Interior and exterior

Manufacturers and bozhatsya swear that the new body line of the five have become more dynamic and expressive. Not all can agree: some of the characteristics of the bonnet seemed somewhat more blurred than in the older version. But, in general, the exterior the new model looks more modern. And the side profile of the game of light and shade is quite impressive.Amazing deals on R4 revolution for ds online |

The interior subtly reminds the older version of the Five, and Seven, and even the Z4. The instrument panel is designed in the form of two rings. Instead, the company is now the red light glows in the dark orange. But in the light of the testimony of devices melkovaty - at high speed to make out their will trudno.2 True, if paid a thousand-odd dollars, the problem is solved simply and elegantly. New development of Bavarian engineers - Projector Display on the windscreen. It seems that ekranchik hovers in the air just above the wheel. And the passengers, he does not see - they are viewed from another angle.

Engines and transmissions. Features.

On the 525i and 530i versions are available 6-cylinder engine volume, respectively, 2.5 and 3 liters. At the top-545i version is V8 power of 333 hp Six-speed from the Group of Seven is probably superior to the competitors from the Audi A6 and Mercedec E-class for the quick response. The disadvantage to Russia - rear-wheel drive, all the same we have a long winter. But, as an option, it is proposed, and a full drive. Compared with the previous version of "Five" has become larger in size, but lighter by 75 kg. The case - in the use of aluminum alloy chassis.

Rudder on the top model can not not like it, because it is active - working the system AFS (Active Front Steering). At low speeds and in turn a small angle of torsion of the wheel gives a great turn of the wheels. But at high speeds the steering wheel is much worse.

BMW - the only foreign cars E-Class, which meets in Russia - in Kaliningrad. Is this good or bad - is difficult to say. However, the flagship of the series 545i comes only from Germany.

From a senior comrade - "Seven" - the system has iDrive. The convenient joystick allows you to manage all the secondary functions of the car. Unlike the G-joystick operates in four, not eight areas (climate, navigation, entertainment and communication). But the buttons on the toolbar otmerli almost like a relic - as opposed to, say, from the classmates of the Mercedes. Disputes about the iDrive system is still a lot. However, it seems that the leaders of business-class management should be built exactly uniform. And probably all of that, sooner or later, come and other manufacturers.
