BMW G series updated key data are as follows: Manual transmission method: Maintenance key data is stored in the Comfort Access and Start System and transmitted to the identification transmitter. Transmission occurs automatically when specific conditions are met, or can be done manually. During maintenance, this data can be read out using a BMW key reader.

Update conditions are: "Terminal 15 is on", vehicle speed above 40km/h and below 40km/h, data is updated after driving 10km when vehicle speed is below 40km/h.

Last time I went to the dealership for a system upgrade, I specifically asked about this. The BMW G-series key data updates are quite smart. When a new software version is pushed to the vehicle, simply bringing the key close to the steering wheel can complete the wireless update. Sometimes, the mobile app will also prompt you with instructions. After the upgrade, remember to reactivate the Comfort Access feature, otherwise the locking sensor may malfunction. The update mainly involves synchronization of the anti-theft system data and matching of newly added keys, especially for models equipped with digital keys. Normally, placing the key in the center console sensing area for ten seconds will allow the system to automatically check if the key ID is up to date, which is very useful for second-hand car owners. During the upgrade process, make sure the vehicle battery has sufficient charge, as a sudden power loss may cause the anti-theft system to report errors.

Can the buyer report to the police for deregistration if the car is not transferred?

If the buyer reports to the police for not transferring the car, the police will not accept the case. The owner of the motor vehicle should fill out the Application Form for Suspension, Resumption, or Deregistration of Motor Vehicles if applying for deregistration for other reasons. The vehicle management office should process the deregistration within one day from the date of acceptance, and recover the motor vehicle registration certificate, license plate, and driving license. For transfer disputes, the buyer can file a lawsuit in court. If the other party still refuses to transfer, the buyer can apply to the court for compulsory enforcement, and the relevant units must comply. If the transfer of relevant property rights certificates is required, the People's Court can issue an Assistance Enforcement Notice to the relevant units, which must then process the transfer.

In 2020, is only one label required to be affixed on a car?

In 2020, only one label is required to be affixed on a car, and in some areas, even no label is needed. The environmental protection inspection qualification label has been canceled. Some regions, such as Beijing, have begun piloting the cancellation of the compulsory traffic insurance label, replacing it with electronic policies. Starting from April 25, 2020, the electronicization of inspection labels has been implemented in 12 provinces and regions including Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Hubei. The latest policy indicates that the vehicle inspection and environmental protection inspection labels have been merged into one. The vehicle exhaust inspection will proceed as usual, and as long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection, there is no need to obtain the environmental protection label separately. The procedures for vehicle annual inspection are as follows: 1. The vehicle owner needs to fill out the annual vehicle inspection form and send the vehicle to the designated location for inspection on the date specified by the local vehicle management office. If the vehicle passes the inspection, the vehicle management authority will affix a qualified seal on the driving license and the annual vehicle inspection form; 2. For out-of-town inspections, the vehicle owner needs to submit an application, which will be forwarded by the original vehicle management office to the local vehicle management office for inspection. The inspection results will then be notified to the original vehicle management office; 3. For vehicles that cannot undergo the annual inspection on time due to special circumstances, an application for extension should be submitted to the local vehicle management office in advance.
