  1. B48s are sufficiently aged to display some issues. Intermittent failure of chain guides and accumulation of junk in the Vanos central bolt gauze filters. I saw a 2016 320i with 38,000 miles requiring a gearbox and engine repair, namely the chain, guides, and Vanos gear. This matter is very complex; yet, not all instances present issues. Low mileage and a clean interior are essential, accompanied by frequent oil changes. Modifying the N20 2.0 to achieve 250 horsepower often results in catastrophic failure when a piston fails. The 28i has reduced compression for a specific purpose. The B38 three-cylinder engine is rather delicate. Although not exceptionally quick, an F30 320i B48 performs well and offers a pleasant driving experience with the 8-speed automatic transmission. A B47 diesel is a superior option.
  2. The traditional inline six naturally aspirated port-injection 330i. Should you locate a suitable one.
  3. You can consider repairing the air conditioning; this would eliminate the need of opening the windows
  4. While it is possible to extend farther, I believe that above 100k, you enter a realm akin to a lottery. I have replaced these on engines both under and over 100,000 miles; some have fractured while others are just loud. Consequently, my recommendation is to replace at 100k, since it is more economical to substitute than to rectify upon failure.
  5. I have been involved in tuning for 20 years. Firstly, you have been deceived. Secondly, you must identify the issue, rectify it, and then remap or remove as necessary.Thirdly, they have exploited you, since they sell the inners or the whole DPF for hundreds of pounds, so receiving payment twice for the service.DPF issues may arise from several factors, including insufficient coolant temperature, inadequate fuel levels, and frequent short journeys, among others.
  6. Successfully completed the remaining three without any issues.
  7. I visited three years ago for a remap and AdBlue deletion, and I have seen no issues since. Approximately £1000 was spent on Nox sensors prior to the "cannot measure level" alert. I should have remapped initially to save time and resources.
  8. In the event of gas loss due to a leak, the system will lack lubrication, resulting in audible mechanical noise from the compressor while the engine operates and the air conditioning is activated. The location of the condenser on the W639 is inside the engine compartment, while I am unfamiliar with the W447. I engaged a mobile air conditioning professional to assess the unit at my residence; he subsequently installed a new Behr unit for a total cost of £280 eight years ago.
  9. Prior to commencing, inspect the bolts used to secure the pulleys. It is worth noting that the M113 engine has a Torx T50 security bolt for the tensioner pulley. The parts are not readily accessible. Not an ideal revelation to make in the middle of the task.

  11. My Range Rover has had a same issue. Despite installing a new battery, the stop-start feature is still not functioning. The dealer advised to increase the amount of driving. I brought it to an Auto Electrician who kept it for a few days, attempting several solutions and allowing it to enter sleep mode before trying again. Discovered a parasitic drain. The issue has been resolved and there have been no more complications. Furthermore, as said before, it is advisable to get a Ctek charger, since all of my vehicles are equipped with one.
  12. The battery in my 2008 E92 325i was replaced in March. It has not been operated since then, just initiated a few times. Upon attempting to use it again, I have seen the presence of the yellow low battery indicator on the dashboard, the necessity to adjust the time on the clock, and the failure of the car's boot to release when I unlock the vehicle. The first battery had a capacity of 80 ampere-hours and a cold cranking amperage of 800. The previous item was replaced with a Bosch battery that has a capacity of 95Ah and a cold cranking amp (CCA) rating of 800. I am certain that it was programmed and officially registered using Bimmercode. I have had the automobile for a duration of 8 years, during which I have not encountered any issues till the present day. Is it possible that a recently purchased battery has lost its charge due to the automobile being inactive for a period of 4 months? Will I need to change it once more?
  13. It is rather frequent to see waggons stuck beneath a bridge with a clearly indicated height limit of 10 feet and 6 inches on a back road that I sometimes use. One method provides enough advance notice, while the other method catches you off guard as you navigate a curve without visibility. If the waggons see it in advance, there are no convenient places to turn around, resulting in the need to reverse around 90-degree turns often. I suppose that satellite navigation systems are responsible for displaying this route as the most expeditious path to the motorway.
  14. This ring is a component of a sensor, which I have coloured "red".
  15. EDIT: Or does it have to be with a wheel hub (bearing)? https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/4245005040?maker[]=111
  16. I apologise for my oversight, I failed to notice the term "rear". Does it resemble this (verify compatibility)? https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/8954402010
  17. Occasionally, it is also referred to as a tone ring. https://www.autodoc.co.uk/triscan/7206508
  18. Thank you for your message. Just to clarify, are you suggesting that the replacement of the injectors did not resolve the issue, since the root problem was really the vanos hubs (solenoids located on the front of the engine block)? Regarding my initial inquiries, I appreciate any more guidance in advance. 1.) Has anybody have experience installing a single injector with a pre-owned index 11 injector on a 2008 N43 318i? 2.) Are the cylinders of the N43 engine numbered 1-4 in consecutive order from the front of the engine bay to the back firewall? This is important since the diagnostic is indicating a problem with the injector in cylinder 3.
  19. Thank you for providing the information, @Finestey. I have also discovered a source that offers a guarantee of 2 years and does not need the replacement of old injectors. This is a fuel injector with the part number 13537589048-11 and index number 11, designed for BMW 1, 3, 5, and 6 series vehicles with N43 and N53 engines. It is available for purchase on eBay. I am posting this information for your reference. I am currently unaware of the specific index of the original injectors in my 2008 N43 4-cylinder engine. However, I assume that the index number should not pose a problem when replacing a single injector. Although, I have come across reports of potential complications in some cases.
  20. I am experiencing a cylinder 3 injector failure on my 2008 E90 N43 4-cylinder vehicle, which is resulting in a very unstable idle and stalling. Is it OK to substitute this individual injector with a pre-owned index 11 injector? Furthermore, I presume that the cylinders are labelled in a sequential manner from 1 to 4, starting at the front of the engine compartment and progressing towards the back firewall. Any guidance or recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you.
  21. I need assistance in removing the sump, as it is likely to contain a significant amount of debris. Additionally, it is necessary to remove the oil pump, as it may harbour additional fragments of the chain system. This occurrence is usual when the top guide breaks and falls down, resulting in a failure.
  22. If you need all the practical and functional devices without any unnecessary extras, I would recommend opting for a 3 or 4 specification model. Both vehicles are equipped with Smart Cruise control, which has left a strong impression on me. However, what about the panoramic roof? I have just used it for demonstration purposes and have not utilised it for any other reason.
  23. Undoubtedly, there is a certain quality that sets them apart.
