Test drive BMW 3 E90 2005 - 2008 sedan

The weight of the blade

Three -liter turbodiesel phenomenal unit. In -line six Twin Turbo in an aluminum block. It sounds like a gasoline, rides like a gasoline.
But does not consume a drop of gasoline
Sharp cheekbones, a difficult look, stomach in oneself. Proportions, relief and spirit of a warrior. Fencer. Not a boxer. The hierarchy of this legion with model 318i begins: a base three -liner with a two -liter gasoline engine of 129 liters. p., the only one of all who can be sent to intelligence under the psychological bar with a million rubles.
 
If you and BMW come to each other, here you will succeed at once. In an ergonomically flawless chair, clamped between the panels of a driver’s knitting, you grow to the door at the time of cotton. Legs on the pedals, hands on the steering wheel. If the right releases the rim, then it will certainly be on the lever of the checkpoint.
The base motor is not many, but it is present and accelerates the car not only quickly enough so that all life does not go forward, but with excitement. Even shy. Responses on the pedal are not scrap, but instant, but character and charisma will not allow you to raise a platoon, but quite sufficient to charm the beauty, left alone with it. Exemplary and spacious places on the gallery are already a stronger advantage: when the hall is full, the strength of the 318th is no longer enough.
 
The perfection of the incomparable drive of six -speed mechanics and a verified pedal block gives the right to say: the mechanic in the case of 318i is an excellent choice and a good opportunity to save a couple of thousand euros. The chassis is able to surprise the adopted man who is accustomed to modern BMW: both to compress and hush the suspension work in much larger limits than they should have expected even in the most daring dreams. The exact controllability of the machine on a soft long -flowing and energy -intensive suspension is a good tradition and the faithful BMW horse, which walked for several years aside, but again was under the saddle (Russians) for joy.
 
330 XD will turn your idea of \u200b\u200bthe possibilities of heavy fuel, unless this has happened. According to the specific return, power and emotional saturation of acceleration, this motor is at the level of the best (!) From high -breed gasoline engines. 231 l. With. And six and a half seconds to hundreds at a flow rate of 7.5 liters of diesel fuel in the mixed cycle, which you rarely see in relation to the same car.
 
X-Drive system of the connected drive on the wheels of the front axle. It works excellently in tandem with the DSC dynamic stabilization system. If you turn off the system, then the behavior of the machine on the asphalt will become very difficult and nervous, which can not be said about slippery surfaces: in winter you can enjoy the predictable and reliable behavior of a sliding all -wheel drive with a classic distribution of the moment. Pure buzz.
 
By the way, about winter and Russian roads: the letter D adds 50 kg, and the variable X is another 100 kg. All this falls on the front axle. The Germans plant powerful tremors low under the flights of autobahns for two hundred. The work passes of suspensions are reduced. This drags two circumstances. The first rigidity. 330 XD is a very hard car: tougher than the vast majority of road cars in general. However, working moves are so small that even high rigidity does not provide any acceptable energy intensity for Russia. Private and regular waves and joints of the asphalt, not to mention the bedridden police, lead to tough ramms of 330 XD.
 
The BMW treshka is very good in the database and confidently leads its part through all the price ranges. In any financial layer, you can find successful configurations of this machine, but when choosing top versions, it makes sense to ride on different roads on a test drive.
 
BMW 318i, despite its nameplate, has a two -liter four.
The BMW 320i is no more heavier, but from the same two liters it offers 156 liters. With. and 200 nm torque. The difference in price with the 318th is more than 100 thousand rubles: one horse goes one hundred euros.
BMW 320 D 177 l. p., $ 42 thousand and the opportunity to save every day.
The BMW 325i can be equipped with an all-wheel drive X-Drive with a d3000 supplement to the D34900 base for a classic gasoline car with a capacity of 218 liters. With.
Maximum BMW 335i line. 306 l. With. for $ 68 thousand
We just wait for the new M3. To begin with, the car with the V8 will be in the back of the compartment.
 
   
   

Sprinkles, hollows, sherbate roads. All this is for the 318th only fun. 330 XD in such conditions asks for mercy, folding a short -flowing suspension for limiters
Treshka looks heavier in modest modifications than in powerful ones. Alas, this impression is deceptive
You only need to know what is really necessary. The standard steering wheel is more convenient than a chubby bagel from a M-package. This is not a banal driver's place in any way. Ergonomics is impeccable, there is no extra space
Six -speed mechanics are magnificent. This is not only saving funds, but also a special pleasure for those who understand
The wheels is that it primarily gives out modest versions of BMW. However, they can also
Rear places are very convenient mainly due to the stock of space
The necessary information is presented quite conveniently to read it with peripheral vision
To be or not to be the possibility of transforming the BMW salon? It depends on the configuration
