demanded that there be a clear plan of the government


And demanded that there be a clear plan of the government to develop the economy and increase in per capita income, commensurate with the requirements of life in order to get to the global averages, both in per capita income or in the prices of products.

He stressed that the allocation of 150 liters per month at 1800 liters per year of the vehicle is less than 1600 cc are good rates and sufficient consumption car in case of need will be in the lower border, pointing out that international auto companies began to develop engines and has done a modified these engines so up engine power 2000 cc to less than 1600 and works with the same efficiency and output that the gasoline crisis is not a crisis but Egyptian is present in every country in the world.

And blew عبدالعاطى surprise that the use of gasoline 95 and 92 is not limited to luxury cars only and that increase Displacement of 1600 cc, but that there are cars 1000 cc and 1300 cc used this type of gasoline because something imposed on them and are committed to its private that all modern cars must be in line with the harmonization project environment and as a result added part in the composition of the car named "Ktaliser" explaining that this part responsible for reducing carbon dioxide and use less petrol than 92 swells and works to bridge Shukhman car.

BMW

Each of these engines are turbocharged, with direct injection and BMW's Valvetronic system, which can vary intake valve lift to both save fuel and aid responsiveness. Fuel economy ratings are an impressive 23 mpg city, 34 highway for the 528i and 20/30 mpg. Engine Auto Start/Stop also helps save fuel in stop-and-go driving by stopping the engine momentarily, then starting it smartly when you begin to ease off the brake pedal. An "Eco Pro" mode allows for more mindful driving, while a single Driving Dynamics Control selector lets the driver click between Comfort, Normal, Sport and Sport+ modes that coordinate throttle and transmission response, steering boost, stability-control intervention and in affected cars, the Dynamic Damping Control suspension (which helps combine a soft ride with crisp response when you need it) and Active Roll Stabilization (which reduces lean in cornering). Additionally, a system called Integral Active Steering is available and gives the 5-Series sedan a more nimble feel by steering--slightly--with the rear wheels


Series generation


Most-loved by enthusiasts is the third 7 Series generation, which offered considerable advances in handling and performance without the plethora of complex accessories that are found in later cars. Many BMW fans are also very fond of this automobile's styling, which retains many of the marque's classic design cues. The V-12 got a bump to 326 horsepower, which was now delivered through a five-speed automatic transmission. With the addition of headlight washers, auto-leveling headlamps, satellite navigation, rain-sensing wipers, and a 14-speaker sound system, the 7 Series sedan had become one of the most feature-packed cars of the 1990s.



specific crowds


Two other models cater to very specific crowds, radically different from each other. The Alpina B7 gets a special 500-hp, twin-turbo version of the V8, huge 21-inch wheels, and Dynamic Damping Control with Active Roll Stabilization, an adjustable suspension system designed to bring the handling benefits of a high-performance sedan without the harsh ride. There's also an ActiveHybrid 7 model that combines the 3.0L twin-turbo inline-6, 8-speed automatic transmission and electric motor system with lithium-ion battery technology, enabling zero-to-60 acceleration in just 5.6 seconds.

classic styling

In 2002, BMW made a design U-turn, abandoning the classic styling cues that had long distinguished the brand in favor of what pundits described as a more conventional shape. When the faithful are devout believers, any departure from the true path can generate a critical response, so some Bimmer fans were very unhappy with the new sheetmetal. To this radical styling change add another game-altering move: the full adaptation of the I-Drive computer system. This innovative microprocessor-equipped device is in charge of climate control, audio, and the nav system--all by means of a single display. Many drivers have found it bewildering. And a long list of high-tech features caused some to wonder if an "ultimate driving machine' really needed so much electronic adornment

distance comfortable

The 7-Series also has a host of electronics that not only help increase safety and stability but help the 7-Series drive like a smaller sedan. xDrive models come with Hill Descent Control, which can help keep speed within a set speed between 6 and 15 mph on very steep, slippery (snow-covered or icy) inclines. There's also an Integrated Chassis Management system that individually applies the brakes and throttle individually and helps xDrive-equipped cars handle better. All 7-Series models come with an excellent double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension, bringing a very responsive feel without ignoring ride comfort. Long-wheelbase (740Li and 750Li) versions come with a self-leveling air spring system for heavier loads, and back-seat space in those vehicles is vast. The front seats in all 7-Series models are firm but long-distance comfortable and very adjustable

the driver a choice



Electronic Damping Control, which gives the driver a choice of Comfort, Normal, Sport and Sport Plus modes, also comes with all 7-Series models. It controls the attitude of the electronic stability control system, along with throttle responsiveness, shift behavior and steering assist. The optional Integral Active Steering system adds even more responsiveness, by actually steering the rear wheels (less at higher speeds) to help with maneuverability up to about 75 mph.

twin-turbocharged



BMW 750i and 750Li come powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 making 445 horsepower and 480 lb-ft. At the top of the lineup is the flagship 760Li, with a 6.0L V12 engine making 535 horsepower. Both 750s and the 760Li utilize the 8-speed automatic transmission


automatic transmission.



740i and 740Li models get a 315-horsepower, 3.0L inline 6-cylinder engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The all-aluminum engine has twin turbochargers, variable-cam technology and direct injection, all of which help it produce strong torque output at low revs--a full 330 pound-feet from 1,600 rpm. These models now feature available xDrive, which helps improve on-the-road traction and stability and normally sends 60 percent of power to the rear wheels.


wide range



The 2013 BMW 7-Series is available in a wide range of models--and in two different sedan body styles. Models designated with an 'L' get five inches of additional wheelbase, most of which goes to additional back-seat legroom.


convertible


Today's 650i is available as both coupe and convertible, and it's a driver's car in the best tradition of the brand. With an equipment list that includes 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions, a 360-horsepower V-8, and a sport-package suspension, the automobile offers everything the most enthusiastic road warrior could want



Series saw the light


In 2003 the second version of the 6 Series saw the light of day at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Gone were the backward rake of the nose and the squared off lines. In their place was a gracefully rounded shape with nary a squared-off corner to be found. Once again, the coupe's platform was based on the 5 Series, and, once again, it was greeted with enthusiasm by fans of the marque. The enthusiastic reception was understandable since the 645Ci premiered with a potent 325 horsepower 4.5 litre V8. A more modest 630Ci, with a 258 horsepower six, followed shortly thereafter. Another M6, with a strapping 507-pony powerplant, came along in 2005



coupe family were


The first members of the 6-Series coupe family were the 630CS and 633 CSi. Like the 3.0CS and CSi that preceded them, the new coupes featured bodies by Karmann and were very easy on the eyes. Eventually, body production was taken over by the parent company, but by then the stylish shape of the coupes had been well defined. All versions of the first 6 Series were built on a platform similar to that of the 5 Series and powered by variants of the BMW inline six engine. The first offerings of the series offered modest performance with a 176-horsepower 3 litre providing the muscle. One of the last, the M6, was a lot more entertaining with 256 ponies on tap and a performance-tuned suspension that helped ensure the power could be put to good use. In 1989 the first 6 series was discontinued, and the new 8 Series became the sole offering in a coupe configuration.

My next car will most certainly be a Honda.

I have nothing but good things to say about my Honda. It's a CRX from the Reagan era ('88), and in retrospect was one of the most forward-thinking cars of its time. Sure, it's a little two-seater, but it has plenty of cargo room and gets 35 MPG. It's taken me across the country twice, clocking an impressive 200k miles (and still going strong).

Reliability is paramount to me, and it's delivered this very nicely. It's never broken down on me; keeping to the scheduled maintenance no doubt has helped, but most cars have problems even then. Honda dealer service is great (if a bit pricey), and they've never had a problem with getting parts even with a car this old.
