Why Do BMW Tires Use Run-Flat Technology?

BMW uses run-flat tires because they are safe, convenient, and enhance tire handling performance, thereby better ensuring the safety of vehicle owners during travel. Here are the relevant details: 1. According to BMW's user manual, BMW run-flat tires can continue to drive at a speed of 80 km/h for up to 80 km after a tire blowout, meaning there is no need for immediate tire replacement, allowing the driver to reach a nearby repair shop for tire replacement. 2. BMW is a German luxury car brand founded in 1916, headquartered in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. BMW's vehicle series include the i, X, Z, and pure numeric models (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 series), as well as the M series, which is an improved version based on these series.

Having driven BMWs for many years, I'm truly in awe of their run-flat tire design. Even with a punctured tire, you can steadily drive dozens of kilometers—it can be a lifesaver in critical moments. For example, last year on the highway when I ran over a rock and my right front tire instantly lost air, the car calmly allowed me to drive to the service area for repairs. BMW uses run-flat tires primarily to ensure high safety standards, preventing blowout-induced loss of control accidents. Plus, it saves spare tire space, making the trunk larger and more practical, ideal for family road trips. The downside? Slightly more tire noise, but overall it's a worthwhile trade-off. The 'safety first' philosophy gives me peace of mind on every long trip, eliminating worries about the hassle of calling a tow truck.

Does the vehicle license have an expiration date?

The vehicle license does not have an expiration date. However, it requires annual inspection. The supplementary page indicates the validity period of the inspection, which is essentially the deadline for the annual inspection. Therefore, the validity of the vehicle license is also tied to the annual inspection. Vehicle license processing locations: Embassies/consulates and foreign-licensed vehicles should go to the vehicle management office. Other vehicles should go to the sub-office of the vehicle management office corresponding to the residential address recorded in the identity proof of the vehicle owner. For vehicles with a residential address in suburban districts or counties (such as Beijing B-licensed motorcycles, tricycles, low-speed trucks, and wheeled self-propelled machinery), the processing should be done at the local district/county vehicle management station. Documents required for processing: "Application Form for Replacement of Vehicle License Plates/Certificates," identity proof of the vehicle owner and agent, the original license plate if it is illegible or one side is lost, and for replacement of the vehicle license, a standard photo of the vehicle is also required.

What is the difference between tire pressure warning and display?

Tire pressure display and tire pressure warning differ in that the tire pressure display allows you to visually see the tire pressure, while the tire pressure warning is just an alert system that triggers an alarm when the tire pressure is too high or too low. Abnormal tire pressure can occur due to the following reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, an alarm will be triggered if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset in time, it will continue to record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply resetting the tire pressure will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve, monitors the tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. For sensor damage issues, only a complete replacement with a new part is possible.

What to Do If a Mouse Enters the Car Engine Compartment?

First, remove any odors from the engine compartment. Mouse urine is not only pungent and unpleasant, but other mice may follow the scent and enter the engine compartment again. Next, consider spraying perfume or taking the car to a detailing shop for cleaning. Finally, change your parking location to avoid areas frequented by mice and regularly open the hood to inspect the engine and other components. Here are some effective tips to prevent mice from entering the engine: Parking: Park as far away as possible from areas where mice are commonly found, such as garbage piles, ditches, or grassy areas. Cleaning: Regularly inspect and clean the engine to check for signs of mouse activity and ensure the engine compartment remains clean. Inspection: Periodically check the car's front grille for any damage or detachment and address any issues promptly. Installation: Install an electronic rodent repellent in the engine compartment to use ultrasonic waves to deter mice. Placement: Placing rodent repellent bags or mothballs in hidden spots within the engine compartment can also be somewhat effective.

What gear should be used when driving a manual transmission car downhill?

When driving a manual transmission car downhill, you should use 1st or 2nd gear, utilizing engine braking to control the speed, with the foot brake as an auxiliary. Never depress the clutch when going downhill in a manual transmission car, as you need to use the engine to brake the wheels. The function of the clutch is to transmit or cut off the engine's power. A manual transmission, also known as a manual gearbox, requires manually shifting the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. The working principle of a manual transmission: The shift fork changes the gear ratio of the meshing gears, thereby altering the driving torque to suit different operating conditions.

Do I need to go in person for license plate registration at a 4S shop?

You do not need to go in person for license plate registration at a 4S shop. For license plate registration at a 4S shop, the car owner only needs to select the license plate number online in advance, and the rest can be handled by the 4S shop. The details are as follows: Documents required for new car license plate registration: ID card, vehicle qualification certificate, triplicate car purchase invoice issued by the 4S shop, original and duplicate tax receipts obtained after paying the vehicle purchase tax, insurance policy, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and a temporary residence permit if you are not a local resident. New car license plate registration needs to be processed at the vehicle management office. After submitting all the required documents and paying the fees, the vehicle must be driven to the vehicle management office for inspection. The role of the license plate: The main function is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs, and the owner and registration information of the vehicle can also be traced based on the license plate. Some vehicles exempt from inspection can directly undergo an external inspection, which generally involves checking the engine number and chassis number. After the inspection, you can go to the vehicle management office hall to choose a license plate.
