Not all versions of the new BMW 3 Series, whether long or short wheelbase, are domestically produced. Currently, only the long wheelbase version is produced domestically. The standard wheelbase version is only available through imports. The main differences between the long wheelbase and standard wheelbase versions lie in the increased body wheelbase, longer body, more spacious interior for enhanced comfort, and better driving stability. The BMW 3 Series long wheelbase is domestically produced and has been lengthened to suit the Chinese market, while the standard wheelbase is imported, offering less space but with no significant technical differences. Below are the relevant details: 1. In terms of appearance, the new car's design remains unchanged. However, the overseas new 4 Series' 18-inch 848M wheels will be equipped on the 325i M Sport Package model, while other M Night Shadow models offer them as optional. The interior also comes standard with Volcano Red Sensatec leather upholstery across the lineup. 2. In terms of configuration, the new car comes standard with cruise control and a rearview camera with parking assistance. Keyless entry is standard on all models except the 320i/Li.

What documents are needed for vehicle inspection?

Vehicle inspection requires the following documents: Vehicle License: One of the documents needed for personal vehicle inspection is the vehicle's license. The vehicle license serves as the vehicle's identification document, proving its identity wherever it goes. Therefore, the vehicle license must be brought for inspection. Compulsory Insurance Policy: The second document needed for personal vehicle inspection is the vehicle's compulsory insurance policy. Before inspection, the vehicle's compulsory insurance must be paid. Without paying the compulsory insurance, the vehicle cannot be inspected. Therefore, the original copy of the compulsory insurance policy must be brought for inspection. Owner's ID Card: The third document needed for personal vehicle inspection is the owner's identification document. Generally, an ID card or a social security card with a photo can prove identity. However, nowadays, the original copy of the owner's ID card is usually required at the inspection department. Authorization Letter: The fourth document needed when inspecting a vehicle on behalf of a company is the original authorization letter issued by the company with an official seal, specifying which individual is authorized to handle the vehicle inspection matters for the company.

Which is high temperature, hi or lo?

The Hi button represents high temperature, while the Lo button represents low temperature. Hi and Lo are commonly found on many buttons. When using car seat heating buttons, please note the following: The seat heating function only works when the ignition switch is turned on. To protect the heating elements of the seat heater, avoid kneeling on the seat or applying point loads to the seat surface and backrest. If the vehicle voltage drops, the seat heating will automatically turn off to ensure sufficient power supply for the engine control system. Always turn off the seat heater after parking to prevent excessive electrical load during the next startup. Avoid adding overly thick seat cushions on heated seats to prevent abnormal overheating, which may lead to malfunctions. When using the car air conditioner, Hi means maximum fan speed, while Lo means minimum fan speed. The following precautions should also be observed when using the car air conditioner: Turn off the air conditioner during startup and rapid acceleration. Since the air conditioner switch (non-independent) consumes some engine power, it is best to turn off the A/C switch when starting the vehicle and accelerating quickly, then turn it back on after the vehicle is in motion. This prevents insufficient engine power during acceleration and startup while saving fuel. Do not set the temperature too low. In summer, setting the temperature too low can create a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, easily causing the driver to catch a cold. Excessively low temperatures may also increase the risk of arthritis for passengers. Normally, the temperature inside the car should be 5°C to 6°C different from the outside temperature. Control the direction of the air vents. Based on the principle that cold air sinks and warm air rises, adjust the air vents upward when the air conditioner is on and downward when the heater is on. Do not turn on the air conditioner immediately after exposure to sunlight. After the car has been exposed to sunlight, the interior temperature is usually very high. In such cases, do not turn on the air conditioner immediately. Instead, open the windows for ventilation first, then turn on the air conditioner after the hot air has dissipated. Turn off the air conditioner before turning off the engine. The reason for turning off the air conditioner first is to raise the temperature inside the air conditioning pipes, eliminating the temperature difference with the outside. This helps keep the air conditioning system relatively dry. If the air conditioner is not turned off first, humidity can cause mold to grow in the air conditioning ducts. Additionally, starting the engine with the air conditioner still pressurized the next day can damage the engine. Therefore, always turn off the air conditioner before reaching your destination.

What is the Difference Between Diesel Fuel Grades?

Different grades of diesel fuel primarily differ in their solidification temperatures under low-temperature conditions. The selection of different diesel grades should mainly be based on the ambient temperature during use. Definition of Diesel: Diesel is the fuel for diesel engines in vehicles such as diesel cars and tractors, also known as light diesel. Similar to gasoline for vehicles, diesel also comes in different grades. However, while gasoline grades are determined by octane ratings, diesel grades are classified based on their solidification points. Light Diesel Solidification Point Grades: #5 diesel, #0 diesel, #-10 diesel, #-20 diesel, #-35 diesel, and #-50 diesel. The selection of different diesel grades should mainly be based on the ambient temperature during use.

Why Should Front Tire Pressure Be Higher Than Rear Tires?

Front tire pressure should be higher than rear tires because the front wheels are both driving wheels and steering wheels, requiring better tire adhesion. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: The tires become too soft, increasing the friction coefficient between the tires and the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption. The part of the tire in contact with the ground undergoes significant deformation, which over time can cause fatigue in the tire rubber and internal cords, affecting tire lifespan. It may also result in heavy steering, abnormal pulling, and other factors detrimental to driving safety. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Steering wheel vibration and pulling, reduced ride comfort, decreased tire friction and adhesion, impaired braking effectiveness, accelerated wear of the central tread pattern, and shortened tire lifespan.
