There are very few ready-made cars that meet the requirements in terms of configuration, exterior color, interior color, and displacement. Custom orders generally require a three-month wait. Here is some information about BMW: Introduction: BMW cars refer to vehicles produced by Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (abbreviated as BMW). The main series include the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 series. BMW is renowned worldwide for producing luxury cars, motorcycles, and high-performance engines. Brand Culture: The BMW logo features a double-circle design with the 'BMW' inscription above the circles. The entire emblem resembles the blue sky, white clouds, and a continuously rotating propeller, symbolizing the company's long history and its consistent goals and purposes.

I ordered a new BMW last year and had to wait three months to pick it up, mainly because the supply chain was a mess, and the global chip shortage was a headache. High-end cars like BMW were hit the hardest. I also added custom options like leather seats and a premium sound system, which required the factory to produce them specially, taking more time and effort. Another issue was logistics—shipping delays were common, and I heard port congestion was frequent. BMW emphasizes quality, with strict pre-delivery inspections, which is good but also time-consuming. My advice to potential buyers is to place orders early and stick to standard configurations instead of opting for customizations to save waiting time. With the current global economic instability, these issues are likely to persist for a while.

What is the correct procedure for turning off a vehicle?

First, apply the brake to decelerate until the vehicle comes to a complete stop, then fully depress the clutch. Engage the handbrake and shift the gear into neutral. You may now release the clutch and brake. Turn off all light switches or electrical equipment, and straighten the steering wheel. Turn the key counterclockwise to the end (for push-button start systems, press once to turn off), and adjust the ignition switch to the "OFF" position. Remove the key, unfasten the seat belt, and before exiting the vehicle, observe the surroundings through the left and right rearview mirrors to ensure safety. Only exit the vehicle after confirming it is safe, and try to close the door gently.

Does a Car Need a Break-in Period?

Automobiles require a break-in period. The following are precautions for the break-in period of a new car: Avoid high-speed driving: Try not to let the car's speed reach 120km/h, as this helps maintain the engine's performance and prolong its lifespan. Avoid overloading: Placing excessively heavy objects in the car during the break-in period undoubtedly puts stress on the vehicle. Overloading requires frequent gear shifts, and the constant fluctuation between high and low gears can be extremely detrimental to the engine. Avoid driving in extremely poor road conditions: Driving on very rough roads during the break-in period causes significant tire wear. Moreover, prolonged driving under such conditions forces the engine to operate at high power continuously, which is bound to cause damage.

What to Do When the Car Body is Dented?

There are several methods to repair a dented car body: Use hot water. Hot water can help restore a dented car body. The principle is simple: plastic softens when heated, so applying heat to the dented area can pop it back out. Once the dent is restored, immediately cool the area with prepared cold water to allow the rubber to contract and recover. Use dent repair tools. Sometimes, the force from hot water expansion alone is insufficient to push out the dent, and external force is needed. Dent repair tools can meet this requirement. Push by hand. Car owners can also try removing a screw from the car body, reaching inside the dented area, and pushing from behind to restore it. However, if there are scratches along with the dent, it is necessary to visit a repair shop for repainting.

How to Identify Genuine 3M Car Film?

3M car film can be identified by its smell and markings. The functions of car film are introduced as follows: Enhancing Safety: Explosion-proof performance prevents injuries from flying glass; UV resistance protects against harm to the human body, dashboard, and leather seats; anti-glare function reduces the impact of strong sunlight, oncoming headlights, or snowy conditions; privacy enhancement makes it difficult to see inside the car from outside; scratch resistance maintains clear visibility—high-quality car films have an outer scratch-resistant layer that ensures the surface remains unscratched during normal use, keeping the view clear and thus improving driving safety. Improving Comfort: Heat insulation reduces the burning sensation inside the car; shorter cooling time after parking reduces energy consumption. Enhancing Aesthetics: Decorative function—appropriate color matching can enhance visual appeal.
