I hope to communicate more with you about the problems of BMW 3 Series GT and my experience of using BM3.

It’s been a long time since I’ve written an article, so I can’t call it an article. At best, I’ll just write some personal experiences. ?Mine is a 2018 330GT that was launched in July. It has been running for nearly a year and a half now, and the mileage has reached about 34,000 kilometers. It should be considered normal. I occasionally run on the highway, mainly in the city, so this car There is a more serious problem, that is, the fuel consumption is not very friendly, and the trip computer fuel consumption remains at 13.5. Therefore, after filling up a tank of oil, the mileage will be approximately 490 kilometers, which is basically the frequency of using 3 tanks of oil in two weeks. I have a suggestion for friends who are planning to buy this car or are still hesitating. If you really don’t care about power, buying the 320 will save a lot of fuel. But then again, when I bought the car, I went for a test drive. There was no test drive for GT at that time, so I was asked to try the 320 standard axle of the 3 Series. When I got in the car and drove it, I found that the power was not suitable for me. required, so I bought the 330 later. It is conceivable that the 3 series does not meet my requirements, and the GT does not meet my requirements even more. After all, the GT is heavier than the 3 series with the same tuning data. Of course, this is all my personal feeling. Everyone has different requirements for cars and cannot be generalized. Just take a look.

Perhaps many car owners are confused about where to go for maintenance and what engine oil to use. Let me take myself as an example. In addition to getting my first insurance at a 4S store, I also got the maintenance coupons I received when buying insurance at a 4S store. The other two times I did it outside. As for what model and brand of engine oil 4S used for me, I actually don’t care much. I will focus on the engine oil I usually use for maintenance outside and the cost. The basic maintenance is usually changing the style, oil, filter element, air conditioner size, etc. The style and filter are all made by Man brand, and the prices can be checked online. So, you don’t need to change the air conditioner every time. Of course, if you have the conditions, it’s best to change it every time. This doesn’t hurt. Then for the engine oil, I used Paxron's 5w-30. I need to talk about this engine oil carefully. This brand of engine oil should be relatively expensive. I add about 4.5 liters at a time for maintenance. When buying, I need to buy 5 liters, which is about 600. More than 700 yuan. Personally, I feel that the explosive power of this engine oil is better than the engine oil I have used before. I also use this oil for other cars. I have used Motte, Limo, and Shell before. In comparison, I think Paxron is the best. What I feel is the most direct. Note that I mean it gives me a personal feeling. For example, the last time I used their engine oil for maintenance on my 4S, I changed it to Paxron this time. After the change, it felt really much better. The response was more sensitive and direct than before. That’s why I always love this oil. engine oil.

Of course, after driving more than 30,000 kilometers, there are many problems, but they are all minor problems. I am a very serious person. If I find a problem, I must solve it immediately, otherwise I will feel uneasy. ?The first problem I discovered was the abnormal noise from the passenger back panel. It was a sound similar to metal hitting plastic, clicking, clicking, clicking, and the sound was irregular. Sometimes It makes a sound, sometimes it doesn't, and it doesn't matter whether it's an asphalt road or an ups and downs road. After dismantling this problem, I repeatedly put things on the backrest and stuck it with tape, but it didn't help. It troubled me for a long time, and then it stopped ringing for some reason, so this is solved. Let's just think of it as self-healing. ? Then at 20,000 kilometers, I noticed that there was an abnormal sound when I was reversing and turning the steering wheel left and right, so I went to 4S to check it. When I went there for the first time, I immediately found out that the top of my left shock absorber was broken, and then gave it to me. I claimed one and got it replaced two days later, and then they said it was solved. There was indeed no sound when I picked up the car. This is for sure. Three minutes after I drove out of the 4S store, I found that the familiar abnormal sound appeared again. A few days later, I went to 4S again to continue the inspection. It turned out that 4S was very perfunctory about this kind of work that takes time and has no working hours. They only checked it for me for less than half a day during the two days when the car was left. Why do I know this? Because the car is in the state. With the app, I can see the car’s trajectory, fuel consumption, etc.

Later, I drove the car back to check it myself. After I drove back, I went to a few stores to check. Finally, I found out that it was not a problem with the top of the shock absorber tower, but a problem with the chassis parts below, a ball in the swing arm. If the head is broken, it should be called a bent arm. I went to another 4S store. The technical manager came out and listened to my statement. He also saw that I was holding a stethoscope and said that there was no need to check. I believe you. Then he ordered a pair of lower elbows for me. After putting them on, the whole world It was quiet, and the abnormal noise completely disappeared. The manager said that BMW is like this. The chassis is very tight. These swing arm ball joints are prone to problems. Now that I have replaced them with a new pair, they will probably have this problem after running more than 10,000 kilometers. I said that is not the case. There is no way, I admit it. Seeing this, do you think that I am already in a rough situation and the problem is gone, far from it. ?The last problem is also the most serious. At about 25,000 kilometers, I turned the steering wheel slightly and found a little gap. I drove back to the 4S store where I made the first claim, because this store is in our town, so I made sure it was close first. When I went to the store, I did another operation, and then I also discovered the problem I mentioned. I judged that the steering gear was faulty, that is, it was broken. Yes, you heard me right. 25,000 broken steering gear. I was also surprised at the time. Here we are, my Camry has been running for 160,000 kilometers without breaking down, the RX350 has been running for more than 80,000 kilometers without breaking down, and the A3 has been running for more than 40,000 kilometers without breaking down. However, the BMW has broken down, and I am heartbroken. Because the steering machine is also an important component. The technical manager of the 4S store said that it would definitely not work to claim the steering gear for the first time, because it costs more than 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. First, claim for a steering gear press block repair kit. If the replacement fails, you can then claim for the steering gear. As a non-professional, of course I choose to believe you. After replacing the steering wheel clamp, the problem still exists. His attitude this time was OK and he immediately helped me apply for a steering wheel claim. A week after I came here, the steering gear arrived. I drove to 4S to replace it. After replacing it, I found that the abnormal noise was still there and the problem was not solved at all, which meant that it was not the steering gear problem. Oh my God, the original steering wheel was replaced like this. It didn't matter. The main thing was that I began to doubt their professionalism. Later I became disillusioned with this 4S store. After returning home, I went to the 4S store in Liaobu. They said they suspected that the cross section was broken, so I had to order it back and have it installed. Later, after the parts came back, I installed it. The original tight feeling of the steering wheel has returned, the abnormal noise has disappeared, and the matter has finally come to an end.

After talking about so many ups and downs, let’s talk about something lighter. I won’t talk about the car selection process anymore. Everyone is different and there is no reference value. The biggest feeling this car gives me is that it's good everywhere, but it's not the best anywhere. It's such a contradiction. First of all, I am a BMW fan. I don’t know if I can avoid a 3 Series in my life. I know that I prefer BMW. I like the appearance of this car very much. Although my ideal car is the A7, the 3GT is already infinitely close. The sharp lines of the entire car give people a feeling of strength, with just the right proportions. The four frameless doors are full of an unruly atmosphere, and the large hatchback at the back brings good streamlines. The most important thing is that every time the tail wing automatically rises at 110 yards, I feel that the money is well spent. In terms of power, more than 250 yuan matches the car weight of 1.8 tons. For me, it is only slightly better than enough. When it is driven, the control is actually average. After all, the car is not small, and the chassis is higher than that of the 3 Series. It still drives well. It doesn’t feel as good as the 3 Series, there’s no doubt about that. But this car has all the configurations that it should have, Harman audio, head-up display, full-time four-wheel drive, comfortable entry and waiting, but there is no ACC. When driving in normal mode, it still feels gentle and restrained. Switch to sport mode and it will become violent. The speed is always around 3,000 rpm, so you are ready at any time. The valve opens as the speed increases, and the throttle is very responsive. When driving, it feels like the human and the car are one, although that is a bit exaggerated. Overall, although this is not a cost-effective car, it is definitely a good car. People who don't like it will be absolutely ugly, but people who like it will like it very much.

In this period of time, I have refreshed the first-level program of bm3. To give you a brief introduction, the first-level refreshment of 320 is actually the largest audience. It is even more powerful than the original 330 car, so if you pursue Power, and I bought 320, I can actually try to brush up to the first level.

After all, bm3 is a global platform, and its program is relatively stable and constantly being revised. Many riders around the world are using it. In fact, my car did not improve much after brushing the first level. Overall, it became smoother and better to drive. I see that the 330 is also brushed with water chestnut. I hope I can give you some reference after brushing it. Under the same conditions, the original rotation speed is 1000 rpm. After brushing the first level, it will become 1500 rpm, and the rotation speed will be slightly higher. In normal mode, it feels like the accelerator has become lighter. If you step on the accelerator a little deeper, it will immediately downshift and speed will follow. When in the sport mode, the valve automatically opens when I select the sport mode. In the sport mode, it is really violent. When I lightly step on the accelerator, I feel that this is a 3-400 horsepower performance car, and the power is always reserved there. When you step on the accelerator, you get an immediate response, which is very exciting. The most surprising thing is that before, the middle and rear sections felt weak. After the first level, the middle and rear sections are simply too strong. It feels a bit self-priming when driving. Drive to 180 yards and continue to pedal, just like I feel when I continue to pedal at 120 yards. As long as you dare to pedal, you will always have a steady stream of motivation. ?Actually, I have paid attention to a lot of programs and have been following them for a long time. Why I chose bm3 among many programs is largely because it is well-known and has a wide audience, and it is also very convenient to use. It can be operated by the car owner himself and can be repeated. use. And there are many programs to choose from. You can use whichever one you want. Of course, this is based on the corresponding hardware of yours. If you want to flash back to the original factory, you can do it at any time. If you want to flash to level 2, just pay a few dozen dollars and you can use the level 2 program right away. It’s really convenient. Of course, there are still risks in swiping the program. This is not to say that it is absolutely safe. You have to weigh this issue yourself. It's not that bm3 is the best program, and it's certainly not the fastest, but compared to what's currently suitable for BMW, bm3 should be the one with the largest audience, so I chose it.

Recently, because of pneumonia, everyone stayed at home to celebrate the New Year. I took out my old camera and took random pictures. The car was washed a year ago and it is quite dirty. I’ll just take a look at it if you like it. Finally, I wish you all good health in the new year!

A full set of genuine AP9040 six-piston brakes. The characteristic of this set of brakes is that the front is linear after all. When you step on the back, you will feel like hitting the wall. You will not say that you will hit the wall as soon as you step on it. This set of brakes is chosen for daily use on the street. After all, Comfortable, cost-effective, classic and attractive.

With the genuine AP7600 four-piston at the back, it is also cost-effective, classic and attractive.

The replacement is the MP all-black mid-grid, which is more than a thousand dollars cheaper. There was no Yaoye version at that time

The fast-back shape, I don’t know if you like it, but I am very fond of it anyway. I like the electric rear wing

I chose one aspect of it

The rear lip was changed to a 335 double outlet, a simple double outlet, that is, the exhaust pipe is stretched from the left to the right, matching the Scorpio The tailpipe is mainly for aesthetics. I replaced it with B48 before, but there was vibration around 1300 rpm, so I removed it.

The original car has two and a half fingers in the front and two fingers in the back. I like the height very much.

The feet are 45 degrees, and the wheels are the original 19-inch 598

The tires have been replaced with ordinary tires. Although they are not big brands, they are much more comfortable

Right 45 degrees, say hello when I see you on the road

This angle looks slender

The rear 45 degrees looks a bit like a coupe

The headlights are okay, but the inside is originally Blackened, but I like the spoon lamp after all

Too amateurish to take pictures at an amateur level

Visual view

I changed it to a seven-piece mp set, which is pretty good

The red sports seats look good, but they are actually uncomfortable to sit on

Forgive me for not washing the car , too lazy

BM3 first-order, I won’t go into the tutorial, just go to the 3 series forum and search a lot, it’s very simple

Thank you everyone for watching. If the response is good, I will invite a model to take pictures next time to benefit everyone. Thank you again. If you have any questions, you can communicate with each other.
