Test drive BMW M3 E92 compartment since 2007 compartment
MMM
The presentation of the new BMW M3 began completely unexpectedly. Before the journalists had time to get a job in chairs, get pens and voice recorders and prepare for lengthy speeches, they were immediately invited to get behind the wheel. Welcome to green hell, friends, as Jackie Stewart liked to say, - Mephistopheles notes rang in the representative of the company's voice. - Fasten the belts- and to the start. The length of the northern loop of Nurburgring is only 20.8 kilometers. We will pass them quickly. Very fast. But during the trip, we can, however, fully find out what kind of car this is the new BMW M3 Coupe. Green flag and road to green hell is open. The engine roar of the motor for a moment is blocked by almost Nikolai-Ozer's commentary in the headphones, but the lakes, breaking into a cry, does not give up and shoots briefly and capaciously: the first civilian version of the three-cylinder engine ... new, high-cost ... 105 horsepower per liter ... 15 kilograms are easier than the six -cylinder engine of the previous car ... Made at the same factory as the engines for the BMW Sauber F1 ...
The playful thought flashes that I am almost an equal Hayidfeld, Fomenko and other celestials. Ambitions grow like yeast. I am a pilot, here is a car. On the M3, these fantasies are all the more excusable, because, sitting at the wheel, you will see only a hill on the hood, very similar to the nasal fairing of a formula machine. I have not seen anything like this in my life. M3 differs from the usual treshka by 80 percent ... this one of this protrusion with the nostrils is enough to catch the difference. The inner voice, carrying nonsense at the most inappropriate moments, interrupts useful information and gives an old cracked joke from somewhere in the depths of the subconscious: how much do you run for a hundred meters? - Bucks for a hundred run. BMW M3 runs 1000 meters from a low start in 23.3 seconds. It would be nice to check this by stopwatch, but we are just passing the southern hairpin - Sudkehre. What is usually called good lateral support of the seats, in the M3 is brought to the absolute of a sadistic machine to give the waist of aspen perfection. In vain, I still pressed the button so much to the left of the chair. In this grip, breathing stops at a bend and consciousness fades.
They just exhaled, and here the northern one - Nordkehre - is pricking. Light design ... 3.8 kilograms per horsepower. M3 is unique in its segment: only it has a carbon -focus roof ... That's why the car does not drive - it flies. It's time: we just jump out on Flugplatz (airfield). In the fourth gear, a car with 80 km/h accelerates to 120 km/h in 4.9 seconds. This is according to the passport. It feels like - it can accelerate during this time to the maximum speed. True, in order to get around the hesitating opponent to Aremberg, we need to sharply add and switch to low. The arrow of the tachometer swayed to the red zone (it changes in Emoc depending on the heating of the engine), closer to the maximum 8400 rpm.
The story of the Third Emka began in 1986. The first BMW M3 was created on the basis of the BMW E30, which was first released with a circulation of 5,000 models, and then all 18 thousand. The second -generation BMW M3 (the E36 lineup) was sold in the amount of 72 thousand, the third generation (lineup E46) brought this figure to 85,000 cars. The title of the fastest and most expensive of all BMW M3 belongs to the BMW M3 GTR, built to participate in the American series Lemans (Alms). The car struck not only with its aggressive appearance, but also a powerful power unit V8 with a volume of 4 liters, with a capacity of 330 kW/460 liters. With. in the racing version and 258 kW/350 liters. With. In the modification, which received admission to operating on public roads. Aremberg factory - the traditional place of brake check. We press on the floor, the pads are squeezed perforated discs, the front with a diameter of 360 millimeters, the rear 250 millimeters .... Later on the pitleyn, they, cooling, will attract attention with voiced clicking for a long time. Where are the people with roulette? Let them check: from 100 km/h to the full foot should be no more than 34 meters of the brake track.
Before descent to Fuchsrohre's fox, the commentator manages to praise the new treshka motor again, the speed of which is faster than any other BMW engine. And another nod towards F1. BMW crammed the new three -year -old three -to -do, which does not do any other manufacturer. Mom in M3 manages to give out 200 million operations per second. The magic of numbers dug the mind. And here is just the most complicated ligament: Metzgesfeld - Kallenhardt - Wehrseifen. It seems that in these wonderful words there is something about fields, brooks and a valley. It is a pity that we have spoiled this German pastoral a little, lifting the wonderful tires for the BMW M3 Michelin Pilot Sport. Take a note when it will buy a spare kit: the rear tires should be wider the front. In the original - 265/40 and 245/40, respectively. The diameter is 18 inches. In the Bergwerk mine, ”our talker chokes,“ grains are separated from the chaff. ” I could add that hair - from the head, flesh - from bones and soul - from the body. In the mine, by the way, once almost gave his soul to Nicky Laud, crashing into a chipper 200 km/h. Erudition is an enemy of ambition. I would like to immediately press the magic Mdrive button, climb into the menu and change all the stiffness settings of the EDC shock absorbers, the engine and steering wheel settings in a normal or comfortable state. And then, of course, go slower. Much quieter.
Karussell Carousel, who managed, then crouched. At the Nyurging Carousel, manufacturers usually check the hardness of the body for twisting and operation of the suspension. Between the M3 suspension and the usual treshka in common - only one detail ... Sorry, the headphone fell at the moment when the commentator explained what kind of detail it was. Some kind of trifle like a lever. The suspension itself is just a monolith. And how I like the Baemwash steering wheel with these influxes without ten twelve, lying in their hands by themselves. That's certainly the function determines the form. From the carousel to Wippermann swing, then everyone in the Pflanzgarten garden, where cars jump and then beat on the track with force (the option of the game of automakers to stay alive), then swing Schwalbenschwanz swallow tail and break out into the dottinger heights to finally verify perfect aerodynamics and a course the stability of the machine.
Finish.
I congratulate you on the end of a virtual test drive, ”said a voice in the headphones. The screen went out. There was light in the hall. Journalists again took out the laid handles and notebooks. They had to convey their impressions of the amazing BMW M3 car to readers.
P. S. If you think that all the above advantages of the M3 are also virtual, then this is in vain. After all, the day after the virtual test drive for Nurburgring, the same journalists, including your humble servant, absolutely really experienced M3 on the ASCARI racing highway.
