If you live in an area with frequent rainfall, then installing window rain deflectors is necessary. The functions of window rain deflectors: Since most car windows are not vertical, opening the window on rainy days can cause rainwater to enter the car. The width of rain deflectors is 2-3 cm. As long as the window glass is not lowered beyond the width of the deflector, it not only allows fresh air to flow in and expel stale air from the car but also helps to lower the interior temperature to some extent. The drawbacks of window rain deflectors: After installing window rain deflectors, an 8 cm visual blind spot can occur at the A-pillar when turning, and deflectors with poor light transmission can increase the A-pillar blind spot. Additionally, at high speeds, rain deflectors can increase wind noise.

Why Develop New Energy Vehicles?

Here are the reasons for developing new energy vehicles: 1. From the perspective of national energy strategy: China is currently the largest oil-importing country, with imported oil accounting for 73.5% of total oil consumption in 2020, indicating a high dependence on non-renewable resources like oil and natural gas. Having a country's strategic and livelihood resources controlled by other nations is not secure. The development of new energy vehicles can reduce dependence on oil imports. 2. From the perspective of environmental protection and ecological sustainability: Traditional vehicles emit large amounts of carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, and harmful particulate matter, polluting air quality and affecting human health. New energy vehicles produce almost zero emissions, do not contribute to the urban heat island effect when used in cities, and help reduce the rise in PM2.5 levels. On a broader scale, they also help reduce pollution to the global environment. 3. From the perspective of industrial development and international competition: China started late in the development of traditional vehicles. Although fuel vehicle technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, there are still gaps in some key technologies and core products, with many patents acting as barriers. Traditional automotive brands have a deep-rooted effect, with several established foreign brands occupying a large market share. Developing new energy electric vehicles can break through technological barriers and enable brands to overtake competitors. 4. From the perspective of future technological revolution and development: With the advancement of 5G technology and artificial intelligence, the automotive industry is set to undergo significant technological reforms and upgrades. As a representative product of the manufacturing industry, vehicles will see the rise of autonomous driving, vehicle-to-human connectivity, artificial intelligence, and big data, which will become the main battleground of the next industrial revolution. New energy electric vehicles serve as the best carriers for these technologies.

How many kilometers for the first maintenance of BMW 325li?

BMW 325li's first maintenance is at 10,000 kilometers or 12 months, with a maintenance interval of 10,000 kilometers or 1 year. The first maintenance is free. All BMW models have a maintenance cycle of 10,000 kilometers. Engine oil and oil filters are replaced at every maintenance; air filters, cabin air filters, and fuel filters are recommended to be replaced every 20,000 kilometers; spark plugs are recommended to be replaced every 50,000 kilometers; and brake fluid should be replaced every two years. Below is more information about the BMW 325li: 1. Interior: The changes in the new 3 Series interior are limited to details. The dashboard still features a two-tone design, and the layout of all equipment remains unchanged, with only some switches and buttons adorned with chrome trim. The armrests on the door panels have been ergonomically optimized. The electric window switches and mirror adjustment controls have been moved two centimeters closer to the driver's seat, making them more convenient to use. 2. Engine: The new 325i continues to use BMW's most classic inline 6-cylinder engine, with improved response speed and power output. It delivers a maximum power of 160 kW (218 hp) and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, featuring Valvetronic variable valve technology. The power starts to surge from around 2,500 rpm and continues up to approximately 6,000 rpm. Acceleration performance has been tested, achieving 0-100km/h in under 8 seconds. During full-throttle acceleration, the engine sound inside the car is exhilarating.

What suspension does the Lamando use?

Volkswagen Lamando uses a MacPherson independent suspension for the front and a multi-link independent suspension for the rear. Here are the relevant details: 1. Common independent suspensions in cars include MacPherson suspension, double-wishbone suspension, double-joint suspension, double-wishbone suspension, and multi-link suspension. The MacPherson suspension is the simplest in structure, the lowest in cost, and the most widely used independent suspension. The MacPherson suspension has only one L-shaped control arm, which hardly occupies any space in the engine compartment. 2. Most cars use MacPherson suspension for the front, and some cars also use MacPherson suspension for the rear, such as the Porsche 718. The multi-link suspension is an improvement based on the double-wishbone suspension, replacing the two wishbones of the double-wishbone suspension with separate links. 3. The multi-link suspension can improve the wheel's ground contact performance, thereby enhancing the wheel's grip. With improved grip, the car's handling also improves.

What is the minimum oil level for a car?

The oil dipstick has two marking lines at its front end, and the oil level should not fall below the lower marking line. Insufficient oil can lead to cylinder scoring, poor lubrication, and increased component wear, while excessive oil can increase operational resistance. Additional information: 1. Excessive oil increases the operational resistance of the car, leading to adverse effects such as sluggish performance, muffled operation, and increased noise. 2. Excessive oil is more prone to temperature rise during operation, making it deteriorate faster and reducing its protective performance. 3. Excessive oil can create bubbles during component operation, which, when entering the lubrication or hydraulic systems, can increase wear and reduce performance. 4. During engine operation, the crankshaft and connecting rod ends generate intense agitation, not only increasing internal power loss but also causing more oil to splash onto the cylinder walls, leading to oil burning and exhaust faults.
