The tuning team worked on the finalization of the "fastest" BMW M5E60 for eight months. It is confirmed that by speed parameters the car is faster Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche models with Turbo and Maserati modification. The car received engine firmware up to 640 hp, sports manifolds, SuperSprint exhaust, increased performance injectors - all this allows you to reach speeds of over 400 km / h.
Fine-tuning the car required an investment of 200 thousand dollars, one of the best teams of Russian auto mechanics, tuning professionals worked on the car. “This is the fastest BMW M5E60 in Russia, it is built on the verge of reasonable and possible. We named it "Shadow" because it was made for the night. And I created it for racing with sportbikes, because I am no longer interested in competing with other cars, ”says street racer Eric Davidovich. In two months, BMW will receive an additional compressor, and its capacity will increase even more. In racing mode, the fuel consumption of the M5E60 is 30 liters of 98 gasoline per 100 km.
The creators of the modified version of the car claim that it is one of a kind in many ways. In particular, the E60 body has long been discontinued and the multimedia and control systems have become obsolete. Therefore, the creators have implemented the NBT system on the car, which BMW puts on its top models only on special orders. You can talk to the system, ask to turn on the disk or name the street and house number - and the computer will turn on the music or select navigation and even take into account traffic jams.
The car is covered with five layers of film to get exactly the right color that attracts the eye. The wheels were made according to Davidovich's sketches, the author's interior was made to order, just like the steering wheel, for the manufacture of which the rider's personal parameters were taken - the length of the fingers, the width of the girth, and individual stiffness was selected.
We turned to experts for comment. As Maria Bugaeva, BMW and Alpina brand manager of ABTODOM, the official distributor of these brands in Russia, told Za Rulem.RF, “a much more balanced result can be achieved by turning not to the services of tuning agencies, but to professionals. Thus, the BMW Alpina B3 with a base price of 88,087 euros (105,890 euros with the option package) accelerates to 100 km/h in 4 seconds and can be operated without compromising engine life at a maximum speed of 305 km/h. Torque serial sports car from the German town of Buchloe is 600 Nm in the range from 3000-4000 rpm. At the same time, the car demonstrates fuel consumption in the urban cycle of 10.6 liters per 100 kilometers, and when driving on the highway, it drops to 6.3 liters. The 540-horsepower BMW Alpina B7, which accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.2 seconds, is offered in the basic configuration for 157,079 euros, and with a full range of options, the price of this limousine with the character of a real sports car does not exceed 190,000 euros. The main differences between the products of professionals and the fruit of creativity of handicraft masters are the exact calculation and balance of the components and assemblies of the car.
Many motorists are interested in this question: "BMW" or "Mercedes" - which is better?" And this is very important, because each of these German concerns produces really
Car popularity
Recently, you can see that dealers German manufacturers became very popular. One can see an actively growing interest in the company's products. However, this can be understood, since each of these companies operates in the premium class, that is, it makes high-quality cars. Their popularity is justified enough affordable prices(by European standards). But if the question arises: "BMW" or "Mercedes" - which is better?" - then it should be noted that although their prices are close, specifications absolutely different. Everything is different from them: from design to design features. But there is something in common. it high quality.
“No” competition
It must be said that the Mercedes is a car that is a pleasure to drive in the suburbs, where you can easily drive a thousand kilometers without stopping in a few hours. The machine is easy to operate - this is one of the trump cards of manufacturers. Needless to say about how such a car behaves in the city. A very efficient vehicle. And four-seater classic coupes look just as stylish as standard doubles. And with all this, in terms of comfort, they are in no way inferior to sedans. By the way, if you talk about "BMW" or "Mercedes" - which is better?", then I must say that in this case the rule of the "big three" applies. Don't forget Audi. But still the first two are more similar to each other. However, they have not competed with each other for a long time. Manufacturers of these cars work solely to satisfy their customers, not to outdo each other.
Main characteristics
Before answering the question: "BMW or Mercedes - which is better?" - you should list the main technical characteristics and features that are inherent in all cars of these brands. So let's start with the second one. "Mercedes" is distinguished by the unsurpassed quality of finishing materials, by how smoothly and at the same time its controls react quickly (these include the steering wheel, automatic transmission, gas pedal and brake mechanisms). It is also necessary to make a reservation that in cars of this brand there is very high noise insulation, which ensures absolute comfort inside the cabin. And now about BMW. These are high-tech machines, in which all organs are aimed at pro-sport settings. These include very fast gear changes, instant gas pedal response, sensitive brakes and excellent handling.
Service
Every car needs regular inspection. This is necessary so that it lasts a long time and is true. And especially careful supervision is needed expensive cars. And here the question arises main topic- which is more expensive to maintain, "BMW" or "Mercedes"? It all depends on the problems that arose in the car. In general, there are plenty of parts and tools for both brands, repairs and maintenance for them will cost about the same. But we must remember: BMW and Mercedes are some of the most prestigious and sophisticated cars of our time. Accordingly, maintenance should be highest level.
Level of reliability and excellence
So Mercedes. The design keeps up with the times and fashion, excellent technical characteristics. These qualities cannot leave motorists all over the world indifferent. And the safety of cars of this brand is a separate issue. The developers have made every effort to produce high-quality models. It was this concern that developed innovations, which after a while were recognized as inventions included in the list of the most important in automotive industry. Let's say Mercedes-Benz S-class. This car does not care about any roads. Icy ice, melted snow, rain, blizzard… the car drives as if none of this exists, smoothly, without shaking. And reliable seat belts, made of high-strength material, firmly fix the passenger, but at the same time do not disturb the comfortable ride.
Since we are talking about which is more reliable - "BMW" or "Mercedes", then we should consider a representative of another concern. You can, for example, take the BMW X5 - a car that once struck all lovers of this brand. Excellent four airbags, alloy wheels, climate and cruise control, rain sensor, and even heated seats. And this is just a list of characteristics that show how comfortable it is in the car - to be sure about the basic configuration. From the foregoing, we can confidently say that BMW and Mercedes are the best German representatives - high quality, reliability, stylish design, and all this is time-tested. So what choice to make - "Mercedes" or "BMW" - this is up to each individual to decide. In any case, it will be a justified decision.
