BMW 5 Series acceleration jerking and hesitation reasons are as follows: Excessive carbon buildup: Throttle body, fuel injectors, and intake tract have significant carbon deposits. Many malfunctions are caused by carbon buildup, and some vehicles may experience jerking sensations related to this issue. It is recommended to regularly clean carbon deposits. Faulty spark plugs or ignition coils: This can lead to engine misfires (cylinder deactivation). In such cases, it is necessary to visit a repair shop for inspection and timely repairs to avoid further safety hazards. Engine speed not matching current vehicle speed: This means there is a speed difference between the engine RPM and clutch plate rotation. When shifting gears and releasing the clutch, if the engine speed does not match the vehicle speed (i.e., there's a difference between engine RPM and clutch plate rotation), jerking will occur.

What are the differences between 6-seater and 7-seater vehicles?

6-seater and 7-seater vehicles differ by one seat, and there are also variations in insurance premiums and annual inspections. The differences between 6-seater and 7-seater vehicles are as follows: Different insurance premiums: Insurance companies generally categorize passenger vehicles as follows: passenger vehicles with 6 seats or fewer, and passenger vehicles with 6-10 seats. Different vehicle categories are subject to different premium rates. Therefore, for insurance purposes, 5-seater and 6-seater/7-seater vehicles fall into two distinct categories, each with its own base premium rate. Differences in annual inspections: According to annual inspection regulations, 6-seater vehicles (and fewer) are exempt from inspections for the first 6 years, while 7-seater vehicles with more than 6 seats do not qualify for this exemption and must undergo regular inspections—once every two years within the first 6 years. After 6 years, all vehicle types must undergo annual inspections. Of course, not all 5-seater or 6-seater vehicles qualify for the 6-year exemption; the vehicle must not have been involved in any injury accidents in the previous year. The so-called exemption mainly refers to exemption from the inspection line, but the biennial review is still required. Owners must bring a valid compulsory insurance policy and the original vehicle registration certificate to the vehicle management department to complete the annual inspection. Therefore, in terms of annual inspections, only 5-seater and 6-seater vehicles under 6 years old that have not been involved in injury accidents are exempt from the inspection line, while all other cases are treated the same.

How to Save Yourself When the Brakes Fail

After the brakes fail, in addition to solving the problem of slowing down, you also need to pay attention to the surrounding vehicles. Using hazard lights and the horn can alert nearby vehicles. Pressing the brake pedal repeatedly several times will apply pressure to the air pressure braking system in the oil pipe, increasing the chance of restoring braking force. If the braking force cannot be restored after multiple attempts, you will need to use the handbrake to slow down the vehicle.
