BMW new A1 rival revealed
The new 1-Series has developed a split personality, Auto Express has learned. Alongside a family of rear-wheel-drive, sports-biased machines,[url=http://duveticaouterwear.webmium.com/][b]Duvetica Down Jackets For Women sale online store[/b][/url], BMW will offer three more practical cars with either front or four-wheel drive.
This will allow the firm to produce a more versatile model to rival the Audi A1,[url=http://kevindurantshoesforsalecheap.blogspot.com/][b]kevin durant shoes for sale[/b][/url], and our pictures reveal how it could look. The launch of the new 1-Series will start later this year, with traditional rear-wheel-drive cars in three and five-door guise. This layout will still be used in the Coupé and Convertible, due in 2012.
After that, BMW will introduce its trio of more spacious front-wheel-drive models. All will be based on the new UKL1 platform developed for the next-generation MINI, with the first a people mover to rival the Mercedes B-Class.
Due in 2013, it could be badged 1-Series GT. The high-riding car will offer much more space than regular models in a bid to appeal to families. What's more,[url=http://rogerviviershoesoutlets.blogspot.com/][b]Roger vivier shoes outlet[/b][/url], our sources say the firm is planning a small SUV that will sit under the X1. This will use the next MINI Countryman platform, and come in both front and four-wheel-drive variants.
All of these new models will be powered by a range of next-generation petrol and diesel engines. This includes a 1.5-litre three-cylinder unit capable of producing around 150bhp, while emitting less than 100g/km of CO2.
If the real car looks anything like this, then I prefer it to the styling of the A1, while using the MINI chassis as a basis should ensure that the FWD cars handle well.
Having owned 3 RWD BMWs, I know how embarrassingly useless they are when it snows. Of course,[url=http://duveticaouterwear.webmium.com/][b]Discount Duvetica Down Jackets For Women Silver sale online store[/b][/url], someone will now come along and tell me I'm driving it wrong and they never have a problem. Call me old-fashioned, but when I go for a drive,[url=http://parajumpersjacketonline.webmium.com/][b]Parajumpers jackets sale[/b][/url], I prefer to reach my intended destination without trying to show the world how big my cojones are.
Good move BMW.
As a BMW 1series driver (a 120Dse Convertible ) I agree that its trechorous in snow and ice, disagree about the wet, keep the stability control on - stop pretending to be a "good" driver and keep all the electronic gubbins ON. The rest of the time its a good ride, great handling and much fun to drive (I only wish it was as reliable as a Ford or Vauxhall) - the steering being pure without all that twisting and pulling you get with FWD (I keep a 10yr old Zafira with all season tyres for when I want to shop or drive on icy roads)
as there are a few snide remarks about cars being overpriced - yes - you do pay for the badge,[url=http://duveticaouterwear.webmium.com/]http://duveticaouterwear.webmium.com/[/b][/url], but then again I'd rather shop in M and aspire to Harrods (Darling;) and wouldn't be seen dead in Lidls.
as I do drive two cars regularly its really amazing how other people change when they see a BMW - I often slow down or let drivers in,nearly always get a wave or a thanks in the Vauxhall, nearly never in the BMW - also notice others are more agressive towards me - frankly my dear, I don't give a damn - it says more . about you and your chip on your shoulder than me and my driving.
I may even turn on my front fog lights to live up to the image ,[url=http://woolrichoutletaustralia.halod.com/][b]Woolrich Outlet Australia[/b][/url];-)
Lordy, there's only room for one ugly duckling on British roads and the Scirroco is it. This looks nothing like a Scirroco thank the Lord, but it is a bit 'me too'. There is a lot of Astra in the profile,[url=http://duveticaaustraliaoutlet.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets aliaoutlet outlet shop duvetica down jackets sale online 2014[/b][/url], which isn't a bad thing I suppose as the Astra is quite an attractive vehicle.
It is also interesting to hear from BMW owners that they are experiencing reliability issues with their cars,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutlet.webmium.com/][b]discount Giuseppe Zanotti outlet[/b][/url]. BMW are going to have to address their reliability issues if they are hitting this sector or they'll face the danger of damaging their reputation across the entire range,[url=http://duveticaitaliaoutlet.webmium.com/][b]duvetica jackets usa[/b][/url].
Dear God you AutoExpressers don't half talk some crap. BMWs haven't been even remotely hairy in the wet since they abandoned the old semi-trailing-arm IRS (last seen on the E36 Compact). I actually rather miss that,[url=http://duveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]Discount Duvetica Down Jackets For Women[/b][/url], my E30 Touring was a hoot to drive on a wet B-road, light weight, moderate power, rear drive, no nannies, such an easy car to slide. The modern Z-axle and multilink-equipped BMWs have been very secure in all conditions except snow, and that can be sorted by the fitment of winter tyres. It doesn't matter if you're RWD, FWD, AWD, 4WD, your car will be crap in the snow on summer tyres. Those of you who've never had an E39 5-series should go and get one while they're still cheap,[url=http://duveticaaustraliaoutlet.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets aliaoutlet outlet shop[/b][/url], because prices for good ones are beginning to climb. You'd be astonished how hard you can drive them, even in the wet, before they begin to let go. then you've got the electronic nanny to stop you getting in too much trouble, unless you choose to switch it off.
As for this new '0-series'? It's an utter abomination and further proof (on top of the woeful new 5-series) that what was once my favourite brand has totally lost the plot. I feel like turning up to the launch at my local dealership in a £1500 E30 and doing burnouts as long as the tyres will stand it. A FWD car is not a BMW. A BMW is not FWD. A BMW does not have torque steer: it has totally uncorrupted steering. When you accelerate,[url=http://parajumpersjacketonline.webmium.com/][b]Parajumpers jackets outlet[/b][/url], the torque reaction (causing the rear to squat a bit) should give you MORE traction, NOT less.
Also, this will be the first BMW (8-series and Z8 apart) since they discontinued the 2002 and its kin not to be offered with a straight six. whatever next? The 5-series being a FWD barge with a diesel V6? I hope I never live to see the day.
Some of you have obviously never owned or even sat in a BMW! They are without doubt the greatest affordable driving car on the road. Great fun too if you desire it. Sheep don't buy BMWs. Good drivers who appreciate the feel of a good car do. The fact that they're RWD is the reason they're so good. Stick a set of winter tyres on and they'll go anywhere any FWD will go and more. All I can say to you jealous people out there is that you should have tried harder at school and maybe you'd be earning enough to buy a BMW!
The bottom line is that we have had two pretty bad winters in succession and of the many occasions I found myself stopped in a stream of traffic due to a driver having got into a spinning frenzy ahead, that driver was invariably driving a BMW or a Mercedes C Class.
I'm not the first driver of a front wheel drive car WITHOUT WINTER TYRES to have sailed past loads of BMWs spinning impotently in an inch of snow.
This is therefore a welcome move.
Excepting snow and ice,[url=http://parajumpersjacketonline.webmium.com/][b]Parajumpers down jackets[/b][/url], rear wheel drive handles much better than front wheel drive and that's why BMW have such an illustrious record in rally . oh hang on, that's not true either,[url=http://woolrichoutletaustralia.halod.com/][b]Woolrich Jacket online shop[/b][/url], is it?
I live in a village where the only two routes to civilization require the negotiation of 1 in 4 hills. By far the most common vehicles in our village are BMW's and Mercedes of all persuasions, so imagine the mirth which broke out along with the snow the winter before last, when I sailed up one of the aforementioned hills in my crappy old Zafira, deftly avoiding terminally plummeting X5's, 1, 3 and 5 series BMW's and a posy of Mercedes, one of which was an AMG 55CLS, and most of which were wearing winter tyres, and yet there was little old me still wearing his summer pumps.
The hilarity continued on the journey home from my Arctic expedition to Asda when, following a rather smart and very black BMW Mini Cooper back down the hill into the village, I was somewhat gobsmacked to witness it's well healed lady driver try to negotiate a 90 degree steep downhill bend at about 50mph. Luckily for her a community spirited and slightly amused 150 year old Oak tree caught her before she could do too much damage to the environment. XD相关的主题文章:
