With regular maintenance, a BMW 3 Series can generally last for more than 10 years. Here are some maintenance considerations: 1. Regularly clean the filters: It is important to frequently clean the car's filters, as this directly affects fuel consumption. During the operation of the car's internal combustion engine, dust and other impurities will continuously mix into the engine oil. Additionally, the oxidation of the oil by air and combustion exhaust gases will gradually form sludge or deposits, which not only accelerates component wear but can also cause blockages in the oil passages. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly clean the car's filters until it's time to replace the air filter. 2. Adjust tire pressure: Low tire pressure can lead to abnormal wear or internal damage to the tires, while high tire pressure makes the tires and rims more susceptible to deformation from impacts on uneven road surfaces and may even cause a blowout. Tire pressure must be checked regularly. Apart from the spare tire, the other tires should be checked at least once every two weeks. The tire pressure check must be performed when the tires are cool, as high temperatures can increase tire pressure, leading to inaccurate readings.

Has the 80 km/h Speed Limit on Highways Been Cancelled?

No, it has not been cancelled. The 80 km/h speed limit on highways allows for an 8 km/h tolerance, meaning you won't be penalized for speeds up to 88 km/h. Below is more information about speeding: 1. Penalties: Driving at 85 km/h in an 80 km/h zone is considered speeding, but since it doesn't exceed 10% of the speed limit, there will be no fine or penalty points, only a warning. If you exceed the limit by 10% to 20%, you will be fined and receive 3 penalty points. Exceeding the limit by 20% to 50% results in a fine and 6 penalty points. 2. Legal Basis: Article 86 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China'.

What is the use of neutral gear?

Neutral gear generally refers to the state where the gear lever of a motor vehicle is not engaged in any forward or reverse gear, completely separating the transmission from the drive wheels. For manual transmissions, the neutral position is in the middle, while for automatic transmissions, it is marked with an "N". The following are the uses of neutral gear: 1. Coasting in neutral: Coasting in neutral refers to the operation method where the driver places the gear lever in the neutral position while the vehicle is moving, separating the clutch between the engine and the drive wheels, and using the vehicle's inertia to move. Coasting in neutral must be done under conditions that ensure safety and normal vehicle technical conditions; coasting with the engine off is not allowed, especially when going down steep or long slopes. 2. Parking: The main function of neutral gear is for parking. After parking, it is essential to shift the gear into neutral and then engage the handbrake.

What is the speed limit for the left lane on a two-lane highway?

The speed limit for the leftmost lane on a two-lane highway is 100-120 km/h. Below are specific details about highway speed limits: 1. Posted speed limits: Speed restrictions are based on the limits indicated by road signs and markings. These speed divisions are not uniformly regulated; they vary between regions or even different sections of the same highway, requiring drivers to constantly pay attention to posted limits. 2. Legal speed limits: On roads without a center line, the speed limit is 40 km/h; on roads with only one lane in the same direction, the limit is 70 km/h; when entering or exiting non-motorized lanes, passing through railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, narrow bridges, or when making U-turns, turning, or descending steep slopes, the speed limit is 30 km/h. The maximum speed limit on highways is 120 km/h. 3.
