is perhaps the pursuit of comfort and a sense of “side effects”, so many people lamented the “G20 generation 3 Series, is no longer so exercise.” However, because before only 325Li models, so the root cause of a lot of people do not exercise the 3 Series directly thrown pot to the power and wheelbase. So more power, a shorter wheelbase 330i models can save the reputation of the new 3 Series do not exercise it? Today I took four issues came to the track, ready to be beside the 330i soul of a tortured face to face!
The 0-100km / h acceleration time measured our view, 330i official 6.2 seconds Pobai result is clearly too conservative, because no matter how we test, which basically results in less than 6 seconds, 5.7 seconds the fastest results is amazing. To know this power level is sufficient to chasing in everyday driving.
but want to emphasize is that, 330i actual sensory level during acceleration but does not look like one in less than six seconds Pobai models. The advantage of its power output curve, smooth shifting movements are difficult for the driver to feel the emotion engine. If not, see the results on the test instrument, I really feel this is an ordinary family car.
Golden Port Circuit fierce drive a few laps later, I think this issue should be discussed in two ways. First, thanks to the wheelbase of 110mm reduces the relationship, “an inch short inch spirit”, 330i of body experience, especially in the corners will be more flexible, which is certainly better than the long-wheelbase models place. When
plus engineers will rebound damping short axis version of the model before and after compression damping adjustment are greater than the long axis version, the version of the model in the short axis brake the charge transfer time axis is extended, the maximum degree of increasing the mechanical grip of the front wheels. In this way it will naturally rear grip because of changes in axle load decreases, eventually showing a more flexible rear dynamic performance.
horsepower undoubtedly enhance vehicle engineer sporty easiest to start with, but unfortunately, horsepower is not the decisive factor in creating a sense of movement, even if 330i’s 258 power enough to make it in the fierce drive when have faster acceleration and speed out of the corners, but in the sense of movement level, I do not think this car can be prompted me to release more adrenaline than driving 325Li.
To understand the nature of the problem, but also from the previous generation 3 Series, codenamed F30 and F35 to begin with. Because if you opened the previous generation 3 Series, you’ll find the major and minor version of the model to open up and feel more obvious difference, that is, long wheelbase used to “home users”, short wheelbase for “performance enthusiasts” , and also handled without any problems.
to be the body of the latest 3 Series G20 / G28, things changed. As this generation 3 Series dramatically improves the texture of driving, comfort and sense of quality, short wheelbase want to do back to the simple rustic mechanical sense, but is unlikely thing: the situation in science, obviously do better and will spend the extra costs make these texture “degraded”, how can one not reality.
texture of luxury travel, will inevitably affect the car a sense, the result is this car and the ground had more sense of alienation. Although this sense of estrangement can guarantee the driver will not be a nuisance too much complicated information, but for intense driving a shooting, the driver reduce the amount of information acquired will directly affect the driver’s sense of participation , so the director level, there will be judging this car is not moving.
Furthermore, in order to enhance the comfort of a soft vehicle suspension hardness adjustment, but also makes the new system, whether the major axis or the minor axis 3, even when cornering pressure zigzag on the shoulder of the road, it still does not produce too much frightening shock. As we are more concerned about the defense roll bars, still there is no standard on 330i models, while not providing matching service. The use of pointer readings liquid crystal instrument display, because the animation is too vague, so it is hard to quickly obtain a valid reading when intense driving. Fortunately, the response speed of its paddlesVery sharp, it can be considered to make up for the problem tachometer difficult to identify.
If a comparison standard shaft 325i Yao nights and standard shaft 330i Yao night, then it spend $ 50,000 can you bring about more than 1 second 0-100km / h to enhance acceleration, and heads-up display, tachograph, luxury wireless charging function such configuration. But more than a second acceleration capability with 5 million dollars to change the words, I can not say, can not say cheap.
If it is available and 325Li set of contrast M Yao night, then the difference between the instantaneous axes on the major axis 325Li 330i on the left of 16,000 yuan. Then consider the advantages 330i configuration and power, and that it spent 16,000 yuan is simply excellent value for money. Of course, if you have rigid requirements of rear legroom then the other said.
test drive can obviously find the track through the day, even if it is the new 3 Series marked axis version is also still a comfortable sexual orientation. But this can be defined as the BMW was losing it? I think not! This only shows that the BMW more attention to the voice of the vast majority of users. Because both the E90 or F30 era, the BBA 3 Series cars are the most moving, but the consumer can always tucao 3 Series is not luxurious.
Therefore, in the era of G20, 3 Series reborn go luxury line, all these are in fact caused by market factors. Moreover, the new 3 Series Despite the loss of the original hardcore manipulation of feelings, but more than 5 seconds Pobai results, never brake thermal recession and the rear of the gearbox and the same level of the best tune willing to move around on the track, also from the heritage of the old models down. With the exception of the set of soft suspension, it’s discounted sports flavor, it can be in the country, which ordinary 3-series owners will actually spend less hard core handling it?
