There have always been two cars at home. One is the Cayenne Platinum version purchased by Rui in May last year. At that time, it had to be replaced, and there were quite a lot of discounts, so the car was customized. The car I picked up in August, because I had been busy all the time, I didn’t drive much for more than half a year. So far, the car is only more than 13000 kilometers. Interested riders can see my post about this car (https://club. .com.cn/bbs/thread/0de855d23694217b/65778493-1.html).
The other is the top matching of 11 Mercedes-Benz C200 driven by my wife. at that time, it was also because of the replacement. The 400000 car offered a discount of 70, 000 and gave me full insurance. after I finished picking it up in Beijing, I drove more than 2000 kilometers in two days and drove back to my home in Guiyang. usually this car is always driven to and from work by my wife, and it takes only more than 80, 000 kilometers in seven years. Last year, my son was admitted to college, and at the beginning of this year, he got his driver’s license. the boy seemed to have a special feeling for machinery. After getting the driver’s license, he kept robbing his mother for a car and watching his son become an adult, so he had the idea of buying a third car for his wife and giving Mercedes-Benz to his son.
After the Spring Festival this year, my wife and I started the process of choosing a car, because I usually like to go to the car house, and I can be regarded as a small enthusiast of the car, so I am mainly in the car selection. At first, I still wanted to continue to choose Porsche. My wife took a fancy to 718 Kaman and asked about it. I had to wait three to six months for a price increase of 30,000. Later, Xiao Yan, my former Porsche sales consultant, helped me win the policy, saying that I would not increase the price, but when I was about to book a car, I hesitated. Those who know the 718 all know that the car looks stylish, high-profile and stylish, but it is still slightly lacking in practicality, and it is not suitable for home use (occasionally for business). In addition, the option price is too high, the waiting time is too long, and there is already a Porsche at home, want to change to try these factors, finally decided to give up. The next step is to choose among the D-class cars, 730 Premium, 740 lead, Lexus LS, Mercedes-Benz S350, one of the main reasons these cars are finally denied is too large, because the main use of this car is usually the wife commuting to and from work, urban conditions will be more, these models are basically 5.2 meters long, so parking alone is a big problem, family use or to consider cost-effective and practical.
Next, the range of car selection was narrowed to practicality and body size. I went to see it in Japan, but it didn’t move me much, so I focused on BBA. Audi A6, A7 because of the immediate replacement, the style configuration is too old, there is no new idea, although the price has advantages, but still decisively denied. Next is the A5. I feel that the two-door sports model of the A5 Coupe45 is OK, and it is a new model, but after a test drive with my wife, I feel that although it is easy to drive, the car is a little floating, not thick, and the plastic feeling is strong, and the 4S generally does not accept customization. if I really want to customize it, I have to give up for at least half a year.
The scope is further narrowed, leaving only BMW New 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E. I see that many friends in the forum have the same car selection experience as me, and have been entangled between these two brands. Here, I would like to share the dimension of my car selection with you. For reference for those who are still wandering. The first is the launch time, the new 5 series is April 2017, while the E series is August 2016, the time of the new 5 series is nearly a year behind the E series; second, pricing. From the manufacturer’s point of view, the 540 is 30100 higher than the E320, and the E320 is cheaper in terms of the guidance price; third, the engine. The new 540 uses the latest generation of BMW’s code-named B58B30A in-line 6-cylinder 3.0T engine, with a maximum horsepower of 340 horsepower, 250KW, and a torque of 450-100km with an acceleration of 5.6 seconds. This engine is 14 horsepower more powerful than the current BMW 740, and the 10KW is the same as the current GT640 engine. The Mercedes-Benz E320 uses a V63.0T engine with a maximum horsepower of 272, 200KW, and a torque of 400-100km with an acceleration of 5.7s. This engine is the same as the Mercedes-Benz S320. In terms of engine parameters alone, the engine assembled by the 540 is slightly higher than the Mercedes-Benz S400, but lower than the S450; fourth, configuration. From the configuration point of view, the difference between the two cars is not too big, just look at personal car habits and preferences, here focus on a few things, I personally think more important: 1, suspension system. The E320 uses a front double-wishbone independent suspension system with a rear multi-link and an air-conditioned comfortable adaptive suspension system (which I will talk about in more detail later), while the E320 is a multi-link independent suspension system in front and rear, and the air suspension costs 19000 yuan. The design of the 540 should not only maintain the handling of the BMW, but also ensure the comfort of the car, but the front row passengers will feel a little “hard” compared to the back row. 2. Car body structure. 540 is made of all-aluminum alloy body, weight loss is obvious, E320 part of the body is steel structure. 3. Interior decoration. 540 the whole car seat is made of high-grade Nappa leather, the leather is meticulous, and the E320 is leather interior; fifth, it is cost-effective. Although from the manufacturer’s guidance price, the price of 540 is 30,000 yuan higher than E320, but I went to the 4S store to consult and compare the car prices offered by car friends in the recent forum, by contrast, E320 currently has no preferential loans to send decoration, maintenance and other preferential range of about 20, 000 yuan, if calculated by this, the actual terminal price of E320 is about 60-610000 yuan, 540 discount in 8-13 points, about 58-607000 yuan.
To sum up, by comparison, I think 540 is more advantageous and more cost-effective. Just that day, I went to our Tongyuan BMW store in Guiyang. At that time, I was received by BMW sales consultant Yang Yunze, Xiao Yang, who was very enthusiastic and straightforward. After listening to me, I knew that I still had some experience about cars. So directly tell me that there is a small modification before the 540, produced at the end of 17 years, white mocha interior decoration, put in the store for more than two months, the discount is relatively large. The 540 before the small change, except for the chrome plating of the car buttons, there is no difference, which is not a problem for me. After Xiao Yang showed me the car, he went on a trip to Chongqing, came back to find a friend, floated a little bit on the basis of the existing discount, and booked the car in this way. As a result, when BMW and his wife went to pick up the car that day, BMW had another policy that customers with the identity of an institution could have another discount, which happened to be met by the wife, so they gave another discount on the basis of the original discount, which was calculated to get almost 13 points. also sent a suede roof, the car does not have the cheapest and the most expensive, sometimes it is really fate, the right opportunity and the right mood Coupled with the coincidence of opportunity, so I think this price has reached my psychological expectations. Here, I would like to thank Xiao Yang, my sales consultant, for your warm, thoughtful and professional service, which made me complete a happy and unforgettable car purchase journey. if you need a friend, please contact me privately for his contact information. Although I finally chose the BMW 540, it does not mean that the Mercedes-Benz E320 will not work, because there is a Mercedes-Benz C200 at home, which has used more than 87,000 kilometers in seven years. On the whole, it is quite satisfactory, that is, the engine intake regulator has been broken recently. I went to the 4S store for repair, because it has been insured and cost 1.3W, the Mercedes-Benz accessories are really expensive! The choice of BMW this time is just a matter of preference, emphasis and tradeoff. Please don’t spray Mercedes-Benz.
Next, let’s talk about the reasons why we chose 540 instead of 530. Look at the forum, many riders are struggling and arguing about this matter, of course, the most important thing of the 540 is the BMW classic straight 6 engine, which needless to say, without this engine 540 will lose the meaning of existence. Here, mainly from the configuration and cost-effective point of view to provide you with a reference. Here we choose the 530 enjoyment model as the object of comparison, because this car is the top configuration of the 530 executive level, and it is the most intuitive to compare the 540, you can take a look at the following picture.
