First Encounter with BMW's Revamped Gran Turismo Trio If you're one of those who love to travel, you can't help but appreciate the exceptional enjoyment that these vehicles provide on the road - be it short, medium, long or even ultra-long trips. Despite the fact that many do not like it for its wayward design, the "five" Gran Turismo is undoubtedly one of the most comfortable cars on the planet and in this respect is very close to the Bavarians' Series 7. On the other hand, its younger cousin in the face of the Gran Turismo trio has been favored by most fans of the brand since its introduction, as the body line is much closer to what we are used to, which can…

A few years ago, everything was better - cars became lighter and more pleasant to drive. And, of course, these faded memory models were more economical. Whether all this is true and where the progress actually is, a comparison between representatives of different generations of the three brands will clarify. In the first part of the series, ams.bg will present you with a comparison between the BMW 2002 tii and 118i. When you get behind the wheel of a 2002 BMW, your eyes begin a slightly bewildered dance around the entire car. Instead of empty space, the view through the front or rear window meets fender fins or a trunk lid. Frameless side windows, thin roof columns, light, rigid figure. Compared to it, the 118i model, with…

BMW's inline six-cylinder, three-litre diesel engine is available from 258 to 381 hp. Alpina adds its own interpretation of 350 hp to this combination. Should I invest in powerful creatures or be pragmatic about choosing a more profitable base version? Three-liter turbodiesel with four different power levels - at first glance, everything seems crystal clear. This is probably a purely electronic installation, and the differences are only in the field of microprocessor control. Well no! This is not so, if only because we are talking about various technological solutions in the field of turbocharging systems. And of course, not only in them. In this case, a number of questions naturally arise: isn't the 530d the best choice? Or 535d is not the best combination ...

The larger BMW X5 and Mercedes ML SUV models are also available with four-cylinder diesels under the hood. How do small bikes handle heavy machinery? How economical are they? There is only one way to understand this. Looking forward to the comparison test! If there are two least likely reasons people buy large SUVs with fuel-efficient engines, it's the desire for daring cross-country hiking and the desire for especially fuel-efficient travel. In fact, the problem of reducing fuel consumption and maintenance costs in the category over two tons and in the price range above 50 euros stems from the spirit of the times, and not from an attempt to solve the problem. In fact, some restraint wouldn't hurt, but does it make sense? AT…

The roar of the oncoming storm still echoed in the sky as the huge plane approached its landing site near New Jersey. On May 6, 1937, the airship Hindenburg made its first flight of the season, carrying 97 passengers. In a few days, a huge balloon filled with hydrogen should fly back to Frankfurt am Main. All seats on the flight have long been reserved by American citizens eager to witness the coronation of the British King George VI, but fate decreed that these passengers would never board the aircraft giant. Shortly after the preparations for the landing of the airship were completed, its commander Rosendahl noticed the flames on its hull, and after a few seconds the huge ball turned into an ominous flying log, leaving only pitiful metal ones on the ground ...

What is the most beautiful BMW ever? It is not easy to answer, because in the 92 years that have passed since the production of cars, the Bavarians have had many masterpieces. If you ask us, we will point to the elegant 507 of the 50s, Elvis Presley's favorite car. But there are also many connoisseurs who point to the most beautiful BMW in history, something much more modern - the Z8 roadster, created at the dawn of the new millennium. There is no reason for aesthetic disputes, because the Z8 (code E52) was created as a tribute to the legendary BMW 507. The project was developed under the direction of the then chief designer of the company Chris Bengel, and the interior turned out to be the best work of Scott Lampert, and the spectacular exterior was designed by Dane Henrik Fisker , creator of the Aston Martin DB9…
