BMW factory in February 2019 published code-named F97, F98 of the X3 M and X4 M cars, which is positioned as orthodox M Car, X3 and X4 is the first time the new cars performance flagship model, its in the market’s most direct rival is the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S 4Matic + Coupeacute ;, it will also take on a book comparing the two in Benpian test drive.
X4 US-based hatchback a more perverse, to show the true nature of this cell to send performance
from the test drive X4 M Competition point of view, compared to its general appearance the cars X4 or X4 M40i, has interpreted more wild traits. Paul Jufan front bumper large central angle 6 and intake air dam around the intake port is designed to meet the specifications of the cooling system of the track, straight to the gate of double bar grille design, the top having a more exclusive models plate X4 M . And M Car exclusive exterior mirrors, resembles an aerodynamic considerations for the design extends at an acute angle. Aerodynamic side skirts downward side of the car, and the rectangular-like body colored flared wheel arches, which further demonstrates muscular with visual tension.
X4 M Competition covered the front bumper large central holding angle 6 and the intake air dam around the intake port, it is to meet the specifications of the cooling system circuit design, grille straight gate to dual strip design.
X4 M Competition by standard black appearance package, thus grille black paint, the top having a more exclusive models X4 M nameplate.
The kit also includes a black appearance exclusive mirror M, side moldings gills.
In addition, X4 M cars below the rear, the four bilateral switch, a diameter of 100mm circular configuration of the tail pipe, made with a multi-level perspectiveAfter the type of security bars, in the highlight its “Reviving” strength. However, in the test drive X4 M Competition, because of its high gloss black kit further mounted, the front of the frame by the kidney-shaped chrome X4 M in general, set to black paint, black high side of the car be introduced gloss gills trim, also the rear end of ducklings with black, black tail pipe configuration, the first step of the upgrade to the bead 21 inches group M Exclusive Jet black color aluminum ring, the dynamic characteristics of mention. As a general comparison of models Edition X4 M, M is equipped with 20-inch section aluminum ring and an outer frame grille mining chrome trim.
In addition, X4 M Competition duckling comprising black tail, vehicle plate, the tail pipe are collected unique set black kit. Aluminum ring group is the first step of a 21-inch M Jet Black color exclusive aluminum ring, longitudinal dimensions are 255/40 R21,265 / 40 R21, compared with tires Continental SportContact 6.
section body size, X4 M cars vehicle length to 4,758mm, 1,927mm vehicle width, the vehicle height 1,618mm, wheelbase maintain 2,864mm, compared 4,733×1,918×1,618mm X4 M40i models, which extends vehicle length 25mm, width of the vehicle is reduced 9mm, the vehicle height is the same. The overall appearance, X4 M Competition in X4 sporty hatchback with the existing design basis, the shape compared to X4 M40i more detailed identification of the body, with a test drive of Toronto Red bright red, really make a lot of passers-by stopped to look at two.
manage to create an atmosphere of blood, but the lack of rich driver assistance system
went into the X4 M Competition interior, roughly the same layout and X4 cars, but the details of the vehicle or have a dedicated blood lay out. In the homeCup holder front fascia, side sill trim, etc., it is generally each version and has different models Competition plaque for identification.
In the cup holder front fascia, side sill trim, etc., X4 M Competition models have unique plaque for identification.
M under the multifunction steering wheel leather upper, red M1 and M2 having two kinds of customized drive mode custom-defined memory keys, further comprising a carbon fiber trim, under condition M heads-up display, and a coating of excellent the Individual Merino leather M sports seats dedicated dual front, let X4 M Competition interior atmosphere even more than the general X4 models. M Car-wire dedicated electronic gearshift lever, the steering gear lever with the periphery of the engine, the suspension, which also differs from the general model.
with the rest of the luxury part, there are included Harman / Kardon stereo, cell phone wireless charging, panoramic sunroof, a wireless Apple CarPlay, etc., are so full of fighting spirit X4 M Competition in the car apart, but also to maintain a certain a sense of comfort and technology.
X4 M Competition section above M leather multifunction steering wheel, has two kinds of red M1 and M2 drive mode customized custom-defined key memory . M Exclusive dual front car seat provides a comfortable but without losing toughness lateral, supporting shoulders, a light emitting headrest M word at its extraordinary show more identity.
X4 M Competition wireless standard Apple CarPlay, mobile wireless charging.
It is worth mentioning that, although X4 M Competition M Car account of their status, so the 12.3-inch digital meter, 10.25-inch touch screen, are all exclusive use M interface models, but earlier published, So I did not like the general formula X4 2020 cars put iDrive 7.0 system, still remains in the still-generation iDrive 6.0, on the surface of the rival Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S 4Matic + Coupeacute; compared to the 10.25-inch MBUX equipped with dual interface, its technology being somewhat inferior.
However, the actual use, the author found that M unique interface model with the iDrive 6.0, which will find operating logic clear that whenever the adjustment drive mode, power, shock absorbers and other details, can be controlled through the keys, knobs, touch adjustment mechanism easily in a few steps.
space portion, X4 M Competition X4 substituting this level is maintained cars, the trunk volume is 525 liters, after pouring to be 1,430 liter of the spectrum, can be regarded to some extent, taking into account the space requirements modeling and family buyers. In the author height 178 cm ride in the back seat knee room about two fists, head space, compared with 3 refers, in fact, no different from the general X4 models, panoramic sunroof also to some extent reduce the ride of pressure, the back seat also provides seat back adjustment (adjustment of the seat back but is more standing upright); but if there is greater demand for space, I believe X3 M will be a better choice. M Exclusive dual front car seat provides a comfortable but without losing toughness lateral, supporting shoulders, a light emitting headrest M word at its extraordinary show more identity.
space portion, X4 M Competition X4 substituting this level is maintained cars, the trunk volume is 525 liters, after pouring to be 1,430 liter of the spectrum, there are hidden under the trunk floor compartment space.
to 178 cm tall and I ride in the back seat knee room about two fists, head space, compared with 3 refers, in fact, no different from the general X4 models.
FurtherDomestic X4 M cars just automatic parking assist, a 360-degree view and other technology, as well as the standard AEB active collision avoidance assist, blind spot detection, lane departure warning. General X4 wisdom cars have standard driver assistance package, the X4 M garnered mounted on cars, to be carried out separately matching, which contains the active ACC headway cruise control system, active lane keeping assist, traffic congestion assistance system , side collision avoidance assistance, the steering assist dodge the like.
510 horsepower urging, choking spicy nature difficult to conceal
power spread X4 M Competition data, which code S58 using the new 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder gasoline M TwinPower Turbo twin-turbo engine, and the motion of the M Steptronic 8-speed manual gearbox, M xDrive with four-wheel drive system. Competition models can be transferred to the maximum output horsepower at 5,950 510 7,300, 600N.m maximum torque is output at 2,600 rpm to 5,950, compared to the 480 maximum horsepower X4 M lift 30 of the spectrum.
of the preceding mentioned, since the output is generally X4 M version 480, 510 if not dazzling Competition model, comparing the two-phase under high degree X4 M Competition named data in this form level buyers accustomed to “top attack” situation.
It has also emphasized the original new generation engine engineering methods for producing 3D printing cylinder attendance, and use lightweight crankshaft, and the use of forged pistons Forging link, in addition to higher cylinder pressure may correspond to the closed crankcase. The turbocharger was the twin turbo single vortex configuration, as well as its electrically controlled relief valve, indirect intercooler, pressures up to 350 bar in a high pressure fuel system. Still accelerate to 100 km per hour performance, X4 M Competition shortened to 4.1Seconds, compared X4 M 4.2 seconds faster top speed electronically limited mining at 250 kilometers per hour.
Further which M xDrive four adjustable sports car drive system, the drive force can be allocated according to traffic before and after the elastic shaft. Active M differential, the torque distribution 0-100 percentage positive locking by means of the left and right rear differential. M-specific chassis was the chassis, the M Coupe comes standard with electronic suspension system, front and rear wheel independent control system with the original emphasis on road conditions and driving conditions, rapidly changing electronic damping strength.
drive mode section, different from BMW cars usually Eco Pro, Comfort and other optional de facto pattern. X4 M Competition this new generation M Car, but rather the “engine power”, “shock”, “Shift” in three parts can be directly set independently, “engine power” can be divided into Efficient / Sport / Sport + three kinds Dan, “shock” and “shift” are divided into the Comfort / Sport / Sport +, there is a tracking system 4WD, 4WD Sport and lower limit two kinds. Also available through M1, M2 two custom-defined key, memory driving mode setting to facilitate the rapid switch to the road between.
The actual X4 M Competition open road, the author is first set at Comfort suspension mode, which can be found in sense compared bounce “little brother “X4 M40i more obvious, general urban traffic and can not be said of the comfort, can even be said X4 M Competition shock absorbers set to comfort, in fact, feedback sense equivalent to Sport mode after the general X4 optional electronic suspension.
However, due to its positioning Ultimate performance, I believe that this be part of the non-Sin war, because once accelerated slightly as the vehicle speed, changing lanes or when cornering, it will feel chassis bearing strength and flexibility, unlike the conventional high RV chassis, actually close the performance Cannon Like sound, or a two-door coupe, as if to break through the physical limits, if not on the track, Comfort suspension has been quite enough. But to open it daily load wife and children, I think the best test still have to bring the family, see if you can accept such a hardcore suspension settings …. If the shock set in Sport +, I tell the truth, I can only say “really hard”, unless recommended on the track, Comfort else has been able to meet.
while the original X4 general cars on the chassis, the steering already provide very good performance, etc., is more on a previously tried X4 M40i storey, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine power output up to 360 of the (New Year style M40i has been raised to 387), in fact, have been enough to make the blood of many souls got his wish.
However, X4 M Competition body is to be born with severe fanatics, so there are so insolent personality and performance, perhaps in order to provide potential buyers a fatal attraction. In terms of spiciness M40i may be considered skinned peppers, chili peppers but X4 M Competion is level. Whether 6-cylinder engine 510 horsepower acceleration like a flash of light, or to bring the exhaust noise sound through blasting with two electrically controlled exhaust valve, plus sufficient braking performance composite brake force M If directly X4 M Competition on the track, will surely cause some pressure on many high-performance sports car.
X4 M Competition M of motion of an exhaust system having two more electrically controlled exhaust valves, exhaust noise to provide more vigorous.
Let there author quite satisfactory transmission performance, which has 8-speed gearbox, whether in the D range or the S position, the strength may be adjusted through the key rod side gear, the gear mode on the D The reaction is quite positive downshift, SFull speed is adjusted so that the driver’s gear shift manual rhythm quite rapid, with a further head-up display condition master M and the speed change gear.
generally limited to road conditions, difficult to explore the limits I, X4 M Competition M5 can not be adjusted to as rear-wheel drive 2WD mode pure However, if adjusted for the 4WD Sport, after its rear also has a similar performance to drive around the corner of the rear, under normal DSC mode it can be said to be the heart of improper changing, dynamic, smooth, make it difficult to imagine driving a SUV. BMW emphasis on maintaining the steering feel of hand set, in particular, the Sport + M Car steering even more so, but under intense exercise drive will find this setting, quite suitable for the driver to make minor steering amplitude adjustment, may be said to be full with driving pleasure .
representing a portion of the acceleration, as the engine transferred Sport + mode, coupled with the manually shifted transmission, than to go to pull stall 6,000 revolutions beat X4 M Competition, and usually accompanied by a sense of fun posted back, combined with a 6-cylinder musical noise to interleave the pleasant music performance. Acceleration measured in a closed space, still accelerate to 100 km per hour to 4.28 seconds, 4.1 seconds with the original publication of magnitude.
tolerant and multi-point driving comfort technology, choking spicy chili peppers to perfection
in conclusion, X4 M Competition in athletics of 510 horsepower, coupled with the performance of the chassis set-up, performance is indeed a school sport utility masterpiece. Even in the roll restraining amplitude, etc. no time M2 and other sports well, but recreational products, has been really impressive, such as chili peppers their spicy this grid-like choke, I believe many qualities still attract potential buyers.
with the rival Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S 4Matic + Coupeacute; comparing, X4M Competition although maximum power output is the same 510, but the maximum torque is somewhat less than 700N.m GLC 63 S, static acceleration to 100 km per hour 4.1 seconds results, compared to 3.8 seconds is also slightly GLC 63 S slow.
Accordingly, X4 M Competition factor plus performance data with other driving assistance, X4 M Competition not be able to account for cheap. If the suspension allows hardcore electronic multi-point compatible with daily driving comfort, or strengthen in line with rivals for the performance, on the plus ACC, lane keeping assist the wisdom of driving standard, I believe that would be perfection.
