BMW X5M test drive since 2009 SUV
Racing crossovers BMW X5 M and X6 m
What is the BMW series X in the sports design m? In a nutshell, you cannot say. But if you are visiting the owner more carefully with a chandelier and a vacuum cleaner ... Only the BMW test drive makes it possible to know the truly German spirit.
Everything else is only chatter about German cars. After analyzing Mersedes, we will find a very good car without any nationality. His comfort and prestige have international status. Having carefully looked at Audi, we will find a very correct car and fly by the sausages with beer again. Only Bavarian machine builders fill their cars with German branded features.
Accuracy, aggression, vice, shank with acidic cabbage of all this in abundance in racing X5 and X6, prepared by M-Technic, the BMW factory tuning department. They cost one and a half million rubles more than usual. In acceleration to a hundred, they win from x5 1.8 seconds, and X6 0.7.
In fact, acceleration of x5 m and x6 m is exactly the same 4.7 seconds to hundreds
With a glazed look
Modern German is peaceful and political correct. But it is difficult to argue with genes. That is why x5 m and x6 m are the least reminiscent of cars. The X-Steest designers in the soul dreamed of an attack aircraft, and X-fifth is easy to convert into patrol and reconnaissance transport, simply attaching a machine gun. Everything that I spoke of the German spirit of BMW should be considered through this subconsciously military prism.
Accuracy? Yes, the Bavarian all-wheel drives have clear management, but the civil parallels are inappropriate here, for example, some comparison of the car with a shark ... to control x5 m and x6 m is how to put a ship gun or close the hatch of the submarine at the target: all mechanisms are very accurate, but very accurate, but It is painfully heavy. Only sailors in old films about the war cope with them. I'm afraid they stuffed their hand for a long time.
Aggression? German SUVs are poured under the eyeballs. But it is intended for a short and victorious attack of a blitz-scrigue. You can use acceleration 4.7 seconds to hundreds only in the right place at the right time. Most often, to destroy Mercedes-Benz ML, which has up to one hundred 5 seconds.
Vice? He brings out of all the cracks of the body of the German SUV. Pouring on the x5-x6 m into a calm stream of cars, you feel like a soldier in dismissal. Such a warrior does not think about the protection of the fatherland. He has a glazed look, and he opens the door of the brothel with a savvy boot.
Tachometer detail is akin to a tie, but not in Emki, here it is like a watch
Glasses do not help
It is almost impossible to renounce emotions, speaking about the BMW series M., and yet let's even try for a short while.
So, BMW crossovers, prepared by the M-Technic department, are equipped with a 4.4-liter V8 engine with a V8 V8, which develops the maximum power of 555 horsepower. The maximum torque of 680 nm is available in the latest range of 15005650 rpm. M-Technic relies on turbocharged. The new M TwinPower Turbo is the world's first engine with technology of a common graduate collector, each of the four pipes of which serves two cylinders. Thus, a constant, free from any anti -current pressure on both snails of the Twin Scroll turbocharger is created.
In Lexus, speed is projected larger on the road, and BMW focuses on revolutions and transmission
What is unhealthy conservatism? Save giant air ducts, but deprive the driver of the genetically fixed algorithm for switching the gearbox
The distribution map of the moment (the work of pseudo -assemblies) is reflected on the monitor in real time
The spare wheel is not included in the basic configuration. For it you need to pay 3500 rubles.
Of course, Emock has more rigid settings of suspension and steering wheel. There is a function of automatic control of the Launch Control acceleration, with which they win the drag. And a bunch of electronics so that the body does not roll and the box does not switch to an increased step ahead of time.
The business is in the weight?
What is not here is off -road abilities. They are diligently destroyed. The BMW X5 m and BMW x6 m are equipped with gills in the front sides and 20-inch alloy disks. The use of tires of different sizes 275/40 r 20 in front and 315/35 R 20 at the back another result of the rear -wheel drive setting of the car.
Both models are accentuated by those elements of the body that perform the functions of improving aerodynamics and cooling. M-style is also a 10 mm infusive body position compared to conventional X5 and X6. Needless to say, geometric cross -country ability with all these improvements is insufficient even to overcome border stone.
The all -wheel drive BMW series M is sometimes attributed to neutral, sometimes rear -wheel drive controllability. We were convinced that both versions are true. X6 m behaves very correctly. You tie it into a turn, and he, evenly raking the asphalt with all four wheels, comes out of it, turning around the imaginary central axis. X5 m leaves no doubt that the rear axis is more subject to displacement. However, both cars have exactly the same type of all -wheel drive, identical settings of electronic assistants, a similar active differential on the rear bridge and, of course, the same tires. So, perhaps the case is in the weight. If you are used to the SUV habits, you will not experience shock, moving to x5 M. But the owners of traditional SUVs will have to get used to the exemplary behavior of x6 m.
A hundred more
The BMW series X not so long ago began to release ML63 in the sports performance of ML63 in the AMG. At the same time, the sports ML is not completely lost for off -road. In addition, it is atmospheric, and this also costs a lot. The only thing the BMW crossovers boast MW lines are won at 0.3 seconds in acceleration to one hundred kilometers. Is it worth feasting on the dynamics? On the test, we were much more delighted with the nature of braking than increased edification. The brakes work fantastically. When you press the left pedal, the events around unfold about at a speed of 50 km/h, although you really go a hundred more.
There will always be people who are ready to pay a couple of extra kilograms of money for magical 0.3 seconds of winnings from AMG. Maybe they are not so madmen. But I am sure that each of these perfectionists in the living room has a chandelier made from coastal spotlights. In the kitchen, a washing machine with a turbine from an airplane. And in the corridor a vacuum cleaner, sucking neighbors along with their metal doors. In this series, the BMW X5 m and x6 m look very
harmonious.
