If you want to buy a luxury medium and large sedan, you will naturally have some understanding of the BMW 5 Series. Since the launch of the new BMW 5 Series in September last year, the sales performance has been good after further upgrading the comfort performance of the vehicle, and it has exceeded 26,000 monthly sales in January this year, even surpassing some of the popular family cars on the market. So for users who want to buy the BMW 5 Series, is now a suitable time to buy a car? At the same time, for the luxury cars on the market, how should the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series choose? Next, we will understand the terminal market situation of the BMW 5 Series and briefly analyze it.
The offer is doubled, but the existing car has to wait a month
Through the investigation of a BMW 4S store in Beijing, we learned that this store sold 207 new cars last month, and there were 82 BMW 5 Series, accounting for nearly 40% of the store's sales, which can be said to be the main sales model in the store. Sales tell us that of all the configurations of the BMW 5 Series, the best selling is the "2022 Remodeled 530Li Leading Luxury Suit", with a guide price of 469,800 yuan, mainly in black and white. As for why this car sells well? We analyzed two reasons, first of all, as a 2.0T high-power entry model, it is 68 horsepower higher than the low-power version, can complete the 100-kilometer acceleration in 7 seconds, and the fuel consumption is only 0.2L more than the low-power version, and the performance in power and fuel consumption is relatively good.
In addition, the configuration of this car is also relatively complete, equipped with active brakes, induction trunk and front seat heating and other functions, you can feel the luxurious driving experience brought by BMW. Although compared with the mid-to-high-end models, there is less four-wheel drive system, some seat adjustment functions and driving assistance devices, but it does not have much impact on our usual car, and it is understandable that all this entry-level model can sell well. However, at present, the bmw 5 series of vehicles is relatively tight, there is no existing car in the store, and it takes nearly a month to order a car.
Compared with last year's 10,000 or 20,000 discounts, this year's BMW 5 Series terminal discount directly exceeded 45,000 yuan, nearly doubling the discount. However, if you buy a car in installments, you need to pay financial fees and interest, but if you buy a car in full, you can save nearly 30,000 yuan, as follows:
1, full purchase of cars: Take the BMW 5 Series hot model as an example, on the basis of the price of 469800 yuan, there are 45,000 yuan of cash discounts, and then count some hard road costs, including license fees (about 3,000 yuan), insurance costs (about 15,000 yuan) and purchase tax (about 36,231 yuan), then calculated, the landing price of this car is almost 479031 yuan.
2, installments / replacement car purchase: installments can also enjoy 45,000 yuan of cash discounts, the manufacturer provides a down payment of 30% of the loan program, but need to charge a financial fee of 3% of the loan amount, about 8902 yuan, and also have to pay about 20474 yuan of loan interest, then the down payment of 30%, the down payment amount is about 127170 yuan, each monthly payment is about 8243 yuan. In addition, in terms of replacement car purchase, sales said that after the replacement, 5,000 points and 100,000 kilometers of maintenance packages can be provided for 5 years.
Details can be found in the following table:
As for who are the consumer groups of the BMW 5 Series? According to the situation told by sales, customers who come to the store to see the car are basically relatively high in income, and the focus of car selection is mainly on the luxury brands of BBA. For some business users, in addition to caring about the vehicle's power and handling performance and the degree of perfection of the configuration, they also pay more attention to the vehicle retention rate, and on the whole, the BMW 5 Series is indeed more in line with their needs.
To "face" the choice of Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series is based on strength?
Since you are considering buying a luxury car, it is natural to compare the BMW 5 Series with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Compared with the shortage of BMW 5 Series discounts, Mercedes-Benz E-Class is more relaxed, not only has a lot of existing car inventory of volume models in the store, but also the discount has maintained last year's level, and the highest discount can reach 40,000 yuan. After looking at the end market of the two cars, let's analyze their respective product strengths.
The BMW 5 Series clearly puts more emphasis on sporty performance, and the 5.1-meter length also gives it an edge in space. Although on the books, the bmw 5 series is not as powerful as the Mercedes-Benz E-class, but the main advantage is that the mechanical structure adjusted by BMW has a sense of control, which can give a certain driving pleasure. Mercedes-Benz E-Class pays more attention to creating luxury attributes, especially in the interior, although the space is not as good as the BMW 5 Series, but it is also spacious enough, and the power will be more inclined to emphasize the comfort of driving.
In general, the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which are the first echelons of luxury cars, have excellent product strength as a whole. However, both cars want to highlight the characteristics, bmw 5 series more focused on sport and handling performance, while Mercedes-Benz E-class pays more attention to the luxury and driving comfort of the car.
Then there are some uses after the purchase of the two cars
BMW 5 Series maintenance cycle of 10,000 km or 12 months, the price of small maintenance is 1065 yuan, according to the family car three years to travel 60,000 km mileage, that BMW 5 Series three years of total maintenance costs of about 16344 yuan, an average of about 5448 yuan per year.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class is also maintained every 10,000 kilometers or 12 months, the price of small maintenance is 1182 yuan, and the total maintenance cost of three years is about 17,000 yuan, an average of about 5667 yuan per year, compared to the BMW 5 Series, the price is slightly more expensive.
Next is the salvage performance of the second-hand car of the two cars
We learned from a mainstream second-hand car platform that the BMW 5 Series "2020 530Li xDrive Luxury Suit", the landing price at that time was about 490,000 yuan, and after driving 37,000 kilometers in a year and a half, the residual value of the second-hand car is now 439,900 yuan.
Mercedes-Benz E-class "2020 remodeled E 300 L sports fashion type", the landing price at that time was about 480,000 yuan, after a year and a half of driving 17,000 kilometers, now the second-hand car residual value of 423,000 yuan. It can be seen that the value preservation of the Mercedes-Benz E-class seems to be inferior to that of the BMW 5 Series.
Write at the end
At present, the preferential situation of bmw 5 series is still very good, nearly doubled compared with last year, and the highest can reach 45,000 yuan, which is undoubtedly a good time for consumers who have been waiting for a long time. However, if you buy a car in installments, it is not particularly cost-effective, you need to charge some financial fees and loan interest, but the full purchase of a car can save nearly 30,000 yuan. In general, BMW 5 Series as one of the leaders of the domestic luxury car market, quite sporty appearance and mechanical handling is indeed worthy of recognition, taking advantage of the preferential margin to enlarge, now the car is also a suitable time.
