  1. I have created a synthetic audio recording. The loudness must be increased! I would appreciate your insights. Droning Noise in BMW 435i
  2. Salutations. I will attempt to record the sound and upload it. It is situated in the lower end of the spectrum. Appears to be more related to the engine or drivetrain. Recently changed the gearbox oil, although there has been no alteration in the sound.
  3. At speeds beyond 60 mph, I perceive a pulsating drone when cruising. It almost appears that the vehicle is in an excessively high gear. Approximately 2000 revolutions per minute. The sound evokes memories of the enormous freezers found in supermarkets that operate with a persistent hum. It is not overwhelming, yet it is perceptible. I have created a sound recording that resembles the noise in the car (please increase the volume): Droning Noise in BMW 435i It would be beneficial to ascertain whether this is their inherent nature. Salutations
  4. Any task above a "two spanner rating" in difficulty Typically, I would be extremely anxious about the prospect of disassembling an engine and subsequently lacking the knowledge to reassemble it. In the past, I resided in less than acceptable neighbourhoods with congested street parking, characterised by limited space and frequent vehicular traffic. I possessed only one jack and a wheel stand, along with a restricted assortment of tools. Reflecting on the past, merely changing the oil or a bulb was a significant accomplishment for me at that time. Adequate driveway, garage, and appropriate tools are essential for undertaking any substantial automotive work, as you are aware.
  5. To be candid, my friend I have the time now, and it is not even related to finances. In my youth, I possessed a HAYNES handbook for each vehicle I owned, intending to undertake numerous tasks. Sequential instructional manuals on paper, which were the primary resources prior to the advent of the Internet as it exists today. However, I never endeavoured.
  6. Classic BBS alloys.
  7. Rooting the MCU2 is exceedingly difficult and necessitates physical access. Your optimal course of action is to direct message LayZ, as he is the expert in this domain. There may be a method to modify certain gateway configurations, however I have been informed that it is only feasible for pre-2020 MCU2 models. Furthermore, Full Self-Driving (FSD) is now accessible for MCU1, so it may be feasible to install and activate it; however, I am uncertain. It is new information to me that it is disabled for salvage vehicles, which could be a European policy.
  8. Approximately 1,000 is solely allocated for high-voltage inspection and supercharger reactivation, unrelated to full self-driving. Thank you for the perspective on the UK.
  9. Perhaps the UK is unique. That discussion does not reference salvage vehicles. Is your assertion pertaining to salvage autos specifically or to all vehicles in general?
  10. 1) Continuously, following examination, they will restore functionality (or activate it through root access, which you likely possess). False 3) False. They will not engage with any high-voltage components until a separate inspection is conducted. However, various mechanical and 12V systems are permissible. Inspection costs differ by region, but $1,000 seems reasonable (you did purchase a less expensive vehicle by acquiring a salvage title, correct? Thus, it is a little expense). If you upgrade to MCU2, you will lose the Supercharger 'hack' now available and will be required to undergo that inspection.
  11. The new HID Xenon system must be programmed into the vehicle for it to be recognised. This procedure can alone be executed with the MB STAR diagnostic computer. The procedure is referred to as 'SCN Coding'. Additionally, the complete HID system includes an automated levelling system (comprising sensors and motors) and headlamp washers. Disregarding the legal obligation for vehicles equipped with HIDs, I am uncertain how the car will respond in their absence. Specifically, after integrating the new HID system, the vehicle's ECU will anticipate the presence of the automatic levelling sensor and motors, along with the headlamp washers. Consequently, it may either generate a fault code on the dashboard or deactivate the HID system entirely; this remains unclear to me. You must take the vehicle to an independent specialist equipped with MB STAR.
