2012 BMW GT535i: From "Call for Help" to "Peerless"!
Hey guys, today we're going to talk about a legendary car – the 2012 BMW GT535i. The car is from a Jiangsu boss who has been driving 160,000 kilometers in the wind and rain, and the condition of the car is quite miserable. However, don't be discouraged, the owner has approached us and hopes to fight for another ten years through an all-round refresh. Without further ado, let's follow this car and walk into the wonderful journey of "luxury car cultivation".
First of all, we have to get to know this 5 Series GT. This is a million-level luxury car, the exterior design adopts the power, handling and comfort of the 7 Series, and the price was as high as 1 million yuan that year. However, with the passage of time, today's second-hand market is worth up to 100,000. Although it may not be interesting to sell it, as a business car, it can still glow with its luxury light through a refresh, after all, it is still a million-level car, and it is quite cost-effective.
Our contact with this car can be traced back to February 2023, when the owner reported that the BMW GT535i had a problem with burning engine oil and needed to be refurbished overall. The owner of the car is a big businessman, and we also talked about his unique perspective on doing business during the exchange.
After the vehicle arrived, we conducted a road test. Amazingly, the owner said: "I don't care about the problem of the car, you can get it how you say, I am only responsible for paying the bill to ensure that the repair is in the best condition." "This kind of trust and atmosphere is really rare to see.
We did a deep cleaning and inspection of the vehicle and found that the engine compartment was clean and leak-free, but the 11-year age and 160,000 kilometers of driving made it start burning oil. So, we decided to just replace the valve seals and not overhaul them.
The next car repair has been magnificent. We have carried out a comprehensive upgrade of the engine and chassis, and updated the upper and lower swing arms, tie rod ball joints and other components to improve the smoothness of the ride. In terms of appearance, we have refurbished the entire paint of the car and repaired exterior scratches. In terms of interior, we have carried out a comprehensive cleaning and restoration, including seats, headliners, buttons, etc.
The entire refurbishment process took six months and took a high-speed test to reveal a completely new car. The eldest brother of the owner spoke highly of our work, and he drove this eleven-year-old car back to his youth.
This car repair trip was full of challenges and rewards. The trust of the owner, the upgrade of the chassis, the renewal of the appearance, and the restoration of the interior, every link is the careful care of this car. The completion of the whole process is also the pride of our team.
Luxury car cultivators, monster team, looking forward to seeing you again next time!
