The official combined fuel consumption of the BMW 523 with a 2.5L engine is 6.5-7.2L per 100 kilometers, while the actual measured fuel consumption is 9.45-9.67L per 100 kilometers. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers parameter: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel consumed by a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated by driving at specified speeds to determine the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model. Road condition fuel consumption: Road condition fuel consumption is a fuel indicator calculated by repeatedly testing the values measured when a vehicle travels on specified roads at prescribed speeds and times, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption.

As someone who has driven many cars, I remember the fuel consumption data of the BMW 523's 2.5-liter engine quite clearly. In urban driving conditions, the average fuel consumption typically ranges from 12 to 15 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can be even higher if you frequently encounter traffic jams. On the highway, it stabilizes at around 7 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers. Overall, the combined fuel consumption fluctuates around 10 liters per 100 kilometers. Driving habits have a significant impact—if you often brake abruptly or accelerate aggressively, fuel consumption can easily spike. Smooth starts and reducing idling can save you a lot on fuel costs. Additionally, vehicle maintenance is crucial. Regularly changing the engine oil and adjusting tire pressure can help maintain fuel consumption at lower levels; otherwise, older cars tend to become increasingly fuel-inefficient. In summary, this car isn’t the epitome of fuel efficiency, but as a classic model, it delivers powerful performance.

Why Do Brake Discs Turn Yellow?

Turning yellow is a normal phenomenon and has no impact on the vehicle or braking performance. Since brake discs are made of steel and lack anti-rust protection due to frequent friction, rust can appear after being parked in humid weather for a few days or exposed to rain. Even new cars at 4S dealerships may experience this if left outdoors for an extended period. It is important to emphasize that rust on brake discs does not affect braking performance, and you can drive with confidence. For more information on rust removal: 1. Braking: Drive the car out and apply the brakes several times to wear off the rust on the brake disc. 2. Sanding: If some rust remains, you can remove the steel wheel and sand it off with sandpaper.

Where is the rearview mirror heating switch on the Roewe RX5 Plus?

The rearview mirror heating switch on the Roewe RX5 Plus is located on the left-hand side lever, opposite the wiper lever, and shares the same button with the rear window defroster. The rearview mirror heating function refers to the feature where, when driving in rainy, snowy, or foggy weather, the rearview mirrors can be heated via heating wires embedded behind the mirror surface to ensure clear visibility. Relevant information about the rearview mirror heating function is as follows: 1. Identification: The rearview mirror heating symbol is a curved upward arrow paired with a rectangular pattern. While the location of the rearview mirror heating switch may vary across different car models, the symbols are generally similar. 2. Working principle: An electric heating element (heating film) is installed inside the lenses of both side rearview mirrors. In rainy or snowy weather, when the driver activates the rearview mirror heating function, the heating element quickly warms up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius, thereby heating the mirror surface to remove fog and frost.

What are the effects of water reaching the car chassis?

If water reaches the car chassis, there is generally no problem, as this depth will not damage the car's components. Here are some key points to note when water enters the car chassis: 1. Rust prevention treatment: When cleaning the water from the chassis, it is also important to pay attention to rust prevention. You can use automotive-specific rust inhibitors for rust removal. Special attention should be paid to whether the universal joints, bolts, and transmission mechanisms have rusted. 2. Car maintenance: It is recommended to take the car to a 4S shop or repair shop for maintenance and to check for any leaks. Special attention should be paid to the braking system and brake discs to see if there are any abnormalities or rust caused by water. 3. Check for circuit and oil line blockages: Inspect the car chassis's circuits and oil lines for any faults or blockages. If professional inspection is required, it can be handed over to maintenance personnel. You can also check the carpets and electric seats for any signs of water damage.

Why does the car make noise and not move when shifting gears?

From the perspective of automotive construction, there are mainly two reasons for gear shifting noise: 1. Gear shifting mechanism noise: The car's gear shifting structure consists of the gear lever, cables, gear selection and shifting mechanism, shift fork, and synchronizer. These parts produce relatively small noise. 2. Transmission noise: Over time, transmission oil can develop sludge, increasing the wear of friction plates and other components. Wear in these parts can lead to malfunctions and cause noise. If the noise during gear shifting is relatively small and comes from near the gear lever, it is likely due to the gear shifting mechanism. If the noise during gear shifting is a clunking sound, it is usually caused by gear impact issues in the transmission.

How Many Years of Vehicle Damage Cannot Be Insured?

Vehicles over 8 years old are generally not insured, and it is rare to find insurance companies willing to cover vehicles over 10 years old. If coverage is provided, compensation is paid on a proportional basis. For a 10-year-old vehicle, some insurance types may be automatically excluded by insurers, such as vehicle damage insurance, though renewal might still be possible. However, theft insurance for such vehicles is typically unavailable. The scope of coverage for vehicle damage insurance includes the following: 1. Collision, overturning; fire, explosion, and spontaneous combustion for non-commercial or government vehicles as stipulated in the insurance contract; 2. Falling or collapsing external objects, or the insured vehicle falling parallel while in motion; 3. Storms, tornadoes, lightning strikes, hail, heavy rain, floods, tsunamis, ground collapse, ice collapse, cliff collapse, avalanches, mudslides, and landslides.
