海潚無有怕

一早叫收手海潚無有怕
靜觀其變

BMW車款的動態表現之優秀是眾所皆知的,不需多言。新3系列最令人開心的就是iDrive多媒體控制系統的介面全部繁體中文化,不用特地去背英文,更不用忍受簡體中文,誠意十足地令人開心。


好幾個月前BMW總代理汎德已經安排過海外試駕,讓這款新車先在國內媒體上露臉,如今這款新車也終於在台灣正式上市。目前在路上跑的BMW 3系列車款其代號為E90,從2005年起就出現在世人面前,去年BMW德國原廠為3系列進行小改款,除了外型更接近家族設計之外,也使用了最新一代的iDrive多媒體控制系統。雖然整體上沒有大幅度改變,但新款的BMW 323i就是有令人興奮的魅力。

iDrive多媒體控制系統

第二代的iDrive多媒體控制系統是體驗此款323i的重點,一進入座艙就被中控台上下的8.8吋LCD螢幕所吸引,這個螢幕將接手車上大部分的資訊傳達功能,也因為如此,下方的音響與空調系統幾乎省去了LED顯示幕。第二代iDrive多媒體控制系統新增六個按鍵,可以分別直接進入CD、收音機、電話簿與地圖選單,另外還有退出及選項功能鍵,新增按鍵之後原本八向的旋鈕也改為四向。

iDrive上最具誠意的一件事,絕對是整體介面全部繁體中文化,車主們再也不用看著圖示瞎子摸象,猜測選項功能是什麼。地圖模式下,重要的地點也都有中文名稱標示,利用旋鈕以及四方向搖桿可以很容易地瀏覽地圖,如果要跳入音響系統,直接按下CD或是Radio按鍵,畫面馬上切換,省去多餘的操作過程。

小改款外型

小改款後的323i在外型上更顯有神,主要更動的細節包含水箱護罩、前保險桿、頭燈與引擎蓋等處。小改款前的腎形水箱護罩上半部位於引擎蓋之上,採用分離式的設計,小改款後的水箱護罩已經由鍍鉻外框完全包圍,且中央的直瀑隔板也改用鍍鉻色調,整體更顯洗斂。

保險桿的部分將水箱護罩延伸的折線部分處理的更明顯,霧燈位置與下氣壩部分也更改了造型,小改款後的323i在造型上更流線,一眼就能感受到性能氣息。頭燈細部的改變也是重點之一,角落的方向燈改用LED燈泡並且使用格柵狀排列,辨識度相當高,原本C形燈飾改為燈組上方的一字眉樣式,並與5系列車款一樣在角落加上三個黃色LED燈泡。

車尾的尾燈拉寬,過去的白色倒車燈已經被縮為一個細長造型,角落的方向燈理所當然的也採用LED燈泡,雖然用紅色燈罩包覆,但是亮起時仍然可明顯的辨識出黃光,此外導光條同樣運用在新車之上。

操控魅力

駕馭BMW車款絕對是一種享受,但是連日來的陰雨綿綿根本無法讓我們藉由323i來燃燒體內的辛烷值,再加上原廠只為我們安排了四個小時不到的試駕時間;眉頭皺皺,我們也只能抓緊時間感受323i的魅力。

在50:50配重的車體前方,塞著一具2.5升的直六引擎,這就是323i的動力心臟,其帳面數字為190hp最大馬力,最佳爆發時機在5900rpm,至於23.5kgm的扭力則是在3250rpm時出現,所搭配的變速箱為六速手自排,其極速則是達231km/h。在較低轉速時車室內有著靜肅性,重踩油門之後,高亢的引擎聲浪又能喚起操控的慾望,當然,底盤反應上有著BMW的調校水準,對於路面的反應雖然清楚但又不干擾駕駛,側傾也有良好的抑制,雖然動力並不算強大,但是優秀的操控感還是帶來極佳的駕駛樂趣。
