I seldom post, but sometimes come to the forum to have a look after booking a car, and ask Shanghai Old Cheng to check the frame number to express his thanks again. In short, I got a lot of useful information from the forum. So share your own experience after picking up the car. I hope it will be helpful to those who want to buy the BMW 5 series.

Toyota Crown Salon has been with me for more than a decade, and the car is really good. There is basically no extra repair cost except for routine maintenance and fragile parts (self-paid repairs: a brake light, a fuel pump (the fuel pump is not broken, people in the 4S store say there is a sound, the price is only more than 1000, so it has been changed), there is a problem: the surface of the dashboard and glove box is cracked, as if that batch of cars had this problem. But after all, the car time is long, the sound insulation effect is not as good as before, more importantly, do not support USB, want to listen to music need to burn their own CD or DVD, it is really inconvenient, so decided to change cars.

In the past, I was thinking about the LEXUS RX or LS. I mainly thought that the quality of the Japanese car was reliable and there was nothing wrong with it, but the front face of LEXUS was a bit exaggerated and didn’t like it very much. In addition, I bought an X5 abroad six years ago, and there has been no problem for the past six years. I have also learned from my friends that BMW brilliance is a global demonstration factory of BMW, and its production quality has no problem, so it is decided to 530Li.

When choosing luxury or administrative luxury, if you consider installing Baohua Weijian speakers, the price of administrative luxury is more cost-effective (administrative luxury is much more expensive than luxury, Baohua Weijian + active cruise + starry skylight, equipped with Bauer Weijian is 36000, active cruise is 10000, while administrative luxury is only 43000 more than luxury), 4S shop suggests that luxury is enough, it is estimated that there is a car on hand. But I want to install the engine remote start and 8900 yuan of driving safety assistance (X5 optional, lane maintenance, lane change warning, etc., I think it is very useful), BMW traffic recorder, anyway, I have to book a car, so I finally chose administrative luxury, equipped with engine remote start + driving safety assistance. The driving recorder later chose the BMW second-generation driving recorder recommended by the 4S store. I found this product on the BMW official website (4S store quoted price 3800), but the car was not in stock, and then installed after the arrival of the goods.
With regard to BBA, A has never been considered, but BENZ has considered it. The reason why there is no choice is
1. I tend to be luxurious and don’t choose sports, but Mercedes-Benz luxury is a landmark. I don’t like it very much, but I like the big standard of sports, which is a bit contradictory.
2. I like the big screen, but I prefer the vertical screen of BMW

When I went to the Shanghai Auto Show, there were so many people at the booth that the reception was from the 4S store near the pavilion, so I left the pavilion and went directly to the 4S store. The 4S people arranged a test drive, estimated the price of the old car and quoted the price of the new car. On the way home, I passed by another 4S store and quoted a price and estimated the price of the old car. In this way, we have a basic idea of the price of new and old cars. Finally chose the 4S store closest to home, got their offer, gave their own target price, they agreed, and booked the car.
So the car booked at the end of April arrived at the end of June. But the reduction, the cancellation of the digital key, mobile phone wireless charging, 4S store refunded part of the money.

There are many pictures sent by other friends on the Internet, but there are not many pictures of cars here. The focus is on the introduction pictures of My BMW APP behind.
With regard to the car situation, there are the following points:
1. Active cruise function
The executive version includes active cruising, which is more than I expected (no wonder many friends recommend 5AU).
-the speed limit can be identified. After identifying the new speed limit, you will be prompted whether to set the new speed limit. Just press the SET key.
-after active cruising according to the set speed limit, the distance to the car in front can be adjusted through the keys of the steering wheel
Miraculously, after the front brake stops, the car also stops, and the car will move forward automatically after moving forward again, and you can hold the steering wheel without intervention.
-acceleration, deceleration and braking are all slow and well controlled
-not on the highway, on the ordinary road, after the car stops in front of the red light, it looks like the car does not move forward automatically, the dashboard has a hint to start, try again later
2. Seat adjustment
-there are many parts that can be adjusted, such as height, front and rear, waist, shoulder, thigh support, etc., what’s more, when the hand touches the adjustment key, the central control screen will automatically appear the seat picture and highlight the adjustment part of the touch button. The rear seat can also be adjusted, in addition to the button adjustment, but also through the 7-inch plate on the armbox, of course, this plate can also adjust lighting, air conditioning and so on.
3. For the use and sharing of other convenient functions, friends who know can skip it, and those who don’t know can try it themselves.
-there are two buttons at the top of the lever on the left, one is the BC key, which toggles and displays the contents of the middle right side of the LCD dashboard, such as driving mode, average fuel consumption, power torque, etc., and the other is the automatic headlight function: the lights in front will be automatically detected at night, turn off or turn on the headlights
-1-7 digits on the right side of the volume adjustment button, you can set shortcut modes, such as navigating home, navigating to work, calling your wife, etc., of course, these can also be realized by voice control.
-the top of the iDrive knob can be handwritten, and the Chinese setting is still good.
-Mode button on the left side of the volume button: you can choose playback devices: radio, QQ Music, mobile phone (Bluetooth connected), USB device
-360 camera: whether forward or backward, it will automatically display an enlarged image when it is very close to the front and rear obstacles, which is great!
-automatic engine start and stop: you can press the lower part of the engine start and stop button to turn off this function.
-HUD shows the speed limit on the left side of the actual speed, and there is a reminder of speeding, which is quite good, as shown in the following figure.

If you find anything else, add it.

I believe that car owners and friends should download and activate My BMW APP, this APP should be good. I use the Android version, which may be different from the Apple version.

The main functions of this APP:
I. Vehicle status monitoring
1. Display fuel quantity/drivable kilometers
2. Status of doors and windows
3. Condition of engine oil
4. Service information: When to change oil, brake fluid, etc.

2. Vehicle positioning: Display the current position of the vehicle

You can see the situation around the car on your mobile phone through the remote camera (remote 3D view). After selecting the Update View button, the APP first connects to the vehicle, takes photos (the two folded rear-view mirrors will be unfolded), and then generates a 3D view. View images in all directions of the car through touch operations. This shouldn’t be in real time, but a photo from the last time the 3D view was updated. See the figure below for details.
To use this function, you need to set it in the car. The specific method is prompted in the APP.

In addition to the data monitoring above, the mobile APP can also:
1. lock the car
2. unlock
3. lighting
4. whistle
5. Automatic ventilation (scheduled engine start: at least 10 minutes in advance)

You can send your favorite or queried destinations to your mobile phone in the APP’s map and directly use them as navigation destinations, as shown below:

In the APP’s connected store, you can also view the services you have subscribed to and the duration:

1. Map update package: 3 years
2. Remote software upgrades: 10 years
3. Smart emergency call service: 10 years
4. Remote maintenance services: 10 years
5. Apple Mobile Internet: Long-term

When booking a car, there was a BMW option for 1800 yuan. I chose the BMW Original 2nd Generation Driving Recorder recommended by 4S, so I didn’t choose this one. This 1800 yuan one can only record 20S videos before and after the accident.

However, in the connected driving store-subscribable service in the mobile APP, the driving recorder application was found:

12 months: 398 yuan
72 months: 1998 yuan

I wonder if it is the same thing as the 1800 yuan option before booking a car? I called BMW’s official number, but they didn’t know.
If you have any friends who know, please reply!

At present, we welcome criticism and correction if there is anything wrong with these contents. If you have any other questions, I will be happy to answer them if I know them.
Thank you!
