If we consider the BMW lineup, then it will take a lot of time. Information about all the cars that were previously produced and produced today is enough to issue a whole book. However, the most popular and high-quality models should be discussed in more detail.
BMW 6 Series: start
Back in 1976, at the Geneva Motor Show, a sixth series BMW was introduced to the attention of the public and experts, which replaced the 3.0 CSi cars. The car, which was then to be released, received the designation “E 24”. His prototype was the model from the previous, fifth series - E 28 and E 12 (earlier version). The new car received a very original "predatory" design, for which it was nicknamed the shark. As a matter of fact, the character of the cars included in this BMW model line corresponded to the appearance. Especially for these machines, the developers made completely new engines, which were given the name M 06. The 633CSi first went on sale, followed by the 630CS - just a month later.
Alternative to the present
Even today, after almost thirty years, these cars are considered quite powerful and reliable - an indicator of 197 hp. not every modern car of some manufacturers boasts. Having become popular due to the initial versions, the sixth BMW lineup began to develop. In 1978, the 635CSi was released - its capacity was already 218 hp. For new models, others were produced - sports M 635CSi, fast E24 635CSi. But in 1999, the production of the series was completed. And only in 2003, the concern introduced the second generation.
Sports cars from the German manufacturer
The BMW lineup is not limited to coupe cars . The manufacturer is famous for its sports specimens. For example, one of the most prominent representatives is the BMW i8, which was developed and created in just 36 months. This car looks like a car released in a single copy, that is, exclusive. However, the model is released in a series. To “hundreds” the car accelerates in less than 4.5 seconds, giving out power of 362 hp. These are pretty solid indicators. And this is not the only car that BMW sports range can boast of. There are plenty of other cars that could surprise lovers 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 items.
Latest news
The eminent German manufacturer never tires of delighting the automotive world with new models. Each time they become better and better, only confirming their quality over and over again. Take, for example, the 2014 BMW lineup. One of the most “high-profile” novelties was the M6 Gran Coupe - a car in the image of which technical innovations of M-Technik with a luxurious sports design are embodied. One just has to run a glimpse of its technical characteristics, as everything becomes clear: the Twin-Turbo V8 engine, acceleration to 100 km in a little more than 4 seconds, power is 552 hp And such a model costs about four million rubles, if we talk about the simplest version. Another 2014 was remembered by the release of the restyled version of the X3. The motor was updated (replaced by a more modern one), the interior was improved, several additional options were added. The exterior has also changed - the grille has become more elegant, the headlights and the bumper have also changed.
From 1975 to 2012
What should a true BMW connoisseur be made to know? 3 model range, or the third series - it will be discussed about her. Since the year the first car was manufactured, the manufacturer has developed six generations of various models. The very first was the BMW E21 (1975-1983). I must say that they were pretty good sports sedans at the time. Next comes the E30 (1982-1994), represented by both generalists and convertibles. After - BMW E36 (1990-1998), which was transformed not only in terms of technical characteristics, but also changed the body. It was replaced by the fourth generation E46 (1998-2006), whose lineup consisted of coupes, convertibles, hatchbacks, sedans and station wagons. After it came the era of BMW E90 / E91 / E92 / E93 (2005-2011) and, finally, F30 / F31 / F34 - cars of the latest generation. 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, acceptable consumption, premium and a fairly reasonable price.
The phenomenal “five”
The range of BMW 5 Series also can not be ignored. It is represented by dozens of great cars. Take, for example, the BMW 540i Touring, which was produced from 1993 to 1997. Many people still want to buy this budget car with high power. The maximum speed of this rather old model is 250 km / h. A slightly more productive is considered the BMW 540i Touring (produced from 1997 to 2000). Although, of course, many people make the choice in his favor, because unlike the previous model, he has lower fuel consumption (a difference of several liters per 100 km). But if you can, then you should take the BMW M550d xDrive Touring. This car began to be published in 2013, and this five-door station wagon really combines the best qualities that a well-known manufacturer can give their cars. Its power is 381 hp, and to reach the mark of 100 km / h, this model needs less than five seconds. And, of course, fuel consumption compared to all previous cars is just ridiculous - only 5.5 l / 100 km outside the city and 7.7 within it. But such a car is not cheap - if you take a used one, then on average you will need to pay about 2,500,000 rubles.
The most expensive car
Perhaps, if we talk about BMW, then we should talk about those models that are the most expensive in the entire model range of this manufacturer. So, a machine like the M5 G-Power Hurricane RRs, released in 2012, costs 52 million rubles. The engine, whose power is 830 hp, maximum speed - 372 km / h, acceleration to “hundreds” - in less than 4.5 seconds and a stylish design that will not leave anyone indifferent. This is only a small part of how this model differs from the rest of its “brothers” in the brand, since its complete set includes several dozen different options.
Two-wheeled “iron horses”
The BMW concern, whose model range and car prices were discussed above, is also engaged in the production of motorcycles. Moreover, he succeeded in this area. Take, for example, the C 600 Sport - one of the most prominent representatives that 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 maximum, and only 4.5 liters per hundred kilometers are consumed. One of the simplest modern BMW motorcycles is the F 650 GS model - its minimum price is 390,000 rubles. Quite high speed (185 km / h), but low power and small volume. A great option for those people who are looking for an alternative to a car to move around the city. There are several dozens of other models: these are the F 700 GS, F 800 GS, G 650 GS Sertao, K 1300 S and many others.
You can talk for a long time on the topic of BMW cars and motorcycles. After all, there really is something to discuss. But in general, if a decision is made to purchase a vehicle of this brand, then in this case one thing can be stated with confidence - the purchase will be justified.
