If 300,000 to buy a sports car handling good, you will choose a higher power BMW 1 Series (hatchback) 3 Series is still more room for it? This might choose a car for people who is a question worth considering.
2019, listed a whole new generation of BMW 3 Series (G20 / G28) is regarded as a big domestic event rim, after all, the same level as the benchmark for sports, it’s every generation is quite remarkable. People look over the handling of the new generation does not succeed, after all, this generation of 3 Series more compromise to comfort and configurations, although still in control of DNA.
In this era is not pure, it’s hard to find the original as E46, E90 as the BMW 3 Series and harder to find someone like STI, GTR hallmark of this JDM , Mitsubishi EVO, it is already sealed in people’s memories.
Of course, we have to admit that BMW is still a good at creating sports car manufacturers, car sales are not good in the background, still retains the BMW 1-series hatchback present in the family genealogy, after all, the 1 Series hatchback consumers nowadays do not have more emphasis on high-profile and large rear space, there is no optimal cost-effective, even if there has been a part of fans to follow, but can not escape the wave of the times ahead.
Today we’ll talk about past lives BMW 1 Series this life
What? Qiazhiyisuan BMW 1 Series since 2004, and today it has experienced two generations, what is history at all? That can only say that you look at the history of cars only from the surface to see TooSimple.
Past BMW 1 Series
Back in 1993, when Germany Three Musketeers brand compact wheelbase and regain control of peers, whereas when BMW select 3 Series models with research and development, and to create a model of a product called 3 Series Compact, and have achieved good sales, and this seems only half-ass hatchback design achievements of the future BMW 1 Series the important elements of the design.
E46ComAfter pact
tasted the sweetness Compact models, in the early 2000s BMW 3 Series models the change to E46, also seized the opportunity E46Compact.
However, due to the highly controversial headlight design, resulting in dismal sales, change is imperative, even under such circumstances, BMW still has not given up the compact class segment, the design guru Chris middot; classes under delicate brush strokes Ge, with the BMW 3 Series E46 platform to build a new hatchback compact hatchback BMW car, it is the first generation of the 1 Series.
E871-based
compared to the Audi A3, Mercedes class A, using 1-based rear-drive layout, and the counterweight 50:50 it has better handling in its class, while the launch of five (E87), 3 Men Hatchback (E81), 2 Men Coupe (E82) and convertible Cabrio (E88) is also to meet the different consumer groups and, therefore, Germany became the troika highest sales at the same level models.
After years of warm-up, in 2010, BMW introduced a high-performance sports car with E82Coupe benchmark development, but also was the most expensive M-power series models -1M, very fun to drive a performance car, but was still limited sale.
When it comes to this car, without mentioning that Taiwan N54B30TO carry its body straight six engine.
Application of the BMW M3, Double-VANOS DOHC variable valve timing system-specific technology, 10.2: 1 compression ratio, forged pistons, crankshaft and connecting rod so that the engine may burst 340Ps the maximum power and maximum torque of 450Nm, with a manual transmission on 6MT, the official one hundred kilometers acceleration time of 4.9 seconds, while creating at the Nurburgring 8 minutes and 15 seconds faster than the Porsche results are also CaymanS same year.
now go back and look at this 1M, its performance is not worse than it is now some performance cars, but also become the most BMW cars preservation of a car.
BMW 1 Series now
after one year’s time, this time charging technology has entered the era, but also give up the 1 Series E-Class heritage before, becomes quot; Fquot ;.
Although there is no Chris middot; Bangor classic stylus, but Nicholas middot; under Hewitt’s surgeon, the 1 Series has a more lenient body and advanced electronic systems, and the technical aspects of the application of a new power unit and gearbox, and provide a more powerful electronic management systems.
While the body is wide, compared with the previous generation wheelbase lengthened 30mm, but the design still uses the front length (50:50 weight ratio), it is still quite cramped rear.
As power, a second-generation powertrain system is also very rich, such as: N131.6T turbocharger, N202.0T turbocharged, B381.5T turbo, B482.0T N462.0L turbocharger and have appeared on the self-priming model system 1, and inline 6-cylinder version of 3.0T (N55 and B58) also appear in people’s eyes.
BMW 1 Series cars derivative
If a decade ago, you told to do a stage drove BMW, BMW will use the swap of the fore and hind limbs of animals series sets of plans tell you: That’swhywedon’thavefrontwheeldrive.
Times are changing in the change, the development of ideas, the BMW flying into the “fore and hind limbs swap” family reason, BMW was still not too front drive and now specializes in manufacturing recession caused.
In fact, the BMW drove already made plans to do before, in the early 1990s, through the acquisition of Rover Group and to build the Rover 75 to test the water precursor market, but due to the high price and low failure rate does not leading to the final sell at a loss, leaving only the MINI brand.
2-SeriesActiveTourer
20 years of technical precipitation, creating a current 1-series sedan, 2 Department of ActiveTourer (travel) and 2 lines GranTourer (GT), and 1-series sedan has also become China special for models.
in the domestic market, many consumers in choosing cars fun to drive and this option is not on the top of the car, so the market demand is changing, whether it is the introduction of the 1 Series hatchback or, sedan worth mentioning They are quite a few “Lahuayouyi with the water, water inadvertently falling love” means.
Future BMW 1 system
“a second generation is the last generation after the line drive type”, from the market point of view, instead of using more costly precursor rear-wheel drive is rational, but for a fraction of the people who like driving, may be unfriendly, of course, I could just say, after all, MINI handling to a lot of people left a deep impression.
1-based new generation (F40) of the precursor FAAR available information from the current platform module with motorized children and than to UKL advantage, and that Taiwan on-line 6-cylinder engine of the current model will not appear on the new models, while the engine forward, the front becomes shorter and told the people to stop the flooding have any hope a.
and such a change, perhaps a portion of the interior space will increase.
while improving the design of the car there, using the car 3 based generation and highly consistent design style, large screen, liquid crystal instrument, an electronic lever are displayed a sense of technology.
Although BMW introduced after the precursor for some time, but a whole new generation 1-series really become precursors, but how many people do this and pay for it? We do not know, just the face of the Audi A3, S3, RS3 and Mercedes-Benz A, A35L, after A45 complete cars, BMW’s advantage will what is it? Perhaps in the near future, BMW will give us an answer.
we say the election must choose a car of their favorite car, but we really took the limited funds to choosing cars, but we will be faced with various problems.
but how many people do this to pay for it?
