The previous generation of the BMW 3 Series has long been recognized as the best-looking and classic generation. The exterior design is more fashionable, the proportion of the front face is very coordinated, and the double nostril center mesh design is still the standard of the BMW 3 Series, which is also the inheritance of the classic.
In 2012, the sixth generation of BMW 3 Series was launched, the chassis code F30; the four-door version was codenamed F30, the touring version was F3, and the chassis code of our domestic extended version of 3 Series was named F35. F35 is also the BMW 3 Series we are most familiar with, and the electronic gear knob has become the standard equipment of the BMW 3 Series when the sixth generation was launched, and the whole system has been replaced by a turbo engine, and the naturally aspirated engine of the previous generation was not used, and BMW has since then changed to a turbo engine, which is the most popular and classic generation. The naturally aspirated engine of the previous generation was not used, and BMW entered the turbo era.
BMW 3 Series as a sports midsize sedan, is the benchmark of the same class of sports midsize sedan, good handling is the biggest evaluation of people for him, BMW 3 Series is a good interpretation of BMW's spirit of sports, so there are a lot of people who like the BMW 3 Series called him the civilian version of the Ferrari.
The last generation of BMW 3 series has always been considered the most good-looking and classic generation. The exterior design is more fashionable, the front face is very coordinated in proportion, and the double nostril center net design is still the standard of the BMW 3 series, which is also the inheritance of the classic.
Especially the sharp headlights, which were affectionately called "spoon headlights" at the time, of course, there is a better name "angel eyes". When lit, they are particularly recognizable, and those who are familiar with them will be able to tell them apart at a glance.
The front face is a feeling of flying on the ground, full of sports; body lines are smooth, full of power, the classic Hofmeister kink are a tribute to Bangle.
Tail shape full, taillights and headlights echo each other, and the trunk edge using upward design, many owners will add a small piece of tail on the trunk lid, while many owners will also change the exhaust into a bilateral four, which makes the whole tail looks more sporty, but also makes the overall shape of the BMW 3 Series has a high degree of recognition. An owner commented that "the most attractive place is the appearance, the front and rear design is very good-looking, and when the BMW 3 Series buy most of the male young people mostly".
BMW 3 Series interior is modest, typical German car design style, the factory with the steering wheel shape is too common, many owners will replace the original steering wheel, become a thong steering wheel, not only beautiful and comfort has been improved; the classic instrument panel highlights the sporty style.
The classic instrument panel highlights the sporty style and adds a few ring-shaped plastic parts to the tachometer, speedometer, oil temperature gauge, and fuel tank gauge, which I think is a bit redundant, but his red sports pointer is quite nice to look at, and there's also BMW's unique beeps when it's energized, and, thump, welcome to the world of BMW.
The center control screen of the low end is too small, the high end looks okay, and the display is not rich enough; underneath is the radio button, CD player and traditional air conditioning physical buttons, the shape is ordinary, but the good thing is that it is particularly good, after getting used to the blind operation is also good, and I think it's a lot more convenient than the current touch control operation.
Big chicken leg gear handle is the favorite of countless 3 series owners, many owners drive with one hand holding the steering wheel, one hand holding the gear handle, feel like a racing driver. Mechanical handbrake is also his point of view, BMW 3 Series owners scoff at the electronic handbrake, feeling that it is a product of electronic, no mechanical beauty. For the ladies, however, it is a little less friendly, with less force to pull it.
The center knob has been continued, but it was enough for the time, when the car system did not display as much content as well as functions as it does now. However, the car is equipped with Harman Kardon, but it is quite amazing, The sound of the engine, coupled with the excellent performance of the Harman Kardon audio, definitely lets the owner feel the adrenaline rush.
In terms of space, the long-wheelbase BMW 3 Series performance is still very good, the rear row of the standard axle machine seems cramped, so the sale is not really good. The whole material is much better than the current model, the seat is very well filled, the length of the cushion can also be, for the human body support is also particularly good, and the main driving position also has a seat memory function, the current 3 series seats feel too thin.
At that time, the 3 Series was equipped with a small sunroof, in the lighting is not particularly good, the back seat seems a little dark; however, the angle of the backrest of the rear seat is also available, a long time to ride does not seem particularly tired. Because it is a rear-drive model, the center bulge will affect the comfort of the middle of the rear seat.
BMW 3 series is mainly 2.0t plus 8AT, of course, there is also 1.5t three-cylinder engine, when BMW came out to be consumers scoffed at, scolded; like the regular army mixed in an impostor, we are particularly disgusted with the 1.5t engine.
3 series of driving position and Mercedes-Benz C-class, Audi A4 is very different, the whole person is like being stuffed in the same way, the brake and throttle position is more leaning down, the distance from the seat feels a little far away, the steering wheel position is more leaning back, feel close to the chest, coupled with the characteristics of the seat, so that you feel like driving a race car.
BMW 3 Series of not only excellent power, but more importantly, his chassis materials and tuning, the front suspension using double ball joint suspension, double ball joint suspension is a structure of a more special suspension, this suspension is based on the McPherson suspension improved. The double ball joint suspension improves handling and also steering precision, and the multilink suspension improves the wheels to the ground, which improves the handling of the car.
The perfect match between the engine and the 8AT transmission, combined with rear-wheel drive, outstanding chassis quality, and the precise tuning by the engineers, allows the BMW 3 Series to achieve precise handling. It goes wherever the direction points and effectively conveys road conditions, preserving BMW’s sporty genes. The driving experience is excellent, with smoother power delivery, making it feel like a fish in water. The front-to-rear weight distribution remains at 50:50, achieving an almost perfect balance between handling and comfort, which perfectly captures the hearts of young people.
Of course, BMW 3 series is not all the advantages, shortcomings are also very prominent, 3 series of disease faults are mainly the following points.
1, the engine rattles, valve cover gasket, oil leakage of the supercharged oil tube, turbocharged models of the typical common problems, if not leakage is false BMW.
2, the cylinder direct injection method of the cylinder carbon deposits, valve carbon problems, this problem is not big, the maintenance of regular cleaning on the line.
3, common oil burning situation, but compared to the mass of EA888 is still much better.
4, the engine is prone to high-pressure oil pump problems, oil pump circuit failure, valve failure, sealing gasket oil leakage are easy to cause, the specific performance: unstable idle, acceleration, acceleration of powerlessness, acceleration of the sense of frustration or in the rapid acceleration of the sound situation. 3 series, although it is good to drive, but do not drive violently, after all, it is a It is, after all, a family car.
5, plastic made of water pump is prone to leakage, rubber seal aging, replace it and solve the problem.6, interior plastic parts aging, physical cases of the function of the logo fuzzy off, and there is a sticky situation, the position of the door handle is the most serious situation.
Although the BMW 3 series has more or less problems, but does not prevent people like him, in everyone's heart, 3 series is a rare good car, he let the driver experience the joy of manipulation, so that the bland life added a touch of new color.
