Check the production date of the car. The delivery time is usually the same as the production date and should not exceed around 3 months. The engine compartment of a new car should be shiny and tidy. Inspect the doors; a properly functioning door should open and close smoothly without any strange noises, and the sealing rubber should be intact. Examine the tires. Normal new car tires should be free of any damage. The longer a car stays in stock, the more outdated the model becomes, and the higher the cost for the dealer. Prolonged parking can be very damaging to the car.

What to Do If Car Window Tinting Has Bubbles in Winter?

Solutions for car window tinting bubbles in winter: 1. For few and small bubbles, use a needle or utility knife to puncture them, then flatten with a squeegee and heat gun; 2. If there are numerous or large bubbles caused by dust particles or other impurities, it's recommended to visit a professional detailing shop for treatment, and consider replacement if necessary. Reasons for tinting bubbles: 1. Installation quality: Improper cleaning of glass surface, windy/dusty installation environment, or technician's inadequate skills/tool usage may cause bubbles; 2. Film quality: Low-quality films tend to develop bubbles, wrinkles, and adhesive failure leading to hollow bubbles.

What is the tutorial for replacing the BMW cabin air filter?

Locate the area where the BMW cabin air filter is installed. Use a 10mm socket to unscrew the cover plate fixing screws, remove the cover plate, disconnect the power cord, and use a T20 screwdriver to unscrew the two fixing screws on the air conditioning cover plate, then remove it. Take out the old filter and replace it with a new one. Below is relevant information about the cabin air filter: 1. Function: It filters dust particles from the air, preventing these pollutants from entering the car's evaporator and causing sludge buildup that could block the evaporator. The cabin air filter also filters dust, water vapor, pollen, carbon oxides, and sulfides from the air. 2. Precautions: The cabin air filter easily accumulates dust. Use compressed air or similar methods to blow off the dust; never wash it with water, as this can easily damage it. Over time, the activated carbon filtration function of the cabin air filter will diminish, so it is recommended to replace the cabin air filter at a 4S shop.

Is the Compulsory Insurance Label No Longer Required to be Displayed?

Compulsory insurance labels are required to be displayed unless there is a local policy implementing electronic insurance policies. In regions like Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Shandong, the requirement to display paper labels was abolished in 2019 as part of the trial electronic insurance policy program. In these areas, there is no need to affix the compulsory insurance label on the windshield. In the event of an accident, even without carrying the compulsory insurance policy, it is not an issue as traffic police can verify the insurance status through backend systems. Compulsory insurance is China's first mandatory insurance system implemented under national law, with premiums set at a nationally unified rate as stipulated by the state. However, the price of compulsory insurance varies depending on the vehicle model, primarily influenced by the 'number of car seats'.

Is it necessary to depress the clutch when shifting to neutral?

Shifting to neutral without depressing the clutch is possible, but it is recommended to develop the habit of depressing the clutch for the following reasons: 1. Shifting to neutral without depressing the clutch requires more effort; 2. It can cause excessive wear on the synchronizers inside the clutch and even damage due to gearshift impact. Coasting in neutral is generally considered a fuel-saving operation, but for modern fuel-injected engine cars, coasting in neutral should be used with caution, and coasting in neutral with the engine off is strictly prohibited. Neutral typically refers to the state where the vehicle's gear lever is not engaged in any forward or reverse gear, and the transmission is completely disengaged from the drive wheels. For manual transmissions, neutral is in the middle position, while for automatic transmissions, it is marked with an "N".
