Before Ye Kai announced the retreat, he arranged all the things after that, including merging the full-time four-wheel drive R&D department into the Aodi R&D department and so on. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When these things unfolded in an orderly manner with Ye Kai's instructions, Ye Kai returned to the small courtyard arranged for him by Hans, and there were bodyguards arranged by Hans in the courtyard and outside the courtyard, and even the nanny who delivered meals every day could only be sent to the door, and then let the bodyguards send them in.

It can be seen from this that Hans attaches great importance to the drawings that are about to be born in Ye Kai's hands, which is related to the key to the future success or failure of the joint venture.

Ye Kai didn't care, looking at Hans as if he was facing a great enemy, and also looking at Hans's posture like this, there was a tendency to imprison himself, Ye Kai just felt funny in his heart, he was a martial arts master who was about to enter the power of transformation, no matter who wanted to quietly come to find trouble for himself, then it could only be regarded as his fate was bad-------- even if Hans wanted to do that!

Of course, Hans would not have such a brain-dead behavior!

Ye Kai thought as he sat down at the desk in front of the windowsill, on which there was a thick stack of white paper, a pile of beautifully sharpened pencils, and pens filled with ink.

Ye Kai took out a blank piece of paper, picked up a pencil, and began to recall what models BMW had launched in his previous life? There is no doubt that in the past life, the most common BMW cars that drove on the roads and streets of the mainland were only a few models.

Compared with the BMW 1 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series and Z Series, as for the X1, X3, X5, X6 and other X-series models of SUV models, it was after the acquisition of Land Rover, after absorbing the technology of others, it was ruthlessly sold to Ford, and the developed models can be ignored now.

The focus is on the 1 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series and Z Series, because the 7 Series model plan has long been handed over to Hans, who was locked in the safe like a baby. And BMW's 2 series, 6 series, and M series, Ye Kai doesn't want to think about it for the time being, it's too complicated, at least not suitable for now, so it seems that the car series is too confusing.

Therefore, the first thing Ye Kai wants to restore is BMW's 1 Series and 3 Series, because the aura of BMW's most successful model should be worn on the front of the 3 Series.

Because the original intention of the BMW 3 Series is to be a compact, front-engine, rear-wheel drive, and fun to drive. In the European market, where car culture is deep, such a fun car has naturally won the favor of many car fans.

Therefore, the ancestor of the BMW 3 Series can be traced back to the BMW1500 of the 60s, BMW1600, it was this small car that made the BMW brand rise.

In the past life, many people who studied the development history of BMW regarded this 1600 as a well-deserved common ancestor of the BMW 3 Series and 1 Series.

The design of the four-wheel fully independent suspension of the BMW 1600 model in the previous life was very advanced at that time, and it also brought the 1600 very excellent handling characteristics, which was a great success in the market, so the BMW 1600 allowed BMW to establish the direction of car manufacturing.

The 1973 BMW 2002 Turbo can be seen as the ancestor of the M3. It was the first mass-produced turbo car in Europe, with a lightweight body and 170 horsepower, which was enough to make most cars on the road eat dust.

The first 3 Series in the 1975s E21 was introduced, the original 3 Series with pure mechanical nature, that is, an FR layout, dexterous driving machine. The 1983 E30 pushed the 3 Series to its peak. The future 1 Series inherited many of the genes of this classic BMW.

Since then, the BMW 3 Series has almost become a benchmark model in its class, but like the development of many car series, the 3 Series, which was originally positioned as a compact sports touring car, is gradually losing itself in order to gain a larger market share and in the face of competitors. Starting from the E21, to the E30, E36, E46, and E90, almost every generation change has made the 3 Series more bloated, and the 3 Series has become more and more luxurious. The E90 is already bigger than the original 5 Series. The 3 Series deviated from the original intention of the car series, and the classics in the hearts of fans gradually drifted away.

The decline of the BMW 3 Series made Shen Qin constantly push the old and the new BMW company, and finally realized that it needed a model with a lower positioning than the 3 Series to fill the part of the market that the BMW 3 Series was gradually losing, this car must have a compact body, do not need to take care of the space in the back, and the interior does not need to be luxurious, but it must drive well. It's a purely personal car.

It is the 1 Series, a brand new series that was born in 2004. It can be said that the original design intention of the 1 Series is to return to the concept of BMW more than 20 years ago, and the 1 Series is the BMWE30 of the 21st century.

The BMW 1 series, codenamed E87 in the car factory, is just a compact car, but compared with the same level of Golf, A3, Focus and other models, the chassis materials of E87 can be described as costless, not only the only FR layout chassis in this class, but also the suspension parts use a lot of aluminum alloy components, including the connecting rod of the front suspension, sheep's horns, and the swing arm of the rear suspension.

The chassis system of the 1 Series is also used in the E903 Series, but the wheelbase is 10cm shorter than that of the 3 Series, at only 2660mm. With a 50:50 ratio of front to rear axles, the 1 Series is a pure FR. Although the positioning of the 1 Series is lower than that of the 3 Series, it maintains the same level as the 3 Series in terms of driving system, and the materials and costs are higher than those of the 1 Series competitors in the same class.

With such a great chassis and frame, you need a good engine to match. BMW certainly did just that, and the 1 Series not only has the classic straight-6 naturally aspirated N52B30, but the 258 hp engine puts the 130 in the class of small guns, and in terms of performance, it throws off the benchmark of the same class of steel guns, the Golf GTI. However, BMW was not satisfied, and implanted a more furious N543.0L twin-turbo engine into the engine compartment of the 1 Series, with more than 300 hp and 400 Nm of torque, its performance is already comparable to that of the E92M3.

Thinking clearly about the development process of the BMW 1 Series in the previous life, Ye Kai decided to finalize the appearance of the BMW 3 Series model, and then on the basis of the 3 Series, he designed a two-door compact model 1 Series, although the BMW 1 Series in the previous life also had a 4-door model, but in order to make the car series clear at a glance, Ye Kai decided that the model of the 1 Series is a two-door model!

As for the naming of the car series, it is definitely not possible to use BMW's 1 Series rules to name the car series, after all, BMW has begun to use numbers to name the car series.

So, what is the name? Ye Kai thought about it for a long time and decided to replace it with letters, since Aodi starts with A, then as his second brand, let's start with B!

As a result, the two-door compact BMW 1 Series was named the BAOMAB1 model by Ye Kai!
