BMW engines typically operate with a water temperature between 100°C and 110°C during normal operation, which is relatively high compared to other vehicles. BMW is a German automobile manufacturer that produces a variety of sedans and SUV models. Some of the SUVs in BMW's lineup include the X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, and X7. Taking the X5 as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized SUV equipped with two engine options: a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine. The BMW X5 has body dimensions of 4909mm in length, 1938mm in width, and 1772mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2933mm.

I've been driving a BMW for nearly twenty years, and the normal coolant temperature usually ranges between 85 to 105 degrees Celsius. It heats up quickly within minutes after starting, stabilizing around 90 degrees, with the needle resting in the middle position of the gauge being the optimal state. If the temperature is too low and doesn't reach 80 degrees, the engine might not be properly warmed up, leading to increased fuel consumption. On the other hand, if it's too high and exceeds 105 degrees, it becomes dangerous, potentially causing the coolant to boil or damaging components. Like the time I was stuck in traffic and the temperature spiked, I immediately pulled over to check, avoiding major repairs. BMW's cooling system is quite reliable, but it's important to regularly monitor the temperature gauge, especially during high-speed driving or in hot weather, keeping it within this range to prolong engine life. Make it a habit to check the coolant level every season—it's much cheaper than dealing with repairs later.

Can I expose the car to rain three days after applying the paint protection film?

Yes, it can be exposed to rain. After applying the paint protection film, even if it gets rained on, there will be no impact because water cannot penetrate the film once it's properly applied, so there's no need to worry about this issue. Here are some related points to note: 1. Avoid using high-pressure water guns for car washing: It's important to note that within one month after applying the paint protection film, you should not use a high-pressure water gun to wash the car. 2. Reason: The high pressure from the water gun is too strong, and using it within one month of applying the paint protection film can easily damage the film's adhesion. Additionally, the high pressure may cause water to seep underneath the film.

What procedures are required for transferring an out-of-town license plate to a local one (changing the owner)?

Confirm whether the local vehicle management office accepts the model you are preparing to purchase. For example, some cities do not accept vehicles that are too old or carburetor-equipped vehicles. Prepare identification documents, the original invoice from when the car was purchased, the vehicle's driving license, and the motor vehicle registration certificate of the car to be transferred. The following points should be noted during the transfer: 1. Insurance transfer: For out-of-town vehicles being registered across provinces, it is essential to promptly handle the insurance transfer to avoid delays. 2. Different standards: Different regions have different standards for cross-province vehicle transfers. Before proceeding with an out-of-town transfer, the owner should visit the local vehicle management office to understand the requirements and then make preparations accordingly, as different regions have varying requirements for document preparation. The above describes a general overview of the situation.

What are the main functions and differences between couplings and clutches?

Here is an introduction to the main functions and differences between couplings and clutches: 1. Function of couplings: Used to connect two shafts together. The two shafts cannot be separated during machine operation; they can only be separated after the machine is stopped and the connection is disassembled. 2. Function of clutches: Used to connect two shafts together, allowing the two shafts to be separated or engaged during machine operation. 3. Differences: Couplings connect two half-shafts together to enable effective power transmission. They cannot be disengaged during operation. Clutches are a special method of power transmission that allows for disengagement or engagement at any time during operation, hence the name "clutch." Couplings only serve a connecting and transmission function, while clutches not only serve a connecting and transmission function but also have deceleration and reversing functions.

What is the reason for the windshield washer spraying water but not moving?

Below is the relevant content about the windshield washer spraying water but not moving: 1. Check the wiring and motor: Check if the wiring is loose or if the motor is damaged. Turn off the engine, open the hood, and activate the washer switch. If you hear the motor working, it means the motor is fine; otherwise, the issue may be loose wiring or a damaged motor. 2. Check the wiring fuse and washer nozzles: Inspect the wiring fuse. Check if the washer nozzles are clogged. You can use a thin metal wire to unclog them, but be careful not to break it inside. 3. Pay attention to cleaning: Check if there are any substances or residues on the wiper blades; clean them and check again. Also, see if there are tree sap, insect residue, etc., on the windshield; clean it thoroughly and try again.

What are the causes of weak starter performance?

The causes of weak starter performance: Insufficient battery charge, poor starter circuit connections, or solenoid switch malfunctions can all lead to weak starter rotation. Additionally, issues within the starter itself, such as loose bearings, worn brushes, dirty commutators, or localized short circuits in the field and armature coils, can cause the starter to rotate weakly. Solutions for weak starter performance: 1. Engage the starter while in gear: Manual transmission drivers often leave the car in gear when parked. Forgetting to shift to neutral before starting can harm the battery, increase the starter's load, and potentially burn out the motor. Therefore, it's essential to develop the habit of pressing the clutch when starting. 2. Immediately release the ignition switch (key) once the engine starts to stop the starter and allow the drive gear to disengage from the flywheel ring gear promptly, reducing unnecessary wear on the one-way clutch.

What are the six major taboos during the break-in period of a new car?

During the break-in period of a new car, the speed should not be too high, and attention should be paid to maintenance. The specific precautions are as follows: Pay attention to new car maintenance: Develop good driving habits and regularly take the car to the service shop for maintenance. Avoid overloading, and change the engine oil and filters regularly. Perform regular tire maintenance. Check engine oil and coolant: During the break-in period of a new car, frequently check whether the engine oil, coolant, and battery electrolyte are sufficient. If any shortage is found, replenish it promptly. After reaching a certain mileage (either during or after the break-in period), take the car to the service station for inspection and maintenance, including changing the engine oil and oil filter, and perform a comprehensive check of the chassis system.
