210,000 to buy an SUV, do not look at the Tiguan CRV, prefer to choose the second-hand BMW X2, the result of the engine out of condition

Hello, hello everyone, the car inspector Fat Tiger has met with you again ~ Welcome to watch this issue of used car testing fun. I am loved by people, flowers bloom, accident cars see the fat tiger I have bypassed, not only a used car detection technician who has repaired the car, but also an accident car to dissuade the division, to help customers solve all difficulties is the main value of my existence.

At the beginning of each month, the automotive circle not only pays attention to last month's sales list, but also pays attention to last month's complaint list! In april's complaint list, BMW rarely won three seats in the top ten, namely the best-selling 5 Series, 3 Series and X3, and many complaints focused on the burning oil of the B48TU engine and the function of the car machine was not in line with the advertised! Burn the oil not to say, old problem! The official added 0.5L more oil to solve the problem! As for the complaint of the sales link, then ask the 4S store!

Although the complaint list is eye-catching, Fat Tiger predicts that it will not affect bmw's overall situation, and sales will rise! After all, BMW is on an equal footing with Mercedes-Benz! Blue sky white cloud car logo to bring people a sense of identity superiority and luxury experience is too tempting, in front of the big brand, what burn oil, what oil leakage, what late car repair frequency is high, repair car expensive, the vast majority of car owners can endure! And more people are still on their way to becoming BMW owners!

For example, today's customer sister, with a budget of more than 200,000 yuan, is targeting SUVs, but is not willing to look at the mainstream joint venture brands of CRV and Tiguan, but picked a second-hand BMW, a relatively niche BMW X2. This X2 and X1 are not much different in size and design layout, the power system is exactly the same, belongs to the same platform of products, but the appearance is more fashionable and young, and X4 and X6 take the same personality route! For the beautiful girl who pursues a relatively high appearance, X2 is undoubtedly more attractive!

The customer sister should have high people to point out, know how to buy second-hand check maintenance and insurance records, and the doubts of this X2 are in the insurance claim, the record clearly writes "flooded car disassembly", and the summary is also "suspected of soaking water"! At that time, the little sister thought not to buy, but the merchant tried to explain that there was no water, that is, the car was just parked under the drainage hole of a factory, and the rain entered the engine compartment with some water. Washed in the 4S shop, the car condition is fine!

The little sister did not understand the details of the insurance record, and also doubted the words of the merchant, and under the guidance of the high person, decided to find someone to check the car and see how the car was! So it's time for the Fat Tiger to play! When you arrive at the scene, you don't have to say anything!

Model year: 2020 sDrive25i Premium M off-road set

Factory time: 2020-03

Meter mileage: 35230KM

Manufacturer guidance: 309,800

Merchant offer: 218,000

First circle around the body to see if there are any obvious scratches, color differences, deformations and the like, or if there is a harvest, find a pit and small scratch! By the way, take a look at how much paint thickness the original factory has.

Then from the front of the car to see the details step by step, the front bumper gap has obvious flying paint, the burrs on the edges around it are also obvious, the workmanship is relatively rough, and the fixing screws of the front bar have traces of twisting off the paint, and the comprehensive judgment of the front bar is replaced, and there is a repair in the later stage.

Looking at the front anti-collision beam from the gap in the headlight, no deformation knock marks were found, and there were no screw marks on the fixing screws. Indicates that there has not been a major collision in front of the front of the car. If the collision is more serious, the front anti-collision beam cannot be so intact!

The upper tank frame is also no problem, the fixing screws are safe and sound, and there is no deformation in the frame and the cooling fan inside. This also verifies Fat Tiger's assertion that there were no accidents in front of it!

The front parts are intact, the inner layer of the girder is no problem, after all, the accident is from the outside to the inside intrusion, look at the beam head paint surface, there is no accident, the surface is naturally regular and non-deformed, or the original factory state. However, the overall situation cannot be seen from above, and we must pay attention to objectivity and rigor when we do testing, so we must confirm it from under the chassis later.

Look at both sides of the front of the car, the paint thickness of the left and right fender beams is not abnormal, the beam body is not deformed and welded and repaired, and the interior of the flashlight inspection is also relatively regular, there is nothing wrong.

Both headlights are manufactured in November 19, within the vehicle assembly cycle, the workmanship is the same, but the headlights have been disassembled, may be adjusted before the bumper gap is removed, does not affect.

The front of the car is in good condition, that is, a front bar is changed, and we continue to look at the whole car painted in the back. There is a small pit in the left B pillar, and there is no spray paint sheet metal around it, which is judged to be something hard when the door is closed.

The paint film instrument hit a circle, most of the paint surface is the original paint, only the right front fender above the rotation of the sheet metal scraping putty spray paint, small scratching, the problem is not big.

The four doors were not disassembled and replaced, but the hinged bezel of the left front door was slightly damaged, and it did not affect! After reading the paint surface, you can probably judge that there is no accident in the whole car, and it is close to the original paint!

The next step is to study the engine, which is transverse like the X1, code-named B48A20C, and is a model of the B48TU, so does it burn oil? There is a high probability that it will, but we can't detect it in an hour or two! This has to use an oil change cycle, observe the amount of oil and cylinder conditions to know. Even if we can guess seven seven eight eight in our minds, the test report reflects objective facts, and we must respect science.

The valve room cover was actually removed, only opened for two years 30,000 kilometers, oil leakage? Or what is the reason?

The intake pipe and air filter have also been removed, which is interesting!

The pawl screws have also been removed, do you know what the role of the paws is? It is to fix the frame and engine together to prevent loose jitter, and to lift the engine, the pawl must be removed first.

Fortunately, the timing cover, exhaust manifold and turbocharger were not removed, and there was no disassembly of the engine.

Unscrew the oil cover, the edges see signs of emulsification, this kilometer should not be ah! Fat Tiger thought of what the merchant said, the engine compartment has entered the water, is it...

But after looking at the various metal parts and wiring harnesses in the engine compartment, there is no trace of rust or sediment residue in the water! It may be that the water quality is relatively clear, or it may be cleaned up very thoroughly, and the real situation is only known by the chassis!

Don't care about admiring the interior of the BMW, or first find out whether there is flooding. Generally, the interior of the flooded car is the hardest hit area, but according to the merchant, only the water in the engine compartment is not a big problem. Either way, the interior can't be taken lightly.

Observe the skeleton slide at the bottom of the seat, there is no large area of rust, and there is no sediment residue in the wiring harness gaps.

The dashboard skeleton and cigarette lighter are not rusty, and the seat belt card slot is also clean!

The fat tiger who is not dead hearted, and then pulls the threshold trim open, opens the carpet to carefully check the gap in the threshold, or does not find the sediment and water stains, the carpet is not moldy and hard, it seems that the interior is indeed innocent!

Obd read the full car function, there is no large number of fault codes generated by soaking water, only the body module has two faults, but it does not affect the use. The number of kilometers is also no problem, which eliminates the possibility of adjusting the meter.

Go to the repair shop with the customer's sister, put the vehicle on the lift, remove the chassis guard, and the answer is about to be revealed!

Observe the pawls at the bottom of the engine, as well as the connection screws that combine the engine and the gearbox, all of which have been removed, and sure enough, the engine is hoisted! Only two years to hoist the maintenance of the engine is obviously not normal, and there is no accident physical impact, combined with the oil emulsification and the details of the insurance record, Fat Tiger finally determined that the engine into the water.

The problem seems to be not small, but it is seen that the parts list on the risk record, only an air filter, the piston, the crankshaft are still good, indicating that the amount of water is not large, did not cause major damage to the engine.

The gearbox was not disassembled, but it was bleeding! Only 30,000 kilometers, BMW is really unconscious!

Front and rear suspension, steering machines, including front and rear girders are no problem, so the whole inspection is over!

The condition of the car has been very clear, the whole vehicle has no accidents, the number of kilometers has no adjustment meter, but the engine has been repaired by water, how to enter the water is no longer important, what is important is that the little sister is still willing to buy this car, and how much money can be bought.

The little sister first consulted the opinion of the fat tiger, the fat tiger believes that this engine does not deeply decompose and overhaul, and there is no serious problem of cylinder pulling, crankshaft deformation, etc., and the number of kilometers running is not much, and the maintenance process of the 4S shop should be guaranteed, and the later working conditions are no different from the original factory, and there will be no frequent failures! However, it is not excluded that the maintenance process is not good, which may lead to shortened engine life and a series of incidental problems.

That's it! Buy or buy, we don't make recommendations! The little sister asked the high person she relied on, and finally gave up the purchase, saying that she was worried about the uncertainty of the late engine! You can understand the mood of the little sister, and it is right to be cautious! Good luck to her next time!

Well, today's test sharing is here, I am a used car inspection technician in the car inspector. Like it, spray it if you don't like it. I repair more cars, read less, and write badly, please bear more responsibility. Car inspector, willing to be your friend who knows the most about cars!
