Domestic BMW 3 Series models do not have manual transmissions; they are all equipped with a manual-automatic integrated transmission. However, imported 3 Series models do offer manual transmissions, specifically the UK version of the 3 Series. Manual transmission gear selection follows the vehicle speed: When driving, you must start in 1st gear. Between 10 to 20 km/h, you can use either 1st or 2nd gear. Between 20 to 30 km/h, you can use 2nd or 3rd gear. Between 30 to 40 km/h, you can use 3rd or 4th gear. Between 40 to 50 km/h, you can use 4th or 5th gear. Above 50 km/h, use 5th gear. As the speed increases, the gear should also be shifted up accordingly. Introduction to manual-automatic integrated transmission: This is a transmission method that combines manual and automatic shifting in a car.

Symptoms of a Faulty Exhaust Solenoid Valve?

When the camshaft exhaust solenoid valve malfunctions, the vehicle primarily exhibits symptoms such as difficulty starting, lack of power during acceleration, stalling easily after starting, and the vehicle's malfunction indicator light turning on. The symptoms of a faulty camshaft exhaust solenoid valve are as follows: 1. Difficulty starting: When the camshaft solenoid valve fails, the valve cannot open and close freely, leading to problems with starting the car; 2. Lack of power during acceleration: If the camshaft solenoid valve fails, the oil drain hole may close, preventing effective fuel transfer and combustion, resulting in a lack of power during acceleration; 3. Vehicle stalls easily after starting: If the solenoid valve suddenly closes or fails to operate properly when the car is started, it can cause the engine to stall; 4. Vehicle malfunction indicator light turns on: There are many reasons for the vehicle's malfunction indicator light to turn on, and a faulty camshaft solenoid valve is one of them.

What to Do When a Small Bulge Appears on the Side of a Tire?

Tire sidewall bulges and scratches require replacement because a bulge indicates that one or more steel wires inside the tire have broken, causing the rubber to fail to withstand the internal pressure of the tire, resulting in the bulge. Below is an introduction to tires: 1. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery for rolling on the ground. They are usually mounted on metal rims to support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, achieve contact with the road surface, and ensure the vehicle's driving performance. 2. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. 3. Tires must have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation.

Why Does a Car Need Wheel Alignment?

Wheel alignment is a technique used to correct the geometric positioning angles of the wheels. This is necessary because the installation of car tires, steering mechanisms, and front and rear axles should maintain specific angles and relative positions. Correcting the angles and positions between the chassis and tire components is what wheel alignment entails. Here are the reasons for performing wheel alignment: 1. The vehicle pulls severely to one side, and noticeable uneven tire wear is observed, which could be on the outer or inner side of the tire. 2. The car has been involved in a significant collision that affected the tires. 3. Components on the vehicle frame or axle suspension have been disassembled. 4. When two or more tires have been replaced.
