According to @LimeLing , it seems like there may be a leak. The engine check light is triggered by the mass air flow and exhaust gas pressure codes. The rest are of lesser importance and you may choose to examine them at a later time. The intake system has many components that may be responsible for the problem. The second item, known as the breather hose or blow by hose, becomes fragile and develops fractures. Occasionally, the Charge Air Pipe (Item 10) develops fractures in close proximity to Item 8 (Charge air temperature sensor). The mass air pressure sensor sometimes becomes obstructed (Item 6). It is a simple and efficient process to remove and clean. Examine the sensor located in the mass air flow metre, which is often referred to as the hot film mass metre by BMW. It should be free of dirt and impurities since it is positioned downstream of the air filter. While I have reservations, it is possible that the problem might also be attributed to a malfunctioning EGR valve. I believe that there may be other malfunctions associat ed with the EGR valve. Do you possess ISTA+ or the capability to do several tests?ISTA+ offers several tests that may be performed to identify the problem. However, it should be noted that some tests may need the use of oscilloscopes to examine signals, which I choose to omit. Additionally, ensure that the air filter housing is well sealed.

I purchased a 2010 vehicle and had the strengthening work carried out by Avant Garde Xotics in Van Nuys, California. They performed an exceptional job and completed it within a 24-hour timeframe, for just $1100. Completely valuable for ensuring peace of mind. However, it is necessary to choose a suitable establishment that has the capability to do Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding on aluminium.

Although you did not specify the price discrepancy between the two options, if the difference is under $30,000, I would recommend choosing the 2015 model. In addition to the aforementioned factors, it is worth noting that the automobile in question is just 7 years old, which implies that it is relatively young and is likely to have less problems. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the issue of frame breaking is really genuine and was not addressed by the manufacturer until the year 2010 or later.

Do not be concerned, I have experienced this situation before.

I will collect decibel data after calibrating this week.

Although I have responded on the other forum, I will be present there...

Although I have a 2005 E46 320CD SE, I am not too concerned about warranty and BMW's claims. However, for a newer vehicle like yours, I would ensure that the 'From new' life is verified and stamped, as mine was by its original owner. If necessary, I would seek assistance from reliable or independent BMW experts. Currently, I am responsible for the majority of the tasks, but at the age of 64, I now delegate the more challenging ones to a nearby garage. For instance, when I recently went to replace the flexi on the exhaust, they opted to welded it instead and imposed a fee of £80. There have been no problems since then. Regarding oil, I replace the oil and filter every year (after 7-10k miles), and replace the air/cabin filter every two years or when it becomes unclean. Additionally, I maintain the ccv. However, I have seen no disparity in the efficacy of synthetic oils. Therefore, I choose to purchase the same kind of oil that I have previously used, even if it is inexpensive, even if I will not be using it for an extended period. The most recent engine oil I purchased was a 20-liter tin of 5w-30 from Smith and Allen. I have used it once and there is still plenty oil remaining for many years. There has been a prolonged absence of Petronas on the market, as observed. Upon purchase, the item was identified as LL04. There is no justification for alteration.

Conventional hybrids often aim to maintain their batteries at approximately 50%, particularly the newest models. while beyond 50%, they prioritise using more electricity; while below 50%, they prefer using the engine.

Have you seen its location, though...:D It is beyond belief! That being said, while the final outcome is subjective, it seems to be very well executed and rather enjoyable. If he has really engaged in charitable endeavours, I commend him wholeheartedly.

Which engine should I choose for the C63 - the M156 or the M177?

I wholeheartedly agree with every point you made. Apologies for the unintended aggression in my response. It sprang from my unfavourable experience of interacting with this individual, as they had a dismissive attitude. As long as someone takes me seriously, I am eager to investigate the many possibilities that coding may uncover for my automobile. I would be willing to invest additional money in this endeavour. However, the individual in question did not seem to be really concerned, which was disappointing. I think they are also located overseas, but, I prefer to have a local individual work on the automobile.

Understood, excellent. I will contact you in the morning to explore potential solutions. I will inform you of the outcome.

I am located in Romford, which is in East London.

After doing extensive investigation, I have found that your response essentially encapsulates the conclusion of my research each time. I see that this expedition will not be a straightforward endeavour. I have spoken with MB, who have expressed their willingness to install the maps specifically for the United Kingdom. However, they have made it clear that they are not prepared to provide any other services beyond that. I have conversed with an individual who has the ability to remotely programme the automobile. However, they are demanding a fee of about £1k, which I seem to be an exorbitant amount for a mere coding task. Nevertheless, I suppose it may serve as a preliminary option.

Thank you! Currently, I have appended one image to my profile picture and I want to submit further images when I have sufficient time after my job commitments.

Greetings everyone, I am new to this platform, so please pardon me if this message is not formatted properly or placed in the appropriate location. I own a 2019 W222 S450 vehicle that I brought into the country from Japan. I have a strong affinity for the automobile due to its low mileage and excellent maintenance. I acquired it at a really favourable cost, making it an obvious choice for me. I have seen many observations that need advice in resolving these matters. Here is a summary of the issues: 1. The speedometer offers the ability to switch the units from kilometres per hour (KMPH) to miles per hour (MPH), however this only results in the speed being shown in MPH in a little font at the bottom of the display. All components of the speedometer, including the needle, digital speed display, mileage, range, trip, and fuel efficiency, are still measured in kilometres per hour (KMPH). How can I convert the full speedometer to display measurements in miles per hour (MPH)? 2. The vehicle is equipped with cameras for traffic sign recognition, but because the maps data is not available, I believe it is unable to read local traffic signs here in the UK. Will MB consider providing entertainment services if I pay for the installation, or is there a professional available to install UK maps with TSR data? 3. The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) were initially off by default (since Japanese people are not very fond of DRLs). However, when I activated them, they operated in the same manner as the car's sidelights. The rear lights remain constantly illuminated, while the front side lights, consisting of three strip lights in the updated S Class model, emit a dim glow. This is consistent with the behaviour of the lights when the side lights or parking lights are activated. The brightness of the DRLs in the S Class I saw is much lower compared to other S Class vehicles I have seen on the road. What actions can I do to enhance the brightness, or is it necessary to ensure accurate programming?
