• Summary

There has always been no habit of writing, but this time, for the past ten years, and for the next ten years, I suddenly want to write something. My wife and I had the idea of changing cars before the epidemic, mainly because the original rookie had been together for almost ten years. Xiaobai was bought with our own money in 2010, a year after my wife and I got married. I still vaguely remember the scene of picking up the car with my wife. I was really very happy at that time!

In fact, since we had the idea of changing cars, our wives identified Mercedes-Benz and test-drove the Mercedes-Benz C260L. We felt that 1.5T power was acceptable and the configuration was quite complete. Later, my wife said that since it was changed once, it would be better to take the whole GLC. It is still very practical for a family of three to buy a SUV model. It is also right to think about it. 10 years of car change is not “in place at once”. But the sudden epidemic disrupted our plans to test-drive and buy GLC, and we haven’t had a test-drive so far. Instead of saying that it is the cause of the epidemic, let’s just say that what I really think is that I am afraid of quality problems. There is no need to dwell on it here. If we have seen too much Douyin and our home, we will not dare to buy it. To borrow a sentence that Douyin saw before: it is Mercedes-Benz that really made BMW in 2019. As others say, don’t spray if you don’t like it.

From the beginning of the epidemic to the present, people in Xi’an have basically returned to their former state, drinking wine from roadside barbecue stalls at night, and steamed buns can also be eaten in restaurants. It has been two months since the last test drive of the C260L, and the idea of changing cars is repeated in my mind every day. No, we have to take action. March 14, is a sunny Saturday, leaving the children at home, my wife and I decided to go to Mercedes-Benz and BMW stores to find out. On the way to discuss going to BMW to see the X3, if the model, interior decoration do not like to go to Mercedes-Benz to lift the GLC, it is decided.
I went to a BMW 4S store in, er. It can be said that there is a sea of people, there are so many people looking at the car, there is no sales consultant to talk to us for a long time, so we just wander around and focus on X3. To tell you the truth, the interior and space are not satisfactory, so we give up decisively. I wanted to go to Mercedes-Benz, just next to a 530Li sports version, sit in and try it, just one. There will be the understanding of my family today.
The 2020 5-series interior decoration is really too much higher than before, because the old model 525, which is often led, directly moved me when I saw the interior decoration of the new 530Li, and we were both very satisfied with the back space. My wife is 170th with long legs. Then let’s have a test drive. After looking for a long time, I found a sales consultant with the same name as the child’s head teacher. My wife forgot her driver’s license, so I’ll test-drive it, and she’ll take the back row. I came back after a ride and gave my wife the same look. He’s the one! Let’s not talk about the price, because the budget is limited, I’m going to order a “hot version” 525Li deluxe model, plus a comfort suit (mainly accustomed to keyless entry), and I don’t like sports rear bumpers very much. The sales consultant is also very straightforward, giving the same price as the pick-up price reported by other car friends on the Internet, and sending a lot of things, the key is that the warehouse has just arrived two white existing cars with comfortable sets, OK! Make a deposit of 10,000 yuan and go home to prepare the information needed by BMW Finance. Yes, it was so fast, from entering the store to the test drive to paying the deposit, it was all done in 2 hours.

On March 20th, the Spring Equinox, the weather in Xi’an is super good. It is really a sunny day. The sales consultant informed me early in the morning that all the approvals had been completed, so I could come and pick up the car, and did not forget to remind me to remember to bring the money. I ran a client in the morning. After eating Pita Bread Soaked in Lamb Soup with the customer at noon, I rushed to the 4S store and found that there was a white 525Li deluxe version at the door. could it be mine? I bet? It turns out this is the car.

The whole afternoon is to go through all kinds of procedures and keep swiping bank cards. In a small episode, it was best to get the temporary license right on the same day. The 4S store sent someone to take me to the DMV to apply for the temporary license with the test drive X4. It was super smooth, because there was no one queuing up immediately, and the temporary license was done in 5 minutes. When I got back to the store, my white man was ready. Xiaobai gave it to the BMW second-hand car, the price is also good, but also sent some other things for the new car.
Let’s take a batch of pictures:

Open for two days, I was worried that the 2020 525Li power is not enough is completely superfluous, give oil can feel push back, in the urban area and I test-drive 530Li is not much different. The four doors of the optional comfort package can be accessed without a key, and the multimedia system is directly equipped with Baidu Carlife to facilitate Android phones. The new car still smells good, and nothing else has been found for the time being. Finally, send out two blade keys.
