I concur. I possess two customised vehicles: a Jaguar XKR and a factory C4 Corvette, both equipped with stainless steel sports exhausts. However, my spouse has prohibited me from making similar modifications to the CL, as it would fundamentally alter the car's character, which I regard as inherently elegant.

Affirmative. The BMW two-year or 20,000-mile service interval is just a strategy to present maintenance expenses as reduced, which, in my view and that of many others, is detrimental to the engine.

Examine the maintenance records and identify further oil changes, namely those scheduled for every 12 months or between 7,000 to 10,000 miles. Locating a vehicle that has undergone maintenance indicates that the owner valued it and did not just use it.

A buddy upgraded to Endless pads (ME20) on his GTS while monitoring it and saw a significant improvement compared to the factory pads. He further updated to the Endless brake fluid. He said that they are quite noisy in the vicinity.

My E91 originally had Sachs under the MSport specification. I replaced them with Bilstein B4 as an OEM-spec substitute when they need replacing, and they perform well, similar to the original Sachs. I conducted extensive research and verification of component numbers to ensure their equivalence to Msport specifications, since they vary from SE specifications.

It is exhausted. 2007 may represent either a late N46 (the last models were on 57 plates) or an early N43. N46 engines were notorious for oil consumption due to faulty valve stem seals and piston rings. Regardless, the cost of repairs will exceed the car's value. The responsibility is on the dealer to resolve this matter in one manner or another.

Does that indicate "Accelerate"?

Extract it and examine it. or do a search on https://partsouq.com/

Indeed, it is precisely what I am referring to. If there is sufficient compression in the cylinders, the engine should start, which leads me to consider the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS) as the potential cause. If you possess the capability to scan codes using the 38pin, you may discover further information. Perhaps a security system or an inertia switch might be the cause.

The onboard service indicator will activate when maintenance is required. However, in my view, the intervals between services are too lengthy, which may lead to problems with the lower engine components and timing chains. No technician will provide oil changes at a lower cost than extra ones, and throughout the time I had my 640d, I performed an oil change every six months. Fortunately, I had the privilege of having friends who run a garage, allowing me to use their ramps and get oil at discounted trade pricing. I would not exceed a maximum duration of 12 months or a mileage of ten thousand miles, whichever occurs first, for leaving oil in the engine. At now, I own a recently designed M4 model, while my spouse owns a newly designed 118i model, both of which come with a BMW guarantee. This implies that we are obligated to get them serviced as needed, including regular oil changes at the halfway point. Consistently, I use an authentic filter and high-quality oil. Thank you

I discovered on my prior Sportage. While driving in France, I encountered several oncoming automobiles that were signalling me by flashing their lights. To address this, I adjusted the headlight levelling switch downwards by a few increments, which effectively resolved the issue and prevented any further flashing.

Has the automatic gearbox been serviced? Worthwhile if not.

Indeed, there are certainly reproductions that may be obtained.

Greetings, individuals. The existing front grille on my W204 C63 is now in a worn-out condition and finished in a matte black colour. I am contemplating replacing it with a conventional grille with a silver star emblem. Do you have any suggestions on where I may get one?

The Lamborghini Huracán's 5.2-liter V10 engine is the result of a partnership between Audi and Lamborghini. The engine block and crankcase are manufactured in the Audi Hungaria Zrt. facility in Győr, Hungary, and subsequently assembled in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy. The engine is calibrated to generate 602 horsepower and is positioned in the middle of the automobile to provide optimal balance and performance. Is the engine a combination of German and Italian components? Which option is the correct one?

Upon closer observation, I have realised that this is an N43 model, indicating that it must be an older version. The specific details that you will not be able to see until it is removed. I have only experienced changes in a set and the engine worked well after it was coded. Prior to coding, there were irregularities in the engine's performance, but the injectors remained consistent over the whole range. Coding provides the fuel flow specifications.

I always do it manually....significantly reducing the chance of damaging the light or surrounding paint in case of a slip. Moisten the surface with 1000 units of liquid and proceed to remove the yellowing and achieve a uniform cloudiness throughout the whole area. To get a polished surface, 3000 grit is required. To get a clean finish, use Farecla G3 for polishing, metal polish or "T cut for metallics" for the ultimate shine, and a UV safe clear coat top.
