The new BMW 3 Series uses a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, which is also applied in many models produced by BMW. The latest generation BMW 3 Series offers one powertrain option, equipped with a BMW-produced 2.0T turbocharged engine delivering a maximum power of 135 kW and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. Automatic transmissions in vehicles require lubrication oil for proper functioning. Without lubrication, the transmission may overheat during operation. Generally, automatic transmission fluid should be replaced every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers or approximately every 2 to 3 years. However, this interval may vary depending on the vehicle's specific usage conditions. If the vehicle is well-maintained and the transmission fluid shows no significant degradation, the replacement interval can be extended. The dimensions of the new BMW 3 Series are 4734mm in length, 1811mm in width, and 1453mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2920mm.

How Long Can the Zhe A License Plate Quota Be Retained After Selling a Car in Hangzhou?

According to the current regulations of the Hangzhou Quota Center, after completing procedures such as vehicle transfer registration or cancellation registration, the vehicle management office will automatically update the quota within approximately 7 working days. The updated quota is valid for one year, meaning that after selling the car, the quota can be retained for one year without being used for vehicle registration. If the quota remains unused after one year, it will automatically expire and become invalid. Additional Information: 1. Zhe A Regional License Plate: This refers to the special license plate for small passenger vehicles registered using regional quotas. Currently, the combination format for these plates is as follows: the second and fifth digits or the third and fourth digits after 'Zhe A' are letters, with the remaining characters being numbers. The registration process for Zhe A regional license plates is the same as the original requirements in terms of procedures and required documents, except for the different quota category used. 2. License Plate Nature: Whether purchasing a new or used car, using an incremental quota or an updated quota will result in a Zhe A license plate, while using a regional quota will result in a Zhe A regional license plate. If a small passenger vehicle with a Zhe A regional license plate applies for another quota due to reasons such as divorce, inheritance, or allocation, the vehicle will still retain the Zhe A regional license plate after transfer.

Is it necessary to replace a broken car underbody shield?

It is necessary to replace a broken car underbody shield. The need for an underbody shield depends on the driving area. Installing an underbody shield can prevent the intrusion of mud and sand, effectively protecting the engine. It also effectively prevents the intrusion of rain, snow, and acidic water sources, protecting the engine or related chassis components from premature aging, corrosion, and rust. Here are other factors to consider when installing an underbody shield: Reduced heat dissipation performance, which can affect the engine's cooling to some extent. Prone to causing abnormal noises due to prolonged use or installation issues, which may lead to loosening, displacement, and resulting noises. Easy accumulation of foreign objects. Due to certain gaps, foreign objects (such as small stones) may get stuck (between the shield and the engine bottom) or roll on top of the shield, causing noises. More difficult maintenance. For example, routine maintenance of certain car models may require an additional step of removing and reinstalling the shield. Replacement method: It should be done at a repair shop because before installing the underbody shield, some pre-treatment of the chassis is required, such as simple cleaning and rust removal. After lifting the vehicle, align the shield and secure it with screws.

What does automatic lighting mean?

Automatic lighting is also known as automatic sensing headlights. Here is more information about automatic sensing headlights: 1. To facilitate the driver, a photosensitive control system is installed on the front headlights of the car, which contains a light sensor. When the light sensor detects that the external light intensity is greater or less than a certain value, it will send an electronic signal to the ECU to control the headlights to turn on or off. 2. After turning on the automatic lighting function, if you are driving in the evening or entering a tunnel, the headlights will automatically turn on when they sense that the surrounding environment becomes darker. This is more convenient, allowing you to focus more on driving, making driving safer, and it can also avoid some tickets for not turning on the lights in tunnels.

What Happens If Engine Oil Is Overfilled?

Overfilling engine oil can cause oil splashing, which may lead to oil burning in the combustion chamber and carbon deposits. Additionally, if the engine oil is not changed for a long time, it can become watery and lose its sealing function. Here is some information about engine oil: 1. Different viscosity grades of lubricating oil should be selected based on environmental temperature and vehicle condition. Multi-grade oil is recommended for year-round use. 2. For drivers in southern regions, choosing a lower low-temperature viscosity can improve startup performance and allow the oil to reach the optimal operating temperature and viscosity faster. 3. For drivers in northern regions, the low-temperature viscosity should be selected based on the local winter minimum temperature, ensuring the oil has an appropriate pour point parameter.
