The BMW 3 Series has two fuse boxes, one located on the side of the trunk and the other in the engine compartment in front of the passenger seat. Below are the detailed specifications of the BMW 3 Series: 1. Body dimensions: The vehicle weighs 1465 kg, with length, width, and height measuring 4734mm, 1811mm, and 1455mm respectively. 2.

As a car enthusiast, I remember that the BMW 3 Series fuse box is mainly hidden in two locations. One is in the engine compartment, usually on the right side near the battery or windshield, and the other is under the glove box on the front passenger side. Specifically, it's behind the glove box, and you'll need to remove the glove box to see it. I recommend starting your search in the engine compartment first, as it's the more accessible point. After opening the hood, follow the battery cables to find a black or gray plastic box with a cover labeled FUSE. The exact position may vary slightly depending on the model year—for example, older models might have it deeper inside the glove box, while newer models might place it in the footwell area of the front passenger side. Once found, remember to use specialized pliers to replace fuses instead of handling them directly with your hands to prevent short circuits. Regular inspections can help prevent electrical issues—it's best to check every six months and keep the area clean. If warning lights appear on the dashboard while driving, always check the fuses first—safety comes first.

How Long Can You Delay Handling a Red Light Violation?

After a vehicle runs a red light and is captured by electronic monitoring, the owner can check the violation record on the traffic website and then process it at the traffic police station where the violation occurred within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. Additional information is as follows: General situation: After a traffic violation occurs, it generally takes 3 to 7 days to be visible online or for a notification SMS to be received, with a maximum delay of no more than 13 working days. Caught on the spot: If the violation is caught on the spot by a traffic officer and confirmed with a signature, the owner must process it at the local traffic police station within 15 days of the violation. If not processed within 15 days, a late fee of 3% per day will be charged, but the total late fee will not exceed double the original fine amount.

There is no need to process it within 15 days, but it is advisable not to exceed one driving license's scoring cycle to avoid accumulating 12 penalty points in the next cycle due to not clearing the points in time.

Is it necessary to repaint a scratched bumper?

It is not necessary to repaint a scratched bumper. Additional information is as follows: Reasons why repainting is unnecessary: The bumper itself is made of plastic and will not rust. If the area of paint damage is too small, there is no need to repaint. It is better to wait until there are more scratches or until the bumper needs to be replaced. There are two scenarios for vehicle paint scratches: Minor scratches that do not expose the metal: It is recommended not to repaint. Repainting requires removing the existing paint layer, and the new paint may not match the color of the surrounding area, making the effort not worth it. Although minor scratches may look unsightly, they do not affect the vehicle's performance or safety. Severe scratches that expose the metal: In this case, repainting is essential. If left untreated, the exposed metal will begin to rust, especially after rain, leading to increasing rust damage. Eventually, the rust may penetrate the metal, requiring replacement of the entire body panel. Otherwise, water leakage and worsening rust will occur, leading to higher repair costs.

How to Repair a Worn and Peeling Leather Steering Wheel?

The degree of wear on the steering wheel varies, and the repair methods will differ accordingly. Detailed instructions are as follows: Minor Wear: Purchase a bottle of specialized leather steering wheel repair fluid and apply it to the worn area according to the instructions.
