About the BMW 530 Travel Edition, my car experience.

During New Year’s Day’s holiday in 2021, Shanghai is experiencing a cold wave not seen in years. I didn’t go anywhere at home, so I had to write a few words in blank code, write about my experience in using the car, and flip through the photos I took for her.

This is a leading travel version of the 2012 model, with a guide price of 666600 at that time, but now I will find you 100, 000 if I buy imported 540i. In terms of configuration, it can only be said that the configuration is basically enough. BMW in Germany is not willing to match a Harman Catton stereo. The rear space adheres to the standard axis of the imported BMW (although there is a 2968cm on the wheelbase book, the rear space is a little cramped and unfriendly for long-distance family trips), coupled with the handsome tail, sales in China, a market that likes to be lengthened, have to be saved by big discounts. These “shortcomings” don’t matter to me. 530 touring can meet most of my car needs, especially the shape of earthen pots.

In terms of powertrain, it is equipped with the BMW Ward Top Ten engine N52B30, together with the BMW Royal Mobil 8AT, it will have a very linear power output feeling. But even in Sport mode, it’s not violent, and the same 258 horsepower will have a more human-car driving experience on my E90330.

Speaking of earthen pots at this price, we have to mention R36. Compared with the R36p5 Brigade’s turning to empty position is smaller, throttle training and feedback benefit from the BMW housekeeping magic weapon ZF 8AT cooperation is also more active, although the rear drive corner is not as accurate as knife butter, but it can also give the average driver a lot of confidence. Because of its four-wheel drive, R36 has more horsepower and is more suitable for high-speed driving. driving at high speed is like a railway car holding on to the ground steadily, except steady or stable, the chassis is heavy, and the limit of the bend is not bad, that is, the communication between people and cars is handicapped. This is also a common fault of Volkswagen Audi (except Porsche), R36 is slightly better in power and factory exhaust.

The 5th Brigade is actually a very easy car to maintain, and it is really a good car for home shopping. The 3. 0 N52B30 leather is durable, not as delicate as many in-cylinder direct injection machines today, and it is official that No. 92 oil is also drinkable. Not to mention ZF’s 8AT, it is reliable to assemble so many BMWs and other brands. On gearbox maintenance, here a few more wordy words, personal experience combined with the views of several maintenance gods and ZF officials, BMW officially announced that the 8AT gearbox is maintenance-free for life, but did not realize that BMW has gearbox maintenance tips, but it is hidden by BMW, and it is proposed to change oil regularly in the ZF official guidance document. The reason is the same as other automatic gearboxes. When the mileage reaches a certain degree, the oil viscosity of the gearbox will increase, and there are iron filings in the oil. Because the tightness between the pistons in the automatic gearbox becomes worse than that of the new car, it is easy to release pressure, but it is precisely the viscosity of the old oil that plays a certain sealing role. So you think it’s okay if you don’t change the old oil? Wrong, because there is iron filings abrasive, it will aggravate the wear. The oil needs to be changed, preferably the gravity oil, and the filter screen should be replaced at the same time, the new and old oil will not be too thin, and the old oil discharged by gravity will take away a lot of abrasive, and the remaining abrasive can be filtered by the new filter. In short, I think it is very necessary to change the gearbox oil of this 8AT every 60-80,000 kilometers. As for the very popular circulating machine oil change in recent years, there is no more to say here, the market product. Why don’t you try a hundred thousand kilometers without changing the gearbox oil and try it with a recycling machine? Too thin new oil is easy to relieve pressure, on the contrary, it will cause shift impact after oil change.

The reason why the fifth brigade is easy to maintain, on the other hand, because the failure rate seems to be controllable, the 120000 km mileage has replaced the front oxygen sensor, coolant return pipe (really a common fault of BMW), air leakage in the rear shock bag (normal aging of rubber is difficult to avoid, it is not expensive to replace a few hundred yuan), the lack of cylinder power caused by damage to the ignition coil is limited, and the rest are routine maintenance. As for BMW’s conventional oil leakage and oil burning, I can responsibly say that it is not that terrible. My car scene is the urban viaduct and highway, the annual average speed can reach 42km/h, the engine condition is extremely good. If you use a car in the urban area, the stop-and-go speed does not go up, you really need to check the oil leakage more, and you don’t have to worry too much if it happens. Replacing all kinds of rubber washers can basically solve 90% of the problem.

The above is some of my experience on the 530 travel version of the car, do not spray, welcome friends to communicate.

Why do you like the 530 travel version, because it is beautiful!

BMW is the only domestic 6-cylinder self-priming station wagon, loyal to the original factory, vegetarian car, pure!

The car body waistline runs through to the rear of the car, with more than 18-inch wheels of the original factory.

It is a slight pity that the exhaust is not equipped with bilateral single exhaust.

Even if the F18 generation sells the best 5-series front face in China, the earthen jar is the love of minority players after all.

Every time I park my car, I always look back at her. It’s true love.

Although the angel eye is the product of more than ten years ago, I don’t think it is worse than that of the lamp factory!

Take your family, drive on the country road, and enjoy the comfort of the station wagon.

On the path behind Tianma Mountain, I always like to drive my car around here when I have time.

Every time I see the chrome-plated luggage rack on the roof of the car on the road, I know that this is not an ordinary 5-Series.

In fact, I don’t want to park like this, let’s get out of here!

F18/F11 ‘s front face doesn’t seem to be that bad.

The right rear air shock absorber used to lie down, so it’s not troublesome to change an airbag.

This is always the most beautiful angle of the earthen pot.

Can you tell this is an eight-year-old car?

The interior seems to be more insipid now.

RETAW, the best-smelling incense tablet, no one.
