Test Drive BMW X5M 50D since 2012 SUV
BMW X5 M and X6 M Racing Crossovers
What is the BMW series x in sports performance m? In a nutshell and do not say. But if you are visiting the owner's career with a chandelier and vacuum cleaner ... Only the BMW test drive gives you to know the true German Spirit.
Everything else is only a chatter about German cars. Detail disassemble MERSEDES, we will find a very good car without any nationality. His comfort and prestige have international status. Carefully looking at Audi, we will find a very correct car and again fly past sausages with beer. Only Bavarian machine builders fill their cars with proprietary traits of German character.
Accuracy, aggression, vice, knuckle with sour cabbage all this in excess in racing x5 and x6 prepared by M-Technic, the factory tuning bmw branch. They stand for one and a half million rubles more ordinary. In the acceleration to one hundred won in x5 1.8 seconds, and X6 0.7.
In fact, overclocking in x5 m and x6 m is absolutely the same 4.7 seconds to hundreds
With a glazed look
Modern German peace-loving and political assertion. But it is difficult to argue with genes. That is why x5 m and x6 m least remind cars. The designers of the X-sixth in the soul dreamed of an attack aircraft, and the X-fifth easily convert to patrol and intelligence transport, simply attached the machine gun. Everything that I talked about the German spirit of BMW should be considered through this subconsciously military prism.
Accuracy? Yes, the Bavarian all-wheel drivers have a clear control, but here are inappropriate civil parallels for example, some kind of comparison of the car with shark ... Driving x5 m and x6 m It is how to drive a ship to the goal or close a submarine hatch: all the mechanisms are very accurate, but It hurts hard. Only sailors in old films about the war are cope with them. I'm afraid they have long stuffed your hand.
Aggression? German SUVs are pouring it under the urban. But it is designed for a short and victorious attack of Blitz-Crag. Use overclocking 4.7 seconds to hundreds can only be in the right place at the right time. Most often to destroy Mercedes-Benz ML, which is up to one hundred 5 seconds.
Vice? It sings out of all the gaps of the German SUV. Pouring on x5-x6 m in a calm stream of cars, you feel like a soldier in dismissal. Such a guy thinks not about the protection of the fatherland. He has a glazed glance, and he opens the door of a brothel by savvy boot.
Tachometer Detail is akin to a tie, but not in Emoka, here he is like a clock
Points do not help
It is almost impossible to deduct from emotions, speaking of the BMW Series M. and still let's try on a short time.
So, BMW crossovers prepared by the M-Technic separation are equipped with a V8 engine of 4.4 liters, which develops the maximum power of 555 horsepower. The maximum torque in 680 nm is available in the wide range of 15005650 rpm. M-Technic relies on turbocharging. The new M TwinPower Turbo is the world's first engine with a common exhaust manifold technology, each of the four pipes of which serves two cylinders. Thus, a constant, free from any countercurrent pressure on both turbocharger turbocharger TWIN SCROLL has been created.
In Lexus, the speed is larger on the road, and the BMW focuses on revolutions and transmission
What is unhealthy conservatism? Save giant ducts, but deprive the driver of the genetically fixed gearbox algorithm

The spare wheel in the basic package is not included. For him, you need to pay 3,500 rubles.
Of course, Emok has tighter suspension and steering settings. There is a function of automatic control of the overclocking of Launch Control, with which they won DRAG. And a bunch of electronics so that the body does not stick and the box did not go to an increased step ahead of time.
Case in the wealth?
What is not here, so it is off-road abilities. They diligently destroyed. BMW X5 M and BMW x6 m are equipped with gowns in the front sidewalls and 20-inch alloy discs. Using tires of different sizes 275/40 R 20 in front and 315/35 R 20 Rear Another result of the rear-wheel drive car setting.
Both models are accented with those elements of the body that perform the functions of improving aerodynamics and cooling. M-Style is also an injected body position at 10 mm compared with the usual X5 and X6. It is necessary to say that geometric patency with all these improvements is insufficient even to overcome curbstone.
The All-wheel drive BMW Series M is sometimes attributed to neutral, sometimes rear-wheel drive control. We were convinced that both versions are true. X6 M behaves very correctly. You refuel it in turn, and it is evenly licked asphalt by all four wheels, comes out of it, turning around the imaginary central axis. X5 m does not leave doubt that the rear axle is more susceptible to displacement. However, on both cars, an absolutely identical type of full drive, identical settings for electronic assistants, similar to the active differential on the back bridge and, of course, the same tires. So perhaps the case is in the ravine. If you are accustomed to SUV chairs, then you will not test the shock, recreated at X5 M. But to the exemplary behavior of X6 M, the owners of traditional SUVs will have to get used to a little.
On a hundred more
The BMW of the X series did not begin to produce M. in the sports performance of M. But the Competitors from AMG for years are made by ML63. At the same time, sports ML is not finally lost for off-road. In addition, it is atmospheric, and this is also worth a lot. The only thing to boast the BMW line M crossover lines, winning at 0.3 seconds in acceleration to a hundred kilometers. Is it worth writing on the dynamics? On the test, we were much more addicted to the character of braking than the increased residence. Brakes work fantastic. When you click the left pedal, the events around are unfolded approximately as at a speed of 50 km / h, although you really go on a hundred more.
There will always be people who are ready to pay a couple of extra kilograms of money for the magical 0.3 seconds of winning AMG. Maybe they are not so mad. But I am sure that each of these perfectionists in the living room has a chandelier made from coastal protection projectors. The kitchen is a washing machine with a turbine from the aircraft. And in the corridor a vacuum cleaner, sucking neighbors along with their metal doors. In this row, the BMW X5 M and X6 M looks very
harmonious.
