  1. I understand your perspective, but like many aspects of life, it is a matter of personal interpretation. Most R8 owners do not use their vehicles for everyday transportation or endure 10-hour interstate journeys. Although I cannot guarantee that the V10 would be less comfortable on such a journey, it is inconsequential. For the overwhelming majority of people who use their R8 as a vehicle for leisure or enjoyment, I believe that opting for the V10 engine is the most preferable choice. While I acknowledge that speed is not the only determining factor, the V10 power of the R8 is more ideally suited to complement the supercar styling.
  2. Off-topic interruption! Where is the Auxiliary battery located in a s205 250d?
  3. Have you researched what the oil pressure light signifies? Is the oil pressure low or does it signal a potential problem?
  4. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/395206532121?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338774556&toolid=10001&customid=130832X1595858Xf281553db67fa96363508707a46d59e2
  5. Would a budget-friendly BMW-specific code reader like the Creator C310+ provide live data including oil pressure readings? Seems encouraging!
  6. Thank you for the detailed information. Recalibration is a problem for me as well, especially since my MY20 vehicle has a camera located at the top of the glass to enable the automobile detecting features.
  7. Agreed. I have Admiral insurance, which suggests utilising Autoglass for the replacement and will provide me with £4X. I heard that my premium would rise next year if I make a claim. I am considering not filing an insurance claim for it.
  8. After hearing about your experience, I contacted Autoglass this morning. They informed me that they only provide OEM glass unless I specifically ask for a Kia genuine one, which comes at a higher price and takes longer to get. I am considering cancelling the Autoglass appointment and opting to see Kia directly instead.
  9. Autoglass is an authorised dealer by my insurance policy.
  10. I will schedule an appointment with Autoglass at either Brent Cross or Estree.
  11. This morning, I discovered a fracture in the glass of my MY20 vehicle, which I marked with red colour. The damage should be located on the left side of the photo. I want to know whether the Kia warranty would be impacted if I get my vehicle repaired by Autoglass instead of Kia. Please provide guidance on my next course of action. Thank you very much.
  12. By the way, it was silly of them to discontinue the new Mazda 6. Genesis evolved become a prestigious automotive brand specialising in premium performance sedans. Picture a 340-horsepower inline 6 performance luxury car rivalling the Audi S4, BMW M340i, Genesis G70, and Acura TLX A-Spec.
  13. It should be a medium SUV with two rows. Mazda has not had a vehicle in this range since 2012 with the CX-7. Mazda offers two subcompact models (CX-3, CX-30), two compact models (CX-5, CX-50), and two full-size 3-row SUVs (CX-9, CX-90). Any vehicle larger than a medium would be considered foolish by them!
  14. Shaking my head It would be unfortunate if Mazda were dumb enough to persist in not addressing the midsize SUV gap. The CX-70 should be positioned between the CX-50 and CX-90, similar to how the BMW X5 is positioned between the X3 and X7. The vehicle should have two rows and provide more capacity than the tiny CX-50, but it should not be as large as the minivan-sized CX-90.
  15. It can generate some electricity on bright days, but it produces very little power on overcast days. I saw a video on YouTube where someone conducted a month-long test, during which they only managed to charge a few ampere-hours (Ah) given the limited number of sunny days.
  16. This is a prevalent issue. The component in question is not a battery, but rather a capacitor/power module situated in the passenger footwell. Below are some links that you may find interesting: Genuine Mercedes-Benz W205 C-Class Voltage Converter Aux Battery A205905341480 | eBay
  17. Appears to be suitable or appropriate in appearance! The vehicle's height is expected to decrease somewhat in the next weeks. I had my vehicle's height reduced by 40mm using Eibach springs around 2 months ago, and I believe that the overall ride quality has much improved. I am currently undecided about using spacers. I came across information stating that VX Lines have a natural height that is 15mm lower than usual. Therefore, by using 40mm springs, you would only get a drop of 25mm.
  18. Impressive. What is the purpose of having functional steering wheel buttons when you can control all functions using voice commands via Siri? I do not use CarPlay, just connect my iPhone over Bluetooth. However, I rely solely on voice commands, specifically addressing Siri. Initiate the playback of the Smith and Sniff podcast or establish a phone call with TheSteeringCommittee. What is the level of sound quality?
  19. Discovered the method to include an image, although remain unaware of the procedure to include self-recorded movies of the automobile in motion. However, if any of you own this knowledge, kindly share it in the comments section.
  20. I managed to resolve the issue with the pedal by identifying that a position sensor wire was missing and not properly attached. It is now functioning perfectly. There is a significant increase in boost/vacuum leakage, resulting in a significant decrease in power. However, this issue can be resolved by thoroughly inspecting all components. Currently, the progress of resolving the issue is at 75% completion. Therefore, this implies that the fuel lines were not correctly installed, the underneath pump was not properly attached, and there were loose wires present, among other issues. However, she has excellent driving skills, with a flawlessly operating engine and a smooth performance. I would want to include many video excerpts, however I am unsure of the method to do so. Thank you for the suggestions and comments, I have gained a substantial amount of knowledge from this website. If anybody is currently doing the similar procedure, please feel free to comment below this page to get assistance or vital information that I acquired throughout this exchange. This was my first diesel engine replacement, since I had previously completed a similar task on the 325-328i-s of the same generation, which were much less complex. Transitioning from a newer generation 4-cylinder engine to the first generation M57 6-cylinder engine was a lengthy and enjoyable experience. There were several fluctuations and a plethora of fresh knowledge that I acquired. However, this is the essence of the matter. Here is what I particularly like about automobiles, namely BMWs. The process of acquiring knowledge, including both successes and failures, is what unifies an automobile community. All those who made contact and provided valuable suggestions. Appreciation is extended to everyone, and I am now going to delight in using my newly acquired engine ❤
  21. Successfully started and operationalized the automobile. However, had an issue with the throttle. Engaging the throttle from 0-50% produces no response, while applying more than 50% results in a little increase in revolutions per minute (rpm) before stabilising at about 1.5k rpm. What may be the underlying reason of this?
  22. Additionally, does anybody own a schematic illustrating the gasoline line or hose for the e46 330d? I am uncertain about the proper placement and routing of the vacuum schematic, and unfortunately, I am unable to verify this information since the bmwfans.info website is now inaccessible.
