Is the BMW 5 Series Monthly Payment of 868 Yuan Really True?

This needs to be calculated based on the actual loan situation. Here is some relevant information about BMW cars: 1. Introduction: BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke AG), fully known in Chinese as Bavarian Engine Manufacturing Plant Co., Ltd., is a German luxury car brand. BMW's car series include i, X, Z, and pure number models, as well as series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and the M series (BMW's official high-performance modification department) based on improvements to each series. BMW was founded in 1916 and is headquartered in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. The blue and white BMW logo represents the colors of the Bavarian state flag where BMW is headquartered. Over the past century, BMW has evolved from an aircraft engine manufacturer into a corporate group that leads in premium cars and produces world-renowned aircraft engines, off-road vehicles, and motorcycles, ranking among the top automobile companies in the world. Its full name is die Bayerischen Motorenwerke (Bavarian Motor Works). 2. Logo Meaning: BMW stands for Bavarian Engine Manufacturing Plant, and the colors and combination of the logo come from the state emblem of Bavaria, where BMW is located. BMW started as an aircraft engine manufacturer, leading many to believe that the logo represents a rotating propeller, but this is not the case. In fact, the meaning of the symmetrical blue and white pattern is very simple—it is the state emblem of Bavaria, used to remind people of BMW's pure Bavarian heritage.
Seeing someone say that the monthly payment for a BMW 5 Series is only 868 yuan, I have to say that's totally unrealistic. The BMW 5 Series is a premium car, with a starting price in China of over 400,000 yuan. Under normal loan conditions—say, a 30% down payment, 5% annual interest rate, and a five-year repayment period—the monthly payment would easily be around 5,000 to 6,000 yuan. 868 yuan sounds like an advertising gimmick, possibly tied to a promotional offer requiring a very high down payment or an ultra-long loan term, like over ten years. But this would significantly increase the total interest cost, meaning you'd end up paying much more in the long run. As someone who keeps a close eye on household expenses, I find such low monthly payments tempting, but it's crucial to scrutinize the details: the total car price, interest rate, and additional fees. Don't just jump at the low monthly payment without doing the math. Consult a knowledgeable friend or calculate it yourself—buying a car is a major expense, so don't fall into a trap.
