How does BMW 5 set the split-screen weather?

One of the most important signs of Internet auto time is the realization of intelligence. Today's smart car has three characteristics: smart car, smart driving and smart cockpit. Especially in some new car-making forces, the flaunt of "intelligence" has become a core selling point of their marketing propaganda, and even some traditional fuel vehicles that are rarely good at intelligence have been covered up. Then, at the level of smart cars alone, can traditional fuel vehicles really compete with new forces? As an old-fashioned powerhouse of large and medium-sized luxury brands, the 2022 redesigned BMW 530Li seems to give the answer.

Hardware: large-size ultra-clear image quality to create high visibility.

Nowadays, whether it is a traditional fuel vehicle or a new energy vehicle, one of the built-in vehicle upgrade methods is to make the size of the central control screen bigger and bigger, and BMW 530Li is no exception. Since the model year 202 1 was updated, it has changed from the previous 10.25 inch to the current 12.3 inch. Although many new power models are pursuing the infinite maximization of the size of the central control panel, and even multi-screen or long-screen design has appeared, I don't think that large size necessarily means absolute Excellence. After all, a reasonable size of the central control panel should also consider the overall design beauty of the central control panel. Therefore, for 530Li, the central control panel of 12.3 inch is adopted, and 5 points are given.

Since the 20 19 cash 5 Series went on the market, the central control panel in the car has been changed from the previous embedded design to a more avant-garde and trendy suspension design. After upgrading to 12.3 inches, the shape of the central control panel is an isosceles trapezoid with steep edges, and the overall display interface has no obvious black edges, and the screen thickness is also at the mainstream level. However, because the angle of the screen interface cannot be adjusted, it may reflect light when encountering strong light, which will have a certain impact on the user's operating experience. So from an aesthetic point of view, give 4 points.

In terms of definition, the official did not give specific resolution data, but from the subjective feeling, the definition and UI image of 530Li are still very good, reaching the level that a 400,000 yuan model should have. However, because some products on the market already have a high level of resolution, the score here is 4 points.

In terms of the richness of the main interface, the functional applications of the 530Li main interface are clearly displayed, including basic applications such as Bluetooth, multimedia, driving recorder and vehicle setting. At a glance, users can quickly activate individual functions by direct touch, which is very convenient. There is also a duck bar on the left edge of the screen, which can be popped up or hidden. The functions are multimedia, communication, navigation system, my car and application from top to bottom, and users can directly find the functions they want in the fastest way. It is worth mentioning that the in-vehicle system also supports the wireless interconnection between Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife, which is friendly for users who are used to screen projection, and the comprehensive evaluation can give 5 points.

Software: There are many downloadable applications, and some functions are highly playable.

Compared with hardware equipment, the performance of software is more important to the user's car experience. The 530Li car machine responds quickly to opening most functional applications, and can basically achieve the "second opening" state. However, the operation experience of navigation function is slightly inferior. Although the UI design of the map interface has a strong sense of science and technology and provides road information display, the response to the touch screen input of the destination is obviously lagging behind. Even if the destination is spoken by intelligent voice, the system will not recognize it accurately, so it can only give 3 points.

Interestingly, some functions of the 530Li in-vehicle system, such as multimedia volume adjustment/song cutting, Bluetooth connection, etc. , which can realize up to five different operation modes, such as touch screen, voice, steering wheel physical buttons, iDrive console, gesture control, etc., and the diversity of its operation modes is difficult for all other brands to achieve.

The wake-up mode of intelligent speech recognition function is very simple. As long as you say something as simple as "Hello, BMW", the system will immediately recognize and respond, and support multiple rounds of continuous dialogue. Of course, wake-up words can also be changed at will. Intelligent voice can not only operate multimedia system, but also operate navigation, telephone, air conditioning and other functions, and support life service operations such as parking lot inquiry, restaurant reservation, ticket inquiry and gas station inquiry. The system also has extensive language recognition, and supports the recognition of 10 languages such as Mandarin and Cantonese. Generally speaking, it is more humane, so give 9 points.

In the app store, the personalized menu bar of the system provides "Tencent Mini Scene", which covers a very rich variety of application apps. Only this test car has downloaded more than 20 applications such as movies, listening and star food. Users can also go to the app store to download the required app at any time according to the current needs. Rich in functions, diverse in forms and strong in playability, with an overall score of 10.

Like the latest generation of car machines of most vehicles, the car machine system of 530Li is also equipped with OTA upgrade function, which supports remote OTA upgrade. Users can update some applications of the vehicle through the exclusive "My BMW" BMW app, and support remote control of windows, air conditioners, lights and other configurations. Although the operating range is not as good as the new power model, it is practical and scored 8 points.

In other respects, this in-vehicle system of BMW 530Li is also equipped with wireless WiFi function, which can provide a good signal source for electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers when traveling or working on the move. In addition, the screen interface also supports split-screen display, so that the driver and the co-pilot use the car without interfering with each other. For example, when the driver needs to navigate to get road information, the co-pilot passenger can listen to music or inquire about various life service information at the same time, which is an application with the best of both worlds in any case.

Summary: No matter the hardware level or the software performance, the car series of the redesigned BMW 530Li in 2022 has played its due role in the traditional luxury medium and large cars. As consumers say, "the on-board engine of traditional fuel vehicles is not easy to use", the on-board engine system of 530Li may not have large screens with different shapes, and it also lacks some fancy personalized applications like new power models. However, the actual measurement proves that the on-board engine system of 530Li is not inferior to most mainstream models in practicality and richness.
