As a young person who frequently follows automotive trends, I know that imported BMWs are commonly referred to simply as 'imported BMWs,' which refers to those BMW models originally imported from Germany, distinct from the domestic joint-venture Brilliance BMW. For example, the 7 Series sedans or X Series SUVs—many high-end models fall into this category, offering a more authentic driving experience with finer engine tuning and interior details. This differs from the domestic versions, such as the 3 Series or 5 Series, which are more tailored to local adaptations. The advantage of imported cars lies in experiencing the genuine German craftsmanship, though they come at a significantly higher price, including import taxes and maintenance costs. In short, when buying a car, it's best to check the origin label first to avoid wasting money.

From my personal car ownership experience, imported BMWs are those original factory-imported BMWs with straightforward naming, mainly focusing on whether they are directly shipped from Germany or other production locations. Compared to joint-venture models produced by Brilliance, the imported versions usually excel in material quality and durability. I used to drive an X5, and its chassis stability and noise insulation were noticeably better than the domestic version. However, it's worth noting that maintenance parts may need to be imported, which can take longer. Nowadays, when buying a car, I check the VIN code in the chassis number—if it starts with W0 or WBA, it means it's made in Germany, which is the real deal. I recommend comparing market prices carefully to avoid being overcharged.

After years in the automotive circle, I've come to understand that the term 'imported BMW' is quite straightforward—it refers to BMW models shipped directly from overseas to the domestic market, like the i-series electric vehicles or M high-performance cars, which mostly follow this route. It's worth noting that BMW entered the Chinese market in the 1990s and later formed a joint venture with local enterprises to produce regular models as Brilliance BMW. However, the imported versions maintain their original quality, free from local modifications. They often come with higher safety standards and superior handling, making them ideal for owners who pursue the ultimate driving experience. That said, they come at a premium price, and for everyday driving, the domestically produced models are more than adequate. In short, identifying them is easy—just check the origin label on the side mirrors.

As an ordinary driver, I believe imported BMWs are simply called imported BMWs, representing those BMW vehicles not produced in local joint-venture factories, typically high-end or newly launched models such as the 8 Series Coupe or X6. When purchasing, pay attention to the manufacturing origin, for example, those made in Germany are more highly regarded than those from Mexico or South Africa. I also understand that these cars may be equipped with more advanced adaptive cruise control systems, but insurance and maintenance costs could double. It's advisable to check for brand-certified dealerships before test-driving to avoid purchasing parallel-imported gray market vehicles, which carry significant risks. Overall, to enjoy the pleasure of an imported BMW, one must first do their homework.

From my understanding of automotive culture, imported BMW refers to genuine original BMW vehicles imported directly from Germany or other countries, rather than the domestically produced Brilliance versions. Models like the 7 Series sedans or X Series SUVs often retain the exquisite craftsmanship of German engineering, offering agile handling and quick acceleration response, which gives them an edge over joint-venture models. However, I've noticed that many people get confused. In fact, you can distinguish them by checking the production date and origin label on the nameplate—imported vehicles usually come with an import certificate. Additionally, maintenance intervals might be shorter, requiring regular checks to prevent malfunctions. In short, understanding these details ensures a more confident car selection.

More Q&A

Is it dangerous if the car steering gear is broken?

It is dangerous if the car steering gear is broken. The car steering gear is an important component for the steering function of the vehicle. Once there is a problem with the car steering gear, the direction cannot be controlled, which can lead to significant danger. The car steering gear is a precision component, and if it is not properly repaired, it may cause major accidents on the road. Repairing it requires replacing the car steering gear. The correct way to handle a loss of vehicle steering control is: 1. The driver should not panic and should immediately release the accelerator pedal slowly, allowing the vehicle to drive in a low gear, and apply the hand brake evenly and firmly; 2. If the speed is noticeably decreasing, the foot brake should be pressed to bring the vehicle to a gradual stop; if the vehicle is traveling at high speed, especially when the front and rear wheels are not aligned, the hand brake should be used first to slow down, followed by the emergency brake. 3. At the same time, signals should be given to other vehicles and pedestrians about the emergency situation, such as turning on the hazard lights, honking the horn, or making hand gestures. The emergency brake must not be used immediately to avoid causing the vehicle to overturn.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 13th-generation Crown?

The fuel tank capacity of the 13th-generation Crown is 70 liters, as announced by the car manufacturer. Owners who have purchased the 13th-generation Crown can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. It is necessary to use fuel with an octane rating of 92 or higher. Avoid mixing different types of gasoline, as long-term mixing may lead to insufficient engine power, engine vibration, or even body shaking, steering wheel vibration, reduced power performance, increased fuel consumption, and engine carbon buildup. The 13th-generation Crown comes in three models: 13th-generation Crown 2.5L-Royal Special Navigation Edition and 13th-generation Crown 2.5L-Royal Special Enhanced Edition, both with a displacement of 2497 (mL), maximum power of 145 (kW), and maximum torque of 242 (N·m). The 13th-generation Crown 3.0L-Royal-Saloon Navigation Enhanced Edition has a displacement of 2995 (mL), maximum power of 170 (kW), and maximum torque of 300 (N·m). During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually done by observing the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the car manufacturer's marked fuel tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked fuel tank capacity.
