BMW model range: review, photo, technical characteristics. The main differences of new cars from the outdated version

If we consider the BMW range, then it takes a very long time. Information about all cars that were produced earlier and produced for today, enough for the production of a book. However, the most popular and high-quality models should be discussed in more detail.

BMW 6 series: the beginning

In the distant 1976 year in the Geneva Motor Show, the attention of the public and experts was given to the BMW of the sixth series, which replaced the 3.0 CSi. The car, which was then supposed to be published, received the designation "E 24". His prototype was the model from the previous, the fifth series - E 28 and E 12 (earlier version). The new car received a very original "predatory" design, for which he was nicknamed a shark. Strictly speaking, the character of the cars that make up this BMW range coincided with the appearance. Especially for these machines, the developers produced perfect new engines, which were given the name M 06. The 633CSi model was first sold, followed by 630CS, just a month later.

The alternative of modernity

Even today, after almost thirty years, these cars are considered quite powerful and reliable - an indicator of 197 hp. Not every modern machine of some manufacturers boasts. Becoming popular at the expense of initial versions, the sixth model range of BMW began to develop. In 1978, the light went to the car 635CSi - its power was already 218 hp. For the new models were produced others - sports M 635CSi, fast E24 635CSi. But in 1999 the production of the series was completed. And only in 2003 the concern presented the second generation.

Sports cars from the German manufacturer

The BMW range is not limited to coupe cars . The manufacturer is famous for its sports models. For example, one of the brightest representatives is BMW i8, which was developed and created in just 36 months. This car looks like a car, released in a single copy, that is, exclusively. However, the model is released in a whole series. Before the "hundreds" the car accelerates in less than 4.5 seconds, producing a power of 362 hp. These are pretty solid figures. And this is not the only car that the BMW sports model boasts. There are a lot of other cars that could surprise connoisseurs of fast driving: M3 GTS G-Power SK II Sporty Drive CS, M3 GTS G-Power, M3 GTR Street (E46), 435i Cabrio M Sport Package (F33), 435i Coupe (F32 ), As well as a few dozen other names.

Latest News

The renowned German manufacturer is not tired of pleasing the car world with new models. Each time they become better and better, only confirming over and over again their quality. Take, for example, the BMW lineup of 2014. One of the most "high-profile" novelties was the M6 Gran Coupe - a machine in the form of which embodied the technical innovations of M-Technik with a luxurious sports design. It is worth only a brief run through its technical characteristics, as everything becomes clear: the engine Twin-Turbo V8, acceleration to 100 km in little more than 4 seconds, power in 552 hp And there is such a model of about four million rubles, if we talk about the simplest version. Another 2014 was remembered by the release of the restyling version of X3. The engine was updated (replaced by a more modern one), the interior was improved, several additional options were added. The exterior also changed - the radiator grille became more elegant, the headlights and the bumper were also transformed.

From 1975 to 2012

With what a mandatory must be acquainted with a true connoisseur of BMW? 3 model line, or the third series - it's about it will be discussed. Since the year of production of the first car, the manufacturer has developed six generations of different models. The very first was the BMW E21 (1975-1983). I must say that these were quite good sports sedans in due time. Next comes the E30 (1982-1994), which is presented by both universals and cabriolets. After - BMW E36 (1990-1998), which was transformed not only in terms of technical characteristics, but also changed the bodywork. It was replaced by the fourth generation E46 (1998-2006), the model range of which consisted of coupes, convertibles, hatchbacks, sedans and station wagons. After the era of the BMW E90 / E91 / E92 / E93 (2005-2011), and finally, the F30 / F31 / F34 are the latest generation of cars. Every year BMW cars, the model range of which was presented above, became more and more perfect. One of the best representatives of the latest generation is the BMW 3 Gran Turismo - an almost perfect ratio of high power, reasonable consumption, premium and fairly reasonable price.

Phenomenal "five"

The BMW 5 Series also can not be ignored. It is represented by dozens of excellent cars. Take, for example, the BMW 540i Touring, manufactured from 1993 to 1997. Many people still want to buy this budget car with high power. The maximum speed of this fairly old model is 250 km / h. Slightly more productive is the BMW 540i Touring (produced from 1997 to 2000). Although, of course, many make the choice in his favor, because unlike the previous model, he has a lower fuel consumption (a difference of several liters per 100 km). But if there is an opportunity, it's worth taking the BMW M550d xDrive Touring. This car began to be launched in 2013, and this five-door station wagon really combines the best qualities that a well-known manufacturer can only endow. Its power is 381 hp, and to reach a mark of 100 km / h, this model needs less than five seconds. And, of course, fuel consumption in comparison with all previous cars is simply ridiculous - only 5.5 l / 100 km outside the city and 7.7 - within it. But also there is such car not cheaply - if to take second-hand, on the average it will be necessary to pay about 2 500 000 rubles.

The most expensive car

Perhaps, if we talk about BMW, we should talk about those models that are the most expensive in the entire model range of this manufacturer. So, 52 million rubles is a machine like the M5 G-Power Hurricane RRs, released in 2012. The engine, whose power is 830 hp, the speed at the maximum - 372 km / h, acceleration to "hundreds" - less than 4.5 seconds and a stylish design that will not leave anyone indifferent. This is only a small part of what this model differs from the rest of its "colleagues" in the brand, as its complete set includes several dozen different options.

Two-wheeled "iron horses"

Concern BMW, a model number and the prices of which cars were discussed above, is engaged also in manufacture of motorcycles. And in this area, he succeeded. Take, for example, C 600 Sport - one of the brightest representatives, which offers customers a range of BMW motorcycles. Its price is about 11 thousand dollars. The motorcycle is equipped with a powerful 647-cc engine for two cylinders, thanks to which the maximum speed, which is powerful to develop on this scooter, reaches 175 km / h. A more serious model is the BMW K 1600 GT. The cost of a motorcycle is equal to the price of a good car - an amount of 1 039 000 rubles is set for such a vehicle. It develops more than 200 km / h at a maximum, and consumes only 4.5 liters per hundred kilometers. One of the most simple modern motorcycles BMW is the model F 650 GS - its minimum price is 390 000 r. Quite high speed (185 km / h), but low power and small volume. An excellent option for those people who are looking for an alternative to a car to travel around the city. There are several dozen other models: F 700 GS, F 800 GS, G 650 GS Sertao, K 1300 S and many others.

On the topic of cars and motorcycles BMW, you can talk for a long time. After all, there really is something to discuss. But in general, if it is decided to purchase a vehicle of this brand, then in this case one can be stated with certainty - the purchase will be justified.
