Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, uGuilherme Costa wabhala ingxelo enesihloko esifanayo malunga neCitroën C6. Njengoko isihloko sikhankanyiwe, sijongana noyilo olulolunye kunye nolungekho mvumelwano lwe-C6, kunye nendlela imvakalelo yokuqala yokungaqhelekanga eyanikezela ngayo, ukutyhubela iminyaka, kuxabiso olulunge ngakumbi kwicala layo. Ndithatha umxholo ukuthetha ngayo BMW 5 Series E60 (2003-2010), kodwa hayi kuphela.
Ngaphezu kwako konke, ndifuna ukuphonononga ukuhambelana okunokwenzeka phakathi kwexesha lesiphithiphithi kunye nokugxekwa kakhulu kuyilo lweBMW ngelo xesha (kwaye ngokuyinxenye namhlanje) naleyo yanamhlanje, ephikiswana ngokulinganayo, nakwabona balandeli banyanisekileyo bophawu. ezinkulu) kabini kwizintso.
Ukuba sibuyela kwi-2003, xa i-BMW 5 Series E60 yatyhilwa kwihlabathi, idizayini ye-brand yaseBavaria yayisele isemilonyeni yomntu wonke kwaye ingahlali ngenxa yezizathu ezilungileyo.
UChris Bangle, owayesakuba ngumlawuli woyilo weQela lakwaBMW, waye waphehlelela uguqulo olukhulu kuyilo lweemodeli zohlobo kwiminyaka eyadlulayo, ekhuthazwa, ngokuyinxenye, kwaye ngokumangalisayo, ngokugxekwa ukuba iiBMWs zonke zazifana kwaye ziyadika ukuzijonga, nje. Ukutshintsha ubungakanani phakathi kwabo-asokuze saneliseke yiyo nantoni na, ngokucacileyo...
Bhalisa kwincwadana yethu
Ukutshatyalaliswa kwafika kwi-2001, kunye nokutyhilwa kwe-E65 7-Series kunye ne-Bangle butt edumileyo ("i-Bangle's Tail") - enyanisweni, i-E65 derrière ngu-Adrian van Hooydonk, umlawuli woyilo lwangoku we-BMW Group. Kwakuyikhefu eligqibeleleyo kunye nexesha elidlulileyo, ukuguqula umxube wobuhle / amandla kunye ne-clacissism esemthethweni ye-predecessor (E38) yolwimi olutsha olusesikweni, olucacileyo ngakumbi, nangona lungenalo ubabalo.
Yathiywa ngokukhawuleza ngamajelo eendaba njengelangatye elibheke phezulu okanye indawo evuthayo ngenxa yokucacisa kwayo, eyakufumana ukutolikwa kwayo okusulungekileyo kwi-Z4 yokuqala, eyakhutshwa kunyaka kamva - ezi yayiziimbonakalo ezimbini ezigqithileyo zolwimi olutsha olugqitywe yi-Bangle.
Ilizwe (imoto) kunye nabalandeli be-BMW babekwisiphithiphithi… ngokuqinisekileyo oku “kuphambana” akuzange kuqhubeke kwaye bekukho amazwi amaninzi esithi makarhoxe uChris Bangle. Isenzo sesithathu, uchungechunge lwe-5 E60, aluzange luphelise uqhanqalazo.
I-BMW 5 Series E60 (enombulelo) ikhutshwe kunye ne-Bangle butt kwaye yayilungelelaniswe ngcono, yayinemigangatho engaphezulu, imigca ekhangelekayo eguqukayo kwaye intle ngakumbi kune-7 Series E65. Kodwa ukusikwa kwe-E39, eyandulelayo, yayingenakuba nkulu - kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuba xa i-E39 yasungulwa ngo-1995, yayithathwa ngabaninzi njengenye yezoyilo ze-BMW "ezingenatyuwa", kodwa namhlanje ngokubanzi. ixatyiswe ngengqiqo kunye nobuhle bayo.
Ngokuchaseneyo noluvo lukaGuilherme malunga ne-Citroën C6, eyatshintsha ngokuhamba kwexesha, eyam ayizange itshintshe malunga ne-E60 Series 5… Ndisayithatha njengeyona mizekelo ibalaseleyo yexesha le-Bangle, kunye ne-Z4. Ndicinga ukuba iBMW ibifanele ukuba inyanzelise isizukulwana sesibini semodeli ngolu lwimi, ukuba siyisulungekise (ingakumbi ukuyitofa ngethamo lobukhazikhazi, nto leyo eyayisilela ngayo) kunokuba bayilahle — khawubone nje umntu oza kungena ezihlangwini zakhe. ye-Series 5 E60, ehlakaniphile kwaye "engenabungozi" F10.
Uthotho 5 E60 ubudala kakuhle, njengewayini elungileyo. Kufana nokuba ikhutshiwe, kanye njenge-C6 (ixesha langoku le-E60), ngaphambi kwexesha layo elifanelekileyo, kunye nesiqingatha sehlabathi esidinga phantse ishumi elinesiqingatha leminyaka yokuvezwa kwimodeli ukufumana uxabiso olufanelekileyo. Le mihla kubonakala ngathi kukho izimvo ezintle kwaye ezixabisayo malunga ne-E60 kunenye indlela.
Namhlanje uyilo lweBMW lusengumxholo oshushu…
Ukususela Series 1 F40 ukuba restyling Series 7 G11/G12, ngokusebenzisa X7 (G05) kwaye, kutshanje, Series entsha 4 (G22, G23, G26) kunye iX (I20), izimvo ziye shushu ngaphezu ngaphantsi . Oyena unoxanduva “lobudenge obudumileyo”? Izintso eziphindwe kabini, eyona nto iphambili yesazisi se-BMW, ibonakala ikhula ukusuka kwimodeli ukuya kwimodeli, ilawula kakhulu ubuso babo.
Ngapha koko, siye sabona ukuhlanjululwa kwezinto ezithile ezibonakalayo esizinxulumanisa ngokwesiko nesazisi sophawu, apho ndiqaqambisa iHoffmeister Knick (ukusuka kwintsusa yesiJamani) - ukunqunyulwa okanye ukunqunyulwa kwekona yendawo ekhazimlisiweyo kwintsika yeC okanye D - apho kubonakala ngathi kukho imikhondo eseleyo kwiimodeli zamva nje.
Njengoko kwakunjalo kumashumi amabini eminyaka eyadlulayo, isebe loyilo le-BMW, ngoku elikhokelwa ngu-Adrian van Hooydonk (iQela le-BMW) kunye ne-Domagoj Dukec (i-brand ye-BMW), lifuna ukutyhalela kuyilo lophawu kwixesha elizayo. Njengoko kwenzekile kumashumi amabini eminyaka eyadlulayo, uguquko belujoliswe kuko ekuxhathiseni okukhulu kunye neempikiswano, kunye nezimvo ezingakhiyo ubukhulu becala ukodlula ezakhayo.
Ngaba siya kukwazi ukujonga ngasemva kwaye sixabise uyilo lwe-4 Series Coupé okanye iX kwisithuba seminyaka engamashumi amabini, njenge-5 Series E60? Okanye ngaba kukho iyantlukwano esisiseko kunye nengqikelelo eyahlula into eyenziwa nguChris Bangle kumashumi amabini eminyaka eyadlulayo kunye nento eyenziwa nguAdrian van Hooydonk ngoku?
