A historical introduction to BMW?
BMW refers to the cars produced by BMW. The main series models are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. It is famous for producing luxury cars, motorcycles and high-performance engines.

BMW is a world-famous automobile company. Like Mercedes-Benz, it does not pursue the expansion of automobile production, but only pursues the production of high-quality, high-performance and high-grade cars. The phrase "riding a Mercedes-Benz and driving a BMW" shows the calmness of Mercedes-Benz and the boldness of BMW. Only when you drive a BMW can you enjoy its wonderful style.

Development history:

Its cars are famous for their high quality and high performance, and it ranks as a famous brand alongside Mercedes-Benz. BMW Motor Company was founded in 19 16, with its headquarters in Munich, Germany, and more than 50,000 employees. In the history of more than 90 years, World War II experienced the second conversion from military to civilian, and it was very difficult to operate in the 1950s. 1959,1959 At the shareholders' meeting on February 9, the company was even sold to Mercedes-Benz, and the price was quoted. At this time, the Quant family in Germany turned the tide, acquired 46% of the shares of BMW and became the largest shareholder, and adhered to the road of self-development, and began to launch new models one after another in the early 1960s. Since then, BMW has not lost money for more than 30 years, and has successively acquired Land Rover and Rolls-Royce, becoming a rising multinational company. However, in the past two years, BMW's growth has been weak. In March 2000, its Land Rover was split and sold.

Features:

The body shape of BMW is distinctive, and the round lights are matched with rectangular water tank ventilation grille, forming a unique style. The management of BMW has its own unique side. The brand strategy it pursues is "boutique strategy" and pursues the highest quality, so it does not tend to the trend-it is attached to global procurement in order to reduce costs. Also adhere to their own design direction, all BMW cars are rear-wheel drive. They think that rear-wheel drive can distribute 50% of the load before and after, and it will be better than front-wheel drive in high-speed cornering and straight-ahead performance. Because of its excellent acceleration performance and driving performance, there is a saying in the car world that "drive a BMW and take a Mercedes-Benz", which mainly attracts young and middle-aged buyers. Of course, BMW has also made efforts to solve the problem of "sitting". As early as 1986, the "electronic damping control system" was developed, which can automatically adjust the suspension hardness in response to road conditions instantly, making passengers more comfortable. BMW has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 series models. Among them, Series 5 is the best-selling variety.

Sub brand

BMW I Series is a brand-new brand of BMW.

Following Rolls-Royce and MINI, BMW has launched a brand-new BMW I series, which represents new energy vehicles and a new generation of travel solutions, and is committed to the fields of hybrid, extended-range electric vehicles and plug-in electric vehicles, which is also a further extension of the BMW I plan in 2007. For BMW i, a brand-new sub-brand of BMW, domestic fans may still be unfamiliar, so as shown in the above picture, BMW i has a blue halo outside the BMW blue sky and white clouds logo.

The important features of BMW products are still maintained in BMW I series models, for example, they will all adopt rear-wheel drive, which has the most important driving pleasure. Both i3 and i8 are based on the "LifeDrive structure", with pure aluminum chassis and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) passenger compartment, and will be produced in Leipzig factory, in which i3 is the MegaCITY pure electric super-large city car that has been exposed many times before, and i8 will be the vision just released.

Production version of EfficientDynamics concept car. Media friends from Europe have taken photos of i3 and i8 camouflage cars in the road test. Let's share it with you.

In terms of power, i3 will be equipped with an electric system similar to 1 series ActiveE, consisting of 170 horsepower motor and lithium-ion battery pack, with a cruising range of 160km. In addition, other versions of i3 are also under development (including extended-range electric vehicles). The i8 will adopt a hybrid system, which is likely to be a power system composed of the upcoming 1.5-liter 3-cylinder gasoline engine and the motor of i3. In addition, the blue grille frame, aerodynamic side skirts, streamlined C-pillars and large narrow wheels of these new cars are obviously different from other BMW models.

In addition to plug-in hybrid technology and pure electric technology, BMW I brand will also emphasize a series of personalized services, many of which are exclusive to this sub-brand. To this end, BMW will also establish an asset investment company in North America, focusing on creating intelligent communication applications, such as providing users with real-time road traffic, parking lots and local entertainment information.
