• Imported 530i BMW pick-up
• BMW 530i Fashion Edition

It has been more than a year since my 21 imported BMW 530i picked up the car. I had long imagined that many new Bimmer in the forum would write a car pick-up article, but on the one hand, I saw that everyone wrote very well, basically the same as everyone else, and on the other hand, because of my age (post-75s), I had passed this kind of passion to write articles. Until after the Spring Festival this year, I suddenly saw a large number of posts about 21 types of BMW oil burning in the forum. I happened to be going to do a second guarantee on July 20 this year, so I decided to write an article about it. I hope it will be of some help to would-be cyclists who want to buy imported BMW 5-Series.
The bond with the BMW 5-Series is probably one day after borrowing his BMW 530 from a friend in 2012, because I used to drive a Ford Mondeo. After driving a BMW 530, I felt that driving my own car was like driving a boat. I was deeply impressed by the handling of the 530 at that time, and I have never forgotten the BMW 530 ever since, but in line with pragmatism and the idea of saving and saving, I will always drive my old Ford. When the time comes to 2019, old Ford is still old after all, and all kinds of glitches and fuel consumption are beginning to be unacceptable. buying a new car has already been put on the agenda. In fact, my friend’s BMW 530 was sold in 2017 because of all kinds of oil burning. frequent maintenance has been sold in 2017, so from then on, we began to follow BMW oil-burning posts in this forum, but almost no one mentioned this oil-burning phenomenon. And I also think that this problem should have been solved a long time ago for a well-known brand like BMW, so I chose BMW 530 or Mercedes-Benz E300 after deciding to buy a classic model. At that time, there was an incident of safeguarding the rights of female owners of Xi’an Mercedes-Benz. It was great to lose the Mercedes-Benz directly. From then on, I put the main focus on the BMW 530, and then began to go to the 4S store to see the car and test drive. Unfortunately, there was no imported 530 test driving experience in all 4S stores. At that time, the maneuverability of the domestic 530 was much worse than that of my friend’s old BMW 530, and there was a very bad test driving experience. I actually got a little carsick sitting in the back seat during the test drive (maybe it was the problem of that test drive, which is probably not a common phenomenon), so I decided to buy the imported standard shaft 530i. It happened that BMW was going to change 21 models at that time, so we waited until some riders mentioned the new model and confirmed that it was really fragrant. At that time, Guangzhou Yuebao Jinshazhou 4S store happened to do double 12 activities. In the past, the price was negotiated directly according to the naked car price discount of 7%, because during the event, the negotiation price was also quite smooth, and a bunch of things were given away (the whole car BMW special glass film, the car package). Driving recorders, bicycles, car refrigerators, suitcases, drones, etc.), the contract was signed as soon as the price was agreed, and because we knew in advance that the waiting time for imported BMWs would be longer, the delivery time was set to the end of May 21, during which the 4S store made the last configuration and confirmed the vehicle color and interior decoration with me 21 years ago, New Year’s Day. Once it is confirmed that all the configurations and colors can no longer be changed, we chose sapphire blue (outside) and cognac (inside) when signing the contract at that time, and later changed to carbon black (outside) when we finally confirmed it. Although the color of this carbon black is not pure black, but it has its unique personality, it will show a touch of blue in the strong light, maybe this is as fickle as the human mind. Import 530i has two configurations to choose from, at that time saw the fashion version of 530i configuration can basically meet the needs of my car, so there is no other configuration, as for the optional laser blue eyebrow, advanced vehicle auxiliary driving these are optional configurations, do not affect my car demand, specially said that this advanced auxiliary driving function, even if the Tesla is now the best automated driving is also frequent accidents I really dare not put my life in the hands of this kind of electronic device, so forget it. Here I would like to praise the adaptive cruise and HUD configuration of the BMW 5 Series, which is so delicious for the BIMMER, which often uses cars at high speed, especially this HUD, after starting adaptive cruising on the highway, the current driving status of the vehicle can be seen very clearly through HUD, which is very useful for driving safety. So when I see some riders say that this HUD is of little use, I can only hehe, with the waist support of 530i fashion, adaptive cruising and HUD, there is almost no backache and leg pain when driving for a long time on the highway.
At the end of June 21, the 4S store informed me that the car had arrived at the 4S store and asked me to go through the formalities such as follow-up payment. In the morning, I quickly completed various formalities and paid the remaining payment, with a total cost of about 540000 (including car payment, insurance, license plate, etc.). Then I went to the garage to see the existing car, because the garage was dimly lit, so I just hurriedly took a car nameplate to make sure it was my car (main frame number check). Production date inspection, etc.), from the start of production to shipping to Hong Kong estimated 3 months, in front of so many words, presumably a lot of riders want to see the picture, above.

After going home and waiting for 10 days, the 4S store informed that all the formalities had been completed and the car could be picked up. I chose to pick up the car at the 4S store on the 12th of the weekend. I waited for more than half a year for this pure German BMW. I went there with my wife early in the morning. The 4S store also parked the car in the car delivery area early, and you could see that the car was already quietly waiting for his owner. Then Xiao Liu, the sales consultant, put all the gifts promised at that time into the car (here I also like the sales Xiao Liu, from talking about the price to tracking the order to delivering the car behind, all the services are satisfactory). After Xiao Liu gave me some simple vehicle introduction and points for attention, I had a simple delivery ceremony. It was a great pity that I didn’t send a bouquet of flowers to my wife.

After picking up the car, I took a look at the mileage of the vehicle. It was about 12 kilometers, which was completely reasonable. After leaving the 4S store, I went straight to the gas station. The first box was filled up. If I looked at the oil price at that time and compared with the current oil price, I could only find that there was more than 100 more fuel in a tank.

Since I had seen a lot of posts on the forum about whether to post car clothes before, I bought car clothes early in the event at Ma Yun’s house on June 18 while the car was waiting (the specific car clothing brand also read the article on car clothes written by a great god on the forum. My whole car includes 13000 of the roof fee). My suggestion for whether to paste car clothes for 5-series vehicles is that if conditions permit, it is better to paste one. Through my car experience over the past year, cars and clothes have a better protective effect on those small collisions. It is suggested that after getting the new car, we should drive the car to the car clothing cooperative store and paste the car clothes as soon as possible.

After the car is well handled, choose an evening walk and take a few photos. In the evening when the lights are on, the pure BMW five-Series shines in a faint light, showing a fickle dark blue.

As for the problem of small space in the back row of the imported BMW 5-Series, which has been criticized by some people, compared with the domestic BMW 5-Series, it is indeed smaller and unable to cross Jiro’s legs, but it is enough for our family of three. Perhaps many people will say that your family is short. That is really not, I 1.77 meters, wife 1.65 meters, son 1.82 meters, I do not know whether this height is short, as for the color of the interior and exterior decoration. This varies from person to person. If we were 10 years younger, we might choose volcanic red interior decoration.

Some people say that the interior atmosphere of BMW is not as cool as Mercedes-Benz, maybe, but I think the 5-Series has done a good job. The only criticism is that the atmosphere light cannot be turned off automatically during the day. I usually use blue or purple interior atmosphere lights. For many young people, this purple light will make people feel excited.

Finally, let’s take the certification of the blade key that all BIMMER has as the end of the pick-up chapter. In fact, there is a card key when picking up the car. For this card key, it is not very useful to say that the most useful one is the iPhone digital key. Usually, if you forget to bring the blade key and can use the car with your mobile phone, speaking of this digital key, you have to say that Apple has done a great job in marketing. It is very convenient to use iPhone to connect with the 5-series car system through Apple CarPlay. The only small pity is that the Baidu navigation and Gaode navigation of the iPhone phone can only be mapped to the 5-series big screen through CarPlay and cannot be projected on the HUD. At present, the navigation that can be mapped to the HUD is only the Gaud navigation that comes with the iPhone phone, even if the navigation software downloaded from the Gaud official website cannot be projected on the HUD. I hope Baidu or Gaud can communicate with BMW to solve this problem, after all, their maps are updated the fastest.

It has been more than a year since the car was picked up on July 12, 2021, and it has traveled 20,000 kilometers. on the whole, the standard axis 5 series is indeed a classic intermediate car, the compactness of the vehicle is better than that of the domestic 5 series, and the handling is better than the domestic extended 5 series (but it seems to be a little worse than the super control of the 5 series before my friend). Sitting at the back ruled out the feeling of carsickness because it was a 530i fashion version. Basically have all the configuration, the mute of the vehicle combined with Harman Catton audio, coupled with iPhone phone music App, driving to listen to music is very comfortable, decorated with leather sports seats, combined with adaptive cruise and HUD, driving on the highway under the waist support for several hours will not feel low back pain at all, because usually drive more high speed, basically use the comfortable mode of driving It is estimated that 15000 kilometers of the 20, 000 km journey is completed on the highway, and now the average fuel consumption is about 8.3%, which is quite good for this kind of medium-sized car. There are a lot of Bimmer driving around 6. 0 fuel consumption. I can only say that you are too good. I admire and can give you some fuel-saving advice, but I have a driving habit that will turn off the automatic start and stop function as long as the development motivation. I always feel that this function is not particularly friendly to the battery or engine, and it will lose the life of the battery or engine (although BMW officials say it does not affect it). In addition, the kick function of the BMW trunk is very easy to use, especially when there is no free hands, some Bimmer said that the kick function is not sensitive, this estimate is not mastered a good method Let’s talk about BMW’s mobile phone APP– My BMW, which was not very easy to use for a period of time, but later it was estimated to have been upgraded, and the function has been very perfect. Through this App, you can use the mobile Internet to remotely check the location, status, doors and windows of the car. There is a 3D image viewing function that is very interesting, and it is estimated to be unfriendly to many married Man. If you want to go out to Happy, your wife can check the post at any time. In addition, there is a remote temperature control service that can be purchased in BMW Mall (when I bought it, it seemed to be less than 1000 yuan for six years, and it is said that the price has gone up now), especially in summer in the south or winter in the north, it is very pleasant to set the temperature in the car before departure and to have a comfortable driving environment when you get on the car. last time, a driver said that the App could not communicate with the car when the car was parked in the underground garage. I really haven’t come across this. Every time my car is parked in an underground garage, I can use My BMW to communicate with the car. I don’t know how BMW does it.
Speaking perfectly, we have to talk about several problems that are often mentioned during the year of using a car. first of all, the phenomenon of low-speed drag has indeed been encountered before the first insurance of a new car, and several times during the low-speed start stage of waiting for the traffic lights. But now it basically does not appear again (maybe it is used to it). In addition, the traffic noise criticized by everyone has not been encountered at present. I do not know whether it is because of imported cars or the problem of probability. In addition, there are too few storage rooms in the BMW 5-Series, and there is no place for the mobile phone and keys, and the wireless charging space is so cramped that the iPhone Pro Max cannot be put in it. Every time you want to use this wireless charging, you must take off the phone coat before you can charge it. In addition, I focused on the problems after the first insurance. At that time, the vehicle had already driven 9800 kilometers before the Spring Festival. Thinking of going back to my hometown during the Spring Festival, I made the first insurance. It was also very easy to do the first insurance. I just changed the oil and oil filter. I chose to change the high-grade oil of 020 at that time, and after the change, the vehicle dithered slightly while waiting for the traffic light engine to idle. After-sale communication with 4S stores, they said that this was a normal phenomenon. At that time, Bimmer also appeared in the forum, and BMW could not solve it. Some people on the forum suggested buying BMW’s special gasoline additives to solve the problem. Later, they bought 6 bottles of gasoline additives in My BMW Mall. Pour it into the fuel tank before each refueling and then refuel. This jitter is probably better when the third bottle is used. Basically can’t feel it after all 6 bottles are used up (still a little bit, not very obvious). Some people say it’s caused by carbon accumulation in the engine, don’t you think?
Finally, we focus on the issue of 21 BMW 5-Series engine oil burning. After 22 years of Spring Festival in my hometown, after browsing the forum in Guangdong, suddenly there were numerous pastes about 21 5-Series engine oil burning. Was the first reaction at that time a common phenomenon? do all 21 5-Series engines have this phenomenon? I hope my car will not be hit by the lottery. At this time, the vehicle has driven about 3000 kilometers after the first insurance. I quickly use the detection system of the vehicle to check the amount of oil. Fortunately, the oil is full (5.75L of oil is added at the time of the first insurance). I thought that when I reached 20, 000 kilometers, I would open the spark plug to see if I burned the oil. As long as I drove 1000 kilometers in the middle, I would check the amount of oil to see if the oil ruler had dropped. Fortunately, until 20, 000 kilometers, my 530i oil scale was full, until on the 20th of this month, I went to the 4S store with apprehension to make a second guarantee. At this time, the vehicle had already traveled 20300 kilometers. Before going for maintenance, I expected that I would not have to change the spark plug. But after the after-sale inspection of the vehicle in the 4S store, I suggested that I change the spark plug. I thought this was the routine of the 4S store (after all, it would take more than 800 to change the spark plug. In my impression, it takes at least 30,000 kilometers to be replaced. I immediately called the official customer service of BMW, and their suggestion was also because of this engine. It would be better to replace the ignition plug at 20,000 kilometers. I think since I say so, I would like to remove the fire plug to check whether it burns the engine oil, and then start the second guarantee after negotiating the price and various discounts. In my entire company, the service staff removed four spark plugs. Directly above:
