Iintsuku zokuthandabuza ezenziwe malunga noyilo olukhethwe yi-BMW kwi-injini ye-BMW M3 elandelayo… Kodwa ngaba ngokwenene?
Umongameli we-American BMW wayesele eqinisekisile ukukrokra kwethu: I-M3 entsha iya kuba ne-inline block ye-silinda ezintandathu. Noko ke, yenze okuncinane ngakumbi. Kodwa ukonwaba kwethu, uphawu lwaseBavaria luye lwakhupha imifanekiso emibini ephelisa amathandabuzo amaninzi ajikeleze intliziyo enamandla ye-M3 ezayo.
Amathandabuzo kuba kwakuphantse kuqiniseke ukuba i-BMW ayikwazanga ukuxhobisa kwakhona i-M3 nge-V8 yangaphambili. Ngenxa yezithintelo zokusingqongileyo, phakathi kwezinye izizathu, ezifana nokubekwa kwe-M3 ngokuchasene noluhlu lwe-M5, oluthe kwisizukulwana esitsha salahlekelwa iisilinda ezimbini.
Ke, uphawu lwaseJamani kwafuneka luyilahle injini ye-V8 exhobise isizukulwana sangaphambili se-BMW M3 ngokuthanda umgca wesithandathu osebenzayo ngakumbi, kodwa hayi ukusebenza kakuhle koko, ngenxa yokwamkelwa kwee-turbos ezimbini.
Kuba kumaqonga eengxoxo ezikhethekileyo, phakathi kwawo iRazão Automóvel, kudala ibheja ukuba iBMW izakuqala kule M3 iteknoloji yeTurbo Hybrid – Ukuba akubazi ubuchwephesha, cofa apha. Ke ngoko, ingqikelelo ye-turbo yesithathu ayimelanga ilahlwe, ukuba ukuthatha ithuba lokuthatha enye ye-turbos kuya kwenza umsebenzi wayo. Okanye kuya kubakho ezimbini kuphela, kwaye enye yazo iya kuba yi-Turbo Hybrid.
Ngoko ke, i-BMW M3 isuka kwi-4.0 ilitha ye-V8 ukuya kwi-in-line 6 cylinder enomthamo okulindeleke ukuba ube malunga ne-3.0 ilitha. Kodwa ukuba ucinga ukuba oku kubi, akunjalo. Isixhobo esitsha seBMW kulindeleke ukuba sinikeze amandla aphezulu asondele kwi-450 hp kwaye sandise kakhulu amaxabiso aphezulu etorque. Ke, ukuba yeyona M3 yemisipha engapheliyo kwaye kwangaxeshanye ibuyela kwimvelaphi yemodeli kunye nophawu. Khumbula ukuba i-inline ezintandathu yeyona nto ithandwayo ye-injini ye-BMW.
