But when the cold calculation gives way to emotions, the game of one gate no longer seems obvious. Both cars are positioned by creators not just as vehicles. BMW, in addition to the driver’s ambitions, personifies the achievement of engineering thought, not constrained by pricing. These are not just cars, but a high -tech product, whose list of electronic tricks will take half a page. And in the filling of the Japanese, nodes and assemblies were used, brought to perfection on the religious Subaru Impreza.
And finally, the engines are both with a 2.5 -liter working volume, with variable phases of gas distribution, with a capacity of 192 and 210 liters. with. respectively. The classic in -line six favorite of many Bavarian cars will, in our whim, will resist the four -cylinder opponent with a turbocharged in the new version of 2.5 liters traditional for Subaru.
FOR UNDERSTANDING

It was possible not to try on the perfect configuration of the seats, excellent ranges of their movements, adjusting the grip steering wheel in height and length, and the rest of the paraphernalia. It is strange even to imagine that something is wrong or worse than that of competitors.
True, the legs of a colleague sitting on the right are hindered by a stylish rounded ledge between the floor and the console (I wonder how it looks on the right -hand drive version?). And the absence of a separate climate installation causes his indignation at all: how is it, for this money? ...

A short pause, then a confident jerk and we rush to new impressions. If it weren’t for the 2.5i nameplate, I probably never guessed what the engine was hidden under a mighty hood. The tandem of the motorcosa almost instantly inspires faith in excellent dynamic qualities. And at the next refueling to the traditional question: how? Without a shadow of doubt, I raise a big finger great. True, the tests at the training ground adjust the assessment: the car is certainly fast, but after 160170 km/h, the aerodynamics and the celebration of the motor are noticeably weakened.

The feeling of a car or, if you want, his mutual understanding with the driver was bribed in all Bavarian cars. Alas, in our communication with X3, some detachment was present almost constantly. He is certainly reliable, stable and even impeccable in most situations.

So we cannot talk in any way. That suddenly x3 responds with interest to my provocative actions. So I disconnected the DSC dynamic stabilization system, and we smoothly spun in the complex dance of lateral slipping. And BMW became clear and open. But as soon as he turned on the electronics again, he again began to arrog the arrogantly in my actions, somewhere in the case, but sometimes frankly frightening. For example, on a winding serpentine, DSC reacts very sensitively to the skid of the rear axle, actively struggling with it. However, it was worth the front wheels to get on the ice, as, having lost control, we immediately rushed to the restrictive bar. Accustomed to the help of electronics, I was waiting for a few moments: now the car will help out to a safe trajectory. No matter how! It’s good that he intervened in time.

You see, this is me to him, and your seat pillow is shorter, and the steering wheel (albeit momo) is tougher and thinner. And the clutch? A fragile lady hardly squeezes the pedal half. But the Japanese, as if guessing about my preferences, cunningly winks through the greenish scales of devices: they say, probably, it is. But you are a tag of the engine, try what I am capable of, although you can write in advance in the protocol, that it is noisier than the backwowed, and vibration is tangible.

Hard pendants emphasize the sporty nature of this version. Quick responses to the actions of the steering wheel more resemble a charged Impreza. Well, most importantly no electronics. I went over at the speed at the entrance to the turn the car slipped smoothly, making it clear: not hot. I did everything correctly you can enjoy the manageability of a full -wheel drive brought to the perfection. Of course, he does not forgive the panobracy, because there are a lot of horsepower, but finding a common language with him is quite easy. I stop to take a breath, and he seems to chuckle: well, will you run to master the X-Drive or still ride?
