The actual measured average fuel consumption of the Borgward BX7 2.0T is 11.08L per 100 kilometers. Borgward BX7 powertrain configuration The Borgward BX7 is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine, which has a maximum output power of 165kW and a peak torque of 300N·m. The transmission is paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The Borgward BX7 features a powertrain combination of 2.0T + 6AT. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Various factors influence fuel consumption, but the decisive factor is the powertrain configuration. Other influencing factors include driving habits: rapid acceleration and sudden braking; tire pressure; carbon deposits in the cylinders; worn spark plugs affecting ignition frequency and strength; fuel quality; and the use of air conditioning.

I drive this Borgward BX7 2.0T for daily commuting in the city. A full tank can last about 400+ kilometers. It consumes the most fuel when running AC in summer, with the dashboard showing around 11-12L/100km. Once when stuck on an elevated road, it even reached 14L. On highways it's quite fuel-efficient though - maintaining 120km/h with cruise control consumes just over 8L/100km. The car weighs nearly 1.8 tons and has AWD system, so its fuel consumption is indeed higher than Japanese cars. Regular throttle body cleaning, keeping tire pressure above 2.3 bar, and gentle gear shifting can reduce consumption by about 0.5L. With its 66L fuel tank and current expensive 95-octane gasoline prices, monthly fuel costs reach around 1,500-1,600 yuan.

I often borrow my friend's Borgward BX7 to drive. The combination of a 2.0T engine with a 6AT transmission averages around 10.5 liters per 100km during normal city commuting. Once, I conducted a specific test during morning and evening rush hours, driving 200 kilometers in the city, and the fuel consumption gauge jumped to 12.3 liters. This car consumes a lot of fuel during rapid acceleration, with instantaneous fuel consumption reaching up to 20 liters after the turbo kicks in. After switching to quiet tires, the fuel consumption increased by another 0.4 liters. Using fully synthetic engine oil helps save more fuel. Some guys in the car club have specifically tuned the ECU, claiming it can reduce fuel consumption, but I didn't dare to try it, fearing it might affect the warranty. It's better not to wait until the fuel light comes on to refuel; keeping a quarter tank of gas is better for the fuel pump.

How many points are deducted for racing on the highway?

Points deducted for racing on the highway are determined based on speed. Details of speeding: If the vehicle speed exceeds the limit by less than 10%, the driver will be given a warning; if the vehicle speed exceeds the road speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20%, a fine will be imposed and 3 points will be deducted from the driver's license; if the speed exceeds the road speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50%, a fine will be imposed and 6 points will be deducted from the driver's license; if the speed exceeds the limit by more than 50%, 12 points will be deducted from the driver's license, and a fine for the violation will be imposed. Legal provisions: Article 22 of the Amendment (VIII) to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China adds an article after Article 133 as Article 133-1: Whoever drives a motor vehicle on the road to chase and race, if the circumstances are flagrant, or drives a motor vehicle on the road while intoxicated, shall be sentenced to criminal detention and also be fined.

Why is the BMW 6 Series GT Unpopular?

This is determined by its model positioning. The BMW 6 Series GT is a large luxury coupe with higher performance and configurations than ordinary BMW sedans, demanding more in terms of sporty handling and coming with a higher price tag. Its target audience in China is inherently small, and coupled with the need for "import," it naturally doesn't attract many buyers. Below is a detailed introduction to the BMW 6 Series GT: 1. Body Dimensions: The BMW 6 Series GT has a body length of 5103mm, and its wheelbase matches the standard wheelbase version of the 7 Series at 3070mm, so there's no need to worry about the spaciousness inside the car. Despite its fastback design, the use of an inward concave design ensures that rear headroom isn't compromised. 2. Space: The trunk offers a massive and flat luggage space of 610L, easily accommodating four or five 24-inch suitcases, with an additional lower layer design. Such a large trunk space means no issues even for a family traveling for over half a month, embodying the essence of Gran-Turismo. Of course, if needed, folding down the rear seats with one click can expand the trunk capacity by three times—exceeding 1800L, roughly enough to fit a mattress.

What lines will result in penalty points if driven over?

Driving over white solid lines, single yellow solid lines, or double yellow solid lines will result in penalty points. White solid lines: White solid lines are most commonly found at intersections. When approaching the stop line at an intersection, the lane dividers change from white dashed lines to white solid lines. The length of white solid lines varies; some intersections have long white solid lines that start far from the intersection, while others have short ones that only appear close to the intersection. Therefore, lane selection must be completed before entering the solid line area, preferably with some distance to spare. Otherwise, if there is heavy traffic and you cannot change lanes in time, you may end up driving over the line. Single yellow solid lines or double yellow solid lines: Yellow solid lines generally separate lanes going in opposite directions and should not be crossed. Drivers making U-turns or left turns often end up crossing these lines. On roads where U-turns or left turns are permitted, the solid lines will change to dashed lines or have a gap, indicating where such maneuvers are allowed. If the lines remain solid without any gaps or changes to dashed lines, U-turns and left turns are prohibited. Performing these maneuvers would involve crossing the yellow solid lines, which is a traffic violation.

What Causes High Water Temperature in a Four-Cylinder Engine?

High temperature in a four-cylinder diesel engine is related to coolant, cooling capacity, and engine load. Impact of Coolant Flow: Typically, insufficient fluid volume, especially insufficient coolant, reduces the heat dissipation effect of the equipment, leading to overheating of the diesel engine. For high temperatures caused by this situation, as long as regular inspections are carried out during daily use, the insufficient fluid can be replenished in time. Impact of Cooling Capacity on Water Temperature: Too much scale deposited in the radiator, cylinder, and cylinder head water jacket reduces the heat dissipation function of the cooling water. Moreover, excessive scale in the water jacket also reduces the cross-section of the circulation pipeline, decreasing the amount of water participating in the cooling circulation, thereby reducing the ability to absorb heat from the cylinder block and cylinder head, resulting in excessively high cooling water temperature. If the radiator capacity is too small or the cooling area is insufficient, it affects the cooling effect, causing high water temperature. To prevent this situation, regular inspections should be performed during daily use to promptly detect any abnormalities and carry out repairs or replacements. Impact of Engine Load on Water Temperature: Prolonged operation under overload conditions can lead to increased fuel consumption, higher internal heat generation, and boiling of the cooling water. The best way to deal with this situation is to avoid prolonged overload operation.

Is it acceptable for the front of the car to exceed the white line in a parking space?

It is not considered a violation if the front of the car slightly exceeds the white line in a parking space. However, if the protruding part affects road traffic, traffic police may impose corresponding penalties. Parking spaces are designed based on certain vehicle dimensions, but there are no regulations specifying that only vehicles of corresponding sizes can park there. Therefore, for longer vehicles, it is acceptable if the car slightly exceeds the front or rear of the parking space, as long as it does not obstruct road traffic. Parking spaces are categorized into two types based on size: Large parking spaces: 15.6 meters in length and 3.25 meters in width, suitable for medium and large vehicles. Small parking spaces: 6 meters in length and 2.5 meters in width, suitable for small vehicles. Parking spaces are also classified into three types based on arrangement: Parallel parking spaces: Standard length of 6 meters and width of 2.5 meters. Angled parking spaces (with angles of 30°, 45°, or 60°): Diagonal length of 6 meters, width of 2.8 meters, with a vertical distance between the two angled lines maintained at 2.5 meters. Perpendicular parking spaces: Length of at least 5 meters (typically set at 6 meters) and width of 2.5 meters, with 2.5x5.3 meters being the optimal standard size. Large vehicle parking spaces should not use angled or perpendicular arrangements.

Why Do You Need to Pull the Handbrake for 3 Seconds When Starting on a Slope?

Starting on a slope requires pulling the handbrake for 3 seconds because, on steeper slopes or with heavier vehicles, the car may roll backward if the brake is not engaged. If you use your foot to brake, you won't have a foot free to press the accelerator, and releasing the clutch without sufficient power will cause the engine to stall. In such cases, pulling the handbrake is necessary for safety and simplicity of operation. Starting on a slope refers to the process of starting a car on an inclined surface, which is a fundamental skill every new driver must master. The technique involves releasing the clutch while keeping the handbrake engaged, waiting for the engine to vibrate before releasing the handbrake, and then gently pressing the accelerator to allow the car to start smoothly. This method prevents the car from rolling backward. While this procedure may seem cumbersome to experienced drivers, it is particularly suitable for beginners. Correct Method for Starting on a Slope with an Automatic Transmission: When parking, press the brake and engage the handbrake. Upon starting the vehicle, release the brake, press the accelerator, and then disengage the handbrake. This method effectively prevents the car from rolling backward due to brake interruption. Alternatively, use one foot for the brake and the other for the accelerator. When starting on a slope, press the accelerator first, and once the car shows a tendency to move forward or the engine RPM reaches a certain level, release the brake.
