If we consider the BMW lineup, then it will take a very long time. Information about all the cars that were produced earlier and are being produced today is enough for the release of a whole book. However, it is worth talking about the most popular and high-quality models in more detail.
BMW 6 Series: Getting Started
Back in 1976, at 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 cars. The car, which then had to go out, received the designation "E 24". Its prototype was the models 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 nature of the cars included in this BMW lineup corresponded to the appearance. Especially for these machines, the developers have made perfect new engines,which were given the name M 06. The 633CSi went on sale first, followed by the 630CS, just a month later.
An alternative to modernity
Even today, almost thirty years later, these cars are considered quite powerful and reliable - an indicator of 197 hp. not every modern car of some manufacturers can boast. Having become popular due to the initial versions, the sixth BMW lineup began to develop. In 1978, the 635CSi car was released - its power was already 218 hp. After the new models, others were produced - the sports M 635CSi, the 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 a German manufacturer
The BMW range is not limited to coupes. The manufacturer is also famous for its sportswear. For example, one of the brightest representatives is the BMW i8, which was developed and created in just 36 months. This car looks like a car produced in a single copy, that is, exclusively. However, the model was released as a whole series. The car accelerates to “hundreds” in less than 4.5 seconds, delivering 362 hp. These are pretty solid figures. And this is not the only car that BMW's sports lineup can boast of. There are many other cars that were able to 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 items.
Latest news
The eminent German manufacturer does not get tired to please 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 that embodies the technical innovations of M-Technik with a luxurious sporty design. One has only to glance over its technical characteristics, as everything becomes clear: Twin-Turbo V8 engine, acceleration to 100 km in just over 4 seconds, power of 552 hp. And such a model costs about four million rubles, if we talk about the simplest version. Another year 2014 was remembered for the release of a restyled version of the X3. The engine was updated (replaced with a more modern one), the interior was improved, several additional options were added. The exterior has also changed - the radiator grille has become more elegant, the headlights and bumper have also changed.
From 1975 to 2012
What must a true BMW connoisseur be familiar with? 3 lineup, or the third series - it will be discussed about it. Since the year the first car was produced, the manufacturer has developed six generations of different models. The very first was the BMW E21 (1975-1983). I must say that these were pretty good sports sedans in their time. Next comes the E30 (1982-1994), introducedboth station wagons and convertibles. After - BMW E36 (1990-1998), which changed not only in terms of technical characteristics, but also changed the body. It was replaced by the fourth generation E46 (1998-2006), the lineup of which consisted of coupes, convertibles, hatchbacks, sedans and station wagons. Then came the era of the BMW E90/E91/E92/E93 (2005-2011) and finally the F30/F31/F34, the latest generation of cars. Every year, BMW cars, the lineup 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 balance of high power, acceptable consumption, premium class and a fairly moderate price.
The Phenomenal Five
The BMW 5 Series lineup also cannot be ignored. It is represented by dozens of excellent cars. Take, for example, the BMW 540i Touring, produced from 1993 to 1997. Many people still want to buy this budget car with high power to this day. The maximum speed of this rather old model is 250 km/h. Slightly more productive is the BMW 540i Touring (produced from 1997 to 2000). Although, of course, many make a choice in his favor, because, unlike the previous model, he has lower fuel consumption (a difference of several liters per 100 km). But if possible, then you should take the BMW M550d xDrive Touring. This car began to appear in 2013, and this five-door station wagon really combines the best qualities that onlycan endow their machines with a well-known manufacturer. 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 simply ridiculous - only 5.5 l / 100 km outside the city and 7.7 - within it. But such a car is also not cheap - if you take a used one, then on average you will need to pay about 2,500,000 rubles.
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, 52 million rubles is worth such a machine as the M5 G-Power Hurricane RRs, released in 2012. The engine, whose power is equal to 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 what distinguishes this model from the rest of its “brothers” by brand, since its complete set includes several dozen different options.
Two-wheeled Iron Horses
The BMW concern, whose model range and prices of cars were discussed above, is also engaged in the production of motorcycles. And in this area, he succeeded. Take, for example, the C 600 Sport, one of the brightest representatives that offers buyers 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 toto which the maximum speed that can be powerfully developed 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 consumes only 4.5 liters per hundred kilometers. One of the simplest modern BMW motorcycles is the F 650 GS model - its minimum price is 390,000 rubles. Fairly 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 get around the city. There are dozens of other models: F 700 GS, F 800 GS, G 650 GS Sertao, K 1300 S and many others.
One can talk for a long time on the subject of BMW cars and motorcycles. Indeed, there is something to discuss. But in general, if a decision is made to purchase a vehicle of this brand, then one thing can be said with certainty - the purchase will be justified.
