The imported BMW 1 Series is rear-wheel drive, featuring a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The BMW 1 Series is a compact luxury car with dimensions of 4239mm in length, 1748mm in width, and 1421mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2660mm. Exterior-wise, the BMW 1 Series adopts BMW's new family design language, featuring a classic M-inspired three-section aerodynamic front bumper paired with a honeycomb grille. On the side profile, the M badge on the front fender highlights its sporty and exclusive identity, while a prominent character line starts from the front, runs through the door handles, and extends to the rear. The rear features a gray lower bumper with a rear diffuser and dual exhaust outlets. The BMW 1 Series comes standard with an 8.8-inch high-definition touchscreen display and the sixth-generation iDrive human-machine interface system.

Speaking of whether the imported BMW 1 Series is rear-wheel drive, I've actually researched it! The older imported 1 Series models, such as the two-door or hatchback versions before 2017, were indeed all rear-wheel drive. They felt particularly agile to drive, with the rear end following through corners, offering a pure driving pleasure. However, after the 2019 redesign, the new imported 1 Series switched to front-wheel drive, using BMW's UKL platform. While the space became larger, the classic handling feel was somewhat lost. This change was made to adapt to the market and attract more family-oriented users, as front-wheel drive is more fuel-efficient and easier to control. Currently, the top-end imported versions might come with the xDrive all-wheel-drive system. It's advisable to check the specific year and configuration before buying—don’t just rely on the brand label. Overall, long-time BMW fans might miss the rear-wheel-drive era, while the newer models focus on practicality. I have to say, the drivetrain makes a huge difference—when choosing a car, think carefully about whether you prioritize sportiness or practicality.

What does engine emission fault mean?

An engine emission control system fault indicates that there is an issue with components in the vehicle's engine. Here are detailed explanations: 1. The engine warning light illuminates to alert the owner to check the engine components. The engine emission system fault light, commonly referred to as the engine check light, will turn on the indicator on the dashboard when the ECU detects and reads a fault code. 2. When the engine fault indicator light is on, the car can still be driven, but it is best to promptly visit the nearest repair shop to have technicians inspect the engine and related components, identify the faulty part, and carry out repairs. 3. Alternatively, the owner can repeatedly start and turn off the car three times in a row; then disconnect the negative terminal of the car battery, wait for 30 seconds, and reconnect it to check if it is a false engine fault issue. 4. The causes of engine exhaust system faults could be poor-quality gasoline leading to catalytic converter poisoning, or a damaged oxygen sensor in the catalytic system. This can result in reduced driving power, increased fuel consumption, and more severe exhaust pollution. Therefore, it is advisable for the owner to seek repairs as soon as an engine fault occurs.

How to reset the tire pressure light on the 2020 Mitsubishi ASX?

Method to reset the tire pressure light on the 2020 Mitsubishi ASX: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button. After hearing a "ding" sound, release the button. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Precautions for inflating tires: Always use a pressure gauge to check the pressure to avoid over-inflation, which could cause the tire to burst. After stopping the vehicle, wait for the tires to cool down before inflating, as the tire temperature rises during driving, affecting the pressure. Check the valve stem. If the valve stem and valve core do not fit smoothly, have protrusions, depressions, or other defects, it will be difficult to inflate and measure the pressure. Pay attention to cleanliness when inflating. The air being pumped in should not contain moisture or oil, as this can deteriorate and damage the inner tube rubber. Do not exceed the standard pressure excessively and then deflate, nor should you over-inflate due to prolonged inability to inflate while traveling. Exceeding the standard pressure too much can cause the cords to overstretch, reducing their strength and affecting the tire's lifespan.

Is there a charge for car inspection at a 4S dealership when there's an issue?

Generally, inspections during the warranty period are free of charge; if the car is out of warranty, a fee will apply. Here are the details: 1. For out-of-warranty vehicles inspected at a 4S dealership, it depends on the situation. If it's just a visual inspection or listening to the vehicle's sounds, there's usually no charge, as it's a simple task. 2. However, if equipment is required or parts need to be replaced, there will be an inspection fee. Many 4S dealership technicians use computer diagnostics to read the system when inspecting a vehicle. Once a fault code is identified, the technician can quickly determine the location and cause of the issue. Typically, this method incurs a corresponding inspection fee.

What does the D gear in a car mean?

D gear in a car is the drive gear, also known as the forward gear, and is the most commonly used gear. During normal driving, the gear selector is placed in the D position, allowing the automatic transmission to shift automatically between gears based on the throttle input. The D gear is located in the middle-rear section of the gear shift console, behind the N gear, and is designed to enable the car to automatically select the appropriate gear while moving forward. The primary function of the D gear is to allow the transmission's computer and associated mechanical components to automatically choose the optimal gear in real-time while the vehicle is moving forward, eliminating the need for manual gear shifting. This greatly reduces the driver's workload, enhancing driving convenience, ease, and comfort.

Is it still advisable to buy a used car with 100,000 kilometers on it?

Judging solely by the mileage, 100,000 kilometers is not much compared to the 600,000-kilometer scrapping threshold, so this used car can still be considered for purchase. However, other factors should also be taken into account, such as whether the chassis and frame are deformed, whether the car's performance has been compromised, and the overall condition of the exterior. Below are some key considerations when buying a used car: Check the exterior: Some used cars have been in accidents, and to increase their resale value, dealers may refurbish them, repaint the body, and make them look newer. Therefore, when inspecting the car, pay attention to signs of repainting in various corners and parts, as well as wear and tear on the tires, headlights, and bumpers. Inspect the chassis and frame: After a car has been in an accident, even if the exterior is perfectly restored, the frame and chassis are often difficult to repair. If you notice any deformation or bending, be cautious as it may indicate the car was involved in a serious accident. In such cases, think carefully before purchasing. Evaluate the car's performance: When selecting a used car, tap the body to listen for any unusual sounds. Also, start the engine and listen for abnormal noises. If you hear anything out of the ordinary, proceed with caution.
