BMW station wagon, in the domestic streets can be said to be a “rare species”, what is the reason?
I personally think that first of all, it is because it is much higher than the same class hatchback sedan, such as the 2013 530Li leading new car costs 550000, while the same engine 530i leading travel version costs 660000, how many people are willing to spend 110000 more to buy a bigger trunk?
The second reason, many people say, “this car, the shape is too strange, the car is not like a car, the off-road vehicle is not like an off-road vehicle, it is really ugly!”
The third reason is that there are too few streets and the quantity of this car is low. If we want to sell it in the future, we will lose a lot.
I have heard too many comments like this before, but in the past two or three years, I have found that more and more people have accepted and liked station wagons, and have recognized them from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that this is a good subdivision of the type of car. and gave a high rating.
530 travel version, I think highly of it, and I already like it very much before I can buy it.
The affection for it originated from a concert by Xu Wei six years ago.
In the winter of 2013, a few weeks before Xu Weicheng’s concert, I received a welfare assignment from the company. Xu Wei will come to Chengdu to do several radio and television interviews. I will act as Xu Wei’s driver and pick him up to various radio and television stations in Chengdu for four days.
It means that I will drive through the streets of Chengdu with Xu Wei and his assistant from morning till night.
At that time, the reception car assigned to me by the company was the BMW 530i travel version.
The reception task was successfully completed, and I not only like Xu Wei and his music more, but also have a new understanding of this 530 travel, and think that this is a very good texture car, this evaluation has been maintained to this day.
Several years later, I found a very good 530 travel version, although I already had a better car, but I was tempted, and begged the owner to sell it to me.
After F11530, I went to the 4S store to do a car inspection, changed the whole car oil, car paint and interior health care, and replaced a set of BMW original 20-inch tire group in the 4S. Such a handsome 530 trip appeared on the streets of Chengdu.
I drive a lot of BMWs, and I have bought three BMWs myself, but the straight six self-priming engine is still my favorite, N20 2.0T 3.0NA N55 3.0T, and N52 BMW. After long-term driving, the most leisurely and linear one is N52. Although there is no V8 thunderous, it is sufficient to use the power reserve to transmit to you continuously from the throttle pedal. It is so balanced and smooth. Coupled with ZF’s 8-speed electronic gearbox, this is a great match. If you have ever driven a turbocharged BMW, you should know very well that this gearbox is really smooth. If you drive this gearbox with a 3.0 naturally aspirated engine, believe me, you will be even more surprised. Except as shown on the tachometer, you can hardly feel the shift, including when driving intensely. Its shift logic is really in line with the driver’s mind. Therefore, BMW’s good driving experience is not only reflected in its accurate steering and chassis technology, but also in the output of power and the intention of the driver.
I have always thought that the driving pleasure of a car is not just a big increase in horsepower and a fast speed. after experiencing many cars, I will understand that high comprehensive quality can reflect the driving fun of a car.
As a standard family car, 530s travel does not reflect its value in my life, because I still have a larger SUV model to bear the household needs, this 530s is more to satisfy my feelings, although I do not drive much, but every time I drive it on the street, I still enjoy it very much, especially after parking, looking at its slender body, I will stop to watch for a while, and sigh how beautiful it is.
F11 this generation of models, the appearance is not amazing, ordinary people will only think that this 5-series, there will not be too much glance. But friends who know BMW and understand this car will really sigh that its design is not brilliant, can not say how good, but also feel that every place is just right, very pleasing to the eye. I really admire the designers of BMW. I used to attend courses in BMW Group. The teacher on the stage said bluntly: the 5 series of F series is mediocre. Why is it mediocre? it is because the 5 series of the previous generation E series is so amazing that it shines as soon as it comes on the market. But the 5 series of F series will make people feel pleasing to the eye at first glance, but then they will like it more and more. This is the skill of designers.
I like to take pictures of the car, but it’s not good. Maybe it doesn’t show the elegant feeling of the car. Please take a look at it.
