hood and a plastic roof (in this embodiment, only 4 generation coupe was performed). BMW M3 4 generations received a completely recycled front design. In 2009, a limited circulation of 350 units was released at sports, lighter and powerful car 4 generations: BMW M3 GTS. For 5 years bMW release M3 4 generation 0l was produced in an amount of 66,000 copies.
• 5 Generation BMW M3 began to be issued in 2014 in the body F The car received a more lightweight body compared to the usual "third series", and a more rigid suspension system. The car began to be equipped with a powerful power unit, improved elements of the chassis of the car. In 2016, the delivery of the model to Russia was discontinued.

BMW M3 E46 GTR was presented in a computer game Need for Speed \u200b\u200bMost Wanted 2005, this once again popularized not only a specific car model, but also the products of Munich autocontrace.

Depending on the generation of the car and its modification, the BMW M3 was equipped with the following power plants:

1. Petrol power unit with a working volume from 2.3 to 2.5 liters and with a capacity of 195 to 220 hp In different years of the issue was installed on the car of the first generation M3.
2. Petrol power unit with a working volume of 3 liters and a capacity of 286 to 295 hp It was in the equipment of the second generation of BMW M3;
3. The model of the third generation of BMW M3 was equipped with a 3.2 liter motor and 360 horsepower;
4. Cars fourth generation of the sports series BMW M3, received engines with a working volume from 3.2 to 4 liters and with a capacity of 420 to 450 "horses", respectively;
5. BMW M3 F30 has received a three-liter power plant having a power of 431 hp

In the process of car release, in different years, limited batches of machines having heavy duty motors appeared, and the corresponding parts of the part sound system Auto.

Interior

As for the salon model of the model, the sports character of the car hints a bulk chubby three-person multifunctional steering wheel, overlays on the thresholds of their aluminum and a platform intended for resting legs. The seats have a low landing, comfortable and possess lateral support.

As for the materials of the interior of the salon space, they use aluminum, wood, soft and pleasant plastic and genuine leather here. Directly behind the steering wheel is the dashboard, on the center console, you can find a tablet of a multimedio system as well as aircraft deflectors. The audio and climate control authorities are placed below.

Attention! The interior of the car is sufficiently comfortable: high-quality assembly of salon panels, excellent noise insulation, high quality pleasant to the touch of finishing materials: and in the initial configuration. The ergonomic optimal location of the instruments, and additional devices on the center console, comfortable chairs and the volumetric luggage compartment, allow you to use the car not only for installing sports records, but also for solving everyday tasks.

Rear sofa makes it possible to accommodate three people with comfort: this is especially true when traveling over long distances. The luggage space of the car has quite considerable volume: 480 liters, thanks to the correct configuration of the luggage compartment of the machine, you can carry quite overall loads in it. The possibility of transformation of the cabin, allow almost twice to increase the space luggage compartment car.

Electronics

The car received a multimedia IDRIVE system. Its features include the possibility of broadcasting the image removed by the rear view chamber. The system also includes navigation, television, Internet and all sorts of motor settings, chassis, gearbox and its accelerator. The disadvantages of the multifunctional multimedia system include an incomprehensible interface.

In addition to the advanced multimedia system, the car can boast a large number of assistants, allowing to increase the comfort of using the machine and the safety of the driver and passengers inside the cabin: anti-lock system, stabilizer transverse stability, light and rain sensors, passive cruise control, etc.

Features

Concerning technical features car, then celebrate carbon cardan Val., the front wings, the hood from aluminum and the roof of carbon fiber made the car easier, which is associated using the high-speed and dynamic properties of the auto in the design of the F80.

Carbon stretching in the engine compartment, aluminum subframe, forged suspension elements significantly increase the body structure of almost 20% compared with the models of the previous generation.

The power unit of the BMW M3 5 generation model, works in conjunction with a mechanical six-speed gearbox, and a seven-speed robotic transmission. "Mechanics" can automatically carry out fug with transitions to the lower transmission, and the "robot" is equipped with a separate cooling circuit, which ensures the high performance of the system with long-term racing track or extreme driving. Seven-step robotic transmission has two clutches.

The fifth generation of BMW M3 F80 (2017-2018) was first shown to the public at the North American Motor Show in 2014. The car was sold in Europe in the spring of 2014, and she arrived in Russia only in the summer of the same year. The model is currently produced only in the body of the sedan, and the computers and convertible manufacturers make the manufacturers in a separate model and called, but we will talk about it in another review.

This is a new series and therefore it differs fundamentally from the past, the model has become completely different, but it is still recognized in the stream. Review We will begin by tradition with design.

Exterior

As we have already said the appearance of the car has changed very much, her muzzle received a long hood with a lot of relief. Optics matches the civil version this carShe is a narrow, stuffing LED and of course there are corporate angelic eyes.

There is a branded radiator lattice between the headlights, which has chrome edging, it in turn is connected to the headlights. A sufficiently massive, aerodynamic and aggressive bumper, which in the lower part has two huge air intakes. The bumper looks really terrible.

Also cardinal changes The side part of the BMW M3 2017-2018 model was also undergone. Here is present after the front arch of the gash with a chrome decoration, from which the top line of the body goes, passing through the opening handles, it looks cool. Wheel arches are strong enough, also in the lower part there is a small stepper, which in turn connects visual arches among themselves. The design of the rear-view mirrors has changed, at first glance, it seems that they have two racks, but this is not the case, one stand.

Also, the back of the car was also seriously changed, it got a large trunk lid, which in the upper part has a small, but still a noticeable spoiler. From behind there is an aggressive branded optics, allowing you to know the manufacturer by her style. The rear bumper is also sufficiently massive, there are reflectors that look concern. Also under the bumper there are four nozzles of the release system with a chic sound.

The dimensions of the model also changed:

• length - 4671 mm;
• width - 1877 mm;
• height - 1424 mm;
• wheelbase - 2812 mm.

Specifications BMW M3 F80

Also, the manufacturer has changed the filling of the model. There is an inline six-cylinder engine with a volume of 3 liters. This motor is equipped with a turbine and produces it 431 horsepower and 550 units of torque. The unit works in a pair with a robotic seven-step gearbox, but also a six-speed mechanic is also offered.

The model will constantly rear drive, All-wheel drive versions manufacturer does not offer. All this gave a good dynamics of 4 seconds to the first hundred and 250 kilometers per hour of maximum speed limited by electronics. Also, with a quiet ride, it is in principle not so voracious, you will have 11 liters of 98th gasoline in the city and 7 liters on the highway. Of course, if you drive, then these figures will be significantly higher.

The manufacturer took the suspension from the civil version, but it changed her slightly. The rear and front subframe changed almost completely most of Elements in the chassis were made of aluminum. And so this is a classic MacPherson in front and a multi-dimensional system from behind. In addition, the model has excellent disc brakes with ventilation, 4-piston brakes are installed in front of 2-piston. For more money, a ceramic system is also offered, which is significantly better than basic. The model is perfectly controlled, and there are driving modes, which affects the rigidity and ease of control.

As we have already said, the model has a rear-wheel drive, but it introduced an active differential with electronically control Blocking wheels, and also installed a carbonistic cardan shaft, making it easier than the civil version.

Salon BMW M3.

Also, a significant change compared to the previous generation was interior with a model. Very high quality materials are used, such as good skin, Alcantara and many carbon rates. In addition, at a high level and quality of assembly.

The passenger and the driver receive excellent leather sports seats with elegant lateral support and electrically regulatory. In addition, hearing the heated chairs may still be present. The rear row is a sofa created for three passengers, it has a leather trim, can also have heated. There is not much free place there, but it is in principle enough. For rear passengers There are two air deflectors and a 12V socket.

The BMW M3 F80 pilot (2017-2018) will get a thin leather 3-tape steering wheel, which is decorated with aluminum inserts, and also has 10 buttons to control the multimedia system. In addition, there is a gearbox petals on the steering wheel if the box is robotic. Driving, we see the dashboard, which has four analog sensors with chrome edging. Speedometer sensors and tachometer in size are large and therefore displays are placed in the lower part, which are essentially on-board computer.

The central console immediately at the top meets us with a large display of the multimedia system. Under it we see a classic picture for this manufacturer - these are two air deflector, between which there are alarm buttons and blocking windows. Under this, we already meet the volume control selector and switching radio stations, also in the area there is a slot for CDs. Under these already selectors, there is a block of separation climate control, it represents two familiar tweeks, the display in the middle, on which all the information and a bunch of buttons are displayed, in principle everything is clear, but at first glance, they are a little afraid.

A tunnel, located between the driver and the front passenger, has a pair of boxes at the very beginning for smaller. After it, we see the gearbox selector, to the left of which are the on / off buttons of ESP and other things. On the right carbon insert, on which the washer is located and several buttons to control the multimedia system, and the parking brake handbrake is located on the left. It is unlikely that someone will use the trunk in this car. But still, if there are such people, he will delight you, so its volume is equal to 480 liters.

Price BMW M3.

As we said the model began to sell almost after the start of sales, around the world a little later. Basic equipment Models Stoila 3,222,000 rublesFor this money you received the following:

• combined salon covering;
• sport seats;
• separate climate control;

As a result, I would like to say that the BMW M3 F80 is a gorgeous car for a young guy who can use it, both for the usual urban ride for any cases and as a weekend car. Yes, it is not the most comfortable, but it is tolerant and plus it gives it just unimaginable emotions and pleasure.

Video

This car from the very beginning of its existence was doomed to success. The technological chassis, a powerful motor and aggressive design attracted many fans to the brand from around the world. However, and today, the Bavarian sports car continues the victorious procession in the light, increasingly expanding the army of its admirers.

I generation (E30)

The first generation of BMW M3 was shown to the public in 1985, in the framework of one of the international auto leaders. The presentation of the model prototype model took place in 1986 on the Mugello Racing Ring, whereas the car appeared only in 1987 on sale.

For its time, the BMW 3-series with the "M" prefix was a very technological car. So, the suspension had progressive stiffness of shock absorbers and several modes of operation (Comfort, Normal, Sport), and the brake system was equipped with ABS and pump high pressure. The latter also provided the operability of the power steering.

Under the hood, there were 2.3 liters motors with different power characteristics - from 195 to 238 horsepower. A mechanical transmission with five steps worked with the power plants.

Body row:

• Coupe.
• Coupe-convertible.

View of users

BMW M3 has only positive reviews. To all those who were lucky enough to own this machine, celebrate its outstanding challenges and stunning charisma. At the same time, the suspension requires attention, which can often fail the electron-controlled shock absorbers, and the clutch of the mechanical box is prone to overheating.

Market value

Test

Appearance

This "Bavarian" looks aggressive. Such a look gives it anterior bumper with low sink, aerodynamic kit, rear anti-car, as well as the dual nozzle of the exhaust system. Additionally, it is necessary to highlight extended wheeled arches and wheels R16 on alloy discs.

Salon

The interior looks respectable, but at the same time not deprived of sports notes. Remarkably three-spin steering wheel, speedometer with marking up to 260 kilometers per hour, as well as the central console, turned to the driver. On the tunnel, near the parking brake lever, the suspension controller is located. Ergonomics are ideal, but the assembly is not perfect - the panels are seamlessly seeded.

On the run

Motor lacks moment on low revolutionsBut it is easily compensated by a pronounced praise on high, which pushes into the back of the seat. The accelerator pedal is a bit tight, but short-terrestrial and allows you to accurately dose the thrust on the wheels.

The mechanical transmission pleases with clear shifts, although the moves of the lever could be shorter.

The steering wheel is nice of pleasant severity and very informative. Stability on direct does not cause questions, but in the bridges there is a tendency to the rear axle drift, which limits the speed of the arc.

II generation (E36)

The next "charged" version of the BMW 3-Series appeared in 1992. From the predecessor, the new "M-ka" is significantly different and the design, and the technical part.

Thus, the optics of the head lighting now has a different design of reflectors and united into single blocks. The body lost deliberately square outlines and became more streamlined. The new design of the bumpers has improved the design of the car as a whole, and also reduced its aerodynamic resistance coefficient, increased the cooling efficiency of the brake system.

The chassis has shock absorbers with progressive characteristics. To improve the stability and responsiveness of the steering control, the silent blocks are made pressed. The rear gearbox has a lock, which makes it possible to more rationally dispose of the motor type.

The BMW M3 movement is given:

• Motor 3.0 liters. Power is equal to 286 forces. 5mkp is aggregated.
• 3.2 liter power unit. Develops 321 "Horse". Works together with a six-speed mechanical transmission.

• Sedan.
• Coupe.
• Coupe-convertible.

What do users think?

This car is an incarnation of uncompromising, which is very pleased with its owners. Meanwhile, reliability is not strong side "M-ki." Attention requires synchronizers of the box, as well as an engine that does not like overheating and oil starvation.

Price policy

Test

Exterior

The rapidness of this car gives low aerodynamic kit, the front bumper with a low splitter. At the time, as a variety of wheels with a diameter of 17 inches - respectability. Volumetric exhaust pipes and expressive hood lines hint at the considerable potential of the motor.

Interior

The salon pleases with the solid materials of the finishes and comfort. From the sports attributes - a chubby steering wheel with three knitting needles, carbon fiber inserts on the front panel and a tunnel, as well as armchairs with a pronounced side support. Dashboard With a blue background, there is a display of an on-board computer and read perfectly under any conditions.

The driver's seat although it has a pleasant configuration, but it is high. In the rear sofa, two passengers can well comfortably coexist, but the third will complain about the tightness in the shoulders.

Riding Properties

The powerful engine allows you to feel on the road more than confidently, however, in urban conditions it is not disclosed. Motor loves high speed, constantly provoking a sensitive gas pedal on them. The same can be said about the transmission - tight pedal The clutch and short-terrestrial scene of the lever will not quietly move in a common urban stream.

Controllability will delight even the most sophisticated drivers. The steering wheel is modeled heavy, but at the same time very responsive when rotating for small angles.

Rolls during the passage of turns are almost absent, but there is a pronounced excessive turning, which gives a mass of emotions when the accelerator is recessed into the floor.

The brake system is highly resistant to overheating. In addition, the brake pedal has a free move and allows you to slowly slow down without jerks.

III generation (E46)

BMW M3 saw the light in 2000. The car conceived as a logical and successful continuation of the previous version in the Body E36.

The design smoothly evolved from the angularity of forms to rapidness. The optics of the headlight and the rear lights have become more attractive, and the radiator grille in the form of "nostrils" is expressive.

The main feature of the inner decoration was the presence of a multimedia system with a large and color screen. In addition to playing CD / DVD discs, the complex is able to display navigation readings, as well as television.

The technical characteristics of the new BMW M3 also underwent innovations. Engineers made a bet on a decrease in unsaturated masses, as well as an increase in the power structure of the body. There was a differential of high friction, allowing to get out of rotation at high speed.

The motor line was limited to an aggregate of 3.2 liters with an inline position of six cylinders. This engine gave out from 333 to 360 horsepower. Worked together with six-speed mechanical or robotic transmissions.

Body row:

• Coupe.
• Coupe-convertible.

View of users

Many brand fans consider this M-ku one of the last real BMW, which was equipped with an atmospheric engine and had uncompromising chassis settings. However, reviews indicate the mediocre reliability of the Bavarian sports car. For example, the front suspension levers do not serve for a long time during exploitation by bad roads, and multimedia system Periodically needs reprogramming due to failures and freezes.

Test

Exterior

The fastest BMW 3-series third generation looks attractive, but strictly. The sports genes of this car will lead low kit, front bumper with a pronounced "lip", four nozzles of the exhaust system, as well as the "gills" of cooling on the front wings. Through 18-inch wheels are peeled perforated brake discs.

Interior

Salon is saturated with an atmosphere of drive. Such aura creates a three-spoke steering wheel with tides in a natural grip zone, a dashboard with an informative on-board computer and with color indication of maximum engine speeds, as well as aluminum inserts on the torpedo. The display of the multimedia complex has a pleasant graphics, as well as a clear menu.

The driver's seat with severe side support rollers does not constrain the driver, but provides its clear fixation. Electric adjustments with memory will get rid of the need to constantly pick up a convenient position.

In move

The six-cylinder engine has a smooth characteristic of the moment in the entire turn range, so that the dips are excluded. This makes it possible to confidently accelerate from any speeds, as well as on any transmission.

The steering is responsive, but not nervous, so it is possible to always hold the car strictly within the framework of the course. In case of turning, there are minor rolls, and the rotation is neutral and predictable - no hints for demolition.

IV generation (E90)

Light saw new BMW M3 in 2007 within the framework of the exhibition in Frankfurt. Not everyone reacted to the design of Chris Bangla definitely, however, the technical progress of the novelty was funeral.

This time the creators tried to pay attention to comfort. Therefore, relative to the previous generation model length and width of the new body (sedan) increased by 8 and 3 centimeters, while the wheelbase is 3.5 centimeters.

Under the hood now hides absolutely new Motor - still atmospheric, but with a V-shaped arrangement of eight cylinders and a volume of 4.0 liters. Power point Developed 420 horsepower. Published six-speed "mechanics" or a semi-band "robot".

Body variations:

• Sedan (E90).
• Coupe (E92).
• Coupe-convertible (E93).

Opinion opinion

Many people had a comfortable and functional salon of the Bavarian sports car, as well as good riding comfort. In terms of reliability, the motor is deserved, inclined to overheating, as well as a robotic box that requires periodic flashing.

Market value

Test

Outside

This "M-ka" looks spectacular and even beautiful. It is worth noting the elegant lines of the body, "rich" optics of head lighting, as well as low aerodynamic kit. Aggression gives the front bumper with bulk sections of air cooling, wide wheel arches, four volumetric exhaust system pipes.

Inside

The design of the front panel may seem ascetic, but this minimalism has reflected on ergonomics only for the better - the main governments are intuitive, without requiring their search. The dashboard with silver edging has a tachometer, the red zone of which is marked over 8000 revolutions per minute, and the steering wheel is stitched with a red thread.

Idrive system is functional, even too. It gives an overview from the rear view camera, navigation, chassis / steering parameters and so on. However, difficulties occur with the interface - the menu has too much submenu, which does not allow you to quickly activate the desired option.

The driver's seat is equipped with servos of rollers side support, pillows, lumbar protrusion. The chair is suitable for a complex of any person, while ensuring reliable fixation and proper comfort.

Riding qualities

The engine has an impressive burden on "Nizakh", but most likely likes when the tachometer arrow comes in 6,500 revolutions per minute - then you can feel rude, but pleasant pickup, as well as intensive acceleration, "imprinted" in the back of the chair. Acceleration is accompanied by the morning and slightly nervous lever of the exhaust system, which bodies blood.

The test drive revealed that the handling is excellent, but relative to the previous M3 - somewhat impulvet. In particular, the steering control lacks sensitivity in the trust of the ram on large angles, and rolls are felt in the turns.

But, the Bavarian sports car can pamper a high smoothness of the stroke, even if small irregularities. In this merit of elastic suspension with an honest Comfort regime.

V Generation (F80)

The newest BMW M3 was shown to the public in 2014. Before the premiere of the Internet, a video tizer was published, which demonstrated the possibilities of a sports car.

The car surprised their fans to the aggressive design, as well as the technical component. Thus, the mass of the new M3 relative to the predecessor decreased by 85 kilograms, while the body dimensions increased. This became possible due to the extensive introduction into the structure of the body of the elements of carbon fiber, aluminum, as well as to increase its rigidity.

In the procession space, a pressing motor Cubature 3.0 liter was hidden. Its potential is calculated 431 and 450 forces. A mechanical transmission with six transmissions or a seven-speed "robot" works with the engine.

Two-door modifications disappeared from the body gamma. Therefore, you can only buy a fifth generation of the Bavarian sports car in the body of a sedan.

Test

Exterior appearance

"Charged" version of the BMW 3-series looks terrible, but effectively. This was made possible by the front bumper with massive blowers, convex hood and wheel Ark, low body kit, as well as a massive diffuser with dual exhaust pipes. The brake system is notable for perforated discs, yellow calipers.

Salon

The inner space pleases with luxurious finishing materials and a pleasant front panel architecture. The chubby steering wheel is conveniently falling into the hands, and the dashboard provides the necessary information and is perfectly perceived by the eye under any conditions.

The front armors are equipped with a variety of adjustments and provide a body reliable fixation with active driving. As for the rear sofa, it will not be comfortable even three, because there is plenty of width and for knees.

On the run

The turbocharged motor gives the Bavarian sedan with outstanding acceleration dynamics due to excess thrust in the entire turn range. But at the same time, the sound of the exhaust system is devoid of formidable notes, which slightly slows down the degree of excitement.

Steering is characterized by exemplary reactive effort and high sensitivity. When turning the rolls of rolls, as such, absent, and the resistance to the arc is the maximum. At the same time, the suspension is able to provide a relatively high smoothness of the stroke, not strongly shook out the saddles on small road irregularities.
