BMW M5 real fuel consumption is 14 liters. Power configuration: The powertrain is equipped with a 4.4T V8 twin-turbocharged engine, which has a maximum output of 441 kW and a peak torque of 750 N·m, making it very powerful. The transmission is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual gearbox. Method to check fuel consumption: Press the corresponding button on the dashboard or steering wheel to switch the display to the desired data. For example, AVG stands for average fuel consumption (showing the vehicle's fuel consumption information over a certain period); A represents the total mileage; B is the single trip mileage. Press and hold the reset button to reset the odometer to zero.

I've been driving a BMW M5 for almost two years now, let me share the real fuel consumption figures. The official data states around 11.5 liters per 100 kilometers, but that's measured in test conditions - reality is far from it. During my city commutes with frequent traffic jams, fuel consumption typically ranges between 18 to 20 liters. On highways maintaining a steady 120 km/h, it drops to around 15 liters. However, when switching to Sport mode and flooring the accelerator, it instantly spikes above 25 liters - something you'll need to get used to. That's how performance cars are - powerful but thirsty. Using cruise control and Eco mode more often helps save some fuel. Additionally, using 98-octane gasoline shows better performance, and regular maintenance is crucial. Overall, I find 17 liters average under economical driving conditions to be a realistic figure.

As an automotive enthusiast, I've specifically tested the fuel consumption characteristics of the BMW M5. The official figure of 11.2L/100km is too idealistic - it's easy to exceed 15L in daily driving. In urban stop-and-go scenarios with frequent acceleration and braking, consumption often jumps to 18-20L. Even during highway cruising at 120km/h, it maintains 14-16L. The key point is the M5's powerful engine - like the latest F90 series' V8 twin-turbo design - which prioritizes performance over economy. After studying feedback from multiple owners, the average consumption is around 17L. I recommend using high-octane fuel and maintaining proper tire pressure for slight optimization. While enjoying that exhilarating acceleration, naturally you should be prepared to spend more on fuel.

What is the difference between Auto Hold and Automatic Parking?

Differences between the Automatic Parking System and Auto Hold System: 1. Different working principles. 1. Automatic Parking System: Radar sensors around the vehicle measure the distance and angle between the vehicle and surrounding objects. The onboard computer then calculates the operation process and adjusts the steering wheel rotation in coordination with the vehicle speed. The driver only needs to control the speed. 2. Auto Hold System: The brake management system controls the four-wheel brakes through the extended function of the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB). In other words, the Auto Hold System is an extension of the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) and is controlled by the ESP component. 2. Different functions. 1. Automatic Parking System: Automatically parks the vehicle. 2. Auto Hold System: Prevents the vehicle from rolling backward, especially useful on slopes and during frequent starts and stops. 3. Different system structures. 1. Automatic Parking System: A central processor, a vehicle strategy control system, an image acquisition system, and an onboard distance detection system. 2. Auto Hold System: Electronic Parking Brake (EPB).

How Long Is the Validity Period for the Driving Test?

Here is an introduction to the validity period for the driving test: After passing the subject one test, the vehicle management office should issue a driving skill test permit within one day. The driving skill test permit is valid for three years, and the applicant must complete the subject two and subject three tests within this validity period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the passed subject scores will become invalid. Below are the rules regarding the driving test: 1. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if failed. If the retake is not taken or is still failed, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test. However, subject two and subject three tests must be rescheduled at least ten days later. If the subject three safety and civilized driving knowledge test is failed, the passed road driving skill test scores remain valid. 2. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of rescheduled tests for subject two and subject three road driving skill tests cannot exceed five. If the fifth rescheduled test is still failed, the passed scores of other subjects become invalid, and the applicant must re-register for the test.

What does the triangle exclamation mark on the Lynk & Co dashboard mean?

A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions. Common causes include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault indicator in vehicles. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark warnings: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission fluid level below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, typically indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Tire pressure anomaly: A bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle is the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.
