The 'Pointy-Eared BMW' is actually a nickname given by car enthusiasts to the new BMW 4 Series. Its kidney grille has been redesigned into upright, large nostrils with pointed tips at the top, making it look strikingly like a pair of perked-up pointy ears at first glance. This nickname has become quite popular among fans, especially when discussing the M4 or the standard 4 Series coupe. Initially, many criticized the design as too bold, but in reality, it offers incredible recognition on the street—you can spot a BMW from ten meters away. The design team likely aimed to differentiate it from competitors like Mercedes and Audi with this groundbreaking look, and it seems to have worked well, turning into a signature feature.

Does adding fuel additive affect the car?

Will adding fuel additive cause damage to the car engine? The main components of fuel additive. In fact, the composition of fuel additive is not complex, mainly consisting of gasoline and a small amount of fuel detergent, which has little effect on cleaning engine carbon deposits. Relevant information about antifreeze is as follows: 1. Introduction: The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning coolant with antifreeze function. Antifreeze can prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or cylinder head when parked in cold winter. 2. Function: It provides anti-corrosion protection for the components of the cooling system; prevents scale formation and avoids reducing the radiator's cooling effect; ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range.

What is the purpose of an intercooler in an engine?

An intercooler in an engine can reduce the intake air temperature. Lowering the intake air temperature can enhance power output and reduce the likelihood of engine knocking. However, only turbocharged engines are equipped with intercoolers, while naturally aspirated engines do not have them. The intake principles of turbocharged engines differ from those of naturally aspirated engines. Relevant information about intercoolers is as follows: 1. Introduction: An intercooler is essentially a component paired with turbocharging, and it is typically found only in vehicles equipped with a turbocharger. 2. Function: Its role is to lower the temperature of the compressed air, thereby reducing the engine's thermal load, increasing the intake air volume, and consequently boosting the engine's power.

How to Deal with Engine Malfunction Light Caused by Poor Fuel Quality

Methods for handling engine malfunction light caused by poor fuel quality: First, replace with qualified gasoline of the correct grade, then clean the engine fuel system, including the catalytic converter and oxygen sensor, and finally clear the engine fault code. It is recommended to promptly visit a 4S dealership for resolution. If poor fuel quality triggers the engine light, all the substandard fuel can be drained and replaced with high-quality fuel. In some vehicles, the engine malfunction light may automatically turn off after approximately half a minute of operation. Fuel quality is a primary cause of the engine malfunction light illuminating. The anti-knock property of gasoline is indicated by its octane rating—the higher the octane number, the better the anti-knock performance.

Does Audi Engine Still Burn Oil?

As long as it is an engine, it will burn some oil more or less. Audi engines are no exception. The reasons for car engines burning oil are as follows: Different oil standards: Due to the difference between domestic fuel quality and international standards, it is easy to form a large amount of carbon deposits in the combustion chamber during engine operation. Carbon deposits are the root cause of various engine problems. Engine carbon deposits: Carbon deposits will accumulate in the piston grooves, causing the piston rings to stick together. This results in the piston rings being stuck and unable to fully seal. The "stuck" piston rings greatly reduce the oil scraping and sealing ability. In addition, sludge can also block the oil return holes, preventing the oil from returning normally, leading to increased oil consumption.
