I remember the BMW i8 did have a convertible version, but to be clear, it wasn't a traditional soft-top. The i8 Roadster, launched in 2018, featured a folding hardtop design that could retract into the rear compartment in just 25 seconds with the press of a button. However, this version was 60 kg heavier than the coupe, and the rear half of the body was completely redesigned. The coolest part was the integrated rollover protection system, allowing the roof to be operated at speeds up to 90 km/h. Back then, it cost nearly 2 million RMB out the door, and while you can still find some on the used market now, the convertible versions are particularly rare. Unfortunately, production ended in late 2019, so if you're looking for one, you'll have to hunt the pre-owned market.

Why is there a sound when braking suddenly?

It may be related to brake pad wear. Methods to resolve the issue: If it's metal-on-metal contact, the discs and pads should be replaced immediately. Additionally, if the brake warning light on the dashboard is not activated, the sensor connected to the brake warning light should also be checked for any issues. When a screeching sound occurs while braking, aside from the initial bedding-in period of new pads, the first step should be to inspect the brake pads to see if they are worn out or if there is any foreign material present. If the brake pads are worn out, they should be replaced immediately. If foreign material is found, the brake pads should be removed, the foreign material extracted, and then reinstalled. When a hissing sound occurs while braking, it is recommended to first check if there are any issues with the friction between the caliper, brake disc, and brake pads. Brake pads are consumable items: They become thinner with vehicle use. When the friction layer is nearly depleted, there is a warning mechanism at the edge of the brake pad—the brake pad wear indicator (a metal tab). At this point, the metal tab will rub against the brake disc, producing a sharp metallic friction sound as a warning to remind the driver to replace the brake pads.

What are vehicles with white license plates?

White license plates are used for government departments, police cars, armed police forces, and military vehicles. License plate categories: Blue background with white characters: This type of license plate indicates general vehicle categories, including private cars, taxis, small trucks, and minibuses. Yellow background with black characters: This type of license plate is generally used for motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 50CC, large trucks, medium and large buses, public buses, construction site vehicles, and driving school vehicles. White background with black characters: This is the exclusive license plate for police vehicles, including those used by public security, traffic police, and armed police. Green background with white characters: These are new energy vehicle license plates. Black background with white characters: These are license plates for embassy and foreign commercial vehicles. License plate introduction: Commonly known as vehicle plates, they refer to the plates hung on the front and rear of vehicles. They are typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, and display the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles. Their primary function is to identify the vehicle's region of registration and to allow tracking of the vehicle's owner and registration details based on the license plate.

How to Start a Car Without Inserting the Key?

The ignition button is located within easy reach on the center console, hence it is also called "one-button start". Below are the steps to start the vehicle: 1. Press the start button once to power on. 2. Press it again, and the dashboard lights will turn on. At this point, the fuel pump begins to work. It is best to pause for five seconds to allow the fuel pump to fully operate. 3. Then, press the brake and press the start button once more to ignite. The following is the method to turn off the engine with keyless start: 1. Press the brake and bring the vehicle to a smooth stop. 2. Shift the gear from D or R to N. 3. Engage the handbrake (for electronic handbrakes, simply pull it up). 4. Release the foot brake, but do not turn off the power (this is to ensure the vehicle is completely stopped under the handbrake's effect, preventing the P gear from locking). 5. Continue pressing the foot brake and shift the gear from N to P. 6. Release the foot brake and press the one-button start button to turn off the power, completing the engine shutdown.

What is the cause of small shaft noise in one cylinder of an engine?

Small shaft noise in a cylinder is related to the crankshaft bearing, connecting rod bearing, piston pin, and piston ring areas. The function of the engine crankshaft: The crankshaft is the main rotating mechanism of the engine, responsible for converting the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the piston into its own circular motion. The engine speed is essentially the speed of the crankshaft. The crankshaft bears the force transmitted by the connecting rod and converts it into torque, which is then output through the crankshaft to drive other engine accessories. Composition of the crankshaft: The crankshaft mainly consists of the crankshaft front end (or free end), connecting rod journal, main journal crank, balance weight, and crankshaft rear end flange (or power output end). The main journal is installed on the cylinder block, the connecting rod journal is connected to the big end hole of the connecting rod, and the small end hole of the connecting rod is connected to the cylinder piston, forming a typical crank-slider mechanism.

Is there a Subject 5 in the driver's license test?

Currently, there is no Subject 5 in the driver's license test. Below are the four subjects of the driver's license test: 1. Subject 1: Theoretical test. 2. Subject 2: Five-item test (reverse parking, curve driving, parallel parking, right-angle turn, and hill start). 3. Subject 3: Divided into two parts (nighttime light simulation test and actual road driving test). 4. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving test. Below are the passing standards for the driver's license test: 1. Traffic regulations and related knowledge (Subject 1) — Written test, full score of 100, 90 or above is passing (including 90). 2. Field driving (Subject 2) — On-site, actual vehicle. Only pass or fail. Reverse parking, parallel parking, S-curve, right-angle turn, and hill start and stop are the five mandatory items tested in sequence. Full score of 100, 80 or above is passing (including 80). For large buses, medium buses, and large trucks, 90 or above is passing (including 90). 3. Road driving (Subject 3) — Highway or simulated site, actual vehicle. Full score of 100, 90 or above is passing (including 90). 4. Safe and civilized driving-related knowledge (Subject 4) — Written test, full score of 100, 90 or above is passing (including 90).

What is the ground clearance of the Elysion?

The minimum ground clearance of the Elysion is 134 millimeters. The minimum ground clearance of the Elysion refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. Generally, the higher the ground clearance of the Elysion, the better its off-road capability. However, if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The Elysion is a mid-sized MPV under Dongfeng Honda. The length, width, and height of the Elysion are 4951mm, 1842mm, and 1711mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2900mm, a front track of 1560mm, and a rear track of 1560mm. Typically, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110mm and 150mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200mm and 250mm. However, the ground clearance of the Elysion is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the Elysion's load variations. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice depends on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban driving with well-paved roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance may enhance stability and comfort. For long-distance travel or driving in areas with poor road conditions, a vehicle with higher ground clearance is advisable to avoid scraping or damaging the undercarriage.
