The reason for the low resale value of the BMW 1 Series is that the resale value of luxury cars itself is low. Models like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class or BMW 5 Series and above normally do not have very high resale values. The average resale rates for the BMW 1 Series over the first five years are: 59.7%, 52.3%, 46.3%, 42.3%, and 38.1%; its resale value ranks 62nd among compact cars. Relevant information about BMW sedans is as follows: 1. Styling Features: BMW sedans have distinctive body styling, with round lamps paired with rectangular radiator grilles forming a unique style. 2. Powertrain: All BMWs are rear-wheel drive, which allows for a 50-50 weight distribution between the front and rear, resulting in better performance during high-speed cornering and straight-line driving compared to front-wheel-drive cars.

How to check the tire pressure monitoring on MG ZS?

You can check the tire pressure status on the tire pressure monitoring display located on the vehicle's dashboard. Here is more information about tire pressure: 1. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Nowadays, many tires are filled with gases other than air. For these tires, the tire pressure requirements are more stringent, while for tires filled with air, the pressure may vary with seasonal changes. 2. Tire pressure is closely related to vehicle performance, such as comfort and load capacity, and also affects tire lifespan. Air pressure is the lifeblood of a tire; both too high and too low pressure can shorten the tire's service life. Low pressure increases tire body deformation, making the tire side prone to cracks and causing flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. 3. Excessive pressure can cause excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the tire body's elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle while driving. In case of impact, it may lead to internal cracks and blowouts. Additionally, excessive pressure accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance.

How often should the power steering fluid be changed in a Lavida?

The power steering fluid in a Lavida should generally be changed every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. The method for changing the power steering fluid in a Lavida is as follows: 1. When changing the power steering fluid, first start the car and use a fluid extractor to remove the old fluid completely. 2. Inject new power steering fluid, then turn the steering wheel back and forth to allow the new fluid to penetrate, which also helps clean the system. For thorough penetration, it is best to turn the steering wheel fully left and right, then slightly left and right. The purpose of turning the steering wheel back and forth is to expel the old fluid from the steering gear, but avoid holding the steering wheel at full lock for too long, as this may cause excessive oil pressure and lead to the power steering fluid spraying out. 3. Once again, remove the fluid from the power steering reservoir and inject new fluid, then turn the steering wheel again. 4. Remove the fluid a third time. The purpose of this repeated process is to ensure the old fluid is completely removed before injecting new fluid.
