They became the Qïpchaqs, who are now living under different names in Russia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

After the Mongol Invasions, they ceased to exist as a separate and independent people. Most of them became called as Tatars (because they were ruled by the Mongols who were referred as Tatars) whereas some of them later migrated eastwards, there joining the various Turko-Mongol tribes and forming the Qazaqs (Kazakh).

By my information Kimeks first created the Khaganate. The kingdom consisted from two nations Kimeks and Kipchaks. Later Kipchaks overthrew them and took the major possitions in society. By the time Mongols occupied Central Asia. Kipchaks and Kimeks were at the state of war.

I think KIMEKS mainly related to Bulgar turks dwelt around river Edel at the time, and later became crimean tatars, pechenegs, gagauz and slavizied bulgars and Kypchaks were the major branch of turkic people who became later Kyrgyz,kazak,tatar, bashkirt and karakalpakh.

I don't think the Kimeks were that mainly related with the Bulghar Turks, because they were living in the central Qazaq steppe until the Qypchaqs broke away from them in the late 10th century.
