The differences between the BMW 320 long wheelbase and short wheelbase can generally be divided into two points. Below is a detailed introduction to the differences between the BMW 320 long wheelbase and short wheelbase: 1. Rear badge and exhaust differ: The long wheelbase version features the Brilliance BMW and 320Li logos on the rear. The short wheelbase version only has the 320i badge. The short wheelbase's exhaust and rear bumper trim share the same black piano lacquer finish. The long wheelbase version also has a similar design but uses a metal chrome finish. 2. Interior trim and functions differ: The short wheelbase version features a red interior trim strip that runs across the entire dashboard, matching the color of the short wheelbase key. The long wheelbase version adopts a traditional metal chrome design. The arrangement of function buttons is roughly the same for both models, but in terms of functionality, the long wheelbase is slightly inferior to the BMW short wheelbase 3 Series.

Where to Get Power for Installing Air Conditioning in a Heavy Truck?

To install air conditioning in a heavy truck, an additional generator can be installed, and an inverter can be used to convert DC power into AC power, thereby supplying electricity to the air conditioning unit. Methods for modifying truck air conditioning: Install a household air conditioning indoor unit on the top of the cab sleeper and an outdoor unit behind the cab. Place the generator in the trailer toolbox, using gasoline or diesel as fuel. The drawbacks include high noise levels, susceptibility to malfunctions, and potential penalties for illegal modifications. Overhead electric air conditioning modification: This method utilizes the sunroof space, integrating the compressor, radiator, and air outlets into a highly compact unit. This is a relatively mature modification method and is not subject to inspection for illegal modifications. It maximizes the use of the original air conditioning system, requires minimal modification work, eliminates the need for a separate indoor unit in the cab, thus preserving cab space. It uses the air vents on the central console for more uniform cooling, avoids the need for a separate outdoor unit, and is not subject to inspection for illegal modifications. It can be applied to light trucks, medium trucks, heavy trucks, and tractors.

Can You Still Drive a Shaking Car?

Car shaking is caused by certain component failures, but whether you can continue driving depends on the actual reason for the shaking. Below are some shaking faults that make it unsafe to continue driving: Engine Misfire Shaking: A misfire occurs when one or more cylinders in the engine fail to work properly, resulting in noticeable shaking and noise. There are many causes for engine misfires, with the most common being faults in the ignition or fuel system. A misfire reduces engine power and increases fuel consumption. For a four-cylinder engine, driving with one misfiring cylinder may still be possible, but with two misfiring cylinders, the engine will shake severely and may even stall. Severe Wheel Imbalance Shaking: All car tires undergo dynamic balancing before assembly, but continuous daily use leads to tire wear, causing imbalance. A significant imbalance can result in severe body shaking, drastically reducing the vehicle's handling performance. While driving at low speeds might still be possible, it becomes extremely dangerous at high speeds and may lead to loss of control. Driveshaft Imbalance Shaking: This issue is relatively rare and mostly occurs in rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles. It happens when the vehicle's chassis has been lifted improperly, causing the driveshaft to deform or loosen, leading to shaking during high-speed rotation. Continuing to drive in this condition can damage the vehicle's transmission and differential.

What do the gears M+ and M- mean?

Gears M+ and M- refer to the manual mode of an automatic transmission vehicle. In this gear mode, shifting can be done like a manual transmission car, shifting up at high speeds and down at low speeds. Pushing the gear lever to M+ means shifting up one gear, while pushing it to M- means shifting down one gear. Advantages of a manual-automatic transmission car: 1. Faster braking and stopping: When the vehicle is driving at high speed and needs to brake urgently, using the manual method to downshift can slow the vehicle down as quickly as possible. This is easier to master and operate with a manual transmission car, allowing the vehicle to brake and stop faster. 2. Easier exit from turns: Faster cornering. Usually when cornering, you first step on the brake to slow down before entering the turn, then step on the accelerator when about to exit the turn to quickly leave the turn. If you switch to "manual-automatic" mode before entering the turn and downshift to use the engine's traction to control the speed, you can smoothly and safely exit the turn with just a light press on the accelerator when preparing to exit. 3. Reduced brake pad wear: When going downhill, if an automatic transmission car chooses to coast in neutral, it not only harms the car but is also unsafe. If you choose manual mode and use first gear to pull the vehicle, you don't need to keep stepping on the brake, thus reducing wear on the brake pads.

What does 20W-50 motor oil mean?

20W-50 is a specification for motor oil, where 20W indicates that the oil can function normally at temperatures as low as -15 degrees Celsius. The 'W' stands for WINTER, and the number before 'W' represents the oil's flow performance at low temperatures—the smaller the number, the better the starting performance in cold conditions. The number 50 represents the oil's viscosity and flow characteristics, meaning the number after 'W' indicates the oil's stability at high temperatures (i.e., its resistance to thinning). A higher number signifies better high-temperature stability. Functions of motor oil: Motor oil lubricates the engine to reduce friction, aids in cooling, provides sealing to prevent leaks, protects against rust and corrosion, and acts as a shock absorber. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Choosing the right oil and changing it regularly helps maintain the engine in good condition and extends its lifespan. Selecting motor oil: When choosing motor oil, the most expensive option isn't necessarily the best. Instead, the correct approach is to select oil based on the characteristics of the car's engine and the driver's habits. Oil can be categorized by its suitability for winter or summer use. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade, while in summer, due to higher temperatures, an oil with excellent low-temperature viscosity performance is not required.
