BMW
In 2013 BMW will become a reality, as the product of two primes in the project for many months is anticipated. It will aim to differentiate BMW from the start made the use of alternative propulsion systems for fossil fuels.
BMW i3 and i8 is the first of a new family, and i3 and i8 Megacity vehicle carrying a production version of the concept of EfficientDynamics.
Both cars will be held in an aluminum frame reinforced plastic structures with carbon fiber construction called “LifeDrive architecture.”
For now, it was confirmed that the i8 will be built in Germany at the Leipzig plant with an investment of 400 million euros.
When we refer to the BMW 5 Series sedan we refer to (and sometimes wagon / touring) of intermediate size that belongs to the executive or luxury category. Since its debut in 1972, has been recognized as a reference of its kind and one of the creators of the segment called “luxury sport sedan. ” BMW has recently introduced the sixth generation of the 5 Series, which model discussed in this paper.
We strongly agree that the generation of the BMW E60 5 (marketed between 2004 and 2010) made ??a qualitative leap in terms of dynamic, technology, security and comfort in general, however, is the predecessor to this (E39, sold between 1996 and 2003) which still causes sighs among the fans of the brand’s blue and white cross. The 5 Series E60 can be an extremely capable car, but it has been a source of controversy. Everything is questioned due to the design of Chris Bangle, the confusing iDrive menu, etc. It can also be the fault of the fans of the brand, closed and backward to refuse to accept the new. Despite all the objections (or because of them), the BMW 5 Series from 2004-2010 historical enjoyed sales in the U.S. and around the world, which suggests that traditionalists were on the wrong side.
The BMW 5 Series Touring is the familiar body variant of the 5 Series. With the same engine and equipment, the family version is about 3,000 € more expensive (prices). There is another model BMW 5-Series also known as Gran Turismo, but that, despite what its name suggests, is more like a 7 Series.
The most obvious difference between the 5 Series saloon and family has to do with the silhouette of the body. In addition, the trunk has more capacity, it is easier to load and has accessories to facilitate the transport of what goes into it (more information). The rear seats have more headroom to the roof, the other dimensions remain unchanged.
All the car gives a great sense of quality, both by the carrier coating materials, for the attention that BMW has put in some details. It is difficult to assess whether better or worse is the fact that alternatives such as an Audi A6 Avant or Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate, it is probably something that will be easier to check with the passage of time. Offices to be picky, the E-Class Estate seems more robust, by how it sounds, the final pass broken (also has a softer suspension and comfortable).
The amount of equipment that can be very large, both elements related to comfort-entry and keyless start with lighting on the exterior door handles, four-zone air conditioning, ventilated front seats, panoramic glass roof, automatic Door (video that shows how it works), among others-like elements involved in the driving-information projected onto the windshield (image, video), assistant warning inadvertent lane change and obstacle in the blind spot active cruise control with stop-start function and a device able to park the car itself.
