... are somewhat hour on this by-street they back passed sprinkler machines. It departed downward, only being bent in the middle. "it is more careful", it muttered 4, since at the very beginning of trip Vladimir by key opened the protivozanosnuyu system DSC. at the bend of wet road the tail of automobile only it carried, but my satellite instantly extinguished the slip by the short motion of control. Thus to quietly pass on the face of fola make it possible not only magnificently those fixed suspension and control, but also the rear differential, developed specially for "Me". It even was called personal name - "M Variable Differential Lock". In other words, differential with the variable degree of blocking. This is complex device with its internal hydraulic system and even electric pump! Depending on motion conditions BY "M Variable..." it redistributes energy of the motor between drive rear wheels. At that moment, when us it carried, differential directed the large part of torque to the "necessary" wheel, helping to extinguish the slip and to hold trajectory. As you see, on the effect of action "M Variable..." partly resembles protivozanosnuyu system, although the same is not and makes it possible to drive with the drifts! Never even in the zadneprivodnom sport automobile were combined so harmoniously safety and pleasure from the aggressive driving. Previously it is possible to say that because of "M Variable..." this BMW will be by gold line inscribed into the history of sport automobiles.

P.S. BMW: the chronicle of tomorrow

within the next few years Bavarian company is intended to radically renew a model number by what will be BMW tomorrow? We composed "chronicle" of some details, published in the European and American press.

2002. Must appear rodster "BMW Z3" the following generation. Its exterior striking is differed from the customary appearance of Bavarian bystrokhodtsev. Not without reason on the last auto-salon in Detroit, during the presentation of extravagant concept- penalty "BMW X -Coupe", the chief designer of the company Of kris Of bengl noted: "time itself to devise the new language of forms BMW. after several small steps is forward again time to make one large".

If contemporary "Z3" is rather tight, then new open "bimmer" will be convenient even high broad-shouldered people cockpit became considerably more spaciously. To two frontal pillows of safety were added lateral. The automation determines with the aid of the special sensors, adult person sits next to the driver or child - the force of the wear and tear of pillow depends on this.

Because of the extended track automobile is steadier than the predecessor. Is modified the combination of the protivozanosnoy system DSC and protivobuksovochnoy ASC. It is remarkable, that on snow the automation nevertheless makes possible for machine to skid (so that it would be more easily move), but only to the speed of 70 km/h.

On "BMW Z3" are planned to use three gasoline engines. These are 4- drum motor (2 l, 143 forces) and is two is in-line of "six" volume of 2,5 l (192 hp.) and three liters (231 hp). In 2003 is planned the debut of extreme "M Road- ster" with the 343- strong motor from the present "BMW M3". But here are modifications "Z3 Coupe" with the rigid roof, apparently, more not it will be.

2003. We await new "five". Sedan first will appear, and specialist makes a debut in half a year- yr. Similar to rodsteru described above, automobile will be designer breakthrough. Almond-shaped headlights and small flat "nostrils" will become the residency card of the "five ' 2003". By the formulation of the tail end of the body with the wide flat boot-lid automobile must agree with with future "seven".

Contemporary model is already sufficiently great; therefore the overall sizes of novelty practically will not change. Engineers intend to increase internal volume due to the use of compact mechanisms. "five" promises to become oversaturated electronics and mul'timediynymi devices - all this is good, but increases the mass of automobile. Large weight can negatively affect the running qualities; therefore Bavarians decisively fight and more "kg". For this the forward section of the automobile is practically wholly made from aluminum.

For the model are developed gamma more high-powered engines. For example, eight-cylinder model "540i" instead of the present 286 forces will have available 340. Horsepower "Mshch" will grow to 430 forces... Besides V8, it is planned to propose to buyers the six-cylinder engines and even four-cylinder, which are not provided for the present "five". Besides the traditional rear drive is projected the transmission of "yakhya" - all-wheel-drive passenger models now enjoy the increasing demand.

2004. Possibly, BMW will leave for the market for "hot khetchbekov". The management of company examines the design of the inexpensive sport automobile, which will compose competition "VW Golf GTI" and "Honda Civic Type R". The most important difference in small "bimmera" from these sport machines will be rear drive - now on the market there are no compact sportkarov of classical layout. As the power unit, apparently, is used 4- drum motor from "Mini".
