BMW 5 Series, which has been driving for half a year with tears and blood losses

August 1, 2024

A good friend of mine bought a BMW 5-Series with chassis code F18 at the beginning of this year, that is, the BMW 5-Series of the previous generation. He bought a 17-style 525 luxury, which is equivalent to the final model of the F18 5-Series. In fact, the F18 5-Series was released in 2010 and sold to 2018 G-Series 5-Series. This generation of 5-Series basically opened the BMW market in China and let more and more people know BMW. Today, let’s talk about the BMW 5-Series that my friend spent 270000 yuan on at the beginning of this year. In fact, the price of the used car industry is collapsing in the first half of this year. A few days ago, I saw that the price of an 18-model 530s with similar mileage sold by a car lover was only more than 10,000 higher than the price of this 17 models bought at that time, so in only half a year, the car bought by my friend really lost blood with tears.

This car is 2017 model 525luxury, so far 80,000km. It was bought back at an extremely high price at the beginning of the year. In fact, there is not much difference in appearance from the release in 2010 to the end of the final period. And it should not be difficult to find that the visibility of this generation of five series on the road is quite high, although it looks a little old-fashioned compared to the appearance of cash. But the whole thing seems to highlight the word “steady”.

In fact, I think the front face is still very good-looking, at least it looks a lot better than the E grade of the same period.

BMW’s ancestral angel eye headlamp was still used by the 18-year replacement, and it was not until the cash was on sale that it became an L-shaped daytime driving lamp. Personally, I think the angel eye is the soul of BMW.

The hub is 18 inches, or a relatively large hub, the visual effect is still good.

To the rear of the car is still very business feeling that I personally prefer the cash BMW five-series, the whole appearance is young sports, maybe the F18 generation of the five-series will be easier to please people of my father’s age.

Even if it is 525 luxury it is still not equipped with keyless entry, I am now the configuration of the car requires keyless entry is the most basic.

In fact, this generation of BMW 5-Series has a common fault, the interior door panel will be sticky after a long time of use, this car is not sticky for the time being, but there are a lot of scratches on the door panel.

There is also a seat memory, which is commendable. It is really convenient to have a seat memory if many people in the family use the car.

Electric seat adjustment, these are all necessary.

The interior is the interior of the previous generation of old BMW. I also think this interior is still not out of date and will not be as obvious as the old Mercedes-Benz Audi. However, compared with the five-series interiors in cash, the interiors of this generation are too commercial and have no sense of movement.

Automatic headlights are also available, but there are no automatic wipers, and Porsche’s simple electric steering wheel adjustment is also available on this car some time ago.

Because it is the end of this generation of cars, so full LCD instruments are also available, but the display function is relatively limited, that is, some basic display.

The central control screen is still relatively large, but like the full LCD meter, the display content is not very rich, carplay these are not available, and this multimedia system often has no sound in Wechat after connecting Bluetooth, and the music information in the central control screen will stutter, of course, there is a solution, more than a thousand outside can add a carplay module to the big screen.

Dual-zone automatic air conditioning and both the main and passenger cars are heated with seats.

BMW’s ancestral chicken leg is very easy to use both in terms of grip and use, with driving mode switching on the left and multimedia control area on the right.

Interior board uses a lot of this kind of solid wood interior board, it looks not young enough, not enough sports, very commercial feeling.

The car also uses Harman Catton’s stereo, and the sound quality is still very good.

Give the chicken leg a close-up, which looks full of B compared to the A6 and E grades of the same period.

I saw these buttons at the right door in the back row. I thought the back seat was adjustable, but when I pressed it, I realized that it was just the boss’s button to adjust the passenger seat.

Let’s talk about the driving experience of this car. The engine used in this car is 2.0T code name N20B20. In fact, this engine is quite perfect. Compared with the early N52 engine, this engine has done a great job both in terms of power output and stability. If you want to buy an early F18 5 Series, you must keep your eyes open. Because the early N52 engine is inherently defective, oil leakage makes you doubt your life, of course, the N20B20 used in the final payment actually has some common minor problems, such as valve cover oil leakage, such as oil pan leakage, and some car owners have encountered the situation of burning oil, but the one bought by my friend has not encountered any of these situations so far. The steering feel of the whole car is heavier than the five series of the current G chassis, and the whole car is softer than the G chassis. The G38 530 I drove a few days ago actually felt lighter and more flexible than the F18.

Let’s talk about this car’s ZF eight-gear gearbox, the whole gearbox is much smoother than the contemporary A6, although it’s a little frustrating, but if you don’t think about it, you may soon forget the setback, and there’s nothing wrong with ZF’s gearbox.

Finally, I would like to show you some beautiful pictures of vehicles. This car should have suffered a tearful blood loss in the current second-hand car market, but it is undeniable that this is a good car. It has really made great contributions to BMW China in the more than seven years since it was sold. Motorists are also welcome to discuss more about it in the comment area.
