  1. I am uncertain when the wheels were installed, but if it was done by the prior owner, they will be present. His license plate would presumably have incurred a cost in the five-figure range. He possessed numerous coordinating plates. Both numerals succeeded by his two initials. Is there a definitive method for ascertaining? I was considering taking them to a wheel shop. I recognise that repetitions can be really beneficial.
  2. Alloys are entirely a matter of personal preference, and I would not be offended if someone disapproved of them. I have a strong preference for them; yet, I find the penta appealing as well and am open to acquiring those too. I would likely just desire authentic items, and I am certain they are not inexpensive. I appreciate the extended tires; but, I may consider switching to the appropriate specifications when they require replacement.
  3. Thank you. Indeed, I concur. In addition to the substantial engine, it is a notably heavy vehicle. I read that the V8 would result in reduced stress while manoeuvring this vehicle. Had it been of lesser value, I would likely have departed. It is exceptionally smooth, accompanied by the distinctive V8 burble. I may adjust the exhaust as it is somewhat subdued. However, that is positioned lower on the list.
  4. I observed an automobile many weeks ago when driving by a nearby automotive dealership. Last week, it remained present, prompting me to examine it online upon my return home. I was immediately enamoured. Excellent condition both internally and externally. I was apprehensive regarding the mileage from the history check, as it had barely accumulated 700 miles in four years, totalling 132,000 miles. However, I felt compelled to acquire it. I returned it to its former garage, accompanied by comprehensive documentation. The reason for the low mileage became evident. The former proprietor was affluent and possessed an extensive automobile collection. It is evident that it has been well-maintained throughout its existence. I eagerly anticipate attending car exhibitions, as it is quite uncommon to see only approximately 128 vehicles on the road, with merely 28 in this particular colour. Parking in the vicinity may pose a challenge. It is really lengthy.
  5. The springs on your vehicle are calibrated specifically for it, based on the number and weight of extras installed during its manufacture. Numerous forum entries indicate that owners who have installed aftermarket springs often find their vehicles either too elevated or insufficiently lowered compared to the appropriate stance with OEM components. In response to your inquiry, they are indeed a respected company; nevertheless, for a little additional cost, I would recommend acquiring the appropriate components, particularly if you want to retain the vehicle. Have you inquired about a discount from the dealer? - Consider contacting MB Grangemouth, since it may be worthwhile.
  6. The only source for the appropriate springs is the dealer; aftermarket springs are a "one size fits all" solution. Your springs are customized to your vehicle's specific choices, as indicated by the colored bands on the coils from the factory. Purchase the appropriate items in a set; failing to do so may incur long-term costs.
  7. Refrain from referencing the conflict!
  8. While this was the situation, vehicles shipped in the latter part of the previous year and beyond were equipped with the latest software, making USB updates unfeasible. I infer that the USB upgrade is no longer necessary. It is hoped that some individual possessing a recent 2024 - 2025 vehicle may provide confirmation.
  9. The Kia Connect app does not provide average miles per gallon, and to my knowledge, it never did. I am unable to address your question about the over-the-air upgrades; I disabled mine, but you were required to do so early last year.
  10. MP3 files may be played directly from it; maintain a basic file structure since navigation will occur via the head unit display. All track data should be shown on the screen during playback.
  11. Mine has an SD card adapter filled with a substantial amount of music, far exceeding the native HDD space. However, the majority of my music is streamed via an Apple Bluetooth adaptor from my phone.
  12. Thank you for the suggestions; silver is not my preferred shade, therefore I am uncertain whether to choose black or carbon. Based on my understanding, removing the wrap will not damage the original trim, correct?
  13. Disenchanted with the wooden inside and want to cover it in black. Which of the three would you recommend, or is there another option you have tried?
  14. My estimate is 50% of the cost I am incurring for my BMW 330d M Sport.
