Now focus on machines, which are more often dreaming than driving.
BMW 6 Series and BMW 8 Series
Tradition to produce status, beautiful and slightly selfish Grand People's Class Machines since 1937 in the BMW 327, coupe and cabriolet on the short-circuit BMW 326. The successors of the model in 1955 were the magnificent coupe and the BMW 503 convertible, the basis for which the BMW 502 sedan served . They were created with a loaf at the Mercedes-Benz 300sl and 190sl, but, alas, like the "Baroque Angel", remained unclaimed because of the price, the equivalent value of the house! Now it is the rarest collectible specimens, issued by the amount, slightly exceeding 400 pieces.
In 1962, a BMW 3200 CS was replaced by the 501th model, another large coupe, which became the last in a row of the luxury 8-cylinder cars of the early post-war stage. The body of an elegant car designed the Italian Atelier Bertone, and the famous "Hofmister bend" of the rear arm of the body became another visiting card of the Bavarian design. As in the case of BMW 503, the sale of the car was small.

BMW 3200.
Attentive reader noted that the BMW 2000 sedan was for some reason the TYP 121 index, and not 120. The thing is that TYP 120 assigned a BMW Neue Klasse Coupe coupe (BMW 2000c with a single-frame engine capacity of 100 hp and BMW 2000cs with 120 hp dubbulator engine).
Although the concept of a new tourist coupe was similar to the predecessors, the BMW 2000cs was based on the class platform class lower than executive cars, and therefore Neue Klasse Coupe can be considered Prasur for the 6th series.
BMW 2000cs.
The official appearance of the "six" took place in 1975 with the release of the BMW E24, which received the official name of BMW 6 Series. This car had common aggregates with the "five" BMW E12, although externally looked like a "seven" E23. The release of the first "six" stopped in 1989, and the next generation of cars of the 6th series began only in 2003, in the body E63. Modern "Sixers" is a 2-door coupe F13 and a F12 convertible and a 4-door Cup 6ER Gran Coupe F06, based on the BMW 5ER F10 platform and equipped with 6- and 8-cylinder engines.
BMW 6 Series.
And what's the coupe on the units of executive sedans? They returned gradually. At first in 1968, BMW 2800CS was released with an E9 index, which was a seriously finalized BMW 2000C with an increased wheeled base and a new, more powerful engine. Then in 1971, it was replaced by 3.0cs, and the oligation versions of this model successfully performed in European and world races, consolidating the company's image as a manufacturer of sports cars. Generation generation E9 amounted to more than 44 thousand cars for 8 years.

In 1989, a new model BMW 8 Series, dividing engines and platform with the BMW of the 7th series appeared. A large tourist compartment turned out to be technically sophisticated (for example, the "eight" among the world's first cars received an electronic gas pedal) having an impressive basic and optional equipment, powerful (at first it was aggregated only by 12-cylinder engines with a capacity of 300 and 380 hp) But at the same time heavy and very expensive.

Buyers scared not only the price, but also excessive weight for the sports coupe, so in 1993 the public offered a cheaper version of the machine with an 8-cylinder engine with a capacity of 286 hp. Nevertheless, from 1989 to 1999, only about 31,000 cars were produced.
Currently in the BMW model range there is no coupe class "Gran Tourismo", designed on the aggregates of the current 7th series. There are always chances for revival.
BMW Z Series.
In addition to the luxury coupe and cabriolets, BMW has built sports double roadster. The attitude of the BMW 315/1 1934, which was equipped with a 40-strong 2-liter 6-cylinder engine. It was able to accelerate up to 120 km / h, thanks to which he defeated its competitors on the mountain passes of international alpine racing.

From 1935 by his heir, since 1935 became BMW 328, another legendary car, who defeated rivals in the class "Sports cars without compressor" in the Italian races "Mill Mille", held in 1938. In addition, the car in a closed body version has achieved victories in 24-hour races "Le Mans", and in Mill Mille 1940.

The class of compact roadster gaps the BMW gamut from 1940 to 1988, while the Bavarians do not produce the original BMW Z1 roadster. It has a roof of aluminum, folding into the trunk by pressing the button, and unusual doors retracting into the threshold of the machine. Model was produced until 1991, and in 1995 its place occupies BMW Z3 (E36 / 7), built on the basis of the BMW of the 3rd Series (E36). It is curious that in the same year the car appeared on the screens in the film about James Bond Golden Eye, which rooted the interest of the public to the model.

BMW Z3 (E36 / 7)
At first, the car was equipped with weak engines with a volume of 1.8 and 1.9 liters, but under pressure of criticism in 1997, a 6-cylinder 2.8-liter motor with a capacity of 189 hp appeared. In 1999, a coupe with an E36 / 8 index was added to the route.
Generation change affects the name of the model: In 2002, the BMW Z4 roadster (E85 index) comes out, and in 2005-M - Z4 Coupe (E86), according to the tradition of the platform with the new Troika E46. An important detail was that Z4 for the first time in the history of BMW received steering with an electric powerful.
The current class of compact BMW roadster has been embodied in the second generation of Z4 with an E89 index. The rigid multisective folding roof allowed one model to immediately close vacant places and a closed coupe, and an open rhodster.
BMW Z4.
It is impossible not to mention and standing a mansion of large roadsters, which once produced by BMW. This is the magnificent BMW 507 1956, which is positioned as a Sports Car of the Luxury, and its ideological heir to the BMW Z8 1999, made in retrostile. Both cars are very rare and have a collective status.

BMW M Series.
A mansion from other BMW models cost M-series cars. BMW M GmbH is a subsidiary of the BMW concern, originally created in 1972 to support factory teams and projects. The first work was the BMW 3.0 CSL, called "Batmobile" due to a kind of aerodynamic body kit, which brightened on the races of the 70s of the European Touring Car Championship and Fia World Sportscar Championship.
In the late 70s of the last century, Lamborghini and BMW planned an ambitious joint project, according to which the Italian company had to develop chassis details, collect prototypes and release some civil versions of racing machines for oligation.
The financial situation of Lamborghini forced BMW to take control of the project after 7 prototypes were built, and from 1978 to 1981 to produce 453 medium-door supercars with the design of the authorship of Maestro Georgetto Judjaro. The BMW M1 car was equipped with a 3.5-liter 6-cylinder engine developed from 277 hp. In the civil version of up to 850 in the racing, which later put on the subsequent M-models of BMW M535i, M635CSI and, finally, on the first M5 in 1985.
BMW M535I.
BMW Motorsport designed a 6.1-liter 12-cylinder engine S70 / 2 for the famous supercar McLaren F1, the triumphantly completed the 24-hour Le Mans racing in 1995. The motor was a modified S70 from the BMW 850CSI, over which the Cudsshers from BMW M GmbH also were thrown. The 550-strong version of this engine was introduced into the BMW M8, in order to create a serious competitor to Ferrari models, but due to the economic inappropriateness of M8 and remained only in the form of a prototype.
Until 2010, BMW M engines on fundamental considerations were not equipped with a turbocharged or compressor, there was also no full-f-versions of representative and off-road BMW series. Everything changed with the appearance of the engine S63 on the BMW X5 M, which became the first M-car with turbocharging.
To date, the rule M includes such M-models as M3 F80, M4 F82, M5 F10, M6 (F13 / F12 - compartment and convertible, F06 - Gran Coupe), X5 M F15 and X6 M F16, and in the near Time is expected to replenish in the form of 1 m and 2 m, which came to shift 1 series M Coupé with an E82 index. In addition, the changed philosophy of BMW M allowed to implement the M-Performance line, which implies a smaller number of changes in the source car. How to distinguish full "Emki" from BMW with M-styling will be told in the next article ...
The history of the German brand began on the northern outskirts of Munich in 1916 with a small aircraft carrier plant. Karl Rappa and Gusts Otto created an enterprise called Bayerische Motoren Werke, which means "Bavarian motor plants". The basis of the BMW emblem creators took a stylized aircraft screw against the blue sky. According to another interpretation, the logo icon was selected due to white and blue colors of the Bavarian flag. Then no one has yet assumed that a small airline will turn into the giant car market.
Great demand for aircraft engines BMW was summoned by the First World War, but her results almost took a young company: a ban on the manufacture of motors for German aviation was registered in the concluded Versailles agreement - at that time of the sole production of the Munich firm. Then it was decided to produce motorcycle engines. The first BMW R32 motorcycle was designed by a young engineer Max Fritz literally for five weeks.
But the production of aircraft workers in a short time resumed, the BMW position lost in this market was rapidly returned. The lifting of the Bavarian company contributed to the fact that Germany concluded a secret agreement with the USSR on the supply of the latest aircraft engines. Soviet aircraft of the 1930s, equipped with BMW engines, made a lot of record flights.
At that time, Europe experienced economic difficulties, and the first small BMW Dixi 929 car has gained great popularity. Seven years later, the Bavarian firm presented his famous sports coupe of the BMW 328, which became the winner of many racing competitions. However, the basis of the business was still the production of aircraft engines.
During World War II, a lot of German automotive enterprises were destroyed, including the Munich Plant of BMW, for the restoration of the industrial base of which were required years. The low-cost state of the Bavarian company hardly ended with the decision about its sale a long-time competitor of Mercedes-Benz, but thanks to the new strategy chosen by the owner, BMW managed to preserve its independence. The company's policy of post-war years has been in the production of low-fiber motorcycles and large comfortable sedans. Such models of the 60s, as the BMW 700 and 1500 won universal recognition and gave hope for the revival of the brand. It was then that a completely new class of compact sports and tourist cars appeared. At the same years, an unusual three-wheeled BMW IZETTA was produced - something average between the motorcycle and the machine. For the first time they saw the light and cars of the famous series - the third, fifth, sixth and seventh.
The swift development of the Bavarian automaker accompanied the global economic boom of the 80s. Making focus on excellent running quality and maximum comfort for the driver, the company increased its sales at times and significantly fastened American and Japanese competitors. At various points of the globe opened trade and production units BMW.
In the 90s, the growing German company included such brands like Rover and Rolls-Royce, which made it possible to replenish its model range of SUVs and a supermalled car.
Over the past thirty years, the profit of the automaker increases annually. It turns out not once on the verge of collapse, the Empire BMW rose and again achieved success. Now the German brand occupies a solid position of the legislator of the automotive fashion. BMW brand - synonymous high standards in quality, comfort and safety.
It is considered one of the most beautiful models for the stamp story. The sports roadster submitted to the public in 1955 was conceived as a competitor Mercedes-Benz 300sl and was aimed at North America. The desire to make the best car of his time put BMW on the edge of bankruptcy.
The double body was made of light aluminum alloy, the V-shaped "eight" was placed under the hood, which allowed owners to develop a speed of 220 km / h. A little later, the car got efficient disk brakes, but for customers it did not make a proper impression.
The high cost scared even wealthy customers. Despite the fact that the owners of the premium BMW were the stars of the first magnitude (for example, Elvis had two 507 in the garage), for their short century, this model, like many geniuses, was not honored with the Glory of Life. But after a while was recognized as a classic. Today it is a real rarity for which visitors of the auctions lay out millions of dollars.
BMW M1.
Another ladding prey collectors. The model sold from 1978 to 1981. In BMW, we decided to release the middle-door supercar (model with a mid-door layout) together with Lamborghini. But the cooperation was not palpted, and embodied the idea only in BMW.
The design of the prototype is designed by the legendary marriage field. As a result, he had a powerful influence on the DNA of the brand. It was then that first appeared layout of the instrument panel, deployed toward the driver and became the BMW business card.
M1 was a breakthrough not only in design, but also in terms of engineering. The modest four-cylinder motor was equipped with a rare at the time of turbocharged, which allowed out of two liters to squeeze more than 270 hp. For M1, even made a separate racing series, in which the stars "Formulas" nicknames of Lauda and Nelson Peak performed. Unlike the road versions, M1 for the track was forced to an incredible 850 hp
BMW Nazca.
Generation 1976-1982 should remember the insert from the Chewing gum Turbo with the appropriate image, in addition, this model is familiar to us on the game Need for Speed. However, in reality, the concept of Kara from Maestro Gurdjaro was destined to remain the exhibition exhibit. Nazca, first shown in the Tokyo Motor Show 1992, was too bold, too complicated and too expensive to come into a series.
In the car for the first time, energy absorbing bumpers, guaranteed collisions with obstacles without any financial consequences for the owner. A total of several unique cars were produced, one of whom was meant a member of the Arabian family. By the way, recently Nazca lit up on a car auction, so if you have an extra million dollars, there is still a chance to put this car in your garage.
BMW M5.
The first generation of the car saw the light in 1984. Since then, he, like Batman, in each new series becomes cooler and cooler. But we will remember the generation of E34 of the 90s - the last M-ku, the warmth of the manual assembly. The production of subsequent generations has become automated. The king of the autobahn in a civic sedan costume, besides, for the first time in the model range of BMW Motorsport with the body of a wagon. Depending on the modification, the M5 motor power ranged from 311 to 335 hp, while a rich list of additional equipment and the possibility of a comfortable ride with his family made a model of a universal machine, on which you can go to school to school and leave the track.
BMW 850.
Coupe of the Gran Turismo class, produced from 1989 to 1999 worth about 100 thousand dollars. The car competed in Europe and overseas with Mercedes-Benz SL and Ferrari 348. The most powerful version of 850 CSI developed 350 hp (By the way, it was this V12 that was put on a unique McLaren F1), equipped with advanced electronic systems of assistance and adaptive suspension. Today in the model range, the role of the GT class complies the 6th BMW series, and the "eight" asslaved in the hands of grateful fans.
BMW Z8.
Henrik Fisker and Chris Bangle were put to creating a car, subsequently asked the direction to a good ten years. The ideological successor of the famous 507th on the car dealership in 1997 was adopted by the public is welcome. As a result, BMW decided to make a limited series of cars at a price of 170 thousand dollars each on the basis of the show-stopper. Z8 easily gained a limited electronics speed 250 km / h, but was created not for drag racing. A much more organic car looked on the sea coast or in the garage of East Sheikh. A logical stroke, emphasizing the special status of the BMW Z8, was the role of Bondmobil in the film "And the whole world of little".
BMW X5.
If we assume that the reference Range Rover (which during the creation of X5 belonged to the Bavarians) gave the window to the segment of the luxury SUVs, then the X5 is the window of the window and put the modern double-glazed glass into it. Focusing on the main value of the German brand - the pleasure of driving, X5 first became famous after installing a record on the Nürburgring Racing Highway, where the tests dispersed the prototype to more than 300 km / h.
But in Russia "Boomer" firmly entrenched in the consciousness of the masses, associated with the film of the same name. Fortunately, with the X5 updates, Slowly loses the halo of the business card of the head of the organized criminal group. Today in the authorities, judging by the scandalous news about the citizen of graduates of the FSB Academy, another German brand, a close competitor BMW. Well, on health!
BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage
Despite the fact that this is not a serial model, we included it in the top ten of the most beautiful BMW. The successor of the glorious sporting kind, originating from the coupe 3.0 CS of 1968, at one time that was competing Porsche 911.
The concept, presented last year at the "Elegance Competition" at the villa d "Este in Italy, pleases the eye with an aggressive design and caresses the rumor a row of a row 6-cylinder engine.
BMW is a brand that occupies a leading position in the premium vehicle segment. The German company has won the confidence of customers around the world due to the fact that he is constantly striving for the perfection of their cars. They are stylish, dynamic, equipped with a high power engine. Each BMW model combines reliability, maneuverability and stability in control due to a carefully thought-out steering system.
