Half a year’s experience in using G38

540Li, which started in March this year, has been driving for more than half a year. At that time, I bought a test car and posted a pick-up sticker. As a result, it attracted a group of people to spray, saying that the test car could not be asked for every day, some said that 500000 people could not buy a second-hand picture, or even compared to women. I will not say those vulgar words. I just think these people are bored to death.
The reason why I chose a second-hand car: first of all, 530 luxury new cars landed at 52-53 at the beginning of the year. I chose this piece to take off the waist and the heating and ventilation of the front and rear seats (at the beginning of the year, there is no standard comfortable seat, but the premium M has front ventilation but no HUD), so you have to land 55-56. If you choose something else, you will land at 60, not including QJ 14000. To be honest, it’s a little expensive. During this time, relatives in the 4s store are also helping to ask the price, because of the regional price alliance, it is not much cheaper, so contact me not to stare at the new car, quasi-new car can also be considered. Moreover, the current new car is updated too fast. Take the 5 Series, for example, it was still 2019 at the beginning of the year, changed it once in May, then changed it in September, finally changed it in November, and changed it twice in less than half a year. You can’t buy a car if you always want to wait for a new model.
The second is to keep driving a six-cylinder car (G37 has been driving for six years). If you change a four-cylinder car, it is more or less difficult psychologically, but the new 540 car is too much over budget, and the next best thing is acceptable. The source of the car is also found by relatives in the 4s store, and the condition of the car can be basically guaranteed. I have also found a third party to test it, so it’s not a big problem.
Speaking of cars, 3500 kilometers started, and now 16000 kilometers, the overall feeling is good, but there is a creaking sound in opening the co-driver’s door, because the chrome-plated decorative strip of the window frame is in contact with the rearview mirror, and the decorative strip is removed. The position of contact is solved with two layers of clothing.
There is no unusual noise in the car, and the smell is almost dispersed. The cool car does have a sense of drag on the throttle at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, and it is much lighter after the hot car. Some people say that it is the reason for kinetic energy recovery, but I think it is because the temperature of the gearbox has not come up, there is something wrong with the shift logic, leading to low-gear high speed, engine braking reasons, tried manual mode manual shift is all right.
The ventilation effect of the seat is not as good as imagined, but the effect is also OK to borrow the methods of other riders on the forum.
There is also the problem of the bad smell of the air conditioner. It may be that it has not been turned off or washed before when testing the car. The taste is quite big. After washing the evaporator twice and once in the air duct, it still has a little smell. Next spring, we will continue to wash it.
Power aside, S-gear floor oil is really a little scary, low torsion is much stronger than VQ37, but the aftereffect still has to be G37, ride comfort is also good, and the noise is also less than before VQ37, urban fuel consumption is 11-12, high speed 100km / h cruising minimum to over 5.5.It is quite satisfactory, and with enhanced auxiliary functions, the lane remains equipped with ACC, perfect.

At that time, the fare of the new car was 650000, and it landed on the ground for more than 70%, which dropped by 200000 in a year and a half. This is why I finally chose the second-hand car.

Starting price, 508000

The purchase tax is 55,000, plus the first year insurance, landing is about 72.

I still remember the first time I saw the car.

After 9 months of service, I bought it for more than half a year.

There was an alarm about the lack of antifreeze in the middle. I went to 4s to check that there was no leak, but it was normal, and I made up some antifreeze, but it didn’t appear again so far.

The maintenance done in early June costs about 1500 per time. I bought a five-year, five-time half-price basic maintenance package with a price of 1500, and then the basic maintenance is 700,800 (PICC does not plan to do anything in the 4s store).

It smells good.

You’re not going to change the generation, are you?
