lasted six months, covering 200 cities nationwide, more than 16,000 people involved in …… 2019 BMW 3 last action in Hulun Buir yakeshi came to a close.
But for the automotive media, despite an invitation on behalf of the event is “BMW 3 action,” but it is in fact involved in the experience of the annual snow and ice season.
In the calibration test items listed in the front of the car, including conventional “three high” test, that plateau, heat and cold. In the last ten years, many OEMs to launch media projects in the winter alpine experience will be. On the one hand, in order to prove the reliability of the product; on the other hand, it is hoped that through the driving snow, to convey the pleasure and security concept.
It is undeniable that many manufacturers will do to experience snow and ice in the winter, but BMW is definitely one of the most fun.
2019 BMW 3 action claims to be the largest ever term, while it is also involved in the project ingenuity, divided into teams and individuals experience driving in two parts. More importantly, experience models for the BMW just launched in 2019, the new 3 Series, including the G20 and G28 standard wheelbase long wheelbase and rear-wheel drive, four-wheel drive multiple versions.
If the driver is still the biggest selling point of the new 3 Series, then snow and ice road experience basically become the biggest test of individual driving quality.
So, you want to have fun, you must first master the skills.
The new 3 Series BMW 3-led action
When it comes to BMW 3 action, have to admire BMW’s ability to execute. The new 3 Series in late June 2019 to market, after more than a month, the race to recruit 2019 BMW 3 action will be launched in the country.
On the surface, BMW 3 action is more like the new product for the purpose of promotion, but in fact it is the world’s largest single car driving challenge. At the same time, “BMW 3 action” is also in the field of carOne of the few models to demonstrate power, control, security equipment and technology-based experience activities.

as a Bimmer, especially ages 3 Series owners to participate in BMW 3 action must be smiling, heart full of state. Because nothing is better than a BMW 3 action show models, brand appeal fix. Clearly, action is 3 3 Series Bimmer honor.
2019 BMW 3 action because the addition of the new 3 Series becomes more meaningful, and more attraction. This is the seventh-generation 3 Series, codenamed change to G2X series. Corresponding to different body styles, namely: G20, standard wheelbase sedan, wheelbase length of 2851mm; G28, long wheelbase sedan, wheelbase length of 2961mm; and G21, wagon, wheelbase length 2851mm.
In the current launch of three new 3 Series models, G20 and G28 have been imported into the BBA is now produced, and and comparing the previous generation F3X cars, no generation system 3 to the length of the wheelbase difference with different body accessories. Thus, regardless of the standard or the long axis of the shaft, which is designed in the form of a D-pillar of the vehicle body are the same, the only difference being the length of the tail and the rear door.
According to the experience of different projects, BMW 3 action for the snow and ice driving while preparing the standard axis and long axis of the two models. Standard with rear-wheel drive axle, the body is more flexible and suitable for short-track drift. The long axis with rear-wheel drive, the greater the magnitude of body sway, given more conducive to drift round. Presumably to reflect the handling and stability of the final short-track rally race car but chose the xDrive four-wheel drive version.
to explain aspects of the product, so that participants quickly understand the new 3 Series
to a specific part of the test drive models, the current BMW 3 action the models we offer there 320Li M sports suits, 325i M sports suits and 325Li xDrive M sports package. Group B where I was assigned at the time of the main practice modelsIs 325i M sports suits, i.e. the standard wheelbase drive version.
powertrain system
is updated 325i, be equipped with a code for B48B20B 2.0 liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine. Double Vanos portion technique using variable valve timing, Valetronic variable valve lift, a high-pressure injection cylinder 350bar, cylinder head and other new integrated design. In terms of power, this “power in” a 2.0T maximum power of 135kW (184Ps), maximum torque of 300Nm, with an eight-speed automatic transmission ZF.
instructors to teach using body language skills
this 2.0T can erupt from 1350rpm maximum torque, so the snow and ice on the road, it is easy to take advantage of low twist “dance sliding” ……
However, in order to increase the tracking capability of the vehicle, BMW test drive cars are all switched to Michelin 3 Chi ice studded tires, and tire size is consistent with the original, still to 225/45 R18. Motivated, tires, and the rest is found in the fun.
a rear-wheel drive sedan can create fun
snow and ice driving experience is actually a full day, morning is familiar with the vehicle and skills training, and in the afternoon there are three events – the persistent wrangling (short-track rally), control frozen (fixed circular drift) and snow chase (long track laps). In fact part of the emergence of competition, but also created some tense atmosphere for the entire driving experience activities.
The so-called ice road test drive, in theory, the essentials is actually very simple, especially for a body center of gravity 50:50, but also in terms of rear-wheel drive cars, drift is undoubtedly the most fun gesture .
that how can drift up to it? It is nothing more than body weight transfer to achieve pendulum effect, so that with the throttle, high-torque rear sliding thrown up, fight anti-direction correction trajectory shifted from normal driving posture to posture drift in one go.

DTC traction control Close
Therefore, skills practice session, we used to turn off the traction control DTC lift the shackles of the electronic part of the system, and then the rear Sport Plus mode allows more flexible with sex. The maximum power of the 325i M Sport package, although only 184Ps, but 300Nm of torque reserve still not be underestimated, in particular, can break out in less than 1500rpm, so I want to drift, do not need to use the throttle to extract power.
Despite the snow and ice experience is my first contact with the new G20, the so-called new 3 Series before heard the words of comfort to move closer, but the actual driving experience point of view, as the mainstay of BMW cars, the 3 Series should have fun and precision have been retained.
Anti timely hit when thrown up in the rear direction, the front steering correction will keep traveling trajectory studded tires and inertia, the key point is that this time the throttle response, directly determine the depth of the rear foot It follows degrees. Fortunately, 325i throttle very agile, able to faithfully feedback at the foot of intent.
Although the body of the pendulum exercises are basic subjects, but also laying the foundation for the drift and short-track rally given circle. Because all of the projects will involve driving skills to drift, as we said earlier, snow and ice driving experience will generally meet the driving experience and safety training both intent, so master the snow driving skills, mastered the control of body posture for everyday unexpected situations are of great help.
ultimate model: DSC Off, to rid itself of the shackles
In a given circle drift practice, we use the DSC Off mode, which is completely closed body dynamic stabilization system, completely remove all bundle electronic devices. Just need a little distance after the establishment of vehicle speed, throttle slightly larger, then the anti-fight direction, 3 Series can slip forward.
Of course, for a given circle drift that is always simpler than experience, which involves controlling the direction of the angle, throttle opening and the grasp of body posture, so the process is a fixed circular drift practice makes perfect.
The BMW 3 action of the most exciting experience partial or afternoon long track laps, more than a kilometer long ice track full scale in proportion Italy Monza Race Track, which means that many long straights, but also the speed soon, for control of the vehicle, who technologies and comprehensive response is a test. And part of the race, on lap chance per person.
miniature Monza race car track is 325LixDrive M sports suits, four-wheel drive can provide a more stable posture to the brush ring can buy more time. In the part of the media competition, the best score of about 1 minute about 06, and my grades are inferior to the more than 2 seconds.
In recent years fewer participate in snow test drive, so the BMW 3 action for me, more like a timeless melted experience. Results naturally not the most important thing, the important thing in the ……
timing drift round the accelerator is very important
minus 30 degrees finale
BMW 3 action in our participation in those days, the temperature of the test site Hulun Buir Yakeshi as low as minus 30 degrees, although cold, however, each participant can see the smile on his face, we drove the new 3 Series playing drift, the heart is fiery state.
In fact, the entire activities constitute BMW 3 action finale, the drive is only part of the other part of it is the test team with the “Wolf White Deer” outdoor activities. From the point of view scheduled activities, more like a grand Party Bimmer’s. “Wolf White Deer” including shelters, curling, snowballs and snow scooter features four winter sports, activities, links are still taught a wealth of outdoor survival experience.
As the new 3 Series, like, this car also has a strong market appeal and vitality, since June 2019 the market, after six months, its sales to December has reached more than 10,000 units per month, became the dark horse market segments. Regardless of space, design or materials, science and technology, the new 3 SeriesAre compared to the previous generation has improved so much.
More importantly, in driving level, handling the new 3 Series is more delicate expression, which is the product of its unique appeal lies.
as a mainstay of successful BMW 3 Series also makes fans pay more attention to the economy, to create activities for the Bimmer not only BMW 3 action, as well as the 3 Series carnival. As a non-BMW owners, sometimes really envy this brand atmosphere.
So, life is not only a FR, probably also need a 3 Series. [END]
