32-487: Depending on the year, the show is often accompanied by various additional exhibitions, such as a motorcycle showroom, caravanning show, or aviation showroom, as well as additional attractions such as motorcycle shows, vintage car shows, obstacle courses or custom vehicle exhibitions. Before 1992, the motor show was part of the Poznań International Fair. In 1992, the first independent International Automotive Fair

64-790: A car . In 2016, the European premiere of the current generation of the Hyundai Elantra model took place. Two years later, in 2018, the European premiere of another new car took place in Poznań, the Volkswagen Touareg . On March 3, 2020, the management board of Grupa MTP announced that the next edition of the Poznań Motor Show, originally scheduled for March 26–29, had been postponed to the later dates of June 18–21, due to

96-485: A driver's airbag, passenger airbag (from 1993 production) and side impact airbags in later models, ABS braking and stability control ("ASC +T"). The dashboard was designed to accommodate the passenger side airbag from the beginning, which limited the size of the glove compartment. Available in the Saloon and Touring, a rear seat with two integrated children's booster seats was a first for BMW. Electronic climate control

128-494: A hardpoint or changing a bushing compliance will affect two or more parameters. The benefit of the triangulated and double-triangulated arrangement is that they do not need a Panhard rod . The benefits of this are increased articulation and potential ease of installation. Multilink suspension is costly and complex. It is also difficult to tune the geometry without a full 3D computer aided design analysis. Compliance under load can have an important effect and must be checked using

160-580: The BMW M44 DOHC engine. To retain a 50/50 weight distribution (on petrol models), versions fitted with the heavier, six-cylinder engines had the battery relocated to the trunk. For the six-cylinder models, the E36 was launched with the then-new BMW M50 DOHC petrol engine. In late 1992 the M50TU versions added single-VANOS (variable valve timing), which increased torque (peak power was unchanged). In 1995,

192-612: The BMW M52 engine replaced the M50TU, resulting in the 328i model replacing the 325i and the addition of a new mid-range 323i model (powered by a 2.5 litre version of the M52). In 1992, the 3.0 L BMW S50 engine debuted in the E36 M3. In 1995, its capacity was increased to 3.2 L. Initially, the turbocharged straight-six BMW M51 engine was used in the E36 325td model. In 1993,

224-431: The 1989 BMW Z1 , and designed with rear toe-in to minimize the oversteering characteristics of the preceding generation. Unlike the other body styles, the hatchback (known as the "E36/5" or "BMW Compact") used a rear semi-trailing arm suspension based on the older E30 instead, in order to save space due to its truncated rear end. The E36 was produced with the following transmissions: Available safety equipment included

256-448: The 1999 show, the results of a competition for the new name of the motor show were announced, the winning submission being Poznań Motor Show . During the same show, the first Solaris bus was revealed. The name Poznań Motor Show was first used at the 2000 show. Several records were set at this event: over 300 car models were presented, the exhibition size amounted to 59,000 square meters, and the number of visitors exceeded 117,000. In 2001,

288-601: The 2.8/2 was replaced by the B6 3.0, following the introduction of the 3 litre S50 engine that was used in the new M3 models. Alpina models were now offered in convertible and touring form as well, rather than just in coupe and saloon models. Again in 1996, Alpina introduced the B3 3.2, following the S50 engine's upgrade to 3.2 litres. With the new 3.2 models, Alpinas were now based on the 328i and its 2.8L engine, rather than 325i models. In 1995,

320-534: The 325tds model was released, which added an intercooler to the M51. In 1994, the 318tds model was introduced, powered by the four-cylinder BMW M41 turbocharged and intercooled engine. Diesel engines were only available in saloon, touring and compact body styles. The coupe and convertible only had petrol engines. The E36 M3 was launched in 1992 and was powered by the BMW S50 and BMW S52 straight-six engines rather than

352-515: The B8 4.6 ended in late 1998. For a short time, Alpina produced the B8 4.0, making 313 horsepower and 410 Nm of torque. Only an estimated 5 models are known to exist, and they were all sold in Japan. All Alpina models featured Alpina's distinctive 20 spoke rims, as well as optional striping. Alpina models also had special aerodynamic pieces, including an Alpina-branded front lip and rear spoiler. Changes to

384-532: The B8 was released. The B8 4.6 was based on the 4 litre V8 from the E34 5-series, put in to a 328i-based shell. BMW V8s had coated bores which meant new blocks had to be cast by BMW specifically for Alpina V8s. Fitting the V8 into the engine bay required numerous adjustments to both the body and engine parts; and even then, it was still a tight fit. The B8 4.6 produced a claimed 333 horsepower and 470 Nm of torque. Production of

416-548: The E36 platform was used for the 1996-2002 Z3 roadster (model code E36/7) and coupé (model code E36/8). The North American model range consisted of the models listed below. The 318i models were powered by the BMW M42 engine until 1995, and later the BMW M44 engine which was used in the 318is model sold in other countries. In North America, the "is" suffix was applied to the coupés. The European model range had more variety than

448-578: The E36 saloons and coupés. At first, the Touring was only offered in 320i and 328i versions; in July 1995 the 318 tds Touring arrived, followed by the 318i in September. The body styles of the range are: All models are rear-wheel drive since the E36 was not produced with all-wheel drive (unlike its predecessor and successor). The E36 chassis was all new, using the "Z-axle" multilink suspension proven in

480-837: The German ADAC GT Cup driving an E36 M3. Cecotto won the Super Tourenwagen Cup for BMW in 1994 and 1998, while Winkelhock won in 1995. Steve Soper won the Japanese Touring Car Championship in 1995 with a works BMW 318i. Geoff Brabham and his younger brother David Brabham won the 1997 AMP Bathurst 1000 at the Mount Panorama Circuit in Bathurst , Australia driving a Super Touring BMW 320i for BMW Motorsport Australia . The 1998 24 Hours Nürburgring

512-632: The North American and included diesel engines and the station wagon "Touring" body styles. The European market range had more low-range models than the North American, for example, the 316i and 318i had 8-valve SOHC engines. The M3 was also more expensive and had more horsepower than the North American version. The E36 was produced in Munich , Germany; Regensburg , Germany; Rosslyn , South Africa; and Spartanburg County, South Carolina , United States. Local assembly of complete knock-down (CKD) kits

544-632: The Poznań Motor Show in April 2022 after a 2-year break. June 18–21, 2020 Cancelled BMW 3 Series (E36) The third generation of the BMW 3 Series range of compact executive cars is designated under the model code E36 , and was produced by the German automaker BMW from 1990 to 2000. The initial models were of the four-door saloon body style, followed by the coupé, convertible, wagon ("Touring"), and eventually hatchback (" Compact "). The E36

576-451: The camber changes as the wheel moves up (into jounce, or bump) and down into rebound or droop. The arms have to transmit traction and braking loads, usually accomplished via a longitudinal link. They also have to control caster . Note that brake torques also have to be reacted - either by a second longitudinal link, or by rotating the hub, which forces the lateral arms out of plane, so allowing them to react 'spin' forces, or by rigidly fixing

608-628: The deteriorating situation in connection with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic . The further spread of the pandemic later prompted the organizers to completely cancel the show for that year. The further spread of the pandemic in Poland during the spring of 2021 made it impossible to organize the next edition of the Poznań Motor Show, and in April it was announced that the motor show, originally schedule to take place between June 18–20, 2021, had been cancelled. The MTP Group later successfully reorganised

640-533: The fair was visited by approximately 100,000 people. In 2003, the last edition of the Motor Show took place before a several year hiatus. From 2006 to 2009, the Poznań Automotive Meetings were organized every May for industry representatives and visitors. The motor show returned to the trade fair calendar in 2010. During return of the fair, a competition was organised in which participants could win

672-548: The four-cylinder units used in the E30. Unlike the predecessor, it was no longer a homologation special and was not developed expressly with competition in mind. It was produced in coupé, saloon, and convertible body styles. E36-based Alpina production began in 1991 with the release of the Alpina B6 2.8/2, with an upgraded M50-derived engine. A Japanese market exclusive B6 2.8/2 wagon was produced between 1996 and 1998. In 1993,

704-470: The interior were also present in Alpina models, including new blue instrument panels, wooden trim, new seats and steering wheel. The 3 Series Compact range of three-door hatchback models was introduced in 1993, based on a shortened version of the E36 platform. The model code for the hatchback body style is "E36/5" and the model range consisted of 316i, 316g, 318ti, 323ti, and 318tds. A modified version of

736-489: The late 1960s on the Mercedes-Benz C111 and later on their W201 and W124 series. Typically each arm has a spherical joint (ball joint) or rubber bushing at each end. Consequently, they react to loads along their own length, in tension and compression, but not in bending. Some multi-links do use a trailing arm , control arm or wishbone , which has two bushings at one end. On a front suspension one of

768-410: The lateral arms is replaced by the tie-rod , which connects the rack or steering box to the wheel hub. In order to simplify understanding, it is usual to consider the function of the arms in each of three orthogonal planes: The arms have to control toe /steer and lateral compliance. This needs a pair of arms longitudinally separated. The arms have to control camber , particularly the way that

800-417: The longitudinal link to the hub. Multi-link suspension allows the auto designer the ability to incorporate both good ride and good handling in the same vehicle. In its simplest form, the multi-link suspension is orthogonal—i.e., it is possible to alter one parameter in the suspension at a time without affecting anything else. This is in direct contrast to a double wishbone suspension, where moving

832-526: The overall wedge shape, headlight covers and smaller wing mirrors. The lead designers were Pinky Lai and Boyke Boyer. The production version of the E36 was launched in October 1990, with press release in November and market launch in early 1991. The Touring (E36/3) did not go on sale until March 1995, with the Touring version of the previous generation having remained on sale until April 1994 alongside

864-506: The previous (E30) and successive (E46) generations. The E36 was named in Car and Driver magazine's 10Best list for every year it was on sale. Following the introduction of its successor, the E46 3 Series in 1998, the E36 began to be phased out and was eventually replaced in 1999. Development of the E36 began in 1981 and the exterior design was heavily influenced by aerodynamics, specifically

896-691: Was also available on the E36. In North America, cars equipped with the "Winter Package" also have heated seats and side mirrors. The four-cylinder petrol engines used in the E36 range were initially engines carried over from the previous generation 3 Series: the BMW M40 SOHC engine and the BMW M42 DOHC engine. In 1993, the M40 was replaced by the BMW M43 SOHC engine and the M42 was replaced in 1996 by

928-639: Was organized, during which the BMW E36 , Mazda 626 and Nissan Maxima were presented, among others. A year later, during the fair, the results of the Auto'93 competition organized by the national automotive weekly Motor together with the Polish Automotive Agency and Auto Głos were announced . In 1994, a press day was organized for the first time, closed to the public and intended for automotive journalists and invited industry representatives. At

960-414: Was the first 3 Series to be offered in a hatchback body style. It was also the first 3 Series to be available with a six-speed manual transmission (in the 1996 M3), a five-speed automatic transmission, and a four-cylinder diesel engine. The multi-link rear suspension was also a significant upgrade as compared to the previous generations of the 3 Series. All-wheel drive was not available for the E36, unlike

992-619: Was used for cars sold in Uruguay (until 1991), Egypt, Mexico, and Thailand. The E36 was also built as CKD kits in the Philippines starting from 1994 up until 1997, where production halted due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis . Joachim Winkelhock competed in the British Touring Car Championship with the 318i and 320i from 1993 to 1995, winning the title in 1993. In the same year, Johnny Cecotto won

1024-421: Was won by a diesel-engined car for the first time – a BMW E36 320d, aided by its diesel engine requiring fewer fuel stops than rivals. Multilink suspension A multi-link suspension is a type of independent vehicle suspension having three or more control links per wheel. These arms do not have to be of equal length, and may be angled away from their "obvious" direction. It was first introduced in
