Repairing scratches on the front bumper is necessary if they affect the vehicle's appearance; otherwise, it may not be needed. The bumper is a plastic component, and scratches can damage the paint, exposing the black plastic underneath, which indeed affects the car's aesthetics. If the bumper is scratched, it's advisable to have it repainted at a 4S shop. The primary function of the bumper is to protect pedestrians. As vulnerable road users, plastic bumpers help mitigate the impact on a pedestrian's legs, especially the lower legs, and, combined with the bumper's design, reduce the severity of injuries in case of a collision. Additionally, bumpers serve as safety devices that absorb and lessen external impacts, protecting the front and rear parts of the vehicle.

What's the reason for poor air conditioning cooling in BMW 3 Series?

Poor air conditioning cooling in BMW 3 Series may be caused by refrigerant leakage; reduced heat dissipation capacity of the condenser; blocked air ducts or dirty air conditioning pipelines; prolonged use of external circulation, etc. It is recommended to go to a professional repair shop for inspection and treatment. BMW (Bavarian Motor Works), the full Chinese name is Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, a German luxury car brand. BMW's car series include i, X, Z, and pure number models, with several series such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. The following are the functions of car air conditioning: 1. Temperature adjustment: This is the main function of car air conditioning. In summer, the cooling system produces cold air to cool the cabin; in winter, except for large commercial vehicles that use independent combustion heaters for heating, other vehicles basically use the car's waste heat for heating. 2. Humidity adjustment: Humidity has a great impact on the comfort of passengers in the car. The humidity in the cabin should generally be maintained at 30%-70%. Ordinary car air conditioners do not have the function of adjusting the humidity inside the car, only through the use of ventilation devices or high-end luxury cars equipped with integrated heating and cooling air conditioners. 3. Airflow adjustment: The speed and direction of airflow greatly affect human comfort. If blowing directly, when the temperature is suitable, the speed should be limited to a certain range. The speed can be appropriately changed according to the passenger's living environment, age, health status, and cold and heat habits. 4. Air purification: The air quality in the cabin is an important guarantee of comfort.

Do Cars Need to Display Insurance Stickers Now?

Currently, cars are required to display insurance stickers. After purchasing compulsory insurance for the vehicle, the insurance sticker should be immediately affixed to the right side of the front windshield. Although some regions have implemented electronic tags, they are not yet widely used, so displaying the vehicle insurance sticker is still necessary for road use. If the insurance sticker is lost, it must be reissued by the insurance company where the policy was purchased. You need to bring the vehicle's registration certificate and the compulsory insurance policy. Once reissued, the sticker should be directly affixed to the right side of the windshield. Losing the insurance sticker requires prompt reissuance; otherwise, driving the vehicle is considered illegal and may result in penalties. In case of an accident, the insurance company has the right to deny claims. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, failure to display the insurance sticker may result in a one-point deduction from the driver's license and a fine.
