The differences between the imported and domestically produced versions of the BMW 5 Series lie in the body dimensions, wheelbase, and configurations, but they share the same engines: a 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine. The BMW 5 Series is one of the best-selling models of BMW in China. It is a sedan with a longitudinally mounted rear-wheel-drive engine, equipped with a variable valve timing control system and an anti-slip regulation (ASR) system. It features advanced technology, offering superior driving performance and safety. The differences between the imported and domestically produced BMW 5 Series are: Different body dimensions: The imported BMW 5 Series measures 4976mm in length, 1868mm in width, and 1489mm in height, while the domestically produced version measures 5106mm in length, 1868mm in width, and 1500mm in height. The domestically produced model is larger, providing more space. Different wheelbase: The imported BMW 5 Series has a wheelbase of 2975mm, while the domestically produced version has a wheelbase of 3105mm. Both the imported and domestically produced BMW 5 Series are equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 184ps, a maximum power of 135kw, and a maximum torque of 290nm, paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. These engines have maximum outputs of 184hp, 252hp, and 340hp, with maximum torques of 250N.M, 350N.M, and 450N.M, respectively. They are matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission, achieving a fuel consumption of 6.5L to 7.2L per 100km and top speeds of 235km/h, 250km/h, and 250km/h. Different configurations: The domestically produced BMW 5 Series includes additional features such as car networking, adaptive high beams, and steering wheel memory, while the imported version offers more exterior and interior color options. The imported BMW 5 Series also features auto-dimming rearview mirrors and sport-style leather seats, whereas the domestically produced version includes electric steering wheel adjustment, steering wheel memory, car networking, adaptive high and low beams, and cornering lights.

How to Choose Between A6 and Q5?

Audi A6's front fascia is more impactful, with this generation emphasizing a sportier style, blending elements of sportiness and elegance into its composed appearance. Audi Q5's angular front-end design adopts the Q7's design language, incorporating chrome accents for a more robust and streamlined look. Audi A6's full LCD instrument cluster and large central display screen exude a sense of technological sophistication and luxurious fashion. Audi A6 is equipped with high and low power versions of a 2.0T engine, delivering stable performance on highways and during turns, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Since Audi Q5 replaced its 8AT with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, like many vehicles today, it still offers a remarkably smooth driving experience.

How to Fix the AFS OFF Light?

AFS OFF light indicates that the headlight's adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) is turned off. Re-enable the AFS function. Check the AFS module, use a diagnostic scanner to match settings and clear fault codes to resolve the AFS warning light. AFS stands for Adaptive Front-lighting System. If the indicator light stays on, it means this function is currently disabled. Ensure the vehicle's power is off, then open the hood and locate the negative terminal of the battery.

What is the procedure for handling a full 12-point deduction on a driver's license?

The procedure for handling a full 12-point deduction on a driver's license is to participate in a 7-day traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge training within 15 days, followed by a relevant examination. Upon passing the exam, the points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. Process for handling vehicle violation point deductions: Bring your ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate to the violation processing office. Take the penalty decision notice to the designated bank to pay the fine (once the penalty decision notice is printed, the fine must be paid within 15 days. After 15 days, a 3% late fee will be charged daily, with the total late fee not exceeding the total fine amount). After paying the fine and obtaining the receipt, keep the receipt properly. Check the violation information online a few days later. If the violation information disappears, the receipt can be discarded. However, if the violation information remains online, take the payment receipt to the legal department of the traffic police team to explain the situation. After confirmation by the staff, the violation information will be directly deleted.

What Causes the Rear of the Car to Cross the Line During Parallel Parking?

The reason the rear of the car crosses the line during parallel parking is either starting to park too early or being too far from the line. You can drive forward a little more before stopping to ensure the car body is slightly closer to the parking space line. When parking, try to stay slightly to the right, which makes it easier to reverse into the parking space, while also paying attention to the distance between the front and rear. More details are as follows: 1. Definition of Parallel Parking: Parallel parking is part of the second subject in the driver's license test. It is increasingly common in urban areas, especially as parking spaces in formal lots become more limited. Many places now designate parking spaces along the sides of streets, creating "parallel parking spaces." 2. Changes: In the past, parallel parking used four poles placed on the ground to symbolize the four corners of the parking space. One criterion for successful parking was whether the vehicle entered the space without touching these poles. After the new traffic regulations were implemented, parallel parking no longer uses poles; instead, ground markings define the boundaries of the parking space. For students learning to drive with a C1 license, the length of the parallel parking space is 1.5 times the vehicle's length plus 1 meter. The vehicle must be driven parallel to the parking space, then reversed into the space in one continuous motion without stopping. As long as the car is parked within the boundaries without crossing the lines, it is considered a pass.

What Causes Low-Speed Jerking?

Transmission jerking is the impact sensation caused by the inertia of moving parts inside the engine. Below are the reasons for engine jerking: 1. Causes of engine jerking: During the process where the engine speed is either increased or decreased, if not handled properly, sudden changes in engine speed during gear shifts can cause the inertia of the engine's moving parts to react against the vehicle body. 2. Low-speed jerking: Many drivers experience this issue. When driving at low speeds, the gear frequently shifts between first and second, and the clutch repeatedly engages and disengages. If power transmission cannot be smoothly completed within a short time, common low-speed jerking occurs. Jerking sensations are normal during startup and low-speed driving, usually due to turbocharger engagement at low RPMs, which affects engine speed. 3. Upshift jerking: This is mostly caused by the transmission's response speed being insufficiently fast. The upshift speed cannot keep up with the throttle input, so the jerking sensation occurs at the moment of gear shift. 4. Downshift jerking: This is mostly due to the intervention of the energy recovery system. Once the driver releases the throttle pedal or presses the brake pedal, the generator immediately starts working, placing additional load on the engine. This affects the engine speed, causing it to be out of sync with the clutch plate speed, resulting in a jerking sensation.

Where is the best position for the reversing mirror?

Generally, it is attached to the outer side of the rearview mirror. Due to its small size, the small circular mirror hardly affects the field of view of the rearview mirror. Below are the functions of the reversing mirror: 1. Ensuring driving safety: The rearview mirror is an ideal auxiliary product for ensuring driving safety, expanding the driver's perspective, and facilitating overtaking and lane changes. 2. Reversing aid: The small circular mirror is also an ideal reversing aid, usually installed on the outer side of the left and right rearview mirrors. 3. Viewing the side of the vehicle: When the small circular mirror is installed on the rearview mirror, the driver can see the condition of the vehicle's side and the rear wheels, thus maximizing the use of the small circular rearview mirror.
