Hello, everyone. I am a new BMW 5-Series owner from Beijing. In my thirties, I am a freelancer. The original purpose of writing this article is to record and commemorate my second BMW, and the second is to share with you the mental journey from choosing a car to picking up a car. It is hoped that this article will have some reference and help for people who intend to consider administrative luxury cars within 600000 of the car purchase budget. In order to thank you for your support, the sexy welfare blockbuster of Love car and Little Sister is attached at the end.

Choose a car:

In fact, I didn’t have much trouble in choosing a car at first, because my goal is very clear. I consider all the models of this level, and I don’t involve other types of vehicles. Here I only express my personal point of view. I only emphasize that I have no reason to choose, but it doesn’t mean that the car I didn’t buy is not good enough.

First of all, Germany is the same door, I once carefully considered the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, there are several reasons for not choosing, first of all, the style of the model is too commercial and stable, even a little old-fashioned, not quite in line with my personal aura and age. Secondly, the seats of all models are leather, not leather, and the back cushions are too short, affecting a certain degree of comfort, as well as the aluminum structure and materials that should have appeared on the vehicle, which were castrated after being made in China. ..

Then there is the Audi A6L, which is not considered because the model is too old and about to be replaced. The American Cadillac CT6 is that I don’t like its diamond cutting angular appearance and interior design (aesthetic taste varies from person to person, can not be forced). In addition, the gearbox is not smart enough, and the preservation rate is on the low side.

I am not interested in the British Jaguar XFL myself, but I only like the unique color of British cars-British green, which can definitely improve the temperament and dignity of the car. Unfortunately, today’s domestic models do not provide this color, coupled with some minor criticism of Jaguar Land Rover and late residual value rate, so it is also pass.

VOLVO S90 from northern Europe is actually very cost-effective, but I think this appearance and interior is a little cool, this brand is like this, like very much, do not like it is full of indifference, it really makes me not interested. However, the whole department is equipped with a standard urban safety system and autopilot assistance system.

The Japanese brand new Lexus ES was released after I booked the car, but I saw media photos and test videos at that time. This generation is simply beautiful in appearance, but I have to give up considering the positioning of the car and the pursuit of power. GS is too niche, and its appearance is not popular. However, the quality control price and after-sales service of mine cars are still very gratifying. As for the mainland like Lincoln, Acura’s TLX-L, Infiniti’s Q70L and other models have not been in my consideration, all aspects are not very popular, the final result chose the BMW 5-Series long-axis version.

The main reason for choosing this model is that the appearance and interior decoration and brand style of this model are more in line with my personal style, the technical configuration of the vehicle is in line with the current mainstream level, the residual value rate of second-hand car is also relatively high, and the matching of engine and gearbox has enough power reserve. Performance is relatively calm. Good configuration and handling performance, chassis heavy suspension toughness, all aspects of sound insulation and noise reduction NVH excellent (like the car has a lot of advantages in the eyes).

Finally, some friends may wonder why I did not choose the short shaft 5 series, the choice of long wheelbase is entirely for the next few years of life planning, family needs and personal workplace needs, the long axis version can better meet my needs in these aspects.

After choosing the model, all that remains is to confirm the purchase of the specific configuration model, that is, the choice within the car system. The 5-series long wheelbase is divided into three major power models: 525Li, 530Li and 540Li, among which 525Li and 530Li all have M sports suit and deluxe set appearance and interior style, 540Li has only one configuration and a luxury set style, 525Li has only one configuration version, and 530Li has three configurations.

Through the official website to query the above information and combined with my own needs, I finally chose the 530Li premium luxury set version, the reason is to pursue a certain power first, so give up the low-power 525Li, and it is also the reason for the vehicle configuration, because many of the 525s on the 530s do not even have the qualification to choose.

The configuration of several other 530s can not meet my daily needs. I have considered the 530Li XDrive all-wheel drive for the sake of safety and starting acceleration, but I can think about it over and over again. After all, I am not in the northeast and rarely enter the mountains in winter, so I Pass. The only difference in configuration is that the four-wheel drive version can be equipped with Bowers&Wikins stereo. I might as well spend the money on a configuration that is more suitable for me.

In terms of appearance, style and set, the benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom. My inner positioning for the 5-series long wheelbase version is a business car, coupled with so many comfort and luxury configurations, so I prefer luxury suits. It should also be noted that the two style sets are not only different in appearance, but also different in interior decoration, which is reflected in the color matching of interior panels and seats, and the vehicle configuration is different under different sets of the same version of the vehicle.

Some of the configuration differences between them can be achieved through optional suits, while others can not be achieved, such as Dokta volcanic red leather unique to sportswear, and no choice in luxury sets. If you are a high-profile controller like me, you might as well do your homework and spend some time on the configuration list before buying a car, especially for owners who have extra requirements for optional configurations.

If I am not satisfied with the basic configuration of the 530Li luxury suite, I naturally want to add a few configurations:

1. Waist support
By the way, all the cars at this price are located mainly luxurious and comfortable, or high-end models, but there is no standard configuration, which is too necessary for long distances and in big cities with frequent traffic jams.

2. Front seat ventilation and rear seat heating
In order to make my back more breathable and comfortable in summer, my mother doesn’t have to worry about my wet back anymore. .. The purpose of back row heating is to improve the comfort of back row passengers in winter, which is still a very practical configuration for leather seats in northern winter, not to mention that the price of back row option is not very expensive, which can be regarded as a sharp weapon to improve the back row.

3. Rear electric side sunshade and rear windshield sunshade
No car in the family has ever been pasted with glass film. No matter what grade the car is, it may be affected by my father’s habit. Except for the first car posted at home more than 20 years ago, none of us have this habit so far. It’s not that our leaders don’t have so many private needs. As for the summer sun exposure, I think it can be overcome, not so exaggerated. In addition, I always think that cars covered with film are too old compared with those that have not been pasted before. in my memory, luxury cars I have seen since childhood have side and rear sunshade curtains, which are all standard for commercial cars, and give consideration to a little shading effect at the same time, but now, with the reduction of car prices, more brands in the entire automobile market have reduced this configuration in order to control costs.

Book the car:

This is very simple, Beijing dealers began to talk to cars, it is not easy to make some money, in line with the idea of who is cheap and who has a car to buy, call *. But now most sales are not willing to telephone quotations, prefer to talk about customers to the store, this is mainly afraid of manufacturers’ third-party companies to inquire lower than the manufacturer’s price limit to implement the unfair and vicious competition, I experienced Wechat and personally went to two 4s stores, that this time is the transition between 18 and 19 new and old, 18 530Li luxury has no cars.

This model has fewer cars in each store and fewer luxury sets, because the 5 series has the largest volume of 525, and most people choose the M suit. When I couldn’t find the existing car at this time, I suddenly thought that my friend Fa Xiao was sold by an meized dealer, so I went to the store to negotiate through my friend. I was anxious to pick up the car. I took the last line of hope to pray for a miracle to get the existing car. However, after contacting another 4s store with the same company, I was told that no existing car could only be booked for 19 models, and after consulting the subtle configuration adjustments of 19 and 18 models. Although there is some dissatisfaction (the premium version has not been added basically, and some have been cancelled), in line with the principle that there is no outsider’s land, and the price is settled, 19 orders will be placed directly after the price is agreed.

I choose the color of the car is sapphire blue paint, that is, black, the carbon black that is blue in the sun and light can not be chosen under the luxury suit. With brown wood strips and rare white Nappa ivory white leather interiors.

There is not much to declare about the built-in configuration here. If you want to add it, you need to pay attention to:

1. If you only want to install front seat ventilation separately, it is not allowed, because the manufacturer does not provide separate optional service, and this configuration needs to be bundled with front comfortable seats, that is, front comfortable seat kit. The package includes the functions of electric leg support, waist support and adjustable seat flank tightness. The price details are as follows. The front seat is comfortable at 9800 yuan and the front seat is ventilated at 6600 yuan. The cost of the whole set is a combination of two prices (Nappa leather is required for the M set model plus leather fee).

2, there is another configuration that needs to be bundled and installed is ACC adaptive cruise, this configuration also does not provide separate installation, and needs to be equipped with enhanced driving assistance functions at the same time, all of which can be installed to achieve semi-autonomous driving assistance (ACC). I did not install this configuration, considering that I do not run a lot of high speed, although traffic jams can also be used, but after all, it is not Tesla, I think BMW should often drive more and more interactive.
This is the end of my addition. When you buy a car, you still choose to install your own configuration function according to your own car habits. At the same time, customized vehicles generally do not have existing cars, and the customization cycle is slightly longer.

Pick up the car:

On October 20, 18, after a long wait for nearly three months, I came to the 4s store to see the car. I couldn’t help feeling excited and turbulent at the moment when I saw the real car. It shone into your real life from now on. I think for most people who love cars, they feel the same way when they pick up the car. Next, no nonsense directly on the car map, limited by personal time at that time, mobile phone shooting, please forgive me.

The first photo of my love car:

After picking up the car for more than a month, I called a friend who loved the same car but was better able to take pictures of the 530 for me (the previous picture was taken this time), and also in order to show more materials for interested friends. When I came back to sort out the photos, I really liked it more and more. I believe all the friends who bought the right car have had this feeling.
