Connected to the travel plan at the end of the month, I took advantage of the Qingming three-day holiday and drove to Qiandao Lake in Chun 'an, Hangzhou, while the epidemic continued to improve. It's 37 1 km from home in Nanjing to Qiandao Lake destination hotel, of which the national highway is about 148 km, and the rest is expressway. Due to the relatively complex road conditions and different speed limits in different sections, it took about six and a half hours to reach the destination on the first day of the trip under the condition of relatively smooth road conditions.

Personally, I am still very keen on driving. I get excited as soon as I get on the bus. I've basically never been sleepy on the highway. When you are tired, go to the service area for activities. The highest record is 10 hours of continuous driving after I angrily brushed Moon Bay and Ogawa Tibet in southern Anhui three years ago.

Considering the strict speed limit control in most areas of Anhui Province and the losses suffered in earlier years, the speed of this trip is basically within the legal range, and I dare not be too presumptuous when stepping on my feet, but I still feel that I have sufficient power reserves. The stability of BMW's high-speed is really remarkable, and I also think that high-speed cruising is the place where this type of car reflects its value.

Because most sections of Xuan Tong Expressway have not been built for a long time, the road surface is in good condition, and the ground flight is smooth and quiet, which is very enjoyable. Of course, it's a pity that we didn't choose enhanced assisted driving.

After arriving at Qiandao Lake, I started driving around. Because I went to Qiandao Lake a few years ago and basically visited the main islands, I didn't plan to enter the lake area by boat this time. Instead, I plan to drive around the lake to find some scenery of ethnic minorities and enjoy the comfort of slowly brushing the Panshan Highway around the lake.

Let's look at some scenery from the perspective of drones. Laziness is not an exaggeration to describe it:

Because of the smooth road conditions, this trip also ran out of the fuel consumption of 6.2L/ 100Km. Of course, the average speed is 58km/h, and it is amazing to fill up a tank of oil before returning, showing a cruising range of 923km.

As there are more than 1000 km of travel trips this month, and my X3 total mileage is also over 8000 km, I decided to go to 4S point (Nanjing Wanbaoxing) for the first insurance on April 18. I made an appointment in advance, and when I bought a car, the sales gave me six basic maintenance items. At the same time, I joined the VIP sequence in the store. The whole maintenance process is fast and transparent, which is quickly reflected in the whole process from car pick-up to delivery, including car washing, which takes about 50 minutes (reserved users can queue up for priority car washing). Transparency is also unexpected. After picking up the car, the after-sales consultant established a temporary WeChat group to broadcast the car maintenance progress and some car inspections with pictures and texts.

After maintenance, the driving experience and fuel consumption of the vehicle did not feel obvious changes. The maintenance plan is to add 5W-30 original engine oil, and the total cost shown on the final document is 1.070 yuan, which is actually 0 yuan.

Editor's comment:

As a ubiquitous model of BMW SAV family, BMW X3 can be competent in all kinds of road conditions. The old concept always feels that off-road vehicles have high fuel consumption and poor handling. As the owner of this BMW X3 described in this article, it has a full fuel life of 923km and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.2L, and its handling performance is quite recognized. BMW's efficient power strategy can bring the most comprehensive driving pleasure to all BMW owners.

One thing to talk about this month is the driving experience. Because of this, I ran two consecutive 4S inspections and road tests in the past month.

The thing is, a few years ago, when we set out for road trip, when we got on the expressway, we found that the front engine room was buzzing at a speed of 80km/h. At that time, we thought it was because it didn't drive so fast at ordinary times, and it didn't adapt. It didn't exist after 95km/h, so we didn't feel uncomfortable driving at high speed throughout the Spring Festival.

But last month, I found the sound more and more obvious. I feel that at the front of the car, there will be * * * vibration at 80 km/h. With the buzzing sound, the chassis under my feet will feel vibration, and the steering wheel will also vibrate at a certain speed.

So I made an appointment with the sales girl at that time to go to the after-sales inspection, trying to solve this problem and the time error of the driving recorder. After all, this store is only 16km away from me.

On the way to the 4S shop that day, I also found a remote road section (that is, the semi-closed road section where I measured 100 meters), and the noise was obvious during the vibration. And in any case, there are pure electric cars, hybrid cars and pure oil cars.

When I arrived, I described the fault and took the after-sales technicians out for a test drive. It is still obvious that when I came back, I sat in the co-pilot and felt the vibration and sound coming from my feet. When I came back, I put it on the shelf for testing. Unfortunately, the problem was not found. After testing, I think there is nothing abnormal in suspension, shock absorption and bearing.

The technician touched the tire tread and suspected that the tread was too deep, causing vibration. But I wonder, didn't the pattern deepen when I first picked up the car? Why wasn't there at that time? It's almost 1 o'clock. I have something to do this afternoon.

After Tomb-Sweeping Day, I made an appointment with the after-sales company. This time, the after-sales technical director received me, and it was another test run. As before, it will vibrate. And there are comfort modes, sports modes, and EcoPro. It's really strange, because in theory, Eco mode has no kinetic energy recovery, that is, it is in neutral sliding state, so this also excludes the suspicion of engine or gearbox, right?

Later, I suggested whether it is possible to find a test drive car of the same model to replace the wheels, thus eliminating the variable "the tires are too new". Unfortunately, the test drive is 20 19 inch wheels, which are much bigger than mine. Finally, it was found that the after-sales rescue vehicle happened to be 18 X 1, and the wheel was 18 inch. The one in front of my car was 18 inch with a flat tire, which just happened to be replaced and tested.

The technical director went into battle with three masters, and the wheels changed in an instant. /kloc-how about the upper body of 0/8 inch wheel hub? (It was like this before restoration. )

Put on these four horse flat tires that have run more than 65,438+100,000 kilometers, and feel like getting on the road again. After running for a lap, I felt the sound was a little low, but the obvious noise interference was still obvious every 80km/h, and the sound became smaller and could not be detected when it exceeded 95 km/h, so my judgment: this problem is definitely not a tire, otherwise the formal dress should not be so similar! Therefore, there may still be problems with wheel bearings and other related parts. After listening to it, the after-sales technical director recognized that he would not shirk his responsibility, but there is really no way to find out the problem at present. He gave feedback to the manufacturers and asked them in their after-sales communication group. There is still no feedback.

Besides, the driving recorder has a new nose and checked the wiring of the fuse box, but it still doesn't solve the problem. It is said that the fault code of the trip computer has not been detected for too long, which may be covered up by the self-check information of the on-board computer. In this way, this April, this toss, there is no result. The first insurance should be ushered in at the end of May. Go and maintain it then and see if there is any new progress. I'll record it in time.

Editor's comment:

Investigation of abnormal sound and vibration is a step-by-step process. If the inspection is successful, the reason can be found in an instant. When troubleshooting difficulties, we should also be patient slowly and use the method of gradual elimination to find the crux of abnormal sound and * * * vibration. I hope that the 4S shop can properly solve this problem next.

Write at the end:

BMW's models are not only on the same level of control, but also have obvious fuel consumption, which is not only fast, fun to drive, but also particularly fuel-efficient. Especially today, the X3 owner's apparent cruising range is nearly 1,000 miles after full fuel, which is very convincing. BMW, as the first luxury car company to lay out the national 6 emission standards, has been at the forefront of energy conservation and emission reduction, which can greatly save car expenses for car owners and also

Which model of BMW are you? What's the maximum cruising range with a full tank?
