  1. In agreement Is this your first experience with a high-speed lane change on the highway? Also, did you update the tires recently? The tires, in my opinion, are to blame if that's the case, as they have a significant impact on the back of these vehicles. During their first tire change on their new S-class many years ago, one of my siblings discovered it.
  2. Is it produced by Tesla? What is the duration and cost of the extended warranty, and do you intend to retain the vehicle for that period?

    My vehicle was stolen from the driveway while the key remained inside my residence. A few E92 and E93 vehicles are parked in my vicinity in front of so-called "barber shops" operated by young men. No clientele; merely a gathering place for young men. I continue to observe those BMWs while passing by them. 🧐 I would recommend against purchasing second-hand injectors, as their condition is uncertain, and you will need to change the seal near the tip using a specialised tool. The injectors were approximately £200 at the main dealer when I replaced mine around 7 to 8 years ago; I believe they now cost over £250 apiece. Unfortunately, the injectors are one of the most expensive components of that engine. I have observed numerous individuals acquire a discount 325i/330i, just to later report on forums that they encountered a £1500 expense for a complete set of injectors.

    ...evokes memories of my 320i E92 LCI featuring red leather. I trust you will resolve it.The N43 and N53 engines typically require a new set of the newest specification injectors unless they have been updated lately. The leaking injectors during the morning ordeal.
  5. Please examine the production sticker. This should be included in the compact service booklet or located in the trunk beneath the floor panel.
  6. Regrettably, the vehicle accumulates fewer than 1,000 miles annually.
  7. I attempted to start my R8 today, and a low battery alert illuminated on the dashboard. The last occasion I operated the vehicle was one month prior. My radar detector issued a low battery alert, indicating a voltage of approximately 6-7 volts. In 2021, I swapped my original battery with another Audi battery, and the vehicle is consistently connected to CTEK. What factors contribute to the rapid deterioration of the battery? My vehicle has approximately 19,000 miles.
  8. A former contributor here owned a modified W211 E55, which he sold to acquire an R230 SL600. He appreciated the V12 temporarily, but promptly sold it and acquired another E55. Some of you may recall Tony, known by the forum alias Ginger E55, who was a frequent participant at MSL GTG events in the past. It was likely the apprehension of an exorbitant cost impending that convinced him the V8 represents a superior long-term investment for high-speed enjoyment.
  9. Any reputable tire establishment should be capable of resolving the issue for you.
  10. I encountered this issue. The solution included eliminating any debris from the rim beads and applying a swift layer of bead sealant. Has been satisfactory for two years now. I experience little to no pressure drop between inspections.
  11. Greetings, Could someone please inform me of the position of the crankshaft sensor on the 2008 B200 automatic vehicle? I have removed the air filter housing and cannot locate a replacement. Receiving code P0016.
  12. The PHEV will be somewhat heavier than the HEVs; however, I anticipate achieving a genuine 55-60 mpg on motorways without charging, provided one adheres to the speed limit, accelerates smoothly, and anticipates deceleration by coasting instead of braking (and, for clarification, I acknowledge that braking also recharges the traction battery, but coasting does as well). I would not cancel my purchase; these vehicles are exceptional.
  13. I have had same issue with previous upgrades. I just left the flash drive in the vehicle, and after 10-15 minutes, it began loading. Can you confirm that your device is the MY24 model and is now running software version 231102 (02 Nov 2023)? The only basis for my inquiry is the absence of an update for MY25.
  14. What is the procedure for activating it? I am curious whether the slot on my R171 SLK is as thin as an Argos brochure when the roof is down. I presume that it is only designated for SL, however I really hope that my assumption is incorrect.
