It's fine with me if you can get by with just three engines. This service record is standard on most BMWs, especially ex-lease vehicles. You can get away with the wacky service interval for the first few years, but it won't work for the long haul. Obtaining an extended BMW warranty will spare you a great deal of trouble down the road, that's all I can say. That engine does not have a problem with the timing chain. As B38/48/58 age, they begin to leak at multiple points. However, a BMW warranty is worthwhile, and you should be good to go at that age.

Has the 118i been test driven by you? The engine is three-cylinder. Before purchasing a 420i with a 2.0i engine that has four cylinders, I drove a 120i for two weeks. The 118i and 120i are both powered by noisy and unrefined three-cylinder engines. Do you think the three-cylinder engine will suffice? The lengthy history of service is just lip service when it comes to BMWs; it doesn't mean anything.

I will watch Top Gear reruns with Clarkson, May, and Hammond every time they appear on the TV schedule. Forget about it if it's anybody else; I've already forgotten their identity.

I mean, who didn't?

Three different individuals might come to mind.

Another one of these! I am sending in my application, so I hope you pick nice hosts!

An easy approach to check for a vacuum leak is to start the car while unplugging the MAF. After that, is it more efficient?

But now we're back to the original problem: mixing. Getting too much gas or air is either happening or the car is experiencing this problem. Pull the plugs in the morning as instructed before starting the engine. Run a light down the holes that hold the spark plugs.look for signs of moisture on the piston tops. Verify that the outlets' tips are moist. Indeed, injectors that are leaking. Check the injectors; are they black or grey in colour? If they are grey, it means they are ancient, leaky index injectors. The housing of the more recent index 11 injectors is black. Take the plug out of the maf sensor and turn the key to start the engine if everything seems OK. It probably is a hoover leak if it runs well. The presence or absence of a hissing sound is proportional to the leak's size and location. I have the N53, so I'm not entirely sure where the CCV pips are on the N46. However, I'm sure there are plenty of videos on YouTube that would help you out. Before anything else, check the maf and plugs. Report back with your findings.

Just to clarify, was the engine change completed before or after the three-year period of inactivity? I'm rereading your message. Are the plugs in question new or old? If you could tell me what additional errors you're getting, that would be great. In my opinion, the rough idling is not caused by the vanos solenoids. You might as well check if they are effective now that you've started down this path. If the plunger inside the solenoids cannot be heard moving when shaken, it is recommended to replace them. Locate the valves.

Shake the vanos solenoids once more after removing them. Are you perceiving a faint clattering noise? If they don't, they're in utter limbo. Sludge can also accumulate at the vanos check valves, which are situated along the liner of the wheel arch on the passenger side. Still, I think it's more of a mixing issue. Since the vehicle has been inactive for an extended period of time, numerous potential issues have accrued. Do you know whether there are any hoover leaks? A frequent location for CCV pipe is behind the valve cover. Damaged Diaphragm or Cover of Valve Are the spark plug wells greasy in any way? Check the plugs after letting the car sit overnight; do they seem wet or do you detect a strong petrol odour? In that case, perhaps injectors that are leaking. Is there a way to see if it's running lean or rich with live value reporting?

Sure, the first Kia customer service representatives were horrible. They said my warranty was null and void and that I should get a comprehensive service record; they insisted that a few stamps in a book did not enough. The Kia repair shop they dealt with denied ever having rebuilt the vehicle. To be honest, they're just a group of serpents. I sent a letter to the CEO of the company, and after reviewing it, someone from his team contacted to tell me that the warranty was still in effect, but only in cases where the defect was due to a manufacturing error.

Your response is really appreciated. Thanks to my extensive research and the identification of the vehicle's former owner, Kia has approved the vehicle's service history. Telling the garage workers to "shove it," he returned it to them. They agreed to take it, but he had to make a deal to purchase another vehicle from them. However, in order for Kia to cover the costs of a new engine and inspection in the event of a manufacturing defect, the vehicle must still undergo an examination by a Kia garage, even if Kia has acknowledged the service history and said that the warranty is valid. The oil, air filters, and vehicle were serviced three weeks prior to this. The car needed the right oil. A large amount of oil is still dispersed around my driveway! I am now in that position. The dealership isn't someone I trust to do the inspection, to be honest. Their allegiance will remain with Kia. However, I am completely stranded.
