This issue is the third issue of BMW 2020 long-term evaluation 10. The two models unveiled in this issue are: BMW X3(G08),? BMW 2 Series (F22).

Highlights of this article:

After using the car for one year, the X3 owner claimed that it met 90% of the demand, but why did he buy a new "Japanese BMW"?

Have you mastered all these knowledge points after the auto insurance reform?

Owner: Ding Ding. -? Venue: Nanjing, Jiangsu

The month of 65438+ 10 has passed, and it has been a whole year since the car was picked up on 20 165438+2009 10/2. Accumulated mileage 1575 1 km, and average fuel consumption is about 9.6L/ 100km (average speed is 30km/h). This year, my X3 successfully completed the important task of family travel, from the epidemic raging in the first half of the year to the fierce flood this summer, and got up early to pick up my wife again and again. I took a family of three to Qiandao Lake and Tianmu Lake, and accompanied me to the morning and evening peak swimming in Nanjing.

Remember top? A big boss of Gear once said, "If you don't get excited every day, the car is just a tool for you." From this perspective, X3 is no longer as simple as a tool for me. Holding the exquisite M steering wheel, I am full of blood every time I leave.

As you may have noticed, the mileage this month is only 676 kilometers. Considering the uncertainty of Mrs. Bimmer's working hours at the grassroots level and the fact that my busy work can't guarantee enough time to take her back and forth, I plan to buy a car for my wife in September. Because of the budget, it is also the first car for novice female drivers. Unable to satisfy my wife's wish to buy another BMW, I finally chose the nickname "Japan"

Actually, I originally wanted to make a detailed comparison between X3 and Ma3. After all, I have a say in driving for a month, but on second thought, how can two cars with nearly three times the price difference compare? In fact, in terms of tonality, Mazda has indeed been taking the old road of BMW. As a small-scale car company, adhering to the belief is undoubtedly the foundation for it to remain based on the industry.

For BMW and Mazda, two sports brands, manipulation is the focus of their publicity in front of their peers. Although X3 is far superior to Ma3 in steering fineness, chassis vibration filtering ability and overall sound insulation level, the new generation Ma3 is extremely accurate and direct in steering, and as a low body supported by tough suspension, the whole vehicle has very flexible response and is as interesting as go-karting.

In terms of power, the somatosensory power of the 2.0L Chuangchi Blue Sky Self-priming Engine is definitely not as smooth and powerful as the B48 of X3. Perhaps the noise of B48 engine is well controlled by X3 engine with the help of SynTAK and thermoacoustic cabin technology, or Mazda "deliberately" keeps the engine sound to promote the driving experience of Zoom-Zoom. The engine room of Ma3 is really not "quiet", but compared with the low output of B48.

I am honored to have two of the three best automatic gearboxes in the world, Porsche's PDK, ZF's longitudinal 8AT and Mazda Chuangchi Blue Sky 6AT. Does Mazda's 6AT reaction speed really lose the ZF of sports mode? If it is 8AT, it will drop a small step, but it may be that the number of gears is not as much as ZF, and the gear ratio between gears is definitely not so dense, so you can still feel the shift clearance carefully. Fortunately, the stall condition of low-speed taxiing is much better than X3.

After all, the interior price gap is large, so I won't go into details. The gap between materials and workmanship is also visible to the naked eye, especially the sound. I've been complaining about Harman 16 speakers on X3, but I don't think it's enough. Compared with the 8 speakers of150,000 family car (Mazda has kindly given 8 speakers, and there are even 2 fields with 4 speakers at this level), this pair of nameless speakers is simply baptized.

X3 can meet almost 90% of my needs, with excellent driving control, full power, excellent sound insulation and moderate chassis hardness. Although my wife is full of praise for the concept of the second generation "soul movement", she still remembers her belief as a Bimmer: the next car must buy a 3 series, which the car selector can never bypass.

Editor's comment:

I believe that many people who like BMW were influenced by JDM culture when they were young. In the early years, the high price of BMW E chassis discouraged many people, while Mazda brand models adhered to the original intention of JDM, bringing driving pleasure to more people. After the price of BMW becomes more and more close to the people, will you still like the once passionate "Japanese BMW"?

Automobile insurance:

First of all, let's share this year's auto insurance-about the auto insurance rate reform (hereinafter referred to as the fee reform) that began this fall. Recently, I received a phone call from Ping An Auto Insurance, telling me that the premium has indeed dropped this year, and commercial insurance is half cheaper!

The main content of the so-called fee reform is to package all the additional types of insurance originally selected by ourselves into car damage insurance, such as engine water insurance, burglary insurance, spontaneous combustion insurance, separate glass breakage insurance, no deductible, and inability to find a third party, which means that the coverage of car damage insurance has become larger. After the fee change, as long as you buy car damage insurance, these types of insurance will be included.

Many media are saying that the premium of automobile commercial insurance has decreased after the fee reform, which seems to give people a hint that these newly added car damage insurance items are gifts, but some car owners have reported that the premium has increased. What's going on here? After consulting auto insurance sales, I learned that the new car damage insurance after packaging has given a certain degree of discount on the basis of the original "car damage insurance plus additional insurance", which is similar to the package price, and its cost is between the original car damage insurance and the original car damage insurance plus additional insurance.

Therefore, in the past, car owners who insured a variety of on-board insurance will be cheaper after the fee change; Car owners who used to only buy car damage insurance may go up after the fee change!

This year's commercial insurance not only enjoyed preferential fee reform, but also obtained additional benefits-two minor maintenance and two touch-up paints, almost worth the premium! Originally, I was a little skeptical. How can I send so many? Later, it was found that this is the "hidden rule" of auto insurance in Modu area, and all auto insurance companies will issue so many supermarket cards! But my insurance sales this year told me that the supermarket shopping card was cancelled after the fee change. I wonder if it's me. (Send more and send less, and sales will be measured. I called this salesman for the first time and said that I would send five topcoats. The second call turned into two faces; Last year at PICC, I said that the company's rebate was gone and there were no gifts. Afterwards, I asked my friends for kickbacks. )

Maintenance:

Go to a friend's shop to change the air conditioning filter during the National Day. I looked at the original filter removed from the original car. It's a Valeo brand, and it's made? Are you online? France (made in France). Valeo is also one of the European auto parts OEMs, second only to Bosch. Similar brands include Mahler, Mannheim and Haila. I found that there was still a lot of dust after the demolition. Although it only ran more than 6,000 kilometers, it may be related to the local construction site. Does the smog increase after winter? Dear friends, remember to check and replace it in time.

I changed the Man brand CUK2500 1. The biggest difference from the original filter screen is that there are no arc-shaped fixing blocks at the top and bottom of the filter screen. The new product is straight, and it needs to be manually bent into an arc before installation. Personally, I think the original filter element with plastic shape has better stability and sealing performance (by the way, you can directly buy the filter element made by Valeo, which is exactly the same in shape and half cheaper than the original filter element), but it should be noted that the air flow represented by the arrow must be paid attention to when bending the air conditioner filter element by hand.

In addition, two plastic covers were removed-I heard from riders that the 2 Series factory had a brake cooling channel, but a cover plate was added to cover the exit when leaving the factory, so my friend helped me remove it, thinking that it might improve the thermal aging resistance of the brakes.

My friend mentioned 2 series:

My friend used to be a car fan like me for 86 years, but he was used to German cars and worried that it would cost too much to play Japanese cars (is it wrong to change too many parts? ), I decided to start with Department 2. It was originally planned to book the car in March and pick it up in July. Unfortunately, due to an epidemic, BMW's overseas factories were once shut down. After production resumed, the number of cars exported to China was only half of the original. Therefore, it is difficult to raise prices through various channels and launch a tug-of-war, but it is not enough to skip. Finally, this month, he finally mentioned his beloved pony. Here are some beautiful photos of new cars. Thank you for watching!

Editor's comment:

The auto insurance fee has changed to make car life more convenient, and the third party insurance has also risen to100000. Even if you buy a high-priced luxury car, it seems that you don't have to panic too much. ...

It seems that every BMW owner will become more and more addicted to cars. This addiction is not only driving, but also learning to drive. It is not only as meticulous as a 2-Series owner, but also naturally considers the sports performance when X3 chooses a new car. For you who are also a BMW owner, what are you addicted to after driving a BMW, or what are your new understandings?
