Last month, I just helped a friend choose a brand-new BMW 3 Series and personally visited the dealership to view all color options. The display colors at the store were truly diverse: the basics include Alpine White, pure and classic while also being dirt-resistant; Black Sapphire Metallic is shiny and cool but prone to showing scratches; Portimao Blue Metallic was my favorite sporty style, especially eye-catching in sunlight; Melbourne Red Metallic carries a touch of luxurious vibrancy; the gray series includes Mineral Gray and Skyscraper Gray, understated and steady, suitable for business professionals; this year also added San Remo Green Metallic, offering a fresh, eco-modern vibe. I recommend bringing friends or family along during the test drive to see the colors, as they change significantly under different lighting conditions—for example, black looks brighter in sunlight but appears smaller at night. Maintenance-wise, darker paints require frequent washing and waxing, while lighter colors are easier to care for; in terms of resale value, white ranks highest, but the more distinctive blue and red make driving more enjoyable. Choosing a color isn’t just about appearance—it also affects mood and usage costs, so it’s essential to experience the actual tones in person before deciding.

As a practical car user, I prioritize the functionality and impact of color in daily life. The new BMW 3 Series offers a wide range of color options, including Alpine White, Black Sapphire Metallic, Portimao Blue, Melbourne Red, and Mineral Grey. Among these, white is the most practical—it doesn’t show dirt easily and helps save on air conditioning costs. Black, while elegant, requires frequent washing as it quickly looks dirty in urban, dusty environments. Blue and red are stylish but have lower resale value. Grey shades like Skyscraper Grey strike a balance I recommend—they’re both sophisticated and dirt-resistant, making them ideal for office workers. Maintenance-wise, metallic paint requires regular polishing to prevent oxidation and is more expensive than standard paint. Unique colors like San Remo Green, though eye-catching, may cost more for touch-ups. Environmental factors also matter: light-colored cars cool faster in tropical climates, while dark colors absorb heat better in colder regions. In short, don’t just choose a color based on first impressions—consider long-term use and resale value for a smarter decision.

Is it necessary to shift to N gear when having Auto Hold?

Cars equipped with the Auto Hold function do not require shifting to N gear during temporary stops. Auto Hold is essentially an automatic braking feature. When waiting at traffic lights, there is no need to engage the handbrake or electronic parking brake, and consequently, there's no need to change gears. However, in situations of severe traffic congestion where the vehicle remains stationary for extended periods, it is advisable to deactivate the Auto Hold function and switch to manual control by shifting to neutral (N gear). This practice helps protect the transmission and engine, thereby extending their service life. The English term for Auto Hold is 'AutoHold,' and its button is typically marked with a capital letter 'A' or the full English spelling. It relies on an intelligent braking system to function.

Matching RPM and Gears in Manual Transmission?

Manual transmission vehicles require proper gear-speed synchronization as follows: 1st gear at 15 km/h; 2nd gear at 25 km/h; 3rd gear at 35 km/h; 4th gear at 55 km/h; 5th gear at 65 km/h or above. Manual transmission, also called manual gearbox, represents a fundamental type of automotive transmission system. Its primary function is to alter the gear ratio (also known as the torque ratio) by utilizing larger-diameter low-gear wheels based on the lever principle's torque mechanism, thereby amplifying engine torque to initiate vehicle movement. A manual transmission consists of three core components: the gear mechanism, transmission housing, and shift linkage assembly.
