Which the manufacturers themselves call sports coupe for those who prefer leisure, has a mass positive qualities. These include a comfortable and functional interior, powerful engine turbocharged, excellent handling on smooth roads, automatic transmission, powerful reliable suspension, respectability.
In the city, the car is very convenient, maneuverable, nimble, and for trips out of town, good roads, fits great. Sensitive steering, comfortable suspension, powerful engine, comfortable and pleasant salon, eye-catching appearance, chic and gloss, all this is the BMW X6.
This one in its appearance surpasses most of its competitors - cars of the same price category. And fuel consumption for cars of this class is very low. At quiet ride in the city, fuel consumption is up to twenty liters per hundred kilometers.
In general, this is a very worthy representative of its class - status parquet mid-size crossovers designed for comfortable and presentable movement, and making an impression, yet this is not just a crossover, because the Soviet Niva is also a crossover, like Renault Duster or Nissan Juke, but these cars are just a means of transportation, and the BMW X6 is a status, it is an indicator of the viability and success of its owner. And he really has a lot of advantages. But there are also a lot of downsides.
Minuses
BMW X6 cars have never been produced in Germany, but only in factories in the USA, Egypt, Malaysia, Thailand, India and Russia. Therefore, that legendary BMW reliability he doesn't have. As there is no cross-country ability of real SUVs and crossovers.
In the conditions of the city, the BMW X6 has almost no competitors, but where the roads are not very good, or even worse, this German passes. The disadvantages include a fairly cramped, even by the standards of mid-size crossovers, interior. The X6 is slightly larger in body size than its predecessor, the X5, which, however, did not lead to an increase in the interior. Rather, on the contrary, the interior of the X6 has become a little less than that of its ancestor.
Also, the quality of cars assembled in Kaliningrad is noticeably inferior to the quality of cars assembled in Spartanburg (USA). Many BMW X6 owners complain about frequent breakdowns. Not as frequent as breakdowns of cars made in the USSR, well, this car is of a completely different class. On the other hand, many owners of these cars praise them and rejoice in their reliability. So, apparently, here as lucky.
Final verdict on the BMW X6
In general, the BMW X6 is more of an image than a means of travel. An excellent fashion car, which is very comfortable to drive alone, well, or with a small family - mom, dad and child. But more big company it won't be as comfortable. So as a fashion car, it fully justifies its rather high cost and very expensive maintenance. That's how normal car for recreation is inferior to even cheaper counterparts.
Mercedes-Benz CLA ( Mercedes-Benz CLA) of the previous generation and the 2019 model differ radically. Earlier car served as a four-door version of the A-Class, but now it has its own V177 sedan. To maintain stable demand for CLA, the company decided to clearly define its niche by adding the word Coupe to the name. All the changes clearly benefited the novelty ....

Mazda 6 (Mazda 6) 2019 can be described with the help of a well-known saying - they are greeted by clothes, but they are escorted by mind.

"BMW X5", reviews of which in most cases are positive, is a crossover. It was presented to the world community for the first time in 1999. This name was given to the car, because "X" means four-wheel drive, and "5" - that the basis for the car was BMW model E39. The difference between them is that new version slightly shorter than the previous one, but at the same time it is larger in width and height.
The new model was made in sports type, so the functions of the SUV are reduced here. Vehicle assembly takes place in the United States for both domestic and American market as well as for the European one. The BMW X5 went on sale (diesel is the main engine used on these models) in 1999-2000.
After the X3 was launched in 2003, the X5 was restyled. As a result, the headlights and lanterns, the hood were “updated” and new engines of 3 and 4 liters appeared. Production of the E53 was discontinued in 2006 due to the release of the E70.
First generation
The first model of the BMW X5 line (reviews just below) was demonstrated to the world of motorists in 1999. Initially, the company introduced the car as a crossover with enough high traffic and good handling, people called it an unstable SUV. When developing this vehicle the company did not hide that it was going to create a "miracle" that would become much Better Range Rover. The assembly was carried out in Bavaria for two markets at once: America and Europe.
The German company is famous good quality its products, so we can say that nothing bad was expected from it. Leaders wanted to create new bmw, which can easily overcome both road kilometers and hard-to-reach places.
Specifications of the first generation
Reviews about the car fully justify its cost and, in fact, relying on them, we can say that the Germans still managed to overtake the Range. Gradually, after the release of the X5 model, BMW company constantly tried to change its appearance, modernize equipment, releasing more and more new options. For example, after a while, the engine was already installed in the car at 286 Horse power. The first option was a 6-cylinder engine, then it was replaced with an 8-cylinder one, which has an injection mode, fast acceleration, cooling. Now the unit has gradually gained momentum, it has become much better and stronger. Brake system by car non-standard; it is designed in such a way that it increases the mass of the support, creating a strong load when stopping distance. The entire tuning of the BMW X5 has undergone major changes, both external and internal. The body and bumper, auxiliary elements have changed a lot.
Second generation
I wonder if it is possible to successfully upgrade a car that has already achieved success and high popularity? The German company boldly answers “yes” and releases new version called E70. The dimensions of the second-generation BMW X5 do not differ much from the first. There were no changes in this area. The assembly of the car takes place in the same place in the United States. The car is equipped with new technical devices, a trip in such a crossover will be as safe, comfortable and loyal as possible.
In this "restart" of the line Big changes were produced in the engine: the 6-liter engine was replaced by a unit with 306 horsepower. IN diesel versions the car runs on a 6-cylinder engine.
third generation
Tuning "BMW X5" in the third generation is completely different from its ancestors. To the markets Russian Federation first, three versions of the car went on sale, but a little later the range expanded. For real car enthusiasts, the design of the new crossover may disappoint, as it has delicate and feminine features. But if you look at such a solution from German company on the other hand, this design is fully consistent with the modern style.
"BMW X5" (reviews well confirm the following fact) began to weigh less, but did not increase. have not changed since the first generation, but the materials used - yes. With the help of aluminum and resistant plastic, it was possible to reduce weight.
car engine
The car does not experience any problems with operation in winter period, the engine starts with a half turn even in the most severe frost. The new BMW X5 is equipped with an excellent unit that performs well in any conditions. The operation of the automatic transmission is perfectly synchronized with powerful motor, resulting in an instant response to pressing the gas pedal, without any delays and dips. The X5 model is not too voracious - fuel consumption in the city averages 11.5-12.0 l / 100 km, which is quite good. It is possible to increase fuel consumption in winter up to 13.0 l/100 km. On the highway, this figure drops to a modest mark of 8 l / 100km. When driving, the car easily picks up speed at 160 km / h, then the dynamics decrease slightly, but you can safely drive 180-190 km / h.
The BMW X5 test showed that this is a good SUV, but you should not expect from this model the performance of a real off-road "monster". The machine confidently overcomes snow obstacles of small and medium size, however, it has obvious difficulties with snowdrifts higher ground clearance. There is a danger of landing the car on the bottom, and here you can’t do without a shovel.
Machine decoration
driver's seat and steering wheel have a large number of electrical settings and adjustments, allowing any person to sit with maximum comfort. The new "BMW X5" is ideal for traveling long distances, the driver finds himself in excellent conditions, after long trips I don't feel tired, my back doesn't hurt or numb. Thanks to the big and convenient mirrors the cabin creates excellent visibility and viewing angle, there is no need to turn your head in different sides. Also, the review of the space behind the car is not satisfactory, everything can be seen clearly and well.
The soundproofing of the car is superbly done, no extraneous sounds. Passengers in the back of the car also feel quite comfortable. It can comfortably accommodate three adults.
The interior of the cabin is designed in a classic for BMW strict style, using expensive materials from the very High Quality. Appearance car is beyond praise. Updated body combines the brutality of the previous generation with modern elegance and grace, the car looks solid and elegant at the same time, which allows it to immediately attract attention on the road.
Pros and cons of used BMW crossover X1Oh, there were times - here's a car for you, here's an SUV! Choose. And what's going on today is just crazy. Passenger model it may well have all-wheel drive, in addition, each automaker has crossovers (almost cars?) in its lineup, some of which have several transmission options (almost SUVs?). frame machines now in short supply, but they can be found. So try to choose a stick of sausage when there are so many varieties on the counter.
And yet there is a certain category of people who do not want to drive crossovers or SUVs. Here they feel that they do not mind all-wheel drive and sometimes there is not enough clearance, but they do not want to. Just for such - wagon off-road. Perhaps this name is ideal for our today's hero - BMW X1. It's based on a 3-series model, so it's fairly compact, and its "swift" low body makes it look more like a passenger car than "something off-road". Yes, and the habits of the "X-first" are typically passenger: of course, there is a little more roll in corners, but it keeps the trajectory confidently and allows you to make sharp turns. Actually, X1 owners regularly use this: why not, if the chassis has it, and the engines provide excellent dynamics. Of course, with the base gasoline 2.0 l (150 hp) you can’t really be smart, but for everyday driving within the city it is quite enough. Diesel modifications are more popular, although until recently “diesel” and “premium class” were almost antonyms. The Bavarians, of course, were smart with the model designation: for example, under the hood of the xDrive18d, not a 1.8-liter, but a 2.0-liter unit with a capacity of 143 hp is installed. Why not 20d? There is one with the same two-liter turbodiesel, but developing 177 "horses". Want more help - please. Very good option xDrive28i (3.0 l, 258 hp). There are no significant complaints about any of the units, except for minor complaints: for example, the 2.0-liter gasoline engine often there is a leak from under the timing chain tensioner. The same applies to other units: they break down extremely rarely, and mainly “due to” improper operation. Of the obvious “diseases”, one can only recall a leak along the perimeter of the automatic transmission oil pan: it is believed that the plastic pan warps over time and ceases to fit snugly against the body. It would seem a trifle, but replacing the pallet is not cheap: original part will pull on 22,000 rubles, about 5,000 more will be taken for its replacement.
Many spiteful critics believe that BMW weak suspension: they say, a bulkhead may be required after the first serious trip. In specialized services of a different opinion. Somehow significant renovation the chassis does not ask for up to 100,000 km or even more - except that small things will have to be changed. So in long trips you can go safely. True, there is one “but” here: X1, although it is ready to move off the asphalt, is deprived of a spare wheel for the sake of modern fashion (more precisely, its vision by Bavarian engineers). The manufacturer is sure that nothing critical will happen during a puncture: reinforced sidewalls tires Run Flat will allow you to reach the nearest tire service even with a flat tire. But such tires are quite expensive, so after the standard set wears out, car owners switch to ordinary tires that no longer have special properties. When hitting a nail, sealant sometimes saves (do not forget to equip the car with it after purchase), but with a more or less serious cut, you will have to remove the wheel and somehow take it to the workshop. So it’s better not to climb into unfamiliar places alone.
Since we have touched on the topic of travel, we note one more feature of Bavarian crossovers that consume heavy fuel. In order for the driver of the diesel X1 not to accidentally refuel the car with gasoline, the engineers provided a special valve in the tank. Only the right one can open it. filling gun: for diesel fuel according to European standards, its tip has a larger diameter than that of "gasoline". Alas, on Russian gas stations pistols for cars most often the same, so you have to carry an adapter with you that solves this problem. There is also a trick - you can try to fill in fuel at a truck dispenser.
Of course, X1 today has enough competitors. But among the compact "premium" crossovers, it is rightfully considered one of the most worthy (though not the most modern). You can test this in practice.
Expert opinion

Anton Sergeev, service manager technical center"Unit"
BMW X1, like any other car, has some drawbacks. But in this case they are so insignificant that we don't even want to talk about them. In global terms, the crossover is quite reliable: this applies to the units and the main suspension parts. The 2.0-liter diesel engine, high-torque and economical, has proven itself perfectly. I want to advise the owners diesel vehicles don't pay too much attention to recommendations. on-board computer oil change: change it more often, at least once every 10 thousand km. We are sometimes surprised to find that outwardly flawless specimens that have undergone all maintenance at the dealer have problems with the engine lubrication system. You open the oil filler cap - and there is almost shoe polish.

And what do you dear think about diesel on BMW? Answers like "sucks" and "sucks" are accepted only from "clean boys" with show-offs sticking out of all the tinted windows :) It seemed to me that they were somehow looking at the brothers in the "suit with different blood" without enthusiasm. Why, however? Collected here are private opinions.
Firm bmw-famous worldwide manufacturer of powerful and dynamic sports cars. Diesel, according to the prevailing opinion, does not quite correspond high speeds- he, de, is noisy and not powerful enough, and indeed a unit for lovers of unhurried economical driving.
Perhaps this discrepancy was the reason that diesel BMWs appeared on the market much later than others - only in 1983. But we must pay tribute to the company - she managed to create a successful compromise between efficiency, traction characteristics diesel engine and its own sporty image. Everyone who has traveled diesel BMW, note their excellent traction and speed qualities, low noise and vibration. It is, of course, about serviceable engines in good technical condition.
Until recently, BMW produced 3 types diesel engines(all in-line, swirl chamber): six-cylinder M21D24 with a volume of 2.4 liters with or without turbocharging; six-cylinder M51D25 2.5-liter turbocharged; four-cylinder M41D18 1.7 liter turbocharged.
Now there is a new generation of BMW turbodiesels with direct injection and four-valve gas distribution. but their design is hardly of practical interest so far, since there are single copies of such motors in Russia.
In the course of many years of observations of a diesel engine (NOT from the outside), we can summarize this:
The savings are very significant, but the purchase of a diesel engine is rational, starting from 20,000 km per year, since the maintenance of a diesel engine is more expensive (more often changing oil, filters, more expensive details engine (more wear-resistant, reinforced) expensive and complex fuel supply equipment).
BMW diesels of all series are made of excellent structural materials and are in excellent condition. at good service, provide a mileage of 300-400 thousand km, even in Russian conditions. At least when revising engines with a mileage of more than 250 thousand km, very often it was not possible to detect any noticeable wear of the cylinder block and crankshaft, and the whole repair was reduced to the replacement piston rings and liners.
In winter, no regular recharge is required when filling up with all sorts of specific fuels. liquids (such as "increase cetane number", etc.). But in the off-season, it is recommended to use a fuel depressant additive.
Noise only at idle, but among vortex chamber engines, BMW has the smallest noise (serviceable car).
There is no smell at all (unless the negligent owner has a return flow);
The difficulty of starting in winter (down to -35 C, then you need arctic diesel fuel) is only for a would-be driver with a dead car;
The only difficulty in service is complex fuel supply equipment, especially with electronic control, otherwise it is simpler.
Diesel engines in Russia the main problem- fuel (sometimes water + rust + summer diesel fuel in winter). The first is solved as follows - replacing the t / filter = 10.000 km, and once every 1000-2000 km the sediment is drained from the filter, but it is best to defend the fuel - 100% will eliminate problems with dirt and water. The second is solved by setting autonomous heater fuel Belarusian company Nomacon (reviews are very good) about $70.
A prerequisite for operating a car with a turbine is not to turn off the diesel immediately, let it run for 1-3 minutes at idle, which does NOT increase the appetite for the cherished "hundred", since the diesel consumption at the twentieth is ridiculous. Then the turbine will live up to 450.000 km.
