BMW display cars and new cars have the following differences: BMW display cars and new cars appearance: New cars will have a layer of protective paper on the outside, while display cars in the showroom will have this protective paper removed, causing the paint on the car body to begin oxidizing with the air, leading to a gradual fading of the car's exterior color. Additionally, when display cars are viewed by customers, it is inevitable that some careless actions may scratch the car body, such as sharp objects like clothing accessories or keys. Therefore, when purchasing a car, it is essential to inspect the car carefully. For popular models, this might be less of an issue, but for cars that have been in inventory for a longer time, a more thorough inspection is necessary. This is because for older inventory cars, the one you see is likely the one you will buy, and getting a brand-new, untouched car is almost impossible. BMW display cars and new cars interior: Display cars are frequently sat in by people, which can cause slight deformation of the seats, especially leather seats, which may develop wrinkles from frequent use. Moreover, new cars typically have a pungent odor, but display cars are often treated to eliminate this odor for customer convenience. While the odor in new cars is not uncommon, it actually poses a safety hazard for car owners, as the smell is often due to formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a common gaseous pollutant found not only in newly renovated homes but also in new cars. This is because new cars use many adhesives during assembly, and these adhesives contain large amounts of formaldehyde.

Why Do You Need to Press the Brake to Start an Automatic Transmission Car?

Pressing the brake to start an automatic transmission car is to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward or moving forward after starting. Here are some precautions for driving an automatic transmission car: 1. For long waits at traffic lights, use the foot brake: If waiting at an intersection for an extended period, it's advisable to shift to N (Neutral) gear and engage the handbrake. Keeping the brake pressed for too long can cause the fuel temperature in the transmission to rise excessively. 2. Frequent hard acceleration consumes more fuel: If the driver intentionally presses the accelerator hard during normal driving, the automatic transmission's computer may interpret this as a need to accelerate for overtaking, leading to downshifting to increase torque. Frequently accelerating hard in this manner not only increases fuel consumption but also accelerates abnormal wear and tear on the automatic transmission gearbox.

What is the minimum compulsory insurance premium for a car?

The annual compulsory insurance premium for a car varies each year, primarily depending on whether the owner's vehicle was involved in any traffic accidents in the previous year. Generally, vehicles that have not been involved in accidents for several consecutive years will see their compulsory insurance premiums decrease, while those involved in accidents will face increasing premiums. Below are the consequences of driving without compulsory insurance: 1. Self-coverage of expenses: In the event of a traffic accident, regardless of the owner's liability, all resulting losses must be borne by the owner, who will need to pay the compulsory insurance claim amount out of pocket. 2. Annual inspection rejection: Long-term failure to pay compulsory insurance will result in the vehicle's annual inspection being rejected. 3. Penalty points and vehicle impoundment: If caught by traffic police, the driver will face a penalty of 1 point deducted from their license, and the vehicle will be impounded until the owner pays the insurance premium.

How to Choose a Child Safety Seat?

The selection method for child safety seats is as follows: 1. First, child seats are categorized into groups. Different seat groups are required for children of different ages, heights, and weights. 2. Secondly, the interface forms also vary, and you need to choose the corresponding model of child safety seat based on your vehicle's interface. Currently, there are only two most common interfaces: ISOFIX and LATCH. These two interfaces mainly correspond to European and American standards, respectively. The steel connectors of ISOFIX seats are mounted on two retractable steel rails, while the steel connectors of LATCH seats are connected by a soft strap and can be detached. Therefore, in terms of installation convenience, LATCH is slightly better. 3. Lastly, the most important aspect is safety. The simplest method is to check the seat's certification, ensuring it meets ECER-44/R-129 and 3C standards. Products that pass these certification and testing standards are relatively reliable.
