As an excellent representative of medium and large cars, the BMW 5-Series can be regarded as the most balanced model in this class. In a number of 5 series, I chose the minority choice. That is, the protagonist of this article 540i

Car selection process

For what I like, I will greedily hope that she is as perfect as possible. Of course, cars are no exception. I hope I can choose a car I like and treat her well. never abandon.

The last car of the landlord was the 2014 IS 350, so in terms of focus, I care more about appearance / power > interior decoration (audio) > space.

Always wanted to choose a car, but the family wanted to buy a medium and large SUV, and strongly recommended X5. At that time, when the five Kingdoms and six generations were changing, coupled with the luxury that the landlord preferred Mercedes-Benz, the goal was to copy the bottom of the GLE43, and the third generation X5 was also considered at the same time. Finally, due to various reasons, they missed one after another. Maybe this also means that fate hasn’t come yet.

For cars, what the landlord liked at first was the sedan car, especially the slender taillights of the second-generation CLS and the overall elegant shape.. it’s really fascinating. However, after the change, the 3.0T model has not been introduced in China, coupled with all kinds of negative news in Mercedes-Benz. I turned my goal to the relatively more stable medium and large sedan.

The landlord, who has driven the 525LI/528LI before and the X5, a generation of friends, has always been not interested in the interior / appearance of BMW, but he has to admire BMW’s very delicate steering feel and road feedback. I really started to think about choosing BMW, actually after I test-drove my friend’s 330i.. When you cut into the sports file, do the S file again. The precise and heavy steering wheel of 330i will really force you to make a lane change and step on the throttle deeply.

At that time, I was thinking, what would it feel like if a standard axis 5 series with a straight six cylinder 3.0T?

540i on the road is very rare, in fact, there are two main reasons. Price and quota quantity, do not know, do not know, only after understanding that this car is really not easy to buy. So the landlords really admire those car owners who finally insist on choosing what they love and do not compromise with their lives, especially the owners of performance cars.

Like many 540i owners, they have been looking for a car for four months after making a decision in June and July.
It has experienced all kinds of change news that even 4S stores do not know (530i owners collective WTF, where did the tmd fashion version come from), and 4S stores have no quota but encourage you to pay deposit to wait for an uncertain future (we must avoid this kind of situation). For various reasons, the landlord resolutely decided to understand the situation in many ways through himself. Here, I would like to thank the friends of the Automobile House and my friends in the automobile trade. Thank you for your selfless sharing and help to strengthen this goal and become a reality.

Finally found my sales Cecifer at the end of October! An authentic Shanghai girl, everyone speaks clearly and directly, and works efficiently. Just the appearance is my preferred stone blue, the car has arrived in Hong Kong is about to declare ~ I immediately rushed to Shanghai to sign the contract, too excited to wait until the signing thought of asking the sales to get the frame number … After the longest waiting for more than 10 days, I finally met the long-lost Xiaoqing on November 12!

At present, it has been 1000 + kilometers. The landlord shares my views with you according to the format of word-of-mouth.

Most satisfied: handsome appearance, of which the black 664m wheels really add points (silver will tend to be mature)
Full of power performance, strong sound during ignition is very good.
Less advanced, but more textured interior than Mercedes-Benz (Nappa seats greatly improve luxury)

Most dissatisfied (disadvantage): low speed setback, drag feeling
The central control storage space is relatively small, so deep wireless charging place is unexpectedly next to two cup shelves.
Harman Catton’s performance is mediocre and does not provide BeverW options, so he personally feels that the sound texture is not as good as that of Mark Levinson.

Space: the main 180cm of the building, after the driver’s seat is adjusted normally, the rear row space is fully sufficient but not sufficient, and the rear row utilization rate is low. It is a little larger than a B-class car (non-lengthened). For now, that’s enough.

Fuel consumption performance: the driving style of the landlord is more changeable. At present, the running-in period is mainly steady driving. Fuel consumption is less than 9.5 (surprised or surprised?)

Write at the end

When it comes to buying more than 600,000 cars, there are actually not many options. The 540i is really the most balanced car in a sense, which is suitable for Ikea. And the landlord also knows that the income of his current working condition is far from being worthy of *. I would like to thank my parents and wife Cecelia for their support and recognition so that I can drive my ideal car at this age. 2019 is also coming to an end. I hope to work hard in the new year and make myself better to control Xiaoqing calmly. I also wish you all a lot of money in the new year ~ mention your car as soon as possible!

For the first time, I hope friends can communicate amicably ~ if you think it’s good, the landlord will continue to bring you memories of Lexus IS 350 F Sport AWD.
