A small excursion into the history of the BMW brand
The beginning was laid in the early 20s of the last century. 1913 is considered the year of foundation, and in 1917 the activities of the company were recorded - aircraft engines. Yes, yes, BMW initially had a slightly different profile than today. Wartime has left its mark. But after the end of hostilities, production aircraft engines was forbidden.
In order to somehow survive, the company's management decided to release motorcycles. Since 1923, BMW has been manufacturing light motorcycles. There was a time when motorcycles were also banned, and factories were interrupted by orders for bicycles and tools. However, the hard times are over. Since 1948, BMW has continued to produce motor vehicles, and since 1951, the first post-war car, the BMW 501, has been produced.
Since the end of the 50s, the BMW company, the country of origin of which is Germany, has entered the production of sports cars. By actively participating in races, BMW products take prizes, thereby increasing its popularity. In 1975, the development of the third BMW family, E21, began.
How to understand BMW models
For almost 100 years of development of the company, a huge number of cars have been developed and produced. BMW has 9 so-called families only. Among them are the most popular and numerous:
- 3rd series;
- 5th series;
- 7th series;
- X-series.
In each family, cars are subdivided into bodies. For example, in the 3 series, the E21 was the first model in 1975. And only in 1982 it was replaced by the E30 body. To make it even clearer, consider the E21 with the 320i designation. Here 3 is the family or series number; 20 is the displacement of a 2.0 liter engine and the letter "i" stands for a fuel injection engine. 320 has only carburetor engine, most often from Solex.
The stylistic features of the models can most often be distinguished only by professionals, therefore it is recommended to look at the documents for a complete identification of the BMW car. Vin auto provides all the necessary information on the model, engine, and also opens access to the component parts in the original catalogs. Which BMW, which country of manufacture - these and other questions can be answered in the documents and under the hood of the car.
Separate representatives are machines of the Z and M series. These families have their own special numbering and identification, due to their special industries. The Technik division develops prototypes, and the M is the M for the Motorsport division. There is also an American company BMW and two luxury coupe models L7 and L6 produced by it. Outwardly, they can be confused with the 7th suite in the 23rd body. However, these are 6-series models, with a lot of additional options, released specifically for the US domestic market.

As a result, cars from BMW are becoming more and more popular as they meet all the needs of users.
Cars from the Bavarian company BMW have always indicated the success of their owner. Whoever says anything, German models are practical, durable and fast. Crossovers are especially popular. For example, the BMW X5 is characterized as calm and economical. sport car... At the same time, it is very powerful, which becomes clear both when driving on the highway and in city traffic of models.
All car owners, without exception, note that the five shows themselves to be calm and economical in the city. At the same time, it is fast and even aggressive on the track. And in any case, it is very easy and pleasant to operate it.
Most likely, this is the merit of not only the designers and engineers who thought through everything to the smallest detail, but also the craftsmen who made the car. In this article, we will look at where the BMW X5 is assembled for Russian buyers, and how the car of our production differs from the purebred German.
The oldest factories that assemble the BMW X5 are in America, Germany and England. Of these, in Russia you can find American-assembled cars.
Several years ago, BMW X5 for the Russian market began to be assembled at a local plant. In the summer of 2009 it became known that the car would be made at the Avtotor production facility. In the first year, about 1000 models rolled off the assembly line. Further, until the last 2015, their number only increased.
By the way, this is not the only car of the German concern that is assembled at a Russian plant. At the same time, they began to make the BMW X6, and even earlier the sedans of the third and fifth series and the X3 crossover rolled off the assembly line. It is interesting that the first car of the Bavarian company was assembled and produced here at the end of the last century, in 1999. The number of models in our assembly was 555. Already in 2007 this figure increased to 4.5 thousand. In 2015, it almost doubled.
Let's see how Russian craftsmen do their job and whether it is worth buying a BMW X5 of our assembly.
Review of BMW X5 assembled in Russia
The first BMW X5, which rolled off the Russian assembly line, cost 68 thousand euros. He had two power units under the hood, which gave out a total power of 309 horsepower. One of them was a two-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, and the other was an electrician. Hooked up the motors to an eight-speed automatic transmission... By the way, the car has not changed since that time, either externally or in terms of technology. But its cost has grown by a quarter.
In fact, the Russian assembly is not much different from the German one. And the point is not that our craftsmen suddenly began to make reliable cars, but that local production is SKD. That is, ready-made parts are sent to Russia, but we only weld them, and give the car the necessary appearance. Therefore, as it turned out, where the BMW X5 is assembled is not so important. After all, German quality remains so in any case.
A little about the merits of the crossover. The car consumes only 3.4 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers of travel. An electric motor can stretch up to 31 kilometers on a single charge.
Its design is thought out to the smallest detail. Clean lines, muscular bodywork and sloping struts are what distinguishes the car. It is stylish and special in its own way. Vertical air intakes appeared in the side bumper. They improve aerodynamics. In the salon of the Russian modification, new sports very comfortable seats have appeared. Also, along the entire perimeter there is LED lights... It goes to the front panel from the side of the doors. Interestingly, its color changes depending on the driver's wishes in the white blue and orange range.
The multimedia system is amazing. It is powerful enough and the sound output is very loud thanks to the excellent speakers. The diagonal of the screen is 10.25 inches. There are so many functions here that you can get confused. You can control the car using this display, and nothing more. In general, it will take about a month to study the functionality of the screen alone.
Safety is also at the highest level here. Both the driver and the passenger can feel protected. The seat cushions are adjustable in any position, they are heated and they can be pulled out depending on your desire.
Now a little about the disadvantages. The driving settings for the BMW X5 are pretty average. But, this is not the fault of our engineers. The car starts to drive with slight delays. Although the car is marketed as sporty, it is quieter than you might expect. In crossovers assembled in Russia, some note wide gaps between parts. Sound insulation does not suffer from this, as well as aesthetic characteristics. But, they note that dust and dirt are often clogged in the gap. And also, dampness from natural precipitation accumulates here.
But, nevertheless, the mentioned shortcomings are not so serious as not to pay attention to the BMW X5. Ultimately, where the crossover is assembled is not all that important. Therefore, do not be afraid of our assembly, and feel free to buy a model.
