The BMW 1 Series should use 95-octane gasoline. Below are the relevant details: Configuration: Features an M Sport multifunction steering wheel with an exclusive chrome "M" emblem. The base model 118i Fashion trim of the 2019 BMW 1 Series sedan has been upgraded with 17-inch wheels, glossy black interior trim, and optional Apple CarPlay. The 118i M Sport package model, in addition to exterior changes, includes mirror components and optional enhanced ConnectedDrive and Apple CarPlay. Powertrain: The new 1 Series sedan offers two powertrain options, including the 118i with a 1.5T inline three-cylinder engine and the 120i with a low-power version of the 2.0T inline four-cylinder engine. The 118i delivers a maximum power of 136 horsepower and a peak torque of 220 N·m, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 120i produces a maximum power of 192 horsepower and a peak torque of 280 N·m, matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

From my experience as a former BMW 1 Series owner, refueling requires special attention. My 1 Series was equipped with a high-efficiency small-displacement turbocharged engine, and the manufacturer recommended using 95-octane unleaded gasoline to ensure smooth engine operation. If lower-grade fuel like 92-octane is used, the engine is prone to knocking—those alarming clicking sounds—and may also experience increased carbon buildup, leading to higher fuel consumption and, in the long run, reduced engine lifespan. BMWs have high fuel quality requirements, so never compromise by using cheaper fuel. I remember once having to refuel with 92-octane when I ran out of gas, and the car had severe jerking sensations—it only improved after a cleaning at the dealership. I recommend checking the instructions on the fuel filler cap before refueling; it clearly states the recommendation for 95-octane gasoline. Additionally, during winter or long-distance driving, fuel temperature fluctuations are more pronounced, and using higher-octane fuel can mitigate risks. Regularly inspecting the fuel filter is also crucial to ensure the fuel system remains clean and free of impurities. Consistently using high-quality fuel enhances power delivery and improves throttle response.

What are the reasons why BYD cannot engage the gear?

The reasons why BYD cannot engage the gear are as follows: 1. Clutch cable failure: Some manual transmission cars still use cables to control the clutch. The outer sheath of the cable is prone to cracking, resulting in difficulty shifting gears without the clutch. 2. Excessive gear self-locking force on the clutch side: This causes difficulty in shifting in and out of gears. 3. Clutch master cylinder failure: The clutch hydraulic master cylinder may experience pressure loss or oil leakage during use, leading to the phenomenon of being unable to shift gears when pressing the clutch. Extended information: Precautions for shifting gears in BYD F3: 1. Downshifting with a blip of the throttle: When downshifting, people often prefer to use a blip of the throttle with a single clutch on synchronized gears to achieve downshifting. However, this method can easily cause wear and premature damage to mechanical parts. Therefore, whether the car has a synchronizer or not, the method of double-clutching and a blip of the throttle should be used for downshifting. 2. Not coming to a complete stop: When the car has not completely stopped, the gears are still rotating forward. If the reverse gear is suddenly engaged, it can cause gear damage. In mild cases, it may only result in mechanical damage, but in severe cases, if the speed is too high, the car's inertia from the original speed may not have completely stopped, leading to a rollover situation.

What Are the Reasons for No Response When Pressing the One-Button Start?

One-button start pressing no response reasons are: 1. Remote key battery dead; 2. Damage to the receiving module inside the car; 3. Damage to the transmitting module of the remote key; 4.

What is the difference between plug-in hybrid and pure electric?

Plug-in hybrid and pure electric differ in the following aspects: 1. Different powertrain systems: Plug-in hybrids are equipped with not only an electric motor and battery but also an internal combustion engine, where the electric motor serves as auxiliary power; pure electric vehicles have only one powertrain system, which is entirely powered by rechargeable batteries. 2. Charging requirements differ: Plug-in hybrids do not require charging; pure electric vehicles must be charged. 3. Different first letter on license plates: The first letter of a plug-in hybrid's license plate is F; for pure electric vehicles, it is D. The functions of license plates are: 1. To number and register vehicle information; 2. To identify the vehicle's region of registration; 3. To trace the vehicle owner and registration details based on the license plate.

Are All Joint Venture Cars Manufactured Domestically?

Joint venture cars are not necessarily all manufactured domestically. Brand Influence: Joint venture cars typically involve foreign automakers providing technology while domestic companies supply labor. Compared to domestic brands, joint venture cars generally offer more reliable technology. Additionally, the level of brand influence directly impacts a car's resale value, with domestic brands usually having significantly lower resale rates. Vehicle Models: There are also notable differences in vehicle models between joint venture and domestic cars. Currently, domestic brands leverage their local advantage to better understand consumer needs, offering greater advantages in terms of interior space, features, and pricing—simply put, they provide higher cost performance.
