Write in the preface

Life can not be more satisfactory, everything is only half satisfactory. When you reach middle age, you are lucky to be able to realize everything and be half satisfied. How much can the white jade be flawless? This is the case with people, and so is the car. In the end, the car is no longer just a toy for a big boy, but with the change of age and identity, the car in hand also bears more responsibilities and obligations. Now the change of car is also to better meet the needs of the family’s travel space. In addition, last year, I partnered with my friend 4/50 8 to do a new thing, and I had a lot of money, which strengthened my idea of changing cars. Of course, I also have a deep affection for 5 series in the past two years.

I have been carrying the car for two years, and I haven’t written a good homework for my car. Now I plan to say goodbey with it. If I don’t commemorate it, I won’t have a chance. Take advantage of the fact that there is no one in the shop in the afternoon, pick up your pen and say goodbye to BMW 530i xDrive, who has been with me for two years.

Let’s start with the advantages of this generation of 5 series:
1. Only with the 5 Series in Sport mode can you feel the so-called BMW control by word of mouth, and it is better to have M package.
2. I personally feel that the active safety design of science and technology and humanization can compete with Volvo. Reversing collision detection active braking is a rare good thing for the majority of drivers, which can greatly help new and old drivers to avoid scratching caused by misjudged distance. (partially optional)
3. HUD is good, but when you look up, you are in a good mood. The head-up display screen is something you can’t go back to if you use it. (optional)
4. Although the Driving Assistance system is an L1 autopilot at best, it is very helpful for the occasional accident such as dropping your mobile phone at high speed that you have to free your hands for a short time. In any case, you should be reminded to drive carefully and concentrate. (optional)
5. Interior atmosphere lamp, RGB loves things poisoned by good parties, but it is a pity that LED horse racing is not allowed on the market, otherwise it will be a mobile disco.
6. If the phone is connected to Bluetooth or CarPlay, the pick-up microphone in the car is really clear, and the success rate of converting Wechat language to text recognition is very high, not to mention sending voice messages directly using the car microphone.
7. The space in the back seat is as spacious as that of SUV.
8. North America’s “My BMW” mobile phone software can perform a lot of remote operations, vehicle GPS positioning (anti-theft deterrent), 3D View is also a bit of a high-tech configuration (as long as you subscribe to traffic).
9. As Audi users for many years have different feelings compared with Quattro and xDrive, there is no special feeling for xDrive to make full-time all-wheel drive and front-rear drive versions. Considering that the purchase of all-wheel drive is mainly to deal with snow, no feeling is probably the best feeling.

Let’s talk about what I personally think is a disadvantage:
1. As the B462.0L turbocharged four-cylinder, eight-gear variable speed version, except for the Sport mode, the starting speed is relatively slow in other driving modes, which is in line with the concept of business administrative driving. To improve the driving experience, it’s easy to go directly to the 540i plus M-suite air suspension, but after all, the famous slogan of 2019 Asians is “poor ha”.
2. The BMW 5 series weighs about 2 tons, if it is not for the upgrade of M-kit calipers, otherwise the brakes are a little fleshy, which is not as linear as the standard Mercedes and Audi brakes. I occasionally have to step on the high-speed deceleration, feeling that this car is too powerful, as if it is much heavier than the same class A6 or Mercedes-Benz E.
3. The rear box is embedded in the rear wheel to compress a considerable amount of space, which is indeed a little small for small families. Volvo S90 trunk can hold my two 30-inch trailers solidly and horizontally, which can only be one and a half. If you put the baby’s cart, you can only buy a la cart, and if you want to buy two more boxes of water, it will be a bit tough.
4. The reversing radar alarm is so loud that it can not be turned off. Almost backing into the garage is a crazy reminder that “it’s time to stop”. It’s easy to wake up children and sleepy passengers.
5. Cheng and Xiao, the serious problem with “My BMW” app is that it can only record the condition of the vehicle when you stopped the last time, and cannot update it in real time. Unless you wait until the next time you start, you will report that the tire pressure is too low as soon as you enter the door with a nail in the tire. The mobile phone App has been All Good until it starts. The whole operation can be logically better. In addition, 3D View can only produce pictures, not video surveillance like Tesla, let alone the anti-villain function of collision trigger video. At the same time, the software can not completely replace the remote startup, can not heat up the car in advance.
6. This generation of 5-series CarPlay cannot be full-screen.
7. Finally, I was speechless. At the beginning, Sales said that the 2020 5-Series should not have changed much, that is, a small modification of the seventh generation model. As a result, when the new car arrived at the store, it was found that the new car had been completely fooled. The LCD screen in the interior dashboard alone left me speechless. Consumption really could not be impulsive, and I had to do more homework research.

Appearance part

BMW’s classic Chris Bangle double waistline is obvious from this angle.

The camera sensor under the rearview mirror.

The wing vents of the shark gills.

Bangle’s classic design opens the corner of the eye with willow eyebrows.

The 530i version of LED adaptive headlights still retain the shape of hexagonal “angel eyes”, which is probably my most typical impression of BMW before. Compared with the sixth-generation models, the seventh-generation 5-series headlights have a longer eye-opening design, making the front face of the car look more flat and spacious. On the other hand, the 540i and above have been changed into a radical “double 3” light belt, and when it comes to the 5 series of the 2022 model, it has more fully drawn lessons from the sky of the competitor’s lamp factory, completely embraced the “full bedroom L” laser headlamp and claimed to share the laser headlamp lighting scheme with Rolls-Royce, but as the owner of the 5-series car at the present stage, I have reservations about the official distance detection of 650m. At least there is no obvious difference in the switching effect of my 19 adaptive headlamps in daily use. In the case of less traffic and no lights on the road in the suburbs late at night, especially when driving at high speed, the field of vision is more general. Maybe the new model has made a great leap forward in technology.

“King Kong glaring”, BMW Angel Eye is the powerful headlamp design second only to Volvo’s Thor Hammer in my heart, just like the Sound Logo with the last two “Dong Dong” knocking water pipes in BMW ads, I would like to call it BMW’s classic “Beam Logo”.

More than 19-inch 635 wheels are selected, which is less athletic and more stable. At the beginning, I chose a wheel hub cover of a floating car, which was searched on a lot of treasure, but also with luminous.

Standard tire Pirelli Cinturato P7 four-season tire, 245 tyres wide, there is a good handling grip, but the tire noise heard in the driver’s seat + wind noise can only be reluctantly accepted, the overall performance can only be said to be decent.

Four-door handlebar lights.

Double exhaust vents.

Rearview camera.

The trunk provides: 1. Only close the trunk 2. Close the trunk and lock the car two buttons to close the box, very humanized.

Angel eyes of the night.

The taillights have not changed much several times, and the taillights of the sixth generation are almost the same in shape except for being longer and flatter.

Interior part

BMW’s so-called luxury will not be like that of Mercedes-Benz (especially after the release of the new C, C-E-S ‘s domineering LCD dashboard is really poisonous), and the family design language is well balanced. The enamelling process of the previous generation of models has not completely disappeared in the configuration of the seventh generation. But what BMW plays is the upgrading integration of metal texture chrome plating and enamelled buttons, aiming at Audi visually as a whole, adopting a more youthful language design.

Equipped with 464w Logic 7 Surround Sound, Harman Catton stereo with 600W power amplification can only be said to make people love and hate. Although the whole car is equipped with 16 stereos, I feel that in addition to listening to classical symphonies with better FM sound sources, in SQ or Hip-Hop with obvious lossless sound quality, the expressive force of other schools such as Renewal Bjazz and Popjazz is relatively general, compared with Bauer Weijian or Blossom O, or even Fender with Volkswagen ALTAS high configuration. Harman Catton for my “fungus” is only a little higher than the original, but it is still a little worse than the music sanctuary in my heart. In terms of sound insulation, there is a significant gap between Lexus and the 5 Series, so much so that sometimes I even think it would be better to turn off Logic 7.

Post a few recommendations of Harman Catton FM from school on Douyin, which is probably better than the default.

One of the most magical functions of the electronic control of this seat is the “back width adjustment”, that is, adjusting the back of the seat and finally clamping your back, which makes people feel as if there is a strong sense of support, while the front passenger seat has a headrest lift button, which is more likely to cause panic by mistake.

The space in the back row is relatively abundant, after installing the safety seat, you can still sit two adults, and the armbox in the middle will not be hindered. The boss position is fixed to the baby, which is one of the destinies that almost every middle-aged man cannot escape. with the promotion of domestic legislation on child safety seats, whether the rear row space can be applied to the child seat and does not affect the space has also become a question that every nanny must consider.

The headrest in the middle seat in the back row is a little high and occasionally blocks the view.

Read the headlight in the back row.

As an administrative 5-series, the back row comfort is essential, the rear seat control panel in addition to two small partitions, two car sockets, the basic air conditioning wind direction, temperature adjustment, the seat can also be heated, very good to meet the needs of the whole family in winter.

Welcome pedal and welcome lamp

Storage box space can only be said to be general, storage space is relatively small has almost become a common problem of several generations of 5 systems.

Wireless charging tray, generally do not use to charge, mobile phone wireless charging for a long time will still be very hot.

The microphone above the driver’s seat, not bad!

The average fuel consumption is about 10.3 per 100km of 9.7km/L. I don’t know how to get the average fuel consumption of the new 22 5 series announced on BMW’s official website.

Several cold days this steering wheel heating function with the whole car air conditioning + seat heating, the old cold leg must be a good prescription.

A top light in the shape of butterfly wings.

The central armbox has very little storage space.

The car fragrance that my wife likes.

Functional part

The new iDrive floating window interface is much stronger than the technological sense of the previous generation. Facing the screen, you can use gestures to control things like bulls across the mountain, and there is a gesture detection and recognition sensor in the top light, but I don’t think it is very easy to use, the response is not very accurate, and it is not as straightforward as the physical keys.

The new generation of interactive system is very pleasing on the 10.2inch touchscreen, and the built-in BMW map navigation with HUD can only be said to smell good.

Switch to Sport motion mode, and even the display mode of the dashboard has changed.

Switch to Sport motion mode, and even the display mode of the dashboard has changed.

The SOS button is something that few people want to use.

The 5 series ambient lights are equipped with about 10 sets of preset color choices, so free RGB is impossible.

Reversing image, can be switched between multiple cameras of the whole car, full-screen display or split-screen + 360 panoramic + reversing radar assistance.

3D View can also achieve real 360 field of vision coverage.

Some of the other security options are selected.

HUD with its own map navigation performance, and after turning off HUD, the dashboard will assume part of the navigation function.

When passing the toll station, you will take the initiative to prompt that the GPS positioning is very accurate.

HUD will also show autopilot assist on.

Anti-glare rearview mirror and blind area vehicle radar prompt

The kick sensor switch function of the trunk is necessary to buy food, but the sensitivity is some touching, easy to use when it is easy to use, and sometimes it does not move like a mountain.

All right, let’s stop here. Sitting in front of the computer all afternoon is really sore back. I admire those families who talk at length about their homework. Finally, I hope you will support me a lot!
