BMW 7 Series fuel consumption is 9.9-13 liters/100km. Introduction to fuel consumption: Fuel consumption (Constant-Speed Fuel Economy): Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when a car is driving at a constant speed on a good road surface. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. Combined fuel consumption: Combined fuel consumption is tested under various conditions such as urban roads, highways, and different loads. It is only a reference, and actual fuel consumption may be higher or lower than this figure. For example, driving daily in busy city areas with frequent braking and acceleration can lead to higher fuel consumption, even reaching 10 liters/100km, which is quite normal.

I've driven a BMW 7 Series for several years, with an average fuel consumption of around 11L/100km in the city and dropping to 9L on the highway, depending on the specific model and year. For example, the 730Li is more fuel-efficient, with a combined consumption just over 10L/100km, while the 750Li is more powerful and can exceed 14L/100km in urban driving. Many factors affect fuel consumption—aggressive driving with sudden acceleration can spike it, and older engines consume more due to wear. From my experience, checking tire pressure weekly and regularly maintaining the air filter can save about 10% in fuel. When buying used, be extra cautious—if the previous owner mistreated the engine, fuel consumption could increase by 20%. Overall, as a luxury car, the 7 Series isn’t the most fuel-efficient, but its comfort and performance justify the cost.

As a car enthusiast, I believe the fuel consumption of the BMW 7 Series is proportional to its performance. For instance, the 740Li consumes around 12-13L/100km in city driving and 7-8L on highways, which is indeed higher than regular sedans. The new hybrid version is more fuel-efficient, with a combined consumption of about 7L. But don't just focus on the numbers—the driving experience is fantastic, with excellent stability and quietness on highways. If you're concerned about costs, try using the Eco mode or avoiding peak traffic hours, and you'll see an immediate drop in fuel consumption. In the long run, opting for low-viscosity engine oil during maintenance can also help optimize efficiency. With the current trend toward environmental protection, the 7 Series is evolving, and future models may become even more efficient.

Having driven the BMW 7 Series for so many years, fuel consumption mainly depends on the vehicle's condition and maintenance. The base model 730Li consumes around 10L in the city and about 8L on the highway, but faults like clogged fuel injectors or multi-cylinder misfires can increase it to 15L. Reminding everyone not to overlook minor issues, changing the engine oil annually and cleaning the throttle body keeps the engine running smoothly. The hybrid version is a new star in fuel efficiency, with zero fuel consumption in pure electric mode. The overall average combined fuel consumption is 11-12L/100km, and it's recommended to test drive before choosing to experience the actual feel.

Is 4WD Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive or Part-Time Four-Wheel Drive?

4WD refers to four-wheel drive. The classifications are as follows: 1. Full-time drive: The front and rear wheels always maintain a four-wheel drive mode, with the engine output torque distributed 50:50 between the front and rear wheels during driving. Full-time drive offers excellent driving control and tracking performance, but it consumes more fuel and has poor fuel economy. 2. Part-time drive: The driver can switch between two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive modes by engaging or disengaging the transfer case based on road conditions. This is the most common drive mode for general off-road vehicles or 4WD SUVs. 3. On-demand drive: The drive mode is controlled by a computer. Under normal road conditions, (front) rear-wheel drive is generally used. If the road is poor or the drive wheels slip, the computer will automatically detect and immediately distribute the engine output torque to the other two wheels, switching to four-wheel drive mode. This system is simple to operate.

What to Do When the Manual Gear Lever Becomes Loose?

Manual gear lever becomes loose due to wear of the plastic washer at the linkage joint between the gear lever and the transmission or loosening of the screws. The following are the solutions and precautions: Solutions: Disassemble the gear lever, replace the new plastic washer and tighten the screws. If it does not affect daily gear shifting, it may not need to be replaced. Precautions for Manual Gear Shifting: The clutch pedal should be quickly pressed to the bottom. After shifting gears, the clutch pedal should be lifted quickly at the beginning, and when it reaches the semi-engaged state, it should be lifted slowly, and then lifted quickly until released. When shifting gears, master the timing of shifting, the clutch should be pressed to the bottom in one step, and gear shifting should also be done in one step. Familiarize yourself with the gear positions and practice the feel more.

Should Brake Pads Be Replaced Along with Brake Discs?

Whether to replace brake pads along with brake discs depends on the wear condition of both components. If the brake pads have been recently replaced and show minimal wear, there is no need to replace them. Brake pads play a crucial role in braking and are composed of a steel plate, adhesive heat insulation layer, and friction material. The steel plate undergoes anti-rust coating, with the coating process monitored by a furnace temperature tracker to ensure quality by detecting temperature distribution. Steps for replacing brake pads: 1. Release the handbrake, loosen the hub bolts of the wheel requiring brake service, and use a jack to lift the car and remove the tire; 2. Remove the tire to expose the brake caliper and disc, applying lubricant to loosen any screws or nuts that need to be removed; 3. Secure the brake caliper with a rope and remove the old brake pads; 4. Open the hood and unscrew the cap of the brake fluid reservoir; 5. Install the new brake pads in the correct position.

Are Car Neck Pillows Safe or Dangerous?

Car neck pillows are not safe. The space for the headrest is actually designed to protect the head in the event of a collision. If there is any protruding object like a neck pillow in the cervical spine area, it could cause a fatal fracture to the cervical spine. Not using a neck pillow is also a measure to protect cervical spine safety. Here is an introduction to mechanical active headrests: 1. Introduction 1: Most current car models are equipped with basic active headrests, i.e., mechanical active headrests. 2. Introduction 2: During a rear-end collision, the headrest moves forward to reduce the distance between the head and the headrest, limiting the relative displacement of the shoulders and head during the collision, thereby significantly reducing the probability of cervical spine injury. 3. Introduction 3: After installing a neck pillow, the relative position of the head and shoulders changes, and if the pillow is too soft, it cannot restrict the movement of the cervical spine during a collision, which may lead to serious injuries. Additionally, since neck pillows are often fixed to the seat cover, they may also restrict the mechanical movement of the active headrest.

Why Does Stepping Harder on the Accelerator Cause a Burning Rubber Smell?

Stepping harder on the accelerator causing a burning rubber smell can be attributed to the following reasons: Excessive Throttle Input: This situation is most likely caused by applying too much throttle during semi-engagement. For manual transmission vehicles, excessive throttle during semi-engagement can cause the clutch plates in the transmission to heat up rapidly, resulting in a burning smell inside the car. Additionally, if the handbrake is not fully released while climbing a slope, the brake pads will continuously rub against the brake discs, and the high temperature generated will naturally produce a burning smell. Therefore, when going uphill, it is advisable to avoid pressing the accelerator too hard during semi-engagement to prevent damage to the clutch plates. New Rubber Components: If the vehicle is new, a slight burning rubber smell under the hood is normal because the rubber components are new and will emit a stronger rubber odor when exposed to heat. This issue will naturally disappear after some use.
