BMW X6

The best BMW 

BMW X6 created on "X" of the 5th generation wheelbase they millimeter millimeter. And technology total - including power units. In the line of steam engines tselnoalyuminievyh
petrol and 3-liter diesel engine (in 2 versions). The base is equipped with xDrive 35i row 3-liter "six": with direct fuel injection into the combustion chamber and the bi-turbo it develops up to 306 hp at 5800 min-1, the highest torque - 400 Nm.

And for top-performance xDrive 50i is designed V-shaped 32-valve "eight» Twin Turbo 4.4 liter working volume - is the same, which was a new sedan 7-series (type F01). Like the "Six", with direct fuel injection and the 2nd turbo. However, the design unique: exhaust manifolds, turbochargers and catalytic converters are not installed on the sides of the cylinder (as usual), and the top - in its collapse. A inlets derived from cylinder heads to the side - inside out. Major advantages: first, the outlet channels (made of ceramic) would have an extremely short. The exhaust gases do not have time to cool off and fed to the turbine hot, less energy loss. Second, the discharge pipes can give the correct configuration for the collapse - so that the exhaust pulses do not overlap in the reservoirs at each other and do not interfere with filling the cylinders with fresh air-fuel mixture.

As a result, V8 delivers up to 408 hp 5500 min-1, the highest torque - 600 Nm between 1750-4500 rpm. Monster traction - quite a match for the colossal "sports business executives." Plus a 24-valve six-cylinder turbodiesel: in double supercharged (system BorgWarner) the maximum power - 286 HP at 4400 min-1. The maximum torque - 580 Nm peerless unit. In accordance with the company's strategy of Efficient Dynamics engine is fitted with the "start-stop", which suppresses them at each pause in work and in urban mode of saving a few percent of the fuel. All versions BMW X6 comes with 6-speed hydromechanical "automatic", which allows positive control - with shift paddles. And any "arms."

Engine thrust is transmitted through the transmission Xdrive: an electronically multiple-plate clutch automatically connects the front axle - on traffic conditions. And since there is no center differential, the connection may be only short pulses - or hurt the car's handling in bends. According to the press release, as usual on the front axle goes up to 40% of torque. And with hard block (clutch fully squeezed) sometimes - depending on the adhesion between wheels and the tread - and 100%. Range, however. If Xdrive - proven technology, the system DPC (Dynamic Performance Control - dynamic thrust vector control) is proposed for the first time Bavarian automakers. At the rear axle "X" of the 6th working "active" differential ZF Vector-Drive: the device with the planetary series and multi-disc clutches. Much the same thing for years Mitsubishi applies the highly dynamic Lancer Evo (called AYC), but in a different design concept. Operates as it should.

Under the control electronics difer DPC throws torque from the left rear wheel on the right - and vice versa. As appropriate, thus strongly regulated behavior of the car - its "yaw" on a curved path. So, at the entrance to turn draft redistributed, first, mainly in favor of the 2nd axis. Second, the outer (with respect to the rotation) Rear wheel: understeer is suppressed, and the car zarulivaet willing to bend. And off the corner - the reverse action; massive "sports business executive" is managed as a compact "hot" cars.

Suspension "cyclically" double wishbone and coil springs. Cinematically perfect design - like a modern "X" 5 and the new "Seven" - helps the ride and excellent handling. And for a fee, "all-terrain" compartment package set AdaptiveDrive - with "active" transverse stabilizers and dampers adjustable stiffness. 255/50R tires mounted on 19-inch wheels, so that the "X" 6th real ground clearance - 212 mm. Steering rack (if you will - a remarkable mechanism AFS with variable gear ratio), "bagel" makes 3.2 turns from lock to lock. X6 is equipped with powerful brakes with ventilated discs with a diameter 365 mm (front) and 345 (rear) - for "junior" versions. While xDrive 50i equipped 385-millimeter rotors, dynamic mass somehow be stopped.

Length BMW X6 - 4877 mm, width - 1983, height - 1690 wheelbase - 2933 mm gauge - 1644/1706. Dimensional car. And massive: Wet weight xDrive 35i - from 2145 kg (with "weight distribution" of the axes around 49.5 / 50.5%). While xDrive 50i has been dragging on 2265 kg (and the "weight distribution" worse - 51.9 / 48.1%), mean and control ... When fully seated in places of luggage capacity - 570 liters, and with the rear seats folded loading space increases up to 1450 liters. Not too much for the "sports business executive" of this caliber.

Aerodynamics is mediocre: the coefficient of air resistance in xDrive 35i - 0,34 (in xDrive 50i is even worse). When the frontal area of ??2.82 m2 aerodynamic factor equals 0.96 (a not very streamlined VW Golf - 0,69). So his speed capabilities pleasant surprise: from zero to 100 km / h xDrive 35i can accelerate for some 6.7 seconds. Advertised maximum speed - 240 km / h and average fuel consumption (EU) - is less than 11 liters per 100 kilometers.

xDrive 50i with a powerful "eight" picking up "hundreds" of 5.4 seconds. - A little worse than the Cayenne Turbo. But gasoline consumes an average of 16% - just ... 12.5 liters per 100 kilometers. However, there is xDrive 35d with 286-horsepower turbo-diesel, which burns an average of some 8.3 liters of heavy fuel per 100 kilometers. Given that up to 100 km / h can accelerate faster than 7 seconds.: If you are not allergic to a specific exhaust ...
