Ford Excursion modified

Colorado obsessed people living there are three places: the snowy night, clear skies and fun environment, which also makes snow sports especially local prosperity. Car modified Excursion just enough space for small partners are no longer crowded, and drag on snowmobile is also no problem (BMW connecting rods).

Each winter weekend Mile Hi Motorsports employees Derek Vanner and his friends would go to Rocky Mount in participating in various activities. "For us, we like snow sports is entertainment, but difficult to drive through the various sections of our favorite activities is, of course, the driver must be me." This car is not in front of a car Vanner first, long before he owned a 2003 Ford F-250 pickup models, the bike pickup has also been boarded our magazine in 2010, three years after he brought to the car, "heightened version of" Excursion. "After I sold that bike F-250 has been looking for a more suitable car, car Excursion just enough space for my little friends are no longer crowded, and the drag on our snowmobile is also no the problem. " 

Derek Vanner put the beginning of its 10-inch rise kits, and later added three inches of shims to reach the 13 inches of elevated results. For more harmonious visual effect, Vanner put their own company produced the intake grille and 05 models of the lower lip. The height has also become the highest record of local riders. 7.3 liters of diesel engine exhaust put MBRP AFE Stage II intake and 8 inches diameter, smooth breathing also ensures output power (Ford connecting rods).

 The new car also upgraded sound system, because the car also took Vanner and his friends went to Rocky Mount, musical entertainment along the way nature is essential. Pioneer DVD system with navigation capabilities in addition to music but also to ensure that they will not get lost, multiple MTX speakers have surrounded the entire car, in addition to two 12-inch Kicker woofer. It seems Vanner and partners on the road and not be bored (Honda connecting rods).

Car tuning is to enhance the performance of the car

In the past there is a view that the Car tuning is the car look more beautiful, more personal, such as fitted to the car surrounded by large, or add anything to balance the tail, in fact, this is a very superficial view Car tuning. Personality is often very internal thing, a look ordinary person might have a strong personality charm, and a handsome appearance may very mediocre. Car also, a good car is to enhance the intrinsic properties of its decision. The real Car tuning is centered around improving the car's performance, handling and other technical indicators inner core carried out. Car tuning involves many aspects of the overall performance of the car, such as: trip computer, suspension systems, ignition systems, intake and exhaust systems, brake systems, and so on （Subaru Impreza Coilovers）.

Automotive exterior modification

Appearance of the car is equivalent to a person's clothes, different tastes of people will wear different types of clothes, you want your car reflects your personality, of course, wear different clothes to give her friends. General appearance modifications include front and rear bumper, two skirts, high-wing, opening engine cover, window visors, headlights decorative plates, stickers, HID Xenon headlamps.

Off-road vehicles into

Off-road vehicles and civilian cars modified modified somewhat different, the latter is more focused on the relative increase in power and speed, off-road vehicles into put the focus on improving their passing ability, to maximize off-road vehicles and to adapt to various road conditions capacity.

Chassis modifications

Car modification is often "indeed affect the whole body," of course, would require enhanced power brakes more sensitive. Therefore, the main purpose of chassis system modifications is to provide car safety and comfort. The main modifications include shock absorbers, brake hose, wheels, front top right, after the top bar, front chassis, the chassis and so on （impreza coilovers）.

Power system modification

Most fans of the main purpose of modified car modification is to improve the car's surging power! We can say that the power conversion system is the top priority of Car tuning. To improve vehicle power, replacing the spark plugs must be modified, spark plugs wire and sponge, Fuel Saver, water burner, horsepower, electronic rectifier and an exhaust pipe.

Automotive interior modification

Automotive interior upholstery modification is not generalized, but for power conversion, chassis modifications and a series of modifications after the match modification. As the car after conversion, power surge, car racing metamorphosis. Therefore do not install bucket racing seats, racing shift head and a variety of instruments and so on.

Car audio conversion

In a sense, car audio conversion is not a "Car tuning" category. This is because the audio conversion project big or small, can develop independently, has been completely "live on their own," the. In general, the audio conversion is simply to buy a host, amplifier and speakers, of course, sound master of the craft and the concept is important to ensure that the manufacturing excellent music （WRX Coilovers）.

Assembling cars exist serious security risks

Assembling a small workshop rigged car even brazenly placed in the used car market blatant sales! When reporters in manholes Station area garages operating illegally interviews found these inferior car back to life and some scrap parts in the "renovation", after the dress, but also a steady stream into the market through various channels, and the same road as cars pass operations. The zombie assembled vehicles to bring great traffic safety hazards, tragedy frequently.

Upgrading A small workshop into a "assembled base"

When a reporter to interview four years ago, manhole Station nearby auto repair shop and some sneaky acts of illegal assembly, and most orders are received after the start of production. But this interview, these plants produce not only brazenly open in the street, often solicit business. Processed form also from the previous piecemeal and other amateur "assembly workshop" upgrade become production, supply, sell one-stop assembly line type production workshop, and upgraded from a simple transformation tipper trucks assembled into common technologies such as new business difficult .

According to an "assembly plant," the worker, prior to the repair shop assembled or modified car business are mostly passive door processing. The past two years, most of these workshops have been gradually changing the business model, in addition to the active propaganda, to undertake business, but also to start his own investment to purchase scrap cars, after the transformation of batch processing, wholesale directly to the project team or second-hand car traders; Or put these assembling cars directly to the sale of second-hand car market and car together. A long time, they have their own fixed sales channels. As a result, part of the "assembly workshop" Become processing, production, marketing train pipeline processing plant. Now, a peaceful area near the manhole Station gradually formed many small-scale "assembly plant" has been outstanding reputation, has become a semi-public "assembly base."

B reincarnated harm assembled car market

Assembling a steady stream of flowing black car in the end where? Reporter then learned that the investigation, there are three kinds of assembled vehicles sales channels. First, the owner comes scrapped car door machining, assembling baked vehicle was taken away by the owners directly; Second-order, according to the owner claims to produce the vehicles directly into the site and market; third is "assembled base" homegrown produce assembled cars sold directly flowing into the used car market.

January 8, reporters drove to Lanzhou old motor vehicle market. In the truck market, the northeast region, the reporter saw more than twenty trucks parked presence on the ground, more than a dozen vehicles and even license plate did not. These car close to the "for sale" signs, says car dealers who contact phone number. Reporters found that two days ago reporters in the "assembly base" found a "product", which is also for sale.

"There are a lot of abandoned cars or trucks modified cars!" An insider said that these trucks are on Saturday, Sunday sales during the transaction, usually parked on here.

Assembling cars are mostly sold privately, some in the used car market. Because sales approach in limbo, so there are no licensing procedures for assembling cars and black cars, are openly sold in the market, while the car market is now the main vehicle assembly sales channels. Another part of the assembled vehicle flow directly to the site, part of the inflow of rural areas. Many assembled car without any formalities, car sales people will tell you that part of the car assembly procedures, but that is for sale at car dealers who bought from false false. Assembling cars are basically in a remote valley, site traffic, traffic police have no control. Some took advantage of the evening quietly assembling cars in city driving, abnormal movements secretive.

"Core set of five tons of 167,000 yuan of 'single bridge' car and sold 100,000 yuan, 230,000 yuan of 'Bridging' only 150,000 yuan, no formalities are so cheap!" Reporter and an owners to get in touch, he said Linxia person he is, Saturday and Sunday only to the market, a good car is more expensive, but good quality. Cheap car that is assembled over a larger change "single bridge" only seven million, there is no formalities. "These car site worthwhile, core set of five tons of 'single bridge' just pull about 20 tons!" He said on the site of the car basically no formalities, do not buy road maintenance, goods in short supply, we must hurry to buy.

"We are only trading venue, there is no right to inspect the car when entering transactions!" One staff member used car market introduction, there must be assembled car on the market, but they are difficult to find. According to regulations, used cars come into play no right to check the transaction, the transaction is successful only when its market management office to handle the transaction procedures, they can check procedures. But those scrapped cars, assembled vehicles because of the procedures are not complete, they will not come to handle transaction procedures, it is not monitored.

Car tuning engine transformation Revealed

Specially adapted vehicles only within the specified range of competitive private, public security departments approved without modification of vehicles onto the streets is illegal （saab turbo）.

According to regulations, the appearance of the body must be checked when the vehicle inspection, bumpers, mirrors, and other components under endoscopy are complete, intact; window glass is intact; whether the body Zhou Zheng; rear overhang meets the requirements; Compartment there no change, fixed is reliable.

Now has 50000-150000 private car owners as the main modification groups, major institutions may change can be divided into body rigidity, engine power, transmission gear dense than several parts suspension, brakes, electronic control units, etc. these components act in harmony among each other, if there is any one to make changes, will directly affect the driving experience.

Engine for the car just as the heart for the people, the whole car the most important part in this. Although the power output of an engine can be upgraded in many ways, such as changing the air-fuel ratio, forged pistons expand and strengthen connecting rod, crankshaft change, change spark plugs and so on. But the process is basically converted into improved exhaust change the ignition system （saab turbocharger）.

Intake System

On the engine air filter is to filter the air needed for the engine is running, the gasoline engine has this device, playing car people, the original car's air filter installed seems inadequate intake air too. So people play car modified intake system (commonly known as mushrooms) practice. Modified products are made using special chemical fibers, its biggest advantage is that the air filter while the net to make the air flow into the combustion chamber, the flow rate increase, so that the fuel burn more fully, more efficient units, engine performance naturally different.

Exhaust System

After acting engine will exhaust gases, exhaust efficiency is directly related to engine performance merits. The increase in the intake, combustion, while intact, should also enhance the exhaust efficiency. Now more than replaced by straight row, that changed the exhaust system, front, remove the muffler and other purification devices, will exhaust the whole process shortened exhaust gas through a simple process that, after the car accelerated improvement will be more rapid. Straight row in the modified barrel will be deafening noise when accelerating release, but a total shock should not be too large, otherwise it will exacerbate a sense of fatigue and irritability driver driving the vehicle for a long time.

Ignition System

Ignition system together constitute the spark plugs and ignition, original car harness configurations are single group, by sex and by the amount of voltage and current are not satisfactory. The spark plug of a wide range of materials are nickel, platinum, iridium alloy points, form a single, double, the difference between the quadriceps, as well as high temperature, low temperature difference between the heat-resistant properties. The spark plug may be selected based on the compression ratio of the engine speed and air-fuel ratio. High compression ratio of the engine requires the use of high temperature spark plug; conversely, have corresponding low temperature resistance, low compression ratio spark plug engine to use some of them. Ordinary spark plug temperature resistant 6-7 degrees. Modified vehicles because power upgrade, it also needs to improve a little spark plug temperature, generally use 7 degrees spark plug factory, after modification should improve once the use of 6 degrees spark plugs. If you replace the spark plug wires and spark plugs, engine performance real-time change, throttle hard, start fast.

People who like to play cars, are generally looking strong enough car speed, braking distance is short enough, but generally the original car is mostly done in this regard moderation, can not meet the needs of people play car, it is necessary to change the complete dynamic brake talk about change a （Subaru turbo）.

Revised Honda S2000 from Kyo Auto Salon

Famous Japanese company Honda at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 demonstrated a new facelift Honda S2000, it was said, this car is Honda's "civilian car" spiritual peak (audi a4 turbo).

The Honda uses "X-bone" frame, that is, the traditional non-bearing underbody join "X"-type force structure, can enhance body rigidity, but also as the main load-bearing components, supporting other members.

In addition, S2000 still is a unibody car transmission tunnel connecting the beam, or is commonly known as the saddle beam; such a design for small FR better. In addition, the car also installed a set of sound system, full three-dimensional feel, will be able to get your preference (audi a6 turbo)!

You may not buy this Mercedes-Benz G63

Mercedes - Benz G63 AMG 6 × 6 this year, which is no doubt the most bizarre car we have ever seen. Apparently based on the standard Mercedes - Benz (mercedes - benz) G63 AMG SUV, G63 AMG 6 × 6 is basically regarded as crazy SUV variants, will participate in the annual Dakar rally.

However, the car not only looks crazy, its value is also expensive. In the end is how the price? Ah, Mercedes - Benz (mercedes - benz) tuner display, each Mercedes - Benz G63 AMG 6 × 6 will cost you € 379,000, converted into dollars need about $ 513,000, in fact, how much are American pricing is irrelevant, because this Mercedes-Benz 6 × 6 will not be sold to North America.

Mercedes - Benz G63 AMG 6 × 6 is a high-performance SUV addition to its domineering stature than their powerful engines, but also has unfathomable power.

Kahn called Blacked-Out Land Rover Lan revision

It is actually quite simple to explain, all black. The Kahn modified Range Rover looks really particularly ferocious, the car is undoubtedly the world can be called a very nice luxury car. Not only luxury, but also in terms of tarmac and off-road performance SUV models are seen as a model for the tuner Project Kahn from the UK, it provides a very good platform to showcase (vw turbo).

Just like tuning naming rules, RS300 version of the Range Rover with maximum output of 300 horsepower diesel engine. For such a level of luxury SUV to be modified, the most critical is a powerful driving force conversion and exercise performance (vw turbocharger).

 Inside, the car seats with perforated leather seats and embroidered with Cosworth logo, glove box and instrument panel surfaces are covered with leather. RS logo on the shift lever is sewn up, highlighting the different models and general engraved Cosworth brand play clock and all other places are marked on the logo Cosworth mark (saab turbo).

Heico Sportiv Volvo V40 Cross Country to make more attractive

Queen tuner Heico Sportiv Volvo car recently released 2013 Volvo V40 conversion kit, which includes power, control, and the appearance of the upgrade kit.

Part of the appearance, Heico Sportiv offers a more aggressive appearance front bumper, side skirts streamlined. After the new bumper (including the bottom of the splitter), 4-style oval chrome tailpipes, and three kinds of styles of 18-19 inches alloy wheels.

Test Skoda Octavia RS Combi: Is the RS of the better Golf GTI?

How to fueling right with revamped versions of compact cars the Youth for hot stoves excited and the cult car, VW has shown in 1976 with the Golf GTI. And because it worked so well, it was many years later in the Group continued with the strong-fired everyday cars: In 2000, a few logs were refilled at the Skoda Octavia and the result is sent as RS on the streets. This plan worked, now the strong sports-Czech is already in its third edition. Its engines, one petrol and one diesel, derived from the VW-shelf and are also used in the in-house competitors Golf GTI and GTD (Ford connecting rods).

 The turbo-generators are united by a displacement of two liters, the petrol engine creates 220 hp cause, the diesel powert with 184 hp. If one is aiming generously over the thumb to RS and GTI / GTD differ in the comparable versions neither the price nor in the dynamics values ​​significantly. So far, so equal. But who has ever tried to strangle a baby stroller in the trunk of the Gulf, will appreciate the major difference between the three and five-door hatchback and the Skoda VW: The Octavia RS is available as a five-door sedan and station wagon. The latter makes up the race in the customer's favor, according to 95 percent of all Skoda RS have sold a heck with combi flap (Honda connecting rods).

 Strong from the basement That the RS in its series sets the tone, you can hear after launching. An optional sound generator, the engine noise passes through the windshield in the vehicle interior. While that creates a beautifully focused tone at full speed with the petrol, the diesel is only just loud. With the gasoline we get to the slopes and have very quickly realized: Because it works. The machine rotates strongly from low revs and will depend on about 4,000 trips greedy on the gas. The force makes the Skoda scoot like the espresso machine at an Italian restaurant and brings the rapid acceleration much fun. Although the lowered by 15 millimeters sports suspension counts pedantic each manhole cover with noticeable impact, but as soon as it is curvy, the firm base is a source of joy. Thanks to standard-progressive steering allows the athlete agile steered around bends, as you have to turn the control during rapid right-left combinations far less than a normal steering.

The factory-fitted electronic differential lock at the front will take care of the directional stability by specifically braking the inner wheel with traction loss. The fact that the Golf GTI in serpentine wagging a track feels more agile, the fact is owed​​, that the Wolfsburg is about forty inches shorter than the Octavia Combi. Fun of the handle knob to the exact six-speed manual transmission, only the paths are a bit too long. Who often delegated work, the switching also from 1800 € expensive DSG can be slimming (Isuzu connecting rods).

V6 diesel engine and electric motor: So the Range Rover SDV6 hybrid drives

Also, Land Rover finally jumps on the hybrid train and presented at the Auto Show IAA in Frankfurt (September 12 to 22, 2013) the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport with the full force of V6 diesel engine and electric motor. In the fall of 2013, the models can be ordered in the spring of 2014, it will be delivered. First prototypes undergo in these days a mammoth test drive: The 16,000-kilometer route from Land Rover main plant in Solihull in the English Indian Mumbai. There sits Tata Motors, the parent company of Land Rover. In brief stopover in Berlin, we were able to Range Rover hybrid drive for the first time on the road and off road (volvo turbo).

 Prototype falls A normal Range Rover is already not to overlook on the road, our hybrid prototype draws attention to itself as a entfleuchter from the zoo elephant. This is, however, therefore, in the first place, that the expedition car is not only stuck green, but also two diesel jerry cans and a spare wheel carries on the roof. The subsequent production model it is from the other Range Rover engines only by a writing may differ on the rear. From the high seating position, the crowd can look cool. The luxurious ausstaffierte with leather and wood interior reminds you of how the other range models used to more of a lounge than in an automobile. Quiet and smooth, the large SUV makes its way, so as you know and expect from him. First V6 diesel coupled with an electric motor An aluminum body and other dietary measures had to date the fat range can slim down powerful in its new edition in 2012, will now be further rotated to the consumption screw. Beneath the bodywork conceals a novelty: the Range Rover hybrid a V6 diesel is first coupled to an electric motor. The Nitro-is the role of the known from the new Range Rover Sport three-liter V6 diesel with 292 hp, the Stromer plays a 35 kW (48 hp) electric motor. This sits between the diesel engine and the eight-speed ZF automatic transmission. His food refers to the electrician from an approximately 50-kilogram, liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery which has been hidden protected under the vehicle floor. This one has also in the trunk suffered no loss of space and even the optional third row of seats is still bookable (Audi Turbo).

 Only 6.4 liters of diesel As Ross McMurren, hybrid developer, explained at Land Rover, the hybrid is in terms of power in any way hide behind the 4.4-liter V8 diesel SDV8. On paper it works before: With the V8, the twin engine Brite dividing the total power of 340 hp, maximum torque of 700 Newton meters, the sprint time of under seven seconds to 100 and the top speed of just under 220 km / h. In practice, it looks similar: Although the six-cylinder does not sound so nice powerful, growling as the V8 diesel, but in terms of performance, the Small the Great as promised candle. In normal driving, only the diesel is running, when accelerating, the electric motor assists the Nitro immediately with a torque syringe. The beefy power delivery is a delight, the eight-speed automatic transmission changes gears smoothly usual. The moments in which the streamers are switched on and off, hardly noticeable. The electric motor acts as a generator during braking, which charges the battery. When that happens, and how much juice the battery has, is displayed in a hybrid display behind the steering wheel. Only miserly 6.4 liters of diesel to burn according to Land Rover 100 kilometers of the hybrid drive, which is 2.3 liters less than the manufacturer calls for the SDV8. On our first trip, which went through the city and on the highway, we've taken 8.9 liters on board computer. Must pull off one of them still a consumption through the roof rack. Also one must not lose sight of the fact that it is a pre-production (renault turbo).

Only cheap? Dacia Sandero Stepway dCi 90 in the test

Damn! Who has designed these seats only in Dacia Sandero Stepway? Without any kind of leadership and then also pushes the metal inner life in the ass. Well, what I pull from a few hundred kilometers of motorway in such a car? Simply because "such a car" has many friends. Because it's unbeatable price, as we shall see.

Simple, but frugal
But first things first: in 2012 the Sandero has thoroughly refurbished Renault's low-cost offshoot Dacia. The most popular is the Stepway version. In the optical shows why: Black plastic sill all around give the car a rugged touch, while increased to four inches of ground clearance protects against potholes. Given the fact that the Stepway starts already with clear 9.990 euros, its appearance must not hide. The undisguised sill of at least 320 liters of luggage compartment shows, however, how such a cheaper price comes about. This impression continues in the cockpit: Here are the plastics may be simple, but everything is where it belongs, apart from the horn in the turn indicator lever and see. Speaking: A Practical Tip function for three flashes in vain. Even more inconvenient is the arrangement of the switches for the power windows and cruise control, far below in the center console.

Today a king
Because we were with the king of all Sanderos go, the Stepway Prestige with 90-hp diesel for still narrow 13,990 euros. It's all there, which makes sense: Equipped with air conditioning, electric windows and a rear parking aid even a Navi. The affordable unit with seven-inch touch screen and USB port impressed by ease of use, lack the much more expensive systems from other manufacturers sometimes. No complaints there are for space, but who gets out the back, should be careful on the rear corner of the door, where you may encounter. The suspension of the Sandero Stepway is largely tried to comfort, but must surrender at awkward bumps.

old acquaintance
Under the hood of an old acquaintance provides its service: A native of Renault diesel with 90 hp logs in the cold state distinctly to Word, but otherwise remains up to 120 km / h background. It is interesting to be activated by pressing a button "Eco Mode". By throttling of engine output, torque and air-conditioning fuel can be saved up to ten percent. This goes up to the aforementioned 120 km / h off very well and shows long-range effect actually: Use the standard cruise control could be achieved remarkable 4.3 liters per 100 kilometers. Also noteworthy is the difference in price to similar products from Wolfsburg: A comparable VW Cross Polo 1.6 TDI will cost 21,915 euros proud, so about 8,000 euros more.

Endurance test: Seven months in the Suzuki Swift Sport

Asked time openly among us car connoisseurs: What do you think of strong small car? Maybe the VW Polo GTI? Or in this booklet featured Ford Fiesta ST and Peugeot 208 GTi? Certainly a good choice, but a racer has hardly any on the screen: the Suzuki Swift Sport. This may be because the Japanese with 0.8 percent market share act more in the background, but also that their vehicles are quite inconspicuous. This principle remains true to the Swift Sport. Him we have taken during seven months and nearly 16,000 km under the microscope. When he rolls before our editorial, the unobtrusive appearance shows in natura. Certainly, a different front bumper, two single tailpipes at the rear and standard 17-inch alloy wheels along with 195er tires indicate the flagship of the Swift series. Then there is the color "Ablaze Red Metallic". It belongs to the extensive standard equipment, extra paid services are part of Suzuki not provided. On board are for 18,990 euros in addition to climate control, a CD Radio with USB port and bi-xenon headlights, cruise control and heated seats.

Ultimate Extras are missing
Lots of it and much in it, but we would at least still desired rear parking beepers, since the Swift Sport is not optimally visible in this direction despite only 3.89 meters in length. For astonishment ensured the execution of some extras: So degenerates the music selection from a USB stick in a game of patience and the single-stage seat heating mutated after a few minutes to grill. About the fact that it was the Swift Sport so far only in three-door, one may argue, there are now also a version with rear portals. But why are the rear seats to be folded is only as a whole, remains a mystery. It could use a split back good, because the trunk with 211 liters fälllt in the normal state pretty puny. Extremely annoying turns out the shaky rack. It is not hung up on the tailgate, so that often the window is hidden when forgotten, they hinunterzuklappen.

Noisy but elastic
Inside the grip steering wheel and comfortable sport seats were praised, but there were deductions for the simple and scratch-prone material appearance. With respect to the standard sports chassis, the opinions were divided: here "firm, but well balanced," there "somewhat hard". Law consistently the judgment was on the drive: Overly bubbly the 136-hp engine is not going to work, but he prefers elastic at low engine speeds up. Only at higher tours of the Suzuki acting reasonably fast. Then it's uncomfortably loud as the sixth gear of the otherwise crisp gearbox is translated too short. In general, the soundscape is improved, dull-brummig the Swift Sport goes to work. Even Suzuki admits himself that the highway is not his best area. Actually makes the small Japanese in the city and on the highway the most fun. For the direct steering provides, in town can at 50 km / h are chosen fifth gear. Finally, we were surprised when consumption: Despite a high proportion of highway average was acceptable 7.6 liter or 1.2 liter above the factory specification.

The new BMW 435i Coupe in the test

"A Coupe design is the dream of every car designer", says Adrian van Hooydonk, mainly responsible for the appearance of the current BMW fleet, and allows the gaze gently over the muscular flanks of his latest creation. "Two doors are simply more creative freedom than four. Hence the formal language of a model is usually taken forward over the coupe."

Even numbers
At the appearance of the 4ers you get used to quickly and willingly. The proportions are elegant, well-known the snout and the interior in a similar form by 3. Only the sight of 435i-lettering on the tail is still getting used to. Where the four not the first even number that adorns the rear of a Bavaria: From 1989 to 1999, a BMW luxury coupe with the back of Number Eight adorned, in 1975 came the six-used and has since appeared three different coupe and convertible series its name.

new models
And so now the four for the Coupe and the Convertible in the 3 Series. The former is available from October this year, zweiteres follows early 2014 BMW justifies the name change with a stronger technical differentiation for 3 Series, the new number may well also serve clarity, if the model range will be expanded in the coming years to completely new body styles.

2,000 euros extra
Make no mistake about it: The higher number will allow higher prices. For over 2,000 Euro premium over the 3 Series Sedan, there is a picture book coupe that can satisfied smile and van Hooydonk. Enforce his ideas was for the chief designer is not always easy. "It is easiest for a designer, if there is no predecessor, then you have a lot of room there a predecessor, the engineers want to first remember that everything remains as before ". But Hooydonk wanted change, wanted shorter overhangs and wider flanks.

50 millimeter longer wheelbase
He got it. The 4p is 26 mm longer than the outgoing 3 Series Coupe, but has a 50 mm longer wheelbase and thus a remarkably short front overhang. In width 43 ​​mm were added. For the first time the wheel arch marks behind the widest part of the vehicle, the rear track grew by a whopping 80 millimeters. Is proportioned so the 4-sporty on the asphalt, the lowered roofline provides the typical coupé elegance.

Lower seating position
Behind the wheel can be accessed by you can plop down in the sports seats - which are driven by the us 435i series. The space resembles that of the sedan, but you sit much closer to the tarmac. A little cramped it is in the rear too: Although it might not seem so at first glance, the headroom is acceptable and also the knee fit behind the backs of the front seats - on long journeys is likely at least greater grown people feel quite concentrated anyway. Never mind who wants a motorhome, may pick up the 3 Series GT.

Technical specialties
