The lifespan of BMW run-flat tires is approximately 5 years. Run-flat tires, technically known as pressure-retaining tires with the English abbreviation RSC, consist of an outer tire, a standard inner tube, a spare inner tube, a steel rim, a gas generator, a pressure sensor, and a control unit. Taking the BMW 530 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5047mm, width 1860mm, height 1491mm, with a wheelbase of 3108mm and a fuel tank capacity of 68 liters. The BMW 530 is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 185 kilowatts at 6500 rpm, and a maximum torque of 350 Newton meters at 4800 rpm.

What unit can a sedan travel 70 per hour?

A sedan can travel 70 kilometers per hour, and the distance it travels per hour is called speed, which can be written as 70 km/h. Definition of speed: It can be understood that the distance traveled per hour is called speed; then, according to the representation method of speed, it is separated by a slash, with the distance traveled per unit time written on the left side of the slash and the time unit written on the right side. Based on this, the speed of the car can be written and read out. Method for judging speed: The distance from the car in front is determined by visually estimating the area of the front part of the vehicle blocking the rear part of the car in front. Different car models have different front views, so the standards for judging the distance from the car in front vary depending on the car model. It needs to be determined according to the actual situation of your own vehicle, but the judgment method is consistent.

Do I need to turn on AC when using the heater?

You don't need to turn on AC when using the heater. Because what you need in winter is warm air, which is hot air. Function of the heater: It generates heat by converting the heat from the coolant in the engine. For new energy vehicles, the heat is provided by a heating module. AC is the air conditioning cooling button. Pressing this button will start the air conditioning compressor. On some models, the indicator light on the button will illuminate, while others will display a prompt on the central control screen. Precautions for using the heater: During winter use of the air conditioning, since most vehicles now use automatic air conditioning, you may notice that the AC function is automatically activated after turning on the air conditioning. The reason for this is that when the driver sets the air outlet direction to the windshield, the defrosting function will be activated.

Is it necessary to repair scratches on the bottom of the bumper?

It is not necessary to repair scratches on the bottom of the bumper. The bumper itself is made of plastic, so when it gets scratched, even if the primer is exposed, it will not cause the paint to rust. Toothpaste repair method: When the front bumper is scratched, using toothpaste for repair is very effective because toothpaste itself has a polishing function, which is equivalent to applying a layer of wax to your car, thus achieving a good repair effect. Touch-up paint pen repair method: Using a touch-up paint pen can cover up some small and shallow scratches, making the marks less noticeable. Although there is still a certain gap compared to the original factory paint (color difference), and the durability is certainly not comparable to the original factory paint—after all, the touch-up pen is only for local paint repair—the overall effect is still relatively good.

Does turning on the AC while using the heater consume more fuel?

Using the car heater with the AC turned off does not consume additional fuel. Function of the heater: The warm air comes from the heat generated by the engine during operation: When the engine's cooling system dissipates heat from the engine, the dissipated heat is blown into the car by a fan to form warm air; when the warm air is not in use, the fan stops running, and the warm air outlet closes, allowing the dissipated heat to be completely released into the atmosphere. Therefore, the warm air from the car is a form of waste heat recovery and does not consume gasoline. Function of the AC: Cold air is formed by pressurizing the refrigerant through the compressor, causing it to liquefy and then vaporize, absorbing a large amount of heat from the air; when the cold air is turned on, the compressor pulley drives the compressor to work, increasing the engine load and consuming a certain amount of fuel.

Can a car run after removing the battery when it is started?

After starting the car, removing the battery will prevent it from running. Reasons why removing the battery prevents the car from running: The car battery is not only responsible for starting the engine but also provides power to other electrical devices in the car. Once removed, many electrical components such as the dashboard, headlights, and horn will stop functioning, and the car will not be able to move. Principle of the car battery: It has a certain self-discharge rate, meaning it naturally loses some charge even when no electrical components are connected. During long-term parking, if the car has power-consuming devices like anti-theft alarms or dashcams, the battery consumption will be even greater, potentially leading to a dead battery. Therefore, it is recommended to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid severe battery drain. However, removing the negative terminal can also have certain consequences.

Is Brake Fluid Moisture Content Testing a Scam?

Under normal circumstances, the moisture content in brake fluid is below 1%. If it is too high, it will lower the boiling point of the brake fluid, causing the fluid to boil and vaporize during high-intensity braking, leading to brake failure. When the water content in the brake fluid reaches 3%, the boiling point of the brake fluid will decrease by 25%. If the moisture content reaches 7-8%, the boiling point of the brake fluid will drop by more than 50%. Here are some details about brake fluid: Introduction to Brake Fluid: Brake fluid is also known as hydraulic brake fluid. The moisture content in brake fluid has a specific limit, and when it exceeds this limit, the brake fluid must be replaced promptly. Brake fluid naturally absorbs moisture, and water from the air can seep into the brake fluid reservoir through the vent hole. Over time, this can cause the moisture content in the brake fluid to exceed safe levels. Functions of Brake Fluid: It effectively lubricates the moving parts of the braking system, extending the service life of brake calipers and rubber seals.
