Second generation BMW X3. BMW X3 second generation - a list of possible problems Motor resource BMW x3 F25 after restyling

29.10.2020

Crossovers have recently been very popular. Take for example BMW X3 of the first generation, which sold more than 500 thousand units. And after the demand for him by 2010 became gradually to fall, the X3 generation appeared to change.

Overview BMW X3.

Speaking about the new BMW X3 F25 is immediately worth mentioning about it, perhaps the only, disadvantage. Despite the greater clearance than the previous model and the flat bottom without protruding parts, the front of the "Troika" is not good enough. And all because there is no lower transmission and the rigid blocking of the differential. Of course, this car is not intended to overcome heavy off-road, but still the permeability should be at the level. And on this disadvantages end, and this car has enough advantages.

Let's start with the appearance. The car is free of its predecessor, but it does not look massive due to the embossed elements on the side of the body. The front bumper may seem slightly coarse and unfinished, as well as the headlights, but they do not violate the overall aesthetics of the new BMW X3. In general, the appearance of the new Troika does not make any complaints, however, this applies to almost all Bavarian cars.

Now let's talk about the cabin. The previous BMW X3 model was often criticized for close rear seats and a relatively small trunk. In the new F25 it is fixed. Even a person, height under 2 meters will not feel uncomfortable on the rear seats. The trunk volume was increased to 550 liters, which is more than many other cars of this class.

Continuing the BMW X3 review is to talk about the ergonomics of the driver's seat and the technical filling of the car. The driver's seat as always flawlessly. All the necessary adjustments of the seat and steering wheel, informative instrument panel, intuitive control of electronic car electronic systems: everything is present. The "Start-Stop" function is somewhat unusual. It stops the engine when braking and starts it when the brake pedal is released. Agree, it's a little scary to decide to leave the secondary road to the main engine with a plugged engine. Fortunately, this feature can be disabled with a special button. Of course, fuel consumption will grow a little, but it will go somewhat usual.

On the central tunnel there are motion mode selection buttons: Sport +, Sport and Normal. The higher the "sportiness", the suspension becomes tougher, sharper reaction to the steering wheel, the gearbox mode changes. But the suspension does not become too tough and does not turn the car into a stool. Even the creators themselves of the BMW X3 recognize that the previous model was too tight and in F25 this excess rigidity is eliminated. Now even the suspension of the new "Troika" in the sport mode is noticeably softer than on the old model in standard mode. In Sport + mode, the stabilization system is turned off, but it will not work out a car into a sharp drive, a system that prevents the tipping system will work.

The hydraulic steering amplifier went to the past. Now the BMW X3 is installed on all modifications of the BMW X3. The steering wheel became noticeably easier, while not losing his informativeness.

If you close your eyes on the absence of reduced transmission and blocking differential, then the new BMW X3 does not cause almost no complaints. Yes, and rarely arise any comments on the BMW car brand.

BMW x3 Specifications

The new five-door crossover has the following dimensions: 4648/1881/1661. The volume of the trunk, as already mentioned, is equal to 550 liters, but if folded the rear seat backs, it will increase more than 3 times. The clearance of the car increased compared with the previous model and is 212 mm, which is enough to overcome light obstacles. Overcome heavy off-road on this car is not worth it, because There is a risk of incurring due to the lack of blocking differential. The capacity of the fuel tank is 67 liters, which, with relatively small flow, should be sufficient. The total mass of the car is almost 2.3 tons, with dynamic characteristics and control in height due to the powerful engine and numerous electronic systems. In general, BMW X3 technical characteristics do not stand out by something special and characterized by many cars of this class.

BMW X3 F25 - configuration and prices

In Russia, the basic is the BMW XDrive20D with a diesel engine with a capacity of 184 hp The overclocking time up to 100 km / h is 8.5 seconds, which is a very good result for the crossover.

The medium-sized second-generation BMW X3 Premium Class crossover with Intrazavodsky code F25 guided the international debut in the fall of 2010 at the Paris Motor Show, after which he went on sale in the world's leading markets, including Russian.

Compared to the predecessor, the new BMW X3 F25 seriously transformed not only externally and inside, but also on the technical part and in terms of equipment.

In March 2014, a resting parquencenik Iks 3 appeared on the Motor Show in Geneva in front of the audience - he was drawn to the design, made improvements in the cabin, expanded the range of power units and added new electronic equipment.

Exterior




Appearance of the BMW X3 2016-2017, unlike many famous competitors, was framed without frills, but the crossover looks attractive, modern, noble and, most importantly, instantly recognizable.

In front of the machine demonstrates truly courageous appearance with an inadvertent squirrel of LED headlights, swelling "nostrils" of the surname grille of the radiator and the Zhemunno underlying lip of the bumper.



Yes, and behind the car leaves only positive emotions, and all thanks to the "frowning" lanterns, the embossed lid of the trunk and the fascinated bumper.

In the profile, the new BMW X3 F25 looks emotionally and solidly - its dynamic silhouette is successfully combined with the sidewall muscles, swollen the arches of the wheels and shown to the back of the subcast line.

Salon

Inside the BMW X3 2017 there is nothing superfluous - the interior of the model is deprived of any designer delights, but in general is flawless: a pretty and presentable design, impeccable ergonomics and the highest level of assembly.

Yes, and with finishing materials here full order - soft plastics, expensive leather, aluminum and natural wood. On the central console, the color display of the iDrive information and entertainment center and the laconic audio control uniforms and climate complexes are logically contemplated.

The dashboard is generally a sample to follow: the quartet of the analog instruments is adjacent to the color display of the on-board computer, providing the driver with the entire necessary array of information. Not knocked out of the general picture and a multifunctional steering wheel having a three-spoke design and relief structure of the rim.

The front armchairs BMW ICS 3 2016-2017 is a verified profile with developed side support rollers and a variable pillow length, exhaustive adjustment ranges and optimal filler hardness.

Yes, and with the rear places, the crossover has no special problems - the sofa is conveniently integrated, and there is enough free space with an excess in all directions.

Characteristics

The "second" BMW X3 is positioned as a medium-sized SUV: its length is 4657 mm, the height is 1661 mm, the width is 1881 mm. The wheelbase of the car is 2810 mm, and the road clearance reaches 204 mm. In the curb state, the mass of the car ranges from 1735 to 1895 kg, depending on the modification.

BMW X3 F25 trunk can be described as a neat box with perfectly smooth walls and high-quality finishes, which can accommodate from 560 to 1600 liters of boot (at the same time, with a folded second round, a completely flat loading site is obtained).

In Russia, a wide range of power units, installed by expound with a 6-speed mechanic or an 8-range machine and a 6-step mechanic or an 8-band automata and an XDrive all-wheel drive transmission, equipped with a multi-disc clutch, which is responsible for supplying power to the front axle wheels.

BMW X3 gasoline engines are represented by inline 2.0-liter "fours", developing 184 or 245 horsepower (270 or 350 nm of torque, respectively) and 3.0-liter "six", which generates 306 stallions and 400 nm.

Diesel engines for the speakerphone stated two: a four-cylinder 2.0 l, in service with which there are 190 mares and 400 nm peak thrust, and a six-cylinder for 3.0 liters, producing 249 hill and 560 nm of the torque.

The BMW-Three is based on the rear-wheel drive platform with a double-mounted front and multi-stage rear suspension. In the construction of the crossover body, high-strength types were used, although some elements are made of aluminum.

The steering system of the vehicle is formed by a rack mechanism and an electric amplifier with changing characteristics. All four wheels of the model accommodate disk brakes (front - ventilated) with a whole set of modern electronics.

Price in Russia

The BMW X3 crossover (F25) was sold in Russia in three grades: Urban, Lifestyle and Exclusive. The price of the BMW X3 2017 in the body F25 varied from 2,620,000 to 3,500,000 rubles.

DRIVE UNIT: full

BMW paintwork quality is still high. For seven years of the conveyor life of the car, the servicemen failed to identify typical corrosion foci and part of the body, susceptible to particularly active "sandblasting" and the formation of chips.

All BMW motors are distinguished by high thermal traffic. In order not to bring them to overheating, which turns into serious consequences, it is important. Usually they are washed every two years. The operation implies partial disassembly of the front of the body, but is estimated to be paid money.

On machines over three years old corps LED lights installed on the trunk lid. This is subject to cars in "pre-reform" and restyled performances. Prevention, alas, does not exist, the blown lamp will have to be changed assembly.

The elements of the front suspension have a large resource. The least walk shock absorbers - usually they have to change after 100,000 km. It is desirable - together with the support bearings, so that in the near future it is not to climb again into the suspension.

The only weak link in the rear suspension X3 is floating silent blocks in the upper transverse levers. This feature of almost all BMW models. Usually silent blocks are broken after 80,000 km. The creation of a creaking during the passage of irregularities will be taken about the beginning of their destruction.

After 100,000 km, the appearance of knocks in. Unfortunately, this node is very difficult to repair. Many profile hundred do not even take it to work. The steering mechanism has a built-in electromotor, so the new node is very dough. The remaining elements of the steering (thrust and tips) go long. Change them, mainly due to damage - for example, with accidents.

A ridiculous slip in the design of the dispensing box is a sapun, which is a simple tube, without a valve or at least a anther. When operating in the unit, moisture falls in unhindered. This is especially manifested in the winter when, after driving, the disassemble cools and delays wet outdoor air through the sapun. What can we talk about overcoming deep puddles.

The abundance of moisture inside the unit leads to a rapid and strong corrosion of its elements. Usually to 50,000 km of run, it causes vibration and jerk in the transmission. On modifications with more powerful motors, this is manifested at the beginning of the movement, with a lot of engines - at speeds 60-80 km / h. If you contact the service in time, you can save the distribution. It is disassembled, washed and usually change the bearings. Otherwise, corrosion will fully abate the expensive node.

Alas, until they came up with a way to upgrade the sapunus of the dispensing. Folk methods working on serious SUVs are not suitable for X3. A small consolation is that the remaining elements of the HDRIVE all-wheel drive transmission serve as faithfully.

On modern BMW, an electronic alert system is applied to maintain maintenance. It takes into account the duration and conditions of operation and gives a message on the instrument panel with the list of required operations - replacement of oil in the engine, air or cabin filters, brake fluid, spark plugs, brake pads.

Conveniently, only in the Russian conditions an electronic counter works inadequately. This mainly belongs to the engine replacement interval in the engine. According to the computer, it is 20,000-25,000 km. In reality, even the interval of 15,000 km is often too large, especially with the tight operation of the car in the metropolis. Therefore, in order not to kill a few times the high-loaded BMW motors, you should connect your head - it follows at least once every 10,000 km.

In the current challenging economic situation are very in demand. They do not face the owners of the premium segment cars, including BMW. The benefit of the servicemen has already accumulated solid experience in the use of substitute spare parts. For example, the good value for the price and quality of the LEMFÖRDER brand. There are strong Chinese spare parts, such as radiators.

Gasoline four-cylinder turbo engine 2.0 series N20 It has two versions: with a capacity of 184 and 245 hp At the same time, the engines are absolutely the same by the gland, identical to even the turbine. Difference only in software. These enjoy chip tuning lovers.

Diseases in Motors N20, despite the different degrees of forcing, the same. Approximately after 70,000 km of run in the service often enter engines with serious loans on cervical cakes and their beds. In some cases, the repair of the cylinder head is no longer possible. It leads to this defect Oil fasting, which is happening for various reasons.

All BMW engines have a good oil appetite, so the owners often "misses" the control level. In addition, oil due to unjustified stretched replacement intervals to the next then sometimes loses its work properties. The camshafts and their beds may die due to the failure of the chain leading the oil pump. Just about 70,000 km of mileage, it is possible to open it due to increased load. The fact is that the oil pump is combined into a single node with a block of balancing shafts that reduce vibration during engine operation.

The circuit of the oil pump is usually accompanied by a short outsider, which is difficult to catch. And on the low-pressure oil that appeared, not all drivers immediately pay attention. As a result, the motor gets such damage that it is already inappropriate to restore it.

Last manted on Motors N20 and timing chain. It is usually changed after 100,000 km of run due to excessive elongation. But the coupling of changing phases of gas distribution (Vanos) on these engines serve quite a long time.

Replacing the familiar throttle on many BMW gasoline engines The system of variable gas distribution mechanism valve systems (Valvetronic) was upgraded. Its previous generations were capricious, but in the third generation, in particular on the N20 engines, the problems came to not.

Engineers have also improved crankcase ventilation block. Now it is changed much less often than on more age gasoline engines.

All modern BMW gasoline engines are deprived of the usual oil probe, the electronic sensor monitors the level. In the former machines, this "assistant" often started to lie after a run of 100,000 km, exposing owners for serious repair of the engine. On the engine N20, a modified version of the sensor is installed, and only single cases of malfunction are fixed in seven years.

We thank for the help in the preparation of the material the technical center "Unit South-West".

In the summer of 2010, the Bavarian automaker distributed official photos of the second generation of the BMW X3 crossover in the new body F25, whose world debut took place in September on the Motor Show in Paris.

Externally, the new BMW X3 F25 (2015-2016) has become somewhat larger and solid: the bumper has changed, the new front optics got a strip of LED lights of daylight, on the sidewalls there are elegant ebcomers, rear view mirrors have become larger.

BMW X3 (F25)

Compared to the predecessor, the new BMW x3 pulled out a length of 83 mm (up to 4,652), added 28 mm "in the shoulders" (up to 1,881) and heated at 13 mm (up to 1,687), the wheelbase rose by 15 millimeters (up to 2 810). Dimensions of novelties in all indicators exceed the main competitors - and. At the same time, despite the increased dimensions, X3 II generation became even somewhat lighter than the previous model.

Inside, the PARTNER can boast a completely new interior with a different front panel and a central console, which has acquired a large 8.8-dum diplege, new steering wheel and door panels, as well as modified chairs.

The volume of the trunk of the new BMW X3 F25 is 550 liters, which is 70 l more than the predecessor, the back of the rear sofa folds in the ratio of 60:40, but optionally you can order a seat that develops in a ratio of 40:20:40. After folding the backs of the rear row, the volume of the compartment increases to 1,600 l.

Initially, only two engines were offered for the crossover: the base version of xDrive35i received a row six-cylinder gasoline turbocrotor with a volume of 3.0 liters, outstanding 306 hp. And the maximum torque is 400 nm at 1,300 rpm. Working in a pair with a new 8-speed automaton, BMW XDrive35i is able to reveal from space up to 100 km / h in 5.7 seconds, and its maximum speed is 245 kilometers per hour.

The second option is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel unit with turbocharging and direct fuel injection Common Rail. The capacity of this engine is 184 hp, the maximum torque is 380 nm. The engine is aggregated with a 6-speed manual transmission and accelerates the new X3 to one hundred per 8.5 seconds. At maximum speed of 210 km / h.

Later, the line was expanded due to the inclusion of an initial 184-strong gasoline engine with a volume of 2.0 liters (modification of XDrive 20i), and such a more powerful 245-strong version of the same unit (XDrive 28i) and two more three-liter diesel engines in 250 L.S. (xDrive 30D) and 313 hp (XDrive 35D). As follows from the designation, everything, without exception, the version of the model is all-wheel drive.

Updated BMW X3.

In early February 2014, BMW submitted an updated version of the crossover X3 (F25), which received a modified appearance, an improved interior and a modernized diesel engine. The world premiere of the novelty took place in March at the Geneva Motor Show.

Externally, the BMW X3 (2015-2016) was acquired by renewed bumpers, new rear-view mirrors with integrated repeaters of rotation indicators, and the main - larger radiator grille and other head optics made in the style of the new.

Also for the car prepared several additional options for the color of the body and wheeled designs. The architecture of the renewed BMW X3 2015 remained the same, but here a little changed the central console, new finishing materials appeared and additional upholstery schemes, as well as an upgraded IDRIVE system with a built-in touch panel in the controller.

Basic two-liter diesel on the XDrive 20D version from nowend gives 190 hp. (400 nm) against 184 forces and 380 Nm earlier, plus it became a little more economical, compared with the previous version. The remaining engines remained unchanged - only four diesel and three gasoline engines are available on the European market, which are aggregated in a pair or with 6-speed mechanics, or with an 8-range automaton.

Sales of the updated BMW X3 in Russia started in summer at a price of 2,670,000 to 3,580,000 rubles, and the supply of machines are carried out both from the United States and local Kaliningrad assembly. The latter in some versions is even a bit more expensive due to the richest standard equipment.

BMW X3 - a premium compact SUV, combining a noble design, a high level of practicality and functionality and "Driver" behavior on the road, usually inherent in the Iron Horses of the Bavarian automaker ...

Its main target audience - wealthy people (often - family) who profess an active lifestyle, why need a reliable, universal and well-equipped car ...

The second generation of crossover (intra-water index "F25") The Germans demonstrated the world community in September 2010 on the podiums of the International Paris Motor Show, and already a little more than a month later, its sales began on the world's leading markets.

Compared to the predecessor, the five-year changed in all areas - it became expressive externally and luxurious inside, grown in size, "armed" in a thoroughly modernized technique and received new options.

From the moment of the appearance, this SUV was periodically subjected to small improvements, but in 2014 it was a series of serious modernization (the renewed car debuted in March to the Motor Show in Geneva) - "Refresh" the exterior and interior, added new motors to the gamma and expanded the list of available equipment. In this form, the sazdnik lasted on the conveyor until 2017, after which the place of the model of the next generation was given.

Looks like a "second" BMW X3 pretty, "porno", balanced and in moderation aggressively, but at the same time quite concisely - in his appearance it is not to find outstanding design decisions, however, as well as any misses.

Expressive apron with a supervisory look of the dysfast headlights and branded "nostrils" of the radiator lattice, a dynamic silhouette with a developed "muscles" on board and large arches of wheels, tightened feed with frowning lamps and a relief bumper - a crossover has a noble appearance that fully corresponds to its premium status.

The second generation BMW X3 length is stretched by 4657 mm, its width "spreads" by 1881 mm, and height has 1661 mm. The base of the wheels is placed in a five-year 2810 mm, and its road clearance does not exceed 204 mm.

In the "hiking" form, the weight of the sortman varies from 1795 to 1895 kg (depending on the version).

Inside the "X-third" - nothing superfluous: discreet and presentable design, impeccable ergonomics, expensive finish materials and the ransom level.

Exemplary "toolkit" with arrow devices and a color scoreboard between them, the three-spoke multi-steering wheel of the optimal size and the massive center console that sets the screen of the IDRIVE media center and intuitive blocks of the audio system and "microclimate" - the interior of the crossover is decorated to be an appearance without chase visual effects.

The decoration of the BMW X3 of the second embodiment is designed for the placement of five people - a sufficient supply of free space here is provided on both rows. The front of the car is equipped with good chairs with a variable pillow length, pronounced side rollers and wide adjustment intervals, and behind a comfortable sofa with a verified pillow shape and the optimal tilt of the back.

One of the trumps "Bavarsa" is a neat trunk with smooth walls, which in normal state is capable of receiving 550 liters of boot. The "gallery", divided into three sections, forms a completely smooth floor when folding and brings the volume of the "hold" to 1600 liters. In the underground niche, the Ozvodnik organized a container for small things, but there is no spare track there, even a small-sized.

The second generation BMW X3 market is provided with a wide range of power units:

  • The gasoline "team" includes in its own composition of inline four- and six-cylinder engines with a working volume of 2.0 and 3.0 liters with turbocharging, a direct injection system and varying phases of gas distribution:
    • "Jr." option generates 184 horsepower at 5000-6250 rev / minute and 270 Nm of torque at 1250-4500 rev / minute, or 245 hp at 5000-6500 rpm and 350 nm peak thrust at 1250-4800 rev / minute;
    • and the "senior" - 306 hp At 5800-6400 about / minute and 400 nm of rotating potential at 1200-5000 rpm.
  • The diesel part consists of "fours" and "six" on 2.0 and 3.0 liters, respectively, with a vertical layout, turbocharging and a system of direct "power":
    • the return of the first is 190 hp at 4000 rpm and 400 nm of torque at 1750-2250 rev / min;
    • and the second - 249 hp With 4000 rpm and 560 Nm of limit thrust at 1500-3000 rpm.

All motors are fitted with an 8-range "automatic" and xDrive all-wheel drive transmission with a multid-wide coupling that is responsible for transferring the moment on the front wheels, and the engines with a capacity of 184 and 190 hp. - Also with a 6-speed "mechanics" (default).

The basis of the BMW X3 of the second generation is the "rear-wheel drive" platform with a longitudinal engine, and its carrying body to a large proportion consists of high strength steel. On both axes of the car, independent suspensions with cylindrical springs and transverse stabilizers are applied (in the form of an option - more with adaptive shock absorbers): in front - double gland, rear - multi-dimensional.

The crossover can boast a rush steering system with an electromechanical control amplifier and brake complex with disk brakes "in a circle" (in front of the front part - ventilated), ABS, EBD and other electronics.

In the secondary market of Russia, the second "release" of the BMW X3 in 2018 can be bought at a price of ~ 900 thousand rubles.

The simplest equipment of the second generation model has in its arsenal: six airbags, ABS, ESP, two-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors, starting the engine with buttons, 17-inch alloy wheels, bi-xenon headlights, electric and heating mirrors, Fog lights, heated front seats, media center, high-quality audio and much more.
