BMW X5 Security
Shielded to any evidence BMW X5 Security
BMW, based on its BMW X5 all the way, has developed a special version for those who need to have an armored vehicle and do not want to resign or good performance, or the comfort and equipping a large saloon, or the ability to leave the asphalt itself a model in this category.
The theme of the armored vehicles is part of the history of BMW and carrying more than thirty years to develop and produce these special vehicles. Until now, BMW had in its bid for its armored saloons larger and more powerful. According to the mark, the BMW X5 Security is the first model in its segment that meets the standards of protection DIN 1063 and DIN EN EN 12522/23-1 with a degree VR4 which means that it is able to withstand impacts from 44 Magnum, 357 Magnum or 9mm Luger.
One premise that more is demanded from these vehicles is the discretion and in this case BMW has done its homework well as the outside the BMW X5 Security is not for nothing distinguishes a conventional BMW X5.
On the inside there is also no "clues" that indicate to us that this is a different car because all the additional controls that carries this BMW X5 Security are perfectly integrated into one of the coasters are located next to the gear and has a closure rate curtain to hide them.
All the commanders leading the BMW X5 Security are perfectly integrated into one of the coasters are located next to the gear lever.
All the commanders leading the BMW X5 Security are perfectly integrated into one of the coasters are located next to the gear lever.
The main differences from a conventional BMW X5 focus on the shielding of the body, either as the passenger's luggage, and all the windows. There is also an intercom that allows you to speak with the outside without having to download any window and a high-performance cameras that can control the entire perimeter of the car vision in the screen on the dashboard of the car. These cameras allow even get a full picture of what is on both sides of the body when we look at an intersection or got out of a garage as they are located on the sides of paragolpes.
BMW X5 If necessary, you can activate an alarm from inside the car that blocks all doors of the car, the windows go up automatically if they are open and throws light signals and noise.
This preparation involves little more than 500 kilograms overweight, with respect to an equivalent BMW X5 which are mounted springs and dampers specific, modifying the software for regulating the chassis and is included as part of the equipment of both the active leadership as the Adaptive Drive. In addition, the tires allowed to travel for more than 50 km at a speed of 80 km / h without pressure.
The benefits of its V8 engine of BMW X5 4.8 liters and 355 hp power are still more than enough to step out quickly to any situation of danger: 210 km / hr speed limit and 7.5 seconds to reach 100 km / h starting from a standstill.
The BMW X5 Security is produced entirely by the German mark. The BMW X5 is leaving the assembly line located in Spartanburg (South Carolina) and adds everything for the shield in the Toluca (Mexico).
Great, but "clean" BMW X5 Vision EfficientDynamics
BMW wants to show how you play with your fingertips so that technology as an BMW X5 "run" like a BMW X5 and spent only BMW X5 6.5 liters of diesel to a hundred kilometers.
The BMW X5 has the form of mock-up, because this is a demonstrator, laden with possible ways of reducing consumption and emissions, using techniques within reach now and in the medium term. It is called Vision EfficientDynamics, something like "Vision Efficient Dynamics."
Of course, going to be a X5 hybrid, combined with an electric motor with two-liter biturbo of 204 horses used in several of its models. A pack of lithium batteries to 120 volts in the trunk give the energy required when it is needed to join both engines, while in deductions, are recharged.
A roof solar panels of one square meter supplement energy production, which may be used to warm fluids such as diesel fuel or oil for shortening the inefficient warm-up phase. The electrical energy drink also the compressor, air conditioning or water pump, traditionally driven by the combustion engine. All of a jump in voltage with respect to the consolidated ever studies of networks to 42 volts. Scheme very similar to what we see in the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, etc., not in vain core development was done jointly by DaimlerChrysler, BMW and GM. With the careful aerodynamics in the tires, saying that a 160 km / h would save a horse and that its profit has not been included in the calculations of the consumption of the prototype.
Hall Detroit 2007 BMW: presentation of the renewed 3 Series convertible and X5
The U.S. market is one of the most important for BMW, struggling to gain market share in that country. In this edition of the Detroit Hall displays two of its latest innovations: the 3 Series convertible and the renewed range of the BMW X5.
The big star is, on this occasion, the BMW 3 Series convertible, which does not hit the market until next spring. Initially be available with new engines, gasoline direct injection, 218 hp BMW 325i and 335i of 306 hp, while others will be mounted later on gasoline and diesel mechanics.
If you want to know more detail, do not forget to visit the recently published novel with all the details of this new 3 Series
For his part, the BMW X5, the vast terrain of the Bavarian house, is also shown for the first time in the United States with its new configuration. For the European public was made in the past Hall of Paris.
Now, the powerful 4x4, one of the pioneers of the SUV category, it offers more features and much more habitailidad. You have all the information in this article on the BMW X5
In addition, in full battle to demonstrate what the brand is more environmentally friendly cars, BMW also showed the Hydrogen 7. It will be the first hydrogen car into series production, but, yes, the issue will be very limited: only a hundred units. Instead of using fuel cell technology, line of work of all manufacturers, opt for using hydrogen as fuel directly. That is, the car carries a conventional combustion engine in which, in addition to gasoline, it can burn hydrogen.
Salon Automobile Paris 2006 New BMW X5
The second-generation BMW X5, the premium all-terrain from BMW, is to fall. Their bets are clear: more dynamic, more habitable interior and the latest technology.
It seems it was yesterday, but it has been seven years since we were surprised with the BMW X5, its first all-terrain. Things were pretty good, as it has managed to sell more than half a million units within a segment complicated, both because of the purchase price by rivals who were appearing along the way (Volkswagen Touareg, Porsche Cayenne, Volvo XC90, Lexus RX ...)
The new BMW X5 will be bigger than its rivals. It grows nearly 19 centimeters and reached 4.85 meters in length, the width has also increased -6 centimeters, and goes up to 1.93 meters. This has earned space and functionality for occupants and for the trunk, which now allows the 620 liters (110 more than the previous model). The increase in centimeters on the inside makes the BMW X5 has the possibility, optionally, to have a third row of two individual seats, which are under the retractable floor of the trunk. However, BMW warns that those two extra seats are designed for people who do not exceed 1.70 meters.
More quality rolling
One of the goals is to provide the BMW X5 for greater dynamism and agility, as it has done a more rigid body and aerodynamics, engines and more powerful devices have been added, optional, including active steering and stabilization system of the lateral inclination and automatically adjusting shock absorbers.
The geometry of the suspensions has not changed and remained the front axle McPherson with a double triangle and parallelogram deformable bottom with two arms double superimposed behind. The only variation is a softer support of the support of the rear axle, which improves the comfort of the running. BMW reports that the chassis is new, but we lack information on whether the battle has increased, while taking into account the increase in the size, everything seems to indicate yes.
What is confirmed is an arduous job with the bodywork, now more rigid, in order to make it more resilient and more aerodynamic, with a Cx of 0.33-0.36 -. earlier era
Less engines, more powerful
Regarding the engines, the range has been reconfigured. Before offering four options mechanics, three petrol (231 bhp 3.0i, 4.4i 320 and BMW 4.8is 360 hp) and BMW X5 Diesel (3.0d of 218 hp), but now, at first, only three will be available Two petrol (4.8i 355 hp and 272 hp 3.0si) and a diesel (231 bhp 3.0d). Here's the comparison table between the thrusters that will equip the new BMW X5 and those of his predecessor.
Almost everything as an option
Optionally, the new BMW X5 can equip two items that improve it once the behavior of this terrain. The first is an active steering, which varies depending on the assistance of speed. Until about 90 km / h is more direct, in order to raise their sportsmanship, while at higher speeds is more indirect, to enable a more comfortable driving on straight. Coupled with this device we have the Servotronic system, which causes the vehicle to recover the trajectory when sobrevira in difficult situations.
The system AdaptiveDrive also an option in the new BMW X5, is another of the innovations of the German TT. This device is responsible for the electronically controlled damping and stabilizer bars and avoid, by the way, an excessive inclination of the vehicle. There are two settings for this element: sporty or comfort.
The BMW X5 debuts, with the aim of increasing the response speed of such devices, a new data transmission system, known as Femtocells. Developed by the BMW, the brand that this technology sends information at speeds up to now unattainable.
Security in the driving
The terrain of the Bavarian marking still has traction total Xdrive, with a pair in normal 40:60 between the two axes. This distribution is variable, depending on the situation or the nature of the terrain where it is circulating. At the same time, is able to counter any tendency to sobrevirar or subvirar in curves.
Integrated with this element is the dynamic stability control (DSC as BMW calls it), with an optimized operating in this new generation BMW X5, and features such as antilock brake system, automatic stability control (ASC ), Control downhill slopes (HDC), dynamic brake control (DBC) and cornering brake control (CBC).
The BMW X5 is associated with all its new mechanical automatic gearbox of six relationships, according to the brand, offers greater speed, precision and efficiency. Releases a new torque converter and software set to reduce the reaction time and changing gears as much as 50 percent, compared to similar changes automatic. The selector lever of this new box is electronic and it works now, rather than mechanically, but through electrical signals. So the force to implement the tours is minimal and very short (the lever back to its original position after every movement), which wins in ergonomics and comfort of use.
The latest technology is also present in the BMW X5, albeit optional. Thus, incorporating the new system Head-Up Display projected onto the windshield that various data on the speed, navigation and other devices, a new lighting system-xenon headlights with adaptive and function of changing lights short / long Auto-DVD system for the second row of seats and assistance to the camera with rear parking, among others.
Design without radical changes
Finally, speaking of the design touches. BMW X5 The changes are not radical, but it is no longer noticed. In the front, the headlamps and air intakes are larger and lines of the bonnet are more fluid and aerodynamic, while the rear also gets a redesign of the groups and the optical gate, side view, however, differences with his predecessor are almost imperceptible.

The BMW X5 will share ownership with the new 3 Series Coupe. Autopista.es already had the opportunity to establish a first contact with the new generation. Now you can access the inside information on the BMW 3 Series Coupe

More engine and transmission "smart" New image for the BMW X5
After four years of success in the market, BMW has just announced an update of its first model "off road", the BMW X5. New transmission system, more powerful engines and a modern design are the main axes of the updated model.
2004 BMW X5
In early December will be available at dealerships in the Bavarian mark a new edition of the BMW X5, which brings interesting mechanical and technological solutions.

More power
The update of the BMW X5 will be accompanied by two new engines: the V8 of 4.4 liters of petrol and diesel common rail of BMW X5 3.0 liters. Beginning in spring 2004, will incorporate a new version sports: the BMW X5 4.8is.
BMW X5 HIGHLIGHTS
The BMW X5 is the first "large SUV" which gets five stars in the EuroNCAP tests.
Known in the 7 Series last generation, this V8 4.4-liter automatic gearbox with six-speed develops an output of 327 hp, a figure sufficient to allow the BMW X5 4.4i accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 7.0 seconds. The maximum speed is 240 km / h, provided that the vehicle tires mounted special high-speed V, which are included as standard for the German market. In case of tire wear type M, the maximum speed is limited to 210 km / h.
It has bixenón new system, which provides high-quality lighting and six-speed automatic box.
The BMW X5 3.0d has a number of improvements, as a system of common rail direct injection of the second generation, which allows providing a power of 218 hp and a torque figure of over 50 mkg. With this data, announces an acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 8.3 seconds and a top speed of 210 km / h. In terms of consumption, the new BMW X5 3.0d promises a cost of only 8.6 liters of diesel. Also in this case, the BMW X5 rides on the new series of six-speed automatic box.
Innovative transmission system xDrive
The smart drive system, called xDrive, is responsible for the distribution and continuously variable driving force between front and rear axles.
It uses information from sensors on the wheels, which indicate at what point are spinning out of contact with the ground and also the data collected by the sensors of the DSC stability system: the percentage of yaw, information regarding the movement of the rotary vehicle and the position of the steering wheel. In this way, the BMW X5 xDrive system can distribute the driving force in an optimal way, and at any time between the two axes, which reduces the possibility of understeer or oversteer.
According announces the mark, the system operates within a few milliseconds since he lost the friction between wheel and the surface, so that the driving force is redistributed between the wheels that still have grip.
New look
As for the aesthetics of the BMW model, those responsible for the design have wanted to print a more dynamic model with the use of solutions in the last known brand products.
BMW X5 The front has been modified with more pronounced veins on the hood and is accentuated with alternating convex and concave surfaces. The main lines of the bonnet are more wide and high and run up the grill typical of BMW, with "kidneys" of greater dimensions. The optical groups have a more tapered profile, in line with the current range BMW, luminous ring around the four headlights, as we saw in the previous 5 Series. On the back are incorporated tulipa pilots with transparent glass.
A failure in the brakes forced to repair 164,000 units of terrain BMW X5 called to review the
A total of 164,000 units of all-terrain luxury BMW X5 will be called upon to review by the German firm to resolve a bug that has been located on the brakes on this model. According to BMW, a defect in the subjection of the brake fluid pipes cause them to drop their fixation and break.
Apparently, BMW engineers have realized that the rubber tubes that make up the circuit's brake fluid are poorly anchored to the bars of the front suspension, which could break loose and scratched by the movement of suspension and direction, broken and lose the liquid. This could cause the total failure of the front brakes.
For now, BMW has not had news that this problem has caused any accident, but do not want to wait until they occur, so it convenes this massive revision. Curiously, the BMW X5 already suffered another call of this type in July 2002 when 56,000 units were forced to go through the workshops so that they changed the brake pedal.
BMW X5
The cars affected by the review were built between August 1999 and April 2002. It is believed that in total will pass through the workshops about 164,000 BMW X5, which will cost a BMW for five million euros. For homeowners will be completely free.
Approximately 20,000 of the units involved in the review were sold in Germany, while the remainder was earmarked for export. About 40 percent of the cars that went abroad was sent to the United States, the main market for the BMW X5.
So far, since its introduction in 1999, BMW sold a total of 240,000 units of the BMW X5 around the world. The car BMW X5, which offers three versions (3.3 BMW Turbo, 4.4 and 4.6 petrol) has become a benchmark for the category of all-terrain lightweight high-end. Their prices range from 48,300 to 84,000 euros.
Some vehicles have been sold in Spain BMW calls for revision to 95,000 units of the Mini and the X5
BMW has called to review 38,700 units of the Mini brand and 56,000 of all-terrain BMW X5 sold worldwide, including in Spain.

According to Gigi Corbetta, director of Communications at BMW Ibérica, the Mini has found that a pin from one of the selectors of the gearbox could break, which would cause difficulties to insert a new march.
The ruling would affect 38,700 units - BMW X5 both of Cooper as the One - manufactured between July 2001 and May 2002 at the plant that the group owns in Oxford, southeast England. These defective vehicles have been sold around the world, including in our country.
Corbetta says it has already notified the revision to the buyers and repair, "which lasted barely a minute," is so completely free. According to advance a spokesman for the company from Germany, this massive call to review cost the group 3.9 billion euros (nearly 649 million pesetas).
It is not the first time that the myth of pop passes resuscitated by the workshops: Just two months after the start of its marketing in Britain, there was a bug that could cause a fire hose when inserted into the gasoline tank fuel.
The Mini has become a secure value for the accounts of BMW, which has seen its sales were higher by 20 per cent their own expectations.
Also on BMW X5
The BMW X5, the all-terrain luxury brand Bavaria, is also the subject of reparations. On this occasion, the fault is located in "a Grupillo the brake pedal, which may cause the blockage of it when driving a low speed.
The vehicles are called upon to review 56,000 units manufactured between August 1999 and February 2001, some models also arrived in Spain.
BMW Ibérica stresses that "in any case, drivers have been left without brakes" and that buyers are warned. The repair of these models will lead the group a disbursement of 2.4 billion euros (more than 399 million pesetas).
