What to choose BMW X6 E71? What to choose, bmw x1 gasoline or diesel? Compare the variants of the German Diesel or gasoline parcktail or gasoline is more reliable from BMW.

In endless disputes that better than gasoline or diesel, the main argument against diesel cars usually sounds like this: "In winter, they are warm with him!". The people are widespread that, firstly, diesel cars do not come in winter, as the domestic diesel engine freezes even in a small frost, and secondly, in diesel cars in winter it is very cold, since diesel engine He is heated slowly and weakly and therefore the stove in them barely warm.

I will not go into the theory, I will simply share personal observations. So, as the garage turned out to be busy with the younger brother Spark, then BMW X1 lived winter without a roof over his head. The current winter did not put the Records of the cold. The most severe test that fell on the BMW X1 head this winter is to start the engine after two days of idle time at minus 22-24 degrees. And with this task, the BMW X1 coped easily - already in a second after clicking the "Start" button, the engine worked smoothly and quietly as in the summer.

Before talking about how the interior of this car is heated, allow itself a small lyrical retreat.

Frankly, it is not clear to me why until this afraid the problem of heating the salon and the engine of the car did not go into the fly. Why is the heating of the cabin begins only after the engine warms? But immediately after launching the engine produces energy, the low share of which would be enough to power a kilowatt fan heater, which even in the most bodied frost would have warmed the car's salon in a couple of minutes. Electrical heaters are compact, cheap, durable. So why not complete the built-in electrical heaters for the cabin and the engine all cars still at the factory? This would not only save time and fuel spent on the warming of cars in winter, but also had a positive effect on ecology. However, such technologies for some reason are used today very rarely.

But back to the topic of comfort in the salon of the Diesel BMW X1. Let us consider the opinion about the poor warming of diesel engines, this car was the warmest of all of my cars, although the previous four were petrol. I will not argue with theorists and refute the opinion of the coldness of diesel engines in general, but I will say that the stove in the Diesel BMW X1 begins to work quickly and warms very well.

But not only due to the stove creates comfort in the car in winter time. I want to say a few words about the heating of the steering wheel. I get the gloves from the closet when I am going to a ski ride, I won't go around everything else. Therefore, he always considered heating the steering wheel with a female "female" and completely unnecessary to me. However, now my attitude to this strand has changed.

Imagine, here you are sitting in a completely cold car and start moving. The engine has not yet warmed up, but the climate control, unlike the simple stove, does not drive cold air on the salon, and waits for the stove at least a little warm, therefore there are no drafts in the cabin. Thanks to the powerful heating of the seats and the steering wheel, after a few minutes you are sitting in a warm chair and keep a warm steering wheel in your hands. Warm air does not yet enter the salon, but electrical heat warming the most sensitive places, creates a complete feeling of heat around you.

From the very beginning, choosing a car, I decided for myself that I will not put together with cold, and it was morally prepared for the fact that, if necessary, put the preheater. But the experience of the first winter operating It showed that in conditions of not too harsh winter of the middle strip of Russia, for such a car, like BMW X1, there is no need for an preheating heater. And it pleases.

Long-term BMW X1 test with Diesel: Results and cost of ownership - Test Drive - Motor

BMW X1 After changing generations, it became better in almost everything: spacious, prettier and noticeably more comfortable. But appeared new problem - price. The test car costs 3.7 million rubles, which significantly narrows the circle of its potential owners. It seems to be time to look at competitors and deal with the cost of ownership.

For the first two weeks of the test of claims to the BMW X1 accumulated quite a bit. The main of them is not in favor of Baemwash, the brake pedal drive, because of which the car does not slow down, then pecks his nose. An unpleasant thing, especially on a slippery road in combination with not the most chain non-coordinates of Continental, intended for the European Winter.

The second complaint has already formed at the end of the test month - noise. It seems and the tires are soft, and there are no buses, but the buzz from the tires dominates in the overall sound background, and the faster you go, the louder it becomes. Noisy and motor, though, I repeat, you won't call it if it is noticeable if it's noticeable from a diesel engine after the first 10-15 minutes after a cold start.

The chassis, at first it seemed not too comfortable, to the end of the test fell in love with itself completely and irrevocably. A dense suspension works silently, unlike the previous X1 and other models built on the current platform of 3- and 1-series, and allows the move to pass "lying police", road patches and other road trouble. It is necessary to avoid only deep holes with sharp edges - the shock absorbers do not work so confidently as compression.

In the tandem of the two-liter turbodiesel and the eight-stage AISIN automaton reigns love and consent - so much that sports regime Transmissions I turned on only a couple of times - on the sample. And one of them fell on several laps on the ice-eyed highway ADM "Mechkovo".

Remember that with the change of the BMW X1 platform, also lost the branded all-wheel drive XDrive transmission with a posterior-water layout, in which the moment on the front wheels was supplied via an electron-controlled coupling? Now the basic drive from the "X-first" front, and rear wheels connected by the electronics command, using haldex couplings The finest, fifth generation. Does this mean that the X1 tried to lose a rear-wheel drive that causing a pleasant deception in the most unexpected places? Actually, yes.

But this is logical - if earlier the lion's share of traction received the rear axle, as the main leading, then now the ball rules. However, the fifth Haldex - the design is so cool that proper setting Allows you to make a gambling almost any car. A year ago, VW Golf R impressed us with his clockwork character, and now BMW X1 proved that it is capable of riding no less inly. Turn off the stabilization system, light nod to the steering wheel in the direction of rotation, reset the gas - and as soon as the rear axle begins to slide, pick up the bid of the gas and slide under the burden until the turn is over. Kaif!

Yes, a power slip, as in the former X1, remained in the past - if you just drown an accelerator at the entrance to the turn, the crossover will go out with all four wheels. And it is a bit ... Let's say so, sadness. On the other hand, even with the fully disconnected DSC "X-first" breaks away from the spot very bold, without spending time in search of a hooker for rear wheels. Yes, and at the speed, the crossover became more stable, especially on an inhomogeneous coating, when under the wheels of a snow-ice mix of suburban roads with carriers of asphalt.

It will be easier for ordinary drivers to understand such a character, well, and all the others will have to remember the rally acceptors.

And this, perhaps, everything you need to know about the "fan-tube" in the context of the new BMW X1. Because, first of all, this is a family crossover, not a sports car for conquering frozen lakes. And with what, and with the practicality of this car everything is in perfect order.

The trunk is large - from 505 to 1550 liters - and convenient in shape. The rear door is with an electric and sensor in the bumper: waved the foot under the bumper, and the door opened. Or closed. The backs of the rear seats are folded in any proportions, and you can lower them with buttons in the trunk - as far as it is convenient, you will not understand until you try yourself. The rear sofa here, by the way, has three separate chairs (this is an option) that can move forward-back by 15 centimeters independently of each other. However, in any position, there is enough places for adults and children, because the new layout allowed to push the rear sofa a little further, having filled several additional centimeters - it was not enough of them to be so lacking the predecessor.

Fuel consumption by the end of the month dropped a little more - up to 8.1 liters. What other expenses are waiting for the owner x1 in the first year of operation? As usual, we calculate the costs for the driver over 22 years old with more than three years of experience, which lives in Moscow and drives for a year 20 thousand kilometers.

The costs of the owner of the BMW X1 XDRIVE 20D in the first year of operation

Traditionally, the most impressive part of the spending is the insurance of CASCO. However, even despite the price tag of 3.7 million, the BMW crossover will cost no more than RR Evoque, which a year ago cost a million cheaper. There will be no waste on fuel and the first one - only 18 thousand rubles for regulatory work. But the price itself ... maybe in this class there is something cheaper?

BMW X1 Cockcourts

But what to do if you want exactly x1? Take! Only with the configurator is inactive. Because the base 20i or 18d with full-wheel drive and the "machine" will cost only two million with a small one, and in the basic configuration they will have everything necessary for life. And if now x1 is unlikely to qualify for the role first BMW. in someone's life, then on the role of the first crossover BMW. - quite. \\ M.

BMW X1 Diesel delight on DRIVE2.RU

Everything in life sometime happens for the first time. For me, this car is not only the first car brand BMW - it's just a storehouse of new products:

First in life diesel engine, first automatic transmission, first four-wheel drive, first leather interior. For the first time my car is dark outside and light from the inside, and not the opposite. Yes, what is there to talk, even such trifles like xenon, fog, climate control, parking sensors, rain and light sensors, the start of the engine by the button came to my life only with this car.

Diesel or Gasoline - Logbook BMW X6 A2PERFORMANCE_56 2012 on DRIVE2

Greetings! Consider a comparison of two engines working on multiple video Fuel on the example of BMW X6 E71 in restyled performance and stock state!

Gasoline engine N55 306 hp and 400 N.m and diesel N57 245 hp and 520 N.M.

Let's consider the pros and cons of the ownership of the car with a diesel engine. Pluses: 1) Tax rate transport tax Up to 250 hp, it is 75r for the horse \u003d 18375r per year.2) The average fuel consumption in the area 12l per 100km, for a car weighing more than 2 tons. This is a great figure! 3) in urban traffic is quite dynamic.

4) liquid version on secondary marketBased on the first two points!

Cons: 1) The smell of the exhaust is practically constantly outside, when opening windows, in closed rooms and over the years in the cabin, a characteristic smell is maintained. 2) In the parking rates, uncomfortable-journey 3) at refueling speeds, especially in winter it is necessary to use henchmen Hygiene, in order to launder the hands evained about the indention pistol!

4) No caressing rumor, engine sound.

Now consider the advantages of the ownership of a car with a gasoline engine! Pluses: 1) Elastic, high-breeding engine with characteristic sound Row six 2) At high speeds and turnover, power supply is felt.

3) Excellent shows itself in winter.

Cons: 1) Tax rate 150r per hp \u003d 45900r per year! 2) Average consumption of 16 liters. 100 km.3) There is a BTA when overclocking.

4) Cars in similar configuration and price purchased new ones, on the secondary market of cheapers of their diesel fellows!

I will not argue with reliability, any engines happen troubles ..., although there are rumors that N57 is the most reliable engine BMW. I will not become with you, but I once didn't get lucky with him, and on a funny mileage he crumbled ... I wrote about it here

Simple and affordable language I tried to highlight the main differences, as I often ask me what is better! I can answer so, have to choose his own and choose

My choice is gasoline N55 ... "Why? 1) Tax Personally I have 22950p22) The cost of fuel is not significant for me for me, because the runs are not big! 3) Blind easily falls)) Chip A2PerFormance taxes.

4) on cars in a decent state there is always a buyer)

Well, my favorite is my phrase: where the turnover of the diesel engine ends (ie, prematurely ejaculation), the engine of gasoline only starts (all that was before this prelude).

All good)

Let's talk a little about the comparative evolution of the development of motor construction on the example of diesel engines BMW. - They clearly illustrate almost all known trends in this area. For simplicity, on the example of generally accepted stamps.

"Pulls like diesel", "moment like a diesel engine" and so on ...
Subjective impressions of the "Taplessity" of modern diesel engines are associated with the presence of a turbocharger system. Atmospheric diesel engines have practically emerged from use - a noticeable peak shift of the moment characteristic to the region low speed would not be so noticeable in their case, as in the case of a comparison of the modern turbodiesel engine with atmospheric gasoline. In the absolute numbers, comparable in terms of the design volumes of the visible difference do not demonstrate, both in the turbo and in the "atmospheric" version.

To understand this fact, we compare the first "mechanical" "atmosphere" -dizel BMW M21 with its direct relative - gasoline "M20". With almost identical working volume, the power indicators are not in favor of diesel engines: 86/4600 and 171/5800. Moment 152/2500 versus 226/4000! Two simple outputs: diesel has simply a smaller working range, which previously reaches the maximum power and moment, but has a lower specific power and moment. Any motor is the "designer" - add a turbine - we get the version of the M21 "Turbo" - the moment is now easily catching up with a gasoline motor in an absolute value and is almost compared with it. Add even further cooling air - and overtaken gasoline at a specific point. All this can be observed by the evolution of the next generation diesel engines - M51. There was a purely turbocharged version and an intercooler version. Dependencies are the same - the moment about (turbine) or a little more (turbine + intercooler), but the power is significantly less than the modern gasoline version of the M50. No wonders.

However, the turbine is flexible tool - the evolutionary development of the BMW N57 diesel engine soon confidently overtook the atmospheric - 286 hp and 580 nm! No atmospheric BMW M54 nearly stood with its 231 hp and 300 nm.

Well, it would seem, the parallel development of various technologies should continue to breed diesel and gasoline.

Nothing like this! Modern gasoline motor is now equipped direct injection and the turbine, and the sound of a modern diesel engine is already difficult to distinguish from a gasoline engine with direct injection.

In motion, expressed "petrol" M50, M52 and S54 motors were impossible to confuse with diesel contemporaries - M51 and M57 - their moment characteristics were almost mirrored, and the operating range could be different almost twice. Gasoline was driving proportionally revolutions - the more cheer, the faster you are going, the diesel engine began to pull almost immediately, but quickly "faded".

Today, a modern turbocharged version of the gasoline engine of type N54 or N55 is distinguished from the diesel N57 only for sensations from a shorter working range.

A comparison of torque characteristics At first glance demonstrates noticeable differences from the motors of the first generations - a long shelf of the moment 1400-5000 appeared at the gasoline motor - almost all working character. In comparable in terms of the characteristics of the diesel engine, it also seems to be a shelf, but incomparably narrower - no more than 1000 revolutions. Forced versions of the "shelf" are narrowed, and a diesel engine is up to a width of only 225 revolutions!

The dependence is very simple - the further we move towards the forcing the characteristics of the motor, the greater the moment characteristic - in a diesel engine towards low revolutions, in gasoline - in the direction of high ... where it began to thirty years ago, to how much strangely, and Came. Another conclusion: a modern "shelf" gasoline unit is clearly less forced than its diesel analog.

In the absolute, new diesel engines even slightly overtake gasoline colleagues at the time, but the integral moment (the characteristic of the moment, depending on the revolutions) gasoline DVS Noticeably wider.

Diesel is more economical
Principle itself diesel economy (compression ignition) is no more economical - diesel fuel is even somewhat inferior in the calorie content of combustion. It would seem that everything solves the degree of compression (excess superior) - it is above about one and a half or twice. The above compression is higher than the efficiency. Above the efficiency - below the specific consumption. About 30% of real savings on average fuel consumption are quite achievable. In fact, a large role plays the possibility of working a diesel engine on extremely poor blends in the field of partial loads and idling - the most sought-after modes in the city. City consumption of modern diesel engine from BMW - 11-12 liters. Gasoline comparable power in the same movement rhythm - well, no less than 15-16.

In the route, with equal speed, Engine expenses different types Almost indistinguishable. A noticeable difference only in more favorable diesel urban conditions.

Diesel ecological
Diesel is truly relatively environmentally friendly, but with modern methods of neutralization (thermal neutralizers based on rare earth elements) Petrol motor preferably - it has a lower efficiency, therefore more high temperature exhaust gases. The system of neutralization of diesel engines in practice is more complex and expensive. But the theme of the ecology has long flowed from the channel practical nature in the direction of politics.

Diesel is more reliable and has a greater resource
The problem of reliability and resource consists of a large number of components. There is no definite answer. If we talk about the practical side of the case, in relation to the Moscow operation, in general this statement is true. Upon closer examination of specific cases of defects and breakdowns, it can be noted that the gasoline motor is cheating cheaper and technologically in repair. However modern model, the less noticeable the difference in technology and the cost of repair. The times of primitive designs of gasoline engines, when the difference between them and dieselks was exhausted indeed expensive fuel equipment, already passed. The difference in principle is exhausted already almost only by the thermal regime of operation - and here the diesel wins - it is noticeably colder. The more modernly becoming "practice", the closer the "theory" turned out. Previously, the diesel Millionnic Motor was atmospheric and deformed. Now - just cold. But this turned out to be enough to have a noticeably more resource subject to the rules of operation.

Many people buying themselves vehicle carefully approach the choice of the car. They look not only on the company made this car, and its modification, but also pay attention to the complete set of cars.

And there is nothing surprising in this, since two outwardly similar to each other cars do differently during operation. The main difference is the engine. And here the car owners appear a completely reasonable question: "diesel or gasoline - what is better?". On gasoline, the car seems to be familiar and is much cheaper (by 10-20%), but but the diesel is cheaper to refuel at gas stations. Also, almost all made cars claim that diesel is more economical consumed by the engine of the car.

Doubts for motorists

Ask "experienced" motorists, which is better - gasoline or diesel, is useless, as each of them speaks his. Some claim that diesel is impossible to start a diesel in the winter or when refueling bad fuel "flies" the entire system, the replacement of which will cost thousands of dollars.

Others say that these are all fictions, and the breakdowns occurred from the incompetence of the drivers themselves.

Because of such confusion, we decided to figure out these questions and find out where the truth is, and where the fiction.

Diesel or gasoline - what is better and what is the difference?

Unfortunately, the question of what is different is different from the other, also "hangs in the air", since the experts themselves can not clearly explain it. And the "Lark" opens simply.

In the gasoline engine, the pair of fuel, stirring with air, flamm yourself from the spark that is formed from the car candle. And in a diesel version, the pair is self-turn under the influence of compressed air temperature. This causes a diverse approach to the designs of parts and technical features engines. For example, a "diesel" instead of the ignition system, the incandescent candles are installed, and all the components of the diesel engine are made of massive and durable materials, which are designed for a strong "explosion" during fuel detonation.

Pluses of a diesel car

A car on this fuel is though more profitable, but the capriciety is used. But let's first list the positive sides of this car:

Efficiency - fuel consumption less than 20-30%.

Operation - the service life of the diesel engine is twice as much as the gasoline (about a million kilometers without serious repair).

Fuel is cheaper by 10-20%.

There is no ignition system in the design, and it means it is more reliable.

Increased environmental friendliness - carbon dioxide level is very small, and smoke and soot come out only of faulty engines.

It would seem that weighing all the advantages of such a car, you can already immediately resolve the question: "What is better - gasoline or diesel?". However, these cars have their own negative sides.

Cons "Diesel"

The motor system is unstable to entering poor-quality fuels in it - the nozzles are "flying" quickly.

Maintenance costs a few percent more expensive than that of a gasoline car.

It is necessary for a long time to heal, and during the trip, especially at the beginning, a little "knocks".

The popularity of diesel cars

Studies of international experts show that a quarter of all new cars in the world converging from conveyors is equipped with a diesel power unit. Every year, the reputation of these machines is only grows. If 10-15 years ago only every tenth car was "diesel", then, according to experts, by 2018, each third car will be equipped with this type of engine.

The reasons for such pace are obvious - the rise in price of gasoline prices and constant hard control over environmental norms of automotive exhaust emissions. Also such cars can be filled with biofuels (rape).

However, despite the great benefits of acquiring such a car, in our country there is throwing about what is better - gasoline or diesel, they still decide money. After all, a gasoline car is 20% cheaper than diesel, and when this difference will pay off, I don't want to wait.

Winter and Motor Problems

Almost every professional, disassembling in the automotive theme, argues that problems with the diesel system may occur in the winter, if you fill in the car that does not apply to the diesel season. After all, the diesel fuel in its characteristics is divided into summer and winter. So, the first diesel category is at least in summer and cheaper by 25%, but the temperature of the frost is -50 C. Winter diesel brass does not freeze to -350 C.

Therefore, the gas station should deliver only seasonal DT. But, unfortunately, this is not always done. In addition, most of the refills are trying to split the remains of a summer diesel engine when frost has already hit the street. Thus, the owner of the car, which refuel its diesel car with the unreasonable fuel, can get serious engine problems.

But still…

Despite all weak sides Diesel engines, most people who enjoy such cars do not even consider the question of what is better - gasoline or diesel. After all, competently exploiting the car on such a fuel, you can ride it for a very long time. So, there are cases when the owners of diesel cars traveled on them for 20 years, having a mileage of about one million kilometers, while mileage gasoline cars The same models were limited to the maximum of 500 thousand. If a person buys an expensive car, then there is reason to take a diesel version.

Also cars for DT are much more economical. 100 kilometers of diesel engines spend fuel 3-4 liters, which is 2-3 times less than gasoline. Due to this, within 2-3 years of constant operation of the car, you can recoup the difference in price.

BMW: diesel or gasoline - what is better?

Judging by the reviews of the owners of those or other models of the BMW family, preference gives exactly a gasoline option. Although, again, it is most likely a tribute to tradition. The gasoline unit, of course, where as stronger than its diesel "fellow". If you want to feel the "Spirit of Speed", then you should choose the car on such a traction. However, such a "horse" loves to eat well - fuel consumption is 10-15 liters / 100 kilometers.

At the same time, the diesel version offers a more relaxed and comfortable ride and fuel consumption will not exceed 6 liters. But, as the owners notice, the engine is hung hard at the car at idle, and an easy vibration is felt in the cabin. Yes, and the cost of a diesel engine is 200-300 thousand more than a gasoline analogue.

The survey was conducted among BMW X5 car owners. Each of them emphasized the merits of its model and the disadvantages of the other. For BMW x5 diesel or gasoline - what is better? Choose enough not easy. It all depends on the needs of the future owner.

What kind of UAZ choose?

But the opinions of the owners of the UAZ "Patriot" are inclined more to a diesel version. After all, he "eats" within 8-10 liters / 100 kilometers and this is when the air conditioner is enabled and the car is 2.5 tons. However, problems arise when refueling the car by poor-quality fuel, which can easily "kill" a diesel engine, and repair it will remove the last pants. Yes, and in the winter period, it is necessary to warm up longer.

But, despite these minuses, people are still on the question of what UAZ is better - "diesel" or "gasoline", the first option is advised, since the gasoline model consumes an average of 15 liters / 100 kilometers. If carefully refers to your " iron horse"It will last for a long time, without serious breakdowns.

If the owner often rides the car, then the economic component of the question: "UAZ" Patriot "diesel or gasoline - what is better?" Definitely outweighs the first option.

Kia "Sorento"

With such criteria, people are approaching the choice of car models Kia "Sorento". Despite the fact that the diesel engine warms longer, it may fail due to the inconcepting fuel, and the repair will pull it on tens of thousand rubles, the positions of people are unequivocal. Kia "Sorento" diesel or gasoline - what is better? For users, this is not a question, because the first option is much more preferable to the latter, despite the capriciousness of the diesel unit to meteo conditions and the quality of the fuel. After all, the gasoline model in winter consumes up to 20 liters of fuel, and in the summer at speed - about 14. At the same time, the diesel modification spends in the municipal mode of about 10-11 liters.

It is this reason that causes car owners to choose a car with a diesel engine, and find high-quality fuel to date - not a problem. There are many brand, authoritative gas stations, where they sell seasonal high-quality DT.

"Renault Duster"

But the attitude towards this car is exactly the opposite. Car owners have no doubt what model to buy. "Renault Duster" gasoline or diesel - what is better? The variant of the vehicle has weak engine (90 horsepower), overclocking time - about 16 seconds, in winter it may not even get started and costs almost 100 thousand rubles more expensive than gasoline "fellow".

However, we meet again with a certain approach to transport technology. Because there are no problems in diesel force aggregateIf you ride in normal mode, and refueling with high-quality fuel on proven and authoritative gas stations.

Motoblocks

"What motoblock is better - diesel or gasoline?" - this question is asked by many agricultures and simple peoplewho wish to buy an assistant on economic and home affairs. There are many fans of both the same option and the other. So, diesel is 3-4 times more and harder than gasoline. But fuel consumption is 2-5 liters / 100 kilometers, which will allow together with the wise operation quickly recoup the device.

Gasoline motoblock is easier and maneuverable, it is cheaper in operation and repair, it is easier to start it in winter, if you need to clean the area from snow. But there is a significant minus: it is filled with high-quality 92th gasoline, and better than 95th, while the consumption of fuel is 1-2 liters per hour, depending on the model and power of the motor-block, and the diesel version of the same model "eats" 300 milliliters at one o'clock.

But still gasoline aggregates are in great demand, as they are less demanding and capricious in operation.

Output

Summing up all the above, we come to the conclusion that it is difficult to choose from these two options for some better. Each person for himself makes the choice itself in its needs and opportunities. After all, the answer to the question of which engine is better - "diesel" or "gasoline" lies in the plane of personal preferences.

So, a diesel engine is much more economical than gasoline. Savings consists in the amount of fuel consumed and in the cost of refueling the vehicle, as well as in the environmental operation of such a motor. More such cars are more resistant to wear engine components. But it's all his positive sides. And then continuous minuses begin.

The diesel engine during operation makes more noise and vibrations. He is very fasting to the quality of fuel refilling. If there are practically no problems in Europe, then in our country many gas stations (thank God, not all) can sell you a base and non-seasonal fuel, which will lead to a breakdown of the engine, and the repair will drag it on a round sum. Also because of the poor-quality soloar, the car may not start in winter at all.

Diesels, in contrast to gasoline vehicle, have less power, you must constantly monitor the oil level in the system.

Therefore, the conclusion and recommendations may be such: if purchased expensive carwhich is often going to use, the best choice will be diesel. Only in this case it is necessary to constantly monitor the quality of the fuel, refueling on time-tested and refueling.

If an ordinary inexpensive car of small power or a small car is acquired, it is best to take a gasoline option, since there will be no big benefit in diesel, but the trouble is less.

BMW X6 E71 - diesel or gasoline? On the russian market The crossover comes with two versions of the motor - diesel N57 and gasoline N55.

Diesel has a capacity of 245 horses and torque in 520 N.M., gas engine Has cravings in 306 hp And torque in 400 N.M. What is better to choose?

Pros and cons of diesel

Its advantages include:

1. The average fuel consumption of 12 l / 100 km - good indicator For a machine weighing 2 tons.
2. Reduced tax rate (as for auto power up to 250 hp) - 75 p for " horsepower" Total 18 375 p per year.
3. Good movement dynamics in urban conditions.
4. Engine reliability.
5. Do not audible sounding motor.
6. High demand for this car on the used car market.

Disadvantages of a machine with a diesel engine:

• Permanent smell of exhaust diesel fuel near the car. Through the open windows penetrates inside, gradually impregnating the interior.
• At low speeds (during parking), the car behaves Dergano.
• At the gas station you need to use napkins to wipe your hands, stained about the gun.
• Not audible engine (minus from the point of view of individual drivers).

Pros and cons of gasoline motor

Advantages:

• high power, "revolutions";
• quick speed;
• good power supply on high revolutions;
• improved, compared to diesel, work in the cold season.

Disadvantages:

• high tax rate - 150 r per hp, total 45,900 rubles per year;
• increased flow fuel - 16 l / 100 km;
• characteristic "BCA" when setting speed;
• loss of price when resale - in the secondary market "Petrol" model costs significantly less "diesel".

One of these flaws is "BCA" when overclocking is easy to eliminate the use of the A2 Performance chip.

What to choose?

Deciding what to choose - diesel or gasoline BMW X6 E71can be guided by the above considerations. If you move more in the city, it is logical to make a choice in favor of a diesel engine, since it has less fuel consumption.
