Test Drive BMW X5 E70 since 2010 SUV

Generation X.

It is difficult to imagine Mr. X from the glorious operetta squid to suddenly call Mr. He. It would be equivalent to immediately release the hero on the circus arena without a mask. But no less charismatic and no less foreign BMW X5 car in Russia is increasingly and all the familiar cards through affectionate he or who written, ha. According to the chief editor of the autopilot Nikolai Fomenko, this is completely no coincidence and means the consistent division of a glorious Bavarian car, which with the advent of the new version has become even more affordable and closer to the ordinary Russian motorist.
Pop in place. I confess to honestly: the appearance of the new BMW X5 in Moscow did not become an emotional shock for me, shock that wrapped in whiskey. I did not stop eat, drink, sleep and look at other cars.
 
I do not mind that the new BMW X5 is the icon of your era. Only I iconized this car long before the mass shares of love. And gave her tribute to madness and a few years of his life. And one about the old BMW X5 folded a lot. As for the new X5, I experienced my share of the attachment for another three years ago in Dubai, when the second generation of Hay fifth was told to mind, hiding under Paranjoy from random views. But I, and in acquaintance, and in the neighborhood, and according to professional solidarity (we tested our sports cars, Munich guys tested their own) Opened Lichiko, and the ass of this gulchitai.
 
So, first of all about the pope. I drew attention to her immediately. Already then in Dubai, when with the form of this part of the car, apparently, has not yet been complete certainty, a trend was noticeable. The ass want to presate. Not in the sense of removing unnecessary, namely remove it down. The purpose is obvious - get rid of jumping. This is not from the field of physiology. This is pure physics. The old ha five with almost the perfect dynamics, there was a famous stack, which had always had to catch. It was added adrenaline and sports - even one can say, a real racing - the taste to the process.
 
The taste has not disappeared. But the dynamics of the car - precisely at the expense of priests - became another. The car became closer to the ground. By the way, I was deceived in my feelings of the new X5 dimensions. I did not take into account that now the pleasure of the trip can be multiplied by five, but by seven. By number of people in the cabin. Because a visual car has become less, as if it is a special model for leaving a niche between X5 and X3. Although in fact she added, and added everywhere: both in height, and in length, and in width. But all sports sticks remained at the best. The car goes and is controlled very, very, very good. Just exclusively. It refills in turn even on ordinary rubber. SERVOTRONIC HYDROSLIDER INDIGES MINASTER GENERANCE Very neatly and efficiently. When breaking the car in the roll on the steering wheel, barely noticeable short pulses appear, aimed at the opposite side of the side. It turns out right as in the driving school. The instructor, holding the steering wheel, corrects the student's mistakes. I would not order this option, but would recommend the majority certainly.
BMW X5 became the first on the results of the 2007 SUV competition, winning the title of the best in the category the full-sized crossover and bypassing 27 competitors. In its segment, the BMW X5 remains the best for eight years. For all the time produced by model in the world, 616,867 cars sold, of which 4189 in Russia. To the launch of the BMW X5 in the Russian market, the company timed the project X5 TOP DRIVE Experience. The essence of it in the distribution of cars BMW X5 to a long test to representatives of business, art, culture. Total number of test drivers - 25 people, including long-standing boomers Actors Gosha Kutsenko, Konstantin Kryukov, Vladimir Vedovichekov, Alexey Chadov, musicians Andrei Makarevich, Garik Sukachev, Businessmen Alexander Gafin, Ruben Aganbegian and others.
 
Get on peace. Recommendations are not money. They can be handed out infinitely. X5 I am ready to recommend everyone. Whatever I was asked about this car, I will find only a positive in it. Car on the top five. There is nothing in it that could stop the buyer from buying. And I can not say anything to dissuade a person from a new x5.
 
Another thing - is I ready to ride on a new BMW X5? Answer - Personally, I am not ready. I moved from the BMW X5 to Audi Q7 - a car that X5 is not a competitor. This is another car. She made me change the style and manner of driving. She forced me to change the habit. That is, almost nature.
On Q7 you can participate in sports shows, bring to a fainted state of passengers, drive adrenaline on cholesterol plaques, as familiar says. You can do it, but you do not want it. Audi Q7 does everything that you relax. I am spoiled and ranked with this car. She prohibits me to enter the turn, smoking rubber and creaked with jaws. On the contrary, she covers you with a blanket, puts the pillow and says: do not worry you. Yes, we commemorate normally. Everything will be fine. Audi Q7 is quieter you go, less should.
 
BMW X5 is goodbye old age. This is a more maneuverable machine, more soak, with a choleric energy, which if now immediately does anything creative, will fit. Another analogy. You are riding. And under you - a bargaining horse. And you are not him, and he cares for you all the time: Well, what, maybe, ribbon, owner? It also seems to me that the BMW X5 is a very ironic machine. She is raised with respect to its owner, regarding man driving. She pinches him, provokes, turns out. Say, well, come on, show that you can, and whether you can something else. This car throws a challenge to the driver, and the driver either should be accepted, or go on peace. In Kia Sorento or VW Transporter.
Sales of the new X5 in Russia began in March of this year in the following modifications: BMW X5 3.0i (from 65,000 euros), BMW X5 3.0D (from 67,500 euros) and BMW X5 4.8i (from 83,000 euros). The new BMW X5 is 18% more powerful and at the same time by 14% more efficient than the previous generation. The new V8 engine develops the power of 261 kW / 355 hp New six-cylinder engine - 200 kW / 272 hp, and a new row six-cylinder diesel engine produces 173 kW / 235 hp All BMW X5 options are equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission in the standard version. As options, the latest achievements of the Bavarian technical genius are offered - the Active Steering system, changing the transfer of the steering mechanism and the angle of rotation of the steering wheel, depending on the speed of the movement, and the Adaptive Drive system, opposing the tipping of the car and the guaranteeing maximum maneuverability while maintaining the comfort of movement.
 
Solaris. The next car will be diesel. My wife has already moved to the diesel fuel, and I'm waiting for a convenient case. Diesel is all. I tested BMW diesel engines on the track of the MOST Czech Autodoma. And the result was very impressed. In speed on the circle, Diesel won the injector with tangible seconds. The diesel engine is more elastic. On x5, it is unchecked almost to 5,000 revolutions, it starts the maximum torque since 2000, and this moment, by the way, is 45 nm higher than that of 4.8 gasoline engine. I and the feeling was when I traveled to x5, which under the hood is a 4.8-liter engine, and with the IS marking - the injector of the sport. Already in the near future, solaris will win gasoline.
 
In the future, this is the answer to the question about the off-road qualities of the BMW X5, which, they say, became weaker - finally, the scholarship approach, so that the car was alone and for all occasions. To and in the country, and in the world, and in good people. How it is in our place. Heck for Emeli. The car, which and mushrooms goes off, and the fungi will bring full lukashko, and the fish will still be captured, under the water I swallowed, and then emerges, will call the phone and reports on the work done.
 
This is bullshit. We, Russian motorists, generally too many complaints. But the car does not start with minus 15, - we gloat. - Idiots, did not put a cold start sensor. Of course, did not put. Because this car did not do for our missing latitudes. Nobody expected that this stroket was brought from Saudi Arabia on a dry cargo ship, masking it under the sandbox, and will ride it in Nyagan. And insert the sensor - no problems. And all-terrain vehicles do - like two fingers. But you need all-terrain vehicles - sit down and forward, raise virgin. Need a city sports car - be kind, transplant. The world holds on a variety, and it is ravized by a sapper blade - this is a dead end.
Full Ordnung. I am too big to go into the little things, "says my buddy. About new ha five appropriate to say that this is a lot of little things, which make the car to others. By the way, when they are told that 1000 or 2000 changes are made to the car, I believe on the word. Although I did not see the hundredth of the share of innovations. Yes, the pen was another pen - there is more aesthethy, claims for High-tech, she has changed the algorithm of actions. Parking and at all began to turn on the top button on the lever itself. The IDRIVE system has earned so that there is enough of the seven classes of education.
 
There are still little things, but they are all evolutionary properties. A evolution in a visual plan is always worse than the revolution. I would ban all these facelifts and restyards once and forever. They are justified from a technical point of view, but for a good car - they carry death. Death Charism.
 
The case with the BMW X5 facelift (no no, I did not forget that this is a completely new car. She, by the way, notice along the way, became more spyware. The previous X5 was openly showed. And the new thing seems to be masked in the stream.) - Completely special . And I understood why. I understood when I saw the price of the BMW X5 3.0D. The price is less than 68,000. It is below the Waterlinia. Such cars at such a price are not even hot cakes. At such a price, I would have already hung on the door of the salon. Orders sign are not accepted. I explain such suspicious cheapness only by the desire of BMW to the uprising of the masses. Ha Fifth is intended to make a mass product. That is why the new X5 is so similar to the old one. It was created for people who had no money for the old X5, but who really wanted to buy it. Icon them in hand.

Autonews.RU: Bavarsa's view is permeable and irresistible, the angelic eyes still visually revitalize the car, and the rear view causes associations with the asphalt paver. But it is not necessary to worry, such similarity is not related to the updated forms of the rear lights, the lids of the trunk or the black bumper with a pair of exhaust pipes, simply otherwise as rinks to call the 20th radius wheel wheels with a rubber 315/35 simply impossible. The front rubber is slightly smaller, but it does not affect the beauty of the disc, as well as their main function - additionally strengthen the stability that the machine gives a new front suspension on dual transverse levers together with the last system of active body stabilization and adaptive steering. Maybe someone will seek these words incomprehensible, but about all these systems it is necessary to know only one thing - the car is uniquely held by the road.
Car newspaper Klakson: After the dinner, I caught the sleeve of a high-ranking representative of the developers and for a glass of fragrant Calvados asked him a question:
- Is it planned to equip x5 with a more powerful engine? For example, 12-cylinder - after all, competitors offer something similar.
-- What do you! - From resentment, the German almost spilled his digestif. - The car with such heavy motor is worse. It goes against the image of our model.
Well there is no way. Although, if buyers will again want something new, and it will fill profits ... everything can be. After all, it is no secret that it is precisely marketing experts today dictate their will engineers and designers. And they, in turn, have to solve the tasks. Sometimes - very successful.
Autorev: On the BMW X5 Mountain road behaves like a sports compartment: meager rolls, and the steering wheel is twice as fewer than on other cars of this class. But the main thing is that there is no sensation of synthetic ride: I feel a perfectly car and in a steep turn, and on the high-speed arc. Under one condition - if you do not bring the case to slides. Imitating an error, I am with a deliberate exceeding speed in turn and feel like X-fifth floats out, not warning about it with no rolls or a drop of effort on the steering wheel. Of course, a stabilization system is entered into business, returning the car to the desired trajectory, but for this fraction of a second I have already managed to hook the oncoming lane. And if you press the Sport button, which translates shock absorbers and stabilizers to the more hard mode of operation? Comfort was dubbed - the car began to nervously shuddering in small irregularities. But now he is more likely diving in turns, and the turning has become rather neutral than insufficient. It seemed?
- No, it did not seem, - dispelled the doubts Yos Van speech, a specialist from the chassis department, - in the standard mode settings, the AdaptiveDrive system really give the car with an easy insufficient turning, which makes it more stable on a straight line.
RBC Daily: With the audio and DVD-systems, the Germans in X5 have arranged at all, offering a selection of many options, including the video system with a DVD player for passengers of the second row of seats located in the glove box, CD and DVD-chan led by HIFI Professional system with 16 speakers, the sound of which is difficult to imagine the average car owner. But BMW X5 owners are unlikely to generally be called the average. Caring for their comfort Germans built in the rank of the royal nobles of the Middle Ages. This can be stated at least according to the BMW TeleServices system that appears, which, if necessary, refers to the technical status of the BMW service station. And parking now turned into a farce at all. Blonde to the tips of the hair with school education and donated on the 18th anniversary by a driver's license with the help of a rear view camera will furnish on a parallel parking of the talled ACA.
Vedomosti: Conclusion to the Russian market of an updated version of the car BMW X5 German autoconecern decided to start with a star test drive. Thirty people, whom in BMW consider the heroes of our time, received for a monthly test drive on a new sacrifice in the luxury configuration of more than 100,000 euros. Among them are fashionable actors Alexey Chadov, Vladimir Vdovichenkov and Konstantin Kryukov, Crysto's brothers from the Uma2man group, Andrei Makarevich, Igor Sukachev and designer Denis Simachev. Among the businessmen who agreed to participate in the action, they found themselves according to the press release of BMW, those who are difficult to even submit as promoters - the Executive Director of TNK-BP Hermann Khan, whose state of Forbes is assessed at $ 8 billion, and NOVATEKA Leonid Board Chairman Michelson ($ 4.3 billion) ... Large businessmen rarely participate in similar events, because they support the image of financially independent people, the President of the Agency's contact expert Grigory Pantov notes. Other participants, according to Vedomosti, will be able to receive material benefits: upon completion of the test drive, they will have the opportunity to buy a car with a discount. In return, they must tell about their impressions from the test drive of the media, to participate in the gala show for 700 representatives of the target audience ... and also to play in the BMW advertising film.
