Unwittingly, it has been six months since I picked up the car, perhaps in order to better complete the answer paper for half a year, so although I have been compiling this post for several days since the beginning of this month, I have been unable to write it for a long time. I don’t know how to write this beginning. I didn’t realize anything until I accidentally read the above words last night.

No matter how confused you are before buying a car, no matter how rational you are when choosing a car, no matter how excited you are after picking up the car, if you can only use one word to describe the process, I think for me, only the word “fate” can include it. As I wrote after picking up the car in March, “there is a spring breeze in March, there are apricots (fortunately) do not need plum (media)”, although as early as the fourth day of the Lunar New year, I started this year’s car-watching trip (the reason is a car-watching trip, not a car-choosing trip. That’s because I wasn’t sure I had to buy a car this year. After that, I saw a lot of cars back and forth, from the original model 3 Performance to model Y and iX3 that non-SUV does not buy, to completely give up trams and focus on traditional fuel models, and also aimlessly looked at a variety of different models of many brands. Finally, I finally set the goal on the Audi Q5L 45 sports model and BMW X328i, and after nearly two weeks of careful comparison and selection, test driving, and bargaining. In the end, he turned around to bring up a 21 BMW 525Li M sports suit that had never been considered. And this is a decision made in less than 15 minutes when there is no test drive or price comparison for the 5 series. This may be a behavior that is extremely incompatible with my age. This may also be caused by “life can not get around a blue sky and white clouds.” so this dramatic scene still feels incredible and cannot be explained clearly in words. It seems that everything has been arranged in the middle of nowhere. It all happened so naturally and naturally. Now that I have been using a car for six months, I will look at this decision half a year later. The bond with the new 5 series is indeed the best choice at that time. The 525Li model fits best with the family responsibility of middle-aged people like me, the pursuit of a happy life, and the interpretation of personality by car lovers. I am also sure that the wonderful moment of picking up the car six months ago was also a small blessing in my life.

Those who know me know that I am a car lover, so even though the Weigu window film (one of the items included in the compulsory decoration) was affixed before picking up the car, the original window film was torn off and re-pasted in early May. After being scrubbed by the takeout boy and paid a bloody price, I learned from the bitter experience and finished the installation of cars and clothes in those days of the college entrance examination. after a lot of trouble, I spent the money of a leading version of 530 to “serve” a 525. In addition, I feel that my mind is also relatively delicate, after all, this is not my first car, so I also have a certain understanding of the vehicle. After half a year of use, I still have a more comprehensive understanding of 21 525Li models. First of all, I would like to briefly report to you that although he is an old driver who has been driving for more than 20 years, and although today’s cars have basically completed the running-in before they leave the factory, it only refers to the running-in of the engine, not the most important running-in between people and cars, including braking systems, tires, and self-learning gearbox. Only in this way can we get a good use experience in the car life in the future. During this period, like a child who is good at discovering and exploring, I gradually discovered a lot of advantages and disadvantages of the new 5-series (of course, some of them are because I chose an entry-level 5-series model). For this reason, I have written many articles to express my views, won the affirmation of many car friends, and of course heard some disharmonious voices, which are all very normal. Each car forum in the home is already an open platform for everyone to communicate. “if there is no change, there will be more encouragement”. This applies to the new 5-Series, especially the 525 model, and of course it also applies to me. With the increase of time together, because of love, we will have more and more tolerance for the things we like, and I happen to be a partial emotional person, so generally speaking, the car experience in the past six months is still good, with the increase of understanding of it, quantitative change finally gave birth to a certain qualitative change effect, in a word: it is you, 525Li M sports suit version of this car I still quite like.

This assignment is my report post on car purchase and car use over the past six months. I would like to use the following four parts: car purchase, car introduction, use scene, and clever suggestions. I also ask you to continue to support, encourage, criticize and correct.

Remember how easy it was when I bought my first car in 2005. I took my driver’s license in July of that year, and then never touched the car again. On December 10th, with 100000 yuan in cash in my pocket, I went straight to GM Chevrolet, not knowing that I could pay by credit card. It was also the first time I entered the car 4S store, not to mention looking at the car in advance, comparing, test driving and so on. It can be described as “three noes”. On the same day, I drove the car directly back, it began to rain on the road, and I couldn’t turn on the wiper. I stopped at home when it was dark in the evening, because I didn’t know how to turn on the headlights, and I rubbed the rear of the car a little bit, which made me sad all night. After several times to buy a car, I feel more and more sophisticated, but also know how to study the car online, take a look at the evaluation articles, several models are compared and then bought.

According to this program, the process of choosing a car and buying a car this year is actually quite standard, but at last it was a little abrupt, .

The reason why I went to Tesla at the beginning, on the one hand, happened to be a big reduction in the price of model Y on the market, and on the other hand, I was just considering buying a SUV, and my family also had the conditions to install charging piles, so I was moved. Then I found that the price of model 3 Performance is the same as model Y, and after test driving, I found that the 0100 acceleration in less than 4 seconds was really touching, but at the same time, I did find Tesla’s interior materials, sheet metal workmanship, and so on. In addition, I was more impatient, and Tesla had to wait for a few months to pick up the car, so I didn’t worry to make a decision. However, the first car can not stop, so began an aimless trip to see the car, Audi, BMW, Volvo, Cadillac all went to see, but also test-driven several models that have their own characteristics, but also have their own shortcomings. XT6 size I like, 6-seat layout is very suitable for my family, that is, the brake is really too bad, there is a kind of unstoppable feeling, the most can not accept is the problem of low-frequency resonance; V90 appearance, interior, as well as a full range of safety auxiliary driving configuration I really like, but more than 45 price, there is also the problem of low-frequency resonance, have no choice but to give up Audi model saw a lot, only test-drive Q5L, the appearance is quite like, the interior is also acceptable, turned over on the forum, found that there are a lot of complaints about double clutch, and four-wheel drive system seems to report a lot of errors, coupled with that period of time to change the Q5L is about to appear on the market, so a big circle down or do not want to settle down to buy the passion, it is strange that the days did not consider to look at Mercedes-Benz. During this period, it happened that the iX3 official dropped 70, 000, and also went to test drive. I actually felt pretty good. On that day, I sat down and roughly talked about the price. At that time, there was still a discount of more than 20, 000 in the store, but the deposit was settled, that is, after sleeping for a night somehow, all kinds of doubts about the electric car occupied the absolute upper hand. I suddenly seemed to understand that what I need is not an electric car, or buy a fuel version of the SUV.

At this time, the choice in front of me is actually very limited, because I decided to choose a SUV of about 400,000 in the BBA, so there are only Audi Q5L and BMW X328i. Yes, you read it correctly, I still did not consider the Mercedes-Benz GLC, not the price, or some negative factors of online GLC, but I think Mercedes-Benz is too high-profile. It’s not suitable for me (maybe it’s a sign of sour grapes when you can’t eat grapes). In the end, it was Audi who pushed me to BMW, because I couldn’t talk about the price of the Q5L 45 movement, and the car didn’t show up, and the sales tricked me into talking about it in the store several times, which made me feel that the Audi experience was not very comfortable. so only the BMW X328i. There is an existing car, the color is also white, blue, carbon black to choose from, the evening of March 9 arrived at the store, the price is also down (there is no test drive, did not go to the second store to compare the price, look at me this monkey urgent ah, sweat! Who would have been attracted by the 525Li M sports suit version of the car parked nearby. After learning that the landing price was only 15000 more expensive than the X3, my original intention to buy the car began to have a problem. It was no longer SUV not buying, no longer considering configuration, but after 15 minutes, the balance was completely turned to the 5-series side, so the deposit was paid that day and the loan review was submitted. On March 11, I went to pay the final payment and insurance, paid the purchase tax online when I went home, and chose the license plate online. I put it in the store to decorate on March 12, and I brought it back with my wife on March 13th. The whole process of picking up the car was boring, so I didn’t say much about it.

The above is the whole process of my choice and purchase of the car. There is no understanding, understanding or love of the BMW brand at all. It is simply a matter of how many meters I have prepared and how much I can do as much as possible. Of course, there is also a large part of the reason, that is, because of my personality, my impatience makes my final choice seem a bit hasty and hasty, and my persistent habit finally led to the purchase of more cars this year. The most important thing should be the absolute decentralization of my wife to buy a car. I have not interfered with me once so far. I am really grateful to her. I often tell her that your savings have been used by me to buy a car again and again. Don’t you feel distressed? Often at this time, she just smiled and replied to me faintly, as long as you like it. From this point of view, my dream of buying another electric car in 10 years’ time may come true, .

Since the development of the 5-series, it has completed the replacement of seven-generation models, and there is no doubt about its external appearance. It has the robust aura of a C-class executive car, but it still maintains the inherent sports gene of BMW, and gradually forms its own unique style. Therefore, I have always liked the shape design of the 5 series. Although this generation of 5 series has also begun to use family design language in styling design, it is constantly changing. Didn’t you see the classic “blue sky and white clouds” logo on the engine hatch? is it always transmitting to you its everlasting sports charm and control essence? It’s just that BMW’s iconic double-kidney intake grille has become wider and flattened, integrated with double L-shaped headlights on both sides, giving off a more exquisite, stylish feel. And M sports suit version of the unique sports around, but also the 5-series bone in the sports attribute to play incisively and vividly, the whole front face reveals an unruly sharp strength. Come to the side, short front suspension + long rear suspension design, low front, slightly warped rear, so that it seems to have a taste of a performance car. And the body dimensions of the wheelbase of 5106mm, 1868mm, 1500mm and 3105mm respectively show us the incomparably long and gorgeous side face of the 5 series, so it is not too much to call it the most beautiful C-class side face, at least I think so. Although the tail line is not as avant-garde as the front face, the arrival of blackened 3D taillights and the real exhaust design of trapezoidal double sides also add a lot of color to it, so this generation of 5 series also appears to be more fashionable and young, which can be said to be all-inclusive. No wonder the sales of the 5 series this year are so amazing.

Needless to say, the following 5-series external design points, I wonder if you can get it?

The interior of this generation of 5-series has not been greatly redesigned, and it still follows the design language of the previous generation, and it is not much different from the earlier 5-series models in the layout of the center console. That’s why I call it interior, not interior. Open the door, look around, everywhere is the familiar taste of BMW, T-type center console, the shape is not classic, nor is it old-fashioned; silver trim, silver patch keys, piano paint panels, wood grain decoration panels and other materials, there is no particularly advanced place, fortunately, the workmanship and assembly level is good, the sense of luxury dare not say how high, but the sense of exquisite is good. Of course, it is commendable that technology configurations such as the double 12.3inch screen and the id7 system that supports OTA remote upgrades are not absent on the 5 Series. As a luxury brand focused on sports, BMW is fond of red. The interior color of Volcano Red is bold and avant-garde. Although the whole department is only seats made of imitation leather, it has to be admitted that BMW is a master who can exert the value of materials to the extreme. With this operation and collocation of 5 series interior decoration, you can not completely deny its sense of luxury, if there is no more luxurious interior decoration for competitive models. I believe we will praise the luxury of the interior of the 5 series. Of course, because my model is an entry-level model, so the internal configuration is relatively limited, such as 6-horn shabby stereo, such as outdated dual-zone independent air conditioning, etc., do pull the back of the 5-series. It seems that my wallet is the only thing that limits my feeling for the more luxurious and better interior experience of the 5 series.

There is one to tell you a real 5-series 525Li M sports suit version of the built-in situation.

Such as intelligent drag reduction intake grille, adaptive near and far headlights with LED follow-up control, 12.3-inch full-digital LCD meter, 12.3-inch central control large screen, mobile phone wireless charging, 11-color atmosphere lighting, voice control, mobile phone interconnection and wireless CarPlay, as well as third-party cooperation such as Tencent small scenes and vehicle remote management, a number of forward-looking technology configurations have appeared in the 5 series in the standard form. Even entry-level models like the 525Li are no exception. Not to mention the more advanced technology configurations available on high-end models, such as fragrance system, HUD head-up display, 360 panoramic imaging system, full-speed adaptive cruise system, tracked reversing system and more comprehensive safety-assisted driving system, the only annoying thing is that most of these configurations require extra money. Again, in 2021, when many models in the market, especially domestic brands, are generally equipped with rich safety-assisted driving systems, luxury brands, which have grabbed huge consumer dividends in China’s automobile market, are so “backward” in this respect. I think this is not the reason for the hindsight of brands such as BBA. For example, you will better understand that the 525 is not comfortable to enter, and all the 5-series seats use punching technology, but the entry-level model does not have seat heating, let alone seat ventilation. To take this example, it has nothing to do with the wallet, just hope that the 5 series can be more perfect in the presentation of the sense of technology, and provide a better experience for consumers who like it.

To put it in a heartfelt way, the technology configuration on the 525 is relatively limited. For more advice, pay attention to the 530 and above models.

I do not know when to enter the domestic models have to be treated with a longer wheelbase; I do not know when, A-class cars have close to the size of B-class cars, B-class cars have the same size as C-class cars, and so on, the figure of C-class cars in BBA is also gradually bullish. The proud “BWH” of this generation 5 Series with 5106mm*1868mm*1500mm, except for a slightly smaller width than the A6L, is fully ahead of the other two competing models in other respects, especially the excellent performance of the wheelbase of the extended version of the 3105mm, which is indeed much better than the standard axis version. In addition, the opening and closing angles of the front and back doors are very large, getting on and off can be very leisurely and elegant. As a classic BMW with sports genes, the front seats of the 5 series are not equipped with sports seats, even the M sports suit, which is a bit of a pity that the lateral support of the seats is not very good, especially the waist support adjustment is nonexistent, so the ride experience in the front row is mediocre. As a C-class luxury model of Ikea, the rear performance of the 5 Series is really bright, needless to say about legroom and head space, such as wide armboxes, aviation headrests, thicker cushions than the front row, adjustable backrest on high-end models, and so on, which can bring passengers in the back seat much better than the front seat. In addition, the vehicle storage space design is also relatively reasonable, this generation of 5 series is also standard with electric trunk cover, trunk storage performance, the depth is good, I feel that the lack of horizontal space.

To sum up: this level of models, especially the long-axle version, the space is basically a negligible problem.

I think when buying a car, many riders may be better than the three cars of the BBA class, and the reason why they finally choose the 5-Series, apart from the BMW dream that men can’t get around, they are more likely to go for the three big pieces of the 5-Series. Although the chassis and suspension of this generation of 5 series have also shrunk in materials, relatively speaking, the three major pieces are indeed the most honest and balanced of the three competitive products. Let’s talk about the engine first. The 5 series is equipped with a B48 series engine, and it does not introduce a 48V light mixing system with a high failure rate. it is a solid version of this engine with high and low power on the 2.0T line 5 series, with maximum power of 135kW and 185kW respectively, and maximum torque of 290N.m and 350N.m respectively. From the actual performance, even the low power version has a good power performance. The only regret is that this low-power engine has also been simply equipped. Matched by one of the best AT gearboxes in the industry, the ZF 8AT gearbox, the advantages of this gearbox are obvious to all, so I won’t repeat it here. At the same time, it also provides two xDrive four-wheel drive system models for consumers to choose from. In terms of suspension, it uses the common front double-arm type of this level, the rear multi-link independent suspension, and the subframe is made of all aluminum, but it is a pity that the rear suspension is made of stamping material, which looks a little uncomfortable, for our daily use, if we do not encounter the limit of driving, the impact may not be great, but the side inclination of the long-axis version is really a little large when crossing the curve, if you care about the fun of driving. The 5 series may not be the best choice. after all, even the 3 series is comfortable, not to mention the 5 series. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the 5-series four doors and the front cover and tailcase cover are still made of aluminum, which is commendable.

For power, driving control, in fact, only to drive in order to get the most accurate feeling, everyone’s feelings are not the same, therefore, if you are interested, you might as well give it a try.
