The warranty period is 3 years or 100,000 kilometers. Here is more information about BMW's warranty: 1. Warranty coverage: If a vehicle fault or component damage occurs during normal use as specified by the manufacturer, the manufacturer provides free repair or replacement services. Additionally, if the vehicle requires towing due to quality issues, the associated costs are also covered by the manufacturer. 2. Situations not covered by the warranty: (1) Damage caused by accidents, collisions, fire, theft, freezing, or other external factors. (2) Unauthorized modifications or additions to vehicle components by the owner, including changes to the body or chassis that result in vehicle malfunction or damage. (3) Damage caused by the use of non-genuine BMW parts. (4) Vehicle faults or damage resulting from repairs not performed at an authorized BMW service center.

I was also curious about BMW's warranty period before, so I checked the manual. BMW's basic warranty is 3 years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. However, last year at the 4S store, I saw they were running a promotion where new energy models could extend the battery warranty to 8 years or 160,000 kilometers. When buying a used car, you need to be extra careful—always check the warranty status in the system, as some third-party extended warranties may become invalid after the car changes ownership. Nowadays, many owners simply check the remaining warranty period directly on their mobile apps, which is much more convenient than visiting the 4S store.

Does the first maintenance at 7,000 kilometers have any impact on the car?

7000 kilometers first maintenance has an impact on the car. Components: Car insurance generally includes two parts: basic insurance and additional insurance. Basic insurance is further divided into vehicle damage insurance and third-party liability insurance. Compensation content: Vehicle damage insurance compensates for the loss of your own vehicle; third-party liability insurance compensates for targets outside your own vehicle, such as people and public property you hit, the other party's car, etc.; passenger liability insurance compensates for the loss of people and property in your own vehicle; theft insurance compensates for the theft of your own vehicle; no-deductible insurance ensures 100% compensation in case of an accident. If no-deductible insurance is not purchased, you will bear 30% of the deductible for each accident.

What should I pay attention to when buying a used motorcycle?

Buying a used motorcycle requires attention to the vehicle's age. Pay attention to the appearance: Some used motorcycles have been involved in accidents. To increase the value of these used motorcycles, dealers may refurbish them, repaint the vehicle to make it look newer. Therefore, when purchasing, carefully inspect the appearance, check all corners and parts of the vehicle for signs of repainting, and look for wear on the tires, headlights, and bumper. Pay attention to the chassis and frame: After a vehicle is involved in an accident, even if the exterior is well repaired, the frame and chassis are difficult to restore. If you notice any deformation or bending, be cautious as this vehicle may be an accident-damaged one.

Do You Need to Pre-order a Car When Buying One?

Whether you need to pre-order a car when buying one depends on your personal requirements. Brake pad classifications: Asbestos brake pads (mostly obsolete), semi-metallic brake pads, low-metallic brake pads, NAO formula brake pads, ceramic brake pads, NAO ceramic brake pads. Ceramic brake pads vs. traditional brake pads: In traditional brake pads, metal is the primary material that generates friction, providing strong braking force but with higher wear and a tendency to produce noise. After installing ceramic brake pads, no abnormal squealing (i.e., scraping sounds) will occur during normal driving. Since ceramic brake pads do not contain metal components, they avoid the metal-on-metal squealing that occurs between traditional metallic brake pads and their counterparts (i.e., brake pads and brake discs).

Why did the headlight restoration spray become blurry after over-application?

First, use 3M 2000-grit sandpaper to sand while spraying water until the excess restoration spray is removed, then polish with a polishing machine. After treatment, you can reapply the spray. Introduction to Car Headlights: Car headlights, also known as automotive front lights or LED daytime running lights, serve as the 'eyes' of a vehicle. They not only affect the owner's external image but are also crucial for safe driving at night or in adverse weather conditions. Purpose of Headlight Adjustment: It allows the vehicle's lights to maintain an appropriate height at all times, facilitating nighttime driving and adapting to varying road surfaces. Importance of Headlight Adjustment: The more passengers seated in the rear, the lower the rear of the car will sag, causing the front of the car to rise accordingly. This elevates the headlight height, potentially dazzling oncoming drivers and distracting them, which can easily lead to traffic accidents.

What Procedures Are Required for Color Change Registration?

The documents required for applying to change the color of a motor vehicle include: "Application Form for Motor Vehicle Modification Registration," identity proofs of the vehicle owner and agent, the motor vehicle registration certificate, and the motor vehicle driving license. According to Article 6, Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," if the color change area of a motor vehicle does not exceed 30%, there is no need to apply for modification registration. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, registration is required, and the change must be registered within 10 days after the vehicle's color is altered. Precautions for changing vehicle wrap color: Before changing the color of a vehicle wrap, it is necessary to consult the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to determine whether the region permits changing the vehicle's color through wraps. If the region does not support this method, the registration procedure cannot be completed after the modification, and the wrap must be entirely removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," owners are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first change the vehicle's color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply for modification registration with the vehicle management office. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for modification registration under the following circumstances: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Whole vehicle replacement due to quality issues. Change of use, such as converting a commercial vehicle to a non-commercial vehicle or vice versa. Change of the vehicle owner's residence in or out of the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must be painted with designated patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from painting, installing, or using patterns, alarms, or signal lights that are exclusive to these vehicles or similar to them. Article 56 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" states that if the body color is changed without completing the required modification registration, the public security traffic management department may issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to its original color.
