Time to discuss the real legend in the automotive industry BMW M3 E30. The car that won 1,500 official races. At the same time, more powerful cars with full drive competed in the class, but they lagged behind. The car is proof that in the car the main thing is not the amount of horsepower, but balancedness. It is the genes of this car are in modern BMW M-series.

History of car creation

The car was created to compete with a sedan from Mercedes 190 E 2.5-16. In 1985, the Director General of BMW Eberhard von Künheim decided to make a powerful version of the sedan, which would fit for urban roads. He turned to his best engineer Paul Rocher with a given goal. Paul Roche created the unit for Formula 1, which brought the BMW champion team. This man very much loved to calculate the camshafts, because of which his colleagues in a joke called a paul-cam.

The great engineer was inspired by the idea and began to develop. At first he planned to make a 6-cylinder motor, but quickly abandoned this idea, since when calculating it was found that crankshaft Big sized created a large amount of vibrations. It was decided not to make anything conceptually new to creating a motor, so the engineer took the 6-cylinder head of the engine from BMW M1 and transferred it to the 4-cylinder unit M3 by shuffling. The recycled head became an ordinary cast iron block of cylinders from the previous BMW series. It turned out that new aggregatewhich in the future became legendary collected "from what was at hand."

The unit produced in just 14 days, so he was called: S14.. This motor without problems could withstand the load of 10 thousand revolutions per minute. Machines were produced with a catalytic neutralizer of exhaust gases and without it. The device reduced the release of CO 2, which at that time was an innovation. The only disadvantage of the neutralizer was to reduce the power of a motor for 5 horsepower.

At the first test engine company BMW Faced a problem. The exhaust manifold of the car was so raised from exhaust gases, which increased by 2.5 centimeters, from which the pipes fly away or burst. The problem was rapidly solved by upgrading the rubber elements of the connection.

The car began to be sold in 1986. During the year it was necessary to release 5,000 such cars, which gave them the right to participate in races. The sales department was very skeptical, since the M-series was one and a half times more expensive than the usual E30 with a 2.5-liter motor. However, the car was very much loved by the public.

Apartment BMW M3 E30

Not a dismantling person, looking at him, will not see anything special. The car is very similar to the ordinary BMW E30, it differs externally with the following elements:

• Sports bumper;
• Side body extensions;
• Plastic spoiler;
• Higher trunk;
• Sports discs;
• Sport brake calipers.

In fact, there is no same in this car body spare parts The same as the usual E30. The aerodynamic body kit was made not to reduce the windshield resistance of the air, but to increase the clamping force. The trunk lid is higher than in the usual E30. This is done to load the rear spoiler with a large air flow.

Externally, the car may seem square, but the aerodynamics coefficient is 0.35. For example, the same coefficient of the 1991 issue. The mass of the car is only 1165 kg. Before that car, all M-series did not differ from the usual machines, so it was from her that BMW began to make aerodynamic collaps on the M-Series. As it turned out, it raised sales of cars by 30 percent.

Salon M3 E30.

Such a feeling that this car was developed not only engineers and designers, but also psychologists. Everything in the cabin is done to provoke the driver to drive faster. To understand this, you just need to sit in this car. Sports landing, seats with very powerful side support, tachometer with a "red" zone for 8 thousand revs, sports steering wheel, sensors made to the center panel and the geometry of the torpedo, twisted to the driver. This all suggests that the car is not created for passengers, but for the driver.

Even to this day, being in the salon of this BMW, you feel comfort, silence and excellent build quality. Being behind the wheel of such a 30-year instance in the cabin at the speed of non-hear noise.

The main advantage and heart of this car: motor S14B23.. Only 4 cylinders in the cast-iron block, no turbines and the availability of individual throttle valve For each combustion chamber. The motor was not created for sales and target audience, but for racing competitions. It turns out that the manufacturer allowed people to acquire a racing supercar for everyday ride.

BMW M3 E30 engine block took from m10 motorwhich was installed on 1000-strong class "Formula 1". The motor was developed in a very short time: only 2 weeks.

Such an economy developed 200 horsepower and accelerated the car until hundreds of only 6.7 seconds. Modern motors With this volume, "squeeze" 170 horsepower, and BMW 30 years ago achieved power in the whole 200 hp, taking into account the lack of turbocharging.

The problem of the motor was only the absence of hydrocompensators. This led to the fact that once in 70 thousand kilometers had to be adjusted valve. With the exception of this, the motor does not have constructive miscalculations, and many of it still consider one of the best engines In the history of BMW, thanks to magnificent reliability in such a high forcedness.

The sensations from the motor are very contradictory. First, we do not expect fast acceleration from such a small volume, secondly, the car slowly accelerates to 4,000 revolutions, after which the M3 E30 M3 E30 engine starts his life. On the upper turns there is such a strong tide of power, that the driver is very pressing into the seat. When switching gear, you expect that the failure will be in power again, but this does not happen. The bottom line is that the BMW engineers specifically picked up such a gear ratio in the transmission, which when switching gears to 7,000 turns, the motor switches to 5 thousand revolutions. It turns out that the car is rapidly accelerated from the second on sixth gear without power failures, which is necessary in races.

The transmission is designed so that the car can accelerate rapidly, but it has poorly reflected on maximum speed. The transmissions are very short, so high speed has a big noise. The car feels more confident in turns than on the direct portions of the track.

Suspension BMW M3 E30

This is a living example of how you can definitely configure an ordinary suspension for perfect management. The rear suspension was designed in the 70s and is very simple. Consists of simple diagonal swinging levers. Front cost.

Having learned the composition of the suspension, it may seem that there is nothing unusual in it. At ordinary modern credit cars more difficult chassis. But the essence of excellent manageability is to accurately adjust this simple suspension and the pressure force provided by the body.

The car very accurately responds to the slightest turn of the steering wheel. To put the car in the drift is not difficult, and it is easily and removed from the managed drift. This helps the electronic blocking of the differential, which was innovation in the 1980s.

If everyone sports cars Very tough and uncomfortable, it cannot be said about BMW M3 E30. BMW Motorsport So configured the suspension that the car was also comfortable with its magnificent control. Reviewing the car on the irregularities of the road rather elastic than tough. It is from this car and began the essence BMW M-Series: mixture of comfort and sports ride. This quality and is a trump card series, because the same Ferrari and Lamborghini with their magnificent driving characteristics are very hard and uncomfortable cars.

Prices

The car is very rare, since only 16,202 such copies were released. On our roads it is practically unrealistic to see. Abroad, in the West, the cheapest model with a mileage of 200 thousand kilometers costs 46 thousand dollars. The most expensive M3 E30 with mileage of 10 thousand kilometers costs 200 thousand dollars. It is twice as much as it costs from the cabin.

Why are these cars such big price tags? The answer lies in the many years of sports history of this car. It's not just a car made for lovers fast driving - This is a car designed for real racing. The car has a magnificent motor. For example, if the new m3 will drive 100 thousand km without any problems, then M3 E30 will drive three times more.

Conclusion

This car is a favorite in motor racing for many years. More powerful all-wheel drive rivals against him could not do anything. Engineers have proven to the world that for victory in racing the main thing is not power, but a balance of the car. Today's popularity of BMW is obliged to this model, because it was she who declared the manufacturer as a company that makes high-quality sports cars for everyday ride. BMW M3 E30 - a car that gave rise to fashion on sports sedans Urban type.

Video

Limited versions of cars always attract valid fans of technology. Pride, superiority, satisfaction experiences car owners stuffed with individual equipment, and sometimes (if you take sports cars) and devoid of many of the options in the sake of speed and weight. Some of these cars become bestsellers even during release, some acquire value at the occasion of the years. As a rule, automakers are laying a decent difference in price, compared with more common versions, for example, the BMW M3 CSL about which will be discussed, which has a factory index of the E46 body in 2003, it cost 20,000 dollars more expensive than the BMW M3 mass model of the same year.

Of course, the material value is not the main component of the BMW M3 CSL, in the first place is the feeling that opens the car for your owner. It seems almost identical cars, have absolutely different characters.

For the first time I met CSL in 2005, when the BMW M Power Club was created, one of the club participants acquired a car for the first trades in Russia. At that time, communication with cars M series was limited, avalanche-like experience with EMCI was acquired a little later after the formation of the car club, but it was not difficult to understand how the version of the BMW M3 Tsl from the more mass EMCI was completely different.

INTERIOR

Finding into the M3 CSL salon you understand how easy it is simplicity and minimalism, combined with expensive materials and technologies. Most of the options that are not required for the production of adrenaline are excluded from the car, so the dashboard has a minimum of control keys by various systems. Here you will not find the air conditioner *, TV, heating seats and other non-pleasure, not required by the car for fan.

* - Optionally, some positions could be installed at the factory when ordering a car. Although there are instances even without the simplest radio.

All elements of the cabin besides the dashboard, are made of carbon, in 2003 such widespread use of composite materials was rare not only for BMW, but also for automotive industry as a whole. In the previous limited version of the BMW M3 GT in the Body E36 also used cabin plates from carbon, but it was only 4 elements, and here the entire central console, door trim, and the housing of the rear seat, in general, everything is not from Alcantara.

Auto control bodies are also simple and very comfortable. The thick boom of the steering wheel was covered with rare, large "hairless" Alcantara makes firmly to keep the wheel of a car with a sharp religion, situations with hand slippers are excluded here, but if you exploit a similar car without gloves, it will plant and lose my qualities after a while. It may not be possible to alter such a steering wheel, as such a material is sold as a "bald", that is, Alcantara with a small pile.

Since multimedia systems are either excluded in this car, or installed in the lowest configuration itself, so there is only one button "M" everything else is removed as an excess.

The pilot throne is convenient, good side support as a pelvis with hips and backs. The material on the seats was also used as in the cabin exclusively Alcantara, the spin sweats smaller from it and it is not so slippery as the skin. It is almost racing bucket, also with the function of rejoicing to access passengers to rear seats, By the way, in experimental purposes, I traveled a couple of times behind, honestly admit if you move quite dynamically, there really can be crashing about solid panels. Since the seats are made not in the usual way, in fact they are made of plastic and carbon with boilers from carbon. The minus the seats are still there, for some reason I ignored the central holes in the back under the belts, it's really very big minus, of course in the car there is a road three-point strap, but on the track he is like a dog's fifth leg, so everyone who drives on the track The track is either tormented with it, or change the chairs, disturbing the authenticity.

After turning the ignition key, the car is filled with a funny sound, on the one hand he clearly makes it clear that under the hood there is a powerful engine, but at the same time you will not hear a powerful low bass, the BMW company has created an excellent symbiosis of a powerful lever and a shrill metal formula car. Who heard the sound of the CSL model never confuses it not with one other cars, except that people are not able to distinguish the car from the toaster. 🙂

Concept - in this form, the CSL appeared before the public

EXTERIOR

External differences in the body are not given not so many elements, the BMW M series has always adhered to the philosophy of a wolf into a sheep skyr. The bumper is made of carbon fiber and painted in body color. The front bumper has a more muscular look, a large hole for air inbox and aileron from carbon-producing additional pressure force. The rear bumper is practically identical with the standard M3 E46, but in addition it has a lower diffuser from the carbon fiber. At all M3 TsV, the carbon cap, it allows you to lower the center of gravity, which undoubtedly has a positive effect on handling and reduce the total weight of the car, the difference between the lightweight version and mass 110 kg. From external signs, the differences are completed, the original and thin and thin rear glass Not visible to the inhabitant and is not even a small signboard "CSL" in a decorative lattice on the wing issues a car belonging to the legendary breed. CSL Abrecyture - deciphered as Coupe Sport Light In the 70s, such marking had cars prepared for highway-ring races that brought BMW a huge amount of victories in battles with other automakers. The journalists were called "Batmobiles" for pronounced developed forms of body elements.

ENGINE

M3 CSL engine with the same marking S54B32 as the usual m3, but there is as the nuance says. Engineers changed the inlet system by leaving the standard scheme with air flow meter, so to speak the racing technology. Externally, the engine can be distinguished by a large intake manifold from carbon with a huge inlet for incidence. Thanks to the collector and other engine software, the car's capacity was raised from 343 hp. (European version) up to 360. Like the engine, the new firmware received a sequenal gearbox, on the TSL version it works much faster and tougher.

SUSPENSION

And at the end of the description of the aggregates, I would like to write about the suspension and the brake system, it is these things that make a significant contribution to the car management. The TSSL version received its own suspension: shock absorbers with their settings, other springs and thicker stabilizers. Like others bMW cars All this set was hung on the legendary highway Nürburgring, where the factory copy drove 22 km in just 7 minutes 50 seconds is completely in factory execution.

Torkemose

Brake system. For some reason, the plant specialists did not install monoblock brake mechanisms on the car, and left a floating cleaner caliper, increasing only the diameter of the brake discs and change the caliper bracket under them. Although it should be noted that the brake dynamics of the TsSl is not bad enough, the engineers have picked up the brake system pushing out from the total weight of the car.

Polusalk

And of course tires, it is these hard workers who breeze wild overloads of the car while maintaining the BMW M3 TSL receiver for road surface. From the factory, tires were installed from Michelin. Pilot Sport Cup The first generation of pollinks in those year enjoyed popular with automakers for installation in the primary configuration from the factory to their powerful and limited versions. When buying a BMW M3 CSL from a dealer, clients handed out brochures that the tire exploitation is sufficiently dangerous for the non-advanced driver with a wet coverage.

The restrictions on the TSL model were seen several. In addition to preventing the danger of the car operation in the rain on the "kapakh", all cars from Novya had an electronic collar with an understatement of the maximum speed of up to 260 km / h. Only after the trigger and end of the BMW driver's skills client (clients in the UK, a one-day course accounted for 850 pounds), a restricter was filmed at the service station, after which the car accelerated to 305 km / h. (Verified personally)

About 8 years have been banned and components from the TSS version, spare parts on this machine could be ordered solely upon presentation of the vehicle's vehicle, thereby emphasized the exclusivity of the version and in every way prevented the installation of parts for machines without covert marking.

TEST DRIVE

It so happened that the first time my acquaintance with the TCL occurred on the Moscow region of the ball in mechkovo. Then we organized the first Trekdni club M POWER with Lotus brand lovers. Ride not so much people who are going today, but there was a sufficient choice of cars and people then just started divided by the nuances of their cars and test different cars interlocutors. Literally a couple of races were divided between sessions on M3 E46 and similar versions of CSL. In a non-limited version with indicators in stock, everything is fine, we can say that this model is already ready for trekjins especially at the initial level of piloting. The suspension stiffness is enough, the braking speaker is sufficient despite the total weight of 1495 kg. The car is easily angry in turns demonstrating a small neutral turning, it is now relevant on the trekjdes and championships, but already with significant modifications.

When leaving M3 E46, I immediately drove in the next session on my BMW M3 E36 car, despite its lighter weight (100 kg) the car in the factory execution is not as good as other generations M3. E36 is a very sluggish soft suspension, thin stabilizers transverse stability And absolutely disgusting brake mechanisms for the track. Then my car was not prepared as now, but from the spaces described above, I got rid at that time. The next session ended, the time of BMW M3 CSL came. We got into the car and driving in Pitleyna, stopped waiting for the Green Marshal Lights. Immediately managed to assess the convenience of the seats and the pleasant sound of the engine at idle. True, a light resonance was sometimes heard from carbon panels, now they are very skillfully removed by the reservers worker. The problem is of course for the punching formist is a topical, but at a quarter of gas, the sound in the car is only one, it is very correct and emotional.

And here is the green light ... we went ...

Seamlessly tear away from the spot intensively gaining the speed before the first turn. We go carefully tires while cold and brakes are not prohibited. This is the first round. The last turn, the finish straight and foot pressed the pedal until the stop. Input in turn. It's a completely different car, there is no hint on neutrality, it's a feeling that the car always goes where you want, a different suspension, the settings of the collapse and weight - gave this car a lot. Again, intensive acceleration, a completely cosmic sound publishes the CSL in full opening of chokes, carbon intake manifold of a large amount of volume. This sound is not confused with anything. The wild powerful bass cuts the air both outside and inside the car, such a feeling is experiencing a person being in the cabin, as if he sees the air shock. Really I caught myself thinking that these are hallucinations, but hesitations were repeated in unison with a press on the gas pedal. Again a bunch of slow turns after straight and m3 willingly ships into each of them. Small straight and again slow turn. We approach, we start up and immediately begin acceleration in turn. There is no hint of a drift or plow, (breaking the front axle to the outward turn when an excess speed) The car is clearly moving along the trajectory written in the head of the pilot, again accelerated straight and without a gas reset begins smooth bengling - a long radius rotation with a slight tilt of the web. We go on high speed with a pedal in the floor, there is no hint of a skid, the car clung to the asphalt as sticking, only a little felt like rubber trinked.

Tires work out 100% at that time it was one of the best options. Continues Benking, 150 meter straight, and then slow stud. Wild acceleration after overclocking in the crash and on the right went faded racks with many meters to turn, the fraction of seconds 200 ... 150 ... 100 ... 50 ... Smooth blow to the floor brake pedal, the breathtaking automatic passages of the SMG box and the cabin participants hang on the belts. A sharp steering wheel with a constant acceleration, late input, the left front wheel was touched before the internal welbble with the late Axx and again quickly pressing the pedal. TsSl How to shoot a gun from a slow and narrow hairpin, further again light reverse benging and the second part of the track called technical, it consists of a large number of slow bonds of turns. When finding the right path and here the BMW rushes to the cherished goal quickly. And now the last slow turn before the finish line, the car crosses the timing ray and we go to the cooled circle and check-in in the boxes.

Let's leave the car a little exhausted and happy, both blissful smile. The car is very emotional, rather one of the most emotional on which I traveled, and this is almost all that is represented in Moscow. This car is exactly the soul. The soul impregnated with gasoline, ready to blame at the first requirement of the owner. We have not yet long for a car - a drinking smell of tires, pads and clutch can not leave any amateur indifferent fast cars On the planet, this taste will be learned from a million even closed eyes.

I press the crab, thank my comrade for the test.

BMW M3 CSL in Russia

In Russia, unfortunately, a very limited number of these wonderful cars, as we know their number is only 7 cars. Six of them chose a rates for its technical support. One car seventh is not operated for more than 10 years. Just a few cars were purchased from the dealer with new not officially, the rest in Russia fell with mileage. The most common color of the CSL version is gray, but cars and black were collected, one of them was also a client of a ramport. For the period of 2017, only one car remained in Russia, the statistics of sadness were now, everyone else left Russia in the period 2015-2016, as many rare cars and sports cars were emigrated back to Europe. In the peak of a wild difference in courses, the time it was like a gold fever.

Instance 1.

This is the first copy of the BMW M Power Russia Club and also our first client CSL. 70,000 km of running of them 60,000 on the track. 3 years the car lived on Nürburgring. Rayport specialists in addition to maintenance, I installed a large number of components that improve handling and braking dynamics on this machine, we also eliminated the standard disease for M3 - this is a torn floor in the rear beam area. The car is returned to the factory configuration and sold to Europe.

Instance2.

A copy with the most minimal mileage of up to 10,000 km, the car previously visited amateur trekdni, is now practically not exploited. This is the only car that remains in Russia. Reseasports only regulated on it.

Instance3.

This instance was first reached to us with a prescribed compressor from G-POWER, unfortunately the whale was installed not correctly and after running the 900km piston group sat down into the engine tray due to software and not correctly selected pulley. Motorist company Rayport completely went over the engine and returned the motor completely into the factory execution. The car visited Trekdni in Russia and Europe, so we also installed this TSL screw suspension, Adjustable levers and brake mechanisms Brembo. After 4 years, the car was returned to the factory configuration and sold to Europe.

Instance4.

BMW M3 CSL with Sverdlovsk numbers was with a transit only a couple of times, we eliminated the reinforcement problems. The car has already for several years on the road of Europe.

Instance5.

TsSl painted black from the plant, not much at all, and in Russia he was the only one. We conducted an extensive list of works on this car after his adventure in Sochi. But unfortunately during sales boom, like many others, this TSL went to Europe. We even called us from Austria from Austria from the car dealership, asked to confirm our marks in the service book about the passage.

Instance6.

This TSL climbed to us only once, also transit from the Baltic. The car is not assembled at the BMW plant, but in Hartge and has its own VIN applied by Borders. 🙂 Machine so to speak with an extended complete set. As you can see with a large monitor, leather wheel instead of an alcantar rim, the handle of the gear selector from the E60 M5 and brake mechanisms of Brembo.

The concern plans to build 1000 copies of M3 CSL, but demand increased and production plans moved almost to one and a half thousand. 500 cars were planned to be implemented in the UK, but only 422 copies with the right wheel reached their owners. In England, TSSL sales began in August 2003, the cost of the car was 58455 pounds, it is $ 20,000 more expensive than the standard BMW M3 2003 of the release. With the sale of BMW M3 CSL, as it was above, the client from England received a one-day course of improving the qualifications of driver's skill, which was 850 pounds him.

At the top of the interior photo of the M3 CSL Concept`a. More spartan equipment than a serial sample. We see the simplest heating control system, carbon salon planks and instead of completely Alcantara inserts from the fabric. The photo also shows that there is a difference in the decorative cover of the engine and a carbonist clearance.

BMW M3 CSL 2003 Gray

Number of M3 E46 cars issued in the period from 2000 to 2006
BMW M3 E46 in Body Coupe and Convertible - 84344 pcs
BMW M3 CSL 2003-2004 - 1400 pcs

On one of the non-proven resources where most BMW M owners are written, it has been written that 841 cars with left steering wheel and 542 cars are released when the plate is above indicated 422 copies for the UK market. But I heard that English dealers watched customer orders, knocked out additional quotas from the factory.

Reliability, problems and repair of the engine BMW M3 E92 S65

For not too kind tradition, each new model The car becomes more than the previous one, and M3 did not exception. Compared to M3 E46, with its S54, E90 / E92 scored about 200 kg, which means that for a dynamic ride, a completely different motor is needed. BMW M GmbH solved this problem and in 2007 a new M3 was shown with the S65B40 engine (the first V8 per m3).
This motor was developed on the basis of S85B50 by removing two cylinders from V10 and turn it into V8, with a 4-liter working volume. The block of cylinders according to the design is the same as on S85, with an inter-cylinder distance of 98 mm, connecting rods and pistons are the same as on M5 motor.
The cylinder heads of the design of the design are similar, but the system of changing the phases of the phase distribution of Double-Vanos was reworked and there is no separated oil pump high pressure. Range of adjustment of inlet camshafts 58 °, graduation 48 °. The camshafts on M3 E92: phase 256/256, lift 11.35 / 11.35 mm. Valves and springs are similar to those used in S85. The inlet uses 8 throttle barns, two rows of 4 pcs, with a receivers optimized for them, the design is similar to S85. Performance of standard nozzles - 192 CC. Graduation collectors 4-1. Siemens MS S60 is used as a control unit.
Thanks to all this, the S65B40 engine develops 420 hp At 8300 rpm and spin to 8400 rpm.
This engine was intended only for BMW M3 in the Body E90, as well as E92 and E93.
BMW S65 was produced until 2013, after which, with the release of new M3 F80 and M4 F82, was replaced with a turbocharged row six S55.

Problems and disadvantages of BMW S65 engines

The design of the motor is similar to the V10 S85 and the problems of them are not different from each other. You can learn about the details.

Tuning engine BMW M3 E92

S65 atmo

The most popular way to increase the capacity of BMW M3 E92 is the purchase of a sports exhaust (like SuperSprint), replacing filters and firmware. This will give up to 450 hp And more aggressive sound, which will additionally strengthen the feeling. Increase returns to 480 hp By purchasing camshafts 286/286, the rise 12/12 mm. On sale there are whale row on M3, increasing working volume up to 4.4 liters, by increasing the stroke of the piston to 82.7 mm, as well as strcries 4.6 liters, with pistons 94 mm, 83 mm crankshaft and with appropriate connecting rods. These sets will be allowed to overcome the bar in 500 hp.

S65 compressor

Unlike expensive atmospheric tuning (especially a row), which is more profitable to buy a whale compressor from ESS. These are proven solutions installed on a standard motor and without any problems running many thousands of km. By the reliability / power ratio, the best whale is VT2-625, inflating 0.45 bar, which allows you to get 625 hp Discover this whale skeeping inserts ESS and the motor will ride normally. More powerful solutions require high attention to them. Projects 700+ hp Under the obligatory decrease in the degree of compression and costs, respectively, go to a completely different level.

This car from the very beginning of its existence was doomed to success. The technological chassis, a powerful motor and aggressive design attracted many fans to the brand from around the world. However, and today, the Bavarian sports car continues the victorious procession in the light, increasingly expanding the army of its admirers.

The first generation of BMW M3 was shown to the public in 1985, in the framework of one of the international auto leaders. The presentation of the model prototype model took place in 1986 on the Mugello Racing Ring, whereas the car appeared only in 1987 on sale.

For its time, the BMW 3-series with the "M" prefix was a very technological car. Thus, the suspension had progressive stiffness of shock absorbers and several modes of operation (Comfort, Normal, Sport), and the brake system was equipped with ABS and high pressure pump. The latter also provided the operability of the power steering.

Under the hood, there were 2.3 liters motors with different power characteristics - from 195 to 238 horsepower. We worked with power plants mechanical transmission With five steps.

BMW M3 has only positive feedback. To all those who were lucky enough to own this machine, celebrate its outstanding challenges and stunning charisma. At the same time, the suspension requires attention, which can often fail the electron-controlled shock absorbers, and the clutch of the mechanical box is prone to overheating.

Appearance

This "Bavarian" looks aggressive. Such a look gives it anterior bumper with low sink, aerodynamic kit, rear anti-car, as well as the dual nozzle of the exhaust system. Additionally, it is necessary to highlight extended wheeled arches and wheels R16 on alloy discs.

Salon

The interior looks respectable, but at the same time not deprived of sports notes. Remarkably three-spoke steering wheel, speedometer with marking up to 260 kilometers per hour, as well as the central console, turned to the driver. On the tunnel, next to the lever parking brake The suspension hardness control unit is located. Ergonomics are ideal, but the assembly is not perfect - the panels are seamlessly seeded.

On the run

Motor lacks moment on low revolutionsBut it is easily compensated by a pronounced praise on high, which pushes into the back of the seat. The accelerator pedal is a bit tight, but short-terrestrial and allows you to accurately dose the thrust on the wheels.

The mechanical transmission pleases with clear shifts, although the moves of the lever could be shorter.

The steering wheel is nice of pleasant severity and very informative. Stability on direct does not cause questions, but in the bridges there is a tendency to drift rear axisthat limits the speed of the arc.

II generation (E36)

Another "charged" version BMW. 3-Series appeared in 1992. From the predecessor, the new "M-ka" is significantly different and the design, and the technical part.

Thus, the optics of the head lighting now has a different design of reflectors and united into single blocks. The body lost deliberately square outlines and became more streamlined. The new design of the bumpers has improved the design of the car as a whole, and also reduced its aerodynamic resistance coefficient, increased the cooling efficiency of the brake system.

The chassis has shock absorbers with progressive characteristics. To improve the stability and responsiveness of the steering control, the silent blocks are made pressed. The rear gearbox has a lock, which makes it possible to more rationally dispose of the motor type.

The BMW M3 movement is given:

• Motor 3.0 liters. Power is equal to 286 forces. 5mkp is aggregated.
• 3.2 liter power unit. Develops 321 "Horse". Works together with a six-speed mechanical transmission.

• Sedan.
• Coupe.
• Coupe-convertible.

What do users think?

This car is an incarnation of uncompromising, which is very pleased with its owners. Meanwhile, reliability is not strong side "M-ki." Attention requires synchronizers of the box, as well as an engine that does not like overheating and oil starvation.

Exterior

The rapidness of this car gives low aerodynamic kit, the front bumper with a low splitter. At the time, as a variety of wheels with a diameter of 17 inches - respectability. Volumeful exhaust pipes And the expressive lines of the hood hint at the considerable potential of the motor.

Interior

The salon pleases with the solid materials of the finishes and comfort. From the sports attributes - a chubby steering wheel with three knitting needles, carbon fiber inserts on the front panel and a tunnel, as well as armchairs with a pronounced side support. Dashboard With a blue background, there is a display of an on-board computer and read perfectly under any conditions.

The driver's seat although it has a pleasant configuration, but it is high. In the rear sofa, two passengers can well comfortably coexist, but the third will complain about the tightness in the shoulders.

Riding Properties

The powerful engine allows you to feel on the road more than confidently, however, in urban conditions it is not disclosed. Motor loves high revs, constantly provoking a sensitive gas pedal on them. The same can be said about the transmission - tight pedal The clutch and short-terrestrial scene of the lever will not quietly move in a common urban stream.

Controllability will delight even the most sophisticated drivers. The steering wheel is modeled heavy, but at the same time very responsive when rotating for small angles.

Rolls during the passage of turns are almost absent, but there is a pronounced excessive turning, which gives a mass of emotions when the accelerator is recessed into the floor.

The brake system is highly resistant to overheating. In addition, the brake pedal has a free move and allows you to slowly slow down without jerks.

III generation (E46)

BMW M3 saw the light in 2000. The car thought about how logical and successful continuation previous version in the body E36.

The design smoothly evolved from the angularity of forms to rapidness. The optics of the headlight and the rear lights have become more attractive, and the radiator grille in the form of "nostrils" is expressive.

The main feature of the inner decoration was the presence of a multimedia system with a large and color screen. In addition to playing CD / DVD discs, the complex is able to display navigation readings, as well as television.

The technical characteristics of the new BMW M3 also underwent innovations. Engineers made a bet on a decrease in unsaturated masses, as well as an increase in the power structure of the body. There was a differential of high friction, allowing to get out of rotation at high speed.

The motor line was limited to an aggregate of 3.2 liters with an inline position of six cylinders. This engine gave out from 333 to 360 horsepower. Worked together with six-speed mechanical or robotic transmissions.

View of users

Many brand fans consider this M-ku one of the last real BMW, which was equipped with an atmospheric engine and had uncompromising chassis settings. However, reviews indicate the mediocre reliability of the Bavarian sports car. For example, the front suspension levers do not serve for a long time during exploitation of bad roads, and the multimedia system periodically needs reprogramming due to failures and freezes.

Test

Exterior

The fastest BMW 3-series third generation looks attractive, but strictly. The sports genes of this car will lead low kit, front bumper with a pronounced "lip", four nozzles of the exhaust system, as well as the "gills" of cooling on the front wings. Through 18-inch wheels are peeled perforated brake discs.

Interior

Salon is saturated with an atmosphere of drive. Such aura creates a three-spoke steering wheel with tides in the zone of natural grip, dashboard with informative on-board computer and with color indication of maximum engine speeds, as well as aluminum inserts on the torpedo. The display of the multimedia complex has a pleasant graphics, as well as a clear menu.

The driver's seat with severe side support rollers does not constrain the driver, but provides its clear fixation. Electric adjustments with memory will get rid of the need to constantly pick up a convenient position.

In move

The six-cylinder engine has a smooth characteristic of the moment in the entire turn range, so that the dips are excluded. This makes it possible to confidently accelerate from any speeds, as well as on any transmission.

The steering is responsive, but not nervous, so it is possible to always hold the car strictly within the framework of the course. In case of turning, there are minor rolls, and the rotation is neutral and predictable - no hints for demolition.

IV generation (E90)

Light saw new BMW M3 in 2007 within the framework of the exhibition in Frankfurt. Not everyone reacted to the design of Chris Bangla definitely, however, the technical progress of the novelty was funeral.

This time the creators tried to pay attention to comfort. Therefore, relative to the previous generation model length and width of the new body (sedan) increased by 8 and 3 centimeters, while the wheelbase is 3.5 centimeters.

Under the hood now hides absolutely new Motor - still atmospheric, but with a V-shaped arrangement of eight cylinders and a volume of 4.0 liters. Power point Developed 420 horsepower. Published six-speed "mechanics" or a semi-band "robot".

Body variations:

• Sedan (E90).
• Coupe (E92).
• Coupe-convertible (E93).

Opinion opinion

Many people had a comfortable and functional salon of the Bavarian sports car, as well as good riding comfort. In terms of reliability, the motor is deserved, inclined to overheating, as well as robotic boxwhich requires periodic flashing.

Outside

This "M-ka" looks spectacular and even beautiful. It is worth noting the elegant lines of the body, "rich" optics of head lighting, as well as low aerodynamic kit. Aggression gives the front bumper with bulk sections of air cooling, wide wheel arches, four volumetric exhaust system pipes.

Inside

The design of the front panel may seem ascetic, but this minimalism has reflected on ergonomics only for the better - the main governments are intuitive, without requiring their search. The dashboard with silver edging has a tachometer, the red zone of which is marked over 8000 revolutions per minute, and the steering wheel is stitched with a red thread.

Idrive system is functional, even too. It gives an overview from the rear view camera, navigation, chassis / steering parameters and so on. However, difficulties occur with the interface - the menu has too much submenu, which does not allow you to quickly activate the desired option.

The driver's seat is equipped with servos of rollers side support, pillows, lumbar protrusion. The chair is suitable for a complex of any person, while ensuring reliable fixation and proper comfort.

Riding qualities

The engine has an impressive burden on "Nizakh", but most likely likes when the tachometer arrow comes in 6,500 revolutions per minute - then you can feel rude, but pleasant pickup, as well as intensive acceleration, "imprinted" in the back of the chair. Acceleration is accompanied by the morning and slightly nervous lever of the exhaust system, which bodies blood.

The test drive revealed that the handling is excellent, but relative to the previous M3 - somewhat impulvet. In particular, the steering control lacks sensitivity in the trust of the ram on large angles, and rolls are felt in the turns.

But, the Bavarian sports car can pamper a high smoothness of the stroke, even if small irregularities. In this merit of elastic suspension with an honest Comfort regime.

V Generation (F80)

The newest BMW M3 was shown to the public in 2014. Before the premiere of the Internet, a video tizer was published, which demonstrated the possibilities of a sports car.

The car surprised their fans to the aggressive design, as well as the technical component. Thus, the mass of the new M3 relative to the predecessor decreased by 85 kilograms, while the body dimensions increased. This became possible due to the extensive introduction into the structure of the body of the elements of carbon fiber, aluminum, as well as to increase its rigidity.

IN open space Tied upward motor cubature 3.0 liters. Its potential is calculated 431 and 450 forces. A mechanical transmission with six transmissions or a seven-speed "robot" works with the engine.

Two-door modifications disappeared from the body gamma. Therefore, you can only buy a fifth generation of the Bavarian sports car in the body of a sedan.

Exterior appearance

"Charged" version of the BMW 3-series looks terrible, but effectively. This became possible thanks to the front bumper with massive blowers, a convex hood and wheel arms, a low body kit, as well as a massive diffuser with dual exhaust pipes. The brake system is notable for perforated discs, yellow calipers.

Salon

The inner space pleases with luxurious finishing materials and a pleasant front panel architecture. Chubby steering wheel comfortably falls into the hands, and dashboard Provides the necessary information and is perfectly perceived by the eye under any conditions.

The front armors are equipped with a variety of adjustments and provide a body reliable fixation with active driving. As for the rear sofa, it will not be comfortable even three, because there is plenty of width and for knees.

On the run

The turbocharged motor gives the Bavarian sedan with outstanding acceleration dynamics due to excess thrust in the entire turn range. But at the same time, the sound of the exhaust system is devoid of formidable notes, which slightly slows down the degree of excitement.

Steering is characterized by exemplary reactive effort and high sensitivity. When turning the rolls of rolls, as such, absent, and the resistance to the arc is the maximum. At the same time, the suspension is able to provide a relatively high smoothness of the stroke, not strongly shook out the saddles on small road irregularities.

Photos of all generations BMW M3:

BMW 3 Series is German luxury-class compact cars manufactured by the BMW AG automaker since 1975. In 2011, the 6th generation of model was published. The 3rd series is a BMW bestseller, since about a third of sales of sales accounts for it. Every year, about 0.5 million copies of the 3rd series car comes from the manufacturer's plant. Approximately 5 part of them are sold in the North American market. There is also an M-version of the car - BMW M3, characterized by greater power and sports.

The BMW N54B30 engine was used for the BMW 3 series cars. It was put on a high-end configuration 335i after 2007, replacing the model 330i and its row 6-cylinder engine with a volume of 3 liters (the model was positioned slightly lower than the BMW M3 with the V8 liter engine). For cars of the 5th series: used on the BMW 535i of the middle class since 2008, replacing 530i with a 3 liter engine.

The BMW N53B30 engine is the version of the N53 series, produced in several modifications - 2007 unit has a working volume of 2996 cubic meters. cm, power 210 hp (with a torque of 270 N · m with 3500 revolutions per minute). In 2010, versions with a similar working volume were launched in production, but with changed technical data: less powerful N53B30 - 200 hp

After the rank of fourth N42B20, the BMW company began to produce a motor with an N46 index, two-liter modification obtained the name N46B20. It is based on the N42B20 engine, and it seems that the new motor from the old one does not differ at all, but it is only at first glance. In the engine BMW N46B20, the volume has been increased and amounted to 2.0 liters (1995 cc.). Different versions of the engine have different power from 129 to 170 horsepower on average at 6000 revolutions per minute, the torque also differs and is 180 or 200 N · m at 3,750 revolutions per minute.

Engine BMW N46 - four-cylinder piston Engine With two upper camshafts, which replaced the N42 and was produced since 2004. N46 was produced with N45 (which does not have Valvetronic) and N43 (which has a direct injection). The BMW N46B18 engine with a volume of 1.8 L (1796 cc), has a capacity of 114 horsepower (85 kW) at 5,500 revolutions per minute, and a torque of 175 N · m at 3750 revolutions per minute.

In 2006, the engine N45 received new modification - N45B20S with a 1997 cubic working volume. See the updated inline 4-cylinder engine differs from the precursor with the power indicators - 126 kW (173 l / s). In addition to increasing the technical characteristics, the main technological improvement of the engine was undoubtedly the use of an innovative system of Valvetronic, which significantly increases the performance of the entire engine performance as a whole.

The two-liter version of the M50 engine produced since 1990, which occupied its niche in 1990 by car 520i, and a year after 320i. The diameter of the cylinders is 80 mm, and the stroke of the piston is 66 mm. As a result, the engineers managed to get the power equal to 150 hp

The BMW M44B19 engine is a 4-cylinder engine, which replaced the M42 engine and was produced from 1996 to 2001 at the Steyr factory. This force aggregate It took a leading position in the BMW four-cylinder program and compared to the M42, there were many constructive changes to M44 both in the engine itself and in the control system and in the exhaust gas production system.

Engine BMW N43B20 - four-cylinder row gasoline unit, produced by BMW from 2007 to 2011. There are three versions of the N43 engine that won popularity and recognition among motorists around the world. Unlike its engine predecessor N42 new motor BMW. N43 has a system direct injection Fuel and Valvetronic valve lifting system. The engine was produced in conjunction with such aggregates as N45 and N46, but the level of demand surpassed its followers at a given period of time. The design of this engine made it possible to achieve an optimally high level of torque in combination with economy and environmental friendliness - the combination is not always easily achievable.

This engine It was created in 2000 on the basis of M52TUB28 motor and first installed on restyled versions of BMW E46 and BMW E39. In addition to the M54B30, new motors include M54B22, M54B25 and S54B32. Like in the engine M52B28TU, the cylinder block is made of aluminum alloy, but using cast-iron sleeves. In 2004, the BMW concern presented the world a new line of N52 engines, which smoothly began to replace the M54 ruler. In 2006, DVS M54B30 completely left the production line. But in 2006, one of the most successful turbocharges was created on the basis of M54. engines BMW N54, which massively installed on cars with index 35i.

Engines BMW N42B18 - single-row 4-cylinder motors with DOHC gas timing system. The predecessor of this model of the aggregates was the M43 series engines. The main feature of N42B18 is the two upper camshafts, as well as innovative vanos.. This technology has reduced fuel consumption, reduce the contamination of exhaust gases. And the technology of valvetronic contributes to the increase in power due to optimizing the filling of cylinders with a mixture.

The Senior Representative of the M52th Series of Motors is the BMW M52B28 engine, which since 1995 was established on the BMW model in E36, E38, E39, E46 and Z3, having an index 28i. The engine cylinder block supplied to the European market is made of aluminum, the cylinders are covered with Nick. They have the same diameter as the engine M52B25, the crankshaft with a larger move, the GBC of this motor from the M50B25TU, and the nozzles have a capacity of 250 cm. In 1998, there was a modification of the motor, which received the M52B28TU index having cast iron sleeves. And Double Vanos, other camshafts, an intake manifold DISA and an electronic choke. In 2000, M52B28 engine began to replace the M54B30 engine, and completely stopped its release in a year.
