Maybe what I said above will be a bit too much. Friends who can’t stand it can start directly from my car selection process. The pictures are all behind. Thank you!
Memories and miscellaneous talks: My younger brother is 21 years old and is now a senior student. He majored in mechanical design, manufacturing and automation. I have loved and loved cars since I was a child. When I was very young, I used to ride a yellow-leather car with my grandma. There were more than a dozen people in the Wuling Hongguang-sized car. I always squeezed to the front to watch the driver drive. From then on, I imagined that I could drive and travel. Later, yellow-leather cars were banned, and I just watched the bus driver drive. At that time, I thought driving was particularly easy, so I just stepped on the accelerator and turned directions. When my family bought my first car in 2008, I still remember the excitement of seeing the new car at that time. Maybe other children liked to look out the window when they were in the car. When I was a child, I loved to look at the driver’s hands and feet. When no one was in the car, I liked to sit in the driver’s seat, barely reach the steering wheel, and shake it hard to think I could take off. This laid the seeds for me to later go to college to choose an engineering major. (Although I found out that what I studied was not related to cars and was not very interested in it, I also accepted the reality that job hunting and major did not match)
Background preparation: Almost the entire senior year of our major in our college is reserved for students to internships outside the school. The students who stayed in school either took postgraduate exams or took public exams. Most of the students who intern went to the factory, and I felt that my temperament was not suitable for staying in the factory. I wanted to enter society as soon as possible, so I started “Hangzhou Piao” alone and insisted on going to a 4s store to sell cars. I wanted to use luxury brands as the starting point for my work, so the first thing that came to mind was BMW. I personally didn’t like Mercedes-Benz and Audi products. I think the prerequisite for selling a good car is to have absolute confidence in my own products, so I decided to go to the BMW 4s store for internship. This also made me have an indissoluble bond with BMW. It laid the foundation for subsequent car purchases. But sales of luxury brands require one hard condition: at least 2 years of car sales experience. However, as a small white man, I didn’t have such a foundation, so I naturally couldn’t be a sales consultant. So I proposed that I should first be a sales front desk, have more contact with customers, improve my communication skills, and see various customers., broaden my horizons. I became a BMW front desk intern.
Car selection process: on August 2 this year, I went to the BMW 4s store to work as a receptionist, and my family opposed it. Only my father said that I was still young and had not seen much of the world. It was always good to learn more and eat more bitterness. It was also said that if there were staff in your store, you could consider buying the car first, and it would be much more convenient to go home with the car. I was thinking about working, the car is not so necessary for me, usually live in the staff dormitory, commute less than 5 minutes to and from work, bought a car can not drive much, want to forget it. But I felt a little itchy in my heart. After all, I didn’t expect my father to talk about buying a car. In fact, when I was a junior in 18 years, I came up with the idea of buying a car. I just wanted to borrow money from my family to buy more than 100,000 cars. I would like to work and then pay my family back. At that time, I saw compact cars like Volkswagen cc, Honda Inspire,MINI, and even Honda Civic and Audi A3. After staying in the store for more than 3 months, I came up with the idea of quitting and starting a new car retail. After communicating with my father, he was very supportive of my idea. I made an agreement with my father: he paid off the car first, and I made money to return it to him in the past three years. So the car selection began. At first, the range of car selection was only the new 3 series. Since I first came to our store, the white new 3 series Sunday night version in the showroom fascinated me secretly. When no customers came into the store, I sat in the car to look at its interior decoration. The sense of technology and luxury was perfectly balanced, and the first feeling that I sat in the back row was that this seat was too soft and comfortable. I personally prefer the soft seat. Support is not that important to me. The new 3 series just right atmosphere lights, cool dashboards, easy to use ID7 system, huge legroom in the back row all scratched my heart to death, not to mention the appearance, the appearance of the G28 generation 3 series looks good to everyone. In August, there was no discount on the 3-series, and the top price was less than 2 weeks less than that of the 525Li. Some people said that it was not as good as the upper 5-series, higher grade and more atmosphere, but I just like the 325Li Evening version, especially when the Bordeaux blue is slightly purple in the sun. After telling my dad what I thought, he suggested that I test-drive it. I came to the store on my day off. I had never driven a BMW before. The first time I opened a 3-Series, I opened it for more than half an hour. I couldn’t stop at all! The responsiveness and precision of the car body when turning made me unable to put down the steering wheel as soon as I opened it. Many people say that this generation of 3 series is not pure, but because I have no comparison before and after, so the feeling is surprisingly accurate, I keep throttle in the end, keep changing lanes, completely immersed in it, that test drive made me more determined to buy 3 series, no price discount can not stop my love for it, and dad said that after the test drive feeling, dad is very rational, he said that he also opened this side in Jiaxing He thought that ok would buy it. Two days later, Dad went to the BMW 4s store in Jiaxing to test drive the 3-Series. After the end, he said that he would get carsick after the 3-Series opened, because the throttle was adjusted too fast, and the throttle quickly loosened the throttle immediately. However, the chassis did have a certain degree of toughness, sound insulation was also very satisfactory, and there was nothing to say about the control. But Dad liked the ultimate comfort and the feeling of sailing. At this time, my father and I had a difference. He thinks that the car should be comfortable. He is not happy to spend more than 40 weeks to buy a car that is uncomfortable to sit on, but I think young people should pay attention to personality movement and extreme manipulation. Unexpectedly, he is even more opposed to buying a 3-series when I say this. He said that you would drive fast on the road like this. It was too dangerous, so you firmly refused to buy this car. Your heart was cold at that time, and your favorite car was the only option in your mind. It was rejected. Over the next few days, I saw the A4 and C classes at Auto House. I was not interested in both cars, an old-fashioned (personal opinion) interior with excessive formaldehyde (I also heard), and a 1.5T plus light mix. It’s best to think about it or the 3-series, and then you get caught up in a difficult choice. Suddenly one day my dad said that he had tried the 5 series, which was much better than the 3 series, more comfortable, more atmospheric, better sound insulation and more luxurious interior decoration. But I did not put the 5 series into my line of sight at all. I thought the 5 series taillights were too ugly, the dashboard function was single, the car system was not easy to use, the interior design was old-fashioned, and other unacceptable shortcomings. Under the encouragement of my father, I opened the driver door of the 530 test drive without expectation, and the throttle made my adrenaline crazy. This is the experience that 325Li’s low-power engine can’t bring to me! I’ve been surrounded by fans! Really fragrant, after the test drive, I feel that the responsiveness of the 530Li steering is much slower than that of the 3-Series, but the power is very good to make up for this deficiency, coupled with the fact that I have a requirement for comfort, especially sound insulation, the 5-Series once again gives me a reason to forget the 3-Series. The final entanglement is the ID6 system, there is no new 3 series so handsome dashboard, I am not willing to point, coincidentally, 5 series September change! Added ID7 system! Perfect! In addition, BMW has a certain faith bonus for me, so we didn’t even see the E-Class, A6lForce S90, Lincoln Continent, Lexus ES (a car that Dad loved so much, really handsome), and decided on the 5-Series. Dad came to the store to book a car on October 13th, 2020 530Li leading sports, outer carbon black, inner volcanic red, added 11200 personalized options: entertainment set (including Harman audio and gesture control) and front seat electric waist support, October 31st production car (no car! ). Members of the family do not need to ask if there is an employee price, no just a little less decoration, but also did not send anything, the 5-series market is relatively strong, I am also very relieved about the price to buy this car. I began a long process of waiting for the bus. I looked at the library table several times a day to see if there was any updated information. I finally realized the eagerness to see my family friends waiting for the bus in the forum. Later, the library table showed that my car was originally offline on the 31st and turned into the offline on the 28th. This gave me a shot in the arm, thinking day and night looking forward to his coming. As a result, the bus arrived on the evening of November 6th. When I went to work on November 7th, I learned that the car had arrived. I immediately ran out to have a look, the white lid has not been lifted, because it rained the night before, the paint is still hanging rain beads, so handsome!

Since we do not need to go through mortgage procedures or wait for bank approval to buy a full car, we can pick up the car on the same day when we are reasonable. I can’t wait. I want to drive him that day, so I especially thank my brother Cao, who has been busy for most of the day and completed all the car pick-up formalities. I also summoned the sales partners to give me the most grand delivery ceremony in the history of our store, which is really quite unforgettable! Getting to know such a group of fun co-workers and friends in my first internship is my biggest gain here. I compare it to my lovely colleagues manually. (if you see it, remember to give me a post.)

The two rows of sales consultants can be said to be very stylish! Guys put down their work and ran from the office area to the delivery area a hundred meters away to do the delivery ceremony for me. Don’t ask why there is only one firework, because the other one was accidentally broken by the sales consultant.

On the 7th, I picked up the car and took him out for a walk after work at 05:30. The tire pressure of 2.8made my ass a little unbearable. He left on the 14th and returned to his familiar hometown on the 15th to start an Internet business.

Sheer Driving Pleasure

The 19-inch air-deficient guaranteed tire made me careful not to exceed 20 yards every time I crossed the potholed road. Although I don’t have the concept of bulging, it’s always right to take precautions. Although this new wheel is not as stunning as the old one, it is better than being able to look at it.

Now I feel that the bumper is empty when it is not on the card.

The days without a license were really enjoyable, and I didn’t care about the so-called running-in period. I stepped on the third Ring Road to the end, and the sense of pushing back was unstoppable. The roar forwarded by the engine 6k will constantly stimulate you to continue to step on it. 170 in the blink of an eye on the high-speed throttle, the speed in the latter section is smooth and fast, and the body feeling is not so strong, but the actual speed is rising very fast. The acceleration is much weaker after 170. (everyone, please drive safely. I’m on the card now, and I’m an honest man again. Those who obey the traffic rules are good drivers.)

With traffic control 12123App, you can have the opportunity to choose your favorite license plate, but once you select it, you can’t change it, otherwise it will be blacklisted by the software. Attention, everyone.

The hand feel of the steering wheel is my favorite, and the feedback and strength are extremely smooth, which is rarely seen in any other car I have driven.

It turns out that playing cards looks better! Blow out the spoon lamp! M-kit! That’s awesome!

If it is not for the real car with volcanic red interior decoration, my understanding of the 5 series still stays in the old-fashioned interior decoration. In fact, even a middle-aged mature uncle might as well consider this color. Don’t worry about being too ostentatious. Especially in the evening atmosphere surrounding the lamp set off under the volcanic red, that kind of texture will be absolutely unstoppable.

For those of you who like to listen to music or pursue sound quality, I strongly recommend that you choose Harman stereo, 5-series Hamanga gesture control of 9000 pieces, 16 loudspeakers, although like other Haman products, the sound is hard, but fortunately the sound field is very wide, the bass is just right, will not be boring, have a certain degree of flexibility, is still in the cooking stage, I believe there are more potential in the follow-up. Listening to guitar music and human voice is very suitable. Playing teacher Cai Qin’s song can hear more details of the sound, and the guitar string sweeping sounds very crisp. I have also heard the original car stereo, and that feeling really cannot be compared with Harman. Even fungus can hear a relatively obvious gap. At that time, there was a 530 executive car with Baohua stereo. Personally, I think it sounds more limited than Hamann’s promotion. So generally speaking, I think the 5 series Harman stereo is definitely worth it, and it is not recommended to install it outside in the later stage. First of all, it is not cheap to install it in the later stage. In addition, there are still a lot of fake Harman in the market, and if the construction technology is not good, it is also easy to make a noise, which is very troublesome.

At present, there will be a setback in 1 liter and 2 gearboxes, probably because the gearbox is still in the learning stage, and the shift after the second gear can not be detected. After opening the Sport mode and hanging into the S gear, each up and down gearbox can create a sense of intrusiveness, sonorous and forceful, full sense of combat, and the shift with a pick is also a quick shift, the response is not muddy at all, and the B48 sound line at high speed is very good, without the thin feeling that some people talk about. After 5500 revolutions, the sound of the engine has been completely released, which is exciting. The sound of the engine at about 2,500 revolutions can hardly be transmitted into the cockpit, and the 5 series has worked hard on the sound insulation of the engine. (it may also be the reason why I often listen to music.)

The atmosphere lights in 6 colors and 11 combinations fully meet my needs. What’s interesting is that I think the best time for this atmosphere lamp is when the color changes manually and the color changes instantaneously.

Because the leading version of the air-conditioning panel has physical control buttons underneath, it has an advantage over the exclusive version of the full-touch control screen in that it is not easy to crack the screen after exposure. This air-conditioning display displays white fonts during the day and orange fonts like the button lights at night. Good comments for details!

The atmosphere lights during the day make it difficult to detect their presence, but they are still very bright at night, provided that you need to turn the brightness of the atmosphere lights to the highest level.

The map in the middle of the dashboard cannot synchronize Carplay navigation, so it is more formal than practical. I hope this can be supported in later system updates. After all, almost no one uses car navigation these days.

Poor interns only add 300 yuan each time they refuel, which is about half a small square.

Special thanks to all those who supported me, my family, colleagues, friends, especially my father, who gave me many support and help in the process of choosing a car. The main purpose of writing this post is to share my car life. I think the meaning of a car is far more than a means of transportation. For me, it is more of an art of life. I have placed his vivid soul and I am willing to regard him as my good friend. He will accompany me on the road to youth to overcome obstacles and move forward bravely. I also believe that he will bring me good luck? Still young, dare to fight hard! Thank you all for taking the time to read it! Can I write more about it when I have time to share more cars? Stay tuned! My family friends can also ask me if they have car problems, and I am happy to answer them for everyone. Good night, everyone!
