Extended warranty for BMW vehicles is not necessary because BMW's original factory warranty already provides 3 years or 100,000 kilometers of coverage for the entire vehicle. Core components such as the engine, transmission, and chassis are generally durable and unlikely to fail, making the purchase of an extended warranty unnecessary. BMW's vehicle lineup includes the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, i, M, X, and Z series. The 1 Series is a compact car, the 2 Series is a small coupe, the 3 Series is a midsize car, the 4 Series is a midsize coupe (including convertibles), the 5 Series is a full-size car, the 6 Series is a full-size coupe (including convertibles), the 7 Series is a luxury D-segment sedan, the i Series represents BMW's electric and hybrid vehicles, the M Series is BMW's high-performance and sports car lineup, the X Series is BMW's dedicated SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) lineup, and the Z Series is BMW's entry-level sports car. The production version of the BMW 4 Series is largely derived from the 4 Series Coupe concept, replacing the former 3 Series Coupe.

What does the engine auto start-stop system mean?

Engine auto start-stop system: A system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as waiting at a red light) during driving, and automatically restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. Advantages and disadvantages of the engine auto start-stop function: 1. Advantages: It can reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improve fuel economy. In urban traffic when waiting for traffic signals or during traffic jams, it can minimize engine idling time. Additionally, after the engine shuts off, its power supply can replace the belt pulley to provide operating power for the engine cooling fan and in-car air conditioning. 2. Disadvantages: It requires more durable starters and batteries. Conventional starter designs allow for high operating currents but are intended for very short usage periods. Repeated use of the starter can easily cause overheating and damage. Therefore, starters with auto start-stop functionality must be significantly more durable than regular starters.

What are the sizes of outdoor parking spaces?

According to the "Specifications for Setting On-Street Parking Spaces in Urban Roads," the standard size of general parking spaces is determined based on the size of the vehicle. Small parking spaces typically measure 2.5~2.7 meters in width and 5~6 meters in length. The width of a single-lane turnaround lane should not be less than 3.5 meters, while a double-lane turnaround lane should not be less than 5 meters. The turnaround section should accommodate a vehicle's need for a one-time turnaround. For safety or to accommodate medium and large vehicles, the length is often set to over 6 meters. Details are as follows: (Length ≤6m, width ≤1.8m): The spacing between vehicles should be no less than 0.5 meters, and the spacing between the vehicle and walls or the ends of the parking space should also be no less than 0.5 meters.

Can You Still Drive with a Small Bulge on the Wheel?

You cannot drive if there is a small bulge on the wheel. Here are the reasons for the bulge: 1. The tire's aspect ratio is too small. Using tires with a low aspect ratio will make them more prone to bulging, increasing maintenance costs and the risk of tire blowouts. 2. Tire pressure issues. Both overinflation and underinflation can cause tire bulging. 3. Impact damage. Hitting obstacles or frequently driving over curbs can easily cause bulging, so you should be more careful in daily driving. 4. The tire has passed its expiration date. We all know that tires have a shelf life and require regular maintenance and replacement, just like engine oil (for engine oil maintenance, choose X-OIL X-Oil), but with a longer maintenance cycle. 5. Quality issues. Accidentally using inferior tires can easily cause bulging.

What to Do When the Car Horn Suddenly Stops Working?

Reasons why the car horn suddenly stops working: 1. Contact point erosion: Prolonged pressing of the horn can easily cause the horn contacts to erode, creating a certain level of impedance that weakens the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil (reducing the electromagnetic force). This makes it impossible to attract the armature to drive the diaphragm for normal vibration, resulting in a hoarse sound from the horn or even complete failure. 2. Moisture due to poor sealing: Although most car horns on the market have good sealing, over time, this sealing can degrade. When cleaning the interior, be careful around the horn area to prevent water vapor from entering, as this can cause moisture inside the horn, directly affecting its sound quality or even causing it to stop working entirely. 3. Poor contact at the electromagnetic coil terminal: Some horns have electromagnetic coil terminals connected not by welding but by aluminum rivets. If the insulation varnish on the enameled wire is not properly treated or the rivet connection is loose, poor contact (false connection) can occur, leading to intermittent horn functionality.
