Le 6 regole auree per un corretto acquisto di una vettura usata

<<Scopo del mio brand new blog stefanorossiautomotiveinternational.blogspot.com è mostrare, settimana dopo settimana ed offerte commerciali alla mano, il value for money incarnato dal mercato delle auto di seconda mano. Personalmente ho sempre creduto nell'usato: esso – purché si osservino le 6 regole che ho elaborato - può riservare gradevoli sorprese. E dico ciò a ragion veduta: nel 2011, quando lavoravo presso la SCA (Mercedes), ho venduto a mia sorella una BMW 116d del 2010 con 25.000 km. Quest’auto è tuttora in possesso di mia sorella ed ha raggiunto la ragguardevole soglia dei 300.000 km in ottime condizioni generali – come io stesso ho avuto modo di verificare in un percorso di 1.200 km. Gradevoli sorprese, per l’appunto. Appassionato d’auto sin da quando ero bambino, come venditore ho trattato sia M1 nuove ed usate di svariati Marchi, sia N1 Opel e Fiat Professional. Ora, da ex venditore, ho deciso di aprire questo blog per curiosare nel settore che più mi ha appassionato dal punto di vista professionale – ovvero il mercato delle auto di seconda mano. E trovo perciò di grande utilità riportare qui a seguire quelle che ritengo essere le 6 regole auree per il corretto acquisto di un’auto usata. (1) Optare per un prodotto di qualità: ovvero, scegliere un modello appartenente a Marchi dall’elevato indice di affidabilità, in grado di macinare centinaia di migliaia di chilometri senza creare grossi problemi; beninteso, l’auto perfetta, l’auto che non si rompe mai, non esiste – però esistono Marchi che producono vetture dall’elevata qualità costruttiva. Per prodotto di qualità intendo per l’appunto una vettura appartenente a quella tipologia di Marchi. (2) Acquistare con cognizione di causa e non alla cieca: ovvero, optare per Concessionari in grado di effettuare la certificazione del chilometraggio, mostrare lo storico tagliandi e dare la garanzia. (3) Manutentare regolarmente l’usato acquistato: ovvero, effettuare i tagliandi previsti dal Costruttore alle scadenze previste. (4) Utilizzare con la dovuta cura: anche le migliori auto, se bistrattate da guidatori maldestri, nel lungo periodo creano problemi. (5) Effettuare, prima dell’acquisto, una mappatura delle proprie, reali, esigenze di mobilità: vivo in una metropoli come Milano e Roma, in una città di media grandezza, o in provincia? Quanti chilometri percorro in un anno? E quanti di questi in città, su percorsi extraurbani ed in autostrada? Ho una sola auto a disposizione o due? Bisogna rispondere a siffatte domande per poter poi procedere con la scelta della giusta motorizzazione: benzina, diesel, mild-hybrid, full-hybrid, plug-in o elettrica? (6) Stabilire, prima dell’acquisto, a quale categoria di potenziale cliente dell’usato si appartiene: quella del “compro, tengo due o tre anni e poi rivendo?” o quella del “compro, tengo il più a lungo possibile e poi rottamo?”. I relativi parametri d’acquisto – come, ad esempio, data di prima immatricolazione e Marca – sono infatti molto diversi. Supponiamo che io abbia a disposizione 28.000,00 euro e che presso il mio Concessionario di fiducia trovi, a quella cifra, tanto (i) una VW Golf ottava serie 2.0 tdi 150cv Style Dsg del 2021 con 50.000 km quanto (ii) una Skoda Superb Wagon Scout terza serie (o serie uscente) 2.0 tdi 184cv 4X4 Dsg del 2019 con 85.000 km. Se io appartengo alla categoria del “compra, tieni il più a lungo possibile e poi rottama” – allora posso benissimo prendermi il lusso di valutare le due ottime alternative e magari alla fine decidere per una più spaziosa, confortevole e lussuosa Skoda. Ma se io al contrario appartengo alla categoria del “compra, tieni due o tre anni al massimo e poi rivendi” – allora è molto meglio optare per la Golf ottava serie: i relativi parametri (ovvero, tipologia di modello dall’elevato indice di rivendibilità, motorizzazione, cambio, allestimento, data di prima immatricolazione e chilometraggio) rendono infatti quella vettura perfetta per un acquisto con la prospettiva della rivendita dopo due o tre anni>> Stefano Rossi – Blog’s Author.

BMW Begins 2020 With Multiple Award Wins

BMW has kicked off 2020 by adding 13 industry awards to the brand’s ever-growing collection of accolades. The spectrum of awards, including a quartet of category wins in the What Car? Awards 2020, Company Car Today CCT100 Awards and Great British Fleet Awards, underlines the variety of the BMW model line-up and its class-leading status in multiple segments.  

Four category wins in What Car? Awards 2020

BMW’s 3 Series and 5 Series triumphed at the What Car? Awards 2020, winning praise for their usability, ease of ownership and advanced technologies.

The 3 Series won the Safety Award, with the 330e also taking home trophies for Best Plug-in Hybrid Car and Best Executive Car.

Steve Huntingford, Editor, What Car?, said: “The astonishing BMW 330e is not only the best plug-in hybrid you can buy, but the best executive car full stop. It slickly integrates the latest green technology with the long-held wants and needs of people shopping in this class.”

He added that the advanced plug-in hybrid was easy to live with, that it is “of the very highest standard everywhere inside” and is “fantastic to drive, yet well priced and cheap to run”.

The 5 Series reigned supreme in the fiercely-contest Best Luxury Car category. After announcing it as What Car?’s favourite luxury car since the seventh-generation version was launched in 2016, Huntingford added: “not only is it the most comfortable and quietest car in its price bracket, but it also offers a better driving position than any comparable car and its feature-packed, user-friendly infotainment system is light years ahead of everything else”. The model’s frugal running costs also contributed to the win, with What Car? highlighting that it was cheaper than its rivals to run privately, or as a company car.

Quadruple BMW victory at the Great British Fleet Awards

BMW was voted Fleet Manufacturer of the Year at the 2020 Great British Fleet Awards, with Fleet World applauding the commitment of its UK fleet team in making a BMW business purchase easy and straightforward.

Martyn Collins, Editor, Fleet World said: “BMW have upped up the ante in the last year with Rob East and the team having implemented changes to bring sustainable channel management to the company. They’ve also aligned the BMW and MINI brands to complement, rather than compete against each other, all working together to make buying a BMW easier.”

The new 1 Series and 3 Series were also category winners. The 1 Series was named Best Lower Medium Fleet Car, with the 3 Series winning Best Fleet Compact Executive Car and Best New Fleet Car.

Confirming why the 1 Series was victorious, Collins highlighted its impressive interior space and connectivity. He concluded that it was “great to drive and impressively refined”.

He was equally complimentary of the 3 Series, adding: “At Fleet World, we’re big fans of the latest model launched just over a year ago, as it’s such a complete all-rounder, offering more interior space, impressive tech, combined with efficient engines to keep costs down.”

1 Series, 3 Series and 5 Series awarded at Company Car Today CCT100 Awards

BMW underlined the suitability of its model range for fleets and company drivers after the 1 Series, 3 Series and 5 Series were all category winners in the Company Car Today CCT100 Awards.

The CCT100 is Company Car Today’s definitive list of the 100 cars that can fulfil any business car requirement, and it was the 3 Series that was voted number one, winning the CCT100 Car of the Year Award. The 3 Series added to its success with the Compact Executive Car of the Year Award.

The awards haul was bolstered with the 1 Series winning the Premium Lower Medium Car of the Year Award and the 5 Series being named Executive Car of the Year.

On awarding BMW, Paul Barker, Editor, said: “It was a big year of change for BMW, with the new 1 Series and 3 Series being launched in 2019, but these awards prove the brand has successfully and brilliantly replaced two fleet favourites with models that are more efficient, cleverer and better all-round than their predecessors, while the 5 Series, a former CCT100 Car of the Year, continues to be the best Executive model by some distance.”

There was further recognition for the 3 Series at the Company Car and Van Awards, the 330e adding to its growing number of trophies by winning the Plug-in Hybrid Car of the Year Award. Company Car and Van editor Andrew Walker praised 330e as “arguably the best plug-in car full stop.”

330e model planned for 2020.

Woodcliff Lake, NJ – Oct. 2, 2018. Today, BMW proudly introduces the seventh generation of the iconic sports sedan, the BMW 3 Series. Over the past 40 years, no single model has embodied the concept of the Ultimate Driving Machine better than the BMW 3 Series Sedan. Modern design, agile handling, exceptional efficiency and innovative equipment features, all signature characteristics of a BMW, have been raised to a higher level through tireless engineering and testing. The new 2019 BMW 3 Series sedan represents not only the core of the BMW 3 Series range (of which over 15 million units have been sold worldwide) but also the heart and passion of the BMW brand.

When the first BMW 3 Series arrived on U.S. shores in 1976 as a successor to the iconic BMW 2002, it built upon the sport sedan foundation pioneered by that model and launched a new name: the BMW 3 Series that would become BMW’s most successful model – a status it retains to this day. Over the course of six model generations, the BMW 3 Series has ranked as the world’s biggest-selling premium car, led the way for high-performance powertrain and chassis technology and earned a reputation as a pioneer of technological innovations in its segment. The latest edition of the car sees BMW building on the sporting tradition of the 3 Series, whose exploits in race competition have earned it many accolades. The seventh generation of the sports sedan moves the game on once again in terms of driving dynamics, not to mention premium quality and innovation, in its segment.

BMW 330i: more power and torque Boasting numerous detail upgrades, the new 2.0-liter, inline 4-cylinder powering the new 2019 BMW 330i unit delivers 255 hp between 5,000 and 6,500 rpm and a peak torque of 295 lb-ft from 1,550 to 4,400 rpm. The 7 hp increase in output and the extra 37 lb-ft of torque compared with the predecessor engine are the result of the focused optimization of the BMW TwinPower Turbo system – which is made up a twin-scroll turbocharger, High Precision Injection direct petrol injection, VALVETRONIC fully variable valve timing and Double-VANOS variable camshaft timing. The High Precision Injection system ensures precise fuel metering and particularly clean combustion, its new fuel pump generating maximum pressure of 350 bar compared with the 200 bar of the previous version. The improved direct injection system enables optimal fuel flow through the combustion chambers with atomized fuel delivered by multi-hole injectors. Other characteristics of this engine include a lighter crankshaft, reduced internal friction, optimized heat management and a new digital engine management system. An impressive 0 to 60 mph time of 5.6 seconds belies the enhanced efficiency of the new BMW 330i Sedan.

The 2019 BMW 330i arrives in March 2019 with a starting price of $40,250 plus $995 destination. The 330i xDrive sedan will start at $42,250 plus $995 destination.

In addition to the 4 cylinder 330i, the line-up will expand further to include a BMW M Performance version with extremely sporting characteristics and a BMW iPerformance model with the latest plug-in hybrid drive technology.

BMW M340i and M340i xDrive M Performance Spring of 2019 will see the arrival of the BMW M340i and M340i xDrive Sedans. The new BMW M Performance model will showcase the full dynamic potential of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. An updated six-cylinder in-line gasoline engine, M Performance chassis tuning, optional xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive and the standard M Sport rear differential will deliver performance attributes that will impress any driver.

The new version of the straight-six engine developed for the BMW M340i xDrive Sedan will produce 382 hp and peak torque of 369 lb-ft. A 0–60 mph time of 4.2 seconds (provisional figure) takes the BMW M Performance model into performance territory inhabited by high-caliber sports cars.

8-speed Sport Steptronic transmission: improvement and greater integration The new 2019 BMW 330i and 330i xDrive Sedans are equipped with the 8-speed Sport Steptronic transmission as standard. The latest upgrade of this sport automatic transmission sees a wider gear spread (from 7.8 to 8.2 and also increases internal efficiency and improves vibration suppression. There is a new control unit and further enhanced gearshift dynamics. In addition to the optimized hydraulic control system, the shorter gearing for the lower ratios boosts the acceleration capability of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. The 8HP 8-speed Sport Steptronic transmission delivers even shorter shift times and a Launch Control function for highly dynamic, traction optimized acceleration off the line than previous versions. Shift paddles on the steering wheel allow manual gear selection.

Intelligent connectivity enables the sport automatic transmission to adapt its shift strategy according to the route and driving situation. With the optional Navigation system, the 8-speed Sport Steptronic transmission uses data from this system and from the Active Cruise Control system’s radar sensor. This makes it possible for the transmission to avoid unnecessary gear changes when negotiating a series of fast corners and, when approaching a vehicle ahead, for example, to shift down early in order to use the engine braking to scrub off speed.

The Auto Start Stop function and the coasting function available in conjunction with the 8-speed Steptronic transmission in the new BMW 3 Series Sedan also use data supplied by the optional navigation system with data from the standard Active Guard driving assistance systems’ front camera. In this way, inefficient engine shutdown – for example when stopping briefly at junctions or roundabouts – can be prevented. Movement of vehicles ahead is registered in order to determine the ideal moment for the Auto Start Stop function to stop and start the engine. The coasting function is now available when either ECO Pro or COMFORT mode is selected using the Driving Experience Control switch between 9 and 99 mph. The efficiency-enhancing decoupling of the powertrain only takes place in driving situations where performance and comfort are not compromised. If the driver suddenly lifts off the accelerator, the powertrain stays connected so that engine braking can be used to support deceleration. For the same reason, powertrain disconnection is also prevented when approaching a junction or a vehicle ahead.

BMW xDrive: fully variable and more efficient. The latest version of the intelligent all-wheel-drive system splits drive torque between the front and rear wheels more efficiently than in the previous 3 Series model. The fully variable power transfer ensures maximum traction and directional stability in all road and weather conditions while also promoting sportier handling. This functionality comes courtesy of the electronically controlled multi-plate clutch in the transfer case which links up with the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system and constantly adjusts power transmission – precisely and in a fraction of a second – in response to the driving situation. In this way, any tendency of the vehicle to oversteer or understeer greatly reduced.

The system’s rear-biased set-up helps ensure the new BMW 3 Series Sedan retains the exhilarating driving experience drivers expect from a BMW. Sending more drive power to the rear wheels under normal driving increases agility when cornering. In situations which do not require all-wheel drive, the efficiency of BMW xDrive is increased by directing all the engine’s torque to the rear wheels. The weight of the system has also been reduced, while optimized oil supply increases internal efficiency.

Chassis Technology: Sportiness and comfort When developing the body structure and chassis technology of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan, a number of clear priorities were used: enhanced driving dynamics, agile handling characteristics, high-precision steering and superior braking performance. The foundations for these attributes are provided by weight optimization, a low center of gravity, a perfect 50:50 front/rear weight distribution and, above all, by the increase in the front and rear track compared with the predecessor model, significantly increased camber values for the front wheels and the substantial increase in the stiffness of the body structure and suspension mountings. Overall body rigidity is up 25 percent, rising to as much as a 50 percent improvement in certain areas. The increased rigidity of the body and suspension mountings enables the M Sport suspension and Adaptive M suspension to go about their work in the most efficient way possible allowing for suspension spring rates to be increased by 20 percent over the previous-generation BMW 3 Series Sedan without loss of comfort.

In addition to these measures, new shock absorber technology has been developed for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. Used for the first time in a BMW model, the lift-related dampers are part of the car’s standard chassis and make a major contribution to the unique balance of sportiness and comfort – unrivalled by any other manufacturer – which defines the character of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. The car’s handling and steering dynamics can be fine-tuned with a series of precisely matched chassis options. The functionally coordinated interplay of suspension, steering, tires, brake system and differential lock makes sport driving an effortlessly enjoyable experience.

Lightweight construction and increased rigidity deliver greater agility. The rigorous testing and development of the new chassis design enhances the agility of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan in a number of ways. Many details of the proven double-joint spring strut front suspension and five-link rear suspension have been upgraded. Along with the sportier handling, the car’s ride comfort and acoustics have both been improved. Aluminum swivel bearings and control arms for the front axle, aluminum wheel mounts and a new generation of wheel bearings for the rear axle significantly reduce unsprung mass. The front axle – with its increased level of component rigidity, the shear panels used to connect the axle to the body and its specially tuned kinematics – enhances both steering precision and cornering dynamics. Factors contributing to the high level of comfort provided by the sedan include a hydraulically damped torque strut bearing, which eliminates vibration and oscillation. At the rear axle, extremely rigid control arms and axle sub-frames along with the use of thrust arms for the body mounting ensure very precise wheel location.

Body weight reduced by as much as 121 lbs., drag coefficient as low as 0.26. As with the individual chassis components, the weight of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan’s body construction has been reduced. The progress achieved through BMW efficient lightweight measures is rooted in an intelligent material mix including increased use of high-strength steels and aluminum. The body-in-white is 44 lbs. lighter than the outgoing model and the front spring struts and engine sub-frame of the BMW 3 Series Sedan are now made of aluminum. This reduces the weight of the body structure by some 16.5 lbs. compared with the predecessor model. A further weight saving of almost 33 lbs. is achieved through the use of aluminum for the hood and front fenders.

The optimization of its aerodynamic characteristics benefits not only the efficiency of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan, but also its performance. The drag coefficient (Cd) of the BMW 3 Series sedan has been reduced to a low 0.26, a reduction of .03 Cd over the previous BMW 3 Series. Factors responsible for the new segment-leading figures include the almost completely sealed underbody, aerodynamically optimized wheels, the use of Air Curtains at the front of the car and the latest generation of active air flap control, which extends across the BMW kidney grille and lower air intake.

Premiere for lift-related dampers. A newly developed suspension and damping system contributes to the beautifully balanced handling of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. The introduction of lift-related damper control reduces body movement perceptibly smoothing out vibrations caused by bumpy road surfaces and dynamic cornering, which paves the way for sporty, authoritative handling. The system adds extra hydraulic damping at the front axle and a compression limiting system at the rear. It is continuously variable and adjusts the damper firmness progressively according to the changing spring travel. This prevents excessive body dive when driving over large bumps and so avoids uncomfortable, nervous damping response.

At the front axle, the first line of defense against body vibrations is an additional element within the inner sleeve of the damper. Only when greater loads are encountered does the entire damper become active. The rear dampers adapt continuously to the driving situation. Even when the vehicle is carrying heavier loads, they provide the ideal degree of hydraulic damping for the situation at hand. Lift-related damping is an active element of the suspension set-up and is designed specifically to optimize the balance between sportiness and comfort. The positive effect of progressive suspension adjustment can also be felt in less demanding circumstances; even small bumps can trigger damper lift, which makes a noticeable difference in enhancing passenger comfort.

The new BMW 3 Series Sedan benefits from lift-related damping on both the standard and optional M Sport suspensions. With kinematics and elastokinematics clearly tuned for dynamic driving, the M Sport suspension features more rigid bearings and additional body struts, firmer springs and anti-roll bars, and an even higher degree of wheel camber.

During fast compression and rebound, the damping forces are some 20 percent greater than the values with the standard suspension. This means that the difference between the two suspension options is about twice as great as on the predecessor model. Another element of the M Sport suspension – which now also applies to the all-wheel-drive model variants of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan – is a 0.4 inch lower ride height.

Adaptive M suspension with electronically controlled dampers. As an alternative to the suspension variants with standard damper technology, customers can also specify Adaptive M suspension. This combines the characteristics of M Sport suspension with electronically controlled dampers. Able to deliver damping force to each wheel separately via continuously adjustable valves, it is both the sportiest and most comfortable suspension variant available for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. The latest version of this damping system operates with new valves and an optimized control algorithm, which now also enables load-dependent control of the damping forces. In addition, switching between the different modes using the Driving Experience Control switch now results in a much more perceptible variation in the damping characteristics. In COMFORT mode, the electronically controlled dampers provide well-balanced long distance comfort, whereas in SPORT mode they encourage a much more dynamic driving style. As well as modifying the damper configuration, each setting also influences the steering, accelerator response and the shift dynamics of the Steptronic transmission. ADAPTIVE mode is now also available. With this setting selected, the car automatically adjusts its responses to the driving style and, depending on the equipment specified, to the route profile. The control system responds to accelerator and steering inputs and the position of the selector lever to make the powertrain and suspension characteristics sportier or more comfort-oriented. The map data supplied by the optional Navigation system Professional is also used to prepare the car for an upcoming junction or bend.

Variable sport steering: More direct, precise and agile The Electric Power Steering of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan comes standard with Servotronic speed-sensitive power assistance. Variable sport steering is part of the M Sport suspension and Adaptive M Sport suspension. With its variable ratio, which adjusts to changes in the steering angle, it is as adept at keeping the new BMW 3 Series Sedan effortlessly in a straight line as at maximizing cornering agility or turning and maneuvering comfort. In its latest form, the variable sport steering is more direct in its responses, even when only a slight steering input is applied. Cornering is precise and responsive, while the wheel angles required for parking maneuvers are achieved with less steering wheel input required.

M Sport brakes: High-performance lightweight brakes play a very important part in the sporty handling characteristics of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. The model-specific brake discs consist of a grey cast iron friction ring with an aluminum brake disc chamber to offer high performance combined with reduced weight. The M Sport brakes provide excellent braking performance and intuitive feel, whether negotiating city streets or driving around a circuit on a track day. Combining an extremely sporty set-up – with short pedal travel and a distinct pressure point – with outstanding thermal resistance, they provide lasting and effective stopping power. The M Sport brakes achieve this with a more direct ratio as well as a different hydraulic configuration including four piston fixed calipers at the front and single-piston floating calipers at the rear. All the brake calipers are painted blue and display the M logo.

The functions provided by the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system include not only anti-lock braking (ABS) and Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), but also a variety of stabilizing functions and the Start-Off Assistant. The standard Performance Control heightens the agility of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan by distributing the power to the rear wheels as the situation allows. In order to optimize directional stability during heavy braking on surfaces with differing levels of grip for the right-hand and left-hand wheels, a steering impulse is applied to help the driver correct the car’s line. The functioning of the electromechanical parking brake is integrated into the rear brake calipers by means of the DSC system.

M Sport differential optimizes traction, agility, stability and cornering dynamics. The M Sport differential for the rear axle is available as an option for the BMW 330i in combination with M Sport suspension or Adaptive M suspension. The electronically controlled, fully variable locking function in the rear differential helps to appreciably enhance traction and cornering. The active differential lock also has a positive effect on directional stability and agility.

Using the DSC system to precisely limit rotational speed equalization between the inside and outside rear wheel when cornering optimizes the transfer of power to the road in all driving situations. The locking effect produced by an electric motor allows as much as 1,106 lb-ft of torque to be redirected from the faster-turning wheel to the slower-turning one. This means that, during rapid cornering, for example, any tendency to understeer can be countered effectively. Here, the engine’s power, which cannot be transferred to the road by the unloaded wheel on the inside of a turn, is deliberately shifted to the wheel on the outside of the turn rather than applying the brakes to neutralize its effect. This draws the car into the bend allows and allows the new BMW 3 Series Sedan to accelerate out of the bend with grip and speed.

The effect of the M Sport differential will be equally noticeable in a series of fast bends. The distribution of power to each individual wheel prevents the tendency to oversteer in situations involving multiple changes of direction and load. Here, the transfer of more power to whichever wheel is on the inside of the bend enables the driver to stick to the chosen course with increased stability and confidence. Similarly, when the driver changes lanes and brakes at the same time, directional stability is optimized through the transfer of power between the right and left-hand rear wheels.

Exterior design: an expression of sporting prowess. The exterior design of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan uses a combination of precisely drawn lines and strikingly contoured surfaces to create a modern interpretation of the sporting aesthetic. Its new design language provides a clear showcase for the athletic character of the car. The new 3 Series Sedan is 2.9 inches longer than its predecessor, 0.6 inches wider and 0.5 inches taller. These dimensions lend the latest-generation model dynamically stretched proportions and a muscular stature. The car’s 1.6 inch longer wheelbase and increased track widths of +1.7 inches front and +0.8 inches rear, meanwhile, have a direct and positive influence on its poise and agility.

In keeping with the sporting theme, the front end of the BMW 3 Series Sedan cuts a wide, low-slung and aggressive figure. The large BMW kidney grill elements are framed by a single surround and split up by wide bars that link to the headlight units. A technically sophisticated and visually smaller interpretation of the customary BMW twin headlights gives them a road-focused stare. Their familiar two-way split is emphasized by an eye-catching notch in the front bumper that rises up into the headlight contour. Full-LED headlights come as standard, while LED headlights with extended features and U-shaped daytime driving lights are available as an option. The optional Adaptive LED headlights with BMW Laserlight stand apart with their hexagonal daytime driving light rings and blue, L-shaped elements in the inner and outer light sources.

The hood is shaped by four contour lines flowing towards the BMW kidney grill. At its leading edge, it sits flush with the upper edge of the headlights and kidney grill. Below it, the front bumper has large surfacing and a modern look. Both the optional front fog lamps and the Air Curtains are integrated into the outer air intakes, which are inserted into the front bumper in a horizontal T shape on Sport Line and Luxury Line models. This design was originally developed by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) for the intake air in jet engines and later became a feature on racing cars.

The car’s hood, long wheelbase, short overhangs and elegantly flowing roofline accentuate its sporting profile when viewed from the side. A pair of character lines, which rise up to the rear of the car at door-handle level, strengthen the visual impact made by the forward-surging body. A contour line near the side skirts guides the eye to the sculpted rear wheel arches.

Another feature treated to a striking new look is the Hofmeister kink – the familiar counter-swing at the trailing edge of the side window graphic. A BMW hallmark, this element of the window frame is now integrated into the C-pillar, giving the rear doors a “freestanding” glass edge. The new design language majors on clear forms and precise lines, and this approach is also visible in the transition of the flanks into the car’s rear end. Surface contours flow stylistically into the rear bumper from the side skirts and extend in an upwards movement via the rear lights up to the spoiler lip on the trunk lid. Horizontal lines and the slim, stylishly darkened light units housing L-shaped LED taillights give the rear a wide and athletic stance. The T-shaped trim elements in the outer edges of the rear bumper – which also include a light function in the form of reflectors – mimic the design of the front air intakes on cars with standard specification and on Sport Line and Luxury Line models. The exhaust system’s 80 or 90-millimeter (depending on the model variant) twin tailpipes play a role in the car’s arrestingly sporty appearance.

From launch, customers can choose from two non-metallic colors and ten metallic shades for the exterior of their new BMW 3 Series Sedan, including the new Portimao Blue metallic and Vermont Bronze metallic.

Interior: a classy route to sporting flair. The brand’s new design language brings a clear arrangement of surfaces to the interior of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. This accentuates the increased spaciousness of the cabin and, together with the cockpit’s focus on the driver, enhances their focus on the road ahead. The instrument panel has a modern, light look, and its horizontal lines, high-quality electroplated trim strips and contours extending into the doors lend themselves to a feeling of width and elegance. The coordinated design of the door trim, instrument panel and center console create an all-round feeling of space and a sporting aura. With their dynamic lines and clasp-style door openers, the front and rear door trim panels create a neatly coherent impression. The newly designed instrument cluster and Control Display form a large surfaced screen grouping, while the controls not included in these units are clustered into clearly structured function panels. In the center of the instrument panel, the displays and buttons for the air conditioning and the central air vents form a sharply designed unit, while the light functions are operated from a panel of buttons next to the steering wheel. The start/stop button for the engine is now positioned in a classy control panel in the center console, where the gearshift lever or newly designed selector lever is joined by the iDrive Controller and the buttons for the Driving Experience Control switch unit and electromechanical parking brake.

The range of standard and optional interior trim elements available for the instrument panel and center console has been almost fully replaced. As well as elegant open-pore fine wood options, customers can choose from finishes including Aluminum Mesh Effect.

Distinctive style: Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport The equipment lines offered as an alternative to standard Sport Line specification for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan enable further individualization of the car’s appearance. Carefully coordinated design and equipment features for the exterior and interior allow the Sport Line model, Luxury Line model and M Sport model to focus more intently on either the dynamic driving experience or luxurious elegance of the four-door car. As well as a line-specific front- and rear bumper design, they also come with exclusive light-alloy wheels in 18-inch formats, bespoke door sill strips and LED front fog lamps.

The standard Sport Line model interior, includes trim strips in high-gloss black and sports seats for the driver and front passenger. The Luxury Line uses chrome applications for the BMW kidney grille, front air intakes and rear apron to bring out the car’s elegant side even more prominently. Vernasca leather trim, Sensatec instrument panel and door trim, and fine wood interior trim strips in high-gloss Ash grey brown enhance the interior’s premium ambience.

The M Sport model variant of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan is all about the complementing the car’s handling and appearance. The Line’s standard M Sport Suspension or optional Adaptive M Suspensions are enhanced by Variable Sport steering. This variant features larger air intakes in the front end and an equally distinctive design for the side skirts and rear bumper. These elements are joined by BMW Individual high-gloss Shadow Line trim, kidney grille bars in High-gloss Black, air intake trim in High-gloss Black and a rear diffuser in Dark Shadow. The design of the interior is also focused one-hundred per cent on the car’s sporty driving experience, thanks – among other things – to sports seats with M-specific upholstery, an M leather steering wheel, an anthracite-colored BMW Individual headliner and interior trim strips in Aluminum Tetragon.

Interior and equipment: Refined premium ambiance and innovative options. The cabin of the new 2019 BMW 3 Series Sedan was designed to offer a modern space with a focus on driving enjoyment. The driver, the front passenger and those travelling in the three rear seats will appreciate the extra space over the predecessor model, not just on long distance journeys but in everyday driving too. Higher quality materials, precise build quality and numerous meticulously crafted details set the tone for the refined premium character of the four-door sedan.

The standard sports seats provide very good lateral support and have an even greater range of adjustment. The new Vernasca leather upholstery available as an option has an exceptionally high quality feel. It comes in a choice of five colors and includes special decorative quilting and seam patterns, which vary according to the equipment line.

Shoulder room in the front of the cabin has increased while passengers in the rear benefit from more legroom, and all occupants now enjoy more headroom than in the new BMW 3 Series Sedan’s predecessor. Seating comfort in the rear has been improved significantly, and long journeys are now a more comfortable experience for the passenger in the middle of the three rear seats.

Getting in and out of the car is now easier for the rear passengers in the new car, as the modified roof edge and side skirt contouring has increased the height of the door aperture, while the distance between the front and rear seats has been extended by 0.4 inches. The rear compartment can accommodate a row of three child seats, two of which can be locked into place using ISOFIX anchor points. This is now an easier process, as the bars in question are positioned further to either side.

Optimized all-round visibility, glass roof with far larger surface area. The slender A-pillar trim, the new location of the Control Display and the rearview mirror’s ultra-slim frame all serve to optimize the view through the windscreen at the same time as adding to the interior’s more spacious feel. The view to the rear has also been significantly improved. Customers opting for the glass roof, will be greeted by a larger glass area that can be better enjoyed by rear seat passengers.

The new BMW 3 Series Sedan’s trunk capacity has been increased from 15.8 to 17.0 cubic feet, and its new partitioning into primary luggage compartment and separate storage compartments has created an additional 1.3 cubic feet of space. The optional Storage package adds features such as extra storage areas, partition nets on both sides of the trunk, bag hooks, and a 12V socket. The standard 40:20:40 split-folding rear backrest makes it easy to transport particularly large and bulky items. If the Comfort Access option is specified, the car will automatically unlock when the keyfob is detected in its immediate vicinity and lock again when it moves out of range. This feature’s functionality includes hands-free opening and closing of the trunk lid. A new movement sensor in the key permanently monitors whether the key is being carried (and therefore is always transmitting) or has been put down on a table, for example, allowing it to switch into standby mode with the transmit function deactivated.

Ambient lighting: an atmospheric interior mood The standard lighting for the cabin of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan is composed entirely of LEDs. This includes the reading and interior lights in the front and rear, as well as the lighting for the glove compartment, the storage compartment under the center armrest, the footwells, the mirrors in the sun visors and the boot, plus the courtesy lights in the doors. The optional ambient lighting results in atmospherically rich illumination of the cabin, which can also be adjusted as desired. The additional indirect lighting of the contour lines running along the instrument panel and the door paneling uses precisely positioned LED fiber-optic light guides to create a dynamic, exclusive mood. A total of six light colors and eleven combinations of brightness, light distribution and color scheme for all light sources in the interior can be selected from the iDrive menu. In addition, the Dynamic interior light function emits pulsating light signals in specific situations. These signals appear on the inner trim of an open door when the engine is running and on the instrument panel in response to an incoming phone call. Another of the optional ambient lighting’s functions is the Welcome Light Carpet, which illuminates the approach to the doors when they are unlocked using the central locking or a door is opened.

Adaptive LED headlights with BMW Laserlight. In standard specification, the task of illuminating the road ahead falls to full-LED headlights that use LED units not just for low beam and high beam, but also for the daytime driving lights and direction indicators. The optional LED headlights with extended features include a dynamic cornering light function, and employ U-shaped LED units in the inner and outer headlights as daytime driving lights. Automatic High Beams are available as an additional option in conjunction with both headlight variants. The LED fog lamps (also optionally available) are horizontal in form and integrated into the outer air intakes.

For even better visibility when driving at night, customers can opt for the Adaptive LED headlights with BMW Laserlight, which offer variable illumination of the road ahead and a non-dazzling high beam. Blue, L-shaped accents inside the signature twin headlights reveal the presence of this highly sophisticated lighting technology. Innovative technology is employed for cleaning the windshield too. The wiper arms with integral spray nozzles specially developed for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan allow the washer fluid to be distributed in a very even manner, ensuring it does not impair the view through the windscreen at whatever speed the car is travelling. Optimized acoustics: climate control, A-pillars, windscreen and doors

The new BMW 3 Series Sedan comes standard with a rain sensor, automatic headlights, a hands-free phone system and three-zone automatic climate control with independent control of the temperature and ventilation settings for the driver, front passenger and rear passengers. The acoustic properties of both systems have been improved. The air ducts and outlets have been redesigned and pressure losses reduced, leading to a perceptible decrease in flow noise when the ventilation, heating or air conditioning are operating.

Body improvements to divert wind noise further boost acoustic comfort, while the structural foam used to fill the A-pillars lessens the amount of wind noise that reaches the interior. Acoustic glass for the windscreen is part of standard specification for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. This type of glass is available as an option for the side door windows.

Audio and sound The BMW Live Cockpit infotainment system with the standard hi-fi audio features ten speakers and an amplifier with 205 watts of output. Those looking to bring the ultimate in audio quality to the new BMW 3 Series Sedan, can select the optional Harman Kardon surround sound system, which upgrades the system to 16 speakers and a digital seven-channel amplifier generating output of 464 watts.

Driver Assistance Systems The new BMW 3 Series Sedan takes the exciting driving experience to new heights. But it also assumes a pioneering role when it comes to assistance systems designed to ease the driver’s workload in monotonous driving conditions – such as traffic jams – and lends a helping hand in awkward maneuvering situations. The new model generation offers a far wider choice of standard and optionally available systems which enhance specific aspects of comfort and safety. This array of advanced driver assistance systems takes the new BMW 3 Series Sedan further along the road to automated driving than any of its rivals.

Camera images and the data gathered by radar and ultrasonic sensors are used to monitor the vehicle’s surrounding area and either alert the driver to hazards or minimize the risk of an accident by means of corrective braking and steering. The optional Active Cruise Control with Stop and Go braking function helps to make life easier on long-distance journeys by automatically accelerating or slowing down the car to maintain the desired speed set by the driver. The set speed can be imported directly from the optional traffic sign recognition system’s display. The Active Cruise Control system with Stop & Go function goes even further to help the driver by not just maintaining the chosen cruising speed but also keeping a safe distance from vehicles travelling ahead. The system is operational in a speed range from 0 – 130 mph and is able to brake the vehicle to a standstill, if necessary. The maximum length of time that can pass before the car starts off again automatically has been extended to 30 seconds. In order to determine the ideal moment to pull away, the system’s sensors now register not only the vehicle immediately ahead, but the one in front of that as well.

The new BMW 3 Series Sedan comes standard with the Active Guard Collision and Pedestrian Warning with City Braking function, the latest version of which also alerts the driver when a cyclist is detected. Depending on the situation, the system can bring the vehicle to a halt to either avoid a collision or minimize its consequences. The optional Driving Assistant includes Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Detection systems, which operate from 44 – 130 mph and from 12 mph to the car’s top speed respectively, and help the driver to guide the car back onto the correct path with a steering input. The Driving Assistant’s remaining functions also include Rear Collision Protection and Cross-Traffic Alert, thereby reducing the risk of a collision when reversing into roads that are obstructed from the driver’s view. To help it keep an eye on what’s happening behind the car, Cross-Traffic Alert is able to employ both the radar sensors in the rear apron and the rear view camera.

Driving Assistant Professional: the ultimate in comfort and safety The optional Driving Assistant Professional offers the full complement of assistance systems for comfortable and safe motoring. Underpinning it all is a trifocal camera co-developed with Mobileye, working in conjunction with a front facing radar. This complete package makes its systems available in an exceptionally wide range of situations. In addition to all the components of the Driving Assistant and the Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, it also includes the Steering and Lane Keeping Assistant, which takes its cues from road markings and vehicles driving ahead and works together with the driver to help keep the vehicle in the detected lane. A dedicated button on the steering wheel’s left-hand spoke ensures the systems are easy to operate. Pushing it once activates both the Active Cruise Control and the Steering and Lane Keeping Assistant.

The Driving Assistant Professional also features the Lane Keeping Assistant with active side collision avoidance. As well as emitting visual warning signals and causing the steering wheel to vibrate, active side collision avoidance also uses a steering input to help avoid collisions. Rounding off the Driving Assistant Professional’s extensive list of functions are the evasion assistance, which now also reacts to pedestrians and Cross-Traffic Alert.

The Extended Traffic Jam Assistant is designed to help the driver during the most tedious driving environment, stop and go traffic. Designed to operate on limited access highways at speeds up to 37 mph, this system integrates Lane Keeping Assistant, Active Cruise Control with Stop and Go and a driver attention monitoring camera that removes the need to touch the steering wheel every 30-50 seconds if the driver’s attention is clearly on the road ahead.

BMW Head-Up Display: Larger projection area and optimized graphics The optional BMW Head-Up Display helps the driver to enjoy focused and extremely safe driving in the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. It projects driving-related information directly into the driver’s field of vision on the windshield, where it can be assimilated without the need to divert their eyes from the road. The latest generation of the system boasts a projection area 70 per cent larger than in the outgoing BMW 3 Series Sedan, plus enhanced graphics and additional display readings. The information projected by the BMW Head-Up Display includes the car’s speed, speed limits and overtaking restrictions, Check Control messages, status indicators and warnings from the assistance systems, detailed route guidance and turn instructions, and telephone and entertainment lists.

Another feature activated in conjunction with the BMW Head-Up Display is distance warning, which is part of the Active Cruise Control system’s set of functions and flashes up a graphic icon to alert the driver when they get closer to the vehicle in front than the pre-set minimum distance.

Parking Assistance Package Plus with Back-Up Assistant: maneuvering with ease Drivers of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan are also able to rely on the comprehensive support of innovative assistance systems when parking and maneuvering. The optional Park Distance Control (PDC) with sensors at both the front and rear provides visual and acoustic signals to prevent collisions with obstacles located to the side or rear of the vehicle. The optional Parking Assistance Package goes further with Automatic Parking, which automatically selects either parallel or perpendicular spaces along to the road, and maneuvering into them. The latest version of the system takes care of steering the car, accelerating, braking and automatic transmission shifting. What’s more, Automatic Parking can now also be used to automatically maneuver out of parallel parking spaces. Here, the driver first specifies the direction in which the parking space is to be exited by switching on the turn signal for the appropriate side. The system then guides the vehicle – using reversing and steering inputs – into a position from which the driver can leave the parking space with the steering turned to the same angle.

Another of the Parking Assistant’s features is the innovative Back-Up Assistant, which helps the driver to exit parking spots or maneuver when space is limited. This system is the only one of its kind in the new BMW 3 Series Sedan’s segment. Back-Up Assistant offers the highly convenient option of automated reversing in confined spaces or situations where the driver does not have a clear view, such as narrow parking garages or entrances to courtyards. To do this, the system stores the steering movements for any section the car has just driven forward along at no more than 22 mph. The system is then able to reverse the vehicle for distances of up to 50 yards by steering it along exactly the same line it has just taken when moving forward, while all the driver has to do is operate the accelerator and brake pedals and monitor the area around the car. The Back-Up Assistant can back the car up at a maximum 5.5 mph.

The rear view camera and the functions included with the optional Parking Assistant Package provide drivers with an excellent overview of the situation when parking or exiting parking spaces. The Park View, Panorama View and Remote 3D Top View features are used to create a 360° image of the vehicle and its surroundings – from different perspectives – in the Control Display. Meanwhile, the Remote 3D View function gives drivers the ability to call up a three-dimensional live image of their vehicle and its immediate vicinity on their smartphone.

Displays and iDrive: Premier for the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant Making its debut in the new BMW 3 Series Sedan is the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, an intelligent, digital character that responds to the prompt “Hey BMW”. The BMW Group is set to revolutionize driving pleasure with the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant and, in so doing, enter a new era in which drivers will increasingly be able to operate their car and access its functions and information simply by speaking. The range of functions and skills available will be constantly expanded as part of regular updates.

BMWs acquire a digital personality The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant learns routines and habits, and is subsequently able to apply them in the appropriate context. He helps the driver, learns their preferences and is familiar with their favored settings – e.g. for the seat heating or the places they drive to frequently using the navigation system (“Take me home”). It is familiar with the vehicle’s functions and is able to operate them as required. Saying “Hey BMW, I’m cold” will prompt the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant to adjust the temperature inside the car accordingly. The assistant will benefit from technical upgrades and be able to learn more and more preferences and favored settings. The assistant takes further strides forward with every command given, every question asked and every setting selected.

A constant on-board companion: the digital BMW expert The arrival of the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant ensures there is always a genuine BMW professional on board. He is able to explain all sorts of different functions (“How does the High Beam Assistant work?”), provide current status information (“Is the oil level okay?”) and help answer questions (“What warning messages do I have?”). He knows the driver’s favorite settings, and can even activate a combination of them to enhance well-being. For instance, “Hey BMW, I feel tired” triggers a vitality program that adjusts the lighting mood, music and temperature, among other things, in order to make the driver feel more awake.

The perfect driver assistant The Intelligent Personal Assistant is, in short, the ideal co-driver and comes in particularly useful during everyday driving (“Hey BMW, what is the closest gas station on my route”). To make navigation particularly easy, drivers can give him access to their calendar and contacts, which will enable him to find parking spaces at the destination, provide information on traffic jams along the route and remind the driver when they need to set off. It also learns destinations the customer drives to frequently.

BMW Digital Key: turning the smartphone into a car key The BMW Digital Key employs Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to allow the new BMW 3 Series Sedan to be locked and unlocked from a compatible smartphone, removing the need for a conventional car key. Holding the smartphone up to the door handle opens the car. Once inside, the engine can be started as soon as the phone has been placed in the wireless charging or smartphone tray. Accessible via the BMW Connected app, the Digital Key offers unrivalled flexibility. The BMW Digital Key is compatible for all NFC-capable Samsung Galaxy smartphones running Android 8.0 and above. Compatibility is limited to select carriers.

Connected Navigation with new digital services “Connected Navigation” encompasses a number of digital services that are designed to turn seamless and contextual route planning both inside and outside the BMW into a more sophisticated experience. Drivers of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan will be able to send destinations from various apps straight to their car’s navigation system. The most important destinations will be stored in BMW Connected and synchronized with the car, so that the key addresses can be accessed from any device at any time. One particularly helpful new feature is the Parking Finder, which proposes various parking options to the driver before the destination is reached. This service includes providing information on parking garages as well as on street parking spaces with a particularly good chance of being available near the destination. The existing On-Street Parking Information and ParkNow services have been intelligently incorporated into the new assistant’s scope of functions.

BMW iDrive display and control: The right information at the right time The newly designed instrument cluster/Control Display screen grouping and extended functionality take intuitive operation to the next level in the new BMW 3 Series Sedan, while helping drivers to concentrate even more effectively on the road ahead. The standard BMW Live Cockpit features iDrive 6.0 with an 8.8-inch digital touchscreen Control Display and a 5.7-inch digital instrument color display.

The optional BMW Live Cockpit Professional upgrades the interface with a 12.3-inch high-resolution digital instrument cluster display and a 10.25-inch digital touch screen Control Display featuring the all-new iDrive 7.0 Operating System. This equipment package also features the Connected Navigation system, a hard drive-based multimedia system with 20 GB of memory, Touch Controller, one USB-A and one USB-C port for data transfer, Apple CarPlay and WiFi interface.

BMW Live Cockpit Professional also brings enhanced BMW iDrive 7.0 benefits to the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. The latest generation of BMW iDrive boasts fully digital displays and is geared even more closely to the driver’s personal needs – with the aim of maximizing their attention levels. The system’s clear presentation and structuring are designed to provide drivers with the right information at the right time, aided further by the customizable and personalized displays. The redesigned information display in the middle of the instrument cluster now leaves enough room for an excerpt from the navigation map, for instance. In the main menu on the Control Display, the driver is able to configure up to ten pages, each showing two to four pads (tiles) with live content.

The intuitive multimodal interaction between driver and vehicle has undergone further improvement. The Control Display graphics adapt depending on the operating method, the voice control system (based on natural language understanding) is better than ever before and the optional BMW gesture control now works with two extra gestures, bringing the total to seven. Depending on the situation, the driver can operate the various functions using the familiar iDrive Controller, the steering wheel controls, touch control, voice control or gesture control.

Le 6 regole auree per il corretto acquisto di una vettura usata

<<Scopo del mio brand new blog stefanorossiautomotiveinternational.blogspot.com è mostrare, settimana dopo settimana ed offerte commerciali alla mano, il value for money incarnato dal mercato delle auto di seconda mano. Personalmente ho sempre creduto nell'usato: esso – purché si osservino le 6 regole che ho elaborato - può riservare gradevoli sorprese. E dico ciò a ragion veduta: nel 2011, quando lavoravo presso la SCA (Mercedes), ho venduto a mia sorella una BMW 116d del 2010 con 25.000 km. Quest’auto è tuttora in possesso di mia sorella ed ha raggiunto la ragguardevole soglia dei 300.000 km in ottime condizioni generali – come io stesso ho avuto modo di verificare in un percorso di 1.200 km. Gradevoli sorprese, per l’appunto. Appassionato d’auto sin da quando ero bambino, come venditore ho trattato sia M1 nuove ed usate di svariati Marchi, sia N1 Opel e Fiat Professional. Ora, da ex venditore, ho deciso di aprire questo blog per curiosare nel settore che più mi ha appassionato dal punto di vista professionale – ovvero il mercato delle auto di seconda mano. E trovo perciò di grande utilità riportare qui a seguire quelle che ritengo essere le 6 regole auree per il corretto acquisto di un’auto usata. (1) Optare per un prodotto di qualità: ovvero, scegliere un modello appartenente a Marchi dall’elevato indice di affidabilità, in grado di macinare centinaia di migliaia di chilometri senza creare grossi problemi; beninteso, l’auto perfetta, l’auto che non si rompe mai, non esiste – però esistono Marchi che producono vetture dall’elevata qualità costruttiva. Per prodotto di qualità intendo per l’appunto una vettura appartenente a quella tipologia di Marchi. (2) Acquistare con cognizione di causa e non alla cieca: ovvero, optare per Concessionari in grado di effettuare la certificazione del chilometraggio, mostrare lo storico tagliandi e dare la garanzia. (3) Manutentare regolarmente l’usato acquistato: ovvero, effettuare i tagliandi previsti dal Costruttore alle scadenze previste. (4) Utilizzare con la dovuta cura: anche le migliori auto, se bistrattate da guidatori maldestri, nel lungo periodo creano problemi. (5) Effettuare, prima dell’acquisto, una mappatura delle proprie, reali, esigenze di mobilità: vivo in una metropoli come Milano e Roma, in una città di media grandezza, o in provincia? Quanti chilometri percorro in un anno? E quanti di questi in città, su percorsi extraurbani ed in autostrada? Ho una sola auto a disposizione o due? Bisogna rispondere a siffatte domande per poter poi procedere con la scelta della giusta motorizzazione: benzina, diesel, mild-hybrid, full-hybrid, plug-in o elettrica? (6) Stabilire, prima dell’acquisto, a quale categoria di potenziale cliente dell’usato si appartiene: quella del “compro, tengo due o tre anni e poi rivendo?” o quella del “compro, tengo il più a lungo possibile e poi rottamo?”. I relativi parametri d’acquisto – come, ad esempio, data di prima immatricolazione e Marca – sono infatti molto diversi. Supponiamo che io abbia a disposizione 28.000,00 euro e che presso il mio Concessionario di fiducia trovi, a quella cifra, tanto (i) una VW Golf ottava serie 2.0 tdi 150cv Style Dsg del 2021 con 50.000 km quanto (ii) una Skoda Superb Wagon Scout terza serie (o serie uscente) 2.0 tdi 184cv 4X4 Dsg del 2019 con 85.000 km. Se io appartengo alla categoria del “compra, tieni il più a lungo possibile e poi rottama” – allora posso benissimo prendermi il lusso di valutare le due ottime alternative e magari alla fine decidere per una più spaziosa, confortevole e lussuosa Skoda. Ma se io al contrario appartengo alla categoria del “compra, tieni due o tre anni al massimo e poi rivendi” – allora è molto meglio optare per la Golf ottava serie: i relativi parametri (ovvero, tipologia di modello dall’elevato indice di rivendibilità, motorizzazione, cambio, allestimento, data di prima immatricolazione e chilometraggio) rendono infatti quella vettura perfetta per un acquisto con la prospettiva della rivendita dopo due o tre anni>> Stefano Rossi – Blog’s Author.

Britain’s most and least reliable cars revealed

- Six models achieve a perfect 100% reliability rating in the annual What Car? Reliability Survey of more than 16,000 drivers - Lexus rated most reliable brand, followed by Dacia and Suzuki  - Fiat named least reliable brand by What Car? readers, with Land Rover also struggling - Hybrids and Small SUVs rated most reliable types of car, while Luxury SUVs suffer highest number of faults - Of the 16,328 drivers surveyed, 20% experienced a fault with their car in the past 12 months - To see all of the 2021 What Car? Reliability Survey results, visit: www.whatcar.com/news/2021-what-car-reliability-survey/n23397

The UK’s most and least reliable new and used cars have been revealed in the 2021 What Car?

Reliability Survey from Britain’s leading new car buying platform and consumer champion. Feedback from more than 16,000 car owners was analysed to find the country’s most dependable 178 models and 30 brands, from nearly new cars to those aged up to five years old.  This year, a record six models achieved a score of 100%: the current versions of the Audi TT, Mazda CX-3, Mini Convertible and Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, and the previous-generation Dacia Sandero and Honda HR-V.  At brand level, Lexus and Dacia models were hailed as the most dependable for new and used buyers, while Fiat and Land Rover achieved the lowest scores.   Lexus gained an overall rating of 98.7% and none of its vehicles scored lower than 98.4%. Budget brand Dacia also impressed with a 97.3% overall rating, demonstrating that you don’t have to break the bank to buy a dependable model. In contrast, Fiat had the least reliable cars, gaining an 82.0% rating from owners, while Land Rover and Ford were second and third worst for reliability. Hybrids were rated as the most durable type of car, with an average class reliability score of 96.9%. The best performing hybrid was the Lexus NX (2014 – present), which managed a 99.8% score, while hybrid variants of the BMW X5 (2018 – present) were rated least reliable, with 89.7%. Luxury SUVs performed the worst in the study, achieving an average class rating of 88.8%, although the Porsche Macan (2014 – present) bucked the trend, managing a creditable 97.9%. The Land Rover Discovery (2017 – present) received the lowest score in this class with a 72.1% result. Owners were asked whether their car had gone wrong in the past 12 months, how long repairs took and how much they cost, with the overall score expressed as a percentage.  Of the 16,328 drivers surveyed, 20% had experienced a fault with their car in the past year, with 85% of faults repaired free of charge. For 7% of drivers, the repairs cost between £101 and £500, while 2% had to pay more than £1500 to get their car back on the road. A third of cars remained driveable and were fixed within a day, while 25% could be driven but took more than a week to repair.  What Car? editor Steve Huntingford said: “The UK’s used car market is currently booming, making it all the more important that people know which models will be reliable. With feedback from more than 16,000 owners, the latest What Car? Reliability Survey highlights the brands and models with the best and worst records.    “Our latest study also shows that a high price tag isn’t always a guarantee of reliability, because some of Britain’s cheapest cars are among the most reliable.”  Top 10 most reliable brands (cars up to five years old)  Brand Reliability Rating Lexus98.7%Dacia97.3%Suzuki97.1%Hyundai97.1%Toyota97.0%Mini97.0%Mitsubishi96.9%Mazda95.9%Kia95.8%MG95.7% Bottom 10 most reliable brands (cars up to five years old)  Brand Reliability Rating Fiat82.0%Land Rover82.5%Ford86.2%Nissan86.2%Alfa Romeo86.5%Porsche89.4%Mercedes-Benz89.6%Vauxhall89.6%Peugeot89.6%Jaguar90.1% Reliability results by vehicle classes (cars up to five years old)  Hybrid cars – 96.9% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableLexus NX (2014 – present) – 99.8%BMW X5 (2018 – present) – 89.7%  Small SUVs – 95.2% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableHonda HR-V (2015 – 2020) – 100%    Mazda CX-3 (2016 – 2019) – 100% Peugeot 2008 (2013 – 2019) – 81.8%  MPVs – 93.7% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableBMW 2 Series Active Tourer (2014 – present) – 98.8% Volkswagen Touran (2015 – present) – 74.1%  Family SUVs – 93.6% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableMitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2017 – present) – 100% Range Rover Evoque (2011 – 2019) – 77.1%  Large SUVs – 93.6% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableBMW X3 petrol (2018 – present) – 97.7% Nissan X-Trail (2014 – present) – 59.7%  Family cars – 93.0% class reliability ratingMost ReliableLeast ReliableBMW 1 Series petrol (2011 – 2019) – 98.7% Mercedes-Benz A-Class (2018 – present) – 84.8%  Electric cars – 92.9% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableNissan Leaf (2011 – 2018) – 98.6% Jaguar I-Pace (2018 – present) – 86.3%  Coupes, convertibles and sports cars – 92.8% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableAudi TT (2014 – present) – 100%    Mini Convertible (2016 – present) – 100% Porsche 718 Cayman (2015 – present) – 73.5%  Executive cars – 92.8% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableSkoda Superb petrol (2015 – present) – 99.2% Mercedes-Benz C-Class diesel (2014 – present) – 80.9%  Small cars – 91.9% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableDacia Sandero (2013 – 2020) – 100% Ford Fiesta (2017 – present) – 74.9%  Luxury cars – 90.4% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableBMW 5 Series petrol (2017 – present) – 96.9% Audi A6 (2011 – 2018) – 82.1% Luxury SUVs – 88.8% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliablePorsche Macan petrol (2014 – present) – 97.9% Land Rover Discovery (2017 – present) – 72.1%  Read the full article

Le 6 regole auree per il corretto acquisto di un'auto usata - il manifesto del mio blog

<<Scopo del mio brand new blog stefanorossiautomotiveinternational.blogspot.com è mostrare, settimana dopo settimana ed offerte commerciali alla mano, il value for money incarnato dal mercato delle auto di seconda mano. Personalmente ho sempre creduto nell'usato: esso – purché si osservino le 6 regole che ho elaborato - può riservare gradevoli sorprese. E dico ciò a ragion veduta: nel 2011, quando lavoravo presso la SCA (Mercedes), ho venduto a mia sorella una BMW 116d del 2010 con 25.000 km. Quest’auto è tuttora in possesso di mia sorella ed ha raggiunto la ragguardevole soglia dei 300.000 km in ottime condizioni generali – come io stesso ho avuto modo di verificare in un percorso di 1.200 km. Gradevoli sorprese, per l’appunto. Appassionato d’auto sin da quando ero bambino, come venditore ho trattato sia M1 nuove ed usate di svariati Marchi, sia N1 Opel e Fiat Professional. Ora, da ex venditore, ho deciso di aprire questo blog per curiosare nel settore che più mi ha appassionato dal punto di vista professionale – ovvero il mercato delle auto di seconda mano. E trovo perciò di grande utilità riportare qui a seguire quelle che ritengo essere le 6 regole auree per il corretto acquisto di un’auto usata. (1) Optare per un prodotto di qualità: ovvero, scegliere un modello appartenente a Marchi dall’elevato indice di affidabilità, in grado di macinare centinaia di migliaia di chilometri senza creare grossi problemi; beninteso, l’auto perfetta, l’auto che non si rompe mai, non esiste – però esistono Marchi che producono vetture dall’elevata qualità costruttiva. Per prodotto di qualità intendo per l’appunto una vettura appartenente a quella tipologia di Marchi. (2) Acquistare con cognizione di causa e non alla cieca: ovvero, optare per Concessionari in grado di effettuare la certificazione del chilometraggio, mostrare lo storico tagliandi e dare la garanzia. (3) Manutentare regolarmente l’usato acquistato: ovvero, effettuare i tagliandi previsti dal Costruttore alle scadenze previste. (4) Utilizzare con la dovuta cura: anche le migliori auto, se bistrattate da guidatori maldestri, nel lungo periodo creano problemi. (5) Effettuare, prima dell’acquisto, una mappatura delle proprie, reali, esigenze di mobilità: vivo in una metropoli come Milano e Roma, in una città di media grandezza, o in provincia? Quanti chilometri percorro in un anno? E quanti di questi in città, su percorsi extraurbani ed in autostrada? Ho una sola auto a disposizione o due? Bisogna rispondere a siffatte domande per poter poi procedere con la scelta della giusta motorizzazione: benzina, diesel, mild-hybrid, full-hybrid, plug-in o elettrica? (6) Stabilire, prima dell’acquisto, a quale categoria di potenziale cliente dell’usato si appartiene: quella del “compro, tengo due o tre anni e poi rivendo?” o quella del “compro, tengo il più a lungo possibile e poi rottamo?”. I relativi parametri d’acquisto – come, ad esempio, data di prima immatricolazione e Marca – sono infatti molto diversi. Supponiamo che io abbia a disposizione 28.000,00 euro e che presso il mio Concessionario di fiducia trovi, a quella cifra, tanto (i) una VW Golf ottava serie 2.0 tdi 150cv Style Dsg del 2021 con 50.000 km quanto (ii) una Skoda Superb Wagon Scout terza serie (o serie uscente) 2.0 tdi 184cv 4X4 Dsg del 2019 con 85.000 km. Se io appartengo alla categoria del “compra, tieni il più a lungo possibile e poi rottama” – allora posso benissimo prendermi il lusso di valutare le due ottime alternative e magari alla fine decidere per una più spaziosa, confortevole e lussuosa Skoda. Ma se io al contrario appartengo alla categoria del “compra, tieni due o tre anni al massimo e poi rivendi” – allora è molto meglio optare per la Golf ottava serie: i relativi parametri (ovvero, tipologia di modello dall’elevato indice di rivendibilità, motorizzazione, cambio, allestimento, data di prima immatricolazione e chilometraggio) rendono infatti quella vettura perfetta per un acquisto con la prospettiva della rivendita dopo due o tre anni>> Stefano Rossi – Blog’s Author.
