  1. I have not yet charged the EV3; nevertheless, with our Kia Soul, we always secured the vehicle while charging (AC), and when the vehicle was unlocked, the wire was easily detached.
  2. Thank you for your response. The message was received, and shortly thereafter, I received a recall notice about the EGR. I drove the vehicle to the main BMW dealership, where they performed the EGR repair and conducted diagnostics on the drivetrain problem. It was then determined that a new gearbox is required. I am awaiting a response from an independent establishment but thought I would seek advice here as well.
  3. Greetings, everyone, I received the aforementioned warning on my 2016 BMW 218d Active Tourer, automatic. Upon taking it to BMW for a diagnostic examination, they indicated a fault code related to the torque converter lock-up clutch, stating that a new gearbox is required, with a cost of £10,000.My vehicle is eight years old with 36,000 miles on the odometer; there must be other solutions available. Any recommendations? The vehicle operates normally, and the warning indicator disappears for many days after the engine is turned off.
  4. It is peculiar; I have just verified that there is no 'Vehicle Inspection' for my 2022 330d. It is referred to as Vehicle Check or Statutory Inspection.
  5. Apologies for seeming pedantic, but to the best of my knowledge, there is no 'Vehicle Inspection' option on the service menu. What is the subject of our discussion? Vehicle Inspection is conducted by a BMW workshop every three years. The emblem depicts an automobile on a service lift. The service facility or dealership often resets it in the same manner as other components, such as oil or brake pads. Statutory Inspection - known as the MOT test in the UK and the TÜV test in Germany. The sign consists of two overlapping S's. The owner may reset this to any future date by selecting the iDrive controller while Statutory Inspection is highlighted.
  6. Abandon the use of finders, as previously mentioned. If you fail to identify a particular brand, they will just choose and provide the most cost-effective option available to them.
  7. Where has the R129 been relocated to? Will it be visible on the forum?
  8. Mazda has released a solution to address the problem with the radar cruise control. Please contact your dealer for more information. A solution was implemented on my behalf, resulting in my subsequent well-being. Additionally, there are postings available on this website. Please do a search for "radar cruise control" to get information on the repair for that issue.
  9. I recall using my E39 M5 vehicle subsequent to installing the ESS supercharger package, namely in the year 2010. You are familiar with the remaining details, my friend, with great expressions of happiness 🙂 Although there may be some minor initial difficulties, once everything is resolved, the setup is excellent. I managed to accumulate over 50,000 miles on it over a span of 4 years. No problems whatsoever. Take pleasure in your newly arranged configuration. PS: Early adopters, such as myself, noted years ago that the throttle actuator was coming into contact with a slightly elevated fuel rail (after installing upgraded injectors), resulting in problems under wide open throttle (WOT). I only need a little adjustment to the fuel rail, and then everything was in proper working order. Have you encountered a similar experience? Essentially, the ECU was displeased with the input it received about the location of the throttle pedal. This feedback was related to the throttle actuator, which was causing friction with the fuel rail. EDIT: Additionally, please investigate the potential implementation of methanol injection, specifically in the context of a non-intercooled configuration. Utilising an Aquamist system really enhanced the whole experience. I am delighted to facilitate an introduction between you and Richard, who is the proprietor of Aquamist. After much investigation, I concluded that he produces the most superior kits in the world. I mainly used it for the purpose of reducing the intake air temperatures (IATs), while also benefiting from the methanol component in the mixture, which provided a favourable increase in octane levels, similar to the effects of using high-performance racing fuel. Please don't hesitate to reach out to Asbjorn Bohn or Hans Kirkerod, the founders and proprietors of ESS. Please inform me if you want to get their email addresses. (I am assuming that they have not been acquired in the last 9 years or so)
  10. Indeed, it is rather challenging to dispute the superiority of an E39 M5. Undoubtedly, it is quite enjoyable with the charger included as well!
  11. There is no need to be concerned about ESS (Employee Self-Service) and customer service/support. Since 2009, I have installed one of their kits on my BMW E39 M5 and driven over 60,000 miles with it. Exceedingly pleasant, without a doubt.

  13. I lack knowledge in a surprising variety of subjects.
