Let’s start with a map of the town building. I like this angle very much.

— P1 preface–

Men have many hobbies, such as luxury houses, famous cars and beauties, of which only cars are highly sought after. Because of feelings, you know!
Men love cars as if they were born with it. Few men do not love cars. At best, it is the depth of love.
Men love cars, just as women love cosmetics, bags and high heels, but men tend to be rational, so they like mechanical industrial products.
Men love cars and really need a supportive woman behind them! If you are not married and there is such a girl around you, don’t miss it!

Write down these random thoughts and you will know how I feel in my heart! (love car, change car)
Give up and have fun in the bitterness, but I still think it’s all worth it! We all have the blood of loving cars in our bones!

First review my car purchase history, from December 2008 to July 10, I successively bought Maiteng 2.0TSI luxury model, 61.4T luxury model, Mercedes-Benz C180, always favored BMW, but passed it again and again. It was not until December 16 that I bought 320i to really become a distinguished BMW owner. And then, in 18years,
Next, I will share my 540i (Performance Spitfire Warrior) with my friends, and make a record for myself!

I have been following it since 2017, and my favorite is M Sports version 540i.

Angel eye is a classic, spoon lamp is handsome!

— P2 selection–

When I bought F30 at the end of 16 years, because I was short of money, I found all kinds of reasons to give up 330i and change cars sooner or later, so I didn’t want to compromise this time, so I had to win it firmly toward my favorite goal. Before the global debut, I paid attention to the G31 540i of B58 through various channels (in fact, I started to pay attention to it when I bought F30). When the Chengdu Auto Show announced its domestic listing and price on August 16, 2017, there were mixed joys and sorrows. The good news is that it is more than 100,000 lower than the price of the previous generation F10, and it also comes with its own M sports suite. The worry is that the G31 is basically hopeless for domestic listing, because it is not listed in the North American market, the legendary European special model.

With an attractive car purchase goal, I began to pay attention to the forum, and successively met many car friends: Barry, 4mthjm, CS@hdp in Shanghai, Bosco Loo, the owner of G31540i, and fellow villagers easton, mini, etc., who now live in Germany. The big cakes always asked and answered my questions. At that time, the bosses picked up the car stickers, and all kinds of taxes and fees were 80% on the floor, and the budget was limited, so we could only wait for an appropriate time to sell. However, unlike most people, I like to buy cars customized and go to various options according to my own wishes. The home-made 320i has been waiting for me for more than three months. I don’t know if the mixture of expectations and anxiety while waiting for the car is called sadomasoch. but customization is actually a big obstacle in bargaining. 4s prefers to sell cash cars, turning the backlog of cars into cash and unwilling to invest more resources to sell futures. Fortunately, after the Spring Festival of 18 years, all kinds of good news came one after another. first, the value-added tax was reduced, and then the tariffs on imported cars were also reduced. finally, the opportunity appeared on July 1, 18, when the group saw the heartbeat price and called that night to confirm. I made an appointment to arrive at the store the next morning and signed a subscription contract half an hour later. I hadn’t even seen a 540 real car before, er, very much like love.

Now that it comes to love, let’s briefly talk about the reasons why I like BMW. I drive a car. I don’t like fast in a straight line. I like to bend the throttle to the end, accompanied by the screaming of tires and strong centrifugal force to drive into the next unknown corner. also because of the feeling of driving and driving, before 2011, he successively participated in the BMW three-city elite challenge held in Changsha, Zhuhai and Shanghai. BMW’s primary and intermediate (second) driving training (advanced registration but failed) was the third worst. So it’s very simple. Among the brands I can, BMW has the best control. What FR, 50:50, Ward’s top ten engines of the year, the straight six benchmark transmission that has been passed down for nearly a century, matching what is not the reason for me to choose 540i, the real reason is balance, can take into account business, household, occasionally can meet Saahuan’s small impulse, invincible performance-to-price ratio You should know that at that time, there was only a 130000 difference between high and low power training instructions, a 40% premium, while the difference between 530 and 540 in 4 cylinders and 6 cylinders was only 100000 yuan and 20%. They all felt that buying 540 was more cost-effective than buying 530. As for Mercedes-Benz, I’m not interested in its iphone20, and I can’t remember anything else. Audi is a Volkswagen in a cabin. At that time, they didn’t seem to have an axis to choose from, pass.

Let’s talk about the choice of clothes:
540i M sports suit, standard axis authentic!
1 Mediterranean blue
two。 Premium Nappa leather, black with refined stitches and contrasting leather strips
3. Advanced fragrance system (with negative ion generator)
4. Front row ventilation
5. Front and back row heating
6. Enhanced driving assist function
7. Remote parking assist

I have to complain here that most of the configurations available in Europe and North America are not available for the Chinese market, and the desired Alcantara fabric seats or Merion expanded leather seats, Nappa leather center control, four-wheel steering, thermal insulation glass, rear and side curtains, Alcantara ceiling, M or DCC suspension, spare tires, aluminum plaid panels and after-sale MPPK power bags are not provided, even the knee airbags are simple. As for 4-wheel drive, Baohua, infrared, front row massage, back row entertainment, electric suction door, electric folding trailer hook, I don’t need either.

— P3 lift car–

Since it is a customized car, I have to wait for the 4s store to get a quota from BMW China. Fortunately, I confirmed a quota in September at the end of July. I also asked me if I was in a hurry, whether I could wait for the quota in October, and what to think! From quota down, to production scheduling, to offline, to sea customs clearance, all kinds of tracking and waiting, now think about the ancient times to marry a beautiful woman, but have to wait until the wedding night is also how tormented, digress.

The optional list when buying a car.

The car purchase contract at that time

Start to check the LGN008 of the ro-ro shipping date from Bremen Port in Germany to Huangpu Port in Guangzhou, that is, according to my order number, we can find out the manufacturer’s production schedule and frame number, and find the configuration table with frame number.

Finally wait for you, impatient START, drive out the whole car to check, the floor of the parking lot is a little shabby
Fortunately, it was just a light rain and there was no muddy water on the shoes.
I’m not worried about shoes, but I’m worried about getting on the car and stepping on the carpet!

Standard axis 2975mm, the side is still visually slender

Straight six + TwinPower Turbo, big love! The essence of BMW.

I am very satisfied with the overall fuel consumption of 7.2L pinch 100km and 10 fuel can be driven down!

It shows that 11KM is still very satisfactory (yours)

Group photo of two horses, 5 series is obviously bigger than one size, 320i has also made some light changes!
Here I especially wear the blue of BMW, which is even more than that of Ninten1!

— P4 upgrade and modification–
Then there are all kinds of “twists and turns”, some riders may be puzzled, in fact, the process and results are endless fun!
First of all, start from the power, no one will not like high horsepower, I am no exception, personally advocate M Performance and M Power, purchased FSC certificate, B58 MPPK power package, there is a warranty this is more rest assured

Look at the figure before and after the power torque data

Full screen carplay

Now there are real pictures at the intersection.

Combination instrument before brushing

Combined instrument after brushing

After brushing the mppk, the high-speed fuel consumption is within 10% of the speed limit, and the kind that you will exceed when you see the car. It is no problem to drive less than 7.0m gently.

Change to the first paragraph of AK, this is the official data, there is a chance to test, is it true?

Close-up of the first paragraph, three yuan of HJS.

Replace the MP tail, AK tail, M5 rear lip and rear diffuser.

After the change, is it any more handsome? The reason for not changing the middle section is that I do not want the exhaust to be too fried, as long as it is bigger and thicker than the original factory, with a little tempering sound, belonging to narcissistic type!

Change the wheel hub, this is thought before lifting the car, in order to lightweight and shape vision, custom 763m forging 19 inches
At the same time, the rice fat man PS4S tire was replaced and the original factory RDC tire pressure was upgraded.

Brake is the original factory, 374mm market, currently feel that it is not enough, now the whole network looking for F90 original factory brake!

Change the front bar, here is tossed around, the first change of the M5 front bar + fender (1:1)
It was found that the front was much wider, and the back was still the same factory, which was not coordinated, and the front wheel had to be flanged, so it was removed again.

The fracture has been transferred to the rider, tears run!

After the modification of the simplified version of the M5 front bar (with the original factory wing), there is almost no color difference in the paint, which is satisfactory!
In order to this M5 front bar, or affixed with cars and clothes, flying stones, mosquito corpses can not afford! MP’s three salad flowers happen to be pasted together.

Usually drive very carefully, the original paint can keep must be the best! For a car at this price, it is difficult to find a shop that is better than the original factory.

International 45 °, with the M5 front bar of the original fender, the visual effect is still very wide and flat! Face + 10

Looking straight ahead, the vision is not as good as 45 °. The rearview mirror of the original M5 has been changed, and the fighting breath is + 10.

The interior decoration changes to the brand-new original aluminum grid decoration board, which makes me heartache!

However, after the change, the effect is very satisfactory, at present, there are no members of the opposite sex, all functions are normal! I just regret not having the F90 carbon fiber textured aluminum interior with dark chrome trim.

The sports index is four stars, ten years younger, is there?

Comparison of nine-piece sets of interior decoration

The others will not be explained one by one, Duotu attack!

It would be better if the taillights were blackened a little more.

The color of the atmosphere lamp is not as good as the E next door color.

Spoon lamp, at first, I think it is still an angel eye classic, in fact, the spoon looks more and more fragrant!

The body of the car is still too high, acrophobia began to attack!

— P5 feeling–
Share with you how you feel about using the car:
1. Driving a BMW to take a Mercedes-Benz, for a C-class car, I think it is driving a BMW to ride a BMW! If you don’t blow, you’ll know when you use it!
two。 The most satisfactory is straight six power, upgraded MPPK power package and head and tail section, more fun to drive, but violence (sports) can be comfortable (quiet)
3. Sound insulation, the level of NVH is very good, especially if you change the explosion-proof tire, there is almost no tire noise.
4. The fuel consumption is 12, which is slightly higher, probably because I occasionally have a big foot throttle.
5. Equipped with Harman Catton in general, did not meet expectations at all! I’ve heard of Harman on the new 740. It feels good. Who’s going to popularize it?
6. Gesture control function is too little, do not know how to operate the song, and reverse can move the picture has not yet tried, in short, it is a small style! You can choose if you like, there are still B boxes.
7. The shape of the seat is great, the NAPPA grain feels good, and it is even better to be as delicate and soft as a mine car. Maybe the manufacturer is in order to take care of sports, understand! The seat adjustment is very delicate, so you can find a comfortable sitting position.
8. The panorama is easy to use, the resolution is high and does not reflect light, the HUD is very good, there is also a speed limit reminder, the instrument inherits the classic, but also rich in sports technology.
9. The important point is that the shock absorber is too soft, it is not equipped with M suspension and optional equipment, when you want to exercise, there is no problem, the chassis can not keep up, and you still have the feeling of driving a small boat. this is the result of manufacturers’ compromise to comfort; they can only change to avoid shock.
10. Reduced the knee airbag, the domestic optional installation is too little, customization is not enough! I hope it can be improved in the future!

Excellent steering wheel grip and sports comfort

At present, the overall fuel consumption is 12. I don’t know how much are you? Welcome to exchange

Harman Catton, LOGO is boring, think of the BOSE next door, the Voice of Berlin

Sound parameters I adjust like this, always feel general, did not achieve the expected sound effect! It’s very different from Harman on the 740.

I like this diamond lattice and two-color fine stitches very much.

Gesture control, install X moment, in fact, the steering wheel operation will be more convenient!

HUD practical configuration, took a lot of pictures to take a clear picture! Support a lot of information, I only show speed and speed limit.

Panoramic image, it’s easy to use when you get used to it.

M550i, forgive my longing for M Performance!

I was lucky enough to get the license plate I wanted.
