I inquired about the ICCU problem, and the answer was, "Oh, I haven't heard anything about that; it must be an isolated case!" I do not believe him. Although I preferred the EV4 over the EV3, I want to wait at least a year to observe future developments, since I still have two years of warranty remaining on my E-Niro.
-
I attended the local premiere this evening and found the EV4 more impressive than the EV3, hence I may contemplate acquiring one in the future; however, it will need to surpass my 2020 E-Niro. I saw that it only has USB-C connectors, lacking USB-A ports, necessitating a reevaluation of my USB music library. The menus seemed to lack intuitiveness.

I am aware that it is irrational to observe M automobiles lacking folding mirrors. I have observed these equipped solely with rear parking sensors. BMW tends to impose charges for these additional features that are often included as standard in other vehicles.
-
If a button is absent, then folding mirrors are not equipped on the vehicle as normal.

Oil and filter are changed every 6,000 miles after the first 3,000 miles. The chain was replaced. How many miles will it last? Please do not provide an answer.
-
I never said that it would. It will temporarily reduce the noise. For instance, suppose you travelled from Norfolk to London by car. The chain began to produce noises; adding a can of Wynn's or STP may increase the likelihood of reaching home. No one has disclosed the mileage achievable on a new chain after 300,000 miles.
-
I spoke with a BMW expert on this matter, and he said that if the vehicle has over 300,000 miles, the likelihood of the crank sprocket damaging the replacement chain is significant. If you own a motorbike with a chain that has elongated to the maximum extent permissible for adjustment. Installing a new chain may result in a lifespan of just one day. Always replace the chain in conjunction with the sprockets. No one will disclose the duration of the new chain's longevity after extensive mileage. Has anybody installed a chain on a 300,000-mile crankshaft?
-
I saw several remarks about oil additives. Should your timing chain start to rattle. An effective additive will temporarily reduce noise levels. It increases the viscosity of oil. If your vehicle has accumulated 300,000 miles or more, what mileage can a fresh chain achieve? The crank gear resembles shark teeth at that point. Is a cost of 50,000 justifiable for a new chain?

You have provided the solution to your own inquiry.

All doors are inoperable from both the inside and outside.

Have you discovered any solutions? -
Vargalant has exceptional reliability, and the ball joints were impressive. It is certainly worthwhile to attempt, since you will save around $4,500 initially (or about $2,500 even after the reduction). Additionally, be aware that success tales are published on this topic. Heating may be the answer; consider trying it. In the worst-case scenario, sell the ball joints and get a significant discount from Audi.
-
We attempted to proceed, but were unable since the old ball joints were too tight, prompting the independent shop to refrain from applying any force owing to the heightened danger of breaking the whole wishbone. It is important to mention that I am uncertain whether they attempted to heat the ball joint first; I would presume they did not, since I discovered this information later via this forum. Subsequently pursued the whole M14 V10 conversion at a 50% discount via Audi.

As previously said, I believe the glass remains same before and after the LCI. Are you cognisant of the discernible border around the perimeter of the autodim mirror glass? Upon close examination of your mirrors or the links, you may see a faint greyish border around the glass; this is absent in non-autodimming models.

and a another one for £75... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186633417984?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338774556&toolid=10001&customid=130832X1595858X2ccea785b1a0a89982c051fb592e9a21

This is a pre-LCI model priced at £80: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276448412032?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338774556&toolid=10001&customid=130832X1595858X57110441aa8fcd7dde5828e55a6629ed

Upon discovering that one of my autodim mirrors had shattered, I purchased a whole mirror from eBay that was not advertised as autodim, resulting in a lower price. I replaced the glass and then sold the remaining components for a profit exceeding the initial cost of the mirror. Before or after LCI? Despite realoem.com indicating that the glass is same

Grounding strap? Or a malfunctioning starting motor, perhaps?
-
What was the outcome?
-
I assume the L461 has a fairly similar configuration. I would stabilise the plug using foam secured by a rubber rope and attach it to prevent resonance.

An adept ECU tuner (remapper) may invert the operation of the button.

If your independent mechanic has a JLR-compatible code reader (a generic code reader retrieves just normal OBD2 codes, but a JLR-compatible reader also offers a compilation of proprietary JLR codes that extend beyond the basic OBD2 standard), instruct him to read and analyse the codes. Their association with mileage allows for a clear identification of the cutoff after "fixed by dealer." Publish all of them subsequent to the resolution of the matter.
