The anti-theft screw for the BMW X3 is located on the left side of the trunk. Below are the differences between the BMW 4 Series and 3 Series: 1. Model: The BMW 4 Series is the coupe version of the 3 Series. 2. Design: The BMW 3 Series only has four-door long-wheelbase and standard-wheelbase versions, while the 4 Series includes convertibles, two-door coupes, and four-door coupes. 3. Price: The BMW 4 Series is significantly more expensive than the 3 Series. 4. Engine: The BMW 4 Series has more engine models than the 3 Series. Below is additional information about the differences between the new and old BMW 3 Series: 1. Front Design: The new 3 Series has a flatter front design, indicating better aerodynamics and higher performance requirements. 2. Headlight Design: The "Angel Eyes" headlights have evolved further, with more aggressive daytime running lights. The lower air intake grille has sharper angles, making it less bulky compared to the current model. The fog lights have changed from circular to a long strip shape. 3. Side Design: The new 3 Series has a higher waistline that is no longer protruding. The Hofmeister kink has been redesigned to be more rearward and with sharper angles.
I've been driving a BMW X3 for a long time and have plenty of experience with those anti-theft wheel bolts. They aren't directly fixed to the wheels – you need a special key to remove them. That key is stored in the tool kit in the trunk, inside a small black pouch right next to the spare tire. The salesperson should explain this when you buy the car. I recommend checking if everything's in that pouch because once during an emergency tire change, I spent ages searching only to find the key buried at the very bottom. If you can't find it, try the glove compartment or the storage compartments under the rear seats – BMW designs are very user-friendly. Those anti-theft bolts really work to prevent thieves from easily stealing your wheels, but don't misplace the key. If you lose it, you'll have to get a replacement from the dealership, which is a hassle. During regular maintenance, take a moment to confirm its location – it makes things much safer and more convenient.
