The time has arrived to the new BMW 3 Series Touring to get put through the controversial Moose test. Just like the brother, the 3 Series Condo , the Touring model had no problems in dealing with the catchy test completed by the folks from km77.com. The evaluation was created to replicate real life situations where you might need to prevent an obstacle on the fly in different speeds. The evaluation was completed from Scandinavian states where moose cause havoc and would end up on streets.
The evaluation shows the 3 Series Touring being pushed to the limit. The best run the guys got with decent results was at 78 km/h (48 miles ) and the auto showed great composure. The model analyzed came with adaptive dampers and an M Sport suspension therefore this would be the configuration for this kind of test. It came with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, which are a few. The conditions were close to ideal as possible.
In the slalom the automobile behaved just as you would expect in the 3 Series. The cones were left behind at a speed of around 77 km/h (47.8 miles ) and the automobile showed great balance and grip. The quick steering rack proved to be helpful and the automobile s digital nannies. This goes to show BMW nevertheless makes cars with amazing handling, at least when compared with anything else on the market now.
We’ve seen these tests are failed by automobiles at lower rates so far, automobiles with pedigrees behind them. The 3 Series Touring failed the moose evaluation during some runs but only at higher rates, where maintaining control turns into a real tricky job. What I would love to see though is the same auto wouldthe test was managed by ’ ve without the elastic suspension. This type of comparison would show how much of a gap the elastic dampers make in life.
