I've been driving a BMW for several years, and I must say the sound system is absolutely amazing. The standard configuration usually includes a Harman Kardon audio system, especially in models like the 5 Series or X5, which comes with 16 speakers. The sound is rich and clear, making rock or classical music sound particularly powerful. When I turn on the music while driving, the whole atmosphere changes, and even traffic jams don't feel as frustrating. Some entry-level versions might not have this premium setup, but you can upgrade to Bowers & Wilkins for an even more immersive sound experience—it feels like sitting in a concert hall. I think BMW chose this audio system for its reliability and music reproduction quality, which is perfect for long drives, and it holds up well over time. If you're considering buying a new car, definitely test out the sound system—it even lets you customize bass and treble settings. All in all, BMW has put a lot of thought into its audio system, enhancing the joy of driving.

What is the model of the Tayron's transmission?

Tayron is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with the model code DQ500. Compared to dry-type transmissions, the wet-type is more advanced and durable. More details about the wet-type transmission are as follows: 1. The wet-type transmission is hydraulically actuated, which introduces a slight delay. DSG (Direct-Shift-Gearbox) translates to 'Direct-Shift Gearbox' in Chinese. 2. The DSG transmission is designed to meet consumers' dual demands for driving sensation and fuel efficiency, providing the best choice for drivers who prefer manual transmissions. Engines equipped with DSG can immediately generate traction and greater flexibility due to rapid gear shifts, resulting in faster acceleration times compared to manual transmissions. 3. The dual-clutch transmission combines the advantages of manual and automatic transmissions. Instead of using a torque converter, it employs two sets of clutches that alternate to achieve seamless gear shifts. 4. Without a torque converter, the engine's power can be fully utilized. The alternating operation of the two clutch sets ensures extremely short shift times, minimizing engine power interruption. Due to more direct shifts and reduced power loss, fuel consumption can be lowered by over 10%.
