It is said that the feeling of buying a car has always been excitement and anxiety before lifting the car, and boredom and regret after picking up the car. Since I chose this 540Li in December last year to book a car and pick up a car, it has been driving more than 9000 kilometers for half a year. There are all kinds of people. At that time, they were full of enthusiasm, but now they still want to talk. However, the Internet is originally in a spirit of mutual sharing. Today, on Mother’s Day, I gather my mind and sum up the care I have in choosing and using my car. I would like to share with you. It would be a great honor if I could help individual brothers make the right choice. The writing is not good, we forgive you for nagging.

I was born as a silk man and was made of 52 karat pure gold when I was young. He is so poor that he clangs. It was 16 years ago that I was doing software development in Zhuhai, Guangdong, when I graduated from university. The most impressive event was the first salary of 2870 yuan. I was excited. It was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for me, who had just been in the school food standard of 300 yuan a month. Treat now! Invite out a few friends who have just arrived at the company and run to the vicinity of Xiangzhou Department Store. I don’t remember which restaurant. I just remember excitedly going to the bank to withdraw money. A group of people gathered around and the card was inserted. The balance was 4.5 yuan. A group of people roared with laughter, and I was embarrassed. Only later did I know that when my salary arrived on the first day and the next day, I didn’t know for the first time, and other people didn’t know that I had no money. Later, I borrowed money to complete this treat farce. More than ten years have passed, and I still laugh when I think about it. Some of the small partners at that time are now the CIO of Zhuhai Xiaoyuan Technology, which round of financing has just been completed, some have already arrived in Shanghai where a foreign-funded medical equipment occupies an important position, and some small partners do not know where to develop. I do feel a little sorry that they have not been seen for so many years in the past decade. As for myself, I have returned from Guangdong to my hometown of Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, and transferred from the software industry to the production of an industrial heater. Starting with three people, I have developed step by step for 10 years, during which I got married and had children, bought a car and bought a house, and went to foreign countries for all kinds of things. now there are two factories with just over a hundred employees, barely squeezing into the well-off list. But the heaters I produce have been sold to Japan and Taiwan for the first time. They are the only infrared heaters imported from Japan in the past few decades (Japan’s own technology is very good). There are many agents in Southeast Asia and Turkey. It is a little successful to achieve the position of the number one brand in China. But the hard work, you industrial bosses should be able to empathize. Especially like me in today’s environment, want to adhere to the quality, colleagues of all kinds of slander, as well as blatant plagiarism, used to be indignant and indignant, now it is clear and light, a smile.
I have strayed from the subject. I haven’t written for many years. Haha, I can’t stop writing. Here to post a photo of our products, if predestined to have customers happen to demand, , fate. You can call me.

Back to the car. Just going back to the past, I actually want to say that during that time in Zhuhai, the highest ideal of my life was an Audi car. I don’t know why I liked Audi so much when I was young. I was really haunted by my dreams. May think that Mercedes-Benz is too expensive to climb, BMW is too wild, and can not control, only Audi, good-looking sports technology luxury, perfect balance. My last car was Audi A6L, that is, influenced by this concept, this car used to bring me a strong sense of satisfaction. When I was in the United States at the end of 13 years, I bought a 328. The precise pointing and rigid chassis adjustment of that car, as well as the sudden burst of accelerated push, completely conquered me. Harnessing pleasure is unparalleled. From then on, I learned that the essence of a car is always the pleasure of driving. So the feeling for Audi plummeted and began to think about BMW again.

In the second half of 17 years, I finally started looking for a car. Because I am 40 years old and have worked hard for 10 years in 2018, I want to give myself a good gift. The first favorite car is the mine car LS350, at that time, the car is not yet on the market, it is still creating momentum, Mark stereo, 24-inch display, shape and data are all kinds of amazing, so the bubble forum to find parameters (a common fault of technical men), everything is very good, only the identity of Japanese cars let me feel a little lost. When I was in Zhuhai, I was also the man who was invited to drink tea for organizing a parade to boycott Japanese products (a major event happened in Zhuhai at that time, but no one mentioned it now). Now I am old, and my hatred for Japan has long faded, but I still have a choice. I try not to use Japanese products (the price of the products I sell to Japan is 1.5 times that of domestic products. I didn’t expect people to accept it or not. So it’s kind of weird. In addition, it sells for 1.03 million (it seems), slightly over budget, and the standard set for itself at that time was a car price of less than 900000.
Later, the car I took a fancy to was Cady’s top CT6, which was completely stacked with technical parameters. He has almost all the automotive technology you can think of with an engine of 400 horsepower. I just don’t know why it doesn’t sell well all the time. When I was struggling, I posted advice in the group about what was wrong, and in the end, all the answers pointed to its gearbox. Said his gearbox plummeted to doubt his life. To tell you the truth, I’m not familiar with Cady cars. I’m a little uncertain. The parameters are beautiful enough, the price is right, and the brand is slightly less acceptable, but what kind of gearbox that worries me most can be described as “doubting life”? I once ran to Wuxi and tried a test drive. I didn’t have a top car, and I couldn’t drive violently on the ordinary road. I just felt normal, not as bad as I thought. But what if the top car is a doubtful type of life? I was tangled up for a moment.
Later, when I tried to drive the 7 series in the past, it felt like a big ship. I am not tall, 174, and I have a strong sense of being trapped in it. It’s like I’m stuck in a chair. The driving is quite smooth, the test drive is the 730focus 2.0T engine as smooth as silk, I don’t know how BMW does this kind of adjustment. BMW sales Xiao Zhu is very good, asked me what requirements, I said I want to try the L6 engine, he went to check the 740, a check, found a magic car: BMW Individual custom model, emperor blue, Bauer stereo, laser headlights, magic blanket empty suspension, aviation seats, all, the only missing is not enhanced driving, or now I am in the 7-series forum posted car sticker (laughter). At that time, I was very tangled, because Individual had a very high status in my mind, and Emperor Blue was also unobtainable, and it was still a current car, and I made a special offer, as long as 1.25 million or how much (I can’t remember). Anyway, it was the perfect choice, that is, I was wondering whether to give up enhanced driving or not. My wife went there that day and was satisfied with the car, but she didn’t say much when she saw my eyes full of doting looking at the car. I just stood there quietly, watching the car, and the two villains in my heart fought like the ultimate war of the Matrix.
Finally, the wife said, there is no hurry for this minute, go back to calm down and think again.
So I said goodbye to Xiao Zhu, and my wife and I went out. Walked 20 meters, 740 behind me “boom” a fire, I stopped, listening to the thick engine roar behind me gradually away, I paused for 10 seconds, turned to my wife, I am not sure of this car, but I am very sure of the six-cylinder engine.
This sentence becomes the admission condition when choosing a car later.
The cars at the back are 640GT and 540. Originally aimed at 640, frameless door, slippery back shape, standard shaft 7 series chassis, 4 axis steering, but just on the market, it is not a good time to buy. It happened to be an existing car when I went to see it. As soon as I saw the car was a little silly, I didn’t know what the problem was. I inexplicably felt that the driver’s seat seemed arched here from the side, like a pregnant woman. For a moment there was no good feeling, but no interest. If I look around, I do have this feeling. When I ask others, they all say it’s all right. Is there something wrong with my eyes? it’s really uncomfortable to look at it from left to right. When I see a 530 next to me, it’s very handsome. The previous generation of 5 series is very amazing, black chicken out of the Phoenix. Unexpectedly, this generation will make the appearance more handsome and exercise, which is really good-looking. It’s hard to buy a good heart. Buy a car that suits your eyes. Besides, the 540 data is also very beautiful.
Finally, we also tangled with the 740s and 540s, which were all matched, with a difference of 1.25 million, a 710000, and a dutiable 1.4 million and a 810000, a difference of 600000. 600000 is not a decimal, or make some compromise, anyway, it is greasy middle-aged, do not be so arrogant. What’s more, the L6 engine, Baohua stereo, enhanced driving and backseat adjustment of the 540 are all available. There is no magic carpet but there is an extra air suspension in the back seat, there are no laser headlights but there are self-adjusting LED lights, and the laser headlights can not be turned on all the way. And I drive this car 95% of the time, the essence of the 7 series is in the back seat, and I have been empty in the back seat, and there is no driver, which is really a waste. After thinking about it, it’s settled, it’s 540.
Then I got tangled up with 540Li and 540i. Although the two cars are both 540, their positioning is quite different. On the contrary, the overlap area is not as large as 740 and 540. 540i focuses on sports and has very little business, but the business atmosphere of 540Li is quite strong. In a sense, 540i is a 20-something teenager in sportswear, sunny and driving his car out of all kinds of performance limits, while 540Li is like a 35-year-old steady business man in a suit with a thug heart, usually quiet and showing his strength from time to time. We have also discussed it in our group, and the final conclusion is that those who have children choose 540Li, and those who do not have children choose 540i. Ha, I think it is simple and easy to choose. Obviously, 540Li suits me better.
Immediately began to look for a group, but there are too few owners of 540 cars. Our Taizhou is also a small place, and we don’t even have a 5-line group. So I built a small group with two or three people I knew in the 5-department forum, and then posted a post in Auto House. Soon there were 10 people and 20 people. Up to now, there are 138 people, which should be the largest 540 group in the country, right? The 540 is so small that there should be only about 800 in the country by now.
540 just came out with a fare increase, and when I went to talk about it in December, someone in the group was able to lift the car at an affordable price. When I went to talk about the price of the car, I was driving a group of friends, chatting in the group while talking about the price. It was really unexpected that I was able to talk about five discounts. I was happy at that time. I just went to see the car. I immediately made a decision and paid a deposit of 20,000 yuan. But it turned out to be just silly and naive. Maybe I happened to be standing in the window of falling prices. Soon someone in the group talked about 6 points, 7 points, 9 points. When the price of 10 points appeared, the group went crazy. However, now the price has reached 16 points, and everyone has become Buddhist car owners, looking focused on studying the maps of little sisters all over the country (laughing and crying).

I decided at the end of December that it would theoretically have to wait for five months because of the addition. But the sales Xiao Zhang in Taizhou was so powerful that he immediately looked around for the quota. When I came back from my holiday in Malaysia during the Spring Festival in February, the car was already waiting for me in the 4S. During this period, because a large number of car owners in the group were waiting for the bus, the group developed extremely professional skills in ship inspection and flight inspection, especially a handful of technical men headed by Mr. Xiao in Shanghai, who announced the ship path in the group every day like the weather forecast. it has become a great pleasure for the 540 group.
I felt a little nervous when I saw my car at first sight. I have bought five cars, this is really my own car, as I want, L6 inline 3.0T engine, Baohua stereo, enhanced driving assistance, full-color HUD, full LCD dashboard, favorite Nappa ventilated comfortable seat, rear seat adjustable, LED adaptive headlights As for what double skylight, how many airbags, how many color surround lights, electric sunshade net, star ceiling fragrance system, four-wheel drive air conditioner, electric trunk, kick open the door, angel wing light blanket seat memory gesture control, these are not important, really not important. This is a car that can meet 99% of my expectations now. If I have to find something wrong, I think it is the only regret that there is no four-wheel drive version.

When I got the key for the first time, my heart beat, and I sat in the car, first familiar with the buttons, and found that my car was equipped with metal buttons, which felt good-in fact, I had touched all the pictures in the computer 100 times (laughter). Then stabilize your mind, fasten your seat belt, hit the brakes, press the start button, the car just shakes slightly, and the tachometer jumps to 1000 rpm. Wait, where’s the engine?! What about the “boom” fire that haunts my dreams?! I… Did I buy an electric car? I turned to look at Xiao Zhang next to me and asked, has the engine ignited? He spoke, and I asked why I didn’t hear a sound. He said you open the window and try again. I might as well push the door open and start the fire again. Boom! — ha, I really bought the L6. It turned out that the car is so soundproof! Are there any surprises?
As I said before in the group, there are seven things to do to pick up the car: 1, paste clothes; 2, paste window film; 3, add RDC;4, brush concealment function: 5, add driving recorder; 6, buy foot mats and trunk mats; 7, ETC; I threw it all at a friend in Shanghai. In particular, it is recommended that you install the RDC, although the car has tire pressure monitoring, but the actual air pressure value can not come out. Add the original factory’s RDC to show the temperature and air pressure at that time, the cost is about 1500-1600, Taobao is in stock, you can pay attention to distinguish between true and false.

Brush hidden, mainly to brush the car lock BB sound, here to complain, BMW car lock sound is really too bad. Audi is a very gentle beep, BMW is like the kind of two-wheeled electric car beep, very sharp, very low price, alas, when the car lock sound can be customized, get a music ring back tone “go home”, ha.
The atmosphere lights of the other 5 series are fixed and cannot be adjusted arbitrarily, which is relatively poor. In the brush hidden time can ask others to help you adjust any color, a total of about 60, as if, I adjusted a blue and purple between, very like, and unique, feel very cool.

Speaking of Baohua. Baohua actually let me down this time. Although its appearance has reached a new height, the parrot spiral lights at night will give a wow to any new friend who gets on the bus. It was really amazing. But its voice, alas, I have to complain, is indeed very dry, very stiff, the stress did not dive, the feeling is only worth 3,000, and 25,000 still rely on lights, not worth 30,000 at all. If I can get a refund, I almost want to apply for a refund. A rider in our group from Guangzhou gave a guide to adjust the Baohua equalizer. I adjusted it according to his guide, and sure enough, the sound quality was greatly improved. it turned out that there was room for improvement in this stereo. I misjudged it. However, after listening to this voice for a while, I was dissatisfied, and then I heard that it could be improved, and it was a qualitative improvement, and I was skeptical in my heart. I asked several friends who had been promoted, and they all said that they had been promoted, so I also asked that cyclist in Guangzhou at that time. I didn’t want some of his ways of doing things to cause my discomfort, so I didn’t cooperate. I went to that friend in Shanghai and brushed it for me for free. After brushing, I still adjusted the equalizer according to the original adjustment, feeling improved, the stress dive improved obviously, but the treble is still not clear enough.
I was lost in deep thought. What on earth is going on?
Can it be said that the hype of Baohua Audio and the top stereo of 5 series can not stand the test? Is this a defect of human nature or a loss of morality?
No, I want to save my ears.
The power amplifier has been compiled separately, and the remaining active thing is the equalizer adjustment. So I spent the whole afternoon, found a very quiet place, fine-tuned each band bit by bit, and finally found the most suitable ear adjustment template. In the spirit of sharing, the following is shared here: bass: + 5 / 100HZ: 0 / 200HZ:-3 / 500HZ: 0 / 1KHZ:+4 / 2KHZ:-1 / 5KHZ: + 2 / 10KHZ: + 2 / treble: + 3.

This voice is just a way of adjustment that I prefer, and I still need to thank the cyclist in Guangzhou for providing the master version. When used to listen to pop music, the treble is clear, the stress is in place, and the sound field is open, which fully reflects the quality of Baohua. At least one grade higher than my previous A6L. Listen to the song “From Now On” in “the King of the Circus”, from the murmur at the beginning, to the high-pitched and high-pitched behind, and then to the most wonderful part of the chorus, the sound field is majestic, the stress is low but not muddy, the treble is bright but not broken, and a person is galloping on the highway at night, like a live musical in the car. It was not until this time that I felt that the money was really worth it.

Let’s talk about this B58 in-line L6 engine. The 3.0T engine is originally imported 340 horsepower, and the actual adjustment is relatively conservative. In group 540, a friend from Ningbo brushed it to 500 horsepower, indicating that it has great potential. But at my age, I don’t care whether it’s 5.9 or 4.9 at 100 kilometers. Once the 540 car is switched to sports mode, the LCD dashboard immediately turns red, the code table number is simplified, only the phantom pointer and a huge speed per hour, the chassis hardens, and the flanks of the seat will be surrounded automatically (this is awesome and ceremonial. It’s like a first-class preparation of a human cannon). What I need to remind you is that if you really want to run fast, you should also shoot the handle to the left and push the S file, Sport mode + S file, this usually gentle intermediate business vehicle will become a grumpy leopard, one foot throttle down, the car will rush out in an instant, the whole person will be obediently pressed on the seat, at this time, the only thing you can do is to tightly control the steering wheel, although there is enhanced driving assistance. Security still depends mainly on your hands.
My car has now driven more than 9000 kilometers, and there are not many opportunities for me to get into the s+ Sport file, but every time I go in, I always encounter God-killing, and maybe I don’t have many performance cars in the area. If I really encounter a small steel gun or overrun, it must be that I can’t see the taillights for a second, but for now, I can still feel good every time. The most impressive one was on the way back to Taizhou in Huaian. Because of an emergency, I was running at 125 (speed limit 120) and exceeded many normal vehicles. A Su K horse 6, the owner may be relatively young, even if I do not let him drive fast, he is also fast, all kinds of gear stops, but do not let me overtake. That day is really angry, cut into the Sport+S file, soared to 190 to overtake him, and then all kinds of blocking him. When he encountered a truck, he drove side by side with the truck, and he ignored the flashing horn behind him, and then he pulled the engine and overtook him in the emergency driveway. As soon as I overtook it, I was already waiting for him side by side at the bus in front of me. Speed up he can not compare, no temper, so I blocked three or four times, and finally honest, steadfastly followed behind for 5 minutes, I just left. To tell you the truth, I regretted it later on. Maybe he was just having fun and meant no harm. If I block him like this, there is a certain risk that violent driving will lead to danger when he is angry. That would be a big sin. In the future, he should be more Buddhist and more peaceful. In addition, from this point of view, the engine is good, really not fully reflected in the speed, more advantage is reflected in the acceleration, from this point, the B58 engine is absolutely bought value.

Let’s talk about fuel consumption. My car drives much more at high speed, so I need to drive the 400KM highway every week, so my fuel consumption is stable at 8.8L, while my brothers in the group have 11L, 13L, and high-end players to 16L. Compared with the previous 2.0TA6L, fuel consumption has increased (A6L I drive fuel consumption is about 8.0L), after all, is 3.0T engine, this fuel consumption can only be described as a surprise. Of course, this has something to do with driving habits. I like automatic start and stop technology. Many people say that automatic start and stop will hurt cars. I posted a post at Auto House five years ago, detailing that automatic start and stop technology only increases the load of starting motors and batteries. There is nothing wrong with the engine, only beneficial but harmless. When it comes to starting motors and batteries, my A6L has been open for five years and 196000 kilometers without a problem. It is obvious that the design has been strengthened without worry. Generally in big cities, I think it is completely pressure-free to control fuel consumption at 11-12L. For high-speed riders like me, fuel consumption should be below 9.5L. There is no upper limit on fuel consumption for fierce driving. Of course, if some motorists can drive up to 20L, I would also like to get to know them. I wonder if Tuhao still lacks pendant in your thigh.

Finally, let’s talk about the inadequacies:
1. I don’t know if it is the lack of brilliance assembly ability, or the same with the imported 540i, the door frame part, the door part, the position of the reading lights in the car, and so on, the hands creak when pressed, very loose, ah, this is a 710000 car, dear. I didn’t have a 380000 car like this before, okay? But the hand press to ring, usually there is no abnormal noise when driving.
2. No all-wheel drive, no four-wheel drive
3, the back row of the pad, its base is very easy to break, do not press it not to let it up, or it in the top state to press hard, it will break! I’ve already repaired it once and changed it again!
4. The ventilation of the seat feels like a chicken rib. Every time it is opened, it smells like leather, and the suction is very small, the noise is very loud, and the industrial design is a failure.
5. The automatic air conditioner can’t adjust the air volume! fantastic! For a 700000 car, the air conditioner has to adjust the air volume manually, so where is it automatically? Do not doubt, so many people have confirmed that they will not automatically adjust the air volume!
6. The seat in the back row will be even more perfect if it is designed to pour back 5 degrees more. The present angle of moving back is actually quite awkward, sitting in a position between comfort and discomfort. If you want to be comfortable, you have no choice but to move down. Sit in the way of Ge You lying down, not to mention temperament, especially the human figure is gone, it is impossible to sit like this if there is a beautiful woman nearby, it is too bad on the road.
7. That automatic headlight is very creepy. Basically, even a car will not turn on the headlight. It will always be a low light, so what do I want you to do? Am I close to light? all right.
8. Car wifi can’t change its name, and up to now I don’t know what the password is. Bluetooth can’t change its name, it’s silly, other cars can change their name, only a long string of numbers in BMW’s name, it can’t be changed, especially amateur
9. Without LCD key, automatic charging function is not needed.
This car is prone to carsickness. All people who get carsick will get worse in this car, at least in my family. People who don’t get carsick myself will get dizzy in this car. There are two people in my family who are seriously carsick, so they are in a lot of pain. If it had been changed, the gentry would have improved a lot. This is not a disadvantage for people who don’t get carsick.
I bought this car and looked at the 740 again. I smiled and didn’t care. But once I saw a brand new LS350 on the road, and my heart thumped twice in an instant. It is indeed breathtakingly beautiful. The LS350 and 500 are indeed good cars, and I strongly recommend that those who like them grit their teeth and go on. It’s really beautiful.
There are too many advantages about 540Li, so I won’t say it. The main advantage is that this is the most cost-effective car equipped with an L6 engine. No one.
Finally, I wish everyone can drive your car as soon as possible!
