Speaking of BMW tuning, I've been into it for years. The most authentic BMW tuning houses are Alpina and AC Schnitzer. Alpina started modifying BMWs as early as 1965. Their specialty lies in comprehensive vehicle recalibration, with deep optimization of the engine, transmission, and chassis. Even their wheels feature an exclusive classic 20-spoke design – driving one just oozes sophistication. AC Schnitzer, on the other hand, has stronger racing DNA, with notable achievements at the Nürburgring. Their performance kits can transform an ordinary BMW into a track beast. Nowadays, BMW has its own M Power high-performance division, but when it comes to the prestige of independent tuners, these two remain the most respected among BMW enthusiasts.

Does Windshield Washer Fluid Need to Be Diluted with Water?

Windshield washer fluid needs to be diluted with water. Below are the functions of windshield washer fluid: 1. Cleaning Performance: Windshield washer fluid is formulated with a variety of surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically have functions such as wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning and removing dirt. 2. Anti-Freeze Performance: The presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol significantly lowers the freezing point of the liquid, providing anti-freeze properties and quickly dissolving frost. 3. Anti-Fog Performance: A single-molecule protective layer forms on the glass surface. This protective film prevents the formation of fog droplets, ensuring the windshield remains clear and transparent with a clear field of vision. 4. Anti-Static Performance: After using the windshield washer, substances adsorbed on the glass surface can eliminate the charge on the glass, providing anti-static properties. 5. Lubrication Performance: The ethylene glycol in the windshield washer fluid has a high viscosity, which provides lubrication, reduces friction between the wiper and the glass, and prevents scratches.

What to Do When a Vehicle Stalls Due to Road Waterlogging Caused by Heavy Rain?

You should immediately exit the vehicle and move to higher ground. Here are some precautions for driving in heavy rain: 1. Address visibility issues promptly while driving: Using headlights in rainy conditions can create a blinding glare, so switch to fog lights instead. If fog forms on the windshield, turn on the air conditioning's cooling function and direct cold air toward the windshield to quickly clear visibility. If fog appears on the rear windshield, activate the rear defroster to eliminate it as soon as possible. If the wipers are not clearing water effectively, applying car wax to the windows can create a wax film on the glass surface, improving visibility. 2. Navigate waterlogged areas at low speed and high RPM: When driving through waterlogged areas, use a low gear, maintain a slow speed, and steady the throttle. Avoid stopping, shifting gears, or making sharp turns midway. Even in neutral, keep revving the engine to maintain exhaust pressure higher than the water pressure, preventing water from flowing back into the exhaust pipe if the car stalls, which could damage the exhaust system. Avoid driving if the water depth exceeds the center of the wheels or the exhaust pipe to prevent engine stalling. 3. Post-rain inspection: This helps identify potential issues early. Pay special attention to checking for water accumulation in the intake vents near the engine compartment and cabin divider, as well as in the grooves on both sides of the wheel wells. If water is found, rinse the intake vents with clean water and clear the drainage channels to ensure optimal vehicle performance. 4. Avoid low tire pressure: When driving in rainy conditions, maintain a tire tread depth of at least 4 mm to prevent issues like veering, fishtailing, or increased braking distance. 5. Maintain a safe following distance: The braking distance on wet roads is approximately three times that on dry roads. Therefore, always keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead—at least two car lengths, depending on speed—to avoid rear-end collisions. If the vehicle behind is following too closely, turn on the hazard lights to alert them.
