If the door of the BMW X3 is not closed properly, there will be no alarm sound, but an exclamation mark will appear on the dashboard. Advantages: Power: The 2.0T "medium" version can achieve 0-100 km/h acceleration in about 7.2 seconds, which is quite impressive for a nearly 2-ton mid-size SUV. Paired with the ZF 8AT transmission, the power response is swift, making overtaking and acceleration feel confident. Handling: The BMW X3 retains the inherent sporty DNA of BMW in terms of road handling, featuring a solid chassis and a precise steering system. Noise insulation: The cabin of the BMW X3 offers satisfactory quietness. Seat comfort: The rear seats can be adjusted in three levels. Disadvantages: The suspension is stiff, compromising comfort, especially when driving over larger or continuous bumps—passengers may find it uncomfortable. Compared to the GLC and Q5L, the BMW X3 has noticeably less rear legroom, about a dozen centimeters shorter, and the legroom is not as spacious as the wheelbase and dimensions might suggest.

I've been driving a BMW X3 for several years, and there is indeed an alarm sound if the door isn't properly closed. This sound usually goes off when starting the engine or while driving—it's a continuous beeping, accompanied by a dashboard display indicating which door has an issue. BMW's safety system is quite thorough, designed to alert you and prevent potential hazards. Once, I didn’t close the door tightly when getting out, and the alarm sounded as soon as I started the car, prompting me to re-shut the door immediately. The alarm will persist until the issue is resolved, and if ignored while driving, the sound becomes even sharper. This feature is not only safe and practical but also prevents accidents caused by doors accidentally opening. I recommend regularly checking the door seals and latches to avoid false alarms. Overall, the alarm sound is a standard design feature that ensures peace of mind during daily driving.

What does 10w40 mean for car engine oil?

Car engine oil 10w40 refers to the viscosity grade of the oil. The number 10 indicates the minimum applicable temperature of the oil is -25 degrees Celsius, W stands for all-season use (both summer and winter), and 40 represents the high-temperature viscosity of the oil. The higher this number, the thicker the oil is at high temperatures. W stands for winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, indicating a lower usable ambient temperature and better engine protection during cold starts. The number after W is an indicator of the oil's high-temperature resistance. The larger the number, the better the oil's protective performance at high temperatures.
