When the time came to 2018, when I had nothing to do on the weekend, I went to the 4S store several times to see the E level. My wife and I were quite fond of it, but I always felt very expensive when I thought of the price of 500000 + on arrival on the E300. Is it worth so much money to buy a car? after all, the car is a consumable that will always depreciate, and it is a four-cylinder turbine engine. (because I used to drive the Infiniti G25 V6 engine with 2.5 displacement, the low roar of the engine when accelerating, and the manic character of the engine at high speed is simply perfect. The mileage reached 129000 km in more than 8 years, except for a little bit of normal maintenance. When selling to non-local riders, lift the car to look at the chassis, engine, gearbox, engine gearbox combination. There is not a drop of oil in the rear differential, and the pure imported quality of Japanese luxury brands is still very good.

At that time, my wife always asked me when to change the bus. Because I didn’t want to change, I put it off in the second half of the year. But just at this time, an official account exposed the endurance tests of Class E and Series 5, and the level E was eliminated by surprise.

After the E class is completely eliminated, let’s take a look at the 5 series (Audi A6L will be replaced next year, so it will be ruled out directly. If there is a reason for giving me a 1% choice, it is the 2.5V6 engine). It turns out that I always feel that the interior of BMW is too old-fashioned and the overall layout has not changed for many years, so I hate it very much, . It turned out to be wrong, and when I really got into the 5 series of G series code, I found that everything was so coordinated, the functions I wanted to use were within reach, and everything was just right. Although the full liquid crystal instrument and the central control large screen are not as cool as the E-level penetrating instrument, nor as high-tech as Audi’s virtual cockpit. Maybe this is the compromise BMW chose to make between luxury and technology.

The first time to go to the BMW 4S store should be at the end of May, basically to look at the appearance of interior decoration, did not do too much understanding. With the exposure of the endurance test at the end of June, more and more people went to the BMW 4S store. The first test-driven car was the 530LIM sports version, which gave me the impression that the car was too easy to drive, but the car was so light and light, and the whole car was soundproof quite well. During the test drive, I specially pressed the tire over the manhole cover, and the suspension and chassis of the car made me feel quite good, and there was no extra for the bumpy filter, and the whole suspension chassis system gave me the impression of tenacity, not pure “hard”. Actually, it was decided after I got out of the car. This is it.

At that time, I have been diving in the 5-series forum for a period of time to know that the discount is very big, and there are 5 4S stores that struggle with whether it is a 530LI leading sport or a premium sport. by comparison, I find that the gap in the price of more than 40, 000 original factory instructions is unstoppable, and the discount in Beijing is very good at that time, gnashing my teeth or directly enjoying the sport. On July 18, I booked a car at the 4S store on the extension line of Chang’an Street on the East fourth Ring Road (I originally wanted to order carbon black + volcanic red, but there was a small episode, see my original post for details). Do not want any factory installation (mainly poor) they happen to have a car scheduled for August 9 in the store, the white appearance and red interior immediately pay the deposit, and then I will happily go home. Look at the 5 series forum every day to discuss with you. In fact, the days of waiting for the bus pass very quickly. In the twinkling of an eye, in early August, I thought that the frame number should come out, so I asked the salesman to help me see if there was a frame number on my computer. He made a video for me saying that the frame number had come out. But, but just then I found a serious problem. How did the manufacturer’s guidance price on the back of my 530LI sports model write more than 470000? I deliberately paused the video from the sale and looked carefully at the actual guide price of more than 470000. This is not the leading sports version. But I ordered the premium sports version, and immediately checked with the sales, and the sales said that I ordered the leading sports, so I was very angry and immediately sent the order to the sales, and the sales didn’t know what was going on at that time. Because I couldn’t go to the store to talk directly on the way back to Beijing on the high-speed railway at that time, I probably told the sales that the order was wrong and waited for me to check it over the weekend. When I arrived at the store on the weekend, it was confirmed on the computer that I had booked a leading sport, and the premium sports car that I saw scheduled for production on August 9 actually disappeared. I said the important thing three times. And there was an extra car scheduled for August 10, which was exactly the same as the configuration I asked for. When I booked the car, the August schedule was not ordered. At that time, there was only the No. 9 car. Moreover, on the day I went to the store at the weekend, a premium August car was added from their computer. It was shown that it had been booked the day before. I don’t know if the sales made a mistake or the information entry clerk in their store made a mistake. Led to the disappearance of my premium sports version. The point is that not only the car I ordered has disappeared, but there are several more August cars for no reason, all of which have just been booked by someone else. Directly cancel the subscription, I am so angry that I will not buy it directly.

The next working day, I discussed with my wife whether to buy it or not, and the continued popularity of the 5 series led to almost no cars, even after a few months of booking, and the price went up. The final result is to go to several other 4S stores to see if there is any fate with the 5 series. If the price is right, buy a car that has not been ordered, and if not, you will not buy it. When my Infiniti G25 directly changes to Nissan’s Tuller in two years, with Tule, all China can go wherever it wants.

In the early morning of the weekend, I called a 4S store that I had never been to before to ask if there was a car (outside the North Fifth Ring Road). To my surprise, there was a car that had been offline (waiting for transportation), and there were still unbooked ones scheduled for August. The girl who answered the phone said she was an assistant, not a salesman, and would ask the salesman to call me back as soon as possible. I said yes. When things got here, I was supposed to go directly to this 4S store and book a car, but I didn’t know what I thought, but I went to another 4S store (also outside the North Fifth Ring Road, this is the third time to come). As a result, there must be no cars left, and the orders are all booked up, only for cars after October. Just when I was about to leave to go to the 4S store with a car, the salesman told me that he would call and ask for me later. After asking, he said that there was still a car in his friend’s store, and the price was good. He asked me if I wanted to see which store I was talking about, and the salesman said XX store. This is the store I called early in the morning, . But I am very calm. I’ll talk to him later. I may still have no fate with BMW. The salesman must also want to facilitate the deal, giving my phone number to his friend and sending me his friend’s phone number. I’ll talk about it later. I can’t go to see the E-class of Mercedes-Benz. If I show that I can’t wait, the price will be hard to talk about, so I left this 4S store and drove directly to the one with a car. But I didn’t call his friend because it would expose my needs. Anyway, I called in the morning and said there was a car. I went to the store to talk to another salesman. But just then I left the 4S store without a car for about half an hour. I received a call from his friend on the Fifth Ring Road, telling him that I was going to Mercedes-Benz’s 4S store to book Class E (I won this game. It played a key role in the price negotiation in the future). As soon as he heard me, the salesman said that it was impossible for you to come to our store first and then make a decision. Just now my friend called to say that you are also very interested in the 5 series. I asked about the price on the phone, and the salesman said XX10,000 yuan. I said, can I still talk if I go? he said I can still talk. I asked again, what about the decoration? Some stores have to impose decoration, but your friend’s shop used to be a gift of decoration. He said that if you could decorate it, I would send it to you. I said, I’ll tell you what, you can still talk about the price, send me the decoration, and then I’ve already driven to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store. He said he was sure I said, all right, I’ll go and have a look. As a matter of fact, I am already opening to his 4S store, and since I have a good phone conversation, I won’t find anyone else. To the store did not choose the car that has been offline, but chose a car that has been produced with a frame number, white appearance, red interior, the original factory is equipped with wireless charging hotspots and electric waist support, there is no car installed by the original factory, there is basically no car in his home. I booked a car so happily, and then I found that this brother was also a very nice and refreshing brother in the process of getting in touch with this salesman.
Pick up the car on the Mid-Autumn Festival on September 24, put the license plate on the DMV on the morning of September 30, and take photos of Yanqi Lake in Huairou in the afternoon. I hope you like it. (Xiaomi MIX2S mobile phone photo taken during the whole process, and I beg your pardon.)
