Evolution history of family car
— American Ford Mondeo won in 2012 (2.0t vortex increase)
— 2014 American Chevrolet Malibu (BYD replacement / 1.6t Swift / Pop’s car)
Japanese Honda Odyssey in 2019 (Chevrolet replacement / 2.4L self-priming Earth Dream / Pop’s car)
— 2019 German BMW 5 Series (3.0t vortex increase)
“there is also a little selfishness in giving in to life” was quoted from netizen S Kung Fu Panda S’s reply.
In 2008, a chance to drive the company leader’s ambition for 3 days, including long-distance road, 6-cylinder engine + rear drive deeply bought the seeds in my heart, before I entered middle age, I must have a 6-cylinder engine, if possible, preferably rear drive.
Select a car
1. Model determination: I like functional products, and I have a 7-seat mpv at home, so I must choose between the suv or the car. After driving a suv for a week, I felt wobbly. In addition to sitting high, having a good view, and being comfortable, I was not as good as a car in terms of driving feeling, sitting sense, and space for riding in the same class, so I locked the car because I didn’t like cross-country.
2. Functional requirements: the current two cars in the family are equipped with an 18-model Odyssey (invincible space, invincible function), so this one has to choose a car that usually drives more than itself, occasionally drives happily, and occasionally takes the sons to and from school, and occasionally buys food in the market. It is a comprehensive nanny car that belongs to IKEA, business, sports and shopping. This naturally excludes the “small steel guns” of different ages and narrow space, as well as the bench systems of Mpower, amg43, rs and other series of power supremacy at the same price (after test driving several, wife and children are no longer allowed to sit).
3. Power demand: the car can not run fast, but can not run fast. My last car was an 11 Mondeo winning 2t bought in 12 years, and the power of that year was also commendable in the cross-class, so there was a certain demand for power within the scope of capacity, and the next car must be greater than 2t. And according to the development of the automobile industry, the engine is getting smaller and smaller and gradually tends to new energy, and it is estimated that gasoline cars within a million tons will be very durable to drive to 3t in the future. It may not matter to young people. But for me, who has experienced the era of high-displacement gasoline cars, I do not want to leave any regrets.
4. Level determination: the previous B class, this time on top of this. Looked at the D-class 3t, which has a much better budget than the 540i, and ruled out the D-class cars with 2t at the same price (the empty shell that can’t run, the space is not as big as the Odyssey, the personal sociability is less, and there is no need to save face).
5. Brand determination: test-drive Mercedes-Benz E, Audi A6L, Thunder car E300h (none of them have 3t test drive).
The test drive of the Mercedes-Benz E300L subverted my perception of this brand. The sense of clumsiness of driving and the sudden frustration of changing gears were brought into full play. I estimate that more than 400,000 of the 2t 350L bought a car logo and the rest bought something else. Besides, the touted interior individual felt that women would like it more, but I really couldn’t stand the thick black edge, narrow and long screen of the central control, which was too piao. I seem to have seen fake products when tablet smartphones were not on the market more than a decade ago. Ah ~ originally like this brand (those reports about the quality of Mercedes-Benz are almost ignored, I think it is an exception), it still seems to have nothing to do with it.
Mine car ES300h after-sales worry-free, driving like Mercedes-Benz, but the cvt gearbox put an end to the shift setback greatly improved comfort, but it reminds me of the same cvt Odyssey, very steady but lack of passion, can not satisfy me with a small sports selfishness.
— the test drive of Audi A6L45tfsi almost made me choose this brand, driving lighter (but heavier than the previous generation), shifting frustration control is not bad, the goal is 55tfsi, because the price is directly 20% discount (landing within 50w), 3tV6 + 48v light mix, 4-wheel drive, new sports cover appearance, new technology feel interior decoration, gray optional, 20-inch rims and other factors, when I have not tested the cash 5-series, I can hardly refuse I was going to tell me that there was no gray car at the fixed time on the spot, and then all the 4s stores in Shanghai called to look for the cash car, but there were basically none, and it would take at least 2 months to wait.
The BMW 5-Series test drive was extended by 2t in the previous generation of domestic 5-Series several years ago. At that time, I felt that the driving comfort was good, the chassis was heavy, but the car body was large and the corners were clunky, so I didn’t like it very much. The 5 series of this generation only saw the existing car in 4s, still did not have time to test drive, and the accumulated experience was only based on online reviews and word-of-mouth. The goal is the 2020 540i, which adds two frosted original car colors and id7 machines, and the frosted polar gray looks all over Shanghai for 4s. The fastest is that this production schedule needs to wait nearly 3 months.
6. The final decision: it finally falls on the 55tfsi gray sports model of A6l and the imported standard axis 540i. Due to the car landing price difference of more than one hundred thousand, it began to tend to the gray movement to surround the 3t Audi A6L, but because of the similar booking situation of the BMW Audi mentioned above, I made a final decision with my wife (if there is no present car, spend 500000 on a domestic Audi, it is better to spend 650000 on an imported BMW, and so on. Don’t worry about it. Buy a satisfactory one and regret it later). It seems that women’s views on BMW Audi are really different, but it is also my wife who knows what I really like. I recalled the feeling of test-driving Audi (in fact, I never test-drove this generation of 5-Series before I decided, but the extended A6L driving feeling really can’t satisfy my little selfishness 100%), and the only thing that can satisfy me is “it”.
Facts have proved to be the right choice. Ward’s top ten in-line six-cylinder B58B20C’s 3t machine comes from Germany’s Dingefen (also imported BMW in Africa and BMW in South America, but fortunately missed). The driving feeling is definitely different from 2t or domestic lengthening. Some media say it is better to buy the essence of M5LI WTF! it doesn’t hurt to stand up and talk! Poor money! ).
original
I was asked to choose a 730 at the same price, but I refused because I didn’t want to be a man in a suit.
I was asked to choose the M power bench at the same price, but I refused because I didn’t want to be isolated by my wife and children.
The car can not run fast, but can not run fast, 540i suit thug nanny artifact.
Headlights-appearance
When it comes to the evolution of 5-series headlights, I am filled with emotion.
When I was a student, I often saw yellow or white round “angel eyes” cars galloping on the road. I don’t have to guess that it was a BMW, a classic. Later turned into a spoon lamp, although the personal feeling of a little less pure classic, but
-basement color body
When it comes to the 5 series taillights, I am filled with emotion again.
The previous generation of 5-series three-bar taillights made me feel like angel wings, very beautiful, cash taillights turned into two bars, the effect during the day is general, but machete taillights look very when lit at night
Car color-appearance
The standard axis air assembly that surrounds the sports kit makes the wind resistance coefficient of the cash an astonishing 0.22C, compared with the reference 2021 modified 5 series wind resistance factor of 0.27. is this an improvement or a retrogression?
Details-appearance
Goodyear’s explosion-proof tires are quiet and drive well, and the blue caliper is a bright spot, which is said to be made by some Brambo (which is not important to me).
— the details of the paint are very satisfactory. I originally thought that the frosted color was like a frosted color change film, and the surface was also uneven, but fortunately it was smooth and textured.
-A beautiful corner of the rear lobe
Driving Mode-Night scene
Energy-saving mode: instantly become a “Honda” (because my family has a 2.4L Earth Dream + CVT Odyssey to compare, almost the same), regardless of acceleration is very linear and smooth, without any sudden feeling, but the lack of the lightness and pleasure of BMW, but I usually prefer this model, while listening to music while driving is very comfortable.
— Sports mode (there are no photos at present, because there is no chance to take a quiet picture after unsealing this mode, there will be a chance to make it up later): this mode also contains a more burst engine and a separate “motion +” adjustment of the gearbox (after adjustment, the on-board computer turns the engine and gearbox red). After unsealing this mode, the wings of the seat back are automatically tightened (tightness can be customized according to fat and thickness), and the steering wheel becomes very sharp. The throttle is deeper and the revolutions are increased waiting for an instant burst at any time. It’s like WTF! this mode is seldom used because I am a nanny ^ _ ^.
