Robert answered 4 years ago. BMW if taken care of will last a very long time. When I was younger all my BMW's were over 200,000 miles and never had an issue (besides the normal wear and tear stuff). The vehicle you are looking at has the N52 engine in both of them.
Photons in this context do not collide with one another, and so heat transport by electromagnetic radiation is conceptually distinct from heat conduction by microscopic diffusion and collisions of material particles and phonons. But the distinction is often not easily observed, unless the material is semi-transparent.
Energy can be transferred by conduction, convection, evaporation and condensation. All these processes involve particles. Conduction. Is the movement of thermal energy through a material without the particles in the material moving. Glass, wood and plastic are all poor conductors of heat. Heat is the kinetic energy of particles as they vibrate. If we heat the particles at one end of a material the particles at that end vibrate more (have more kinetic energy) and bump into the neighbouring particles which causes them to vibrate more. They collide with their neighbours and so the energy is passes from one particle to another through the material.
