Clearance BMW X1, Road clearance of BMW X1 different years of release. What clearance (road clearance) at BMW E60? Is it possible to increase it? What is a ground clearance

15.01.2021

Compact SUV "BMW X1", whose clearance is not afraid of domestic roads, he entered mass production in 2009. Not so long ago a restyling model was held. For the Russian market, the car is collected in Kaliningrad from component elements made in Leipzig. The crossover became the legendary modification produced in India, China, Mexico. The basic platform for creating a car was the wagon of the third series.

Description

Clearance "BMW X1" is almost 200 millimeters, anterior suspension - enhanced, such as MacPherson, a rear analogue is an independent multi-dimensional node. There is an all-wheel drive version and a rear-wheel drive model. Motors include gasoline and diesel options. In the first case of the "engine" with four cylinders and a volume of two liters, develops the power of about 150 horsepower. This is a version for rear-wheel drive models.

SUVs with all driving wheels are equipped with a three-liter engine with six cylinders. Its capacity is 258 "horses". On the renewed cars of this brand, power units with four cylinders and a capacity of 245 horsepower are mounted. Diesel execution presents three engines. All working volume - two liters. Differences in capacity (l. P.) - 184/204/218. By design, diesel motors are identical, however, they are distinguished by the systems and the performance of turbine supervision.

Appearance

Let us consider in more detail the second generation of "BMW X1", whose clearance remained unchanged. The front of the crossover was equipped with a modern lattice of the radiator, "angels" seamless light elements, wide air ducts at the edges of the bumper and an aluminum central bump. Additional aggressiveness give large holes of the falseradiator and a massive bumper with a fear of air.

The similarity with the modification X3 is observed in the presence of "fog" under the main headlights and their configuration. Auto profile is typical for the German manufacturer, belong to the benefits. Developed by decades the stylistic feature of the outstand almost to perfection. Among other differences:

increased wheeled arches;
the original "fin", mounted on the roof;
elegant, clear, rapid body lines;
smooth transitions.

The standard configuration includes 5-inch wheels. By request, for a fee, analogs of 18 or 19 inches can be mounted. The profile has a smoothly flowing roof line, with the transition to the upward outline of window, doorways and the arches of the wheels. The feed of the SUV is equipped with LEDs, the original door of the luggage compartment. Rear bumper is made traditionally in German style. The exhaust assembly is made without special innovations, the usual chrome connections are installed with 12 possible options for painting.

Equipment of the salon

Clearance "BMW X1" - not the only advantage of a car in its class. The salon is designed for long reflection and unhurried conversation. It is worth noting that along with a decrease in the wheelbase, space for the rear row passengers has become more centimeters more. This is largely due to the presence of optional combined seats. Installation of the base sofa is made practically as in the second series.

Immediately you need to pay attention to the separation of the front and rear line of the chairs. The central console is rotated to the driver, ergonomics - at the highest level. The modern multimedia system is convenient, the management of this node is thought out, does not distract from the road. The display diagonal in the standard configuration is 6.5 inches, it is raised to the level of the windshield.

Interior decoration

Among the differences from the predecessor in the interior design, the appearance of a rectangular screen of an on-board computer between the tachometer and speedometer is noted. The dashboard is framed by soft plastic spongy configuration. We changed the climate control and music settings system. Also updated the motor start button, the shape of the heating supply air supply, the arrangement of space near the gear shift node. As a result, the driver's seat and the salon as a whole became more comfortable and aesthetically.

The central tunnel of the car is not burdened with a multitude of keys, they replaced the sensitive joystick. The box for small pieces is disguised as a neat curtain, placed near the lever of the checkpoint. Among additional equipment:

adaptive and two-zone climatic control;
option to memorize seat positions;
automatic functionality of head headlights and wipers;
rear parking sensors;
electric drive fifth door.

Features

What clearance of "BMW x1"? The answer to this question is indicated above. And what else can please the owner's SUV, consider further. Depending on the basic package, the exterior and interior of the car is performed in various color palettes. In the equipment of the machine, intelligent systems are provided for communicating with the Internet, combustible consumption control, optimization of motion modes and the like.

In the rear sofa, comfortably will be only a couple of adults. The central tunnel bulges slightly, equipped with air ducts and compartments under the smallest. The columns are installed higher than that of the predecessor (slightly lower shoulder). The front passenger's chair has become more convenient, the specialists also thought out improved mount for a children's chairs. In general, all the equipment pleases with quality and functionality, taking into account the fact that all the necessary elements are regulated and shifted.

"BMW x1": specifications

The clearance of the car is 194 millimeters. Other parameters:

length / width / height - 4.45 / 1.79 / 1.54 m;
mass complete / equipped - 1.99 / 1.5 tons;
the wheelset in front / rear is 1.5 / 1.52 m;
the capacity of the luggage compartment when the back range of seats is 1350 liters;
the volume of the tank for fuel is 63 l;
the average fuel consumption is 100 km - 6.4 liters.

Transmission and suspension knot

The BMW X1 is impressive. However, the transmission of this crossover is no worse. The machine is equipped with a manual box for six modes or an eight-adjusted "automatic". They are aggregated with an improved all-wheel drive transmission unit with a special multi-disc clutch. The electronic system of course stability transmits a traction force on the front wheels under normal conditions, in emergency situations, the traction is fully moving to the rear axle.

Clearance "BMW x1" (a photo of cars, see the review) is due to a reliable pendant in front of MacPherson racks. The node is equipped with aluminum and steel elements that obtain the electrical adjustment of the shock absorbers. Rear is a multi-dimensional design with spaced shock absorbers and spring details. Adjustable rigidity allows you to distribute the mass along the axes in the optimal ratio (50/50).

Other systems

Steering has practically not changed. It provides an electrical amplifier with variable parameters. The brake system is ventilated disk structures on all wheels.

Separately, the safety of the car should be selected. This includes an upgraded XDRIVE system. It smoothly distributes the motor force between the front and rear wheels, depending on the conditions and style of the ride. On testing, the model showed the highest level of security (5 stars). This became possible thanks to the nodes of suspension from high-strength steel, the presence of frontal and rear parking sensors, front, side airbags, inflatable curtains for the first and reverse seats, rear visibility cameras. Auto "BMW X1", characteristics and clearance of which are indicated above, it 100% corresponds to the notorious German quality, one of the best in the world.

Road clearance (also known as clearance) is one of the most basic and important parameters of any car. Many of us when choosing a car often pay special attention to this parameter. Especially the road clearance is important in winter conditions, when traditionally winter cares for public utilities surprise and roads even in large Russian cities turn into winter rally routes. Unfortunately, the fact that automakers indicate in technical specifications is often not true. For example, few people think about the fact that in fact the clearance of cars in reality is significantly less than the automotive companies are declared.

So if you buy a car with a road clearance of 140 and even 150 mm do not be surprised in winter, that your car literally scraps "high-quality" snow-covered Russian roads due to the fact that in reality road clearance of the machine is similar to some sports cars.

Our Internet edition decided to choose for you ten cars, which because of their road lumen are actually not intended for operation on Russian roads. Especially in winter. We want to note that we did not include in our rating some exclusive rare sports cars, having a small road clearance due to their specifics. We chose among ordinary cars, which can be officially purchased in Russia and intended for operation in the city. To start, let's still find out what is clearance (road clearance) of the car?

What is ground clearance?

Clearance of any car is the minimum distance between the road and the body of the vehicle (or frame). In other words, the clearance is the height of the lower part of the car in relation to the Earth. As a rule, most manufacturers indicate the size of the road lumen, which is measured in an empty vehicle, in which there is no driver and passengers, as well as a spare wheel and luggage. That is why any car with cargo, driver and passengers has a clearance lower than the automaker states.

On an uneven, bumpy or snow-covered road, the road clearance plays important, because if the machine has a small clearance, there is a risk of getting stuck and even damage the car. As a rule, the smallest road clearance has sports cars. Due to the low clearance, manufacturers tend to maximize the aerodynamic resistance of the car air to increase the dynamic characteristics of a sports car.

Sedans also have not very large road clearance due to its specific design, when as some hatchbacks often have a slightly enlarged ground clearance. But the largest clearance, of course, have crossovers and SUVs, which are ideal for exploitation in the area with bad roads and on any roads in winter. That is why in our country selling crossovers beat records.

Pros and cons of high road lumen

But, unfortunately, the high ground clearance has a cons. The main disadvantage of crossovers and SUVs is a tendency to overturning. After all, because of the high road lumen, the center of gravity of the car is too high. As a result, cars with higher clearance have more likelihood to roll over than vehicles having a small ground clearance. Also cars with a small clearance due to the lower location of the center of gravity of the body are more manageable and comfortable.

So when choosing a car, you should always consider that the high road clearance is not ideal. For example, if you want the car to have excellent handling, then you should buy a sports car or sedan, since even the most expensive crossover or an SUV will not be able to provide the perfect level of steering.

Is the reality of the car clearance made by the manufacturer?

But the truth you must remember that the road clearance inventive manufacturers does not correspond to real data. As we have already said, the clearance is measured by automotive companies in an empty not loaded by a luggage car. So in real conditions, the road clearance is always less than indicated in the specifications.

But the worst thing is that the road clearance, specified in the vehicle specification, as a rule, does not take into account the protection of the engine crankcase, which the manufacturer or car buyer sets. As a result, in fact, in fact, any car lumen is less than 10-30 mm. As a result, many cars presented on sale in the Russian market, in a literal sense turn into "sandmashin" to rigging snow on the road.

For example, if your machine according to the manufacturer has a good ground clearance of 160 mm, then when installing even plastic protection, the car will lose 10-15 mm clearance. So, at best, 150 mm of the road lumen will remain in the car.

Plus, do not forget that the official clien data do not take into account the load on the body. Therefore, if the driver will sit in the car and three passengers with a luggage, then you can also safely say goodbye, at a minimum, with 3-5 mm of the road lumen. As a result, just 147 mm will remain as ideally from 160 mm. In the worst case, all 140 mm. And this notice is not the same as 160 mm. This is especially disappointing when, buying a car, the road clearance for you was the main criterion of choice.

Yes, of course, when buying a car with a small road clearance, you can certainly and not install the engine protection. But then you risk damaging the crankcase of the power unit. This is especially true on Russian roads who love to present unexpected surprises to drivers.

So the lower the clearance of the machine, the more reliably the engine crankcase is being protected from below. But, unfortunately, the reliable and high-quality protection of the engine crankcase in any case will eat from any car sufficient road lumen. As a result, possession of the same sedan in winter can be a huge problem for the owner.

Let's find out with the above mentioned information, which cars presented in our country on sale are poorly suitable for Russian harsh roads for operation in winter. We picked up the top 10 cars with the lowest clearance, the operation of which is problematic in winter.

10) Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212)

150 mm (C AMG kit 135 mm)

Real road clearance:130 mm (with AMG kit 115 mm)

The Mercedes-Benz E-class sedan in Russia in the Body W212 gives its owners an unforgettable level of comfort and manageability. This car failed to many Russian car owners. Many of the appearance of the W212 body even started talking that the E-class again acquired the spirit of the legendary 124-body. But, unfortunately, the modern e-class cannot compare with the old legend. For example, in terms of road lumen. So the E-class in the Body W212 has a road clearance of 150 mm (standard equipment - code 485). But there are more cars in AMG in our country. In this configuration, the E-class clearance is only 135 mm (code 486). There is a truth to still modify the suspension with an increased road lumen, which is 165 mm. But such cars can only be bought in Elegance or Avantgarde.

As a result, we see: in most E-class cars in the Body W212, the road clearance is only 150 or 135 mm. For Russian roads, this road clearance is very small. After all, as we have already said, the ground clearance specified in the specification was measured on an unloaded car. This means that from the claimed clearance can be safely taken away, at least 20 mm (5 mm when loading with luggage, when landing three passengers, driver and after installing metal protection). As a result, the E-class clearance in AMG in the kit will be only 115 mm. Agree to a significant difference. Do you imagine what is the wheel of such a car during the snowfall?

9) KIA CEE "D

Road clearance in the specification:150 mm

Real road clearance:125 mm

Another popular car in Russia, with which there may be problems with winter operation. We are talking about KIA CEE "D, the ground clearance of which, according to the official specification, is 150 mm. On the one hand, quite acceptable clearance on modern standards. But again, it is excluding the driver, passengers, baggage and traditional protection of the engine crankcase, which eat from The initial road lumen is about 25 mm.

If we compare with the Mercedes E-class, then because of the small size of KIA CEE "D, with full loading of the cabin, it sits down much lower, which ultimately leads to a lot of loss of the road space declared by the automotive company. Also, the feature of the KIA CEE design" D cannot be installed Carter protection, which would have eaten ground clearance. As a result, the real road clearance of KIA CEE "D is not 150 mm, and 125, which is extremely small for Russian winter roads.

8) BMW 3-series F30

Road clearance in the specification:140 mm

Real road clearance:120 mm

Once-popular BMW 3-Series in Russia has for several years for several years she has been putting its position in the car market for several years. Naturally, it is primarily due to pricing and increasing popularity of crossovers in our country. But not the last role in the fall of popularity played a small clearance model. On the one hand, the "treshka" has the perfect "weighing" weight (50:50) and amazing aerodynamic characteristics, which makes it one of the best cars in its class.

But for controllability, the consumer is paid by low road lumen, which delivers inconvenience even in the summer when traveling the countryside. The fact is that according to the technical characteristics, the clearance of BMW 3-series is only 140 mm, which will agree very little for this size of the car. In reality, when landing in the driver of the driver and three passengers, the clearance decrease by 3-5 mm. Plus, naturally, each owner is set to protect the engine crankcase, which eats another 15 mm of the road lumen. As a result, the clearance of BMW is only 120 mm.

7) Lexus IS (third generation since 2013)

Road clearance in the specification:135 mm

Real road clearance:117 mm

As you already understood, we started our rating from cars, the road clearance of which is not very small, but, nevertheless, not very comfortable for winter driving conditions. Especially on Russian roads that traditionally hide from drivers under the snow before the arrival of birds.

Starting with this car, you will see cars with indecently low ground clearance, despite the fact that we have conventional cars that do not belong to sports cars.

And so in front of you LEXUS IS sedan, which has a clearance of only 135 mm!

As you already understood, this ground clearance declared by the manufacturer, you can only see in an empty car without luggage, as well as without factory protection of the engine crankcase. By establishing protection and putting passengers with a luggage, at least, get ready for the fact that the road lumen will decrease by 18 mm. As a result, in actually Lexus IS has a ground clearance of 117 mm.

6) Ford Focus restyling (third generation)

Road clearance in the specification:130 mm

Real road clearance:110 mm

Most recently, this car was one of the leaders of the Russian car market. In general, Ford focus is a high-quality and reliable car, which is quite high-tech. But many owners of this model are rarely complaining about the small road clearance of the car, which often gives their masters a lot of problems. Especially in winter. The fact is that the third generation of focus in the body of the hatchback clearance is only 130 mm, which, taking into account the loading of the machine and install the engine protection, is very small, since the road clearance is not more than 110 mm in reality.

In winter driving conditions, even in large cities, this car can deliver a lot of unpleasant impressions to its owners.

5) Audi A1 Sportback

Road clearance in the specification:125 mm

Real road clearance:105 mm

As we have said, the smaller the car in their sizes, the machine more loses the road lumen when landing the driver and passengers with luggage. Therefore, so low Audi A1 Sportback, with full load loses 5 mm clearance. Plus the protection of the engine crankcase and as a result, the road clearance of a mini-car is not 125 mm in reality, and only 105 mm, which will agree even for a microheater vehicle very little. That is why the owners of Audi A1 Sportback are trying not to travel to Russia on the road in winter.

4) BMW 6-series

Road clearance in the specification:124 mm

Real road clearance:109 mm

Another car of the Bavarian company, who fell into our vehicle rating with the smallest road clearance. We are talking about a 6-series engineers made very low in favor of manageability. As a result, when loading the machine and install the factory protection of the engine, the car clearance is only 109 mm. So no 124 mm of the road lumen does not go. Taking into account the fact that the wheelbase of this model is large enough low road clearance in 109 mm can bring their owner big problems on the winter road.

3) Renault Clio (Fourth Generation Hatchback)

Road clearance in the specification:120 mm

Real road clearance:100 mm

What do you expect from a small city car? Of course, fuel economy and ease of parking on narrow streets. But few people know that buying Renault Clio owners to face a problem that is associated with a small road clearance, constituting only 120 mm (according to the official specification. At first glance, the clearance is real small, but critical.

But this parameter in specifications refers to an empty car without passengers and baggage, as well as without crankcase protection. If the owner sets the engine to the car and go on a trip along with passengers and luggage, then the car's ground clearance will be approximately 100 mm. You can imagine how hard it is to exploit the car in winter even in a large city.

2) Mercedes-Benz Cla class (C117)

Road clearance in the specification:117 mm

Real road clearance:99 mm

Since the appearance of the Mercedes-Benz Cla class in the C117 body on the Russian market, this car began to be popular mainly in young people, which did not think about low traffic. But a few years later, most young motorists realized that this model was not intended for winter operating conditions.

The fact is that according to the technical characteristics of the manufacturer, the Mercedes-Benz Cla class has a clearance of only 117 mm, which will agree very little. After all, this is not a sports car. Moreover, after installing the engine protection and when the car is loaded, only 99 mm remains from the road lumen. As a result, most owners of this model prefer to use the car in winter only from time to time. Do not believe. Read several pages on the forum dedicated to this model and you will see some negative reviews about the winter operation of the car.

1) Volkswagen Polo (Fourth Generation) Restyling

Road clearance in the specification:110 mm

Real road clearance:95 mm

Traditionally, all Volkswagen cars have a good ground clearance, which actually allows them to exploit them in Russia even in winter without any particular problems. But not the Volkswagen Polo, which was produced from 2005 to 2009. This model was very low.

For example, the road clearance of the car was only 110 mm. Since this indicator is designed by the manufacturer with an empty machine and without the protection of the engine crankcase, it is safe to say that in reality clearance will be no more than 95 mm. You imagine only 9.5 cm !!! For urban small car. Notice it is not about sports car. So if you are going to acquire VW Polo and expect to ride it all year round, then in winter, prepare a cable, a shovel and money to feed the car in each yard.

The debut of the 6th generation of the BMW 3-series with the factory index F30 body sedan took place in the fall of 2011 at the homeland of the German company in Munich. The official world premiere of the new Bavarian "Troika" BMW3 F30 took place within the framework of the North American Motor Show of 2012 (Detroit).

Yet auto Novelties in D-Class:

The 3-series cars for BMW are the most significant in the ruler, their share accounts for more than a third of the German company's sales. For more than 37 year history of the Third Series (the first generation of E21 appeared in 1975) the car became a reference to manageability, power and style in the class of medium-sized sedans.
What will the cult car be in 2012-2013? We will get acquainted with the photo and video BMW 3, consider the technical characteristics, dimensions and clearance, and designate the configuration and cost of the model.

Body parameters

Generation change favorably reflected on the appearance of the sedan, giving the image a more sporty, bright and energetic look. Compared to the previous generation, the new treshka added a length of 93 mm, the constructors increased by 50 mm wheelbase.
As a result, overalls dimensions The BMW3 sedan of the F30 6 series of generation is: 4624 mm in length, 1811 mm wide, 1430 mm in height, at 2810 mm distances between the axes (wheeled base).
Road clearance directly depends on the type of actuator, in modifications with the classic rear-wheel drive clearance 140 mm, in XDrive models (four-wheel drive) just more than 145 mm.
Depending on the engine installed and the transmission type, the curb weight of the car fluctuates 1400-1600 kg.
Let's start a review from the appearance of the Bavarian Locomotive. The front part with neat, tiny bi-xenon headlights decorated with genuine rings of daylight, "nostrils" of a falseradiator lattice, a bumper fairing with brightly expressed aerodynamic chips, round fiction and stylish inserts for metal. The windshield coefficient of the air flow of the new model is only 0.26 CX. The hood with characteristic postmoving-hubbles is discouraged as if unable to cope with the power outgoing from engines, located in the engine compartment.
The profile of the sedan is harmonious and okay, drowning, got the sharp edges of sending the sidewalls on the sidewalls of the body. Even in the static position of the troika dynamic.
The feed although it looks simple and trivially, but in simplicity the style and charismatic of the car lies. Beautiful plaffers of rear oven lamps with LEDs, embossed bumper, trunk lid with barely catchy spoiler on the edge.
Beautiful, assertive, sporting mass of epithets can be chosen for admiration, really the car looks amazing. A beautiful car should stand on no less beautiful disks and they are certainly present: alloy disks With different figures and dimensions R16, R17, R18 and the possibility of installing R19. Accordingly, there is a low-profile tires - tires Size 205/60 R16, 225/50 R17, 225/40 R18 and 235/35 R19. The size of the tires placed in the wheeled arches a great set, which implies a lot of possible options and combinations.
Buyer Waves to choose from a wide "rainbow" options colors Body Coloring for BMW 3 2012-2013: Two non-metallia - Alpine White (White), Black (Black) and Metallic - Liguid Blue (Blue), Mineral Gray (Dark Gray), Sparkling Bronze (Bronze), Mineral White (White) , Orion Silver (dark silver), Glacier Silver (Light Silver), Imperial Blue (Dark Blue), Melbourne Red (Red), Havanna (mustarder), Black Sapphire (Black).

Assembly quality and interior filling

The new Sedana BMW 3-series 2012-2013 demonstrates reference ergonomics, premium finish materials, the highest quality assembly and the rich filling functions of comfort, safety and entertainment. The hero of our review is primarily a car for the driver, and only then cares about passengers. Driver chair with optimal profile, bright side support and mass options. The steering wheel in the leather braid of the perfect size pleasantly falls into the hands, the dashboard with the usual simple and informative devices, the compact screen of the side computer. A strict front panel deployed toward the driver is a central console, even a tunnel with a highlighted driver's zone. All controls are located in the right places, operate with buttons, twist, levers can with closed eyes - intuitive.
In the second row, thanks to the long database, two passengers will sell comfort, the third will notice the transmission tunnel and protruding the block of ventilation and air conditioning system. But together to sit just gorgeous and freely. The trunk is able to accommodate 480 liters of cargo in its bark, you can add a separate back to significantly increasing the cargo capacity.
Well, the equipment of the new Troika BMW F30 is comparable to representation sedans: leather interior, electric drive and heated front seats, Start-Stop system and a motor start button, color 6.5 inch screen with IDRIVE system (navigator, Internet, auto settings), two-zone climate -Control, multilayer wheel, rain sensor, circular survey system, parking assistant, premium music from Harman Kardon and a lot more. It is a pity that almost all chips are for surcharge.

Technical component

Technique, consisting of a new treshki, also first-class. In Russia, the car is offered with gasoline and diesel engines, two types of gearboxes - the basic mechanics of 6 MCP, and as an option for 100,000 rubles - automatic automatic automatic transmission, as well as the rear or complete XDrive drive. All engines are equipped with a BMW Twin Power Turbo (double turbocharging) company.
Technical characteristics of motors:

Diesel BMW 320 D (184 hp) acceleration up to 100 kmh for 7.6 seconds and maximum speed 230 kmh. Fuel consumption averages 4.4 liters.
Petrol BMW 316i (136 liters) to hundreds for 8.9 seconds at 210 km / m. Maximum speed and 5.9 liters of average fuel consumption.
BMW 320i (BMW 320i xDrive) 2.0 (184 hp) - dynamics up to 100 kmh for 7.3 seconds with the maximum achievable 236 (232kmch), the average consumption of gasoline 6.1 (6.8) liters per 100 km of way.
BMW 328i (BMW 328i xDrive) from 2.0 (245 hp) Spurt to hundreds takes 5.9 (5.7) sec and maximum speed 250 kmh. The average "appetite" of the engine is 6.4 (6.9) liters.
BMW 335i (BMW 335i xDrive) C 3.0 (306 LS) Suns up to 100kmch for 5.5 seconds and electronics will not be dispersed faster than 250 kmm, while the manufacturer promises the average fuel consumption of 7.9 (8.2) liters.

In real operating conditions, the average fuel consumption of gasoline versions does not fall below 8-9 liters, and with a 3rd liter motor below 11-12 liters.
Test drive: The car is characterized by phenomenal controllability due to a balanced chassis and the correct steering settings (the disconnected electrical inspector with variable characteristics of the work). As security systems, a set of ABS, DBC and DSC. Thanks to the changeable settings of the engine characteristics, suspension, steering, gearbox, throttle, the driver is free to choose between the "obedient lamb" - a soft and comfortable or "evil predator" - quick and aggressive. The new BMW 3-series sedan 3-series F30 2012-2013 is more desirable and more desirable, that's just the price is "biting."
How much is the top of the Troika BMW? In Russia, the sale of a new BMW 3 6 generation begins with a price of 1.250 thousand rubles for a modest BMW 316i. And the cost for which you can buy a decent "felling" car, rises to 2.000 thousand rubles for the BMW 335i xDrive. Prices are shown on the basic configuration, in fact the list of options is quite long, and also affects their high cost. For the individualization of the exterior and interior of your Troika, three different design packages are offered: Modern Line, Sport Line and Luxury Line.

An example of a very low clearance on E60, such would not want.

Good day! Interested in, actually, the question is what clearance on E60? Is it possible to increase it anyhow?

I sometimes have to ride in the countryside, i.e. out of town. And there are very bad roads, Kalei and that's all this. And at all, I do not want to cling to the ground, some kind of bed; And in winter it sits on a snowball and cause a tow truck.

An example of high clearance on E60. In my opinion, he here is centimeters under 16, which I need.

I think the optimal road clearance for me would be under 16 cm. And not high, and not low. Although if it can be increased, it would have arranged under 14 cm.

So, summ up:

What clearance in centimeters?
Is it possible to increase it?
1. If possible, how to do it most correctly?

Otherwise, he will stop you:

Evgeny
Clearance on E60 on all modifications (520, 525, 530) equally for our roads misa - 120 mm.

Options for increasing the road lumen are completely different.
- Some craftsmen independently make spacers under the springs,
- others buy rubber soft on the car market already ready
- third put rigid springs from Touring.
All this clear affects the controllability of the car and its wear. There are a lot of opinions. Personally, I believe that the most competent solution of this issue. It is the so-called kit for bad roads, that is, special adapters.

But then there is no other problem, there are no them on E60, you can try to put from E39. But up to 16 cm never take up, up to 14 cm perhaps. In short, on such a car on rustic roads it is better not to travel at all (this is also my opinion))))))
Volodya
Good afternoon.

A friend of BMW 5 E60, so here the melting suspension is 14 cm, he drives after working home outside the city where the roads leave to desire the best. I know he decided his problem clearance in that replaced the spring and shock absorbers. Spacers, I know exactly on his wheelbarrow, not produced. Therefore, he replaced the spring from the Turing body.

But many wizards to overestimate these models are not advised, since the shock absorber is above and trobs are possible. So this is a very delicate idea, and about the spacer, if it hurts it to be imparted to a metalworking plant to a good specialist, which according to the drawings may be able to make them.

On BMW 5 E60, the clearance is 14.5 cm. This causes difficulties in overcoming, for example, a lying police officer or border. To enlarge clearance there are several ways, such as, for example, change shock absorbers, springs, you can also put discs and tires of a larger diameter than you have installed factory.

The last method, by the way, is more sparing and inexpensive, and does not require making changes in the design of your car.

You can try to put the springs new and ordinary Amas, not sports.

I heard that some cut out rubber drawdors. It raises the body a bit, but the springs become tougher And faster the rear supports fail. Since the damper rod rises, the probability of breakdowns is great.

I advise you to put the front and rear adapters from 39 and everything should be fine.

You can try to replace the factory tires and drives to others. They will help some extent to solve the problem with clearance. However, there are its subtleties. The fact is that changing rubber and discs are very controversial occupation. After all, it was not for nothing for this car and put exactly those that cost when buying.

Yes, you solve one problem but:

the result will be, but not as you expect. Do not hope that replacing the discs, the rubber you have a clearance will find such a value with which you can drive like an SUV))) Yes, it will be a little better.
such a replacement will entail the appearance of other problems. It is common and logical: the heavy stroke of the car and the severity in the management of the machine at all!

The second option is to improve depreciation! Again, the clien's problem will not be allowed. Yes, it will be a little easier to ride the broken rural roads, but you will not find the height itself.

My advice is to choose a car according to needs. If you need trips outside the city means a car you need to choose with the calculation of these frequent trips! For the city and for the countryside, the car should differ .. well, you understand it without me :)))
