The BMW 740 has six models currently on sale. Among them, the 2021 740Li Executive Luxury Package, Leading M Sport Package, and Leading Luxury Package, all equipped with a 340-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100 km. The 2021 740Li xDrive Executive M Sport Package, Luxury Package, and the modified 740Li xDrive Brilliance Custom Limited Edition, also equipped with a 340-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100 km. The fuel tank capacity of different BMW 740 models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 340-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100 km, the fuel tank capacity is 78L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 78/7.5*100=1040 km. For models equipped with a 340-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100 km, the fuel tank capacity is 78L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 78/7.9*100=987 km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls higher RPMs to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.

Does the Dash Cam Automatically Record While Driving?

The dash cam automatically starts recording every time the car is turned on. Depending on the model of the dash cam, there may be different scenarios, as detailed below: 1. For single-camera dash cams, which are typically powered by the car's cigarette lighter or other in-car power sources, there are two types: (1) Models with motion detection. These dash cams usually have a small built-in battery. After the car is turned off, they will automatically start recording if there is movement in front of the lens. The built-in battery is generally sufficient for one night in a relatively quiet parking lot, but it won’t last longer or work well in busier areas. (2) Models without motion detection. These dash cams shut down when the car is turned off and are essentially useless when parked. 2. Dual-camera dash cams, which have one camera at the front and one at the rear of the vehicle, are usually hardwired directly to the car battery via the fuse box. These dash cams continue to work at night because they draw power from the battery, making them suitable for outdoor or remote parking. The downside is that they drain the battery.

Which Type of Engine Oil is Suitable for Turbocharged Engines?

For turbocharged models, it is recommended to use fully synthetic engine oil. Additional Information: 1. The construction of turbocharged engines imposes higher demands on the engine, as their internal components must withstand high temperatures and more severe impacts, compression, and other working conditions. Therefore, when selecting engine oil for turbocharged cars, it must have good anti-wear properties and also be resistant to high temperatures. Fully synthetic or semi-synthetic engine oils can precisely meet these requirements. Besides using the manufacturer-recommended oil, fully synthetic and semi-synthetic oils are both excellent choices. 2. The turbocharger is one of the most vulnerable components in a turbocharged engine. According to relevant data, more than 80% of turbocharger failures are due to insufficient lubrication from the engine oil. Hence, fully synthetic engine oil is currently the most suitable choice for turbocharged engines.

Is It Necessary to Purchase a Paint Protection Film?

Purchasing a paint protection film mainly depends on the owner's needs. If you plan to discard the car after three to five years, there is no need to buy it. However, if you aim to preserve the car's value or use it for several more years, then purchasing a paint protection film is advisable. The advantages of a paint protection film include: 1. Enhancing paint gloss. A paint protection film can improve the gloss and brightness of the car's paint, with varying effects depending on the brand, typically increasing brightness by 5%-30%. 2. Preventing physical scratches. The primary purpose of a paint protection film is to protect the car's original paint, especially against physical scratches. Minor scratches and abrasions can self-heal. It effectively prevents damage from road debris like stones and branches. 3. Preventing chemical corrosion. You won't have to worry about acid rain corrosion, oxidation, or damage from common road contaminants like bird droppings and insect remains. 4. Long-term value preservation. The transparent paint protection film perfectly safeguards the original paint while enhancing its brightness, adding aesthetic value. A well-maintained, brighter paint job can increase the car's resale value by 10%-20% in the used car market.

What is the working principle of automotive xenon headlights?

Working principle: After the power is turned on, the transformer instantly boosts the 12V power supply to a high-voltage pulse exceeding 20,000 volts, activating the xenon gas in the xenon bulb to produce intense light with a color temperature ranging from 6000K to 10000K in the arc, appearing as crystal-clear white with a slight hint of purple-blue. Additional information: 1. Xenon headlights (High-intensity-Discharge-Lamp) refer to high-pressure gas discharge lamps filled with a mixture of inert gases including xenon, without the filament found in halogen lamps (halogen-lamp). They are abbreviated as HID xenon headlights and can also be called metal halide lamps or xenon lamps, categorized into automotive xenon headlights and outdoor lighting xenon headlights. 2. In the automotive lighting field, xenon headlights are also known as HID gas discharge headlights. They replace traditional tungsten filaments with high-pressure xenon gas enclosed in quartz tubes, providing higher color temperature and more focused illumination. Since xenon lamps generate an arc of light by activating xenon gas with high-voltage current, they can continuously emit light between the two electrodes.

Is it normal for the engine to run at 3000 RPM when the speed is 100 mph?

It is not normal for the engine to run at 3000 RPM when the speed is 100 mph on flat ground. However, it is normal when driving uphill at 100 mph with the engine at 3000 RPM, as the resistance and load are greater uphill, requiring the engine to maintain a higher RPM to sustain the current speed, which necessitates pressing the accelerator. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. For manual transmission cars with an engine displacement below 2.0L, the engine RPM is around 3000 when the speed reaches 120 km/h. The RPM for automatic transmissions (AT) is similar to that of manual transmissions or slightly lower, while CVT transmission models have the lowest RPM. 2. A lower RPM indicates that the engine can deliver high torque at low RPM ranges, with sufficient torque, and the highest gear ratio of the transmission is small enough. Meeting these two conditions allows for lower RPM. The quality of an engine cannot be judged solely by its RPM. Lower engine RPM reduces wear and results in better fuel efficiency.
