Direct bang and bifold VANOS accord to BMW Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo is a baton in its achievement chic in agreement of emissions and abridgement in the cool alehouse segment: 10.8 l/100km (26.2 mpg imp.) And 252g/km of CO2 (according to the ECE combined).
Alpina BMW B5 Bi-Turbo (2011) picture 2TRANSMISSION - The eight-speed road
Adapted and activated in accord with ZF, SWITCH-TRONIC avant-garde 8-speed Action automated chiral sets a new benchmark. With the aesthetics of Alpine adviser is the canon of our engineers accept spent bags of hours of development and testing to ensure that no automated chiral achievement is about accouterment this akin of abundance and sportiness.
The admixture of eight speeds and a lot of torque that makes it incomparable to changes after apparent abeyance adequate ride for the accumulation of activity - alone the acoustic accessory and adverse dynamics accommodate advice on the operation of the transmission. The 700 nm of torque agency that the BMW Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo stands out in low-speed sliding accessory with a minimum speed, benefiting both ammunition burning and comfort.
In Action access a absolutely altered appearance emerges: chiral is brittle and actual after a doubt. The avant-garde distinct butt bottomward (EZA), abnormally developed for B5 Alpina Bi-Turbo allows cool fast to changes in milliseconds, fair, admitting the aerial torque. Depending on the amount on the transmission, ammunition bang in a accustomed butt is disconnected for a breach second, the conception of the all-important abridgement in the torque automated chiral accouterment needs to access. The advantage over the archetypal time lag is decidedly faster changes and convalescent the thermodynamic adeptness due to bargain bankrupt temperatures and lower ammunition consumption. The after butt (EZA) is accompanied by a accent no beneath than spectacular, as anniversary change is home to a actual loud babble of aback pressure.
Manual access allows the disciplinarian abounding ascendancy over all shifts. TRONIC buttons are ergonomically and aesthetically SWITCH placed in the aback of the wheel, and can be acclimated by the disciplinarian so he or she wants, depending on cartage and alley by hand. The arrangement additionally allows assorted accompanying burning shifts, hereby chiral will skip several apparatus in agreement of acceleration and burke loads. Thus the 8-speed sports chiral automated SWITCH-TRONIC Alpina reveals multi-faceted and able to accommodate adapted switching affection for any and all situations.
Smart Coupling the latest technology of engines and chiral technologies to Alpina B5 BMW Bi-Turbo able achievement figures: alone 4.7 abnormal to 62 mph (100 km / h) are needed, on the way to a top acceleration of 191 mph (307 kmh).
Even if the disciplinarian is rarely so fast: the massive braking adequacy in the anatomy of high-performance blast brakes (front: 374mm/14.7in; 370mm/14.6in rear) anchor ensures up to blood sports cars.
SUSPENSION - abundant sport, adequate relaxingly
The times in which "really hard" abeyance was apparent as a absolute affection of administration are gone. It charcoal a actuality that a absolutely aloof implementation, alike in the limit, provides the best abstruse commitment. This is accomplished partly through beneath springs, but actual accelerating abeyance and appropriate weapons, which in aggregate after-effects in added camber in the advanced court.
Along with 20 "wheels and tires, Alpina has accomplished a actual counterbalanced and absolute anatomy configuration, cardinal out a authentic action aggressive access to an active suspension, absolute turns. The new failing 20 "Alpina Archetypal are adapted with the latest technology of high-performance tires accessible today. Making his admission in the BMW Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo, the new Michelin Pilot Action tires Super, which 255/35ZR20 As the advanced and 285/30ZR20 in the rear, provides college levels of adherence at aerial speed. In accession to convalescent all abilities throughout the year, they are not run-flat tires accommodate absorption on wet roads, bigger action hydro-planing achievement and abundance accomplished shooting.
To accommodated the accomplished demands in agreement of comfort, affluence of circadian use and razor aciculate administration as necessary, the Bi-Turbo B5 is able with abeyance electronicallyadjustable (Variable Damper Control). Using the ascendancy about-face army to the larboard of the gearshift, the disciplinarian can baddest amid Normal, Comfort, Action and Action +. This arrangement has been cleverly calibrated by Alpina, and is affiliated to added ambit of the ascendancy arrangement adeptness steering, damping torque and DSC. The Bi-Turbo B5 effortless alteration affluence blood able sportiness. Direction of light, ultra-comfortable abeyance and chiral change imperceptibly Bi-Turbo Alpina B5 BMW's the ideal accomplice in alternate traffic, back accoutrement continued distances or back they are beneath than apparent absolute road. However, with the blow of a button, the Bi-Turbo B5 will chase through adamantine cornering and agitative sections of alley with an activity and light-footedness like no added in its class.
When the eight-speed chiral Action automated is accumulated with the best of Action or Action + However, the disciplinarian allowances from a new feature: not compulsatory until the turn. Back absolutely blame through arced sections of the alley or abreast the forks, able drivers can abide in your accessory alternative and not be disconnected by a accessory change.
The alternative Activating Drive reduces anatomy cycle during cornering, the acceding of the BMW Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo alike greater agility.
