Let’s talk about the cars we used before. at first, we bought the imported sports version F30 in 2013. At that time, the last batch of cars were imported, saying that they were sports versions, but they were not M sets, but they were not low in configuration and interconnected driving.
Later, I changed to a second car: the Esto blue F30, with a thong steering wheel, yes, the front and rear of the two 3-series are short axles, authentic, and there is plenty of space. And compared with the first sports car, the atmosphere is more rich, so I got to know several Estolan 3 friends in the same city. Until the end of 2018, Alfa Romeo giulia was replaced.
Why change trains from Series 3? Drive tired, drive for an hour or so, because the direction is heavy, so sour. And the sound insulation is not very good.

Alfa Romeo giulia was replaced in 2019. The specific purchase process can take a look at my previous elite post. It has been open for half a year for the following reasons:
1. The car is really a good car, with a speed increase of 5.3s, which is about the level of 540i, but the electronic system is so bad that it can not be driven directly, the oil road is broken, and the cold car catches fire half an hour later, which fully inherits the little temper of the Italians. Aunt can bear it, uncle can’t stand it.
2, the space is a little smaller than the F30, mainly reflected in the back row, and the head space is at least one end less than the F30 and 5 series, this is still the lowest seat, I 190, if I do not lie down to drive, then slightly head, because do not want to speed up the progress of baldness, this is also a reason to change cars.
3. I can’t feel the intelligent car-machine system at all. when it comes to the evaluation of the giulia system, it can only be said that “the most basic can be used”, without the slightest expansion in the direction of intelligence. of course, the addition of carplay in the sixth edition of giulia can be regarded as a slight compensation.

Giulia will follow me until around July 2019. Later, because of the shortcomings of the giulia summarized above, I wanted to buy a new 3 series.
When I was watching the new 3 series, I test-drove model 3 at the same time. The car is really nice! A big moving portable battery. But at that time, Tesla had a purchase tax, which could not be accepted. If it had been tax-free at that time, and there was a phased interest-free policy at that time, it was really fragrant. I asked BBA when there was such a policy.
The new 3 series wants to buy the 325i Yaoye version, plus HUD, comfortable entry, winter package (can turn on the air conditioner remotely! ).
I went to a BMW 4S in Huangdao and told me the original price and asked for QJ (the same sister store in this store sold giulia at a 20% discount at that time, and then I went south for a 6.8% discount). At that time, it was usually the original price, but not QJ. Can not bear to go back to the Rizhao store to ask, but also with a try attitude, did not expect that the original price can not be QJ, so paid a deposit, this is early September 2019.
I also forgot to ask if there was a quota when I paid the deposit, so half a month later I asked if there was no frame number. The sales said there was no quota! This is awesome. Wait until the year of the Rat?
On September 20, there was still no quota for the local 4S, and I saw a 5-Series on the road! How handsome. Is it a 5-series? Later I learned that it turned out to be the imported 5 series of stone cyan.
As the 3 series has no quota in the store, the order will be changed to 2020 525i by the end of September, with HUD, Harman Catton and comfortable entry. Tell me about a few options:
1, HUD, BMW HUD is very good, who knows, this thing after the change needs to change the glass, but it is best to cooperate with the choice of enhanced assistance, otherwise the projection information is pitiful.
2. Harman Catton, which is much better than the high fidelity of the F30, listens to Shrimp app with carplay and chooses lossless mode music. The sound is very layered and clear.
3, there are more than 400,000 cars, there is no comfortable entry, it doesn’t make sense, choose by yourself. I didn’t expect that although the new 5 was updated to the ID7 system like the new 3, the keyless entry of the new 5 was still version 1.0 (contact), rather than being unlocked by the new 3’s approach vehicle.

Coincidentally, 4s had an import quota, and then the informant reported it, and the frame number was available a week later. After a long wait, 4S didn’t even give a ship number, so I had to estimate the ship according to the production and check it myself. This is really too hard, after 40 days, finally arrived at Tianjin Port. Then I arrived at the store a month later. In fact, generally speaking, it doesn’t take a month to get to the store, mainly because the store may be short of funds and there may be some delays in making payments.

Here’s how Tesla feels about test driving:

Model 3, smart, electric without refueling. At present, model 3 has been tax-free, but there is no interest-free, if you are like a handful to pay, it is very affordable. If you want to be interest-free, suggestions and other policies. Another reason why model 3 didn’t buy is that it plans to wait for the technology to innovate. If solid-state batteries are promoted, the charging speed will be about the same as the refueling time. In addition, model 3 options are too few, I think there will be instruments, HUD and other options in the future, and it is very practical. So buy it later, buy a transition car first.
The model 3 is the fastest accelerating and smartest car among the new 3 and 5, but the technology is changing with each passing day, waiting for the next generation of model 3 to be amazing. You must be chosen.

About New 3 and New 5:
The driving of the new 3 in the test drive feels more like a scaled-down version of the new 5, much more comfortable than the F30. There is no doubt that BMW has high expectations for the new 3 series, and the latest ones have been used by the new 3, while the new 5 is relatively a minor modification, after all, it is not a medium-term model.

If there is no news of the 5-series ID7 system during the period, it is estimated that 20 5-series will not be selected. I still like ID7 instruments very much. 20 additional spoon lamps are also very good-looking and powerful.
At the same time, the imported frame is black, which is much better than the domestic bright stripes. Appearance is justice!
On November 20, the day after the car arrived at the store, I went to the store to see the car.

By the way, why 525i? The reasons are as follows:
1. Choose the short axis, because only the short axis of cyan has this color.
2, the short axis space has been enough, more coordinated, better control! This can be felt from the test drive.
3. Hud can be selected for minor axis 525, but not for long axis 525.
4. Since the short axis is selected, why not choose 530i? Because 525 is enough, 525i accelerates faster than the new 325Li! What more bikes do you want? Satisfy ~
5. I don’t like the key design around the new handle and handle of the new 3. I feel that the button and mode switching of idrive are not as good as the 20 5-series design.

Later, I contacted the retrofit boss of the first speed limit module. At present, the speed limit module of ID7 will not be wrong, but it only displays the speed limit information in the instrument. If you want to project HUD, you still need to wait for the test.
Next, I bought the alcantara steering wheel cover.

The stone blue standard axis 5 series is sporty and young, changing the dull stereotype given by the previous 5 series.
The 5 series of standard axes is too hard to adjust the longer axis, which does not feel like dragging water, and has strong tracking performance. Accelerating up to 525 can also fully meet daily driving on urban roads. Sport mode is also on call, pointing as accurate as ever.
After saying a lot about the advantages of the 5 Series, let’s talk about some of the shortcomings of this car:
1. Similar to useless connected driving functions. At present, all connected driver operations have failed. This situation has not been encountered in the F30 before. It may be because the ID7 vehicle system needs to be updated.
2. Functional lag. The comfortable entry for the new 3 is 2.0, and the 5 series ***, which is also the ID7 system, is 1.0. The vehicle system of the New 3 can be upgraded remotely, but the vehicle system cannot be updated remotely in the 5 Series, at least for now. The practical function of remote engine starting in winter is even more impossible to choose.
3. The impact of 4S store services on brands. This is the first time I’ve heard of a customer’s need to pay for the car by swiping a credit card. It was done in a BMW store. Since the salesperson was good, I didn’t report it. The manufacturer’s BMW Finance will continue to collect the handling fees that it needs to charge when it arrives at the store. If it does not pay, it will have to be paid in full. If it does not pay the handling fee in installments, it will not be possible to buy it. For films and recorders that are less than 2000 yuan, QJ must give customers 8000 yuan to buy them. The same insurance company and the same insurance type can be purchased outside for 6000 yuan, but 4S must agree to spend 13000 yuan to buy it at 4S. I want to ask, is this also a service?
