Forward gear is D, where D stands for Drive. Below are the details about the forward gear: Forward Gear: D (Drive) is the forward gear, also known as the driving gear. In this gear, the transmission automatically shifts between 1-overdrive (equivalent to 1-4 gears) based on speed and throttle conditions. This gear is used for normal road driving. Other Gears: P stands for Parking gear, used when parking (when the engine is off); R stands for Reverse gear; N stands for Neutral, which is the same as the neutral in manual transmissions and is used for brief stops; S stands for Sport mode, where the transmission can shift freely; L stands for Low gear, where the transmission stays in 1st gear without shifting up; OD stands for Overdrive, used for high-speed driving.

In my years of driving experience, the D gear is definitely the forward gear. On an automatic transmission, the letter D stands for Drive, meaning to propel the vehicle forward, while R stands for Reverse, which is the reverse gear. Every time I start the car, I habitually press the brake to engage the P gear for parking, then switch to the D gear to start, and the car moves forward smoothly. If I accidentally engage the R gear, the car will move backward, which can easily cause bumps or accidents. It is recommended that beginners confirm the gear position when operating. The automatic transmission is designed for convenient driving, but the basic rules must be remembered. Regular maintenance of the transmission can extend its service life and avoid problems caused by mis-shifting.

What are the reasons why a BMW suddenly does not accelerate when the throttle is pressed?

The reasons why a BMW suddenly does not accelerate when the throttle is pressed: 1. Use of inferior gasoline: The inferior fuel-water separator cannot effectively separate diesel and water. After disassembling the fuel pump, the pump inlet is almost completely blocked by a large amount of impurities, making it difficult for the fuel pump to ensure normal fuel supply to the engine during normal vehicle operation. 2. Intake system blockage: If there is a leak or blockage in the intake system, the car will experience reduced power, inability to increase speed, and body shaking when the throttle is pressed. 3. Fuel injector failure: For example, poor atomization due to injector blockage or injector damage. 4. Problems with the ignition system: Common issues include faulty spark plugs or ignition coils.
