BMW 3 Series requires transmission fluid replacement every 80,000 kilometers. If you need to change the transmission fluid for a BMW 3 Series, here are the replacement methods: 1. Gravity Drain: Loosen the oil pan bolt and allow the transmission fluid to drain out by gravity. 2. Machine Flush: Add new transmission fluid into the flushing machine, connect the machine to the transmission fluid circuit interface, and under hydraulic pressure, the new fluid will push out the old fluid. This method cleans the fluid circuit more thoroughly. 3. Oil Pan Removal: This is a root cleaning method that also allows cleaning the oil filter. However, due to the excessive labor required for the disassembly process, 4S shops generally do not perform this method.

Where are the wipers located on the Ghibli?

The wipers on the Ghibli are located at the bottom of the exterior windshield, with the control lever positioned below the left side of the steering wheel. Definition of wipers: Also known as windshield wipers, they are devices used to wipe away raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. Due to legal requirements, almost all vehicles are equipped with wipers. Rear windows of hatchbacks and SUVs also have wipers. Besides cars, other means of transportation like trains and trams are also equipped with wipers. Some engineering machinery, such as cranes, also have wipers installed. Wiper maintenance guide: When using wipers to remove dust from the windshield on sunny days, always spray glass cleaner and avoid dry wiping. For other stubborn or hard dirt on the glass, clean it manually. When lifting the wiper blades during car washing or routine cleaning, hold the "backbone" of the wiper blade and gently return it when done. In winter, use an ice scraper to remove ice debris from the windshield first to avoid putting extra strain on the wipers.

Is the rear row of the Envision equipped with double-glazed windows?

The rear row of the Envision is not equipped with double-glazed windows, while the front row features double-laminated glass. Introduction to double-glazed windows: Composed of two layers of glass, it significantly increases the rigidity of the glass, providing high safety and reducing the risk of theft. Advantages of double-glazed windows: Based on green glass, a silver-coated film is added between the two layers of glass, which can greatly increase the reflection of infrared rays, improve thermal insulation, and provide customers with superior comfort compared to the former. Especially in the event of an accidental collision, the broken glass fragments adhere to the intermediate layer, effectively reducing secondary injuries to passengers caused by the glass. Additionally, a comfortable temperature is also an important factor affecting safety.
