E28 BMW Buyer's Guide BUYER PROFILE OF BMW E28

The information below is based on my own experience, almost 5 years (at time of writing this document), the owner of a BMW 5 series E28 535i. We preferred to present their own conclusions, but to synthesize materials that already exist on the Web - to find a lot of information in this regard.

Relevant comments and corrections are welcome.


BUYER PROFILE OF BMW E28
The first recommendation that I can start: do not buy an E28, if you are in the unlikely situation of having a passion for BMWs 80s.

E28 BMW 5 Series is not the kind of car for the general public. It was in the '80s and early '90s. Unfortunately, when not everyone could afford it. But now is the time a car exceeded, only the passionate search.

If you want to buy a second hand car and respond positively to at least one of the following situations:

- Want a family car, reliable and relatively economical;

- The only car in the family;

- Machine to be run, currently, by a lady or lady;

- Attaches great importance to comfort, passive safety systems, driver assistance electronic systems;

- Do not have, family, anyone to make the maintenance of a car a passion (and also have enough time for that);

- The car is a means of travel in itself and not an object of sentimental value;

- Along with the necessary amount of purchase, yet not already have min. 1000 EUR in next 2-3 months after purchase, on which I spent only to restore the technical condition of the car;

- Will not allow current maintenance costs (parts, service and fuel) at least double that of a Dacia;

- Intend to keep the car max. 2-3 years, then you can hope to resell;

then we urge you to NOT buy a BMW 5 series E28, however attractive as its price.


POSITIONING
BMW 5 Series platform coded "E28" took place between 1981 and 1988. Is a second-generation 5 series, 5 series is preceded by code "E12" and followed by the 5 Series code "E34".

Full list of BMW E28, offered in Europe is available at this link. There were other market specific models (for example: 533i in the U.S.).

DESCRIPTION
In terms of design, BMW E28 chassis was very conservative, being practically a restyling of the previous generation, E12. Easily noticed some differences: the E28, hood not "cover" wings, as the E12. Seen from the front, the car looks more aggressive. Of the four lights, two outside larger in diameter (as in E23 7 series). The boot is taller and tail lights are different. Different key pillar vent the "C" of the body. At E12, the column "B" (the doors) is visible, while the E28, no. Obviously, the interior is much different (especially the dashboard). However, the windows fit from E12 to E28 and vice versa. Otherwise, however, there are very few common parts between E12 and E28. In terms of mechanics, E28 was a modern platform when it was launched. Very modern.

E28 mechanics is taken and the E24 6 Series since late 1982. That's why BMW E24 platform is the only code that, under the same name, includes two totally different mechanical variants: E24-powered E12 - until 1982, then-powered E24 E28 until the end of production. Setting aside the particular body, then talk about what E28 is perfectly valid and E24 models based on the E28.

Mechanical E28 was so successful that one be found almost unchanged on the next generation 5 Series E34 (certainly damped springs adapted to a heavier body) and the 7 Series E32 (same, with the necessary adaptations). So mechanics designed in the early '80s was used on BMW upper classes (series 5 and 7) until 1995.

Guidelines on hybrid cars


At the launch of the first BMW Active Hybrid I discovered surprised hybrids were regarded with great suspicion: "How's that going hybrid but only three kilometers in electric mode? Well, what's good? Electric that engine is bullshit!" General confusion continued with an advertisement announcing a French builder hybrid technology on a model that did not even have electric motor, "What the hell is going on here? Hybrid What is this? They mock us?"

Things have changed somewhat since then (it's been two years) and hybrid-electric confusion is not so present. However, blurring persists, fueled by staggering terms invented by marketing people zealous "micro-hybrid", "auto start-stop hybrid technology", "brake energy regeneration." Anyone who wants to say "WTF!" Meeting with these words, has the right...


Much plan my comeback blog with some explanations of alleged specialist and encouraged by the initiative's teaching Zvoner, I'll have written:

What the hell is a hybrid car?

First, the secret is hidden in the word. "Hybrid" means the combination of the two issues, in this case the two forms of propulsion. The most common form is the combination of internal combustion engine with one or more electric motors. But we can imagine other combinations, although I do not think there was ever in practice: steam, gasoline, and hydrogen-gasoline.

Secondly, the key is to understand the problem solved by hybrid. No hybrid is intermediate technological solution because we have the technology for a truly electric. The problem was different: when braking, accelerating all the fuel consumed prior was wasted. In other words "burn gas for nothing."

The solution was simple - instead of a friction brake (pad-disc), make a brake with an electric generator. The result - the energy of motion (kinetic) energy is converted into electricity. Imagine a giant bicycle dynamo (for sports fans), when you stick the wheel, bicycle brakes.

In other words, a distinctive element model "hybrid" as we find in the market is Electric motor. It can break with an electrical generator. The generator can be used simply as you go through the same cycle electric motor backwards - electrical energy is converted into kinetic energy - motion.

A first classification of hybrid models can be done as "influential" is the electric motor:
- Full hybrid, the electric motor can propel one car (Toyota Prius and BMW 5 Series ActiveHybrid)
- Mild hybrid, the electric motor only supports moving along the internal combustion (Mercedes S-Class Hybrid)
- Micro-hybrid - there is an electric motor, but no concept of "braking power generator" so-called "Brake Energy RECUPERATION / regeneration".

And they can make a second classification, as the link between the two types of engines and wheels:
- Parallel hybrid, both engines can train wheels (and then have full, mild, etc.).
- Hybrid series, the internal combustion engine not involve wheels, drives a generator that produces electricity for another electric motor. It seems a very complicated scratching the ear wrong, but the system is successful Chevy Volt and Opel Ampera with. The "series hybrid" describes the concept of "range extender", is empowering electric motor with an internal combustion engine.
- For rigorous, there is "two-mode hybrid" which combines the first 2 Category in a single system.

Need to understand a complicated expression and are almost done with grief: "Brake Energy RECUPERATION / regeneration". That is not what it seems.
Be aware that any machine "normal" is battery and has a generator (which appoints alternator auto mechanic). This "generator" is permanently coupled to the engine and uses the engine power to charge the battery permanently (and car battery starts supplying all electric car - lights, radio, wipers). Modern solution is simple - the acceleration Disconnect alternator to have more power from the engine to the wheels. Braking load on the battery quickly. So I have more power on acceleration and lower fuel consumption.
Demanding, for customer benefits are impressive, it is called "Brake Energy Regeneration". The secret is to have a generator (which still exists), but how and when they use it.

And conclude with another information "surprising". Electric motor is on any modern car for more than 50 years. He is called "starter", "starter" or "electric". Its role is to print the first rotation engine to start. No "starter" car porn "to handle".
Just one last explanation: Auto Start-Stop system, which helps to not consume fuel unnecessarily when sitting at traffic lights, for example. Problem is that everything on and off this site require starter who can give more. Parallel hybrid models (I learned something today), the system can use the electric motor to start the internal combustion - is smoother, simpler and faster. Replacing starter classic, powerful electric motor justify the term "Auto start-stop hybrid technology."

There are a few secret "dirty" about hybrid models to be taken into account. Firstly we are not yet able to build efficient batteries. Anyone worked with phone charger in your pocket for the battery begins to discharge in 30 minutes, know what I mean. Batteries used for hybrid and electric cars are lithium ion battery as used on laptops and modern phones.

Batteries are relatively heavy, with motor vehicle more difficult. This means that a hybrid model is often less effective than a classic one outside the city, where no "benefit" of repeated braking. But solutions begin to appear, with a very intelligent management system, BMW 5 Series ActiveHybrid begin to announce some interesting ideas.

Eventually, technology, hybrid models are still passing into power. Some of the technologies that are found are developed for hybrid electric are easily taken, batteries, motors and braking power generation. The advantage is that it is implemented quickly and in large volumes of hybrid models to achieve an "economy of scale".

Shopping guide to car seats for children


What could be more important than the safety of our own children? Are safety car seats for their children, or just a fad? Studies show that in a car that runs with a speed of 48 km / h, when a collision, a child weighing 9 kg is designed with a momentum of 275 kg * m / s It is unlikely that a parent can protect their child in such situations. Real conclusion is that yes we need these devices. The role of these car seats car is not just to provide some comfort, he summarizes the entire child's needs car. Is a car seat that you find in most stores but remain the most appropriate specialized physical or online stores that deal exclusively and are dedicated only to children and especially babies?

hello world

this is the new post http://fcarspeakout.blogspot.com/

Guide a beginner raider
If you are reading this, then you are at least curious what this word “raider” is for the last time increasingly moving from article to article. All have heard, few know exactly what this is. There is so complicated - just anyone can do. So no more talking, let's get straight to the point.

Did you like the neighbor's apartment or car? Or maybe you have a competitor across the street and hard you want to expand your business's account, with minimal costs? Then you have come right place. All you'll need is:

Developed a tight budget. Its components: bribes, commissions for unscrupulous lawyers and "others" - Curve, sauna, drink - relationship building is called.

Some knowledge - both in legislation and personal information - including judges and prosecutors. Specific knowledge are indispensable. The most important people know, the less you will be the budget.

More guts and zero scruples. You know, the guys are making something less worthy and cannot sleep at night. You're not in this, right?

If million job if you do not want to know the world, you need offshore sites. But that's the only reason it is not mandatory. If you can sleep well at night and without them you scratching your head. You have to convince yourself of those listed below.

To keep things simple, we will not talk about banks, gas stations or television. If you try to document how to do just this blog, you do not have the budget for it, anyway. Let's say you have a house, but you do one next to it, in the same yard. But the space you have. If we expand, just down the hill from the account of the neighbor. That does not sell and you do not want to give a lot of money. What are you doing? Two-stage and three moves, everything is resolved for good!

1. A piece of paper and smears on it such that this neighbor, you owes 50,000 euro. Money that he saw from you and you gave him not. But the paperwork writes clear who owes whom.

2. Sue him. But in any court, but where do you have judge. Although or nation, one must live well. He has children to go to English or swimming, more like a Lexus thing. But do not be careful, it will cost you much less in the end.

3. Without even knowing neighbor, judgment takes place in the present that as evidence of debt - those 50 000 euro that you want to save them from this transaction. The judge decided that the debt, already the neighbor's house is yours! Next month bills at your next house wine, legally, you, the new owner, so IAI pretty and come with a bailiff to sweep the house without any fear. The law is on your side. Prosecutor will raise the shoulders, because, among other things, is your second cousin. They will do the job within the law. Will not do anything that is not written in law, although we all know that what the law does not prohibit, is basically illegal. This principle applies, but only when need.

4. Subsequently do what you want and how you want. Sell house good money and you washed your hands. He did, where new buyer know where you got home? Documents are usually solid. You have done what you did, but he did not know (or may not know) And this, fool, already ex-your neighbor, let judgment go through years to come. Until reaching his case in court house can change, legal, 15 owners.

Work, however, can be made more sophisticated and show the world without getting finger. You open a company in the Seychelles, which comes with the same paperwork to court and take the first step. After that sell the house of a certain John from New Zealand, who later sold it to you did. And are very ok. Do not you say one thing, because not only you as John seized the house, right? How do you know them all? He knew absolutely nothing (possibly).

You saw how easy? Anyone can do it! So quick to work. Strategically speaking, if you have some gaps in this chapter, you should start with judges and prosecutors. It is a myth that justice is not independent in this country. They are completely independent, including independent by law. They also have immunity. And if it and try to sanction a judge on a case or another, the Superior Council of Magistrates, who have to discipline them, they will defend. For the vast majority of members of this institution are all judges, all independent, all with immunity.

Next year can you set higher targets, be creative, more complicated scheme. Now you have money, you business. Ideally, make yourself member - just in case. You know what tomorrow brings ...

Good luck, my friend!
