I've been driving a BMW 525 for several years, and it typically takes about 8.1 seconds to accelerate from standstill to 100 kilometers per hour. The official data is based on test results from the 2020 model with a 2.0T turbocharged engine. In actual driving, it performs adequately on both city streets and highways, with smooth throttle response and no hesitation when overtaking. The engine delivers 184 horsepower, weighs 1700kg, and the rear-wheel-drive design ensures stable starts, though it might feel a bit slower in rainy conditions due to reduced tire grip. Fuel consumption averages around 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers, making it quite suitable for daily commutes, though it can't match the thrill of electric or sports cars. On highways, the car feels powerful, and running the air conditioning doesn't noticeably affect acceleration. Overall, this car offers good value for money with moderate maintenance costs. Regular tire replacements and check-ups help maintain its factory performance.

Does Disassembling the Engine Have a Significant Impact?

Disassembling the engine does not have a significant impact. Following the normal procedures for disassembly and installation will not harm the machine's performance. Generally, engine disassembly for repairs is only necessary in cases such as water entering the engine, mixing of engine oil and water, or damage to the engine casing leading to oil or water leaks. Inspection criteria for engine overhaul: When there is severe oil consumption and blue smoke emission: If there is oil leakage, it is likely caused by aging valve seals or aligned gaps in the piston rings. For these two scenarios, priority should be given to inspecting these two automotive component groups before deciding whether an engine overhaul is necessary. When the engine produces abnormal noises: If severe knocking sounds are detected, or if the engine's main and connecting rod bearings are severely worn and the crankshaft shows significant wear, an overhaul should be considered. When cylinder wear reaches overhaul standards: Regardless of other symptoms in the car, the ultimate criterion for deciding on an overhaul is the extent of cylinder wear. If the cylinder's out-of-roundness reaches 0.125mm per 100mm of bore diameter, or if the cylinder's taper wear reaches 0.4mm per 100mm of bore diameter, meeting either of these conditions warrants consideration for an overhaul.

Will There Be a Popping Sound When Starting with Rusty Brake Discs?

Starting with rusty brake discs can produce a popping sound. Brake systems include disc brakes, drum brakes, and air brakes. Disc brakes offer better heat dissipation compared to drum brakes, making them less prone to thermal fade during high-speed braking, thus providing superior high-speed braking performance. However, their braking effectiveness at low speeds with cold brakes is inferior to drum brakes. Light rust on the brake disc surface: If there is only light surface rust, it can typically be removed by applying the brakes multiple times while driving. No special treatment is required, as minor rust on the brake discs will naturally wear off during normal braking. Severe rust on the brake disc surface: If the rust is more severe, it may cause vibrations or shaking during braking, such as brake pad vibration, steering wheel vibration or shaking, or body tremors. In such cases, it is advisable to take the vehicle to a repair shop, remove the brake discs, and sand the rust off thoroughly. The brake pads should also be inspected for any abnormalities. After proper reinstallation, a road test should be conducted. The road test involves driving at a speed of 70 km/h on a flat road and performing multiple brake applications to ensure no abnormalities are present. Precautions for brake disc usage: To maintain brake discs, it is recommended to perform maintenance every two months to prevent severe rust development. If vibrations persist after sanding the brake discs, it indicates an uneven surface, which may require further polishing or, depending on the situation, replacement.

Will you be penalized for occupying the overtaking lane on the highway for a long time?

Occupying the overtaking lane for a long time will result in penalty points. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," on highways, especially in the overtaking lane, driving below the minimum speed limit or occupying the overtaking lane for an extended period under normal driving conditions are considered illegal acts, punishable by a 3-point deduction and a fine. The overtaking lane is located in the leftmost lane of the highway. It is only set up when the road meets the standards of a bidirectional six-lane highway. The overtaking lane is designed for vehicles that need to overtake or those traveling at the required speed. However, some drivers occupy the overtaking lane for long periods, forcing vehicles that need to overtake to do so from the relatively slower main lanes. This increases the speed difference between the overtaking vehicle and the vehicles in the main lane, raising the risk of traffic accidents. Precautions for driving on highways: When merging, do not obstruct vehicles traveling in the main lane; always pay attention to roadside and road signs and markings, and drive appropriately to the right, avoiding straddling lanes; maintain a safe longitudinal distance between vehicles, increasing the distance in special weather conditions; when overtaking, estimate the distance and speeds of both vehicles, and under normal conditions, signal left, sound the horn, and overtake from the overtaking lane—overtaking from the right is prohibited.

Can a Deteriorated Three-Way Catalytic Converter Still Be Used?

A deteriorated three-way catalytic converter should not continue to be used. When a car's three-way catalytic converter deteriorates, it becomes ineffective, leading to poor engine exhaust flow and excessive tailpipe emissions. The best solution is to replace it with a new one. Cleaning the Three-Way Catalytic Converter: The cleaning method for a three-way catalytic converter is known as the "drip cleaning" process. This involves connecting a plastic hose to the engine's vacuum solenoid valve and using the air pressure in the hollow tube to draw cleaning fluid from an infusion bottle into the engine. As the cleaning fluid exits through the exhaust pipe, it cleans the three-way catalytic converter. Lifespan of the Three-Way Catalytic Converter: The typical lifespan of a three-way catalytic converter is between 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. The exact lifespan depends on the vehicle's usage conditions, as well as the quality of fuel used and the driving environment.
