Champions games

Andrey Tikhonov and Fifth X
The noise of hot ovations subsides, the intensity of passions subsides and unusual silence cuts the hearing. The performance is over. Most likely, the champion, left alone with the football field at the naked stands of the amphitheater, feels the same as the actor on the stage in the empty hall. But this time there are two of them in a deserted bowl of the stadium: Andrey Tikhonov and BMW X5. Show must go on ...
Andrey Tikhonov
six -time champion of Russia. Twice holder of the Cup of the country. In 1996, he was recognized as the best football player in Russia. Five times Tikhonov was part of the 33 best football players in the country. In the Champions League I spent 36 matches, scored 12 goals, in the UEFA Cup 15 games, 6 goals. The winner of the Champions Cup of the Commonwealth 19931995, 1999, 2000.
Once in ancient Greece, the stadium was called the place where the runners competed. After a while, the stiff Englishmen infected the world with an outlandish game of the ball, and since then, in many thousands of arenas, the sick game people indulge in battal passions His Majesty Football has turned millions of people into fans. Multiple champion Andrei Tikhonov with His Majesty on you. He has not been born the old truth, he has learned champions from childhood, inhaling the hot air of large and small football Colizes. With an Arena, the famous captain has developed their own special relations, and only worthy characters may accompany him outside the saints of the Holy of Holy.
 
Recently, Andrei Tikhonov appeared on the football field of an empty stadium in an unusual company. As a rule, rivals are found in any arena, but in our case the peaceful tandem of the two champions was obvious: communicating with the new BMW X5 on the Garry Cars, Andrei confirmed the well -known assumption: the car is not only luxury and not so much a means of transportation. Most often, the metaphysics of relations with the car do not require a diagnosis of a psychoanalyst or a psychotherapist. Perhaps because neither that nor the other is able to put it objectively, they themselves move behind the wheel, know a lot about the movement and are quite capable of envying champions.
If the status of the master and captain Andrei Tikhonov in the world of football is obvious, then the leadership of X5 in deaf Moscow traffic jams is little known because of his comparative youth, although the familiar silhouettes of the Big BMW deserve on the roads, if not fear, then respect. Despite the fact that the heir to the Big Bavarz outwardly pushed a little, the branded grin is still recognizable, and the athletic forms of the body stretched by 20 centimeters are convinced not to joke: in the surroundings of the X5 stadium, he will fully go beyond the powerful gladiator. If this is an opponent, then very worthy, if a friend, then very true, jokes Tikhonov after a close acquaintance with x5.
 
Andrey’s communication with the gladiator confirmed: the champions have championships. He did not have to convince himself of respect for a recognized brand: everything is already clear here: according to the branded style, dynamic habits, the quality of execution and the impeccable comfort of X5, the champion is undoubtedly. Firstly, there is a very convenient landing. After zealous manipulations with a chair, I have grown into it with my whole body. My anatomy was guessed one hundred percent. Secondly, the Germans brought ergonomics almost to perfection, only it was necessary to get used to the joystick of the automatic gearbox, just like a simple mechanic with fixed positions for me would be more intelligible and understandable to the touch switch. What can we say about the dynamics of Bavarz with extreme slalla x5 with a volume of 4.8 liters and 355 liters. With. It stands in full. BMW as usual charges remarkable excitement. In my opinion, the handling of a car is unlikely to leave indifferent even an advanced motorist. An active steering wheel with an impeccably sensitive reaction and an amazing absence for the giant on marginal turns deserves respect. In a word, a sports car and only, despite the giant sizes. It was felt how Andrei was gradually leaving the last drops of adrenaline, but with a crafty gleam in his eyes he again sat behind the BMW and once again cut circles on the garnish path of his native stadium. Show must go on ...
The fact that X5 is not an investment, and not even SUV, but a purely Bavarian invention under the cunning name Sav (Sport Activity Vehicle) is obvious. The wizards from Munich worked pretty much on the previous version of X5 in order to deserve a separate category. Given the statistics, which suggests that about 90% of today's SUVs are only familiar with asphalt, and the natural habitat for them remains the terra incognita, BMW created a new class of large cars, which allows you to light in sporting, despite volumetric dimensions. Following the usual conditions of the metropolis, the tank-SAV and unexpected mud will cope without problems and will ask all the heat on the asphalt. The torque between the axes is distributed using the XDRive all -wheel drive system, and if necessary, the DSC dynamic control is turned on, which involves brake mechanisms. In addition to the top version of the new BMW X5 with a 4.8 liter V8, which Tikhonov tested, Bavarians offer another three-liter engines to choose from: 272-horsepower gasoline and a 231-liter diesel diesel engine. With.
Tikhonov’s temperament ideally approached the conditions of the game of Bavarian manufacturers. Cutting circles on the garnish path on the X5, in a weekly test of the large BMW, Andrei put a fatty plot rather than a point. Friendship of the Champions is unlikely to be destined to develop into a duel, especially since next year Bavarians guarantee surprise the world with updated X5 with a new, more powerful engine.
This time, a large BMW lit in the sports arena
