Setting up the 2021 BMW X3 dashboard is quite intuitive. I bought this model a couple of years ago and spent some time exploring it when I first got it. After starting the vehicle, locate the multi-directional button on the right side of the steering wheel and press the menu button to bring up the menu. Then scroll to the settings option and select the instrument display under vehicle settings via the iDrive system screen. Here, you can switch themes—for example, the Eco mode displays fuel consumption information, while the Sport mode highlights speed and RPM with a dynamic visual effect. Brightness adjustment is also in the same menu. I usually set the brightness to medium-high for better visibility during night driving. Remember not to operate it while driving, as it can be distracting. Take your time to try it out after parking, and once you get used to it, the driving experience becomes even more enjoyable.

However, owners still need to pass the exhaust emission test within the specified period (usually 2 years) and apply for the inspection exemption mark at the vehicle management office, motor vehicle registration service station, or traffic police squadron, then affix it to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield. 3. Applicability of Exemption Policy: The 6-year exemption policy for non-commercial passenger vehicles and similar has been in trial since September 1, 2014. Vehicles registered after September 1, 2012, are eligible for two exemptions; those registered between September 1, 2010, and August 31, 2012, qualify for one exemption; vehicles registered before August 31, 2010, must still follow the original inspection regulations for annual review.

Will the Roof Clip Damage the Car?

Roof clips come in different materials, some of which are relatively gentle, such as plastic, and will not damage the car. Here are several situations where problems may occur with the car roof: 1. Edge detachment of the roof lining: Edge detachment is often caused by aging of the fabric sponge, leading to the edges coming loose. Special automotive glue or adhesive products can be used to reattach it. 2. Bubbling in the roof lining: Bubbling is mostly due to frequent exposure to sunlight causing aging, resulting in the inner sponge delaminating. For bubbling in the roof lining, it is recommended to visit an auto repair shop for repairs. Small areas of bubbling can be fixed using thumbtacks. For larger areas of bubbling in the middle, professional repair personnel will need to remove the roof lining and then reattach it.
