After picking up the car for two or three days, I couldn’t help but post a post to share my feelings about using the car. The car booked in August 18 happened to miss a quota that could also be changed. As a result, the sales helped me apply for the quota in November, and when the car arrived at the customs, it was already approaching the Spring Festival. I had the mentality of wanting to pick up the car for the Spring Festival, but I still failed to pick up the car before the year. After the car arrived at the store the next morning, I went through the formalities and drove the car away as soon as I finished the PDI. There is not much BB in the process of booking and picking up the car. I believe people are more concerned about the feeling of using the car.
First of all, the first point is quiet, so quiet that you can only hear the sound of air purifier and hand friction steering wheel when driving in the urban area, and there is not a trace of superfluous vibration in the cab. The recent generation of BMWs create this feeling that can not be measured only by the decibel meter. The high-frequency vibration of the powertrain is isolated, and the high-level sense in the car is quite strong, in order to avoid the subjective evaluation behavior of excited car owners. Specially asked Toyota, Lexus, Audi owners to evaluate, the first question is: “how much is this car?” Anyway, it’s very quiet, the standard of a D-class car.

It’s very compact, very BMW.

I arrived at the store before the 4S warehouse manager signed to confirm the end of the car.

Looking at the piece of word-of-mouth, I found that some G30 owners felt hard. In fact, the suspension of this car was not hard, but the hard one was the explosion-proof tire from the original factory. (my original factory was equipped with Michelin Haoyue 3ST explosion-proof tire.) the next day, I changed the ordinary tire of the same size Michelin race 4 ordinary tire, hit 2.9 bar tire pressure (the corresponding inflatable pressure 290KPA on the tire product logo, although I felt that this figure was a little exaggerated. But still did) the first feeling is that it is very resilient, the sense of the road becomes warm, the high-frequency vibration is filtered out a lot, and the low-frequency vibration is about the same, which should be due to the high tire pressure. In terms of tire grip, I waited for a normal walk of dozens of kilometers before I began to feel the performance of grip. At low speed, I was looking for a parking space in the basement, and the sense of steering was much more blurred than that of explosion-proof tyres. Nine times out of ten, this is because the explosion-proof tire body is hard, so the thief is sensitive at low speed. Once we reach our normal driving speed of 60-120, the grip advantage of race 4 is very obvious. At this speed, I obviously feel that the steering response is faster, the front direction of the car is obviously more with the hand, and the body is very light, and the support is not worse than the explosion-proof tire. Of course, this is compared with the explosion-proof version of Haoyue quiet tire. Some buddies may say that the sports performance of P ZERO explosion-proof or Goodyear F1 explosion-proof tire will be much better, but when the performance of the above performance is achieved. The tire noise is a little smaller than the Haoyue 3ST explosion-proof, not to mention the explosion-proof version of the sports tire, the gap between the relatively excellent ordinary tire and the explosion-proof tire is still very large, it is conceivable how cheap those models equipped with ordinary tyres are in terms of subjective driving experience and media evaluation.

Racing 4

Racing 4 rear wheels

In this picture, the original py3st is explosion-proof, and the actual tread width is much narrower than that of the race 4, but the target is the same size.

The shock absorber action is very fast, much more comfortable than I expected, but the back is obviously harder than the front, the overall rebound damping is too large, the compression damping is small, the style is light and flexible, and the support is general when the action is faster than some small bends, but if the steering movement is softer, even if the high speed over the big bend support is very sufficient, the rear follow is very strong, along with the outside suspension compression. The front bundle of the lateral rear wheel is getting smaller and smaller and may even become a negative front bundle, and the front bundle of the inner rear wheel in the stretched state is getting bigger at the same time. To put it simply, the rear wheel swings slightly in the opposite direction of the front wheel, which is very little. But this slight dynamic change on the rear wheel can make the front wheel grasp the ground less, and the front wheel is more dominant in the bend, which is why it is easy to push the head when turning around. However, the reason why the front wheel grip is obviously better when crossing the corner at high speed, of course, this is certainly not just the skill of the G30, many BMW models are adjusted in this way, the feeling of the G30 turning is still very BMW, and there are basically no shortcomings in suspension.

In terms of power, B58 naturally needless to say, the sound is rich, 450 Nm more than 1000 rpm pushes you to go, and the gearbox logic is very good, even if in most cases in comfortable mode, the foot touches the brake and immediately reduces one gear, ready for acceleration for a while, starting from more than 1000 revolutions, the gearbox will slowly deepen the throttle as the speed rises, and the gearbox will not rise. The feeling that power keeps coming out as the speed goes up is really OJBK. Praise the gearbox again, the running logic is perfect. Fuel consumption is interesting. On the day of picking up the car, four people my friend drove ran at a highway of more than 8 liters. I drove about 10, and the urban area was directly 15. It was very flexible, depending on driving style and driving status.

Intelligent intake grille

In terms of interior decoration, the advanced feeling brought by Napapi is needless to say, and it is quite OK. At first, I was a little worried about the black inside, but after seeing the real car, I found that the black Napa would not appear to be depressed or downgraded, because it was smooth, the seats moved from the front two 7-series seats were simply OJBK, and the back of the chair was adjustable, equipped with manual clamping headrest, greatly relieving cervical fatigue, and selected seats for active ventilation. It’s okay. I feel a little worse than Audi’s. Audi’s can feel cool through a thin coat.

The front is just right for the two men, and that’s all that’s left.

I had a little regret that I didn’t choose the steering wheel heating. At that time, I felt that the position of the button on the spokes under the steering wheel was very awkward, so I didn’t choose it, so now I have to clip it with my own thighs when my hands are cold.
I chose the negative ion generator with fragrance system, as the smell of the new car is still heavy, I temporarily took a Philips air purifier to absorb for a period of time, so I can not feel the role of fragrance and negative ion generator. I will share it later.

Harman sound performance is OK, I have been plugged in to listen to music, CARPLAY to wireless connection, sound effect loss, yesterday specially found a music professional friend to toss about the equalizer, the overall OK, that is, the treble part is a little awkward, turned down no details, turned up the harsh, I heard that Baohua diamond treble is not harsh

I’m a little embarrassed to actually brag about my car. There are still shortcomings. The standard axle has a common problem with space. In fact, the actual legroom is not a problem.(I am 179CM) Because the rear seat cushion of the G30 is very long, the picture looks like the legroom is small, but it’s actually okay. What’s the problem? The seats we sit in the front row are all tilted, and the front seat back is relatively close to the people in the back row, so the people in the back row will visually feel cramped. It feels like the space is just right. It’s absolutely impossible to hold another girl and sit on my lap. There’s also the option problem that I’ve been complaining about for a long time, adaptive suspension with active anti-roll bar and rear wheel steering, and middle regulations. You can’t choose it, just complain about it ten thousand times!!

Compared with the driving experience of standard axle and long axle, I tried riding the 530Li twice in the 4S test drive, focusing on feeling the difference in the chassis. It was said that the rear suspension of the standard axle is harder than the front suspension, and the same is true for the long axle (the 540Li with the rear axle has not been tried for temporary comparison) However, the rear suspension of the long axle is too hard but does not provide good rear follow-up. The overall feeling of the car body is not as obvious as the standard axle. In terms of comfort, there is not much difference between the long axis when filtering out some high-frequency vibrations and potholes. However, when passing through some slightly undulating waves, the long axis model feels like a large luxury car sitting in the car, that is, the body does not follow the fluctuations of the road surface. However, the standard axis model is close to the road surface, and the body moves with the road surface, giving it a slightly tight feeling. These two performances completely depend on the personal happiness. Generally speaking, the style of the long axis standard axis is quite clear, and there is some gain. The question of which car to buy is like how spicy one should order when ordering hot pot. Everyone has their own category in mind, but to put it bluntly, it will definitely be spicy within their acceptable range hahahaha
That’s all for the time being, and finally, I would like to praise the sales attitude, everything OJBK
