As a BMW owner, I believe that servicing at 12,000 kilometers is completely fine. My experience is that BMW generally recommends a maintenance interval between 12,000 to 15,000 kilometers, depending on the model and usage. Every time I reach this mileage, I get the engine oil, air filter, and brake system checked. Last year, I delayed the service until 14,000 kilometers, and as a result, the engine noise increased, and I had to spend extra money on cleaning. I recommend booking an appointment in advance, either at a 4S dealership or a trusted repair shop, as they can professionally diagnose the car's condition. Also, pay attention to driving habits, such as reducing sudden acceleration, to minimize wear and tear on parts. Remember, proper maintenance can extend the car's lifespan and reduce the risk of breakdowns. Over the years, I've saved myself a lot of hassle by keeping up with maintenance.

Unable to Open Car Door from Inside or Outside?

Door cannot be opened from inside or outside due to a malfunction in the lock mechanism. Below are the reasons and solutions for the door not opening: 1. Misalignment. Solution: Apply forceful impacts by pushing against the door with your body from inside or outside the car, or have someone assist by pulling the door from outside while another person pushes from inside. 2. Lock mechanism failure. Solution: Remove the door panel from inside the car, though this is challenging since the door won't open and may result in broken clips. After removing the trim panel and sound insulation layer, you'll have better access to the lock mechanism. Try pulling the cable manually to see if it moves. If not, use a hammer and chisel or a drill to disassemble the lock mechanism.

Is driving with an expired license considered unlicensed driving?

Driving with an expired license is not considered unlicensed driving, but if it's overdue by even one day, it counts as unlicensed driving. There are two scenarios for an expired driver's license: one is when the validity period expires. If it's within one year, the validity can be restored through a review process and the license can continue to be used. If it exceeds one year, the driver needs to retake the exams to obtain a new license. The other scenario is when only the review period has passed, which requires different handling. The full name of a driver's license is 'Motor Vehicle Driving License,' also simply called a driver's license. It is a legally required document that motor vehicle drivers must apply for. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, if someone drives a motor vehicle arbitrarily, it could lead to traffic accidents. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license.

How Should Your Feet Be Positioned When Driving an Automatic Car?

When driving an automatic car, your left foot should be placed on the left side, while your right foot controls the accelerator and brake. Never use your left foot for braking and your right foot for accelerating, as this can easily lead to operational errors in emergencies or under stress, resulting in danger. Automatic cars only have a brake pedal and an accelerator pedal, both controlled by the right foot. The left foot remains idle and does not participate in driving; it can rest naturally on the vehicle floor or the left-side footrest. Before starting the car, ensure the gear lever is in the P (Park) or N (Neutral) position. When starting, remember to brake, control the handbrake and accelerator with both hands, shift to D (Drive) gear, release the handbrake while slowly lifting the brake, and then gently press the accelerator to allow the car to start smoothly.
