BMW 5 Series requires fuel with an octane rating of 95 or higher. The fuel grade is classified based on the octane number, which indicates the fuel's anti-knock properties. Iso-octane has excellent anti-knock performance and is assigned an octane value of 100, while n-heptane has poor anti-knock properties and is prone to engine knocking in gasoline engines, thus assigned an octane value of 0. Higher fuel grades offer better anti-knock performance, and the appropriate fuel grade should be selected according to the engine's compression ratio. The BMW 5 Series is a mid-to-large luxury sedan under the BMW brand, with dimensions of 4998mm in length, 1901mm in width, and 1559mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3108mm. The seats and door interiors of this vehicle are adorned with premium Dakota leather, exuding an elegant and sophisticated ambiance. Additionally, it features an 8-inch screen mounted on the back of the front seats and a refrigerator compartment in the center of the rear seats.

How Far Can a Car Go After the Fuel Gauge Reaches the Red Line?

When the fuel gauge needle reaches the red line, the car's fuel tank typically has about 10% of fuel remaining, allowing it to travel an average of 20-60 kilometers further. Here is some relevant information about the car fuel gauge: When the fuel gauge indicator light comes on: When the gasoline fuel gauge indicator light comes on and reaches the red zone, there is usually 15%~20% of the total fuel capacity remaining. The distance you can travel depends on calculations. If the fuel gauge light comes on while driving on a highway, there is no need to worry, as highway service areas are generally spaced about 40 kilometers apart, with a maximum distance of no more than 60 kilometers. How to handle the fuel gauge indicator light coming on: After the fuel gauge light comes on, even a compact car can continue driving to the next service area for refueling. If the distance is too long, you can reduce your speed and stay in the middle lanes to maintain an economical speed, which will further reduce fuel consumption. In case of a service area being closed, you can exit the highway at the nearest exit, where gas stations are usually located within about one kilometer of the entrance. Maintain a steady speed, avoid sudden braking, and do not drive too slowly, as low speeds also consume fuel. Control your speed and drive smoothly. According to tests, for low-displacement cars (1.3-1.8L), the most fuel-efficient speed is between 45-65 km/h, while for cars with 2.0-3.0L engines, the most fuel-efficient speed is between 55-75 km/h. Turn off all electrical devices in the car, such as navigation, radio, music, and air conditioning. Close the windows to reduce wind resistance, which can help save fuel.

What is the reason for the inconsistency between the two needles on the air pressure gauge?

It may be due to damage in one of the two circuits. Below is the relevant introduction: Automotive air pressure gauge: An air pressure gauge is an instrument used to measure air pressure, with various classifications. Among them, a tire pressure gauge is a type of air pressure gauge specifically for tires. It consists of a gauge head, piston, gauge body, scale, main spring, etc. The gauge head has only one pressure measurement port, featuring a simple structure, small range, high accuracy, and ease of use, making it suitable for measuring tire pressure on small vehicles such as micro cars and motorcycles. Working principle: Inside the main tube of the tire pressure gauge, there is a well-sealed piston, and the interior of the tube is very smooth. The piston is located at one end of the tube, and the plug is at the other end. A compression spring connects the piston and the plug, used to push the piston toward the left side of the tube.

How many pages does a vehicle license have?

A vehicle license consists of 2 pages in total, with the second page being the duplicate copy. The duplicate copy is referred to as the "supplemental page" and is used by the police to record relevant information and data. Below is related information: Driving License: The full name of the driving license is the Motor Vehicle Driving License, also known as a "driver's license," which is the required certification for legally operating motor vehicles. Application Location: Applicants residing in their registered permanent residence should apply at their registered location. Applicants residing temporarily can apply at their temporary residence location (in Ningbo, a temporary residence permit valid for at least 3 months is required for application). Active military personnel (including armed police) should apply at their stationed location. Foreign nationals should apply at their place of residence. For applying to add additional permitted vehicle types, the application should be submitted at the location where the current motor vehicle driving license was issued.

What is the reason for an electric tricycle not powering on when unlocked?

It may be due to the controller throttle. Below is the relevant introduction: Electric tricycle: An electric tricycle (Electrically-operated-tricycle) is a three-wheeled transport vehicle powered by batteries and driven by motors, used for carrying goods or passengers. Electric tricycles adopt tubular large-capacity, left-right lined, deep-discharge, traction-type batteries that can meet the requirements of continuous discharge during prolonged operation. The batteries can normally be used for two years without capacity reduction. Motor: The electric tricycle motor uses a DC series-wound traction-type brushed or brushless motor. The motor is equipped with a speed-regulating and power-boosting device internally, which is not easily damaged under normal use, ensuring strong power output.

Why Did Britain Sell the Spey Engine?

Because the Chinese helped the British improve engine technology, as a gesture of gratitude and for mutual benefit, here is the relevant introduction: Spey Engine: The Spey engine is a relatively advanced turbofan engine developed by Britain in the mid-1960s. Compared to the domestic turbojet engines at the time, it featured greater thrust, lower fuel consumption, better maintainability, and a longer service life. Parameters: The Spey MK202 is a relatively advanced turbofan engine developed by Britain in the mid-1960s. It measures 5025 mm in length, 1093 mm in diameter, weighs 1850 kg, with a maximum thrust of 54.5 kN, an afterburner thrust of 91.1 kN, and a thrust-to-weight ratio of 5.05.
