The gear shifting method for the BMW 5 Series is as follows: 1. Press the brake, hold down the black button on the left side, and move the gear lever toward the center console to engage the D (Drive) gear; 2. If you press the button and push forward while the vehicle is stationary, you will engage the R (Reverse) gear; 3. Without pressing the brake, hold the button and push forward to engage the N (Neutral) gear; 4. When parking, simply press the P (Park) button on the gear lever to engage the parking gear. Gear shifting refers to the transmission, which is used to change the torque and speed of the engine crankshaft to meet the varying needs of traction and speed required by the driving wheels under different driving conditions such as starting, accelerating, driving, and overcoming various road obstacles.

What does 5fe mean?

5FE refers to the weight of this balancing block being 5 grams. Installation amount of balancing blocks: This component is highly useful, but more is not necessarily better. In fact, fewer are preferred, and the weight should not be excessive. Installing too many or overly heavy blocks increases inertia and reduces handling capability. Wheel imbalance affects driving experience, so if a balancing block falls off, it negatively impacts the driver's experience. Introduction to balancing blocks: Balancing blocks, also known as tire balancing weights, are counterweight components installed on vehicle wheels. Their purpose is to maintain dynamic balance when the wheels rotate at high speeds.

What is the energy density of gasoline?

The energy density of gasoline is 0.70g/cm³-0.78g/cm³. Physicochemical properties of gasoline: At room temperature, gasoline is a colorless to light yellow mobile liquid that is difficult to dissolve in water, flammable, with a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. It explodes when exposed to fire at concentrations of 74-123 grams per cubic meter in air. The calorific value of gasoline is approximately 44,000 kJ/kg (the calorific value of fuel refers to the heat produced by the complete combustion of 1kg of fuel). Introduction to gasoline: The English name for gasoline is Gasoline (US)/Petrol (UK). It appears as a transparent liquid, is combustible, with a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. Its main components are C5-C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into grades such as 90, 93, 95, and 97 based on the octane number.

Is White Smoke Indicative of Burning Oil?

White smoke is not indicative of burning oil. White smoke occurs when water enters the cylinder and turns into a large amount of steam, resulting in white smoke. Blue smoke, on the other hand, is a sign of burning oil. Reasons for blue smoke from the exhaust: High engine speed when cold and low speed when hot can lead to poor combustion, causing carbon buildup and blackening of the exhaust pipe. Some vehicles may also emit blue smoke for the first few seconds, which is a sign of burning oil. White smoke from the exhaust: White exhaust smoke is a special case, as it can indicate both a fault and a normal condition. If the vehicle is started in low temperatures and the exhaust is white while the engine runs normally, this is considered normal. In winter, due to low outdoor temperatures, the high-temperature exhaust gas passes through the catalytic converter and muffler, and when it meets the cold air, the color appears due to the thermal exchange effect.

Can a car be converted to run on natural gas?

Household cars can be converted to run on natural gas, but the necessary procedures must be completed and the pros and cons of the conversion should be considered. For cars with low usage frequency: Owners who use their cars infrequently don't need to convert to natural gas. Private cars used for commuting typically travel about 20,000 kilometers per year, but the cost of converting from gasoline to natural gas is relatively high. It takes a long time to recover the cost of the conversion, making it uneconomical for owners who use their cars infrequently. For cars traveling over 30,000 kilometers annually: Cars that travel more than 30,000 kilometers per year are more suitable for conversion to natural gas. However, if the car is already seven or eight years old, a comprehensive inspection and necessary repairs should be done before the conversion. Otherwise, the performance of these cars may decline due to aging components.
