BMW B7 is an Alpina-tuned version of the BMW 7 Series. Alpina is a manufacturer originating from Bavaria, Germany, and serves as BMW's official tuning brand. Alpina (ALPINA) is an independent brand renowned worldwide for specializing in modifying BMW vehicles, and it has no subsidiary relationship with BMW. Unlike typical tuning companies, Alpina (ALPINA) and Brabus both affix their own logos to their modified products. Generally, you won't see the BMW logo on Alpina (ALPINA) products; only the ALPINA logo is visible. Alpina (ALPINA)-modified BMW cars are famous for their outstanding performance and personalized configurations. The company can modify almost all BMW products, ranging from the 3 Series, 5 Series, and 7 Series to the 6 Series and Z4. The BMW 7 Series is a large 4-door, 5-seat sedan with dimensions of 5273mm in length, 1902mm in width, and 1498mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3210mm.

What is the emission standard for a car registered in 2008?

Most cars registered in 2008 comply with the China IV emission standard. For cars registered in 2007, some meet the China III standard, while others meet the China IV standard. Cars registered before 2007 generally fall below the China IV standard, meaning they are either China III or China II. Most cars registered after 2008 meet the China IV standard. In 2014, some cars met the China V standard, while others remained at China IV. After 2015, most cars comply with the China V standard. Below is relevant information: Methods to check a car's emission standard: Check the vehicle's environmental protection label, which has clear markings on the back; visit the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to inquire; bring the vehicle registration certificate to the DMV for inquiry; check the vehicle's factory certificate; roughly determine based on the year the car was registered. China IV emission standard: The China IV emission standard is the fourth phase of the national motor vehicle pollutant emission standard. The main pollutants emitted by vehicles include HC (hydrocarbons), NOx (nitrogen oxides), CO (carbon monoxide), and PM (particulate matter). By applying technologies such as improved catalytic converter active layers, secondary air injection, and exhaust gas recirculation systems with cooling devices, the standard controls and reduces vehicle emissions to below specified levels.

What is the Difference Between a Zebra Crossing and a Pedestrian Crossing?

Zebra Crossing and Pedestrian Crossing differ in the following aspects: 1. Location: A pedestrian sidewalk is located on both sides of the road, running parallel to the vehicle lanes, dedicated for pedestrian use. A pedestrian crossing, also known as a zebra crossing, is situated at intersections and is marked with zebra stripes or other indicators on the vehicle lanes, designated for pedestrians to cross the road. 2. Function: The primary purpose of a pedestrian sidewalk is for walking, and cycling is not allowed on it. Zebra crossings play a significant role in guiding vehicles and pedestrians to move and stop in an orderly manner on the street. When drivers see these white lines, they automatically slow down or stop to allow pedestrians to cross safely, greatly contributing to reducing traffic accidents and protecting personal safety.

How Long Does It Take for an Engine to Be Damaged by Overheating?

There is no fixed time for engine damage due to overheating, as it depends on the quality of the engine. However, prolonged high temperatures can significantly reduce the lifespan of a car, so it is not advisable to let the engine overheat. Negative effects of engine overheating: 1. **Decrease in Engine Power**: When a car operates in temperatures above 35°C (95°F), with a tailwind or under heavy load at low speeds, engine overheating becomes more severe. This further reduces the engine's air intake efficiency, leading to a decrease in the amount of fresh air-fuel mixture entering the cylinders. As a result, the average effective pressure in the cylinders drops, causing a decline in engine power. 2. **Increased Fuel Consumption**: At excessively high temperatures, lubricating oil that enters the cylinders can form carbon deposits under high-temperature, low-oxygen conditions. These deposits accumulate on the piston crown, combustion chamber walls, valve heads, and spark plugs, creating hot spots. This can lead to abnormal combustion, potentially causing deformation, cracks, or warping of the engine block and cylinder head. It may also damage the cylinder head gasket, reducing cylinder pressure at the end of compression and increasing fuel consumption. 3. **Increased Component Wear**: High temperatures cause lubricating oil to oxidize and degrade, forming sludge and deposits that adhere to piston rings, cylinder walls, and other friction surfaces, reducing heat dissipation. The viscosity of the oil decreases, oil pressure drops, and lubrication deteriorates. Under impact loads, the strength of the oil film on the cylinder walls weakens, accelerating wear on engine components.

How many kilometers can 25 liters of fuel run?

Generally, a car can travel 200-300 kilometers. Different car models have different fuel consumption. An ordinary 2.0T displacement family car usually consumes about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, so 25 liters of fuel can roughly travel 300 kilometers. A 3.0T displacement sedan mostly consumes more than 12 liters per 100 kilometers, so 25 liters of fuel can approximately travel 200 kilometers. The level of fuel consumption is significantly related to driving habits, road conditions, wind direction, ambient temperature, tire condition, and vehicle weight: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle in advance when encountering red lights, will increase fuel consumption. Road conditions: Dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, and mountainous roads increase resistance and fuel consumption when driving on these surfaces. Driving environment: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the injected gasoline during cold starts is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the vehicle to warm up at higher RPMs, which also increases fuel consumption. Tire condition: Driving with under-inflated tires will reduce vehicle kinetic energy, thereby increasing fuel consumption. When the vehicle weight is too high, the fuel consumption for the car's work will also increase.
