Unlike many car fans who have been interested in cars since childhood, they have no feelings about cars since childhood. When it comes to love, they immediately became interested from the moment they learned to drive in grade two in 2009. Because I don't study well, I have always been a poor student at school and I have never been restless. In order not to be a thorn in my teacher's side, I decided to drop out of school in my sophomore year. After dropping out of school, I just reported to driving school at the urging of my mother while doing nothing. It was summer and I was practicing dumping piles. Summer in Nanjing is super sultry, and many students avoid the scorching sun and are afraid of heatstroke. I quickly learned to drive and got my driver's license at one go. Unconsciously, in winter, I began to itch to buy a car and practice my hands. I began to pay attention to car home, imagining that I was driving every day, but I was also very happy. But at that time, the income from Taobao was not enough for the down payment of a domestic car. I remember that I was concerned about the listing of the new Alto because I was deeply impressed by the old Alto. At that time, I didn't have the money to think that one car was cheap, although I had no idea about the comprehensive knowledge of automobile displacement space at that time. Now that I think about it, it was really the white age when I first came into contact with cars. Later, I not only did Taobao, but also changed my job. 20 1 1, finally got my first car: Chery Fengyun 2. The car has a down payment of more than 50,000 yuan, and my mother supports 20,000 yuan. Then I have to pay back 800 loans with a monthly salary of 1600 to save money for car maintenance. Next, the work gradually improved. Taobao is not doing it. In the past three years, it has become increasingly felt that the displacement of 1.5L cannot meet the daily demand. When the air conditioner is turned on in summer, the car is fully loaded as soon as it steps on the accelerator. During the period, I also drove several company cars: Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG, which didn't speed up enough. I feel very overbearing on the road, and cars are afraid to cut in line. The disadvantage is that the car is too heavy and the throttle is particularly heavy. Not suitable for girls, too bumpy. Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, a good car, is much more comfortable and stable than the big G, and the ignition sound is still charming; Mercedes-Benz S500 four-wheel drive, the luxury interior rear seat is the most comfortable, but the driving sense is slightly poor, and I don't like it very much. After getting in touch with some good cars, 20 14 began to choose his second car, and bought 1 1 BMW325 fashion model through the introduction of friends, with a mileage of 60,000 kilometers. This car is in good condition except that the engine has a serious carbon deposit. I got it, and I did it. As the last 2.5 L6 of BMW, I think it is also memorable. It was the first time that I was in the suburbs in the middle of the night, stepping on the accelerator for 6000 revolutions, releasing the brakes and ejecting, and experiencing the feeling of weightlessness in the car, which further made me have a deeper demand and desire for the car for the first time. After driving the 325 for two years, the heavy feeling of the steering wheel is no longer reflected in the later 428, but reminds me of the unique feeling of manipulating machinery. Because my mother immigrated to the United States in 2009, I didn't want to leave my grandparents and friends and insisted on staying at home. I traveled to the United States for the first time on 20 12, and I began to have a good impression on this strange country, which also opened my eyes to the powerful automobile culture in the United States. Then 14 and 16 will go to America every two years to spend two months with their mother. 16 After returning to China, I finally decided to give up everything at home and move to America! Because of the rush of time, 65438+ went to the United States in June and August 2006. When the car didn't come and was sold, it was temporarily entrusted to a friend, thinking that it could still be driven after returning to China. I didn't expect to go for two years, during which I found someone to sell my car. When I first arrived in America, I didn't adapt at first. I can't speak a word of English. I'm afraid to go out and communicate with people. My mother is a brave and strong person, and her English level is better than mine. After coming to the United States, I often travel with my mother, almost all of them are in go on road trip. 20 12 when I first came to America, my mother's car was a 99 Ford Taurus. I drove this old car back and forth for more than 3000 kilometers. At first, I was not used to driving in America. Every time the urban green light starts, it is 60 yards, and some can drive 70 yards. On the expressway, I had to step on the gas pedal to accelerate to 120- 130. This gave me a preliminary idea. Compared with here, the speed in China is very slow, and the road conditions are mixed with the most important battery cars and bicycles, so that I still remember the first time I drove my mother's car at high speed and was urged to refuel by her. My mother later changed to Mitsubishi Lan Se, and later changed to RAV4. When I started to settle in the United States, I chose a hybrid Civic in 2008, and the price was 3,500 yuan (about 24,000 yuan). It's very fuel-efficient, and there seems to be no advantage except fuel-efficient and easy to drive. Generally, there is enough motivation to travel, but it is difficult to run long distances. An unexpected traffic accident happened because I watched my mobile phone chasing a Kia SUV while waiting for the traffic lights at the intersection. There is nothing wrong with the other car, and the front of Civic is broken. The insurance company thinks that the money for repairing the car is equivalent to the value of the car itself, so it lost 2900 yuan, which is equal to no loss. Before choosing the next car, I will temporarily drive my mother's RAV4, which can only be said to be a very durable car. In the United States, 2.5L can only be said to be enough, and there is no passion and manipulation at all. One day I passed a second-hand car dealership run by a Mexican and saw a car parked in front of the garage: Acura RDX 08. They all paid 8,000 yuan (about 56,000 yuan), and the appearance and interior are still very new. The four-cylinder 2.3T turbocharged and 245 horsepower were bought after the test drive. I still have this car, and its stability and handling are much better than RAV4. Especially when it snows heavily in winter, it is more confident to drive than RAV4. I need a fuel-efficient car for work reasons. The only disadvantage of RDX is that it costs oil, so I accidentally spent 3600 yuan (about 25,000 yuan) to buy this 2006 Nissan Teana, which is called Teana in North America. Although it is 2006, it is not completely old in all aspects. The acceleration of the 2.5L four-cylinder engine is very linear, the grip of the leather steering wheel is better than expected, the steering degree is appropriate, the car runs with light throttle and wide driving vision. The seat is not genuine leather but totally generous, which is why I like this car. Speaking of used cars in the United States, first, the road conditions are better than those in China; Secondly, gasoline refining technology is more perfect than domestic; Thirdly, the paint quality of American cars is very good, unlike Japanese cars in China, where the paint is too thin to scratch. Many cars here have never seen paint, so the comprehensive factors determine that used cars in the United States will not lose too much, and the engine compartment looks very clean without cleaning. It is also very important that the automobile market is very standardized, especially used cars. The domestic water is too deep, and many people are easily deceived when choosing used cars. There is a very powerful system called Carfax. Every car has a tracking Carfax record, which contains all the detailed maintenance records, including the accident of this car and even the location of this car. If you want to buy a used car, the car dealer will provide Carfax records to know all the history of this car. Coupled with the integrity of American sales, it will honestly tell you which car has an accident or which car has a fault. With this system, every car is transparent and it is much more reassuring to buy. Actually, I always had a BMW dream when I came here. Once I drove M235, and the 3.0T L6 conquered me at once, which was completely different from the 325 of that year. I was tightly clamped by the seat, and the accelerator started to dump the car, and no one shook. The voice of the original factory lingered in my mind for a long time. Unfortunately, it is a rear-drive car. We are near the snow-capped mountains, and we need four-wheel drive when it snows in winter. Later, we found a four-wheel drive M235, which happened to be in China at that time and was going to the United States next week, but it was sold. There are not many car sources, so I visited several car dealers one after another. They are all black and don't like it. I feel that I may have really missed 235. Sure enough, I drove a friend's 20 19 BMW 440 once. Although the throttle response is not as fast as M235, it will be half a beat slower, but I believe that if a friend who has not driven 235 directly drives the 4 series, he will still feel full of sports. So I started searching for 435 with model number 20 16. I have one in the BMW 4S shop, and the price is not expensive. 26,000 yuan (about RMB182,000) went to see it once, but I was in a hurry and didn't make up my mind to pay the deposit. I didn't expect to sell it so soon, but I paid the deposit on the scheduled Saturday. We arrived at 10 in the morning and the bus arrived at 9: 00. Seize the last glimmer of hope. I asked the sales staff to help me see if I could win it over. The salesman ran around and finally said sorry. I watched my uncle sign the contract and shake hands with the sales staff in the lobby. Another car passed by and all the sadness came at once. Later, I didn't see the right 435 for a while, so I opened this 428. It's more than an hour's journey from my city. In order not to miss it again, I decided to visit it. Car price 2 1000+ agency fee 500+ tax 2500+500. The front glass insurance (because of the high speed in the United States, the front glass is easy to break and crack, considering the high replacement price of BMW glass) is ***23000 (about RMB 16 1000). The power ratio is definitely much worse than 435, but the daily demand is completely sufficient. Coupled with my favorite 8-speed transmission, the response is fast, and it can be satisfied by making a drift and occasionally rushing to the S gear.
20 1 1 Chery Fengyun 2
20 1 1 BMW 325
1999 Taurus with 3.0 engine V6. The gear moves up and down on the right side of the steering wheel. It should be from the 1960s to the 1990s that many American models kept the gear design.
14 bought the brand-new RAV4.
There is a lot of space, and they all moved twice in America.
In 2008, Civic didn't come, left a few photos, 10 months later it crashed.
I found a squirrel under the car and a rabbit beside it.
Just because the mobile phone was chatting with someone, I didn't pay attention to the rear-end collision of the other person's car, left my insurance company information and left.
Ushered in the 2008 RDX.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier. Honda SH-AWD four-wheel drive technology is ok, and it has never set me up.
In America, everyone has at least one car, and there are few people in the back.
4 cylinders are 2.3T, and the battery needs to be replaced.
2006 Nissan Teana
According to Carfax's report, the car was bought for three months in 2006 and then changed to a second owner. It was sold by 19 and 10. 13 years later, from the original factory trunk mat and well-preserved interior, it shows that this is a very caring and careful person.
Fabric seats and leather seats have their own advantages. In winter, fabric seats are easier to keep warm without seat heating, while leather seats are cooler in winter.
Although the fabric seat is equipped with electric adjustment. After using 13 years, the driver's seat is still free from deformation and pollution.
This is the normal state of the American windshield. At high speed, the stone jumped up and hit the middle. Fortunately, only one pit will not crack, but as long as it is unlucky to be hit on any four corners of the glass, it will crack. It just cracked a little at first, but it will continue to crack after it gets hot and cold or after rain and snow.
Fortunately, it's cracked on it, which is in the way. I'm not going to change it. It costs $ 200-400 (RMB 1400-2800) to replace the front windshield of an ordinary car.
M235, L6 3.0T, 320p horsepower. Xiao M2
American 2 only sells two models, the low version 228 (new 230) and the top version M325 (new M240).
Friend's four-wheel drive 440
The interiors of Series 2 and Series 4 have not changed.
Four-wheel drive 435 passes by
Passing the latest four-wheel drive M340. Small M3, also equipped with 3.0L6,386p horsepower, only 386p less than M3, which is not expensive? 56,000 yuan (about 400,000 yuan). Only 330 can be bought at this price in China, and the chassis has been reduced after domestic production.
Little M5. The salesman said he liked this car best and took me for a test drive. Like M5, it is equipped with a 4.4T V8 engine and 523p horsepower, which is 77p smaller than M5. The new car is 80,000 US dollars (about 560,000 yuan)
There is an M6 convertible in the parking lot, and the driver is a young blonde. It is also a 4.4T V8 engine with 560p horsepower. The price of the new car is 123000 (about RMB860,000).
Low-key luxury-M760. Small M7, 6.6 V 12 BMW's top engine configuration. The new car 160000 (about 1 120000) is still half cheaper than that in China.
The drivers are a young China couple, but the second generation of international students is too common in the United States.
Town store treasure convertible M8, without V 12. Or 4.4t V8,600 and 6 17p configurations. The price of the new car is 143000 (about RMB 1 ten thousand yuan). There is no convertible version in China, which is very cheap compared with China.
Did the protagonist appear? No, my friend's 328 crashed and bought another 17 four-wheel drive 430. The price is very beautiful, as long as 1.7 million RMB.
Then all the BMW logos were changed to pink.
This is my last protagonist 20 16 428. Although I don't need this back row at all, I originally considered two doors. Because I often travel with my friend's 440, sometimes I feel trouble crawling around in the back row, so I chose four doors.
Share the price in America. The current price of 430 rear-drive bare car is 44750 (about RMB 365438+4000), and the four-wheel drive is more than 2000 (RMB 14000).
Because the epidemic did not go out to stop the dirty.
He must have run too fast and been cracked by a stone.
There was a time when the cold car only drove less than 5 kilometers a day in winter, and the carbon deposition was certain.
Although it is also imported from Germany, it seems that the imported 4 series brake pads in China do not have BMW's logo.
Four bars represent four cylinders.
The package adjustment in the 12 direction of the seat should be praised. Start with the S gear, and the whole car will be thrown out without shaking, firmly clamped on the seat.
The co-pilot is also equipped with 12 electric adjustment.
The steering wheel is heated, which is very practical in winter and heats up quickly.
When the car accident happens, the airbag pops up and SOS automatically calls the police. A friend's 328 was hit and the steering wheel and paint airbag bounced off. SOS immediately asked the artificial computer intelligently: "Are you okay? Don't worry, I have already called the police. " Fortunately, people are fine. The ambulance will arrive in 2 minutes.
Three garage buttons are installed on the rearview mirror. Here in America, cars are equipped with a garage button. After buying a car, you can go home with your own garage key computer and just press the storage button.
I don't know how many times the rear power seat will be heated.
The most profound thing about driving this car is the feeling of having fun in the snow. RAV4 and RDX, which are also four-wheel drives, do not give people a sense of self-confidence when turning in the snow. Once it snowed heavily, the whole car didn't deliberately slow down, and the rear of the car wasn't thrown out, but immediately followed, and the whole car was integrated. Fun to addiction.
I still think angel eyes are classic and beautiful.
Try antiskid sometimes.
S gear, light throttle, 5300 to 130 yards, downtown at home, but fortunately there is no traffic police.
Back to the day when I just picked up the car, it was getting late after all the formalities were completed.
Go to the mountain the next day.
The sun shines into the cab, and I am so happy on the road with Xiao 4.
The second BMW, blue sky and white clouds
The key is to have one more button than in China. It is easy to forget where to park here. Set up a horn.
Regardless of BMW 1357 or 2468 series, the positioning of each car is different, and it can only be understood after driving. It's obviously different to drive a 4 Series after owning a 3 Series, but this is definitely not my last BMW. I hope I can get to know them better and better both at home and abroad in the future.
