Why is the dry dual-clutch transmission not good?

Dry dual-clutch transmission has the following disadvantages: 1. It has insufficient heat dissipation, making it unsuitable for frequent starts, prolonged low-speed driving, or stop-and-go traffic, which can lead to clutch overheating and even malfunctions; 2. Since it does not use a torque converter and cannot achieve the semi-engagement action of a manual transmission, for small-displacement engines, the dry dual-clutch transmission may exhibit insufficient torque at low speeds. Dual-clutch transmissions come in wet and dry types. A dry dual-clutch transmission refers to a dual-clutch transmission where the clutch plates are not immersed in transmission oil; in contrast, the clutch plates of a wet dual-clutch transmission are immersed in transmission oil.

How long does it take to drive 20 kilometers?

How long it takes to drive 20 kilometers depends on the driving speed. For example, at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, it takes 30 minutes; at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, it takes 15 minutes. The time required to drive 20 kilometers is also affected by road conditions. Driving on congested urban roads versus highways will result in different travel times. For vehicles on the road, the right side is farther from the driver, making it more prone to scratches than the left side. Therefore, drivers need to maintain a certain distance from surrounding vehicles to avoid scratches, which can also effectively save on car maintenance costs. When parking, drivers should leave enough space for other vehicles to prevent collisions, and avoid parking at intersections to prevent causing traffic congestion.

Where is the trunk button on a BMW?

The location of the BMW trunk switch is at the very bottom of the window lift switch on the driver's door. Pull the button upwards for more than 3 seconds to automatically open the trunk. Precautions and features of the trunk are as follows: Precautions: When going on a self-drive trip and carrying a lot of items, it's important to pay attention to how the items are arranged. The principle is 'large items at the bottom, small items on top; heavy items in the front, light items at the back.' This way, during sudden braking, it can prevent items at the back from damaging those in the front. Features of the trunk: The BMW 5 Series trunk comes with hooks, but these small features are often overlooked. They can actually be used to hang loose small items. Hanging these items not only saves space but also prevents them from scattering during sudden braking.

Does different tread direction of tires affect the car?

Tires with different tread directions have an impact. Car imbalance: Different tread directions of tires can cause car imbalance. Due to their different friction coefficients, the rolling resistance is inconsistent, leading to varying tire grip. This makes the car lose balance while driving, creating safety hazards. Additionally, because the tread patterns differ, their water drainage capabilities vary, making them prone to skidding and air leakage during rainy conditions. Uneven heat: Different tread directions can also cause individual tires to generate varying amounts of heat during driving, accelerating wear. It is particularly important to note that different tread patterns can lead to car imbalance. Therefore, when replacing tires, not only should you consider the tire's performance and comfort, but also the balance issue; otherwise, the car may pull to one side. It is recommended to replace two tires at a time to maintain the car's balance. After driving for a while, switch between new and old tires to ensure even wear, thereby helping the tires maintain the car's balance for a longer time.
