  1. Thank you everyone. It will look great when it's clean, but it has started to become dirty already, but it still looks fine, I suppose.

    GC M440i

    Salutations, everyone, This Tanzanite Blue M440i GC with an Oyster interior, tech and comfort packs, a driving assistant, a sunroof, and originally from West Yorkshire, is the first BMW that the owner has ever owned. Mostly, VAG and Mercedes have been my points of contact. I began my driving career in a 2006 Volkswagen Polo, moved on to a Golf not long after, had a C204 Mercedes, drove a Jag XE-S for six months (extremely unreliable), and have been driving a Mercedes W205 for the past five years. Impressed by the B58's ride quality. You have already done a few things to the car, such as hardwiring the dashcam into the ridiculous fusebox under the driver's dash, fixing a sunroof squeak with silicone grease, and adjusting the bump stops for a rattling hatch. By the way, I recently had it detailed and coated with a three-year ceramic finish.
  3. what is an air purifier? petrol filter? sluggish step? It's possible that any injector adjustment between -1 and 1 is problematic. In regard to one another, it is only a correction.
  4. Verify that the new size complies with the vehicle's standards; ensure you enter your inputs first: https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/

  7. What tire size is most suitable for a rim with a J width?
  8. Determine the meaning of OE: https://www.wheel-size.com/size/
  9. To assist with ET and tyre dimensions, experiment with these.
  10. Affirmative, negative, uncertain. I have recently traversed this route, as the surrounding roads are in bad condition. The 19-inch rims result in a harsh ride, and the M-Sport specifications are prone to cracking, leading to air leaks and error codes. The tyre expert is correct in asserting that installing larger tyres on current rims disrupts telemetry and may affect insurance, suspension clearance, and other factors. Transitioning from run-flat tires (RFT) to conventional tires will yield a more supple ride. They are less expensive, more readily available, and repairable; however, it is prudent to seek a space-saver or an additional full-size rim for an onboard spare. RFT may perform adequately on smooth, clean roads, but becomes ineffective when driven on flat surfaces. In my experience, you can seal them if you identify the leak first, but not after they have been flattened and driven on. Yes, you may go for 16" tires, since they will offer the maximum sidewall height, providing greater rubber contact between the road and rim, resulting in a more comfortable ride. You will significantly notice the improvement in ride quality. While you may observe a reduction in handling, based on my experience, the existing speed restriction and the absence of a Nuremberg track nearby render this mostly unimportant, especially considering that vehicles once exceeded 200 km/h on that circuit with 60-70 sidewall tires. I replaced the staggered 19" run-flat M-Sport tires on my E93 with a $400 square set of 17" tires obtained from the wreckers. During my visit, I acquired a space saver from an E60, a compact scissor jack, and many normal wheel nuts to replace the locking nuts. I assumed that all BMWs utilise the same locking nut; nevertheless, the perpetrators may possess the key, making it still another trivial item to standardise in case of loss. My primary challenge was locating a pair of 17" rims that I favoured, which also had an appropriate offset (ET) compatible with the vehicle. The 5x120 bolt pattern is prevalent among most BMW models manufactured post-2005, I believe. Numerous individuals designate 18" as the optimal size; nevertheless, in my opinion, it only provided an additional 15mm of rubber in wall height. 16 inches; I had not encountered a set until the 17 inches were installed on the vehicle, but for a 1992 model, they may appear somewhat diminutive. It is fundamentally a matter of personal preference. I transitioned from 225/35/19 8J-et37 and 255/30/19 9J-et39 to 235/45/17 7.5J-et37; as all tires maintained the same rolling circumference, the vehicle remains unaffected.
  11. That is a reasonable assertion; but, I wish to upgrade to a more rapid vehicle with a V8 engine. I have owned my 2007 650 for almost 14 years. It was inexpensive at the time of purchase and currently has just 60,000 miles. It requires £1,000 to £2,000 to repair engine and gearbox leaks. I may chose to undertake the repairs and retain the vehicle for an additional three years.
  12. Locate a 2015 M6 with comparable mileage at a reduced price to economise.
  13. The listed price is £19,990. To repair leaks, the cost ranges from £1,500 to £2,500. If the typical suspects are from an independent garage, is the cost up to £5,000? by BMW thief, but significantly more if it pertains to the head gasket. Concerns arise from two fractured rear coil springs, which may indicate exposure to harsh terrain or aggressive driving. I will provide the URL if permitted by the administrator.
  14. I am astonished that damaged coils occur in vehicles with such low mileage; they typically manifest in older cars, those subjected to potholes, vehicles used on racetracks, or in extremely cold climates.
