Preface

Dreams may be late, but if you work hard, you will never be absent. In your thirties, pay for your feelings again.
When it comes to BMW, as early as many years ago, we had the first generation E903 series and a 2007 in-line six-cylinder 325. I didn’t care much about four or six cylinders at that time. I smiled and smiled just because of the E90325 wheels from the original factory. Later, because of the small household space and minor problems, I resolutely gave up and joined the Japanese legion.
Little brother is not talented, dare not consider the new car, has been wandering in the second-hand circle, mediocre life for a long time, naturally want to find something to do for themselves, after 12 generations of crown, Lexus is300c,14 generation crown, domineering, 13.5 generation crown, I want to make up for the F18 vacancy in my driving career, so that I resolutely sold my carefully maintained 13.5 generation crown (interested cyclists can find my post) After the 13.5 generation is sold, it will be another long and painful process of searching for a car.

Looking for a car

The process of finding a car was too painful. I sat on the No. 11 bus for about half a month, and at the same time, I contributed a lot of money to the Didi industry. I saw no less than 10 F18 525 locally, all of which ended in failure. I also posted on the forum to find a car. The same failure stems from my obsessive-compulsive disorder. I must have a luxury design suit for 14-17 years. White mocha brown interior, transfer of ownership is less, mileage can not be too much, but I have seen the car. Each set is 100000 kilometers, and painting, defects are not to mention, although some people will say that to buy a used car is still so high requirements, I think the money can be spent, but to spend clearly.

Find a car to love

I remember very clearly that it was a rainy day, and in my sleep, a good friend of a car dealership sent me several pictures, plus a short sentence: the car is fine, do you want it?
Excitement to excitement, the details can not be let go, can wait, but can not make up the number.
After detailed communication and preliminary understanding of the car condition, my heart also told myself that this is the F18 525li I want.
This is the first time I have seen it every other time, and my memory is especially fresh. After the car was sold in July 14 and bought by my elder sister in 75, it was transferred to my friend at the beginning of 199. the mileage was only 62,000 kilometers, and I was the third hand.

Pick up a car for thousands of miles-lost in Sichuan

I was in Guangdong and the car was as far away as Sichuan. After three minutes of thinking, I immediately booked a flight to Chongqing. I thought to myself that I wanted to see it myself and told myself that if the car condition did not match, I would like to travel and meet my friends. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the ticket price from Guangdong to Chongqing is only 120 yuan, about a brother of a professional used car, pack his bags and set out.

After arriving in Chongqing, it was more than 8 o’clock in the evening. As the car was in Guang’an, Sichuan Province, which was still more than 100 kilometers away from Chongqing, I stayed in Chongqing for one night. By the way, it was better to see the legendary Hongya Cave than to see it. I would like to like the urban construction of Chongqing.

I got up early the next morning, made an appointment and went straight to Guang’an. This was the first time I saw it with my own eyes. I was a little excited, and my brother worked hard. I looked up and down for no less than 30 minutes. I came to the conclusion that the original paint of the whole car, the front bar and the rear bar were scratched. Is there anyone like me who can accept the original paint scratch when buying a used car and repair it after I get it? I don’t want to buy a car that has been painted? Indoor wear and tear is consistent with the kilometer, the whole car screws, glue strips, the original seal did not move, but a little dirty, just in those days Guang’an has been drizzling weather. The transaction process will not be detailed, in short, it is very enjoyable.

Return journey of thousands of miles-1951 km

Originally, my brother who went with me drove the F18 back to Guangdong, but that night we received the news that we were going back to Chongqing to pick up a Cayenne, so we parted ways.
On the other hand, I opened Gaode Navigation and entered the destination, which showed that it was 1951 kilometers (Guang’an, Sichuan-Shantou, Guangdong). After a whole day of running, car inspection, and trading, I didn’t think much about it. I bought four bottles of Red Bull and two bottles of mineral water and went straight back on the journey.

The first service area, a bowl of noodles soybean paste.

The original factory is equipped with liquid crystal instruments.

Alone, 24 hours, basically sleepless, along the way through numerous tunnels, mountains, lamented the miraculous craftsmanship of nature also like the construction of the motherland at the same time.

Arrive safely

When the car arrives, it first removes the fiery red full-enclosed floor mats, repairs three places of spray paint, then finely washes, pastes the interior with mahogany already prepared TPU repair film, and puts on the 1:1 customized seat cover for the driver and passenger seat, puts in gear, and signs up, so that the process will not be repeated.

Conclusion

Some people may say, is it worth it? when there is a lack of certain seasonings in your life, it is also a very good thing to adjust it properly. Is it worth it? only after you have experienced it do you know that F18 is indeed a car that can be ordered in all aspects of chassis and details in the 5-series. As for oil leakage, jitter and so on, this car has not appeared yet, if these minor problems arise. When I decided to buy a BMW again, I was psychologically prepared, no car is perfect, so do people, choose it, accept it, perfect it.
Thank you for watching.
