From my experience, a BMW 5 Series reaching 300,000 kilometers is likely to need a major overhaul, but it's not absolute. If you've been keeping up with regular maintenance—like changing the oil every 5,000 kilometers, and regularly checking the brakes and transmission—it might still have some life left. However, 300,000 kilometers is a significant test for any car, and BMWs are particularly prone to issues like oil pan leaks or timing chain problems. I once saw someone in a car enthusiast group who had similar repairs done, costing over ten thousand yuan. Safety is crucial; the risk of component failure due to aging is high at highway speeds. I recommend getting a full vehicle scan at a professional shop to avoid breaking down midway.

What is the reason for the small light not turning off?

The reason the small light does not turn off is that the turn signal was not reset when the engine was turned off. The functions of the small light include: 1. Making the vehicle more easily identifiable during daytime driving; 2. Alerting surrounding vehicles and pedestrians when the vehicle is turning by activating the small light; 3. Providing road illumination during nighttime driving. Vehicle lighting consists of position lights, turn signals, headlights, fog lights, reverse lights, and brake lights. The methods for using lights during rainy weather are: 1. When it starts raining lightly, turn on the daytime running lights; 2. When the rain intensifies, turn on the headlights and front fog lights; 3. In case of heavy rain, turn on the low-beam lights along with the front and rear fog lights.

What is the voltage of a car battery?

Car batteries typically operate between 11.8 volts and 12.8 volts. The correct charging method for a car battery is as follows: 1. Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the positive terminal of the power source and the negative terminal to the negative terminal; 2. Charge until the electrolyte releases bubbles and the single-cell voltage rises to 2.3 to 2.4 volts, then stop; 3. Reduce the charging current to half; 4. Measure the single-cell voltage until it reaches 2.7 volts, indicating the charging is complete. A car battery consists of plate groups, separators, electrolyte, casing, terminals, connecting straps, and filler cap. Maintenance tips for car batteries include: 1. Avoid parking the car in open parking lots for extended periods; 2. In winter, avoid repeatedly starting the car without intervals; 3. Regularly charge the car battery; 4. Periodically clean the battery terminals and apply grease to protect the wiring harness.
