BMW has its own dedicated car modification department called M, but it cannot be referred to as a modification factory. It is an independent department directly under BMW. There are three famous BMW modification brands: 1. ALPINA: ALPINA is a car manufacturing company based in Bavaria, Germany, specializing in modifying BMW models. In fact, ALPINA is one of the smallest car manufacturers in Germany. 2. AC-Schnitzer: AC-Schnitzer is the world's largest professional BMW modification factory. Although it was established relatively late, it has the advantage of experience and sales, making it the largest BMW modification factory in the world. 3. G-Power: G-Power is the oldest German car modification company, dedicated to modifying BMW cars since the 1970s. Compared to AC-Schnitzer, which covers an extremely wide range of products, G-POWER focuses more on improving vehicle performance, with extensive modifications to the powertrain being a major feature of the brand.

How Long Does It Take for the Smoke to Stop After Overfilling Engine Oil?

If the engine is smoking due to overfilled oil, it is recommended to drain some of the excess oil to bring it back to the normal level. Generally, if white smoke continues to appear from the car engine even when it's hot, there may be two possible causes: a small injection advance angle leading to incomplete combustion, or a slight water leak in the cylinder liner or water in the fuel. However, white smoke during cold starts, especially in low temperatures, which disappears as the engine warms up, is a normal phenomenon. Black smoke from the car engine can occur under the following conditions: an imbalance in the air-fuel ratio; decreased cylinder pressure; overly advanced injection timing (excessive injection advance angle) can cause black smoke; failure of the smoke limiter on the injection pump can also result in black smoke during rapid acceleration; or malfunctioning of the exhaust brake system. If severe black smoke is observed, other issues should also be considered. Precautions: Choose engine oil based on the engine's requirements. Do not use high-grade oil in a low-performance engine, nor low-grade oil in a high-performance engine. Select oil that matches the engine. Multi-grade oil is recommended as it offers advantages such as fuel efficiency, long service life, and high performance, providing better protection for the engine. The oil level should be slightly below the mark on the dipstick and not overfilled. Excess oil not only increases the crankshaft's rotational resistance but also reduces the engine's output power. Moreover, the excess oil may enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion, leading to oil burning, blue smoke, and increased fuel consumption.

What are the reasons why a motorcycle won't start after being washed with water?

The reasons why a motorcycle won't start after being washed with water may include the following: 1. The spark plug cap is damp: High-voltage leakage prevents ignition, which can be resolved by wiping the spark plug surface dry with a dry towel. 2. Water enters the carburetor along the throttle cable: It is necessary to turn off the fuel switch, loosen the carburetor's lower shell screw to drain the water and fuel, open the fuel switch to flush it clean, and tighten the lower shell screw. Then, press the starter a few times to start the engine. Precautions: 1. Note 1: Car washes may seem to have complete tools and standardized operations, but they often prioritize efficiency over effectiveness, which can lead to issues with spark plugs and various circuits. 2. Note 2: Always allow a hot engine to cool down before washing. Sudden cold water washing of the engine, exhaust pipe, and other components can cause thermal contraction, damaging the oil seals in various parts and leading to engine oil leakage.

What's the reason for the one-button start not igniting and the brake not moving?

Introduction to the reasons why the one-button start does not ignite and the brake cannot be pressed: 1. No fuel in the car: Basic common sense, no fuel will definitely prevent ignition; 2. Battery failure: If the car battery is dead or faulty, it will naturally not ignite; 3. Spark plug problem: The spark plug is a key component of the car ignition system, so if the spark plug does not work properly, it affects the car's performance and efficiency; 4. Excessive carbon deposits: Too much carbon deposit in the vehicle can also prevent ignition, requiring regular cleaning at a 4S shop. Other issues such as fuel quality problems or circuit failures can also cause the vehicle to fail to ignite, and a detailed inspection at a professional shop is necessary for specific cases.

How to Use the Study-to-Reduce-Points System for Driver's License?

Usage of the Study-to-Reduce-Points System for Driver's License: 1. Reducing Points Through Study: Participate in online study (accumulate 30 minutes within 3 days) and pass the exam to reduce 1 point at a time. Participate in on-site study (no less than 1 hour each time) and pass the exam to reduce 2 points at a time. Participate in traffic safety public welfare activities (1 hour each time) to reduce 1 point at a time. There is no limit to the number of times you can participate in the "Study-to-Reduce-Points" system, but once a motor vehicle driver has reduced 6 points within a scoring cycle, they cannot continue to participate. 2. Situations Where Points Cannot Be Reduced: The police remind that if there are no points in the current scoring cycle, you cannot pre-store points through the "Study-to-Reduce-Points" system. Additionally, point reduction is deducted from the driver's existing accumulated points, not as a no-point treatment when handling traffic violations. It should not be misunderstood that "a maximum of 6 points can be reduced per scoring cycle" means increasing the full score of 12 points in a scoring cycle to 18 points. 3. Cannot Reduce Points If Already Deducted 12 Points: For those who have accumulated 12 points in a scoring cycle, the public traffic management department will detain their motor vehicle driver's license. The driver must participate in the study of road traffic safety laws and regulations and take the exam as required. If the exam is passed, the points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned.

Will Leaving the Car Sunroof Open in the Rain Have Any Impact?

If the car sunroof is left open in the rain, it can lead to water entering the vehicle, which can have significant consequences. The specific impacts are as follows: 1. In severe cases: The electronic modules inside the car may get soaked. If not handled promptly and properly, this can corrode wires, connectors, and internal circuit boards, leading to vehicle alarms and functional failures. In such situations, avoid turning on electronic devices; instead, use a mechanical key to open the door and immediately call for a tow truck to take the vehicle to a repair facility. 2. In less severe cases: If there isn't a large amount of water on the floor mats, it's advisable to remove the car battery to prevent electrochemical corrosion, which could worsen rusting of modules and connectors. Then, take out the floor mats, seat covers, etc., wash them, and let them dry to prevent odors later on. After drying, it's recommended to perform a thorough disinfection of the car, as rainwater can breed many germs. Always remember to close all windows before leaving the car to develop a habit of checking them.

How to Use Car Air Conditioning in Summer?

Methods for using car air conditioning in summer include: turning on the air conditioning after air convection, switching between internal/external circulation, and turning off the air conditioning compressor in advance when parking. The details are as follows: 1. Turn on the air conditioning after air convection: After starting the car, open all the windows for ventilation to allow air convection. Wait until the engine speed stabilizes, then close the windows and turn on the air conditioning. 2. Switch between internal and external circulation: This method allows the exchange of air inside and outside the car, ensuring good air quality inside the car. 3. Turn off the air conditioning compressor in advance when parking: Turn off the air conditioning compressor before parking, switch to external circulation and turn on the fan to let the cold air in the pipes discharge, then park and turn off the engine.
