BMW x3 Hybrid Rust Protection

Hi all, I have a question regarding the rust protection of my BMW x3 hybrid. I bought the car new in Austria in 2021 and brought it to Finland. Does the car have any kind of rust protection? Do modern cars need it? Does BMW provide separate rust protection for cars imported to Finland, as they used to do? Also, my car says 3.0, but it only has a 2 litre petrol engine. Is this normal for hybrid cars? Thanks for your help!

The conversation centers on concerns about rust protection for a BMW X3 hybrid, purchased in Austria and now in Finland. Modern cars generally include factory rust protection, but Finland's harsh winters and road salt may necessitate additional measures. It's advisable to consult a local BMW dealer for specific rust protection options suitable for Finnish conditions. Additionally, the discrepancy between the model designation and engine size is typical for BMW, especially in hybrid models.

For your BMW X3 hybrid, modern cars typically come with some level of rust protection from the factory, such as galvanized steel and protective coatings. However, given Finland's harsh winter conditions and road salt usage, additional rust protection might be beneficial. It's best to check with a local BMW dealer if your car has specific rust protection for Finnish conditions. Regarding the engine, it's common for BMW to use model designations that don't directly correspond to engine displacement, especially in hybrid models. Let me know if you have further questions or need more details!
