Increased engine noise is related to engine oil. Improper use of engine oil, such as using a viscosity that does not match the engine, can easily lead to carbon buildup, resulting in louder engine noise. Solution: Use the oil grade specified in the vehicle manual and avoid mixing different brands of engine oil. Generally, loud engine noise is caused by carbon buildup. Here are several specific reasons for increased engine noise: 1. Aging or loosening of engine mounts. Engine mounts are rubber blocks between the engine and the frame. Solution: Tighten or replace the engine mounts. 2. Improper use of engine oil. Using oil with a viscosity that does not match the engine can easily cause carbon buildup, leading to louder engine noise. Solution: Use the oil grade specified in the vehicle manual and avoid mixing different brands of engine oil. 3. Engine misfire. An engine misfire occurs when one or more cylinders are not functioning properly. Solution: Check the condition of each ignition coil and spark plug in the cylinders.

Where is the spare tire placed in a BMW?

BMW vehicles are not equipped with spare tires, except for a very few models that have spare tires placed under the floor of the trunk. Most BMWs do not come with spare tires because they use run-flat tires. The advantage of these tires is that even if the tire completely loses air pressure, the sidewall can still support the vehicle's weight, allowing the car to travel over 200 kilometers at a speed of 80 km/h. Types of car spare tires include: Full-size spare tire: The specifications of a full-size spare tire are exactly the same as the other four tires on the vehicle, and it can be used to replace a temporarily or permanently unusable tire. Non-full-size spare tire: This can only be used as a temporary replacement and should only be used on non-driving wheels. The maximum speed should not exceed 80 km/h. Zero-pressure tire: Also known as a safety tire, commonly referred to as a run-flat tire.
