This old horse of mine is already 8 years old, and time passes faster and faster. Without realizing it, 8 years pass by. Even if he is a child, he is already in the second grade of primary school.
Taking advantage of the winter vacation at home and doing nothing. If you can’t leave your city during such a special period, you can go out for a morning run. I have to admit that there are indeed many lazy people nowadays, and there are not a single car on Tanwang Road. I parked my car on the roadside, slowly enjoyed the sunrise, and took a few photos with my camera, which was also a souvenir. For eight years, this F18 has never bothered me. It has no leaks, no minor problems as others say, and it has not cost a penny to repair it.
A few days ago,’BMW Customers’ organized everyone to talk about the ten-year old horse, which suddenly resonated with me. More than ten years ago, I still drove the E90. It was my first car, made in Regensburg, Cinnabar Red. I still relish it when I recall it now. That thing taught me what control is and what driving fun is. Although it only has a mere 2.0-liter displacement, it is okay for a child who has just entered the workplace with a driver’s license. Later, in 2013, BMW began to replace the N20 small-displacement turbocharged engine on a large scale. At that time, it was brainwashed by various friends playing BMW around. If I don’t catch the last bus and get an N52, I’m afraid I’ll never have a chance in the future. So there was no other choice, no hesitation, just the F18 530li. To date, the 258-horsepower N52B30 has nothing to boast about. This power may not even be enough in the current impetuous street market, leaving only some illusory gimmicks, such as texture and Technology, and diehard like me.
The attraction of a car is its appearance, engine gearbox and interior. I arrange it this way to my requirements for the car. Everything is just right, not particularly prominent, and it meets my own car needs. I don’t need any personal design. I don’t go to high-end occasions, and I don’t have customers to pick up. I’m just an ordinary person. The places I visit most are vegetable markets and supermarkets.
The electronic systems for power and interior are ultimately a thing of the past, and will eventually be buried by time. Looking at the NBT system of that time from a current perspective, it was completely eliminated, let alone the naturally aspirated N52. BMW’s system updates are getting faster and faster. It is indeed one of the leading manufacturers in Germany. Seeing that MGU is about to be replaced. At the end of last year, I also changed to a console with carplay for convenience, so that I didn’t have to always look down at my mobile phone navigation. Safety comes first and adds some freshness.
The photos are all taken casually by the camera without any retouching, restoring the most realistic state.
