If you are new to buying a BMW, here's a simple breakdown of things you need to know to make

the research and buying process a little easier.

BMW has a knack for naming things.

Everything.

Especially when it comes to categorization within the brand.

Here are a couple of names you need to know.

BMW M GmbH.

These are their ultimate performance vehicles inspired by motorsport.

This includes the M2, M3, M4, and so on.

Then, there's BMW M Performance.

These can almost be described as half M cars.

They're a lot more everyday than M cars but a lot sportier than their regular counterparts.

For example, the M240i is an M Performance 2-series—notice the M before the badge?

It's a lot more performance-focused than the 230i.

On that note, anything M Sport simply means it has elements that have been borrowed from

the M division for added performance onto the regular model.

BMW i.

This is all of their electric vehicles including the i3 and the i8.

BMW iPerformance.

These are the plug-in hybrid electric vehicles that includes, for example, the 330e and the

530e sedans.

BMW Individual is a collection of personalized cosmetic features whether it be paint or leather

options that are a lot more exclusive than the standard options.

And, if you've ever wondered what the letters after a nameplate mean, here's a breakdown:

d means it has a diesel engine.

i means it has a fuel-injected gas engine.

L means it's a long wheelbase vehicle.

And lastly, x or xDrive refers to BMW's all-wheel drive system which they call xDrive.

And when it comes to body styles within the 2- to 8-series, odd numbers typically mean

it's a sedan while even numbers typically mean that it's a coupe.

When it comes to body style names, gone are the days where automakers would refer to their

cars strictly as sedans, coupes, or SUVs.

BMW's lineup includes a couple of interesting body styles aside from the regular ones which

includes:

Gran Coupe: This is a four-door sedan with a sweeping roofline like a coupe.

Cabriolet: This means convertible.

Gran Turismo: Gran Turismos are sedans, but the chassis is raised slightly and the roof

is higher which gives it a bit of an SUV type of look with a hatchback trunk.

Touring: This is a station wagon.

Korea Consumer Association claims engine control software is to blame for BMW fire crisis - Duration: 0:49.

A probe carried out by the Korea Consumer Association has found the engine control unit

software is to blame for the numerous cases of BMW sedans bursting into in South Korea.

This goes against what the German automaker has insisted.

It says the fault is in its exhaust gas recirculation hardware module.

The investigation group claims BMW has updated its engine control unit software,... which

has enhanced its engine performance and fuel efficiency,... but also put its vehicles at

a higher risk of fire.

The association, comprised of experts from the legal and auto sectors, has been carrying

out its own independent investigation.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has called for a fresh probe to look into

all the possible causes of the fires.

BMW X4 2018 - Maniobra de esquiva (moose test) y eslalon | km77.com - Duration: 2:53.

BMW X4

Moose test

On our first attempt on the Moose test with the BMW X4, we noticed something that had also happened when we tested the X3. If the swerves are performed abruptly,

the ESC comes into action on an abrupt way too.

This can confuse the driver when it first happens, like in this case, because during some time he/she does not have the capacity to guide the car precisely as wanted.

Because of this, we did not pass the test on this first attempt

Once we knew this behaviour, we performed the test acting more smoothly over the steering wheel and we managed to succeed at an entrance speed of 77 km/h.

The intervention of the ESC still is significant, and we think it creates and understeer effect,

but the X4 reacts on a more natural and progressive way and it is easier to guide through the cones.

The higher the entrance speed was, the greater became the oversteer effect.

Having said that, the car never reacts abruptly neither the suspension bounces on such a way that affects the safety and control of the driver over the car.

As we have already said, the key to passing the Moose test at a high speed with this car is to perform smooth and fast

movements on the steering wheel to diminish the actuation of the ESC.

Our test car had an adaptive suspension. On this manoeuvre we did not notice differences between its settings,

more than on Sport mode the steering becomes heavier and it is harder to move the steering wheel quickly.

Slalom

The body roll of the car on the slalom is small when using any of the adaptive suspension modes.

In fact, as it happened on the Moose test, we did not notice any difference except from the greater weight of the steering on Sport mode.

Because of that, we found it easier to perform the slalom on Confort mode than in Sport mode.

The X4 feels nimble when driven through the cones if it is not driven too hard.

Otherwise, when we reached the point in which the ESC came into action, it braked abruptly one of the front wheels and the X4 tended to go straight and out of the turn.
