BMW 120i is rear-wheel drive, not front-wheel drive. In terms of interior design: This BMW 120i-Coupe-Performance-Unlimited model is equipped with a sports steering wheel and seats from the M-Sport equipment package, aluminum pedals and footrests, and a leather-wrapped gear lever and handbrake lever. In terms of engine: This special edition BMW 120i-Coupe-Performance-Unlimited is powered by a 2.0-liter gasoline engine that delivers a maximum power of 170 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

I recently researched the BMW 120i, and from the perspective of the chassis platform, yes, it is indeed a front-wheel-drive car, especially in the newer generation models in recent years. After BMW transitioned to the FAAR platform, entry-level models like the 120i have adopted front-wheel drive, which improves fuel efficiency and enhances interior space. Compared to BMW's traditional rear-wheel-drive models like the M series, front-wheel drive offers better stability on slippery roads, reducing the likelihood of skidding, making it ideal for city commuting. However, it slightly compromises sportiness, but the 120i comes with a turbocharged engine, ensuring ample power for daily driving. I recommend checking the specific model year, as post-2020 versions are definitely front-wheel drive.

Why Does the Inner Side of the Tire Wear Severely?

Tire inner side severe wear reasons: 1. Incorrect toe adjustment: Toe refers to the slight inward tilt angle of the front wheels, similar to pigeon-toed. All vehicles have their own toe angle, and improper adjustment of this angle can also cause wear; 2. Long-term over-inflation or under-inflation of tires: Both over-inflation and under-inflation can lead to uneven contact between the tire and the ground, resulting in severe tire wear; 3. Inaccurate wheel alignment: If the four tires are not aligned on the standard horizontal and vertical lines, the two wheels on the same side may experience uneven tire wear when driving, or the front or rear wheels may not run straight. The vehicle will self-correct, causing abnormal increase in friction on a certain part of a tire, accelerating wear.

Where is the tire pressure reset button on the Golf?

The tire pressure reset button on the Golf is the SET button located below the left side of the steering wheel. Press and hold it until you hear a sound indicating the reset is complete. If you are sure that your car's tires are not punctured by sharp objects causing air leakage, press and hold the tire pressure reset button for 3 seconds, and the tire pressure warning light will turn off. If there is a leak, go to a tire repair shop immediately. The Volkswagen Golf is a classic compact hatchback family car launched by FAW-Volkswagen in 1974. In terms of active safety, as a compact car equipped with a standard multi-collision brake system, the new Golf effectively prevents secondary collision damage. It is complemented by multiple active safety systems such as lane keeping assist, rear traffic alert, fatigue monitoring system, tire pressure monitoring, and the newly added rearview camera and blind spot monitoring.

What is the difference between fully synthetic and semi-synthetic engine oil for vehicles?

Difference between fully synthetic and semi-synthetic engine oil for vehicles: 1. Different base oils: Fully synthetic oil is a mixture of Group III, IV, and V base oils; semi-synthetic oil uses Group III base oil. 2. Different applicable vehicle conditions: Fully synthetic oil is mostly used under harsh and severe conditions; semi-synthetic oil is mostly used in economical small-displacement vehicles with smooth driving. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is as important as the blood of a car, ensuring the normal operation of the engine. Engine oil has seven major functions in the engine: lubrication, cooling, rust prevention, cleaning, sealing, anti-wear, and shock absorption. Whether the oil level is sufficient and the condition of the oil will directly affect the normal operation of the engine.

What to Do When the Rearview Camera Image is Inverted?

Solution for an inverted rearview camera image: Swap the front camera and the rearview camera. The issue of the rearview camera image being inverted left-to-right occurs when the front-view camera is mistakenly installed at the rear of the car during the installation of the rearview camera, which is the main difference between the front camera and the rearview camera. Additionally, another possible cause is that the vehicle's infotainment system has mirroring enabled. You can shift into reverse gear again, locate the settings button in the navigation device while in rearview camera mode, and check if there is a mirror adjustment or rearview mirroring function. Then, click to adjust the settings and finally turn it off. The rearview camera uses a wide-angle far-infrared camera device installed at the rear of the vehicle, allowing clear visibility of obstacles behind the car through the in-car display. When the reverse gear is engaged, the rearview camera automatically activates the high-definition rearview camera at the rear, displaying the rear situation clearly on the LCD screen, enabling the driver to accurately assess the road conditions behind.

What are the reasons for the Volkswagen CC's reverse camera not displaying?

The reasons why the Volkswagen CC's reverse camera does not display: 1. The host's connector is loose: If the car frequently travels on bumpy roads causing the host's connector to come loose, the camera and screen cannot properly match and connect, and the reverse camera will definitely not display; 2. Camera malfunction: including water ingress, short circuit, or burnt connecting wires; 3. Display screen malfunction; 4. The camera is blocked by foreign objects: When the camera is blocked, the images it captures naturally cannot be displayed properly; 5. The gear is not in reverse: If the car's gear is not in reverse, the reverse camera function will not be activated, so simply shifting the gear into reverse will solve the issue.

How to adjust the air conditioning in the car to cool?

Methods to adjust the car air conditioning for cooling: First, turn on the AC switch, usually located above the temperature button. To lower the temperature, rotate towards the blue side, gradually increase the fan speed from 1 to 3, and try different air blowing modes to find the suitable one. In summer, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car is significant, so it's not advisable to set the air conditioning too low immediately upon entering the car. The AC button controls the compressor; once activated, the compressor starts cooling. The airflow direction and speed can be adjusted, though the operation may vary slightly between different car models. Avoid keeping the air conditioning on low speed for extended periods, as prolonged use at low speed can lead to the accumulation of dust and dirt, which may cause mold growth over time.
