If all doors are properly closed and everything appears normal, the issue may stem from a transmission valve body malfunction or insufficient oil. It is recommended to have the vehicle inspected at a service station. Below is relevant information about BMW: BMW (Bavarian Motor Works), fully known in Chinese as Bavarian Engine Manufacturing Plant Co., Ltd., is a German luxury automobile brand. BMW's vehicle lineup includes the i, X, Z, and pure numeric series (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), along with the M series (BMW's official high-performance modification division) based on enhancements to these models. Founded in 1916 and headquartered in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, BMW's blue-and-white logo reflects the colors of the Bavarian state flag. Over the past century, BMW has evolved from an aircraft engine manufacturer into a globally renowned enterprise group specializing in premium cars, and also producing acclaimed aircraft engines, off-road vehicles, and motorcycles.

What is the S gear in automatic transmission vehicles?

Automatic transmission vehicles' S gear stands for Sport mode. When shifting to the S gear, the transmission can shift freely but with delayed shift timing, keeping the engine at higher RPMs for an extended period. This allows the car to maintain lower gears at higher speeds for longer durations, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. Due to its powerful performance, the S gear is typically used during overtaking or climbing hills. After completing these maneuvers, drivers usually switch back to the more economical D gear, as the S mode consumes more fuel due to increased fuel injection at higher RPMs. The S gear only delays upshifting without altering other operational aspects, inevitably increasing the transmission's load and temperature in the short term, which in turn accelerates wear and tear.

How to Determine if the High-Pressure Fuel Pump is Damaged?

To determine if the high-pressure fuel pump is damaged, observe the following symptoms in the car: weak acceleration, severe shaking, difficulty starting, unstable idle, and in severe cases, engine stalling. Since the high-pressure fuel pump is purely mechanically driven (by the camshaft), the probability of failure is relatively low. With proper maintenance and careful usage, it can easily last over 100,000 kilometers. The fuel pump is a critical component of the fuel system. If the pump malfunctions, the fuel system cannot operate normally, leading to the car failing to start. The high-pressure fuel pump is an additional pump in direct injection engines, but unlike regular fuel pumps installed inside the fuel tank, it is typically located in the engine compartment.
