Preface

Hello, everyone. I would like to introduce myself first. I am a foreign student. I go out to study in high school and now work in the software industry. After drifting in an island country in Nanyang for more than ten years, I finally returned to Chengdu. The top priority of returning home is to pick up the car, lift the car, pick up the car. The car has been driving for a month now. I would like to share with you the joys and sorrows of the process from choosing a car to using it. Only people who love cars can really understand it. I have seen too many car pick-up posters on this website, so this post is also a sharing and a reference for those who are going to buy a car. The following contents are divided into pages, and the catalogue is at the top.

In the first section, you must get a car.

I think boys, basically, or most of them, can’t get rid of the temptation of cars. Whether it is an ordinary economic family car, or a luxury business car, or a sports car, it has a special attraction for boys. Anywhere can be messy, but the car must be clean, and everything must be repaired, modified and retrofitted. I have studied and lived in the island country for more than ten years, where public transportation is very developed, and the government does not encourage driving, so I haven’t had a chance to buy a car of my own (mainly because of qiong) in my thirties. The desire for a car lasted for a long time. I decided to go back to China at the end of last year. No matter what, I wanted to buy a car that I wanted.

I like a picture very much, but the most suitable car to put in it is actually the Civic Emperor.

Section 2 choosing a car is more careful than choosing a house

The original plan is to buy a joint venture car, less than 200000, economical household use, non-luxury brand after returning home. But people’s desires are infinite. Trust me. Look at the brand one by one, the model one by one, and the configuration one by one, so it seems that the budget has risen to 500000, positioning C-class cars or SUV of luxury brands. I feel that I pay more attention to buying a car than buying a house. The house is random, and the car is serious.

1. Mercedes-Benz C Class E
First of all, we must mention the ancestor of the car, Marseille (Nanyang’s Chinese translation of Mercedes). C-level beauty is beyond description. Although it is one level smaller than the E class, I think the beauty of the car’s appearance is not lower than the E class at all. In particular, the front face and taillights of the sports version of the big standard are simply beautiful. Every time I see C in the street, I will feel so beautiful. Now just changed the class C taillight, there is a “C” on both sides, I think it is far less beautiful than the taillight of the previous two bars. C-class mid-term change before going to a Mercedes-Benz store in the island country to test-drive an imported C180, the car is easy to drive, the power response of the sports gear is good, various functions are very complete, equipped with automatic start and stop, Auto hold and other configurations, will not make you feel like a low-equipped car. I feel that Mercedes-Benz is like this, even if it is an entry-level model, the price is not low, and the configuration will give you enough. Unlike the classic version of A4L, it is really a beggar in the name, and the configuration is extremely scarce. I think the design of the car is much different from the E-level. I can not very accept the towering wooden panels on the center console, and the three big air outlets above feel very abrupt, not dignified and dignified, and do not move, and the central control screen is very small and feels very low-equipped. After the change, the C-level, the central control screen has finally become high-end, the steering wheel is also more beautiful, joined the liquid crystal dashboard, but the standing wooden panel has not changed. After returning to China, I went to a Mercedes-Benz 4S store. Don’t be too arrogant. We said we wanted to listen to Little Berlin and sell that smelly face. The C-class is beautiful but the car is a little small, and the E-class interior looks good, but its product power, whether comfortable or controlled, is lower than the 5-series, coupled with the poor overall quality of the North Ben, so it finally gives up the Marseilles.

The front face of class C is really beautiful.

The C-class rear is slightly smaller, but the design of the taillights and the lines of the whole body are very elegant. Mercedes-Benz does know the design direction of luxury cars.

It is difficult to accept the central control of wood decoration standing in the middle.

The E-class interior perfectly shows the design level as the ancestor of the car. The whole interior is dignified and elegant. But if you look at a real car, it feels like that, which is different from the luxurious atmosphere in the picture. If you look at the real car a little more, you will feel that the plastic feeling is quite strong.

two。 Audi A4L A6L
After the replacement of the A4L, the appearance is very beautiful, the interior decoration goes the technology style, a little plastic feeling, the luxury feeling is not good, the personal feeling does not like also does not hate. The steering wheel, aircraft gear lever and virtual cockpit full LCD dashboard are really well designed. The virtual cockpit has a sense of science fiction. After a test drive of 40TFSI, which is 2.0190 horsepower, the power experience brought by double clutch is good, low speed has a slight setback, and when speeding up, it is a bit abrupt, which is not only a disadvantage but also an advantage, which makes you feel very direct. As soon as you get out of the car, you push your back and move forward, which is suitable for people who like the sense of acceleration. When booking the 5 series, the old A6L offered a huge discount, but I didn’t buy it, because although the old A6 is still dynamic and beautiful, the interior is too out of date to accept no matter how cheap it is.

The appearance of A4L is slender, simple, neat and simple.

Audi’s virtual cockpit, to put it bluntly, is an LCD dashboard. Thanks to its outstanding design, the whole shape is very cool and has a sense of technology.

3. Volvo XC60 S90
I have no doubt that Volvo pays attention to safety and environmental protection. XC60 is a little impressed, but he can’t understand that Volvo is so confident if it doesn’t grow after localization. Compete with Q5 GLC-L with unlengthened SUV? The front face of the S90 is beautiful, but like the taillights, it feels like two staples, or square brackets clip the car in the middle. S90 duty-free car, the discount is unbelievable, T5 top price, than 525 cheaper than tens of thousands of you can believe. S90 T5 Zhiya deluxe version, ultra-low price, great power, ultra-high configuration, plus the original factory Bauer, duty-free price is only 337000, I highly recommend. The main reason why I didn’t choose is that Volvo’s interior and brand are not my type.

4. Cadillac XTS ATS-L CT6
The power of the Cadillac is really good in terms of parameters, but some people say it is stupid. It is not easy to evaluate here, because there is no test drive, and I do not know GM’s power adjustment level. XTS and ATS-L power parameters are good, the car is large, cost-effective, but also a luxury brand, in fact, quite recommended. I paid special attention to CT6 before, a typical American big car, which is really big and beautiful in appearance, but the modified CT6 is not as dignified and elegant as before, but it is more dynamic. The back row space is general, it feels that GM does not understand the Chinese people’s obsession with the back row leg space as deeply as BBA Volkswagen does. The car’s own BOSE stereo is full of bass, but the midrange and treble is not clear enough. The teardrop headlamp on the front face is not very acceptable, so PASS falls off.

The newly modified CT6, headlights and air intakes on both sides of the front are not very harmonious. It is estimated that GM’s designers themselves are very contradictory, not only to add the popular side air intake to increase the dynamic sense of the whole vehicle, but also can not give up the family teardrop headlamp design, so it can only be imposed together. There were few people who could accept the design of teardrop headlamps, but now if we make such a combination, it is estimated that fewer people will like it.

CT6 before the change, personal feeling is more beautiful than cash. The front and rear of the car are very dignified.

5. Lexus ES
There is no doubt about Toyota’s quality control and quality. All kinds of car commentators give priority to praise for the driving texture of mine cars in NVH. The new ES should not be too beautiful. When I saw the real ES car for the first time in a parking lot in the island country, I felt that the car was very big and beautiful. The dynamic parameters of the ES200 are too low and there is no time for a test drive. As the saying goes, the ES200 cannot be driven by ordinary Buddhist car owners. It must be driven by the Buddha. The high-end ES is full of power, but the price is not attractive. Now the whole country is scrambling for ES, and we have to wait for price increase and car lift. Lexus feels like a leader in second-tier luxury brands, but I still prefer Mercedes-Benz and BMW, so PASS is dropped.

No matter how beautiful ES looks, the real car is much more beautiful than the picture. Toyota luxury car, the design is in place.

6. Volkswagen Tuang
As a huge 7-seat SUV, Tuang really moved me. I actually want to buy a big SUV, which is tall and ferocious in appearance, spacious inside, comfortable for my family, not to mention long-distance travel. Tuang just meets these conditions. It seems that the former boss of Volkswagen said that Chinese people like to buy simple big cars. But Volkswagen Group’s conscience index, still dare not compliment, the previous emissions fraud, the smell of asphalt, Touareg engine leakage, and the handling of the broken shaft incident, simply. So I gave up on Volkswagen.

Is it a good deal for more than 300,000 to buy such a big SUV? The appearance is very powerful and bluffing, which is bigger than Touareg, and the price is only half that of Touareg. I have never been in Tuang, but I have heard many people say that if the road is a little bit worse, the texture of driving will reveal that Tuang is always only 300000 of the car.

7. Nissan Tuda
I personally went to the 4S store to see the car twice and test-drive it once. I was really excited to buy it at that time. This hardline SUV, with a very high sitting posture and a ferocious appearance, can simply meet all my requirements for a pure off-road vehicle. The car is very big and heavy, but the power parameters are general, 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, torque and horsepower are not high, but drive, do not feel meat at all. I think such a hard SUV matches the Japanese quality-controlled naturally aspirated engine very well. You drive an off-road vehicle, go to the wilderness, go to the Gobi desert, and do not pursue too much power. What you need most is the stability and reliability of power. No matter how you squeeze the engine, it will not drop the chain and output power reliably. The interior of Tuda is very general, with a strong sense of plastic and no sense of technology, but Nissan’s big sofa is really good, the air conditioner is cold, and the trunk is also very big. It is estimated that there will be a seven-seater model in the future, and it is worth considering when buying a second car in the future.

Tuda looks simple, honest, clunky and square. In fact, hard-line off-road vehicles need such a design. The hard SUV brings you a sense of security, a sense of weight, and a confidence in contempt for road conditions that the city SUV can’t match.

In the third section, you don’t have to pay tax, that’s all.

The purchase of tax-free cars for foreign students looks very complicated, but in fact it is very simple. The so-called duty-free car means that the state buys cars of joint venture brands for their own use for those who return after studying abroad, and the imported parts of the cars are exempt from customs duties, and then exempt from vehicle purchase tax. The price of the duty-free car is set by the manufacturer and cannot be cut down. The duty-free prices of most brands are a little lower than the general market price, including Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, high discount, Mercedes-Benz and BMW are lower. The price of duty-free cars is generally updated every quarter or half a year, which can be found on the intermediary’s website. Within one year after graduation, foreign students must return to their country once, then go to the embassy to apply for a certificate for the return of overseas students, and then choose an intermediary (this is the requirement of the car factory, do not accept individual applications). There are only two domestic agents doing this. Just choose one at random. After the materials are sent to the intermediary, meet with their people, sign some documents, and then they will help you go through the customs formalities and take you to the 4S store to pay the deposit and place an order with the car factory. Most manufacturers allow optional equipment when booking a car (which can be seen as a reward for waiting a long time before picking up the car). Then according to the production plan of the factory, wait. My order placed by New Year’s Eve in February was taken off the line at the end of March and arrived at the 4S store in early April. Then contact the intermediary to take you to the 4S store to pick up the car, do duty-free, buy insurance, license, one-stop service. The car can only be used for its own use. if it is to be sold within 10 years, the purchase tax will be paid on a pro rata basis when the ownership is transferred, and the amount of payment will be reduced year by year. Among the key points, return to China within one year after graduation (subject to the date on the diploma), that is to say, enter the country once and stay for one day. Only in this way can there be tax exemption targets, otherwise you will not be able to get them. The duty-free car is purchased directly from the manufacturer, so it has nothing to do with the 4S car booking, and the 4S store will not give you any freebies. Like all cars purchased on the open market, duty-free cars have three guarantees from the manufacturer, warranty and so on. When the encyclopedia is over, add yourself a drumstick.

Section 4 make a decision in an instant

After all kinds of watching the car test drive, I am not satisfied with it. At the end of last year, I went to the BMW 4S store in Chengdu, mainly to see the newly listed domestic X3 and 3 series. Series 3 went into the car and took a look at it, and then directly denied it. The interior is really old, no matter how to optimize the control, the interior should not be too backward, there is no sense of luxury cars, a strong sense of plastic. There is no sense of design in the control of the dashboard, especially the posture of mechanical handbrake, letting go of the handbrake and pulling the handbrake, unless it is the pursuit of pure motor mechanics. The appearance of the 3 series is also relatively ordinary, basically lagging behind the cash class C and A4L. However, we can not blame 3 series, after all, it has reached the end of life, the replacement of 3 series is also beautiful, but do not have the patience to wait.

After watching the 3 Series, I was ready to see the X3, which I had been in love with for a long time. I didn’t intend to see the 5 Series, but I happened to pass a 5 Series and looked at it in the front row of the 5 Series. I immediately felt the interior of the luxury C-Class car. the sense of luxury is much higher than that of the 3 Series. The central console electronic lever platform, the whole feeling is very spacious and atmospheric, not the compact feeling of a car at all. The LCD dashboard is regular, the steering wheel is large, rough and textured, and the central control screen is very large and wide. Then go to the back row and sit down for a moment, wow, it is not the same level as the 3 series, the front and the left and right are very wide, your body is stuck in a bucket seat, and the package makes you feel like you are sitting on a small single sofa. Looking at the center console and atmosphere lights in front of you, you have already made up your mind: this is the car. Sometimes this is the way to choose a car. You can tell in an instant whether it is your own car or not.

Then go to see X3, in fact, there is not much interest. The X3 is not lengthened after it is made in China, so the space in the back row feels general. The interior of the driver’s seat is basically the same as the 5-Series, but it doesn’t feel as dignified as the 5-Series. Although it looks basically the same, it always feels a little worse. After all, X3 is a SUV with a good field of vision. X3 looks beautiful, a bit like X5, but it is still less domineering than X5. The configuration of the X3 is similar to that of the 5-Series, and the price is slightly lower than the 5-Series. It’s a good car.

After locking the 5 series, start to select the configuration. The principle of choosing configuration is to spend money on the configuration you want most, go to the original factory if you can, and refuse to modify it later. Spoon headlights, as the most important thing in appearance, must go directly. Although it is not gold ears, but there are relatively high requirements for sound, the original car with its own paper horn must not be acceptable, do not want to add later, so Hamann directly on. Waist support must also be on, long-distance driving who knows who uses. Seat heating is also needed, cold winter weather, into the warm seat, there will be a full sense of happiness. Automatic parking also wants to go on, oneself is a novice, and the feeling of automatic parking is also quite cool.

In terms of power, I had concerns about the power parameters of 525 before test driving, and I felt so low. no, no, no. Later, specifically in order to experience power, a short test drive of the 525, the power in the comfortable mode is regular, step on the throttle a little bit, overtaking is very light and brisk. After switching to sports mode, the character of the whole car has changed greatly, there will be an immediate power response by tapping the throttle, and the car will also move forward at the same time, which will not remind you of the word “low power”. After completely assured of 525 power, I contacted 4S car a few days before Chinese New year in February, gave a deposit of 20,000, locked 525LIM, white sports version, installed spoon headlight bag, Haman bag, waist support, heating, automatic parking, and finally added 3 years factory extension when picking up the car. The price of a naked car is up to 410000.

Strange, the car has been booked for two weeks, and I suddenly regret why I didn’t go to 530, because the 530 naked car of the duty-free car is the same price as the 525 that I ordered. 530 increased power, as well as skylights, leather seats, rear electric seats, but the price is only tens of thousands more, the price is very cost-effective. So he immediately contacted the 4S sales who booked the car at that time and asked if he could change the order, but he got a reply that the lock order of the car factory could not be changed. People are like this, what can not get is always better, but also sent a post for comfort. Later, think calmly, 525 is also very good, full of power, equipped with the configuration is what you need most, 18-inch wheels can make you feel more at ease to drive, this is the real cost-effective choice (said so many self-comforting words, I want to throw up).

Then entered a long waiting period, the car was notified to go offline at the end of March, and the car arrived at the 4S store in April. Because the business of returning home is not yet done, we continue to wait in the island country, and the car has been parked at the 4S store. Finally, everything has been done and set off for home. It is already May, and the haunted 5 series can finally be seen.

Section 5 put on contact lenses, put on top-notch kids, go, pick up the car

International Labour Day just finished his long holiday and flew back to Chengdu in the evening. 16 pieces of luggage for 4 people dare you believe. When I got home, it was nearly 12:00. I was really tired, so I took a bath and went to bed. When I woke up in the morning, I went to the 4S store to go through the formalities. The car had to be licensed, so it could not be driven away until the next day. Although I had been waiting for the bus for a long time, I felt very calm when I got to the 4S store. Even though I knew that my beloved 5 Series was quietly waiting for me somewhere in the store, the cumbersome procedures still made me forget to see the car. I have seen other people mention duty-free cars on the Internet before, saying that the attitude of 4S stores is not very good and impatient, because they do not make money from it. But in the 4S store where I booked the car, especially the sales, the attitude is quite good. When the formalities were finished and the number was selected, the salesman said he would take us to see the car, and he began to get excited. When I walked out of the side door of the exhibition hall, I saw the long Dabai 5 system parked outside the door. No mood to appreciate, only focus on all kinds of inspection, including paint and interior decoration is broken. The sales handlebar started and the dashboard showed a mileage of 4 kilometers. It felt so low that I forgot to take a picture at that time. I was worried that there was something wrong with the car, such as breakage or scratches, but I didn’t find anything wrong after careful inspection. Except for something similar to a stain on the passenger seat, the salesman said it would be fine to wipe it with a wet towel. Open the cabin cover, see the neat layout and huge engine, put your ears close to the engine, pretend to listen to the engine sound, pretend to understand. After the car inspection, it was noon. I had a meal with the intermediary on the second floor of the store. the food was good, with back-pot meat, fruit and so on. After lunch, ask the sales sister to arrange for me to install the original factory RDC tire pressure test. After all this, the agent drove me to do duty-free, and then bought insurance. When I got home in the evening, the sales lady sent a message telling me that the car machine system of 525 can not be brushed RDC tire pressure monitoring for the time being, waiting for the system to be updated.

The next afternoon, 4S informed that the license plate had been installed and the car could drive away, so he rushed to the store. The car was parked in the delivery area and fireworks were prepared. Tie the red rope to the car’s ear, and the salesman began to patiently explain various functions. After that, he asked me to sign an inspection form. I thought of the oil-leaking Mercedes-Benz some time ago, so I said I was going to try it. After I got on the bus, as soon as the fireworks rang, I drove out slowly. I went around the 4S store, but didn’t dare to leave the gate of the 4S store. I thought there was no problem, so I signed the car inspection form. Before leaving 4S, suck up the colorful pieces of fireworks in the car wash area of the store, run straight to the gas station and fill up the first box of gas. The road is still very excited, very careful driving, slowly to get familiar with the throttle brake.

After driving for a few days, I went back to the 4S store to buy a 3-year extended guarantee from the original factory at a price of a little more than 10,000. The main reason to buy an extended warranty is to take care of the car for a few more years. I don’t want to worry about the expiration of the warranty prematurely. When I change the car in the future, it is easier to sell the car that is still in the original factory warranty period, and the cost of the extended warranty can also be collected back. I was worried about the warranty scope of the extended warranty, whether it was the same as the warranty scope of the new car, and then checked in many ways, and the scope was the same, so the children’s shoes with doubts in this respect can rest assured to extend the warranty, and the car can rest assured to drive.

The first time I saw the car, the mileage was 4 kilometers and I forgot to take a picture. When I came to pick up the car the next day, it became 7 kilometers. It is estimated that the car is installed and debugged for RDC tire pressure monitoring in the 4S store.

There is an old driver in the family, listening carefully to the engine. When the cold car first started, the engine made a lot of noise, and after a while it became smooth and quiet. The engine cabin has a neat layout and the beauty of industry.

The sales girl is helping me apply for Zhaopin driving.

Take a picture of the car with the car. My people are so small from this angle. There is a red rope tied to the ear of the car, which is auspicious and safe.

When I was driving out of the delivery area, I was caught and took a picture. Look at the side lines of the 5 series, the wheels, it’s perfect. At that time, I was very nervous, because the door of the delivery area was too narrow, and there was another car parked in front of the door, so I almost rubbed against the door when I turned the corner and reversed it several times before I came out.

At the sound of fireworks, ten thousand taels of gold.

The first tank of oil, 95 68.8 liters, 532 soft sister dollars.

In the sixth section, do a ceremony and do something (there is a fishy picture, please browse carefully)

After picking up the car, the family arranged for an acquaintance they called the “White Fairy” to hold a ceremony for the car. The night before the ceremony, a local rooster was prepared, very big and heavy, with a big red crown. According to the time calculated by the white immortal, he arrived at the home of the white fairy. White Immortal’s lover, after XX the chicken with a kitchen knife, took the chicken around the car for a few laps, and then the chicken X was scattered all over the ground around the car. Then pluck some chicken feathers and use Chicken X to stick to the front and rear of the car, the door, and the four wheels. White Immortals said something to us to the effect that they would bless their safety and so on. Then tie it to the car’s ear with a red rope (with a “twist” pattern on it). After thanking the White Fairy, put the rooster into the bag, carefully jump over Chicken X, open the door and leave. Of course we eat roast chicken in the evening.

The rooster goes around the car.

See the chicken feathers on the back of the car?

The scene was shocking. Before and after the car body, four wheels are glued with chicken X chicken feathers.

Verse 7 is *.

1. The smell of the car
The car has just been brought back, there is a new car factory smell, more obvious, but not that kind of pungent smell. In fact, many European and American foreigners also like this new car smell very much. In a certain treasure bought 7 kilograms of activated carbon, scattered in the car, in fact, the heart knows that the effect is minimal. There is no other way to let the smell of the new car go away by exposure and ventilation. After a few weeks of driving, the smell is almost gone, but I’m still used to opening all the windows and driving for a while to change the air and then turn on the air conditioner.

Put some activated carbon, comfort in the heart.

two。 power
Although I have been entangled with 525 and 530 since I booked the car, I have tested 525 before I bought the car, and I know in my heart that the power experience of 525 is powerful and absolutely non-fleshy. The question of whether there is enough power is very subjective, and a large part of it depends on the power level of your previous car. If you have been driving a very powerful car before, you will probably feel that the 525 power is not enough. It is also suggested that friends who repeatedly struggle with 525 motivation must go for a test drive in person. No matter how you look at the forum and listen to other people’s comments, you will not be able to calm your tangled heart. That’s for sure. I would also like to mention here that some friends say that 525 and 530 are about the same power. I don’t think this is appropriate. The 530 is indeed dozens of horsepower higher than the 525 in parameters and higher torque, so in the same case of rapid acceleration, the 530 must be more powerful than the 525, especially in the rear section. For those who have special needs for acceleration and full load running at high speed, don’t worry about going to 530, or preferably 540.

Now the new car is in the running-in period, according to the manufacturer’s manual, the speed is no more than 160 kilometers (120 at high speed, 160 for death). ), the speed does not exceed 4500 rpm, always drive steadily, occasionally cut the sports gear a little passion, but also dare not to board oil. Here is a subjective description of the three dynamic modes:
(1) comfort mode
This model focuses on smoothness and comfort, full of power, smooth and linear output. If you step on the throttle a little deeper, the power will be output quickly, and the overtaking will be calm and calm. If the throttle is deeper, the gearbox will be down and speed up. Before you pay much attention to it, the car will soon exceed the speed limit. Usually when carrying my family, I use the comfort mode, turn off the automatic start and stop, open calmly and carefully, and feel the comfort of the 5 series carefully. The only thing that bothers me is that the dashboard in this mode has no sense of design.

(2) Economic model
Only for fuel saving. Touch the throttle gently, you can hardly feel the power. Unless you step on the gas pedal, the power output will be slow. If you need to overtake or accelerate rapidly, you need to step on the throttle deeply and roar before you have a more obvious dynamic response. The economic model suggests that it should be customized and turn off the energy-saving of air conditioners. BMW air conditioners are not powerful, and energy-saving air conditioners are even less powerful.

(3) exercise mode
After switching sports mode, the temperament of the whole car changed greatly with the change of dashboard style. The throttle becomes very sensitive. If you step on the gas pedal, the power response will follow, and the speed will increase very rapidly. At this time, I feel like driving an electric car, the delay between the throttle and the power response is very small, and the speed increase and throttle push are almost synchronized, thanks to the engine skills of the Mobil gearbox and BMW. You step on the throttle a little more, and the gearbox immediately drops one or two gears, which is a short delay, and then there is a sudden push back, the engine starts to roar and the car rushes forward. The sports mode is the embodiment of the level of BMW sports adjustment. Sometimes when I drive alone, I switch to sports mode during off-peak hours, and when the road is safe enough, it is really cool to drive a car. I forget that I am driving a C-Class car of more than 5 meters. I forget that the engine is adjusted at low power, and the power is not like a 184 horsepower, 290 torque engine at all. At present, I have not experienced floor oil until after the running-in period. The sound of the engine in sports mode is more obvious, so I usually turn off the music and drive in the roar of the engine.

3. Brush power
For those who bought the 525, it is not recommended to study what modified brush power. The power of BMW belongs to the kind with low parameters and high actual power, and it is not as suitable for modification as Honda. In the past, the X3 owner brushed the power to scrap the engine in the forum. The 525 and 530 engines are both 2.0T, but parts such as cylinder blocks and crankshafts are different. If you use ECU to increase power, it will affect the performance of the whole engine, light will affect reliability, durability and life, and heavy will make the engine scrapped. If there is a sudden power problem while driving, it is very dangerous. During the warranty period, if something goes wrong with the engine, the manufacturer will refuse the warranty because you have brushed a system that is not officially meized by BMW. At that time, the money to repair the engine will make you regret for a long time. The loss outweighs the gain.
The advice is not to change anything, do not brush anything, and so on after the run-in period, need to speed up sharply, rest assured to step on the throttle, 525 can also let you push your back forward, the original engine will provide you with reliable power.

3. Spoon headlamp
Spoon headlights do add a lot of points to the appearance of the car. Every time I get close to the car on the road, I feel a little satisfied when I see the spoon lamp mapped on the rear of the front car. In terms of brightness, it has not compared with ordinary angel eyes, but it should be brighter than angel eyes. Spoon lamp gives people a strong sense of design, avant-garde modeling. Angel eyes are not ugly, they look very ferocious in some angles, which makes the car look domineering. I think the only hard wound in the angel’s eye is the halogen turn signal, which directly lowers the grade of the car by 20 meters, but there are many friends in the forum who change to LED bulbs, which is simple and cheap. The horizontal bar of the spoon lamp turns to the light belt, which is really beautiful, especially when the emergency flasher is turned on, it has a good appearance and grade. Headlights follow the steering function, the feeling of driving on the road is not obvious, when driving in a dark place, you can obviously feel the follow-up turn signal. I think the follow-up steering driven by the current motor is the technology of the previous generation, and it has some disadvantages, such as the durability and stability of the drive motor, which is definitely not as good as the LED matrix headlights. Automatic high light is not as good as LED matrix headlights, because matrix headlights can avoid illuminating the opposite vehicle more accurately, except for the opposite vehicle body, it can continuously illuminate the rest of the area around the vehicle, but the spoon lamp can only turn on or turn off the high beam. There are certain conditions for the opening of automatic hyperlight, and it has not yet been driven out of the city, so I have not felt the effect of automatic hyperlight. There are street lights all over the city, and the speed is slow. The automatic high beam can be turned on, but it won’t work.

I took it when I was putting up the headlight film. Beautiful.

One of the most beautiful spoon lamps.

4. Appearance
Deluxe version and M sports kit version, radish and green vegetables have their own preferences. At the beginning of choosing a car, I couldn’t accept the big mouth in the middle of the face before sports, but after seeing the real car, I found that the black grid inside the big mouth was so cool, and the whole front face was more dynamic and powerful than the luxury version. The deluxe version is more calm and dignified, very bearable, and the front face of the M sports kit version is radical. The side lines of the car body are long and perfect, and no defects can be found. The black decoration design of the lower part of the rear of the car, different people have different opinions, but I personally think that this black decoration is very good-looking when it is very clean and bright after the car wash, and has a great sense of design and movement. If the whole tail is white, it will be worse. The taillight is simple, the recognition rate is high, and the LED turn signal is good.

M sports kit version of the front face, impeccable.

The perfect line of the whole car is impeccable.

The black decoration under the rear of the car is more and more beautiful and full of sports.

5. Interior decoration
The LCD dashboard has a general design shape, especially the comfortable and economic model, which is not comparable to the elegance of Mercedes-Benz and the technological sense of Audi. Fortunately, the shape of the dashboard in sports mode is OK, and switching to the past will give people the desire to drive. Big chicken leg as an iconic design of BMW, the shape and feel of a good one, the next generation of BMW’s family interior will not have a big chicken leg. The entire center console, including the central control screen, is well-behaved, and to be honest, it is not as cool as the new A6 and not as advanced as the E-level. The central control of the 5 series is a kind of design that looks exquisite, low-key, dignified and not grandiose. Complain, the interior is more easily stained with dust, driving a car for two weeks, the center console is obviously stained with dust. It seems that you should always have a clean soft towel in the car. 525 is an imitation leather seat, the back seat can not adjust the back angle. The shape of the seat is good. I think the texture of the imitation leather is better than that of the ordinary car, and the softness of the seat is OK. The back row ride is very comfortable, because the car has been driving on its own, so I have not experienced the back row ride experience while driving. There is no rear skylight, the skylight before yesterday is bigger than the average car, and the lighting and ventilation are good. There is an ashtray on the back door, the shape and switch damping are good, but whoever wants to smoke in the car, I will kill him. The number of colors available for atmosphere lights is not as exaggerated as level E, and you only like purple and blue. Consider brushing out other colors later.

The dashboard in sports mode is the most beautiful and makes people have the desire to drive. It was taken at 1000 kilometers.

Low-key, exquisite, calm interior style, with atmosphere lights, is really beautiful.

6. Air Conditioner
Air conditioner, be sure to complain. The car was picked up in early May, and Chengdu was not very hot. In June, when the weather warmed up, the weakness of BMW air conditioning was revealed, and it was really not cool enough. Whether it’s automatic mode or manual mode. However, I mastered a little skill: when the car was very hot, especially when the car was exposed to the sun for a short time, and when I first got on the bus, I directly pressed MAX A hand C, that is, the maximum power of the air conditioner, and then the air conditioner began to cool and blow like chicken blood. Of course, there was a lot of noise in the car at this time. Put up with it for a while. Soon the car completely cooled down, and your face was blown ice. Then you turned off MAX A Maple C and replaced it with ordinary cooling. At this time, the car was also quiet, ordinary refrigeration can also maintain low temperature, you will not complain about air conditioning cooling meat. If you only use ordinary cooling, in the summer, whether it is the car or yourself, it will never cool down.

7. Automatic parking system
After I am familiar with the operation of the system, it is easier for it to identify the parking space. For this system, most people feel cool, but it also has some practicability. The side parking space downstairs at home is not very large, so it is really troublesome to park a car as long as 5 series. At the beginning, I came to park by myself, because I couldn’t grasp the timing of reversing, so I got stuck between the two cars several times, and I couldn’t move. Later, with automatic parking, you can really pour it into it. It should be noted here that if there is a green belt of vegetation next to the parking space, it may interfere with radar ranging, making automatic parking difficult or failed. More importantly, the radar can not detect the road teeth, so the wheels can easily be rubbed by the road teeth, so in the process of automatic parking, we should pay attention to the surrounding environment and road conditions, especially the road teeth. Automatic parking will turn in place and feel like it will break the electric power steering.

9. Automatic start and stop
It works. When you want to save fuel economically, do not turn it off, and the air conditioner will not be affected (the car system will not activate automatic start and stop when the air conditioning load is too high), and the start and stop will not make much noise. When the vehicle starts, tap the throttle, the engine starts immediately, and the delay is basically not felt. For students who are worried that automatic start and stop will affect the life of the engine, there is no need to worry, because the power system, including engines, starting motors, and electrical equipment, including batteries and circuits, are specially designed and enhanced for automatic start and stop. you can rest assured to use this system. Isn’t it good to save energy and reduce emissions? If there are passengers in the car, it is recommended to turn it off, because automatic start and stop does affect ride comfort, especially at the start.

10. Vehicle navigation
After using it once, I almost got lost on the road. Talk is better than nothing, or obediently use your cell phone to navigate.

8. Constant speed cruise and automatic parking
Two horses that are easy to use, liberate their feet, who knows who uses them.
Constant speed cruising can only be activated at a certain speed while driving, and the brake will be cancelled immediately with a click of the brake.
Automatic parking is recommended to turn off when moving at a low speed or when following the car frequently, and use only the brakes to control the vehicle, which is easier.

Section 8 the attack of Haman Catton the Great

I don’t have a HIFI fever, nor am I a golden ear, but I have some pursuit of music and stereo. When I first saw the car, I listened to the BO sound of Q5L in Audi 4S store, which was very different from the paper horn of the original car. BO’s medium, low and high three frequencies are very good, powerful, hierarchical, the whole car is very dynamic, people are unconsciously high up. Later, I auditioned Little Berlin on Mercedes-Benz GLC, and the effect was just as good. So far, we know that the car stereo must be upgraded, and we also need to upgrade the big brand stereo of the original factory, low and low speakers and high-power independent power amplifiers, as well as the surround system, everything is indispensable. Of course, enthusiasts can also modify the stereo that is more expensive than a car. BMW can only choose Harman and Bauer, and the 525 cannot be installed with Bauer, so it can only be surrounded by the original Harman L7, otherwise it will have to be chosen for half a year. When I listened to Harman for the first time, I really felt that the effect was not good. Fortunately, I was psychologically prepared. I had read the post before, saying that Harman’s audio needed to adjust the equalizer to achieve its level. I tried to adjust it, strengthened the high frequency and low frequency, and sure enough, the effect came out. The bass is strong, the treble is clear and sharp, and the mid-range is just right. The songs I listen to are very messy, and there are all kinds of messy music, but Harman will certainly live up to your expectations and will show the style of each song incisively and vividly. Chengdu traffic jam is very serious, while blocking the road, while listening to wonderful music, traffic jam is also a kind of enjoyment. Download World of Warcraft expansion CG soundtrack, such as Burning Expedition, Wrath of the Lich King, Delano overlord, etc., don’t look at just game music, these are made by Blizzard at a high cost, listen to them with Harman in the car, the effect is not too good, the sound field is not too majestic.

In addition, the music must be intact and say the important things three times. Only lossless can produce good results. I have some music, because it is old, or too unpopular to find a lossless version, Harman can hear a lot of distorted details. Mulberry heart

Section 9 decorate something and do something

1. Car glass film
As a loyal fan of the three mothers, I must choose the three mothers. First of all, the main use of the car film is to protect, especially when the front windshield is broken while driving, it has a great limiting effect on the spatter of broken glass slag, followed by ultraviolet and heat insulation. I don’t think the thermal insulation of the car film is meaningful, because if the car is going to be exposed to the sun all day, unless it is a very dark film (dark film will affect the line of sight, even the side window glass also needs a transparent field of vision, so it is not recommended to use it). Otherwise, the thermal insulation effect is minimal. The high-tech ones are lighter in color, good in thermal insulation and expensive in price, but is it worth spending so much? When a car needs to be exposed to the sun for a long time, buying a sunshade that completely shades the sun, or the clothes that cover the whole car, is the really effective solution.

In addition, the car film must not buy a small factory. The reason is that the car film is affixed to the inside of the window, and if the toxic and harmful gases are released, it will have an impact on the health of the passengers. I bought it directly in the official store of the three mothers of a cat. After I sent it to my home, I went to the meized store arranged by the store to put up the film. The car film is rolled up in a long cylinder just enough to fit in the back seat. The car film was bought and sent home as soon as I picked up the car, but the film was put on it nearly a month later. The reason is that the windows cannot rise or fall within a few days after the film is applied, but the new car needs to be ventilated frequently, otherwise the smell of the new car will be difficult to dissipate. Friends who are advised to pick up a new car should not be in a hurry to apply the film until the smell of the new car is almost gone.

On a Saturday morning, alone, without washing my head, I went to the meized film shop. A little brother is skillful in measuring, cutting and shaping. When I started posting it in the car, I began to freak out because I had to spray water and drive the water between the film and the glass, soaking the fabric on the roof and post, and most importantly, the water would flow into the door, in the gap before the center control, and in the gap under the rear glass. The younger brother told me again and again that it was all right, but I was still very sad in my heart, and people with cleanliness addicts could not afford to be hurt. It was posted until 1 p.m., and it was finally finished. The inspection found that there was a trace on the glass film on the left back door. The film was broken. The shopkeeper and the younger brother apologized again and again. I also knew that sometimes defects in the film were inevitable, so there was no accusation. I contacted the after-sales of the three mothers with them. Later, the three mothers sent the car film to the home, and then went to the store to paste it. After posting it, they found that there was a scratch, and this time there was a fire. Fortunately, the car film was pasted twice, so she tore it off and re-pasted it, and finally put it on perfectly for the third time.

2. Streaming media driving recorder
From the very beginning, I decided to install a streaming rearview mirror so that I could see the situation behind the car in real time. The streaming media on a certain treasure is messy and messy, and finally chose 3XX’s newly listed streaming media rearview mirror, with the function of driving records before and after. Also in a cat order, after receiving to go to the designated store to install. Installation is very fast, the younger brother is very skilled, but when connecting the ACC power supply, I have to pry open the cover near the door, which scares me enough. I repeatedly remind the younger brother to be careful and careful again and again. Another brother in the store came over to see Harman and complained, “525 now brings Haman?” after my 525 Emperor was despised for the first time, I smiled and told him it was optional.
The color, resolution and field of view of the camera behind the streaming media are much worse than the reversing image of the original car, but it can fully meet the daily use and can see the rear clearly. The function of parking monitoring, that is, after the vehicle stops without power, it will start emergency video recording in the event of an impact, which lasts for one minute. This function is good, that is, it can provide parking monitoring without consuming too much battery, because it does not continue to record after parking, but only starts recording in case of an impact.

The little brother is busy connecting the power. Don’t be too scary when you pry the cover.

The rearview camera is a little crooked.

3. Foot mat
Although the foot mat is under foot, it must be chosen carefully because it is placed in the cabin for a long time. Whether the foot mat is wear-resistant and dirt-resistant, and whether it is affixed with the car, these are not important, the important thing is that you can not release toxic and harmful gases, so you can not buy small factories. They do not have the equipment and conditions to identify, they can only choose to believe in the brand. After choosing it, I finally took a fancy to the BMW original factory foot mats and three Ai mother foot mats. The original floor mats do look good, with design and texture, but the price of more than 2K is also very touching. In the end, I bought more than 500 of the three Aimu hoop mats, because I felt that it was not worth it to spend more than 2K on stepping on my feet. After receiving the three amulet foot mats, the texture is still leverage. after opening the box, you can smell a little “factory smell”, but after a little ventilation and placement, there is no smell at all, yes, it is really the kind that can not be smelled at all. Later, I bought an ordinary spare box cushion in a certain treasure. Although I also claimed to be an environmentally friendly PVC material, I could smell a big smell when I put it on the balcony for several days, but it was in the trunk and was completely isolated from the cabin, so I didn’t care so much about it.

The texture is still good. But after a period of time, there will be a lot of ash and it will look dirty.

4. Apply the film to the parts that are easy to scratch and difficult to repair.
The headlamp is a pair of eyes of the car, so it must be covered with film, and if the plastic shell of the headlamp is damaged by scratches, it is difficult to repair. Judging the new and old degree of a car, it is generally easy to tell from the scratches and discoloration on the headlights. Do not plan to buy a film in a certain treasure and paste it yourself, because the quality of the film and the manual quality of DIY are difficult to guarantee. So go directly to the official physical store of the big factory car and clothing brand to paste the headlamp film. Multi-party inspection, asked about an American car film official physical store, with TPU film paste headlights, quotation is also OK, warranty for 10 years. The shop is not far from home, so I found a weekend to post it. After arriving at the store, the boss was very enthusiastic with all kinds of introductions. After a while of conversation, the final spot was headlights, two rearview mirrors, piano paint on the door and B-post, black golf clubs on the back of the front wheels (also piano paint), four door handles (including the outside of the handle and the recess inside, which is prone to nail scratches), and black fangs on both sides of the front of the car. The process of pasting lasted nearly 5 hours, mainly because the rearview mirror had a large curved surface, and it took time to shape the film. When I was halfway home for dinner, the shopkeeper showed me live. The shopkeeper said that do not wash the car within a week after posting. In the future, car washing should also be careful not to use a high-pressure water gun that is too powerful, which can easily flush the film away. After posting, the effect is good, the technology of the film brother is also very good, and the shopkeeper also helped to do the ozone disinfection of the car. Mom doesn’t worry about the headlights scratching anymore.

A busy little brother with film.
