325li is approximately 6.9L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car varies slightly depending on each person's driving habits and skills. If the driving habits are relatively smooth, the fuel consumption will be lower. If you usually prefer aggressive driving, overtaking, and other high-speed operations, the fuel consumption will increase appropriately. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer: Air conditioning failure is a very important reason for high fuel consumption. If the air conditioning cooling effect is not good, it will increase the fan speed and lower the temperature to achieve a cooling effect. 2. Frequent sudden braking: Frequent sudden braking is the main reason for high fuel consumption in cars. While ensuring the safe driving of the vehicle, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Do not turn on the air conditioning too strongly for small-displacement cars: For vehicles exposed to the sun, it is not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately after getting in the car. First, open the windows, set the fan to a higher gear without turning on the air conditioning, to drive away the hot air inside the car. After the vehicle has cooled down moderately, then turn on the air conditioning.

I've been driving a BMW 3 Series 325Li for several months, and the real-world fuel consumption is quite variable. In city traffic jams, it can spike to 10-11 liters per 100 kilometers, while on the highway, it easily drops to 7-8 liters. The power is ample and the drive is enjoyable, but stomping on the accelerator sends fuel consumption soaring. I prefer smooth driving, and using cruise control on the highway at a steady 80-100 km/h is the most fuel-efficient. Running the AC in summer adds about 0.5 liters to the consumption. Regular maintenance is crucial—I change the engine oil and air filter every 5,000 kilometers to keep the engine efficient, with an overall average fuel consumption of 9 liters combined. I'd advise new owners to keep the RPM below 2,500 and stick to the economical speed range to extend engine life and save money. In the long run, good habits can keep fuel consumption around 8.5 liters, which is both eco-friendly and cost-effective.

Do cars still need a break-in period?

Nowadays, cars still require a break-in period. Here are the methods to use during the break-in period: 1. Pre-heat the cold engine. Properly warming up the engine allows the oil to lubricate the internal components effectively, reducing wear and tear; 2. Shift gears promptly while driving, especially for manual transmission cars. During the break-in period, it is necessary to change gears appropriately to avoid situations like high gear with low RPM or low gear with high RPM; 3. New cars need timely maintenance during the break-in period. Driving a car requires the owner to familiarize themselves with aspects such as the brakes, throttle, suspension, steering force, and gear-shifting logic to better understand the car's performance.

What does the ABS light on the dashboard indicate?

The ABS light on the dashboard indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System. The working principle of ABS is: during emergency braking, it relies on highly sensitive wheel speed sensors installed on each wheel to detect wheel lock-up. The computer then controls the pressure regulator to release pressure from the wheel's brake cylinder, preventing wheel lock-up. The functions of the ABS system are: 1. To prevent loss of vehicle control, increase braking distance, and improve vehicle safety; 2. To enhance the overall braking performance of the vehicle; 3. To prevent wheel lock-up during braking; 4. To ensure the driver can control the direction during braking and prevent rear axle skidding.
