This time, I will bring you a high-value car, BMW 5 Series GT. How good is its face value? You can look at the picture. Many people fall in love with this car because of its face value, but I am more anti-popular. I think its figure is a little fat, and its back slip is not so perfect. There is a little artificial carving angle, just like a plastic beauty, it feels stiff!
Appearance is its biggest feature, and there are two small knowledge points. One is the origin of 5 series GT. Although its name begins with 5 series, it is actually developed with 7 series chassis and platform, so it is very comfortable to ride. In addition, the 5 Series GT is very valuable, and it is a wonderful existence in BMW.
Take the leading model of 3.0T 535 as an example. The official guide price in that year was more than 800,000. Now the price of used cars has dropped to 350 thousand in five years, which is only the retail price of car dealers. It may be in the early 300 thousand to collect the car from the owner. What concept? Is it as worthless as Cadillac?
It's a good deal to buy such a used car! Coupled with the great value, the 5 Series GT is still very popular among fans in the used car market! This time, the customer took a fancy to a 15 model 535 leading model. The customer compared it online for a long time. Considering that this model is more recent, the price is just within the budget. If the condition of the car is acceptable, there should be no problem with the three big pieces. I bought it myself, mainly for long-distance running, for fear that it would break down halfway.
Model year: 5 series GT 20 15 535i leading model.

The process is still from the outside to the inside, and from the outside to the inside, the appearance is checked first, because an accident situation of the whole vehicle can be roughly understood through the damage of the appearance. Visually, the front middle net is slightly damaged, there is obvious paint fog at the gap between the front bumper and the radar, the bumper screw has been removed, and the joint with the fenders on both sides is uneven, so it can be judged that the front bumper has been replaced.
The paint thickness of the engine hatch cover fluctuates around 130μm, which conforms to the original process standard. The second visual inspection showed that there were no flying paint sand spots and it was judged as the original paint. The left front fender, two doors, upper and lower side members and ABC pillar are all original car paints. The two door hinge fixing screws have no disassembly characteristics, and the paint thickness of the inner frame of the door frame is also within the normal range. I only drew the left rear fender, which was just a little scratch, and it didn't have much impact.
The trunk lid is also painted, so the rear bumper is not so lucky. The paint layer at the radar position tells us that it was painted here, but the rear bumper was only painted and not replaced, which was caused by ordinary scraping. Like the left side of the car body, most of the right side of the car body is the original car paint, only the right front fender is painted. After visual inspection, 90% of the whole car is original car paint. It has been opened for five years, and it has been opened for 1 10000 kilometers. The appearance is so well protected! The original owner has good driving skills! Although Tucki also has this technology, the probability of testing so many used cars is still very low. Heroes cherish heroes and must be praised by their original owners!
Check the whole car glass, found that the front windshield logo is different, and the inner sealant seam is uneven. The glue joint of the original car should be neat and even, which is the difference between manual gluing and machine gluing, so the front windshield was replaced, and the reason for the replacement should be that it was broken by stones on the road. Then test the engine compartment. The seller didn't clean the engine compartment, but it was the same. However, the engine compartment does not look particularly dirty, and the original owner maintains the car in place. Tucki can see clearly by slightly wiping the fixing screws of the main parts. Let's look at the details.
The hinge fixing screws on both sides of the hood have not been removed and screwed, and the fittings such as lock nose and lock catch have not been removed. The hood is an original part. Combined with the previous appearance paint inspection, it can be roughly judged that there is no major collision accident in the front of the car. The fixing screws of the fenders on both sides are also intact, and the welding points of the inner fenders are even and natural, and there is no sheet metal repair, which can eliminate the collision damage on both sides of the front.
Headlamp screws on both sides have no disassembly feature, and the label shows the production date as 27.06.20 16. We know that the vehicle was manufactured in July 20 16, so the headlights are also original components. The most vulnerable headlights on the front face have not been damaged or replaced, further indicating that there is no big collision in the front of the car.
Next, check the engine, or start with the details. There is nothing unusual about the engine valve cover screw, but it can be seen that the production date of the valve cover surface is September 2020, and the color is newer than the surrounding accessories. Tucki used a flashlight to illuminate the bonnet screw, and he caught a circle of tiny disassembly marks. If he is not careful, he may be deceived by the illusion. Finally, it is judged that the valve chamber is a new fitting to be replaced shortly after the later period. As for the reason of replacement, the oil leakage of BMW valve cover is an open secret, and it has been opened for 1 10000 kilometers, so it is not surprising that the oil leakage.
The intake manifold screws have also been removed, except that the peripheral accessories have not been removed in a large area, and the engine foot screws have not moved, which is enough to rule out the suspicion of engine hoisting and maintenance. Then removing the intake manifold may be carbon deposit generated when cleaning the intake pipe. When I came to the interior, the design was old-fashioned, but the sense of luxury was still full. Panoramic sunroof, electric adjustable steering wheel, steering wheel memory and other practical configurations are available. The wear of the interior is still obvious, especially some main contact points, such as steering wheel and gear lever, and the leather part of the seat is damaged.
Let's look at the main driving seat belt related to serious accidents. The production date is 2065438+June 2006, which is consistent with the original car's delivery time. The fixing screw of the seat belt buckle has no dismounting feature, and the interior of the buckle is clean and free from deposit corrosion. An important inspection item of the interior is to check whether there is soaking water, so start from the bottom. There is no disassembly trace of the seat chute fixing screw, no deposit in the chute, and no obvious corrosion on the bottom metal skeleton and motor surface.
There is no rust on the metal surface of the instrument panel internal frame and steering column. Considering the situation of metal parts such as cigarette lighter and seat belt buckle, the possibility of vehicle soaking in water is basically ruled out. Most of the key knobs of the whole vehicle are intact, and there is no abnormal failure in functional configuration. Only the adjustment button of the rear air conditioner is damaged, which is probably a masterpiece of children and needs to be replaced later.
The static test has come to an end, there is no big problem, and the next step is the road test and chassis test. The customer said that there is no need for a road test, and it is no problem to drive around by yourself. Then use the elevator next door to lift the vehicle into the detection chassis. Remove the chassis lower guard, and the engine gearbox and other components will be exposed. At first glance, things look bad! Black oil stains one after another!
There is obvious leakage at the joint between gearbox and engine. If it is the internal crankshaft rear oil seal or gearbox oil seal, the later maintenance is troublesome, and the engine gearbox needs to be separated before the next oil seal replacement operation can be carried out. At present, the connecting screw between the engine and the gearbox has not been disassembled, so it is judged that it has not been repaired at least at present.
There is also obvious oil leakage on the surface of the engine oil pan, oil drops are still hanging on the bottom, and black sealant is also attached to the oil drain screw. The reason for the paste death should be that the oil drain screw is not tightly sealed or the screw slips. Actually there is this kind of operation? The next maintenance will have to use an electric drill to drill holes, and the oil will be burned to death after changing the oil! You can imagine a repairman cursing his mother! The fixing screws of the engine feet on both sides are intact, and it can be judged that there is no possibility of disassembling the engine for maintenance in combination with the fact that the spindle beam has not been disassembled.
Four-wheel suspension shock absorber arm and other parts are normal, without post-disassembly, shock absorber without oil leakage and ball joint rubber sleeve without damage and oil leakage. After the second inspection, the front and rear longitudinal beams and other structural members were found to have no surface deformation, and the serious accidents before and after the vehicle could be completely ruled out after the later repair. The four-wheel brake calipers have been removed, and worn parts such as tires and brake pads have been replaced, which also meets the service conditions and normal maintenance operation of 654.38+08 thousand kilometers. Chassis part is checked.
Finally, connect the OBD computer and read a small number of historical fault codes, which is not a big problem; Continue to read the gearbox data stream, showing that the mileage saved last time was as high as 184000 km, and now the odometer shows only 1 10000 km, and the watch has been adjusted! For cars less than five years old, Tucki thinks that 1 1 10,000 kilometers is enough. Unexpectedly, the real mileage is 18000 kilometers, which is the average driving intensity of 40 thousand kilometers a year!
