Experience of long-term use

It has been 10 months since I got the car. I bought a 530Li M premium and drove a lot of cars. I am quite familiar with this car.
As a car with a length of more than 5 meters, its driving experience is still in the middle and upper reaches. After all, with BMW’s control genes, it is easier to use in all aspects, but it cannot be compared with sports cars, and its positioning is different after all.
Manipulation:
The directivity is more accurate, the steering wheel is not hypocritical, the sense of road is clear, and the BMW M steering wheel feels comfortable and firm.
Turning a corner or changing lanes depends on how the individual drives. My driving habit is between stable and fierce, normal high-speed corners, my speed is basically more than 70, the original factory shock roll is still quite obvious, but in the acceptable range, even if the speed of 80-90 corners, there will not be skidding out of control and other phenomena. Flat is to encounter a sharp bend, the speed of more than 60, there will be weak tire grip insufficient, but does not affect the normal safety. Generally speaking, the original factory shock absorber is certainly not suitable for fierce driving, coupled with this body parameter, high-speed corner with obvious roll is also a normal phenomenon, after all, you can’t have both fish and bear paw. If you change lanes at a high speed, you still have to see whether the lane-changing speed is fast. If you change lanes in an emergency, there will still be obvious shaking, but it will be adjusted soon. Generally speaking, it is not far from the integration of people and cars mentioned by BMW. I often change lanes and overtake at high speed. Compared with cars with the same price and location, it is quite smooth.
High-speed stability, normal high-speed driving, the car is still quite stable, but in case of strong wind, too large cars, or to grasp the steering wheel, which should be most cars can not be avoided.
Power, 2.0T high power, the original factory state, the power is certainly enough, speed overtake, rub more than. However, the power of this matter varies from person to person, depending on personal needs, at first I think the original factory power can fully meet my daily driving, or quite satisfied, the power of the front and back can meet me. Open for a period of time, the power of the original factory has no feeling, no excitement at all.
Comfort:
Chassis, the original factory shock absorber, over the pit speed reducer, will not feel stiff, will not feel the Japanese car soft comfort, but the rebound is very in place, will not produce too much sloshing, generally speaking, this set of shock absorber is still comfortable, in line with the positioning of this car.
Sound insulation noise reduction, this generation of 5 series sound insulation noise reduction I think we should praise, do very well, low speed, the car is very quiet, high speed, the wind noise is relatively small, mainly a little more tire noise, after all, it is anti-blowout tire, so I also did a wheel arch sound insulation.
The seat, this seat is in a soft situation, but not very soft, but a little softer than its direct competitor. One point that needs to be criticized is that there is no need to delay a car at this price. For me, who often drives long distances, I still need to take off my waist.
Appearance, interior decoration and other aspects do not want to say, this everyone’s requirements and aesthetic are different, to rely on their own feelings.
To sum up, I think most of the people who bought this car were still struggling with another car, its direct competitor. In addition to the sense of luxury, I think it is not as good as it, the other basically win. This car for me, for this price, the overall is quite satisfactory, its shortcomings I think it can be ignored.

Take some unaltered photos and recall them.

From this point of view, it is still more commercial.

The carbon black under the sun is more textured.

The side shape is partial to the movement.

When it comes to modification, we should start from the front lip tail, it is from here to enter the pit, and then exhaust, so step by step into the modification pit.

A long way to refit

The front lip and tail are ready to get on the bus.

Sende exhaust arrives

Get ready to get in the car

The workmanship looks good.

Briefly talk about the feeling of use, the sound is really OK, the performance-to-price ratio is very high, it is good to use it at the beginning, the valve is closed quietly, and the sound of opening the valve is more explosive. After using it for a period of time, it was dismantled because of some problems and used back to the original factory.

I originally wanted to paste invisible car clothes, but later I thought that the color change film could protect the car paint and change the color. I did not hesitate to paste the color change film, but I finally chose the electro-optic titanium ash because of the color for a long time.

The appearance of the electro-optic titanium ash is not finished yet.

Don’t stop taking pictures. Friends you meet on the way can, Didi, Didi ~

The price of carbon fiber in the net, front lip, tail lip, tail wing when pasting the film.

The sequins of the leaf board have also been replaced with carbon fiber.

The tail lip of the MP model has been replaced later because it is damaged.

Ebach short spring ready to get on the bus

Compared with the original factory, it is much thicker and shorter.

During the installation, the 5-series rear shock absorber is more troublesome and the rear seat needs to be removed. After loading, the height is about two fingers, and the support of the bend is relatively in place, but the disadvantage is that the height can not be adjusted, and it is much harder, and it is very uncomfortable to pass through the speed reducer, so it was removed later. The photos after loading can not be found, so there is no effect picture, but generally speaking, it is still the most cost-effective posture and supportive upgrade scheme.

The original factory hole position punch marking disc is ready to get on the bus.

Through the new

After loading, the calipers were also painted and marked with M. As for why it was changed in this way, it was because we felt that the original factory’s 4 piston calipers were enough, so we changed out such a scheme, which was economical and beautiful.

Take it all apart, by the way, make a wheel arch sound insulation to reduce the tire noise.

Do a good job of cleaning first

Clean it up, or you can’t stick the anti-shock plate.

The shock-proof board is filled with soundproof cotton.

If the posture is low, the caliper changes color, and the punched and crossed plate gets on the car, the original wheel hub is not suitable, so there is a custom forged wheel hub.

After choosing the styling for a long time, I finally decided on this one.

Wheel hub arrival, 20-inch forging, send HRE mark too LOW, or use BMW mark

The effect of getting on the bus is still good. Because after I changed the 20-inch hub, the change still maintained the previous flat ratio, even if the short spring was changed, the car was still high, and the internal test of the hub felt empty.

Act where it is not perfect. App calipers arrived, 8520 big six pistons

British original imports

The workmanship and the QR code are all there.

Verify the authentic

The effect of getting on the bus, with 380 fish hooks, the fullness is fine.
The modification plan for the rear caliper is to move the original caliper in front to the rear, and then use the rear caliper of the original car to use the electronic handbrake to create a double caliper shape.

Replace the exhaust again, this time use HSR

Optional titanium black tail throat

Put on the M5 tail lip

Take a close-up of the tail throat.
As for the experience of using it, HSR makes BMW more exhaust, so I changed the middle and tail section. The sound is still quite loud. When I open the valve, it is like a beast coming out of its cage. When I close the valve, it is very quiet and there is no resonance. I am quite satisfied. However, the workmanship still needs to be improved. The distance between the tail throats on both sides is a little inconsistent, so I spent some time adjusting it myself.

If it hadn’t been adjusted, the tail throat would have shrunk in

It’s okay to be free, so I measured the original car’s 01. Since the wheel hub of 20 was replaced and tire prevention was added, and there were still many items in the car, I measured 6.9.

After making so many changes, shouldn’t we be motivated? I didn’t want to do it myself, so I came up with a special tune

The first level of special adjustment was being written. After brushing test 01, it couldn’t be detected. Every time the accelerator slipped in the end. After trying N times, the butt slipped out. I had to change the performance tire later.

Replace the Eibach short spring and prepare to get on the train.

tea exclusive green

Completed.
The suspension suspensions of the protein are generally soft, the comfort is quite good, the posture can be adjusted at will, and it is not expensive. The disadvantage is that it is poor support.

Overall boarding effect

Front wheel effect

Rear wheel effect

Install the speed limit module, it is still very easy to use, comparable to an electronic dog

Tire pressure digital display, this is more practical

I removed the previous foot mats and replaced them with a 360 Aviation soft bag, which is thin and compliant.

It feels like laying floor glue, but installation is more troublesome

Finished product renderings

Post-modification plan

In the later stage, the rear wheel calipers may be quickly installed in place, and then replaced with semi-hot-melt tires, the interior roof will be covered with turned-over fur, the central control will be covered with leather, the left wing will be replaced with turned-over fur, etc., change wherever you want.
It is also possible to recover completely, change to a car, and still be in a conflicted state.
