BMW ek big explosive plan kar rahe hai, unka BMW M division (high performance cars wala) approx. 30 new models launch karne ki planning kar rahe hai. Isme BMW M or M Performance both types ke models include hai, or ye un 40 new ya updated cars ke alawa hai jo BMW ne last year mention kiye the.
Kuch in models ko hum pehle hi spy photos mein dekh chuke hai. For example, BMW iX3 M ko hi le lo, jo last January Sweden mein spot ki gayi thi.
Is list mein redesigns or restylings bhi honge. Ye cheez humein BMW M5 ke saath bhi dekhne ko milegi, jo kaafi controversial rahi hai, or uski M5 Touring version ke saath bhi. (Waise Touring version ka look utna zyada discuss ya controversial nahi tha jab wo first time reveal hui thi.)
BME M expects to introduce 30 new models in under 3 years
iX3 M ke despite, hum new i3 ka ek i3 M version bhi dekh sakte hai, iska pre production version hum already pehle dekh chuke hai.
Thoda strange lag sakta hai, especially jab BMW M3 ke fans itne passionate hote hai, but kuch countries mein (jaise France) jahan CO2 emissions par kaafi high tax lagta hai, wahan ke logon ke liye aisi car kaafi practical choice ho sakti hai.
Is list mein X5, X6 or X7 ke expected redesigns bhi included hai, or 7 series facelift ke M Performance variants bhi pipeline mein hai. Kaafi saare electric vehicles honge, but powerful combustion engine ka bhi strong continuation rahega, jo 2 reasons ki wajah se bilkul sense banata hai.
First reason hai tradition (or uske economic benefits, jaise major German brands ke case mein hota hai), or second reason hai khud ko other brands se different present karna especially un brands se jo China se aa rahe hai or different type ke products la rahe hai.
BMW retains the 6 and 8 8 cylinder engines due to customer demand
Second reason simple hai, ye bilkul wahi hai jo unke loyal customers chahte hai or expect karte hai.
"Hum isko continue karne ka plan kar rahe hai, because hamari ek big global community hai. And kaafi log aise bhi hai jo abhi poori tarah ready nahi hai, ya phir aise environment mein rehte hai jahan electric car charge karna thoda complicated ho jata hai," Frank van Meel, CEO of BMW M ne kaha.
And saath hi classic engines ke, ek or classic cheez aati hai, gearbox. Nowdays few cars mein manual gearbox milta hai, jo car lovers ke liye ek important cheez hai or BMW M ke customers ke between kaafi demand mein rehta hai (waise hi jaise Porsche or uske 911 GT3 fans ke liye).
Manual transmission is becoming obsolete
Ek point of view se dekha jaye so manual gearbox utna practical nahi lagta, because ye torque delivery or fuel consumption dono mein thoda limit kar deta hai. but kaafi log manual gearbox like karte hai, isi liye humne ab tak ise rakha hua hai, or jitna ho sake utni time tak ise continue rakhne ka plan hai," van Meel ne bola.
Future mein completely new gearboxes develop karna kaafi difficult ho jayega, because ye market ka bahut small sa niche hai, or suppliers ab aise work karne mein interested nahi hai. Unke liye survive karna bhi tough hoga, especially next decade mein," BMW M ke CEO ne bola, jab wo four electric motors ke saath iX3 M ka development continue kar rahe the.
Technology challenges passion
Abhi dekhna interested hai ki BMW M ke jo other 30 planned cars unki identity kya hogi, especially jab kuch BMW ke models already discontinue ho chuke hai. Most clear example BMW Z4 ka hai, jo apna lifecycle complete kar chuki hai, or same cheez uski Japanese sister car Toyota GR Supra ke saath bhi hone wali hai.
Thoda interesting, ya maybe thoda sa worrying bhi, hai ki BMW khud keh raha hai ki manual transmission ke days ab limited reh gaye hai.
Unhone khud ek system develop kiya tha jo us dangerous "Money Shift" ko avoid kare, maybe isliye ki technology ko perfect kar lein, before future needs ki wajah se woh outdated ho jaye.
Phir bhi, technically dekha jaye so electric cars mein bhi manual transmission possible hai.
Weird lagta hai? Haan. Possible hai? Absolutely.
