我的e90经常打不着车

BMW 3 Series 2009 e90 125000 miles
E90已经换过一个新电瓶,但是经常隔一天就无法启动,我判断应该不是电瓶问题,屏幕上会显示蓄电池放电增加,我想我是不是应该先做一个电瓶注册,再检查启动马达或者电子水泵,各位有什么头绪嘛

Some technical details of my engine

BMW 3 Series 2022 Engine 56000 miles
My BMW 3 Series was bought in November 2021. It has a B48B20C engine, which is one of the B48TU series manufactured in China. I'm just curious about the differences between the cylinder block and the crankshaft of the B48B20D (the high‑power version) and those of my B48B20C. As far as I know, the B48B20A corresponds to the C version (made in China), and the B48B20B corresponds to the D version (made in China). In other words, A and C are the same, and B and D are the same. So the question about the differences between C and D also applies to the differences between A and B. Thanks for your analysis!

Over heating

BMW 3 Series 1997 Sedan  196000 miles
So this is weird. I've not seen this in any vehicles I've worked on. So after replacing main water supply line and thermostat the car is overheating. But with the thermostat out of the car it doesn't over heat. The thermostat is right out of the box. I put it in a pan turned up the heat once it got to the right temp the thermostat opened as it should did that to ensure it was working before putting it in the car. But the car still over heats. And again without the thermostat it does not overheating! I'm confused as why it's doing so.
