1. The first generation of domestically produced BMW 5 Series, code name: E60 (2003-2007 mid-cycle facelift-2010) Introduction: The E60 BMW 5 Series featured enlarged and lengthened kidney grilles compared to its predecessor (a BMW tradition—when in doubt, enlarge the grille). Its overly smooth styling and upward-sweeping headlight eyebrows gave the BMW 5 Series a more fashionable and dynamic appearance. The rear design emphasized sharper lines, and the addition of a shark fin antenna enhanced the car's sporty appeal. 2. The second generation of domestically produced BMW 5 Series, code name: F10/18 (2010-2017) Introduction: In 2010, the F10 BMW 5 Series was officially launched. The new generation's exterior design was less aggressive than the previous model. The front grille seamlessly integrated with the powerfully sculpted hood, while the headlights exuded elegance and agility. The taillight design bore some resemblance to the third-generation BMW 5 Series.

What is the difference between manual transmission and automatic transmission in cars?

Manual transmission and automatic transmission differ in the type of gearbox used. Here are the relevant details: 1. Price and maintenance costs: Compared to manual transmission, automatic transmission is more expensive. In the current automotive market, the price difference between manual and automatic transmission models generally ranges from 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. It is understood that the structure of manual transmission is relatively simple, making it easier and cheaper to manufacture and maintain... 2. Fuel consumption: To discuss which type of transmission is more fuel-efficient, it is necessary to first understand how each type saves fuel. When not in neutral, manual transmission directly transmits power, resulting in higher efficiency... 3. Safety: Although coasting in neutral with a manual transmission saves fuel, the car loses power, which can lead to understeer, tailspin, and other issues, especially during turns.

What does EMS mean in a car?

Engine Management System (abbreviated as EMS) Here is some relevant information: 1. EMS uses various sensors to convert conditions such as the amount of air intake, coolant temperature, engine speed, and acceleration/deceleration into electrical signals, which are then sent to the controller. 2. The controller compares this information with stored data, performs precise calculations, and outputs control signals. EMS can not only accurately control fuel supply, replacing the traditional carburetor, but also manage ignition timing and idle air flow, significantly improving engine performance. 3. The engine valve drive mechanism adopts a hydraulic support roller rocker arm structure. Compared to the commonly used hydraulic tappet valve drive mechanism in current gasoline engines, this innovative valve drive mechanism has the advantage of relatively lower friction torque, effectively reducing engine power consumption and fuel consumption.

What to Do When an Automatic Car Battery Dies?

When an automatic car battery dies, it can be resolved through the following methods: 1. Jump-starting with another vehicle's battery, a method applicable to both manual and automatic transmission cars. 2. External towing start, which operates on the same principle as the first method. (1) A sturdy tow rope is needed to securely fasten the front and rear of both vehicles. (2) Begin the towing start slowly, ensuring the speed of both vehicles and paying attention to driving safety. Once the rear vehicle starts, promptly notify the front vehicle, then slowly pull over to the roadside to park. 3. Call for roadside assistance. Roadside assistance numbers can be found online, or keep roadside assistance cards handy. Always carry jumper cables in the car, regularly check the vehicle's condition, monitor the car battery's status, keep the battery surface clean to prevent leakage and discharge, and replace the battery immediately if bulging or swelling occurs.

What does RPM mean in cars?

RPM is the abbreviation for "Revolutions-per-Minute", which represents the engine speed per minute. Here is some relevant information: 1. Generally speaking, a faster engine speed can provide more power. The engine drives piston movement by burning air and gasoline, thereby driving the crankshaft to provide power to the vehicle. This force converted to the crankshaft is what we call torque. 2. The higher the RPM value, the more air and gasoline need to be burned, resulting in greater power. For drivers of manual transmission vehicles, RPM is one of the criteria for determining whether to shift gears. When the RPM is too low, it is necessary to downshift to obtain more power, while excessively high RPM can have adverse effects on the engine (especially when entering the red zone). 3. The RPM value that produces maximum power varies depending on different engines, but generally it is best to avoid the tachometer entering the red zone to prevent damage to the engine.

What does automotive NVH mean?

Automotive NVH refers to Noise, Vibration, and Harshness, which is an English abbreviation for Noise, Vibration, and Harshness. This is a comprehensive issue that measures the manufacturing quality of automobiles. Here is some relevant information: 1. The generation of automotive vibration and noise is not independent but closely related. Noise originates from vibration, and these three factors—vibration, noise, and comfort—are closely interconnected. It is essential to reduce vibration and noise while improving ride comfort, ensuring product safety, environmental friendliness, and performance. 2. An experiment on NVH standards showed that when using a car preferred by customers for testing, driving on a relatively smooth cement-paved road at a speed of 40 km/h, if the NVH of European cars is taken as 100% standard, Japanese cars are 75%, and Korean cars are 50%.
