BMW 3 SERIES (2001- TO 2005)宝马三号系列(2001至2005)

So far ahead of the chasing back was BMW?s E46 3 Series when it was first introduced in 1998 that it seemed as if it would enjoy an extended period of dominance.到目前为止提前回被追逐的宝马?收盘e46三号系列当初推行1998好像可以享有较长主导权. BMW?s rivals, however, had other ideas.宝马?收盘对手,不过,也有其他的想法. The facelifted version of the 3 Series saloon and Touring models aimed to keep the model fresh and sales were indeed revitalised but a fresh crop of tough rivals meant that the 3 Series?facelifted版的300系列型号球馆巡回为了保持新鲜和销售模式确实焕然一新食作物的强硬对手,而是意味着300系列? slice of the compact executive pie was being steadily eroded.镭射片的大饼正在逐渐解体执行. This increased competition kept BMW prices manageable and these savings have, in turn, been realised by used buyers of the post 2001 BMW 3 Series.宝马竞争不断增加、价格管理这些储蓄,进而被用来购买变现后的2001年3月宝马系列. The 3 Series has garnered a reputation as one of the most bulletproof used buys around so although prices are reasonable, don?t expect any ridiculous bargains.300系列引起了被誉为最用来购买防弹周围虽然价格合理,鲍思?滑稽笔预期任何讨价还价. You get what you pay for, even in these competitive times.一分钱,甚至在这些竞争时代.

HISTORY历史
This generation 3 Series is very much a car defined by the talents of its rivals.这一代三号系列轿车的定义,是一项非常优秀的对手. First introduced in 1998, it enjoyed some time in the limelight as undisputed market leader until the all-new Mercedes C-Class arrived in 2000.首先介绍1998年这一段时间享受风光作为无可争议的市场领袖,直到所有新的奔驰的C级到达2000. This was rapidly followed by Audi?s new A4 and Jaguar?s X-TYPE.这是接踵而来的奥迪?收盘新的A4、美洲虎?收盘X型. BMW?s response was to introduce a raft of new engines, the 170bhp 2.2-litre 320i and the 192bhp 325i followed by a summer 2001 revision to the styling, steering and suspension set ups of the saloon and touring models.宝马?收盘反应引入一系列新引擎170bhp的2.2公升192bhp320i和325i之后夏天到2001年订正造型、曲折的集策划、悬浮球馆巡回型号. The 318i got a 2.0-litre 143bhp engine whilst the 320d also benefited from a power boost due to new common rail technology.318i获得了2.0公升143bhp320d发动机虽然还得益于共轨电刺激由于新技术. The coupe and convertible models carried on as before.采伐和经营模式的转换如故. At the same time, the 1.9-litre 316 was quietly dropped from the range.在此同时,1.9公升的范围从316于是不了了之. Spring 2002 saw the reintroduction of the 316i, this time round with a worthwhile 115bhp Valvetronic engine.2002年的春天重新316i,这次同一个有意义115bhpvalvetronic发动机. A wider selection of value added ES and Sport versions were added in early 2003 and a stonking 204bhp version of the 3.0-litre diesel was announced, earmarked for the first time to go under the bonnet of the Coupe.更多选择附加值权证和体育版和2003年初分别增加了3.0版的204bhpstonking公升柴油揭晓首次预留下头盖去的采伐. A 320cd coupe preceded this version, powered by a 150bhp oil burner, it represented BMW?s first foray into the diesel coupe sector.这个版本的320cd采伐之前,由马力150bhp燃烧石油、宝马重现?收盘首次介入柴油采伐业. ES value models designed to appeal to private buyers appeared during 2002.展览旨在呼吁私人价值模型买主出现在2002年. The M3 carried on much as before, with the Convertible added in March 2001 but late 2003 saw the introduction of the frighteningly expensive and very specialist M3 CSL lightweight.M3内进行多前,随着2001年3月加入兑换但看到2003年底推出的恐吓十分昂贵俊轻量级专科立方米. Early 2004 saw the arrival of an entry-level diesel, the 318d, and later that same year the 320d was added to the Coupe and Convertible ranges.2004年初到来看到一个入门级柴油的318d,同一年,后来加上去的采伐和320d兑换不等. An all new 3-Series saloon appeared in Spring 2005 superseding this model.全新三系列球馆出现在2005年春代替这种模式.

WHAT YOU GET  什么才叫
Owners of the original 1998-vintage car will notice that the curvy headlamps are now slightly curvier still.原来拥有98古董车会发觉现在稍微弯曲大灯curvier仍. They may also appreciate the revised front grille and deeper front and rear valances, plus the restyled rear light clusters and the way that this current car?s side repeaters are tucked into the swage line just behind the front wheel.他们也明白战线门锁、更深修改前后效价、加上后排restyled集群和轻型车的方式,他此次?收盘重读方入洗线真相是仅次于前轮. BMW reckon this adds up to a more muscular look.宝马估计这样加起来更肌肉看看. You may disagree.你可能不同意.

What isn?t up for debate is that the current 3 Series benefits from the sweeter suspension settings and steering rack that you?ll find in the Compact version, a model much praised for its pin-sharp handling.肖国什么?笔最多的是,这次辩论三号系列得益于甜场景和悬浮导向架你?在当地找紧凑版本示范诵其品锐利处理. And sure enough, after a hard drive in this improved 3 Series Saloon, you may wonder how it manages to be so much better than the apparently peerless version that sired it.果然,经过这一改进三号系列硬盘球馆、你可能不知道它能够如此显然比无双版本生养. The answer comes from the surprising direction of the US.答案是来自美国的方向惊讶. Apparently US customers called for lighter steering and softer steering on the 3-Series, and apart from spy planes and Cuban cigars, what the US wants it invariably gets.显然,美国客户要求柔软、打火机督导督导月3系列除了间谍飞机和古巴雪茄,美国要它总是起劲. Until now.直到现在.

Rebellious engineers at BMW decided that they weren?t going to be told what to do by portly Americans.反叛的工程师,他们决定在宝马统计学?笔会告诉美国人怎么做的墩墩. On the contrary, it was decreed that from the latest-shape Compact forward, BMWs were going to have proper sporting suspension setups and nigh-on telepathic steering systems.相反的,它是从明令最新型紧凑向前,宝马将要设置适当的运动受匪夷所思-灵犀督导制度. Burkhard Goschel, BMW?s Head of Research and Development is the man to thank when you realise quite how comprehensively your shiny new 3 Series thrashes the opposition.goschel的Burkhard,宝马?头研发男子谢当你知道你很明亮的新三号系列如何全面依归反对派. The suspension is some 20% stiffer than before, and the steering rack has been quickened with the amount of power assistance has tapered off, giving a greater level of feel and heft at the helm.受已达到20%,比以前严厉,货架、督导与金额也不断加快电力援助已收窄,给予更大程度的感觉和分量在掌舵. Sounds good?好听吗? Just wait until you drive it.等到你刚刚驾驶.

WHAT YOU PAY  您付出
Examples of the post facelift 143bhp 318i saloon open at £11,600 on an ?01 51 plate or £12,400 if you want an automatic gearbox.改版后的例子143bhp318i球馆开放了11600英镑?1951年1月12,400英镑,如果你想钢板或自动变速箱.

Possibly the most desirable engine in the whole range is the 330d and this opens in saloon guise at £17,000 or £18,200 for a well equipped SE Touring.可能是最理想的发动机全部是330d,在此开幕球馆假借为18200英镑17000英镑或巡回硒精良.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR  寻找什么
The latest-shape 3 series is still too new for any major problems to show up so check the usual ?最新型三号系列仍旧对任何新的重大问题,以便核对常住赏光? clocked odometers, body nicks and scrapes, damaged trim, cellphone mounting holes in the dashboard and a cast-iron full BMW dealer service history.59里程,身体末端、擦伤、损坏修剪、手机及仪表安装孔铸铁宝马经销商全面服务的历史.

It?s worth being fussy (avoid dull non-metallic colours, low ex-rep specifications and gloomy interior trim colours) so that, when resale time comes, you?ll get a lot more for your part exchange than you might expect.?收盘值得模糊(避免沉闷非金属颜色低退伍证规格和颜色暗淡内政部修剪),使在转售的时候,你?当地部分你可以获得更多的交流可能比你期望. Inspect M3s for crash damage, non-standard parts and evidence that they?ve been thrashed as track day specials.对检查m3s坠毁损坏,非标准零部件和证据,他们?由于轨道天专辑味终审权. With the convertible models you?ll need to ensure the hood is free from rips or discolouration and that the electric folding mechanism and seals are in tip top shape.同型号兑换你?当地需要确保方巾免受核糖或变黄,电动折叠机制及印章都是顶尖形状.

Be suspicious of cars that have had many owners in a short time (this could be a sign of ongoing problems).可疑轿车,已被不少业主在短时间内(这可能是一个迹象,目前的问题). If you really want piece of mind, buy from a BMW dealer ?如果你真想一块头脑,从宝马经销商购买? but be prepared to pay the premium.但愿意支付保险费.

ON THE ROAD  在路上
Settle behind the wheel and it will feel good to be at the helm of a Three series.定居背后车轮感觉很好,它将会是在主持了3个系列. The solid, quality feel of the controls and the silky-smooth performance are just right.固体、质量控制和感受的丝毛光滑表现恰恰好. One of the advantages of buying a well cared for example is that the engine should be nicely run-in, so you can enjoy all of the performance right from the start.好处之一是买围棋来说应该是个很好的发动机磨合,所以你可以享受的一切,从一开始表现.

Now available on the 325i and 330i is an SSG (sports sequential gearbox), a clutchless five-speed ?box based on the M3 model?s SMG unit which offers a choice between automated manual modes and the full-on sequential operation.现已在325i和330i是网关(体育顺序变速箱)一clutchless五速?基于供应M3模型箱?深圳市政府提供的一组手工方式和自动选择全序列运行. Engines have also come in for some attention in recent times.引擎也颇为重视,近一段时期. The popular 318i for example, these days gets a 143bhp 2.0-litre unit far superior to the original-fit 118bhp 1.9-litre powerplant.热门318i为例,这些天都有143bhp2.0公升股远远优于原拟118bhp1.9公升动力. This British-built engine features BMW?s revolutionary Valvetronic system, which does away with a conventional throttle in the name of improved economy.这英建成宝马发动机特点?革命valvetronic系统它摒弃了传统油门的名义改善经济. As much as 45mpg in fact, which owners of the original 318i will notice is about 10mpg better.高达45mpg事实上,原车主将公告318i约10mpg更好.

This improvement has made room for the entry-level 316i model to substantially better fulfil its claim to be part of the ?ultimate?这项改进的余地了入门级316i示范大幅自称为更好地履行其部分的?终极? family of driving machines.家庭驾驶机器. These days, a 1.8-litre engine is fitted under the bonnet (don?t let the ?316? moniker fool you) putting out far lower emissions.这些天,180公升引擎是装在头盖(鲍思?笔让?316?绰号笨蛋你)熄灭远远低排放. Canny buyers will enjoy the added value embodied in the ES and Sport versions.Canny边缘买家将享有附加值体现在权证和体育版. As for power output, well 115bhp will probably be enough for most.至于输出功率,并可能对大部份115bhp. Granted, you?ll still not mistake the 316i for an M3 when the driver drops the hammer but it?s good enough for a sprint to 60mph in 10.9 seconds, whilst the top speed climbs to 128mph.准予你?当地还没有一个错误的316i立方米当司机滴斧头但?收盘受用了冲刺,在9月10日至60mph秒虽然最高时速爬升至128mph. This is another of those Valvetronic engines and, as with all such units, the power delivery at first feels slightly hollow, the admirable flatness of the torque curve perhaps making the engine feel a little less punchy than the figures suggest.这是另那些valvetronic引擎,以及与所有这些单位电力递起初感到稍微空洞,钦佩平坦的扭矩曲线或许令发动机感觉比少贴,图文并茂.

Next up is the 320d diesel, a car which has also seen some useful improvements in recent times, with a common-rail system being grafted onto the existing mechanicals, replacing the original direct injection set up.明年起320d是柴油车也出现了一些有益的改进近代、以共轨接枝现有机电系统,取代了原有的直喷式成立. The net result of this is a benefit of 14bhp, the 320d now turning out a solid 150bhp and 243lb/ft of torque.最终结果是造福14bhp,现在转向了坚实的150bhp320d243lb/ft和扭矩. This means that 49.6mpg has now turned into 51.4mpg.这意味着49.6mpg变成51.4mpg. That?s the same consumption as a 130bhp Audi A4 diesel.为何?收盘同一消费作为130bhp奥迪A4号柴油. It?s almost enough to make you question the need for stumping up the extra for the awesome 204bhp six cylinder 330d.?收盘几乎足以使你的问题需要额外的撼人茬6缸204bhp330d. Almost, but not quite.差不多,但不太. This variant remains probably the most impressive car in the mainstream 3-series range这恐怕也是最令人印象深刻的汽车仍是变种的主流3-程系列

Elsewhere, there?s still the same 170bhp 2.2-litre (320i), the 192bhp 2.5-litre (325i) and the range-topping 231bhp 3.0-litre engine (330i) we?re all pretty familiar with by now, the latter powerplant being a unit which makes few hanker for an M3 four-door.别处有吗?收盘仍相同170bhp2.2公升(320i)192bhp的2.5公升(325i),距离超过231bhp3.0升发动机(330i)?再漂亮都熟悉了,后者作为动力股数贪图一立方米使得四门.

OVERALL  总体
Although it?s now faced with a more accomplished set of rivals than ever, the main impediment to 3 Series sales is over familiarity.虽然?收盘如今面临着比以往更多的竞争对手完成一套,3系列销售的主要障碍,是较熟悉. Its excellence means that there are now so many of them on the UK?s roads that some may seem the 3 Series as lacking exclusivity.其卓越意味着目前许多人对英国的?收盘道路,一些看似缺乏300系列独家. Having outsold the Ford Mondeo for some periods in 2003 it would be hard to contest that point.有一段时期百事可乐福特蒙迪欧很难在2003点到比赛. With a great deal of supply from new, picking up a decent used post-2001 3 Series in exactly the trim, colour and condition you require shouldn?t be difficult.有大量供应新、拾象样使用后,在2001年5月3系列正是浪,你需要的颜色和状态都不应该吗?笔难. There?s not a weak link in the entire range and reliability has proven very good.?收盘没有一个薄弱环节,在整个射程和可靠性已证明非常好. It really is hard to go wrong here.实在很难出错.
