BMW i8 tires can be widened, but it must be done according to actual conditions and not arbitrarily. Increasing the width may cause contact with other components, leading to inability to drive or accidents, so widening tires should be done cautiously. Wider tires obviously increase the contact area with the ground, improving grip and better withstanding lateral forces, while also significantly enhancing performance in braking and cornering. The BMW i8 is a hybrid-powered two-door supercar, featuring a dynamic front bumper and classic radiator grille design, inheriting BMW's consistent family philosophy. In terms of body dimensions, the car measures 4689mm in length, 1942mm in width, 1282mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2800mm.

Should You Turn on AC When Driving in Winter?

You don't need to turn on AC when driving in winter. Here's a detailed introduction to car air conditioning: 1. Cold air is produced by pressurizing the refrigerant through the compressor to liquefy and then vaporize for cooling. 2. Warm air comes from the heat generated by the engine during operation to warm the car interior. 3. The AC button controls the air conditioning compressor - turn it on for cold air but keep it off for warm air. 4. In cold seasons when you need to quickly raise the interior temperature: After starting the car, wait until the engine temperature gauge needle points to the middle position, then first turn on the warm air while setting air circulation to external to expel cold air from the cabin. After 2-3 minutes, switch air circulation to internal.

How to Solve Excessive Exhaust Temperature?

Excessive exhaust temperature can be resolved through the following methods: 1. Insufficient coolant: The engine cooling system may lack antifreeze due to potential leakage points such as water pump leaks, damaged pipes, or a broken radiator. 2. Excessively high concentration of combustible mixture in the cylinder: In such cases, it is necessary to inspect whether the oxygen sensor and fuel injection system have any faults. If the oxygen sensor fails, the vehicle will not be able to automatically control the fuel injection volume. 3. Abnormal cylinder pressure and ignition timing: A decoder can be used to read the data stream from the knock sensor, and then adjustments can be made to the fuel injection volume and ignition timing based on the data stream information.

What are the techniques for shifting gears in a car?

Shift from first gear to second gear after starting, and upshift step by step without skipping gears. Each gear shift should be completed in one motion to avoid damaging the gears, which not only harms the mechanical parts but also may cause accidents. Familiarize with the gear positions. The gear positions are usually clearly marked on the gear shift knob. When getting into an unfamiliar new car, take time to learn the different gear positions. Starting phase: Put the gear into neutral, press the clutch, turn on the ignition, engage first gear, slowly release the clutch while applying the throttle to start the car. Acceleration process: After the car starts, as the engine speed increases, shift into the appropriate gear according to the vehicle speed.

Is Lowering the Vehicle Height Illegal?

Lowering the vehicle height is considered illegal. Here is a detailed introduction to the scope of illegal vehicle modifications: 1. Widebody modifications and installation of oversized tires: Modifications to the intake and exhaust systems can affect the overall performance of the vehicle and are detrimental to driving safety, making them prohibited areas for modifications. 2. Chassis modifications: Raising or lowering the chassis constitutes structural modifications to the vehicle. 3. Headlight modifications: These not only affect the visibility of pedestrians and other drivers but also fail to pass annual inspections. 4. Engine modifications: Such as reprogramming the engine ECU, installing strut bars in the engine bay, adding turbochargers or superchargers, etc. While these can significantly enhance performance, they greatly limit the engine's lifespan and may lead to premature engine failure.

How to Remove Red Cloth Dye Stains from Car Doors?

New cars often have red cloth decorations that may bleed color, especially during rainy weather, staining parts of the car's paint. This is particularly noticeable on light-colored paint. Here are several methods to clean these stains: 1. Natural Waiting: It's generally recommended to remove the red cloth. If staining has already occurred, don't panic. Wait a few days for the stained area to fade naturally. 2. Automotive Cleaner: Use a professional automotive cleaner, which can be purchased online or at auto supply stores. Spray the cleaner directly onto the stained area and then wipe it off. 3. 4S Shop or Car Wash: Visit a 4S shop or car wash for polishing. Using a polishing machine yields good results, but it may cause some damage to the paint as polishing reduces the paint's thickness. Regular maintenance is also important to protect the car's paint. Methods such as waxing or applying protective films can help preserve the paint.

Do I need to go to the DMV for a 2-year vehicle inspection?

Vehicles that meet the exemption requirements do not need to undergo an on-site inspection at the DMV every two years. Below are the specific details about vehicle inspection exemptions: Required documents: The vehicle owner must personally bring the vehicle's registration certificate (both original and copy), the owner's ID card, the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate, among other relevant documents. Exemption regulations: Vehicle inspection exemption refers to vehicles that meet the exemption criteria within 6 years, exempting them from the on-site inspection process. Owners only need to apply for an inspection label every two years and affix it to the vehicle as required. Essentially, this means the on-site inspection is waived. As long as the vehicle meets the national policy requirements, owners can directly apply for the inspection label from the traffic management department without undergoing an on-site inspection.
