Sedans can be fitted with roof racks. However, it is necessary to apply for approval and modification procedures at the relevant vehicle management office within 10 days after the modification; otherwise, it will be considered illegal modification. 1. Regulations: China's laws have clear stipulations regarding the loading of items on roof racks—passenger cars are not allowed to carry cargo except for the external roof rack and built-in trunk. The height of cargo on a passenger car's roof rack must not exceed 0.5 meters from the top of the car and must not exceed 4 meters from the ground. 2. Main uses: In addition to serving as decoration and enhancing aesthetics, a roof rack can hold items that do not fit in the trunk, such as large luggage, bicycles, folding beds, etc. As long as the owner secures the cargo properly, especially by adding a cargo net, it can carry more items. Of course, the load must not exceed the rack's designed capacity of 30-50 kilograms.

What does TPMS fault mean?

TPMS fault refers to a Tire Pressure Monitoring System malfunction. When this warning light illuminates, it alerts the driver to abnormal tire pressure, which may be caused by low pressure in one of the tires. The tire pressure should be checked as soon as possible. If the TPMS warning light comes on while driving, immediately reduce speed and avoid sharp steering or sudden braking. Then, check the tire pressure, inflate all four tires to the proper level, and press the tire pressure reset button to clear the warning. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims that support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure driving performance.

How to Fix Squeaky Wiper Blades?

The solutions for squeaky wiper blades are: 1. Check if there is any foreign object between the wiper blade and the windshield, and remove it if found; 2. Inspect the rubber part of the wiper blade for hardening, burrs, notches, cracks, or tears. If any of these issues are present, replace the wiper blade. If there are only burrs, you can lightly sand them twice with 1000-grit sandpaper and test again; 3. If the wiper blade is not the cause, perform a water spray test on the windshield. If you notice areas where water does not bead up or spreads quickly, it indicates the presence of an oily film on the windshield. In this case, use a degreaser or adhesive remover to clean the windshield; 4. If the noise is caused by uneven force during the wiper's back-and-forth motion, remove the wiper blade and place a piece of cardboard on the windshield. Gently place the wiper arm on the cardboard and check if the lower plane of the wiper arm makes full contact. If there is an angle, it means the wiper arm is bent. You can use a wrench to adjust the angle of the wiper arm. Wrap the wiper arm with a thick towel during adjustment to prevent the wrench from damaging the paint on the wiper arm.

What Causes Car Shaking During Startup?

The reasons for car shaking during startup are: 1. The throttle is dirty or the fuel injector has excessive carbon deposits. The gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector is largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts, making it difficult to start; 2. Irregular wear of the clutch three-piece set (flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate), causing one or several components to become misaligned; 3. Aging of engine components; 4. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor; 5. Increased spark plug gap, leading to reduced ignition energy; 6. Improper air-fuel mixture ratio.

Does the BMW Mini depreciate quickly?

The depreciation rate of the BMW Mini is around 6%, which is not considered fast. Vehicle depreciation: Vehicle depreciation loss refers to the loss formed when a vehicle is damaged in a traffic accident. Although the performance is restored after repair, it is difficult to fully restore the vehicle's service life, safety performance, and handling performance to their previous state, resulting in an inevitable reduction in actual value. This is the loss caused by the accident leading to a decrease in the vehicle's value. Depreciation scenarios: Minor frictions on the vehicle will not incur depreciation costs. In more severe traffic accidents, although the damaged vehicle is repaired, it is difficult to completely restore its performance to the pre-accident level, and the vehicle's safety is correspondingly reduced.

What is the fuel consumption of the BMW 750?

The fuel consumption of the BMW 750 is 8.5L/100KM. Road conditions affect the fuel consumption of the BMW 750: Official tests simulate the resistance of a car driving on flat, dry roads, conducted in a laboratory chassis dynamometer with stable friction resistance and no gradient resistance. However, actual user vehicle conditions vary greatly, with road surface and gradient, wetness, curves, and mountainous roads all affecting real fuel consumption. Driving conditions affect the fuel consumption of the BMW 750: Driving conditions have the greatest impact on fuel consumption. Official fuel consumption tests are conducted under typical driving conditions, consisting of two parts: urban conditions with low-speed driving (maximum speed 50km/h, average speed 19km/h) and suburban conditions with high-speed driving (maximum speed 120km/h, average speed about 63km/h). However, actual user vehicle locations and driving conditions vary widely, which is the main reason for significant differences in measured fuel consumption. Frequent city driving results in higher vehicle fuel consumption; normal highway driving results in lower fuel consumption; frequent short trips mean the vehicle operates at ideal temperatures relatively less often, thus also consuming more fuel.

How often should the BMW 8AT transmission fluid be changed?

BMW 8AT transmission fluid is generally changed every 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Signs that indicate the need for transmission fluid replacement include: vehicle shaking, gear shifting hesitation; transmission overheating warning on the dashboard; car stalling; and unusual noises. Different vehicle models have different replacement cycles. Below are the replacement cycles for transmission fluid: Manual Transmission: Manual transmission fluid is generally recommended to be changed every three years or approximately every 100,000 kilometers. Automatic Transmission: Automatic transmission fluid is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately every 40,000 kilometers. Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): CVT fluid is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately every 60,000 kilometers. The methods for changing BMW 8AT transmission fluid are as follows: Loosen the drain screw at the bottom of the transmission to drain the old fluid before refilling. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain and refill the fluid: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities from the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulation machine to change the automatic transmission fluid: Dynamic fluid replacement with an intelligent circulation machine can filter and clean sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission.
