after dropping in to familiar AZS immediately after washing, I was pleasantly astonished by the level of the service, exerted to the owners of expensive extra-roads builder. The table, which says, here already long ago hung, that the rub of frontal glass and the control of air pressure in the tires are produced free of charge, however being regularly repaired in its own machine, nothing similar to 4 it observed. However, it was worthwhile for me to arrive on Khshch, as dispenser here it rushed to rub ideally clean windshield greased rag and even made form, what checks pressure in the tires. With the visible zeal after performing these simple operations, youth immediately proved to be at the driver door, rather rough hinting, that its "services" require additional charge...

After appearing in 1999, X5 he became the first representative of the category of road jeeps, which marketologi BMW baptized SAV - Sports Activity Vehicle. Psevdovnedorzhniki, badly fitted out for the motion through the broken ground, existed and it is earlier; they enjoy the greatest popularity in America, where they arose as a result of transformation from the pick-ups. However, Khshch it proved to be completely different. Built on the chassis of passenger automobile, it, without having acquired the salient extra-road qualities, could preserve that how be famous all BMW, outstanding controllability on the asphalt and a good feeling of automobile. In spite of the European "ideology" of machine, assembling Khshch was fixed in America (state of South Carolina), which was considered as the priority market.

Went time, and, in order not to lag behind the competitors, Khshch it was subjected to restaylingu, moreover besides the modified appearance, extra-road builder obtained the new power unit, borrowed from sedan 74п, and the all-wheel-drive transmission xDrive with another distribution of torque.

Khshch it outwardly changed very insignificantly; the most noticeable detail - new headlights, in style BMW of the 3rd series: they found more plastic forms. Possibly, they will be succeeded in "renewing" the image of model Khshch. It's no secret to anyone, which in Russia Khshch is located in the number of leaders through a quantity of thefts among the foreign-produced brands, but about those, who drive after the tightly tonirovannymi glass of similar machines, in the people numerous anecdotes walk. Why - to surmise simply: this is the consequence of the general characteristic image of automobiles BMW, "merged" with the ideas about the "typical" owners of extra-roads builder. However, 4 I will try to forego the stereotypes and to estimate first of all automobile itself - indeed look- that exists to that.

On the level of internal finishing Khshch barely be inferior to the predstavitel'skim sedans of the 7th series. True, there is no joystick of system i -Drive (it is small the loss: to be dismantled with the majority of its functions to me so not for time succeeded - patience did not be sufficient), then large colored display on the main is present, moreover it can work even in the regime of television set (of course only at rest - during the motion image it is turned off).

Panel of instruments is left without the change. Classical combination of four standard instruments: speedometer, tachometer and the indicators of the fuel stock (in the liters) and temperature of the cooling fluid - it is read well with any illumination and completely it does not need "adornments" like the chrome-plated rims. Only incomprehensible for me instrument - switch econometer, marked to 20 l on 100 km (this expenditure for Khshch is faster standard, than by exception). Practically pointer immediately goes off scale with any pressure on the pedal of gas, and to obtain adequate information about the instantaneous expenditure is impossible (data about the average expenditure it allows on-board computer).

To detail

BMW X5 are supplied for the Russian market with three versions of the engines: by benzine 3,0 (231 l. s.) and 4,4 v8 (333 l. s.) and 204- strong turbodizelem with a volume of 3 liters. All modifications are equipped with automatic transmission - 5- stepped with the 3- liter motors and 6- stepped with the engine 4,4 l.
Versions of assembly - three, and they all are very extensive. Into the list of the base equipment Business enter, first of all, leather salon, two-zone climate- control, complete set of the means of active safety, including stabilization system DSC, the aid of descent from the steep slopes HDC, 6 pillows of safety, the electric drives of front seats with the preheating, parktronik, radio tape recorder with CD, the pneumatic suspension of rear wheels (only for the machines with the 8- drum engine), light-alloy wheel disks...

Even more the "packed" versions they are possible only in combination with the 8- drum motor. To exacting buyers are proposed versions Luxury and Dinamic. The first is characterized by more qualitative skin of finishing salon, pillows of safety for the protection of rear passengers, dual lateral glass, climate- control of the tail end of the salon and more powerful audiosistemoy to 6 CDS. Version Dynamic is differed from Luxury in terms of the sport tuning of suspension and in terms of the heterodimensional wheels (255/50 r19 from the front even 285/45 r19 from behind).

The most accessible Khshch with the 3- liter gasoline engine is evaluated at 69 900 Euro-. Turbodizel'naya version 3.0 d will manage to 2 with 000 Euro- more expensive. Khshch 4.4 stand from 86 900 Euro-. For assemblies Luxury and Dinamic it is necessary to pay the remainder 6 000 and to 6 500 Euro- respectively.

Furthermore, the dealers have a sport version Khshch 4,8 i.s. with the power of 360 hp, which promises to compose the serious competition Porsche Cayenne Turbo.

Price - from 114 900 Euro-.

4,4- liter engine with system Valvetronic composes ideal pair with the 6- stepped "automaton". 333 "horse", that they hide themselves under the cowling, be sufficient always and everywhere. In spite of serious overall sizes and mass, machine with this engine demonstrates the impressive dynamics. The adaptive automatic gearbox thinly feeling the mood of driver. Stamped several times on the pedal of gas to wear and tear of kick down - and with the following braking "box" will itself sort out transfers downward, helping to impede by engine and ensuring powerful acceleration on the first requirement.
But for the so impressive dynamics be necessary to pay on each servicing. The minimum value of the fuel consumption, which for me was possible to see on the screen of on-board computer, was 16 l on 100 km with the calm ride it shows 18-20 l; however, upper limit depends on your imagination.

V sport regime "automaton" works noticeably more sharply, the pedal of gas becomes sharper, and transfers are changed with lightning speed, without increasing to the number of revolutions of motor to fall below 2 000-3 000 r/min. But this rhythm rapidly tired me, yes even companion began to complain about the fact that from her alternating accelerations rocks to sleep. On me, more simply to move in the standard regime - and when the "automaton" me does not understand, it is possible to work by knob, after pushing selector to the right. It is only necessary to constantly remember that for the passage downward should be pushed the lever forward, and upward - back; the majority of producers uses a reverse diagram. Although, possibly, such problem encounter only the auto-journalists, which it constantly is necessary to drive in the different machines; in "standard" driver the algorithm is fixed after only the pair of days, so that you are switched, without a moment's hesitation.
