The BMW 3 Series is equipped with a Harman Kardon audio system. Taking the 2021 BMW 3 Series 320i as an example, its body dimensions are 4719mm in length, 1827mm in width, and 1459mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2851mm and a fuel tank capacity of 59 liters. The 2021 BMW 3 Series 320i features a double-joint spring strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 156PS, a maximum power of 115kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

I've driven several BMW 3 Series models and found their audio systems quite impressive. The standard configuration usually comes with BMW's basic factory audio system, which delivers clear sound but lacks richness. For upgrades, many models offer the Harman Kardon premium system as an option, featuring 16 speakers and a 600-watt amplifier, delivering deep bass and crisp highs that make pop music sound particularly engaging. However, this isn't a free upgrade - the optional package costs around 20,000 yuan, so it's important to clarify the configuration when purchasing. For young people, I think Harman Kardon is worth the investment - it provides great stress relief during long drives with immersive music. But the basic version is also sufficient, and saving money for a navigation system might be more practical. Car audio technology evolves quickly, and many cars now compete fiercely in sound quality. While BMW's overall audio performance isn't top-tier, its surround sound effect from the driver's seat is excellent, making it perfectly adequate for daily use.

Is the Damage Severe When a Motorcycle Falls Over?

When a motorcycle falls over, it can cause damage to the handlebars, shock absorbers, clutch lever, or brake lever. Hazards of a Motorcycle Falling Over: For some large-displacement and heavier motorcycles, due to their significant weight, falling over while stationary can cause noticeable damage, which greatly affects the appearance. During rides, it is advised not to exceed speed limits, as speeding is extremely dangerous. Motorcycles lack a protective frame for the rider, so accidents at high speeds can result in severe injuries. When riding on slippery surfaces, it is essential to slow down and carefully control braking force. Preventive Measures Against Motorcycle Fall Damage: If you are concerned about damage from a stationary fall, installing crash bars is highly practical. It is also recommended to wear a helmet while riding and, ideally, professional protective gear or riding suits to enhance safety.

What to do when the TC warning light is on?

The TC warning light being on is usually caused by accidentally turning off the traction control switch next to the gear shift lever. Simply turn the switch back on to resolve the issue. If the possibility of accidental switch deactivation by the driver is ruled out, it indicates a malfunction in the traction control system, and the vehicle should be promptly taken to a repair shop for inspection. The traction control system is designed to ensure stable traction under various driving conditions. An illuminated TC light signifies a fault in the traction control system, which could be due to issues such as a faulty solenoid valve, dirty engine oil clogging the solenoid valve filter screen, or wear in the actuator gears and impeller leading to oil pressure leakage. These conditions can all result in traction control system malfunctions. Additionally, a dirty throttle body with an opening reaching 20% may cause the engine control unit to misdiagnose a TC system fault.

What is the new calculation method for vehicle purchase tax in 2020?

Vehicle purchase tax in 2020 is calculated based on the new regulations as follows: According to the relevant provisions of the new regulations, the vehicle purchase tax is calculated using an ad valorem rate method. The tax is calculated at a rate of 10% based on the taxable price of the purchased vehicle. The taxable price for a new vehicle includes the actual payment price and some additional fees, such as transportation fees, loading and unloading fees, and packaging fees, but excludes value-added tax (VAT). Therefore, when calculating the vehicle purchase tax, the tax-inclusive price must be converted to a tax-exclusive price for calculation. If the purchased vehicle is an imported vehicle, the taxable price is the customs duty-paid price plus customs duties and consumption tax. Additionally, according to the relevant provisions of the new regulations, there are five types of tax-exempt vehicles in the new vehicle purchase tax, meaning eligible vehicles can be exempt from the vehicle purchase tax.

What does it mean when a vehicle's registration record exceeds its validity period?

When a vehicle's registration record exceeds its validity period, it means the registration information does not comply with regulations. Additionally, if the six-year exemption from inspection and label issuance procedures have not been completed, it will result in an invalid vehicle registration record, making it impossible to apply for a Beijing entry permit or causing the permit to display as invalid when applied for. Vehicles with temporary license plates can apply for a Beijing entry permit, requiring submission of the driver's identity proof, valid driver's license, valid compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, vehicle purchase invoice, temporary license plate, and other supporting documents. The Beijing entry permit is valid for 7 days, and the previously available long-term permit valid for six months is no longer issued. If an expired Beijing entry permit is not extended, it will be considered void, and the vehicle will still be subject to penalties under relevant regulations when driving within the Sixth Ring Road.

The free toll scope of airport highways should comply with the provisions of the Highway Law of the People's Republic of China, the Regulations on the Administration of Toll Roads, and the legally approved construction of toll roads (including toll bridges and toll tunnels). Whether national airport highways are free is decided by the provincial (autonomous region, municipality) people's governments.
