• New 5 Series or cash

The new 5-series has just been released, and the cash 5-series still maintains a strong competitiveness. The author writes down the experience of using cars for nearly half a year. I hope to discuss with you Bimmer and explore the fun that cars bring to us. Recently, friends who are paying attention to 5 series can communicate with each other in the comment area.
The full text is long, the front is mainly pictures, the latter part is the car selection process and car experience, can be compared with the catalogue:

6. A brief talk on the New 5 Series
The author's city is Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Besides commuting to the city, there are more elevated highways on weekends. Before driving a Toyota Camry, the lottery got an indicator and planned to buy a family car. Budget about 40, need to have a certain card surface, can meet the appropriate business reception needs.
Finally selected the leading sports version of BMW 530Li, the color is carbon black mocha, bought in December 2022, now driving 5000 kilometers.

I. appearance

I think the appearance of this generation of 5 series is growing on my aesthetic point-with a mature and spiritual elegance, clean body lines, classic double kidney intake grille with fierce "double L" daytime driving lights, like an eagle with wings, the overall width of the car is visually extended.

With regard to this carbon black, I didn't understand at first whether the name and sapphire blue were wrong. Until the discovery of black charcoal in the sun, it showed the feeling of "black with green"-epiphany.

The "double L" daytime driving lights are like eagle eyes-fierce and firm, with feathery texture details on the eyebrows. Using the new X5 headlights after the replacement, I still feel that the cash is more handsome.

The slender and neat body lines and the side waistline run through the front and rear of the car, and you will find it fascinating to take a look at the pictures.

"Blue Sky and White Cloud"

Full tail shape-bilateral exhaust with sturdy three-dimensional "L" taillights, lit at night on the road with high recognition.

Taillights with blackening effect, lit at night, three-dimensional and soft light

The side of the car body, the length of the 5106mm body, with 19-inch wheels, the flattening ratio of the front 40 to the rear 35, creating a low front and high back posture.

Classic "Huo's Corner", shark fin, wide back door size

Personally, I feel that the shape of this wheel hub is very good-looking, handsome in stillness and elegant in motion. The 19-inch pre-40 and post-35 explosion-proof tires look good at the same time at the same time part of the comfort is sacrificed. The 525-inch 18-inch flat tyres are not so hard to drive.

II. Interior decoration

Generally speaking, this generation of 5-series interior design is not so amazing, it is a classic and comfortable feeling. Although a large number of physical buttons are retained, for me, I still prefer the blind convenience brought by physical buttons, and the matching of keys still has a sense of design and hierarchy, so my personal feeling can still reflect the advanced sense.

Everything in the car is facing the driver. Physical buttons have a good texture and are easy to use (individuals don't quite agree with the whole car big color TV and some gaudy configurations)

Driver's view-the most intuitive feeling after getting on the bus is that the seat is very comfortable. I went to test drive 56e. This seat should be the most comfortable in the same class. As soon as I got into the driver's seat, it was impressive and it was hard to ignore it. I think this is also one of the points that many cyclists finally choose the 5 series, at least I feel that I am (it's a pity that I can't provide a leather seat) The steering wheel has a good grip and delicate steering feedback (even the leather steering wheel has been cancelled in the new 5 series).

530 configuration-active braking, 12-speaker hi-fi, keyless entry, comfortable entry, steering wheel shift, segmented skylight, seat memory, steering wheel memory, front seat heating (easy to use in winter)

If you start and stop automatically, you have to turn off the ignition. Otherwise, there will be a setback when the traffic lights start and stop.

Automatic headlights and automatic wipers, these two are easy to use.

Wireless charging of mobile phone-charging is very slow and hot. 14p can't be put into the shell. I wonder if the new 5 series can be promoted.

The chicken leg file has replaced the new 5 series with a small pick, which may be difficult for many cyclists (I don't quite accept this, so after experiencing the interior design of the 3 series and ix, I decided not to wait for the new 5 series).

Storage space is really very small, barely put the next packet of paper towels.

The copilot enters the field of vision– I like the ash wood trim board very much, which is one of the things that I liked to lead the sport at the beginning.

With a 12.3-inch display, the new 5-series is visually more attractive with curved screens and crystal lights, but the cash is more focused on driving.
The right rearview mirror reverses and flips this function is more chicken rib, the downward flip angle is too large, full view of the ground can not see the situation behind the car.
I would also like to complain that the rearview mirror of this car always stops askew. I don't know what the reason is. I have to doubt my skills, but I saw that many riders in the forum also reported this point.

Back row experience-the rhomboid seat looks very advanced, and the back seat is designed with a sunken Radian, which fits well with the body.

Back row space

The central floor bulge is quite high, and rear driving is inevitable, isn't it?

The space of the trunk is relatively deep, but the left and right floor rises, resulting in a usable area of only one piece in the middle. The electric rear door "kick" function is used frequently, but you need to be careful that there are no obstacles above it (such as a three-dimensional garage). Otherwise, you may run into it.

Front engine room layout-compact and regular

Night effect-atmosphere lamp is a bonus.

On a rainy day, the car was washed very clean

The light reveals a touch of blues, which is very elegant.

Comfortable entry can better reflect the pressure-sensing key approach, welcome light blanket automatically lit, like awakening a sleeping horse, you can even feel his strong breath and the desire to ride the horse on the road.
This configuration can still satisfy the inner vanity (several friends have mentioned this point on the bus).

III. Comparison of car selection

Cars that have been driven by relatives and friends: VOLVO S90, Mercedes-Benz E260, so I choose a range of cars: 56e, S90, Lexus ES

Mercedes-Benz E: the previous generation E-class, the atmospheric appearance and elegant interior left a deep impression on me. However, I don't feel much about the appearance of this generation of cars. When the taillights look far away at night, I always think of them as eight-generation Accord (no wonder the new E exaggerates and puts four Mercedes-Benz signs in the taillights); the space-the driver's head is rubbed against the hair and the back row is spacious; the low configuration does not have an electric taildoor and cannot be closed (verified in the second-hand car market-common fault). Driving experience-Mercedes-Benz generally gives people a lazy feeling, whether it's throttle response or steering feedback (cutting to S+ power is very sharp); the ride experience is very good, filtering road bumps is very complete. When it comes to Beijing Mercedes-Benz E, I have to mention that there are really many faults in this car. When I have driven, the windows can not be closed, and the car collision warning is inexplicably "Didi" alarm (during the AEB test of a car emperor, Benz E also gives an alarm when there is no barrier).

Mercedes-Benz sports comparison in the same frame

530Liquor E300L copyright-these two cars should be compared the most. Compared with the same frame, BMW is more aggressive and Mercedes-Benz is warmer.

Audi A6L: the interior gives people an old-fashioned feeling, and the whole car is so big that even if it uses a lot of straight line cutting and triple screen design, it can't suppress the overall sense of maturity (according to me, it can't be suppressed without a big teacup in the car). The seat is hard, but it is real leather; the driving feeling is like a cart. After entering the 4S store, it is difficult to turn and park at low speed, but this feeling is not obvious when driving on the road (the German car is stable after all, the throttle is 80). The price of 45 seems to be in the early 40s, and some of the ones that have been out of the warehouse for a long time can get 37-38.
VOLVO S90: Volvo should be a good car, driving to Xiamen a few years ago. The whole department should have power for high power, and all kinds of configurations are basically complete; Volvo's core safety-active braking and active avoidance, has resolved several dangerous situations on the highway; driving-it is easier to use every day, and the highway 150 is also very stable; space-the front and back rows of the head are very spacious, and the back row I think should be bigger than the E class; the price is probably less than 350000. This car may have a little more glitches, and the brand strength is poor.
Lexus ES: why this car is included in the comparison, mainly because the father pushed Lexus. I think the appearance of the mine car is all right. What do you say about the interior decoration? sales are definitely not as good as German science and technology. In short, I think it is practical but not good-looking, and mainly because there is a Japanese family at home, I want to have a change of taste.
BMW 5 series: the appearance of this area, I think it should be able to score 9; driving-BMW handling and driving texture itself is self-evident, and coincidentally, the test driving route is the same as the A6L, so it is really easy to distinguish in driving control, although there is no 3-series precision, but it is definitely the only gear in 56E (I am responsible for this).

All in all, Mercedes-Benz looks richer and has luxurious interiors (the new E is a different story), but less dynamic; the Audi A6L doesn't feel like it at my age.
What is BMW, which represents the Bavarian spirit, is Germany's rigorous pursuit of machinery; it is not only a tool for commuting to and from work, nor is it a bargaining chip for you to go out to do business, it is your favorite model in the toy basket when you were a child, and it is a boy's innocent and fiery dream. Some people have said that "to buy a car is to buy a brand identity." the overall feeling of BMW is exercise and control, which for me at the age of less than 30, can meet my own needs for driving and my family in terms of ride. and there are certain business attributes, the 5-Series is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice, so it is finally settled.

The 4S store sees that the standard axis 5 series is very handsome, which is really the kind of temptation that you can't help but look at it a few more times (boy deceleration belt )

Take the car to the road and become the owner of the 5-series car.

Refueling for the first time

After sticking the film in the store, the overall sense of the dark film is stronger and more handsome. Haha.

5 Series Sports or luxury? A picture. Feel it.

In terms of the leading configuration: the sports version looks younger and stylish, the 19-inch wheels are more handsome, and the rear wheels are wider, adding motion control attributes; the deluxe 18-inch wheels bring a softer ride experience and the sound quality is upgraded to "Harman Catton" 16-horn stereo. In fact, what I saw on the road, most of the deluxe version are older small bosses.

525Accord 530 driving experience

After driving 525 and 530, generally speaking, there is not that much difference between non-violent driving. When the traffic light starts to step on the throttle, 530 can give you a stronger sense of push. 525 power is not fierce, but it is also relatively fast; when 5 adults are fully loaded, if you want to overtake at 120 at high speed, 525 power is not as easy as 530, and the engine sound is louder. It is quite comfortable to drive 525 every day, and it is enough not to pursue fierce driving. It can only be said that it is not as powerful as 530.

525Li motion

It's very interesting to see a 6-Series BMW owner.

IV. Expenditure

The price is sold a little first, because there may be adjustments in the sales terminals in the past six months, but I have also gone to 8 stores in Hangzhou (including 10 stores in Shaoxing and Huzhou), so if you have a recent concern about the 5 series, you can talk to me privately. I can send you the price comparison and some of my own summary of avoiding the pit. (think it is useful to like and support )

5. Experience of using a new car

5 series daily driving situation, feel more flexible than the previous B-class car Camry, the same section of the small angle into the parking space, Camry also found it difficult, 5-series actually easier to enter, this for the car length of 5 meters 1 car, it's really good.
The driving feeling is delicate and calm, and the turning feel is slightly heavy, and there is a kind of "sticky hand" feeling. The change from light to heavy is very linear. Every time you change lanes or corners, you can feel the interaction between the car and people. That feeling is difficult to describe but unforgettable. This may be the charm of the BMW.
Acceleration is sensitive and linear, and power is available on call. B482.0T engine with ZF's 8AT gearbox, the gearbox has clear logic and fast gearshift-the acceleration process is smooth and gentle, especially after switching to Sport mode, it will be a completely different experience. Throttle heel, lane change overtaking are more confident, you will have a strong desire to accelerate and overtake on the road. A deep step on the accelerator at the traffic light late at night can still bring a little bit of driving pleasure.
The chassis is hard, which is a direct sense of rigidity, and it is a "thump" feeling when passing some expansion joints with a larger drop, which is mainly restricted by the suspension and the explosion-proof tire with low flat-to-flat ratio (the tire pressure is a little better now). However, it brings better support in the bend, and the roll of the 60 ramp is also smaller.
The NVH control of the whole car is very good, at the speed of 120, the speech of the people in the car is still clear; the effect of sound insulation and tightness is very good, and the sound of honking is very small during the test drive. After opening the window, it is found that the sound insulation effect is good. The sound of closing the door is also very textured, that is, the force of opening the door is a little strong, so it is easy to bounce directly to the car next to it.
Comprehensive fuel consumption, the previous friend's 525, showing mileage of more than 20,000 kilometers, comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.6. At present, I consume 7.6 more fuel on the viaduct, and I am more satisfied with this performance.

Advantages and disadvantages

1.Carplay is fast and easy to use, and the car is basically connected automatically. But when playing music and navigation at the same time, there will be occasional murmur when entering the navigation "thump"; the music and navigation volume should be turned on at about the same level (but feel that the navigation volume is too high), otherwise, as soon as you enter the navigation, the concert will suddenly be so small that there will be almost nothing. Just like the music suddenly gets stuck, the experience is very bad. (if you have encountered any riders, let's have an exchange.)
2.Eco driving mode-the driving power feels like 525, but it saves energy and fuel, and can be used when there is not much fuel on the highway.
3. Low speed setback, there is a sense of drag-the new car is more obvious, when the speed is 30, put the throttle off and glide, there will be two obvious slowdowns when the speed is 29 and 15; at present, there is some improvement, there is basically no feeling of driving on the road in comfort mode, but there will be a very obvious sense of frustration and drag after cutting to sport mode and S gear (after upgrading the 0323 version of the car, the frustration is improved, it is not felt in comfort mode, and it will be more obvious in Sport).
4. It's a little heavy to press the horn-sometimes the battery car on the side is going to remind you gently, but it doesn't ring if you don't press it.
5. Active braking is not very easy to use-when I encountered a rear-end collision in the tunnel, AEB did not intervene (not even an alarm); when driving 5000 kilometers, only occasionally when the car was close to the viaduct, it would jump out and give a warning, but there was never any brake intervention. The pedestrian safety warning has jumped out twice, only when the pedestrian crossing from the right has walked to the left of the front of the car and is no longer on the track (what you have encountered before, you can communicate together)
6. I make an occasional noise-when I pass through uneven roads, I occasionally make a "da da" sound, but it is generally fine if the road is smooth.
7. Phonetic wake-up word-the wake-up word is "Hello, BMW", but it will be called out whenever "BMW" is mentioned in the car. It's no use resetting personal arousal words.

The solution of abnormal noise of seat belt buckle

After installation, the abnormal collision between buckle and B-column is basically solved, and only one on the side of the co-driver needs to be installed; the disadvantage is that the material is not very good, and the smell is very smelly when you first buy it. At present, it may be that the hot tape expands and the abnormal noise in other parts of the car is significantly reduced.

Skylight-the most chicken rib configuration. Because afraid of abnormal noise has not been opened once, it would be better to replace it with fixed glass; in summer, the glass on the top of the head is hot, and the air conditioner cannot hold it, and it is hot from above, and the sunshade curtain is really not as easy to use as the partition on the 525 and the standard axis (the new 5 series seems to have been replaced by an electric partition). The configuration of the domestic skylight is really flashy. On this point, you can try it for yourself. after driving around on the road in summer, touch the ceiling and curtain with your hands, and the difference is obvious.
525 and 530 skylights are also opened in different ways, which has been verified in the auto parts city.

525Li

530Li

My BMW mobile phone APP, you can check the locking of the vehicle and start the air conditioner remotely, and you can turn on the air conditioner in advance before getting on the bus in summer, which is really easy to use (what other practical functions do you have to communicate with you?)

VI. Talking about the New five Series

The new 5-series, the overall appearance is more flamboyant, square, angular, the interior is the use of the new 7-series design style-curved screen, crystal light belt, bring a sense of embracing interior. Generally speaking, it is more mechanical and technological, but its luxury and elegance as a business car are weakened.
Compared with the new E-class, it feels that BMW is more BMW, Mercedes-Benz is more Mercedes-Benz, these two cars are becoming more and more distinctive, they are like long-legged beauties and hip-hop cool girl, so that you do not have to wander and struggle between the two, but you can directly choose what is inside you.

New 5 Series or cash

Let me cite a series of data here. BMW sold 171142 5-series cars in 2022, with owners under 35 accounting for more than 60%, compared with 145804 for Mercedes-Benz E and 120357 for Audi A6 in the same period. With such market performance, the Seven-Generation BMW 5-Series is undoubtedly successful, and the current 5-Series has been continuously optimized and adjusted to a relatively perfect state since it was released in 2017. As for the new 5-Series, it is true that it will be more athletic and technological visually, but it still needs to be tested by the market. The current 5-Series may become a new generation of classics or be overtaken by waves. Let's wait and see.

We like to find a few roads at night and step on the throttle deeply; we like to drive a little faster in a corner with a good view; and we like to feel the psychological comfort after overtaking on the city ring road where we can never drive fast. enjoy the whole process of releasing energy after gasoline burning. If you like it too, congratulations-distinguished BMW owner.
