  1. Do you reside in proximity to a reputable independent BMW specialist? Considering the persistent EGR valve problems associated with that engine—Mrs. XWV own the same vehicle—I would certainly prioritise eliminating that issue before allocating funds to other repairs, since I presume the recall has not been addressed either. She has already replaced the EGR valve twice under warranty, and BMW has now extended the guarantee to around 15 years. On both occasions, the problem was preceded by drivetrain malfunction alerts.
  2. Two weeks after Stonic ownership, there is a nearby supermarket where the vehicle detects a 10mph sign and emits three beeps if the speed limit is exceeded, subsequently allowing further acceleration without further alerts.
  3. There is a recently established regional forum here, albeit its specific territory is still unclear and lacks clarity. In my own opinion, I believe that it would be beneficial to establish a dedicated regional forum just for the Southern California (SoCal) area. If you are interested, please let me know if you would want to engage in a Palomar rum activity while I am in Temecula.
  4. My one further recommendation would be to use more force when pushing, since it is the course of action I would myself choose.
  5. Is there any obstruction preventing the badge from being positioned correctly? Have you conducted a comparison of the undersides of both the new and old badges? Did the previous emblem remain in the same position and move back and forth?
  6. In my case, the "pegs" have two different diameters. I presume yours is also the same, therefore please consider this when purchasing the plugs.
  7. Are there supposed to be outlets at that location? When I removed my insignia, there was no recollection. If your old symbol fits tightly, then your new emblem is incorrect if it is loose.
  8. I plan to replace the M54B25 intake and make some adjustments to the DME settings/map in order to get an additional 20 horsepower. I plan to install the M54B25 intake and perhaps modify the DME settings to get an additional 20 horsepower.
  9. I had the same problem and shared my experience on this platform a few weeks ago. It is bothersome, since I want things to remain in their proper state without the need for refreshing. I am using the Android application.
  10. Transferred from the section on instructional manuals. This is not a comprehensive, detailed guide as indicated by the stickies.
  11. If you have not yet done so, I recommend attempting many instances of abrupt deceleration from a considerable velocity. To activate the ABS, accelerate the automobile to a speed of around 70 miles per hour or more, and then use the brakes with maximum force. However, ensure that you do not completely stop the car, but rather reduce its speed to approximately 10 miles per hour. Iterate this procedure 3-4 times and thereafter drive at a consistent pace to facilitate the cooling of the brakes prior to coming to a halt or parking the vehicle.
  12. I own both Bimmercode and Bimmerlink applications, in addition to many OBD scanners.
  13. Will display the information. The software requires a single purchase of £35, which I believe is a worthwhile investment.
  14. Furthermore, it is important to note that not all vehicles manufactured in 2010 lacked reinforcements. Specifically, cars produced in April or May of that year were known to have these reinforcements. As an example, I personally own a 2010 R8 with factory reinforcements, which was produced in May. I inspected the plastics and other components to confirm their condition at the time of purchase.
  15. I surmise that it directs towards the AC radiator positioned in front of the primary coolant radiator. Is it visible from the front? An alternative approach is to physically examine the pipes or hoses for any signs of activity, such as a noticeable shift in temperature when the air conditioning is turned off or on. However, it is important to note that the temperature variations must be significant enough to be easily seen.
  16. If the substance enters the radiator, it is most likely an oil cooler line for either the engine or gearbox. Most likely an air conditioning system. To ascertain with certainty, one must trace the pipes retroactively and determine their respective terminations.
  17. Very same history as my E 320.
  18. The metal one has a more appealing appearance but it interferes with the transmission. https://www.ebay.com/itm/175873886630?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338767356&toolid=10001&customid=130832X1595923Xb713f00e64611880ecc414ba4be270d1
  19. Someone purchased the item, curious whether it was acquired from this platform.
  20. These are aesthetically pleasing and are reasonably priced for a set of forged magnesium monoblocks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/196068173255?_trkparms=amclksrc=ITM&aid=777008&algo=PERSONAL.TOPIC&ao=1&asc=20230811123856&meid=a9c52ac320064cc4b152092ad61fe41d&pid=101770&rk=1&rkt=1&itm=196068173255&pmt=0&noa=1&pg=4375194&algv=RecentlyViewedItemsV2&brand=PPI&_trksid=p4375194.c101770.m146925&_trkparms=parentrq:d4b7e52818d0ac1d26934925ffffb04e|pageci:62f97396-d217-11ee-9f22-da498057ba25|iid:1|vlpname:vlp_homepage&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338767356&toolid=10001&customid=130832X1595923X9c19cab5c5dd8ad483a051e7be5338a2
  21. Considered purchasing this briefly. . I found a favourable offer on this item, so I purchased CF coasters to complement it instead of spending $200 on a button. I spent $150 on a CF gear knob insert from MACarbon, but it was well worth it.
