The purpose of this worksheet is to turn a broad model-name search into a decision that can be checked, quoted and handed over without silently changing assumptions.
Reject turbo confusion
Some unrelated or low-quality pages borrow Coolray images and turbo/DCT specifications. The official X3 Pro sources reviewed here describe a naturally aspirated 1.5L engine. Verify the engine code and output on vehicle documents.
Record: Save the source, capture date and VIN reference beside this finding so another candidate cannot inherit it by mistake.
Choose manual deliberately
A manual can suit buyers who value mechanical simplicity and local repair familiarity. Confirm clutch condition, gear selection, hill-start expectations and whether the destination market accepts or values that configuration.
Record: Enter the verified value and the evidence owner. If the seller supplied the answer, label it seller-stated until independently checked.
Choose CVT deliberately
A CVT can provide smooth urban operation, but service history and correct fluid matter. Inspect engagement, noise, heat behaviour and diagnostic evidence, and price overdue maintenance before shipment.
Record: Record what was inspected, what remained inaccessible and who performed the check; silence is an open item, not a pass.
Check local fuel and emissions
Octane guidance, emissions classification and calibration belong to a market-specific vehicle. Compare the candidate's manual and conformity evidence with fuel quality and registration rules at the destination.
Record: Note every destination assumption behind this conclusion and reopen it when the port, buyer country or registration route changes.
Plan parts by codes
Filters, belts, ignition parts, fluids and transmission items should be sourced by VIN, engine and gearbox identifiers. Visual similarity to a related Geely product is not enough for a purchase order.
Record: Attach the supporting photograph, report page or document reference and preserve the original language where translation could alter meaning.
Document the decision
Record why the chosen gearbox fits traffic, driver preference, service access and resale. This protects the buyer from accepting a different candidate merely because the exterior colour and price are similar.
Record: State the commercial consequence: accept, reject, reprice or request more evidence, together with the person responsible and deadline.
Close the note with a decision record
Write the selected candidate, rejected alternatives, evidence reviewed, unresolved questions, responsible person and next deadline. If another vehicle replaces the candidate, reopen identity, inspection, cost and destination checks. A copied conclusion is not valid for a different VIN.

Questions buyers should still ask
Reject turbo confusion: what should the buyer retain?
Retain the dated document, image or test result that closes “Reject turbo confusion”, together with the VIN and the name of the person who supplied or checked it. A listing label alone is not sufficient evidence.
Choose manual deliberately: what should the buyer retain?
For “Choose manual deliberately”, write down what is verified and what remains an assumption. An open point may be acceptable, but it must stay visible in the price, inspection scope or handover conditions.
Choose CVT deliberately: what should the buyer retain?
Recheck “Choose CVT deliberately” if the vehicle, destination, route or responsible supplier changes. Conclusions belong to the candidate and dated evidence set; they should not be copied to a replacement VIN.
