BMW 745i

Well, BMW was the world like in the company of folks who sit and complain you can close your eyes slow evolutionary design changes. Completely changed, right here bimmer baby out with the bath water.

The engine? It's all new. Hole and stroke familiar, but bulk silicon crystal coated with aluminum pistons and iron block, lightweight aluminum coatings that contain very beginners. Valvetronic continuously variable valve timing and lift system, Gas direct injection lean combustion without emissions fuel economy while eliminating entrainment is provided. 745i horsepower, continuously variable intake manifold and countless friction reduction when combined with other measures of the same size 740i 4.4-liter V-8, an increase of 14 per cent (32 per cent) of the same level.

Transmission? The revolutionary. Five widely spaced ratios from 18 percent six disfeki old lighter in a box.

Suspension? Dynamic drive, at the same time to maintain the level of the spine, hydraulically controlled active anti-roll bars when using the floor breaks (BMW "technical changes the emphasis in the chart, see the topic" October). Driving, stepless variable are corrected by damped shocks (shock in a cylindrical valve, the flow rate of fluid to change, sliding up and down).

The brakes? Innovative, an electronic parking brake function when both are brought together and emergency. Parking brake press the button when the engine is running; enables the hardware of all four hydraulic brakes ABS and stability control. Turn off the engine and an electric motor activates the parking brake rear cable that is run by a traditional hat. This same button also, when you stop holding the brakes and pressed on the gas that could be released when the auto suspend feature enables.

Security? Jawohl! The usual front, side and head Airbag in the pipe you have now in the back Mr. & Mrs. Big one for protection - plus a knee Airbag in front of new. (These are sold in North America just forces your seatbelt.) Swelling of the glands, the front head restraints active headrests that uses a pyrotechnic charge to push them forward add. Front seat belt re tractors, a cap, a thick torsion bar from kayganlastirmak more twists, more dilute limiting a torsion bar which moves a pyrotechnic force brings. Airbags, pre-tensioning and a pyrotechnic display when the battery is disconnected, the total number of fireworks takes the lead to 17, and 10 multiplication with the sensor controller with intelligent safety and Information System guided by a new and more powerful they are.

What creature comforts? The gadget of the new 7 series is pushing the envelope. Ridiculous (Electric blinds for rear doors, Electric door lock, Power open and close trunk lid), the Almighty (double-pane Windows, adaptive Cruise Control, Keyless Entry and ignition, fully programmable ranges with hinged seats as standard and optional equipment-Compartment Heating fan cooling and nine). Naturally, the navigation system and Embedded Web surf, but the number of buttons on the dash is being cut dramatically.

How is this possible? Known as idrive function 700, a single rotary push-button by compressing. "I" means us short and intuitive so that has ensured our attempt is actually a parked car. The system is easy to navigate - hover a menu button and skip to another place and leave one of the four Cardinal Compass directions. Menus, buttons, force feedback provides electromechanical - button in the other menus when the mouse hovers over a menu item the button is locked and stops at setting boundaries. Press DOWN button to make a selection. It is generally used Radio, temperature and fan controls keeps you on line their own clubs. Ergonomic idrive until you start the car in the judiciary (and the colon modifier scrolls) we'll save.

Of course, that can open the doors themselves from every angle of the car service and the work on the memory chip that stores information in a series about the history of a contact switch such as there is a lot more. However, we've run out of space, and we didn't touch the body; 1.8 inches long, 1.6 inches wider and 2.2 inches taller 740i from the former. Indeed, suspension, fenders, hood and extensive use of aluminum in the body, The weight helps to keep at the level of 50 lb 740i 2001.

And when it comes to looks? You tell us. We can assure you that personally has more gravity than it is in the pictures. 745i a lot more when we get closer to the launch in January and continue to set the 745i luxury sedan will compete with a dot at the top of the heap.

LOWER-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Most automatics, each with its own sun, planet and ring Gears of a planetary gear set uses the classic two or three. BMW's new ZF 6HP26 transmission, a ring gear, a gear that timbre, but two gears on the sun gear driving the planet carrier of the composite combines the two teams on a common set. Advantages of 6.04%, a very large proportion (fifth-best for the transfer and 4.46 speed CVT than a competitor (which is) involved in a wide range of a six speed; Compactness; and the converter to reduce the torque converter load and the ability to keep the rest of the warming.

THE LONG PROCESS OF THE VARIABLE

Variable-length runners in the intake manifold of the engine to broaden the torque curve. Ideal intake runner length, it depends on the RPM, some engines vary between the length of two or three runners. BMW, returning 9.1 lengths plenum 110 degrees throughout a hive (blue arrows) and 26.5 inches (red arrows), ranging from intake runners by using takes that a step further. The arms rotate in opposite directions and the right and left cylinder banks of the brain.
