Posted by Sheffin

The BMW Z4 roadster is a two-seater that replaces the Z3. Its style has some traits of the prototypes BMW X-Coupe and BMW CS1.

The proportions of the body do not change much compared with the Z3. The BMW Z4 is a little more length, width and has something more than battle. A motor equality, not a heavier car, through the use of lightweight materials in its construction (aluminum and magnesium).

Initially, the BMW Z4 has a 2.5 liter engine with 192 hp or a 3.0 liter, 231 hp (the same engines that are used in the Series 3). The maximum speed is announced 235 and 250 mph respectively. Both versions carry a change of manual series, the BMW Z4 2.5i with five walks and the BMW Z4 3.0i with six speeds.

Alternatively, both versions can have two types of automatic gearbox with sequential command: a type of traditional torque converter and five walks (Steptronic) and another with the structure of a manual, clutch and automated controls on the steering wheel that has six-speed (SMG).

The rear suspension is similar to that of the 3 Series, albeit with minor modifications. The BMW Z4 is the first of series with a direction of electric assistance (EPS). Optionally, has an electronic system (called CDF) with which it is possible to vary the assistance of management, the engine response to throttle and, if you have automatic change, the program that it controls.

First impressions to hand wheel received has been very positive. The BMW Z4 has a stability much higher than Z3 and a more predictable reactions. In general I think a car much easier to drive and even more effective in all circumstances.

For qualities of the chassis (much more rigid than the Z3), I think it is at a level very close to the Porsche Boxter or the Honda S2000, two excellent references among cabriolets in its class.

The carrier is comfortable for both passengers and luggage compartment volume has won respect to Z3. While still small in general, have more capacity trunk that most of the roadster its size.

Those responsible for BMW do not provide a version 'M Roadster' of the BMW Z4, but say they are prepared for it, nor will a variant with bodywork as in the Z3 coupe it replaces. They also claim that has not been planned to mount any four-cylinder engine in the BMW Z4 (as it was the Z3).

The BMW X6 is an all-terrain slightly greater length and width for the X5, but somewhat lower. It measures 4,877 mm long, 1,983 mm in width and 1,766 mm in height. Its wheelbase is identical to that of a X5 (2,933 mm).

It has the peculiarity that the rear of its body is falling sharply, which gives some aspect of coupe. A motor equality, the BMW X6 is more expensive than the X5, even taking into account that the BMW X6 has serial xenon headlamps and rear chamber to aid parking (this is optional on the X5). Comparison equipping of the X5 and BMW X6 diesel-engined.

2009 BMW X6

The range of engines available at launch consists of a variant of gasoline, xDrive35i (306 hp) and two Diesel, xDrive30d and xDrive35d (with 236 hp and 285 respectively).

2009 BMW X6

The BMW X6 and the X5 have the same diesel engines. The petrol 306 hp what can bring the 1 Series Coupe and 3 Series. Soon after launching the BMW X6 debut V8 gasoline engine of 408 hp.

2009 BMW X6

All engines have dual turbocharger (except the less powerful diesel) and direct injection of fuel.

2009 BMW X6

The BMW X6 has four seats, all of them have individual seats. This is the first time that BMW uses this setup for a SUV. Between each row of seats is a console.

2009 BMW X6
BMW X6

So far, we have not measured the BMW X6. What BMW said in its announcement that it is in the rear seats there is plenty of headroom for people 'very high', also said that where there is more headroom to the roof is in the front seats.

2009 BMW X6
BMW X6

The dashboard of the BMW X6 is very similar to an X5. One difference is that the BMW X6 has a surface pad in the console, up to the knees of the occupants. This information usually comes either in the areas of curves, to be supported without harm.

2009 BMW X6

The trunk has a volume of 570 l until the tray is covered (X5 has 620l). When will carry high objects (although the fall that has prevented the gate that they are much), the tray can be left at a site provided at the bottom of the trunk. To expand the volume of the trunk can reduce each of the rear seats separately.

2009 BMW X6

The tailgate has a series of allowing two abrirlo different angles. Optionally, the BMW X6 can have an electric motor to automatically open and close the gate.

The steering wheel that has the BMW X6 is lined leather, is a sport, you have to change cams running and controls to manage the phone and radio. It is bringing two buttons whose functions can be scheduled.

2009 BMW X6
BMW X6

As in other BMW, to control navigation systems, climate control, entertainment and communication, the BMW X6 takes command of the series' i-Drive "between the front seats. In addition, the console there are eight programmable keys that, as a "shortcut" allows tune a station, the destination browser or dial a phone number frequently without having to manage the command i-Drive.

BMW X6

The equipment that may have the BMW X6 and that has to do with the dynamic qualities consists of active steering and active stabilizing ("Dynamic Drive") and suspension of varying hardness. All versions have four-wheel-drive, through a system similar to the X3 and X5 ("xDrive").

BMW X6

The BMW X6 premieres device Dynamic Performance Control. This information allows vary the force that makes the two rear wheels in an independent manner both at the stage of acceleration in the retention by promoting the ability of traction or the ability to vary the trajectory (agility), as appropriate.

BMW X6

The operation of "Dynamic Performance Control 'is shown in a graphic representation in the instrumentation: bar charts show the strength that is being implemented in each of the wheels.

BMW X6

The tyres are bearing the BMW X6-type 'run flat' (without pressure can shoot a low speed and for a few kilometres) and the number of tires are 19 inches in diameter.

BMW X6

The BMW X6 has a number of sensors included in the data network control stability 'DSC', which if it can produce a turnaround, tense safety belts, airbags and active head. It is a protection system before the collision.

BMW X6

The BMW X6 xDrive50i (technical information of this engine) reaches 250 mph maximum speed, accelerates to 100 km in 5.4 seconds and has an average consumption of 12.5 litres/100 km. That includes a link between performance and favorable consumption.

BMW X6

The all-terrain they spend the same are clearly less powerful and slower. Some of those who have a similar power (such as the Porsche Cayenne GTS) are not significantly faster and spend more.

BMW X6

Among the versions of the X5 and the BMW X6 that are equivalent per engine (Diesels of 235 and 286 hp), the curiously BMW X6 consumption has a slightly higher performance lower. It is curious that this occurs when the weight of both cars is virtually the same, the drag is a little lower in the BMW X6 (has less surface front) and the developments of the gearbox are the same.

2008 BMW X5
BMW X5

The BMW X5 ( year 2007 is larger than the previous generation. It measures 4,854 mm in length (187 mm), 1,933 wide (61 mm) and 1,766 high (54 mm).

2008 BMW X5
BMW X5

The length is similar to that of a Subaru Tribieca; is higher than a Mercedes-Benz ML or a Porsche Cayenne and less than an Audi Q7.

2008 BMW X5
BMW X5

The biggest difference regarding the functional range above is the possibility of carrying three rows of seats, with seven seats in total. The third row of seats not has easy access, nor is comfortable for people over 1.70 m or long journeys.

2008 BMW X5
BMW X5

When using the three rows of seats, the trunk volume is 200 l, is a volume similar to cars as a Citroën C2, and the norm in a whole field of seven seats given its size: a Jeep Commander (which is 67 mm shorter) or an Audi Q7 (which is 232 mm longer) have 170 and 330 litre respectively.

2008 BMW X5
BMW X5

The volume of the trunk, with the third row of seats folded is 530 l. In versions of five seats, the trunk volume increases to 620 litres per 90 l of a hole that is under the ground. If you hit the seats of the second row, is a flat surface (image) and a volume of 1,750 l. The gasoline is a six-cylinder in line with 272 hp and one of eight cylinders in V giving 355 hp, both atmospheric.

2008 BMW X5
BMW X5

The less powerful Diesel has six cylinders arranged in line and gives 235 hp. Since September 2007, is available with a Diesel dual turbo series of 286 hp (3.0sd; 61,900 €) also leads the BMW X3. With this engine, the BMW X5 (more) has some notable benefits but stressed above all by how little it spends.

BMW X5
BMW X5

In fact, the average consumption approved is less than the BMW X5 3.0d 235 hp. A Volvo XC90 D5 (185 hp) spends the same as this BMW 286 hp.

2008 BMW X5 engine
BMW X5

In addition, the range since 2008, the rest of the engines of the BMW X5 have various improvements (more) to reduce consumption and, in the case of 3.0d, also improve some benefits.

BMW X5

The BMW X5 3.0d of 235 hp is currently the most powerful diesel engine cylinder capacity of three liters and a single turbocharger, is basically the same as lead, with less power, the 330d, 530d and 730d. I think the most reasonable option within the range if benefits are valued together and consumption.

BMW X5

The BMW X5 3.0si has a gasoline engine and six-cylinder 3.0 litre engine capacity of 272 hp version (which premiered on 3 Series Coupe). The less powerful versions of this engine and gave a very good (in the 330i, for example). Like other engines with BMW Valvetronic distribution rate (more), consumption of this engine is very low.

BMW X5

All versions have a series of automatic gearbox six speeds. With this box, few users of cast least one manual on the road, and even less in rural areas (more driving impressions).

BMW X5

The diesel version is 235 hp, next to Mercedes-Benz ML 320 CDI, the most expensive among all-terrain characteristics of its five seats. A Jeep Grand Cherokee or a Volkswagen Touareg are more affordable.

BMW X5

Of these four, the Jeep is the one who has the drive system more effective field, but their finishes are clearly worse than those of the other three and is the most awkward road. The Volkswagen Touareg and Mercedes-Benz ML are also more advisable that the BMW X5 to travel outside the asphalt if they have the options of air suspension and rear differential lock. Of the four, the BMW is the only one that can not be reductive.

BMW X5

Among all the land that may have seven seats, the BMW X5 3.0d is the second most expensive (the first and by far is the Mercedes-Benz GL 320 CDI). For a little less than the cost of the BMW is the Audi Q7 3.0 TDI. The most affordable is the Jeep Commander 3.0 V6 CRD, which costs almost 30 percent less than the Audi or BMW.

BMW X5

The quality of the BMW X5 is very good and we did not find any fault remarkable, except in the aspect metallic coating is on the basis of the lever of change (he was a bubble like that remain to put a sticker). Moreover, the materials seem high quality settings are correct and the feel of the controls is good.

BMW X5

The base price of the BMW X5 can be increased substantially if we include some of the options available in the list of equipment. Precisely, the amount and type of equipment that can lead this BMW is a differentiator.

BMW X5

For example, the version of evidence that we had included elements such as projecting information on the windshield, browser, a developer who controls the speed brakes, panoramic glass roof practicable (more), rear chamber to facilitate maneuvers whose image combined with the sensors that detect ultrasound (picture), xenon headlamps with adaptive lighting connection and disconnection-long automatic of lights or television to complete some 26,000 € in options.

BMW X5

Other options available are the active steering, the system "Adaptive Drive" which controls the rocking of the body, one of four climate zones, different types of seats or automatic locks and keyless start. Since March 2008 there is a system of opening and closing automatic gate.

BMW X5

BMW has changed the management system iDrive giving it eight programmable buttons, each of them to go straight to the role chosen by the driver. They are a fitting complement to the system and allowing programming destinations in the browser, phone call or direct radio stations. The display of this system is new, has automatic adjustment of brightness and an area less reflective

BMW X5

The safety equipment as standard six air bags (including curtain-type head for the first two rows of seats), tensors emergency belts of the two first rows of seats, tension limiters in the front seats and rings Isofix seats in the second row.

BMW X3

The BMW X3 is an all-terrain light nearly 4.6 m long. As with the X5, stresses on other models of its features for its dynamic qualities on the road.

Outside it, despite the proper functioning of total traction system, the absence of reductive and a suspension with little progress to limit their journey complicated obstacles.

The passenger compartment and the trunk have a capacity commensurate with the exterior dimensions of the car.

2008 BMW X3

Compared with other similar models, the BMW X3 is a lack of elements that provide greater functionality to the carrier, as some rear seats that can slide on a rail. It is a quality car by the feeling that conveys strength, but has coatings materials that are not showy.

2008 BMW X3

The BMW X3 is an expensive model, prices range from 40,300 to 57,800 €, although there is no other all-terrain of its size offering a range of very powerful engines (gasoline and up to 272 hp Diesel up to 286 hp).

2008 BMW X3

The Land Rover Freelander 2 is very close in price, but the more powerful version of gasoline has only 233 hp and 160 hp diesel. The Mazda CX-7 has a gasoline engine pressure of 260 hp and is much cheaper but now can not have any other engine.

2008 BMW X3

The Volkswagen Tiguan is a model of the BMW X3 very similar features and costs considerably less, although its range of engines is also less power than the BMW X3. Another alternative to this model BMW is the new Volvo XC60.

The gasoline are: a 2.0 litre engine capacity and 150 hp (called 2.0i), another 2.5-litre 218 hp (2.5si) and a third of 3.0 l giving 272 hp (3.0si). The latter is a variant (of the three that there are on sale now) gasoline engine of 3.0 litres of engine capacity they have other models of BMW, as the 130I of 265 hp or 258 hp of the 330i. The Diesel is 4-cylinder of 2.0 litre with 177 hp (2.0d), and two six-cylinder, 3.0 l, 218 or 286 hp (3.0dy 3.0sd).

The 2008 BMW X3 range, which is currently up for sale, has certain modifications have lower consumption. The BMW X3 does not have some elements which are available with other models of BMW, as the system of automatic stop and start or recommendation regarding the shifter.

2008 BMW X3

The full range BMW X3 has a total switchable traction system automatically called "xDrive" (more in the technical section). In addition to improving traction, the system "xDrive" also intervenes to correct the trajectory before they do so stability control (DSC "in BMW). The 'DSC' has other functions as the drying of the discs, compensation of fading, trailer stabilization and control speed descents (HDC).

2008 BMW X3

The standard equipment for all versions includes, among others, stability control, front airbags, front and side curtain for the four seats outside, active head restraints (60 mm move forward and 40 mm upwards), notice of loss tire pressure (when it decreases by 30 per cent of its nominal value), climate control, trip computer, fog, radio with CD player and auxiliary connection, alloy wheels and spare wheel emergency.
