10 parimat BMW'd läbi aja

[Raivo]

Päris huvitav artikkel, mille sai interneti avarustest leitud.

E30 3-Series (1987-1991)
In 1987, BMW gently facelifted the E30 3-Series, replacing the chrome bumpers with full-length body-coloured plastic ones, while removing chrome detailing elsewhere, too. And so the yuppie mobile was born. Rarely has so minor a facelift proven so successful; the 3-Series now looked great, just at the right time, and BMW’s upward sales spiral commenced. The company has never looked back, and can thank this car. It can be brought for three-figure sums today, yet flawless mechanical integrity means they’re still decent drives, so long as you watch the back end in the wet...

E36 3-Series (1991-1998)
If the E30 were responsible for BMW’s success, its E36 successor cemented it. Compared to what went before, this was revolutionary, with perfectly proportioned styling that even today still looks fantastic. It used to be the low-slung coupe that looked best, but the chunky four-door saloon is starting to win more fans as the years pass. It was groundbreaking beneath too, debuting BMW’s famous Z-axle rear suspension that cured all the waywardness without diluting the fun. Smaller engines are underpowered but still sweet; buy a Ŗ3k straight-six 325i for budget entertainment you never thought possible.


3-Series Compact (1995-1999)
It’s easy to get a mid-‘90s BMW hatchback for under Ŗ2,000. It looks like the E36 saloon (even though suspension tech is more E30) and has a tidy, if underpowered, engine line-up. Aspects of the interior may, surprisingly, be low-rent and dated, but come on! This, or a Ford Escort. Which would you seriously prefer? The Compact is also a very significant model as it signalled BMW’s intention to become more ‘mainstream’, years before the 1-Series. It wasn’t an unbridled sales success but it nevertheless proved to those within BMW that they could do ‘budget’ cars without losing prestige. 1-Series and, arguably, MINI are the result.


528i (1997-2003)
The best car in the real world? It was when it was launched back in 1997, and for keener drivers, it probably remains so, almost a decade on. Not only was it devoid of flaws, it did nearly everything so incredibly well, particularly for the driver. The handling was pin-sharp, steering beautifully weighted and the six-cylinder engine a purring peach that also returned good economy figures. That you can buy it for Ŗ3,000 is nothing short of incredible. Spend Ŗ4k and you’ve a car for life that we reckon outpoints the latest one for driver satisfaction.


6-Series (original) (1976-1989)
Introduced in 1976 and changed little to the end of production in 1989, the 635CSi is the closest you’ll get to a workable ‘classic’ BMW. It’s a cracking old-school drive, with smooth straight-six power and surprising pace considering the price you pay for a minter – less than Ŗ5k. The ultimate is the 286bhp M635CSi (using the famous M1’s engine, for 60mph in 6.4 seconds!), but you’ll be lucky to find one at any price – only 5,800 were built. How good is it? Reviewers at the time rated it more highly than the 850i that effectively replaced it.


X5 (2000-)
The most entertaining off-roader on the road. Yes, on the road. You’ll never see an X5 tackling anything rougher than a muddy field – that’s because, despite appearances, its natural home is a twisting backroad, the more challenging, the better. 3.0-litre diesel engines are preferable to petrol units, while the 4.4-litre V8s are surprisingly cheap and sorely tempting if you can afford the fuel. Maddest? The 4.6iS, which would be called an MX5 if it weren’t for Mazda. It’s astonishing. Five years on, they still fly out of showrooms and set a trend for everyone else to follow. A classic in the making.


Z3 M Coupe (1998-2003)
The Z3 M Roadster mated a sloppy chassis to a 3.2-litre M-tuned straight six. The results weren’t pretty. BMW engineers knew this so worked in their spare time to find a solution. Many burnt dinners later, out rolled the M Coupe, with stiffer bodyshell that looked utterly unique. A Z3 estate? It was superbly idiosyncratic, yet far better to drive – more accurate, more stable and less liable to leeriness. As a result, it reeks class today and still costs serious money. But what an investment in a car that fans will pay big money for in years to come.


8-series (1990-1999)
The start of the ‘90s, and BMW was on a technological roll that saw the launch of the ultra-complex 8-Series. A more luxurious four-seat replacement for the 6-Series, it employed the very latest in gadgetry and one of the sweetest 5.0-litre V12 engines in the world. At the time, testers complained that all the tech made it soulless, but 15 years on, it’s quite an experience. Chances are it will all still work too, which means you can buy quite a remarkable car for little more than Ŗ6k. Even better, go for the later, sportier 840i V8, which is more satisfying even though it lacks that astounding V12. Modern BMW suspension theories started with this car.


7-series (1995-2002)
Bond, driving a 7-Series, just didn’t look right. But YOU in a 7-Series, from just Ŗ2,500? (Yes, really – Ŗ2,500, for a 10-year-old one). Now that’s much more like it. You can indulge in 007-levels of goodies too, as all are stocked just as you’d expect a luxury car of the 1990s to be. Various engines, but such is the top-line 750i’s thirst, it often sells for the same as most-popular 728i straight-sixes. We’d be torn between them, but would probably go for the smaller-engine’d car as it’s more nimble and fun to drive. A scruffy old Scenic or some of these – which would the family prefer?


Mini (2001-)
We’re being a bit cheeky, but even by recent standards, there haven’t been many more successful ‘BMWs’. Rumour has it, MG Rover engineers were responsible for a lot of the engineering, but to drive, the feel is very BMW, even if the Chrysler-sourced engines let things down. Just like the original, it’s become a mass-selling style icon that hasn’t become a pastiche, and given the choice between a Cooper S and a 130i to blast on a twisty backroad, we know which we’d take, central instruments, whining supercharged note and all. A brilliant British-built success story.

see artikkel tõstis küll vist kõigi E36-e omanike ego ülikõrgele . minul küll tõstis.

Pets, underpowered E36 omanik.

[Silwer]

Aga mis oli läbi aegade kõige enammüüdud BMW keremudel?

E30 või E36?

[jjanno]

Tere

Aga mis oli läbi aegade kõige enammüüdud BMW keremudel?

E30 - 2 235 535. Kes leiab E36 vastava arvu?

suhtelistelt jabur artikkel

millegipärast on 8s pandud parimate hulka, samas 99,99% autoajakirjanikke arvab teisiti, samuti vaata müügiarve

enne E30 on kõik nagu unustatud

siiski oli see E10, mis sportlikele kompaktsedaanidele aluse pani, mitte E30

samuti 3.0CSL ja teised veerevad verstapostid

[Tanel_P]

See ei peagi kuldne tõde olema, Aare. Lihtsalt ühe ajakirjaniku arvamus kuskil "interneti sügavustes". Ilmselt võttis ta midagi arvesse ka, aga erinevaid andmeid võib ju ka erinevalt käsitleda.

[karvapall]

aga las siinsed vanad pakuvad enda top10...

[Suur]

Ja aru ma ei saa, miks sealt reast E32 puudub R6 või V12, vahet pole.

[Tanel_P]

Mina nimetaks samuti parimaks facelifti läbi teinud E30 (ka M3). Teiseks pre-facelift E30. Kolmas võiks olla E32, mis on kõigist kolmest vast kaunim ehk siis kauneim auto maailmas minu arvates. Aga 3stel on teisi eeliseid, mis kaaluvad E32 omad üles. IMO

[bristhead]

Nimetaks siis e24, e30, e32, e34

Nii. Ise küsin - ise vastan. Meenus üks Wirxi link siin teemas. Tulemused on erinevates dokumentides küll natukene erinevad, kuid suurusjärgud on ehk ikka õiged.
E36: 3 042 396
E30: 2 344 341
E21: 1 356 244
E34: 1 331 056

Uuemaid seal ei ole.

no e32 jääb küll oma tootmisarvuga neist numbritest kaugele.
e32: 311 045

[Mr.Black]

Seda haruldasemaks nad ka jäävad Reims

[AARE540]

Minu meelest on suur vahe, kas kõne all on parim või populaarseim BMW.

[raili]

Yes yes, have to admit, E36 is really lovely... ´´with perfectly proportioned styling that even today still looks fantastic´´.

Ära unusta, et see artikkel on tõenäoliselt mingi 2005 aastal kirjutatud

Ega see aasta mind ei heiduta. Selles mõttes, et minu lempar on Ta alati ja hea lugeda ikkagi (no matter what time).

Muidugi, igaühel oma lemmikud. Aga 2005 aastal vaatasin mina ja kindlasti ka väga paljud teised, et E36 on üks väga ilus masin. Tänapäeval neid pole enam palju järel kes nii arvavad.

Ega jah, maitse üle ei ole mõtet vaielda. Lihtsalt minu jaoks on See olnud ja jäänud all time favouritsiks (GT 500i kõrval).

[m2x]

Minu jaoks isiklikult on E36 ja E34 viimased BMW'd, mis kannavad auga oma märgi välja. See on ainult minu arvamus minu jaoks- ärge näkku ja vööpiirkonda lööge...
E34 on absoluutne lemmik, E36 läheb kohe tihedalt kannul, aga omale ostaks ainult siis, kui ühtegi vähemalt kaheliitrise mootoriga E34 saadaval poleks- minu jaoks natuke pisike auto ikkagi
E30 on ehk minu jaoks pingereas kolmas, kuid igapäevaautona enam sellega ei sõidaks. Edasi kindlasti E28 aga sealt läheks asi juba raskeks...

[leko]

Huvitav kuidas E39 528 sinna nimekirja sai.
E39 peaks nagu vist läbiaegade kõige kehvem olema ?

[ooDDoo]

Sõidu ja kasutusmugavuselt on näiteks sama aja masinatest e46 kõvasti kehvem.

[marek555]

Sõidu ja kasutusmugavuselt on näiteks sama aja masinatest e46 kõvasti kehvem.

Ehk defineerid mõisted sõidu- ja kasutusmugavus ning tood ära ka need masinad, mis nendes oluliselt paremad on, täitsa huvitav oleks teada.

[ooDDoo]

Kasutusmugavus on kindlasti sõitjateruum ja igasugu rohked lisad. Ja sõidumugavusel poolelt võib kohe viidata kahele õõtsoovale esisillas ja õhkvedrustusele tagasillas. Kaal on masinatel enamvähem sama, aga e39 -saga tunduvalt sujuvam sõita.

Lähtuksin pigem sellest, et kolmene ongi väiksem, soodsam ja lihtsam.
See, et viiene on suurem, mugava, lisaderohkem, kallim - see teebki sellest viiese.
Ehk siis no offence aga niimoodi võrrelda vist ei ole päris õige.

Baasvarustus on ka vist viienda kasuks (täpselt ei tea). Õigem oleks vist võrrelda detailide kvaliteeti, tüüpvigasi, koostamis kvaliteeti ?

[ooDDoo]

Kellele ema.. kellele tütar. Nii me võimegi siin elulõpuni vaidlema jääda. Selge on see, et iga L kiidab ikka oma V.
Olen saanud palju tagasisidet inimestelt kes on e39-sast e46-te läinud ja kahetsevad oma valikut.

[prelude20]

No mu meelest e36 näeb praegugi hea välja.
Auto kus kõik õigesti tehtud seest ja väljast - viimase lõpu e38
Auto kus kõik oli valesti-tuttava pr fl roheline , kõige plangum 525tds e39 siin pool ekvaatorit. Isegi linnud ei plekitand seda.
Auto mis aja alati vere keema liikluses - 135M
