The Germans do the uberdiesel finally out to cloths. In addition to pull you even faster at the traffic lights the road with the thickest 1-series.
We start with the celebratory news in the field of BMW M Performance. Where the M135i and M235i to now, the allerdikste versions were the M Performance had to offer, BMW now with the M140i and M240i. A new six-in-line produces 340 hp and 500 Nm of torque. The TwinPower Turbo spends 0.3 seconds faster to 100 km/h in comparison with the 35i and have a further seven per cent more fuel-efficient. The new engine is available for the entire range. This means both the 3 and the 5-door 1-series and 2-series coupe and convertible.
Who is a vending machine box in combination with xDrive on the M140i/M240i in 4.4 seconds to the hundred-sprinting. These values are striking, since you are now practically almost as quick to 100 km/h (tap) as a 370-horsepower BMW M2 to over 80 mille (4,3 seconds with DCT). A nice technical feature is that the Launch Control ‘smarter’ is made. On the basis of GPS coordinates defines the car how much power is released on the wheels so most of the grip offer an ideal acceleration. Also the manual zesbak has a nice piece of news. This gives automatically from now on tussengas at the back. A feature that we already knew, among others, the Porsche Cayman GT4.
In addition to the M140i and the M240i reveals BMW also the much talked about 750d xDrive. The turbo turbo turbo turbo diesel gets 400 hp and 760 Nm of torque. The figures were already somewhat known, but just to confirm: 0-100 km/h comes in 4.6 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. This is the new 750d xDrive is 0.3 seconds faster than its predecessor. BMW returns a combined fuel consumption at between 5,9 and 5,7 l/100km. Of course, this configuration also to order as 750Ld xDrive.
BMW keeps the lips are equally stiff on each other when it comes to prices. The uber-diesel and the two 140i models in July to order.
