Bmw headquarters building is very eye-catching

The first, second and third floors are exhibition halls, displaying all kinds of cars from ancient times to the present. In the Olympic Park, you can clearly see the headquarters of BMW.

This building looks like a car engine.

The full name of BMW is Bayer Schemotorenwerke AG, or Bavarian Engine Factory. Because the cars produced by BMW are famous for driving and handling, the first two letters of BMW, as the Chinese phonetic alphabet of "BMW" in China, also reflect the speed and handling of BMW.

M stands for sports series.

Z stands for sports car series.

I have always thought that buying a car depends on a person's bloodline. Now, through the continuous merger and cooperation of automobile manufacturers, we can find Japanese cars under Ford, Korean cars under GM and British cars under Volkswagen. The engineering design and production location determine the performance that the brand can't decide.

European cars: First of all, I want to analyze European cars, because cars were invented by Germans. European cars have the highest market share in Germany, France and Italy.

Germans can be said to be the most rigorous nation in the world, even a little rigid (I heard a joke from a German friend that in German recipes, the weight of all kinds of ingredients is measured in grams, and many Germans have scales in their kitchens, hehe), so German cars are famous for their good quality. If you have driven a German car, you must know that sometimes some parts on the car have never failed once when the car is scrapped, but friends who buy German cars can. German cars also have shortcomings. Because the road conditions and air in Germany are much better than those in China, many times German cars will not be used to China. Give two examples: the first one is about suspension design. In the above, I have introduced the longitudinal stability and ride comfort of the car. These two indexes are contradictory to suspension design. Because if the suspension is designed to be hard, it is not easy to roll, which is beneficial to longitudinal stability; If the suspension is designed to be soft, it is not easy to transmit the vibration of the road surface, which is beneficial to ride comfort. Because the roads in Europe are generally good, German engineers mainly consider the longitudinal stability when designing cars, at the expense of ride comfort to some extent, which is not in line with China's national conditions. The second problem is that POLO's engine stalled at high speed in China. The problem is caused by the sensor connected to ECM- Engine Control Module being too sensitive and sending out an error signal. Because of the good air quality in Germany, this problem was not found in the vehicle-level reliability test, but it appeared in China. In addition, Germans are more inclined to protect their own technology, so both Shanghai Volkswagen and FAW-Volkswagen are dominated by Germans, and they don't treat China consumers specially, and basically don't make domestic improvements. Therefore, imported products are often unable to adapt to the China market. Even Shanghai Volkswagen has made jokes. Goyle basically doesn't have air conditioning, and domestic diesel is also a problem that plagues diesel car users.

French cars usually produce very little, but they have a huge product line. French people are full of romantic blood, so the cars they design are usually eye-catching and humanized. Moreover, the French are more open, so they often design some distinctive models, which are very suitable for the tastes of white-collar workers in China. However, due to its production problems, French cars are often unable to make small profits but quick turnover, so the cost performance of cars is usually not very high.

Score: 3.5 points

Italy has world-class designers, but God is fair. It doesn't have the best engineers in the world. Therefore, except for a few high-end sports cars, Italian production cars tend to be mediocre and have no performance highlights.

Score: 3.2 points

American cars: Let's take a look at the first country that let cars enter the family-the United States. The United States was the first country to turn cars from luxury goods into daily necessities (Henry Ford invented the technology of producing cars by assembly line, which greatly reduced the manufacturing cost of cars).

Americans may be the country that pays the most attention to human rights in the world, so personally think that the safety of American cars is the best in the world, so they do not hesitate to sacrifice fuel economy. Because the American legal system is very humanized, once the manufacturer's design or quality problems, in addition to accidents, manufacturers often have to pay a heavy price. Therefore, American cars often give people a practical feeling. I remember reading a report that an old Buick of Shanghai GM fell from a 50-meter-high mountain, and the driver in the front row and two passengers in the back row were just skin injuries. They also called the staff of the special maintenance station to the scene, and finally spent almost the same maintenance cost as the car to repair it and continue driving. From this we can see another characteristic of Americans: paying attention to customers. That's why GM has to improve in China. In fact, this feature of Americans is worth learning, otherwise there would be no world brands such as Nike, Coca Cola, McDonald's, Procter & Gamble and Microsoft. I admire the strategy that even after-sales service has its own brand. The second advantage of American cars is power and passability. American cars are usually equipped with high-power and large-displacement engines. This is directly related to the perfect expressway network in the United States. The third advantage is that Americans are pragmatic. They will not blindly use new technologies to attract consumers. They generally tend to adopt mature technology, which is a responsible attitude towards customers.

But compared with consumers in China, American cars also have their fatal shortcomings. First, save fuel; Limited by the income level, China people often think more about fuel consumption when buying a car, and how to save a little money. The safety design of vehicle weight is beneficial to safety, but not to fuel consumption. For a simple example, ancient soldiers often wore thick armor, which was safe but laborious. Second, Americans don't pay much attention to appearance, so American cars often give China people a more rustic intuitive feeling. You may not expect that many American beauties will drive pickup trucks around the world. This is a question of cultural differences. Fortunately, Americans are aware of this problem. Ford imported Mondeo of European descent, and every GM model was improved at the local technical center in China. Third, American cars have a little more minor problems than German cars, giving Chinese people a rough feeling. But the quality of the core components of American cars is still good.

Japanese cars: Japanese people can make cars.

Although I hate Japanese, I have to admit that Japanese are very nice. They have a very unique level in cost control, such as lean production (pull production initiated by Toyota Company, which simply means to determine output according to market feedback, reduce inventory, but improve the requirements for logistics system), material saving and so on. Therefore, Japanese cars often give people a feeling of high cost performance. Although it is not the best car, it is the most affordable car. Moreover, Japanese cars pay great attention to details, so Japanese cars give people the impression that they are more meticulous in workmanship. The biggest advantage is the excellent fuel consumption of Japanese cars. Because Japan's local resources are very limited, Japanese engineers take fuel economy as the first guiding spirit when designing cars. The third is that Japanese cars have fewer minor problems and are more convenient to maintain.

However, the advantages of Japanese cars are in turn its disadvantages. Saving materials makes Japanese cars thinner, saves fuel and sacrifices safety. Some comrades may have to raise objections, saying that Japanese cars can also get high marks in the crash test. Of course I know this, but this is the cultural difference between Japanese and Americans. Americans are people-oriented and fully consider human safety when designing; The Japanese only consider the requirements of laws and regulations, but the laws and regulations may not be comprehensive, which is why the investigation results of the Guang Ri accident claim that the car has no quality problems and has reached the standards of enterprises. Because China only has regulations on frontal collision, but there is no regulation on side collision at present, let's work together. Thirdly, the design standards of Japanese cars are usually low. Because of my work, I have read the design standards of Volkswagen, General Motors and Nissan about an automobile part (the design standard is the summary of the parameters needed to design a product), and found that Nissan can only meet the requirements of 50% compared with GM and Volkswagen.

Korean cars: The rapid development of Korean cars in recent years has given car lovers all over the world a surprise.

Korean cars are mainly represented by Hyundai, Kia and General Daewoo. South Korean car factories have the cheapest supplier system in the world (under the condition of ensuring basically stable quality, because they are cheaper, they can't compete with those small factories in Zhejiang). Moreover, Korean cars are fancy, and they often like to use the configuration of mid-range cars in low-end cars and the configuration of high-end cars in mid-range cars, giving consumers a kind of value-added enjoyment. Moreover, Korean design ideas are very suitable for China people's tastes, as evidenced by the sales of Elantra and Excelle in China. However, it does not rule out that Excelle is listed as Buick, integrating global resources (the shape comes from Giorgetto, which combines the designs of Germany, Korea and Australia, but the main engineering design comes from South Korea).

However, Korean cars also have their inherent shortcomings, obvious power defects, and engines are not suitable for power, so they can only adapt to urban working conditions. This is a car, although the cost performance is relatively high, but the fuel consumption is not so cost-effective, unlike Japan. Moreover, the biggest feature of Koreans is that their manufacturing ability is stronger than their engineering ability, so many designs are often not perfect, and it is not very scientific to rely on a strong manufacturing process level to maintain the quality of products.

Domestic cars: What I want to talk about here are cars designed and produced by the people of China and my country.

Advantages: 1 Cheap 2. Cheap 3. Still cheap.

Disadvantages: there is an English phrase called Chinese copy, which means to copy intact. I'm ashamed of this word. Both Japanese and Koreans started out by copying, but others developed their own abilities. However, many businessmen in China often only see the immediate interests. When copying Japanese devils and American devils, they often forget to digest and analyze, blindly copy the advantages and disadvantages to their own cars, and like to use the words "this car uses an engine provided by BMW" to attract some users who don't know much about cars. In fact, even if a car uses parts from well-known manufacturers, if it doesn't match, the effect may not be good.

I once heard a colleague who worked in Chery tell me that the cars sold by their factory even had tested and certified parts, which made my heart tremble. Later, after he explained it to me, I was relieved that there were almost no safety parts in these parts, only some appearance parts and functional parts.

I am a patriotic person. I think it's inevitable that China will take some shortcuts in the initial stage, but I hope that China manufacturers can put their money into improving their own capabilities after making money from consumers. After all, it is not competitive to always rely on plagiarism. One day, our cars can occupy the bottom market of the world like color TV refrigerators.

6. Friendly reminder

When buying a car, you can refer to the insurance price and JD power score of similar foreign cars. Foreigners look at these two indicators when buying a car. The insurance price determines the number of accidents, and JD power determines the user survey results. I read the JD power report released by China this year, and I think it is not very accurate in China, probably because the sample size of the sampling survey is too small, which is for reference only.
