Does the BMW 3 Series have tire pressure monitoring?
2 Answers
The BMW 3 Series is equipped with tire pressure monitoring. The tire pressure monitoring system in the BMW 3 Series is a direct type, which can display the tire pressure directly, allowing the driver to monitor the tire pressure at any time. There is also a passive type of tire pressure monitoring system, which cannot display the tire pressure but will illuminate a warning light to alert the driver when the tire pressure is abnormal. Tire pressure should not be too high or too low. If the tire pressure is too high, it will reduce the contact area between the tire and the ground, decreasing traction. If the tire pressure is too low, the tire may experience wave-like deformation during high-speed driving, which can shorten the tire's lifespan and increase the risk of a blowout. The BMW 3 Series has body dimensions of 4734 mm in length, 1811 mm in width, and 1455 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2920 mm, and it features a rear-wheel-drive configuration.
I've been driving a BMW 3 Series for several years, and honestly, the tire pressure monitoring system is definitely a standard feature. You can often see the warning icon on the dashboard while driving. Last time on a long trip, the system suddenly alerted me to low tire pressure. I pulled over and found a small leak, which I fixed in time to avoid an accident. This system uses sensors to monitor each tire's status in real-time, with data directly transmitted to the central control screen—convenient and safe. I remind everyone to regularly check the sensor batteries, which need replacement about every 5 years. The cost is low but ensures the system's accuracy. BMW has done a thoughtful job here, especially in reducing the risk of blowouts during high-speed driving. I feel that an extra layer of protection is better than anything else.
