  1. Thenornpo, I only deactivate it while manoeuvring or reversing to enhance my control. Otherwise, I keep it activated. If I deactivate it, it remains deactivated; if I activate it, it remains activated. I believe I have manually engaged the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) a few times since we acquired the vehicle in late March.
  2. I apologise, but your statement has caused me to feel perplexed. May I inquire about the specific generation of Sportage you possess? In the 4th generation, it is necessary to engage Auto Hold for each journey. However, in the 5th generation, once it is on, it remains active until manually switched off.
  3. Is the price of the equipment more than £200?
  4. The cost ranges from £500 to £600. Yes, it is recommended to visit the ZF website, where you can find a list of certified fitters. I have personally employed one of the fitters near me, as well as an independent ex-BMW technician.
  5. European automobile components are also reasonably priced, and you have the option to choose a location for their installation. In my case, the cost is simply £72.
  6. On Monday, I will take my vehicle to a garage to have all the tyres replaced. This is a cost-effective and convenient option, since it is simpler for the professionals to do it when the car is lifted off the ground, rather than me struggling with it on the driveway.
  7. Perhaps you overlooked my previous post in which I mocked him for choosing an automatic gearbox over a manual one. 🙂
  8. If you had a genuine R8 with a manual gearbox, you would be capable of doing many launches with the traction control system off. 😉
  9. You may be able to get this item for the same cost via negotiation. https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmarketplace%2Fitem%2F428730156297077%2F%3Fref%3Dsearch%26referral_code%3Dnull%26referral_story_type%3Dpost%26tracking%3Dbrowse_serp%3A1348f407-17db-422d-b7ef-35f5afba253d
  10. According to Darthilli, an article revealed that very few individuals really get a rate reduction for these devices.
  11. Have you correctly inserted the battery? It is astonishing how many people engage in this activity. Syncing a Vauxhall key with Google If the previous solution is unsuccessful, it may be necessary to reprogram the key. For more information, please contact me about new cases and the cutting and programming of keys.
  12. That is a commendable idea, as it will prompt and inquire about the action before the nocturnal alteration occurs!
  13. Once again, I am uncertain if this automobile has undergone remapping. It would be preferable to have updated software, unless it has already been installed. However, there is a potential danger of an ECU crash.
  14. Captiva So, if I understand correctly, you are suggesting that I locate a 2017 NOx sensor that does not need an update?
  15. I will be doing the task next week at my nearby independent garage, which has a subscription to MB and is capable of conducting system updates if necessary for the NOx sensor. They inquired if I am aware of any remapping, since they have had instances in the past when the ECU crashed during system updates.
  16. Is there a method to determine whether my engine has been remapped without the use of specialised tools? I just purchased this automobile and now I am facing an issue with the NOX sensors, which need to be changed. However, I have been informed that in rare cases, changing the NOX sensor may require programming and updating the whole Engine Control Unit (ECU). If the engine has been mapped, this process might possibly result in an ECU crash. I am familiar with the garage and have confidence in their services. I would want to inquire whether there is a method for verifying the accuracy of their work. Is there a tool available that enables for the backup and restoration of an ECU in the event of a crash? I recall that Ford had this feature available in the past. Thank you.
  17. In another discussion, I learned that to access '24', you need to purchase an ATB or a higher level.
  18. The wheels on the EQE seem to be similar to mine, however they seem to be a different hue.
  19. It is more probable that the issue lies in the timing chain, which will need the removal of the gearbox as well. Typically, a complete TC kit (Febi or FAI) would have around 60,000 miles on it. Best contact our engine expert @mike1967 for an in comprehensive response Are you encountering any problems or difficulties? Do you possess any existing codes?
  20. Thank you,Racerse . I really regard your judgement, particularly since you possess extensive knowledge and expertise in BMW vehicles inside this community. Regrettably, the work strategy on the M50 does not seem to be very effective. However, I shall review it again to confirm.
  21. I consistently value the counsel of everyone. There are individuals who possess far more expertise about these automobiles than I have.
  22. I am interested in acquiring the M3, but, considering my own tendencies, I am concerned that the initial excitement of paying for fuel may diminish with time. The M50 remains an exceptional vehicle, but it does not quite reach the level of the M3. I constantly have an ongoing internal struggle inside my mind. Given that both automobiles are costly, I am seeking an option that offers superior value to me. The M50 is not often used for casual weekend drives. However, I am aware of individuals on the BMW forums who are transitioning from an M3 to an M50, suggesting that the expenses associated with owning an M3 may have been burdensome, leading some to reach their limit. I want to get the M3.
  23. There is a combination of both elements, to be fair. I added many gadgets to the i4. I am aware that the current offers are not as favourable as they were one year ago, which is frustrating. However, this is an inevitable aspect of life.
