As a new owner of a Brilliance BMW 3 Series, I'd like to share its background. Yes, it's definitely a domestically produced car, as it's jointly manufactured by BMW and China's Brilliance Group in Shenyang. The benefits of local production are obvious: the car price is about 20% cheaper compared to the imported version, and taxes are slightly lower. I've been using this car for commuting for almost half a year now. The chassis has been optimized for domestic road conditions, and it's very stable on highways. In terms of maintenance, parts are easy to find, and the 4S shop service is efficient. BMW uses global unified standards in the factory, and the quality is on par with German originals. I've also compared it with Toyota joint venture cars, and the Brilliance BMW leans more towards a luxury style. Considering these details when buying the car was really worth it—saving budget while being reliable. For daily use, the air conditioning and audio system perform smoothly, with no complaints. I genuinely recommend it to friends with limited budgets. Domestic production doesn't mean losing face; driving it out is still stylish.

What does the vehicle ECO mode mean?

The ECO mode in vehicles refers to the economic driving mode function. ECO is an English abbreviation formed from the words Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The ECO mode is further divided into active ECO driving mode and passive ECO driving mode. When the ECO indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economic mode is activated. ECO mode is categorized into active and passive types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to enable it. When the driver presses the ECO mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The passive ECO mode does not have a dedicated button. When the dashboard ECO indicator light turns on, it serves merely as a reminder function. ECO automatically evaluates your driving behavior, and if your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the ECO indicator light. Most vehicles employ the active ECO driving mode, meaning they have a dedicated switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, the ECO mode can generally be enabled. However, it is unnecessary to activate ECO mode when driving at speeds exceeding 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode—especially when climbing hills. Doing so would fail to demonstrate the fuel-saving characteristics of ECO mode and could even affect the vehicle's power. Additionally, the ECO mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, the system prioritizes speed, causing the ECO mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking or when in N/P gear or manual mode, the ECO mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the ECO mode will not function in such scenarios.

Will the probation period of a driver's license be extended by one year if six points are deducted during the probation period?

C-class driver's license probation period will not be extended by one year if six points are deducted, but accumulating 12 points during the probation period will result in the cancellation of the probationary driving license type. For drivers holding A or B-class licenses, if they accumulate more than six points but fewer than 12 points during the one-year probation period, the probation period will be extended by one year. If they again accumulate more than six points but fewer than 12 points during the extended probation period, their probationary driving license type qualification will be revoked. The full name of a driver's license is a motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a 'driving license,' which is a certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills, and lacking such skills may lead to traffic accidents if driving is done recklessly. Generally, individuals without a license are not permitted to drive on the road.

What is ECO Mode?

ECO is the economic driving mode of a car, also known as the economy mode. When the vehicle frequently operates in congested urban road conditions, activating the ECO mode can significantly improve fuel efficiency. Under ECO mode, the amount of carbon deposits in the engine is roughly the same as that produced under normal operating conditions. The main principle of ECO mode is not complicated. It involves a comprehensive judgment and analysis of factors that affect fuel consumption during vehicle movement, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel quantity to supply the engine, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving mode. Simply put, it controls the engine speed with appropriate gear shifts to minimize unnecessary fuel consumption. ECO is an abbreviation, with the Chinese translations being Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). ECO mode is further divided into active ECO driving mode and passive ECO driving mode. When the ECO indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it means the vehicle's economy mode has been activated. ECO mode is categorized into active and passive types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to enable it. When the driver presses the ECO mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power.

However, it is unnecessary to activate ECO mode when the speed exceeds 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode—especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not only fail to demonstrate the fuel-saving characteristics of ECO mode but also negatively impact power output. Additionally, ECO mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the system prioritizes speed, causing the ECO mode to deactivate automatically. During idle parking or when in N/P gear or manual mode, ECO mode may also become ineffective.
