BMW's water temperature of 120 degrees is abnormal and too high. The optimal operating temperature for a vehicle is around 90 degrees, and the normal operating temperature ranges between 85 and 115 degrees. If the temperature remains above 120 degrees for an extended period, it indicates an abnormal water temperature, and it is advisable to have it checked at a 4S shop. Introduction: The BMW 3 Series is a new generation of sedan products from BMW Group, with a body weight of 1465 kilograms, a straight 4-cylinder gasoline engine, and dimensions of 4.734 meters, 1.811 meters, and 1.455 meters. The BMW 3 Series has once again set new standards for its class in terms of aesthetic design, engineering design, high-tech features, as well as luxury comfort and safety. The pricing of the BMW 3 Series reflects its market positioning as a high-end sports sedan and its premium product attributes. Models: On November 22, 2019, the new BMW 3 Series 320 and 330 models were fully launched!

I've been driving BMWs for so many years, and the normal coolant temperature should be between 90 and 100 degrees Celsius—it should never reach 120 degrees. If you see the temperature gauge showing 120 degrees, that's definitely abnormal. I've encountered similar issues before—it could be due to low coolant levels, a clogged radiator, or a malfunctioning fan. This can cause the engine to overheat, and if you keep driving, it could easily damage the head gasket or pistons, leading to expensive and troublesome repairs. I recommend pulling over immediately to check the coolant level and see if you need to top it up with clean coolant. If the radiator seems fine, the fan system might be the issue—perhaps a loose wire connection or a faulty motor. Regularly changing the coolant and cleaning the radiator's air intake can prevent such problems, especially in summer when you need to pay extra attention to temperature changes. Don’t let a small issue turn into a big one—safety first. If the temperature is abnormal, get it checked at a 4S shop right away.

What Causes Engine Vibration at 1100 RPM?

Engine vibration at 1100 RPM can be caused by the following reasons: Ignition System Issues: Check the spark plugs. If the ceramic part of the spark plug is cracked, also inspect the ignition module for proper functioning. If the spark plugs are excessively carbon-fouled, replace them. Severe Engine Carbon Buildup: The most common cause is a dirty or faulty throttle body, which can lead to idle vibration. The primary reason for a dirty throttle body is carbon buildup at the junction of the throttle valve plate shaft and the throttle body, causing imprecise throttle opening and resulting in idle vibration. Clean the fuel system and inspect the idle air control valve for carbon deposits, ensuring it is thoroughly cleaned. Unstable Fuel Pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon, serviced the throttle body, replaced the gaskets and spark plugs, but still experience body vibration at idle, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and malfunctioning of the intake pressure sensor can both cause body vibration.

Should the car purchase contract be taken back when buying a car on installment?

It is necessary to take back the installment car purchase contract. Vehicle information must be written in detail: Clearly specify the brand of the car, vehicle identification number, engine number, vehicle code (chassis number), and other essential elements of the car itself, especially ensuring both the vehicle code and vehicle identification number are written to prevent the car dealer from switching the vehicle; the main configuration of the vehicle, color (specifically the seat color), manual or automatic transmission, and documents to be delivered with the car, etc. The total transaction price of the vehicle (either the ex-factory price or the on-the-road price), payment method, and deadline should be listed. The names must be consistent: Ensure that the name on the sales party's seal matches the name on the car purchase contract and the invoice. If there is any inconsistency, even in litigation, the consumer will be at a significant disadvantage due to unclear litigation subjects. If purchasing an imported car, due to the multi-level agency form, it is difficult to protect the buyer's rights without clarifying the contract subject.
