With proper maintenance and correct usage, a BMW 5 Series can easily cover 500,000 kilometers without issues. In China, the mandatory scrapping period for private and non-commercial vehicles is 15 years. However, the newly introduced regulations are more flexible, allowing vehicles to continue operating beyond 15 years as long as they pass the annual inspection. A well-maintained BMW can last at least 20 years. More details about the BMW 5 Series are as follows: 1. Introduction One: The BMW 5 Series is a mid-to-large luxury sedan under BMW, competing with models like the Audi A6L and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The BMW 5 Series has been locally produced in China, with the domestic versions primarily being long-wheelbase models. The wheelbase of the domestic BMW 5 Series is 3108mm, with dimensions of 5087mm in length, 1868mm in width, and 1500mm in height. 2. Introduction Two: The BMW 5 Series is equipped with two engines: a low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 184 horsepower and a maximum torque of 290 Nm, with a maximum power output at 5000-6500 rpm and peak torque available between 1350-4250 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission (8AT). 3. Introduction Three: The high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine produces 252 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, with a maximum power output at 5200-6500 rpm and peak torque available between 1450-4800 rpm. This engine also features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission (8AT). 4. Introduction Four: The BMW 5 Series uses a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.

What does the eco light on the car mean?

When the eco indicator light on the vehicle's dashboard is illuminated, it indicates that the car's economy mode has been activated. Eco is an English abbreviation formed from the words Ecology, Conservation, and Optimization. The Eco mode is further divided into active eco driving mode and passive eco driving mode. Eco mode can be categorized into active and passive types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has its own dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to enable it. When the driver presses the Eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The passive Eco mode does not have a dedicated button; when the dashboard Eco indicator light is on, it merely serves as a reminder function. The Eco system automatically evaluates your driving behavior, and if your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the Eco indicator light. Most cars use the active Eco driving mode, which means they have their own switch button. Therefore, we can enable Eco mode during daily driving. Additionally, Eco mode usually becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the car will prioritize speed, causing the Eco mode to automatically deactivate. When idling or in N/P gear or manual mode, the Eco mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit will prioritize ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the Eco mode will not function in this case either.

Does the Emgrand GL manual transmission have cruise control?

Emgrand GL manual transmission does not have cruise control. Only the automatic transmission models are equipped with it. The relevant introduction to cruise control is as follows: How cruise control works: The cruise control module reads the pulse signal from the speed sensor and compares it with the set speed, then issues commands to the servo mechanism to adjust the throttle opening, increasing or decreasing it to maintain the vehicle at the set speed. How to use cruise control: Press CRUISE to activate cruise control. Briefly press the RES+ or SET- adjustment button once to increase or decrease the set cruise speed by 1km/h.

Which is brighter, xenon headlights or LED headlights for cars?

LED headlights have stronger light. The characteristics of LED car headlights are as follows: 1. Energy-saving: LED car lights are cold light sources, generally consuming less power, saving more than 70% energy compared to traditional light sources; 2. Environmental protection: The spectrum contains no ultraviolet or infrared rays, producing neither heat nor radiation, with minimal glare. The waste is recyclable, pollution-free, and contains no mercury, making it safe to touch and a typical green lighting LED source; 3. Long lifespan: There are no loose parts inside the lamp body, eliminating issues like filament burnout, heat deposition, and light degradation. With appropriate current and voltage, the service life can reach 60,000 to 100,000 hours, more than 10 times longer than traditional light sources; 4. High brightness and high temperature resistance.
