Ten years of BMW powder, bought BMW E90 325 F18 525 G12 730 740 G38 520

Since last year, I have bought the new E300L, 730 luxury and 740 luxury, all of which have been sold and replaced. I want to buy one more this year, and I have put forward a new 5-Series after thinking about it.

I have a special fondness for matching, so I choose all the things that can be matched by the new 5 series in one breath.

I bought the E300L 7 Series last year, and when I wanted to buy another one this year, I focused on watching the Lexus LS. After various comparisons, I chose the new 5 Series, and I am still the old 5 Series owner. So some of my experiences and feelings should be helpful to friends who think about the new 5 series.
I will focus on the selection and the comparative analysis with the Mercedes-Benz E300L for your reference.

My premise is that you can also refer to the posts of E300L.

M suite 5 series, I personally think the butt is not good-looking, especially the black rear encirclement.

This atmosphere lamp is still OK, although it is not as exaggerated as the new E of Mercedes-Benz, but it is still quite cool with Baohua stereo.

The wheels of my car are my favorite. This generation of 7 series I like very much, very powerful, 730 cost performance is very high, if there is a sufficient budget, I personally suggest 730.

Here’s a supplement to why I spent 540% on 530LI and why not on 540LI.
The price of my car is indeed higher than that of 540li, but after all the selection of 540li, it is also a lot higher than mine. I have calculated carefully that the money is higher than one engine. I have used the B58 of 540. I know that the gap of B48 B58 is not as big as you think, because I have 730,740 at the same time. There is a kind of cylinder-only theory in China. I think that if you have six cylinders, you must have four cylinders. I can responsibly say that the 730 B48 is definitely better than many brands of 6 cylinders, because I already have 7 series, I do not have to go to the executive level 540li, I bought before and saw a lot of evaluation of those, 540li because of the use of air suspension and suspension settings, the handling is much weaker, you can take a look at 38 car reviews. In addition, I want to go to four-wheel drive, because I have never driven four-wheel drive! Why didn’t I buy the 5 series of standard axis? I regret this, but I have waited too long for the 5 series of standard axis, and I really feel that the space in the back row is a little small. I often need to take people when I drive, but if I choose it again, I may choose the standard axis 540i.

So all things considered, I chose 530li M suite all-wheel drive.

Let’s talk about the use of the 5 series after picking up the car.

Maneuverability: this generation of 5 series feels very like the 3 series, really comfortable, the effect after weight loss is very obvious, the overall lighter, easier to drive than the previous generation, but the xDrive four-wheel drive version is not flexible, a little regret choosing four-wheel drive, the role of four-wheel drive is not great in the south, but four-wheel drive is stable at high speed, which is more stable than the 740 rear-drive version. In terms of handling, the new E of Mercedes-Benz is really complete, which can be told to you very responsibly. I am very disgusted with those keyboard warriors, saying that the Cadillac CT6 electromagnetic suspension explodes the BBA, or the new E control can be more than 5 series, and I have a say after comparison, and it’s not the kind of comparison after a test drive. The time of test driving is too short, I really can’t feel much.
And the maneuverability of driving a Lexus LS, which is really ordinary.

New iDrive: the new iDrive is much smoother and has a clearer interface and better logic than the previous generation 5-series NBT. I think BMW’s human-computer interaction is the best of all cars. It is the fastest to get started, and the simplest and most practical. I think there is something wrong with the logic of Mercedes-Benz’s new E COMAND system, and stutter, it is really not easy to use, but the interface is more beautiful than BMW’s beautiful UI design, especially the navigation interface is really beautiful. And the sound quality of that wireless CARPLAY transmission is very poor, which I have compared very carefully. It is recommended that you use Bluetooth or USB flash drive to listen to music. Do not use wireless CAPLAY. Figuratively speaking, BMW’s system is like Apple, Mercedes-Benz is like Android, and it is Samsung’s Android.

I would also like to complain about the interaction between people in the new Lexus LS, which is really rubbish! It’s anti-human. You can’t use it in the car. Even the touchscreen is better than this crap. It’s like you’re holding a notebook touchpad in the car. You can’t operate it until you stop the car. The UI interface sucks, and I really can’t complain.

This interface is the interface of the new ID6, that is, the EVO system. This generation of systems has been greatly improved. As long as it is an EVO system, it can be brushed to the ID6 interface.

Power gearbox chassis suspension: the 530li B48 is actually not the blood-filled version of the B48730, and the B48 should be the strongest 2.0T engine, especially the one on the 7-series. The response of the 3.0T B48, which is not S400, should be lower than that of the previous generation N20, and the response speed is not as good as that of the previous N20, and there will occasionally be setbacks at low speed, but the situation is acceptable.
The engine of Mercedes-Benz’s new E was really too loud. It was like a tractor when it started cold, but the power was not bad, but there was something wrong with the gearbox matching. You can take a look at my previous Mercedes-Benz pick-up sticker. I said that the setback was so serious that I couldn’t bear it.

The suspension of the new 5-series has become more comfortable, and the road feeling is not as good as that of the old 5-series.
Here, let’s talk about the suspension of the new E. My E300L was changed after it was changed for a few months, and there was a strange noise. Many E car owners have this thing, and Mercedes-Benz will refuse to guarantee it. This is bad enough.

Fuel consumption: the fuel consumption of the xDrive four-wheel drive version should be 1 to 1.5 times higher than the rear-drive version. High-speed fuel consumption is about 7.5 urban fuel consumption, I am in Guangzhou this kind of road condition is probably less than 12. Fuel consumption is not good, mainly because it is four-wheel drive, if it is rear-drive 530LI fuel consumption is still quite powerful. The fuel consumption of Mercedes-Benz’s new E is also very good. Also want to say that the fuel consumption of 730 is even better, you can’t believe it is the fuel consumption of 7 series. Lower fuel consumption than this 530LI, the blood-filled version of B48 is really tough.

Space: spatially speaking, this generation of the 5 series is smaller than the F18 5 series, because the rear seats are longer and thicker, visually a little smaller, but the seats are more comfortable. It is also for this reason that I did not buy the 5 series of the standard axis, the space is really a little small.

This is the high-speed fuel consumption, turn on ECO mode.

NVH: talking about NVH, the new 5-series NVH should be the invincible existence of C-class cars, which I dare to say after a lot of comparison, because the soundproof of the new 5 are all catching up with my 7-series. Here to complain about the Mercedes-Benz E, the biggest reason why I sold the E300L is that there are all kinds of noises. And it can’t be solved.

And the new 5 series tire noise is also small, although it is still anti-burst tire, but really has a significant improvement in sound insulation, this is not easy, Mercedes-Benz E tire noise is really big.

All right, let’s focus on the selection. What did I choose? let me make a list, a lot.
1: high-grade Nappa leather, ivory leucorrhea refined stitches and contrast leather strips
3: automatic control of suitcase lid
4: starry sky panoramic skylight
5: rear window and rear window sunshade curtain
6: active ventilation of front seats
7: active ventilation of rear seats
8: front seat comfort, electric adjustment 9: front seat electric waist support, these two are included together
10: advanced fragrance system (with negative ion generator)
11: enhanced driving assistance (including driving assistance and active cruise control if you choose the enhanced) active cruise control system
13: full-color heads-up display system
14:Bowers&Wilkins Diamond surround Sound system
15: professional entertainment system in the back row (dual 10.2 inch display)
16: gesture control system
17: entertainment package (wireless charging and WIFI hotspots)
18: winter suit
The matching price can be found on the official website. I originally wrote it, but the requirements are not allowed for me to write.

All my selections are close to 20W, and then some people will say why not buy 540lIrecoveri 540li to buy more than 70W, then some people say why not buy 730, but I have 730740, how do you think I should buy it? my car is a big discount, anyway, I am more satisfied with the price, although it is still very expensive.

Scared, the choice of clothes is a pit, the choice of clothes is based on personal needs, some can not be used. Let me analyze and analyze it. 、
Anyway, everything you can choose to install has been installed.

But what about the optional equipment? compared with the later modification, the original factory is very cheap, and many options can not be changed in the later stage.

This screenshot of the official website.

1: high-grade Nappa leather, ivory leucorrhea refined stitches and contrast leather strips
This optional 525LI is not optional, 525Li is synthetic leather, not real leather, can only choose Dakota leather, Mercedes-Benz new E is all synthetic leather, dermis are optional, the deluxe version is standard with Nappa leather, M sports suit needs to be selected. I recommend the optional one. Nappa leather feels much better. I like mocha best in color, which is the color I choose by myself.

High-grade Nappa leather, ivory leucorrhea refined stitches and contrast leather strips
After installing this, it will be the same as the 7 series.

2: aluminum diamond interior with pearlescent chromium plated decorative strip
This interior decoration option is the most expensive of several interior bar options, M sports suit can be selected, and luxury set can be called: ridge fine line high-grade wood decoration, with pearlescent chrome decorative strips.
You can choose what you like or not.

This is the thing, decoration bar, optional or not. I like it.

3: automatic control of suitcase lid
This is easy to use, and give it a kick instead. 530Li premium above is standard. The recommended option is practical and inexpensive.
Recommended value: four stars

The first one is to close the trunk when pressed. The second one is to lock the car while closing the trunk.

4: starry sky panoramic skylight
This thing is full, but it is not practical, and it is optional or optional, depending on your personal preference.
Recommended: three stars

The picture is not very clear. I’ll take a clear one another day.

5: rear window and rear window sunshade 6: active ventilation of front seats
7: rear seat active ventilation 8: front seat comfortable, electric adjustment
9: front seat electric waist support

To sum up, the most recommended thing is front seat ventilation, especially on such a hot day this year, the advantage comes out. Front comfortable seats are also recommended, if family members often sit at the back, or if there is a business reception demand for sunshade and rear ventilation is optional.
Front seat comfort seat ventilation recommended: five stars

10: advanced fragrance system (with negative ion generator)
I like this thing very much, mainly with a negative ion generator. What a bargain!
Recommended: five stars

This is the aromatherapy supplement. Buy more than 200 to 300, and it will be gone in a month.

11: enhanced driving assist function active cruise control system
13: automatic parking assist system 14: full-color heads-up display system
I would like to focus on these several things. I must have my favorite. In addition to that parking aid, I think this must be selected.

This set of enhanced driving assistance of BMW can basically stay in the lane on the highway and follow the car automatically, which can be regarded as a level 2 self-driving assistance system, but it will not turn on the turn signal to change lanes, but it is not easy to use in the city. When someone is jammed, the BMW system can not be recognized and is easy to hit. The driving assistance enhancement of Mercedes-Benz is possible. Mercedes-Benz can be regarded as a 2.5-level autopilot assistance system, Tesla that is advanced, basically can be regarded as level 3, Audi’s new A8 also said that it can be level 3 but has not tried. Third-level autopilot is not allowed in China.
(autopilot is now divided into five international levels, you can go to Baidu.)

After adding this set of driving assistance enhancements, there is another function that can identify the speed limit sign, which can remind you that it really works within the specified speed at high speed.

Look up to show: BMW this head shows that the surface is the strongest, no one, much better than Mercedes-Benz Audi or something. Don’t explain, don’t accept any rebuttal.

Recommendation: five stars especially look up to show that some do not like driving assistance can not be selected, but look up to show that there must be, too easy to use.
Driving assistance enhanced later installation more than 5W, even the front windshield has to be replaced, if you do not choose to install the head up display, the later installation is a ghosting, because the front windshield is different, pit it!

This is the strongest head-up display on the surface, which can display quite a wealth of content.

The camera on the windshield is a dual-camera recognition for lane maintenance.

The black square under the intake grille is the adaptive cruise radar.

The five buttons on the right side of the steering wheel are full, which means that driving assistance has been added.

The green sign indicates that the driving assistance has been enhanced, the green lines on both sides indicate that the lanes remain active, and the green in the middle indicates adaptive cruise start.

15:Bowers&Wilkins Diamond surround Sound system □
I also highly recommend this set of stereos. It is also very necessary to install Harman Catton if the budget is not enough. Baohua’s stereo does not need to be explained. It is as full as the one in Greater Berlin.
Recommendation: five stars, if the budget is not enough, go to Harman.

16: professional entertainment system in the back row (dual 10.2 inch display)

This is the last thing I recommend, mainly because it is useless and super expensive.

It is these two screens in the back that dare to ask for more than 20,000 yuan. It’s really expensive.

Winter suit
Front and rear seat heating function
Front seat heating function
Advanced four-zone automatic air conditioning

This is what I recommend, mainly because there is a four-zone air conditioner, which cannot be changed in the later stage.

Comfort suit
Keyless entry (front door, trunk cover), optional trunk induction opening function can be added.
Driver side external rearview mirror with automatic anti-glare function
Enhanced parking assist (including panoramic camera)

The reason for choosing 1W separately is that after the driver assistance enhancement, the comfort package is cheaper, because the driver assistance enhancement includes the driver side external rearview mirror with automatic anti-glare function.

This is highly recommended. The panoramic camera works well. And keyless entry is also a rigid demand, and later modification is troublesome and expensive.

Recommended: five stars

BMW’s panoramic camera is quite easy to use, and Mercedes-Benz’s new E is also very clear.

BMW also has several custom suits that are the most cost-effective.

Innovative suit
LED follow-up control headlamp
Far light automatic control
Intelligent rear touch (7-inch touch screen)
This is also highly recommended. Cheap, ah, that headlamp costs tens of thousands of yuan, and it is worth thousands of yuan in the back row of intelligent control.

The lamp is much higher than the ordinary headlamp.

This intelligent control PAD is made by Samsung and is more advanced than the 7-series one. It’s a little fast.

Entertainment set
Harman/Kardon high-end audio system
Wireless charging of mobile phone
WiFi hotspots and free WiFi data traffic packages

This is also highly recommended, if there is no standard Harman Catton or do not want to install Bauer that Bauer is too expensive, be sure to choose this, this price is also cheap.

To sum up, BMW’s entertainment innovation and comfort winter suits are all very practical.

After writing so much, let’s sum it up.

Personally, I think the new 5-series has strong internal skills after this replacement, but its appearance is not as good as Mercedes-Benz. If the C-class car is the most beautiful, it is the new E, but apart from all aspects of appearance, the new 5-series is the best of the C-class cars. The mechanical performance of the new 5 series is perfect enough.

But the 5 series also has shortcomings, the control is not as good as the previous generation, enhanced comfort but poor control, this is a fact. The interior is much worse than the new e, and BMW really needs to make some efforts on the interior.

I test-drove LS five or six times before buying this car. Let’s talk about LS. At the beginning, I focused on the Lexus LS. At that time, I thought the interior of the car was really handsome, and it should also be the most beautiful d-class car so far, but after the test drive, the mechanical performance of the LS was not good enough, and the overall driving experience was very bad. Except for the beautiful appearance of the interior, everything else was not good. Mark Levinson’s stereo is very ordinary, anti-human-computer interaction, and the most insane thing is that horn simulates sound waves. There is also that hybrid system will have a setback and poor acceleration performance, I do not understand why, the official claim that more than 5 seconds of acceleration, but in fact I really think the acceleration may be the same as the 730 level. However, the appearance is excellent in workmanship, and I think it is prettier than Mercedes-Benz in appearance. It took me a long time to decide to give up ls, and now I still look at all kinds of LS pick-up work from time to time.

In fact, BBA can dominate the luxury car market, not because of the brand, but because his products are strong enough, BBA three have unique advantages, and all are not weak, there are no obvious shortcomings, Lexus Volvo Cadillac, these second-tier luxury cars also have bright spots, but all have obvious shortcomings.

On the model, the personal recommendation is the 530Li luxury model. If you pursue sports, go up to the imported 540i axis. However, the space of the standard axis 5 series is really a little small.
