After nearly ten years of running, the mileage has reached 300,000 kilometers. Many things are aging, the rubber sleeve for the shock absorber has broken, and the replacement of the swing arm is on the agenda.
After more than ten years of wind and rain, the swing arms of the original car were already overwhelmed and showed signs of aging and damage.
Original intention of buying a car
The 5 Series was originally chosen because it can be used for home use and commercial use, and its power and control far exceed the Mercedes-Benz E and Audi A6 of the same level.
usage status
Launched at the end of December 2012 and currently driving nearly 300,000 kilometers
exterior interior
The appearance is quite plain, right? The original car color has not been changed
The whole car is plain car.
This position of the main driver’s armrest has been repaired. It’s a common problem. I scraped some repair cream myself, bought a bottle of leather paint, and repaired it myself. The handle of the main driver is also a replacement made in the motherland. It is made of pure plastic and will not become sticky during aging.
The inner handles of all doors have been replaced and are all made in the motherland.
The seats have always been equipped with seat covers. The beige interior of the original car is too easy to dye. I like to wear jeans. When I first picked up the car, there was no seat cover. I had to clean the seats every day. After a long time, it would be easy to wash them out without cleaning them. It was an existing car at that time, so there was no choice for the interior.
customer reviews
The handling of this generation of BMW is really good. Emergency lane changes will not be delayed. The BMW engine cooperates really well with ZF’s 8AT. There will be no sudden frustration at the start, and the starting quality is really good. When accelerating rapidly, you can jump from square 8 to second gear, and the speed can directly reach five or six thousand to earn. But after all, it is a displacement of 2.0, and the throttle will still feel the engine roaring, and it will not be as calm as a large displacement.
Pure original factory brakes without any modifications, and the tires are still 225 in width. For a car close to one ton and eight, the original factory brakes can only be said to be enough. Normally, the brakes are still very linear, and there will be no such thing. Japanese cars feel sensitive in the front and weak in the back. It feels good to step on their feet.
This car is quite fuel-efficient. The comprehensive road conditions are one-third of the high speed, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.2.
This is the fuel consumption for commuting to and from work. It is only three kilometers from home to the factory.
There are advantages and disadvantages, and this car has many shortcomings. Oil leaks are common, such as leaking oil from the valve cover, leaking oil pan, leaking oil from the oil seat, leaking oil from the front oil seal, leaking oil from the rear oil seal, leaking oil from the gearbox, BMW engines have a high temperature, so some rubber parts are very easy to age and need to be replaced in time. BMW’s thermostats must also be replaced at a certain time, and air conditioning compressors often have problems.
Brand valve cover assembly.
As long as precautions are taken in advance, the engine can still be very clean and dust can be ignored.
Finally, attach the list of materials for this repair and replacement
It has been 300,000 kilometers, but there are still quite a lot of replacement parts.
