Thank you for your response. I have other enquiries. Did you retain the run-flat tires? Did you install them yourself or consult a BMW or suspension specialist? Thank you.

Thank you, Kenjibb. I may consider such option, although I am uncertain whether to prioritise the Bilstein first.

Greetings Has anybody replaced the stock M Sport suspension dampers on an F36 435 with Bilstein dampers? I believe this will enhance the ride quality, even with run-flat tires. I appreciate the automobile, although the trip frustrates me. Salutations

Indeed, doing the task alone incurs no cost (the future actions of others remain uncertain). Considering it is complimentary, why not go with the upgrade if you are not using Kia navigation? Any new features will be implemented if introduced, perhaps enhancing the experience. For instance, a prior initiative that enhanced the audio system. Ultimately, the decision rests with you. You are not required to

If you do not pay for them, you will not get them after the first two. However, you are therefore overlooking features such as the ability to disable speed warnings with voice activation (in the most recent version).

I communicated with them today; they indicated that they are replacing the entire fuel system. I have demanded documentation verifying the components installed and confirming that they are authentic BMW parts, as well as an extended warranty; otherwise, they may retain the vehicle.

Thank you for your clarification. I may insist on having it delivered to my local BMW store to resolve the issue and observe the outcome. Thank you one more.

I am uncertain; the individual from AA indicated that the rear pump was functioning OK, but suggested that the front pump might be the potential problem. I communicated with the dealership from whence I acquired it (Ford), as it was traded in. They indicated that they are expecting wire maps from BMW, the significance of which is unclear. Which gasoline pump operates at low pressure and which operates at high pressure? This is entirely unfamiliar to me.

I recently purchased a 2018 X5 with 82,000 miles. One week after the acquisition, it failed to start. The AA was summoned and suggested a potential fuel pump issue. It was returned to the garage from where I got it (not BMW), and it has now been with them for four days without a definitive diagnosis. I believe that mileage is insufficient for a fuel pump issue. Has anyone encountered a similar experience? Are there any potential aftereffects or issues associated with replacing a gasoline pump, should that be the underlying problem? Any assistance or information would be appreciated.

It is equipped with KAFAS, enabling it to interpret traffic signs effectively. The absence of Adaptive Cruise Control may be the problem.

My vehicle was in the dealership for many days, and I received a Mini Cooper S as a loaner. The loan vehicle's Speed Assist displayed the present speed restriction, the forthcoming speed limit, and the distance to the commencement of that limit. I am unable to locate that setting or a comparable option on my M240; do you have any suggestions?

Mercedes is the latest company to revise its 2024 projections downward.

Delphi Automotive sought Chapter 11 protection due to their agreement to absorb surplus labour from GM, which subsequently led to unsustainable pension and healthcare expenditures after extensive layoffs. -
By taking a service plan at this time, you will get two A (minor) services which primarily include an oil and filter change and a thorough inspection of various components, in addition to one B (major) service. In addition, there are other items that need attention during the 4-year service for your diesel automobile, including the fuel filter, air filter, pollen/cabin filter, and brake fluid (which has to be replaced every 2 years according to MB's recommendations). Is a gearbox fluid change included in the service plan as stated in the owner's manual? In my opinion, the first response would be to approach a local independent service provider that has expertise in handling Star systems and is capable of updating the DSR (digital service record). It would be appropriate to enquire about the cost associated with obtaining the necessary updates. Seeking a recommendation for a reputable independent service provider in or around Chester would be much appreciated.

I have just returned from a vacation in a rural cottage in the Dordogne area. The individual in charge said that there is a noticeable absence of wasps, bees, and butterflies this year. Indeed, he is correct. There was indeed an absence of it. It is really concerning.

The new premium seems much less expensive, considering that you are insuring something with a value that is 27 times higher, for just thrice the cost. It might be considered a great deal!

Am I the only one who thinks that the C63 has an attractive appearance, but the back spoiler seems like it was added as an afterthought, like something from a Meccano set?

Shiyardit, please provide an update on your progress.

Jollyno, you are a star!

Friend I would also modify the thermostat. It seems that VAG manufactures them using chocolate. Wishing you success!

A few years ago, there was a blanking plate installed on the EGR valve. I am curious whether there might be a leakage occurring via that connection. I will investigate more.

That seems logical. I was mostly concerned about the possibility of a defect in the turbocharger itself. Now I need to determine whether it is worth investing on a thorough analysis and welding for a vehicle that is 11 years old and valued at £2000.

Greetings, everyone. I own a 2013 Kia with a 1.6 CRDI engine and 4 tech features. When operating at around 1600rpm, there is a narrow range of engine revolutions when I get a distinct noise like a rattling sound. (Excluding all the people, specifically referring to the automobile) Based on my perception, there seems to be an exhaust blast occurring simultaneously with the turbo spooling up. However, I have some apprehension that this might be attributed to the turbo bearings vibrating. It is quite frustrating since the roads in my area are mostly designed for driving, and this issue occurs when I reach a speed of around 58mph when in 6th gear. Consequently, it becomes a persistent source of irritation when I attempt to maintain a speed of 60mph on winding and steep roads. Most of the time, I find myself driving in 5th gear to maintain high engine revolutions and, as a result, I likely use a significant amount of diesel unnecessarily. Has anybody else experienced this?

Deciding between rebuilding or replacing - facing a dilemma
Barringer replied to Samuraisaint's topic in General
Based on the events that have occurred, it seems impractical to invest in hiring someone to repair the engine. It seems to be a problematic situation. £3750 may not provide significant value for a new engine. However, if the vehicle is superb in all other aspects, it might perhaps justify the cost. In my opinion, the most favourable course of action would be to sell the car in its current condition, specifically for spare parts or repairs. Then, you can use the funds obtained from the sale, together with an additional £3,000 to £4,000, to purchase a new vehicle. -
According to the instructions in my handbook, there should be a method to activate these functions in the settings. However, either my device does not have this option, or I am unable to locate it. Is anybody here using those features?
