There may be an issue; nevertheless, the sensation of speed between cars will likely be minimal. The X6 has four-wheel drive, which may affect its initial acceleration. As previously said, a thorough diagnostic is necessary. No competent remapper would undertake a remap without doing a comprehensive BMW software problem diagnosis.

It is premature to proceed with the remap; diagnostics must be conducted to ensure the system's health, since a vacuum problem may be impairing turbo functionality. I would not consider removing the DPF; some years ago it may have been feasible, but current regulations are stringent, making it not worth the inconvenience.

I have just transitioned from a 430d F32 to an X6 40d E71, and I must admit that after a few days, I find myself quite disappointed. I understand they are fundamentally different vehicles, but I anticipated more speed. Would a remap and DPF removal enhance its performance? Perhaps we might consider the removal of the EGR valve and swirl flaps together.

Thank you! I will certainly refrain from using those Chinese tires. I do not want conventional 'tank slappers'!

'Four-wheel drift'?

We used ContiSport 5P tires on Angie's SLK55, which exhibited excellent grip until excessively challenged.

I have installed Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric tires on many vehicles over the last few years. Silent, comfortable, excellent wear rates, and superior traction in both dry and wet conditions.

Simultaneous oversteer and understeer? Is it not more accurately described as moving laterally?

Numerous advice from other users are available (also refer to the approximately three million other tire topics on this forum).However, after an incident over the weekend, I can unequivocally state "no" to the Chinese Autogreen tires. A buddy just acquired a pristine 318i coupe equipped with a pair of these aesthetically pleasing tires, which are evidently brand new and installed to ensure compliance with the MOT before to sale at little cost. They are not outdated inventory, since they have a date stamp from late 2024. He is having them replaced this week. He visited and took me on a drive just to demonstrate their poor performance. I have had many Chinese tires; now, my E350 CDI is equipped with a set of "Sunwide" rear tires, installed by the previous owner for the MOT. To be honest, I intended to replace them, but they are satisfactory.I anticipated his tires to be subpar but acceptable for the price; nevertheless, that was not the case. Intimidating is the term; it was arid and refined. The formidable 318i engine could effortlessly surpass traction even at moderate cornering velocities, and at the very least, it provided enough auditory warning before to losing control.They are, in fact, consistently audible. Those tires have endowed the automobile with the capacity for simultaneous oversteer and understeer! The owner possesses considerable driving expertise and enjoys utilising the vehicle's capabilities, having been well-instructed. However, a typical budget-conscious driver, using the vehicle for family transportation, could easily encounter perilous situations if opting for those tires. It is astonishing that they remain available for sale. Unpleasant...avoid!

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires on my 2019 E63S estate perform well, save for occasional skipping at low speeds on cold tires during winter. However, I also own a set of winter tires that I swap to when this issue becomes excessive.

I am now using Bridgestone tires on my 2016 SLK 300 AMG Sport. They are satisfactory. Relatively quiet and fairly comfy. Nonetheless, I remain unconvinced about their grip levels, especially under wet or slippery road conditions. I recently had a failure of the NSF wheel speed sensor, which disabled the ABS, stability control, and many other unexpected functions, including an alert to reduce speed when I was parked and attempting to raise the roof. Had to deactivate the engine, re-engage the ignition and raise the roof using the batteries. Following a period of rainfall, I exited a roundabout at 3 o'clock, exhibiting a degree of overzealousness with the accelerator. An spectacular 'tank slapper' occurred, which I barely managed to control. No. 2 Son (GR Yaris) advocates for Michelin Pilot Sports; nonetheless, what suggestions do you have for optimising traction? As a lifetime automotive enthusiast, I now drive seldom, averaging around 5,000 to 6,000 miles annually. All feedback is appreciated.

I opted for an economical choice and purchased a piece of indoor-outdoor carpeting that had sufficient texture to prevent items from slipping. It is also readily removable for dusting my camping equipment.

This is peculiar. The instructions indicate that there are two components, with the section nearer to the seat being foldable.

Intriguing. I have seen that the description for the link I shared indicates three items. I am uncertain about my feelings towards it; but, I believe I would need to see one to have a more informed perspective.

Affirmative, I own it. Functions effectively. It consists of three distinct components, which I choose since they are more manageable for removal

Affirmative. I prefer not to remove a rubber tray to reach the storage underneath. Consequently, the OEM seems to be the optimal choice.

Mine included the cushioned cargo lining. I would like the rubber cargo tray. We had OEM rubber cargo boxes in both our 2023 CX-5 and our previous 2016 CX-5, which we no longer own. They were well-fitted and well constructed.

Indeed. I am aware of that. 😃 I am enquiring about the OEM rubber cargo tray.

All CX70 models should include additional storage capacity. By lifting the cover from inside and folding it forward, more room is created; furthermore, a panel located slightly behind the back seats may be flipped for even greater capacity.

Does anybody own this? It seems to include recesses or grooves that facilitate folding, so granting access to the under-storage trays.

Precisely accurate, I would assert. Thoroughly clean the stick, and the portion over the maximum mark will be revealed as just residual oil that was not removed prior to inspection.

A commendable series of YouTube movies by a somewhat eccentric Russian individual demonstrates the precise volume (in litres) of oil required for an engine before the crankshaft aerates the lubricant; he used transparent Perspex sumps for clarity. It is a substantial quantity! Should I locate the videos, I will upload them thereafter.

That does not seem to exceed the maximum level; it only resembles an oil residue. If it were over the maximum, the maximum indicator would also be coated in oil.
