Typically, one should not replace a single spring, since they 'settle' with time, resulting in a consistently uneven stance of the vehicle. Consequently, they are marketed in pairs.

While there may be some variation, this is my 212 Sport, equipped with factory springs and 18-inch wheels. Personally, I would want the rear to be lowered by half an inch, since I find the Sports to have a somewhat elevated rear stance, in my opinion.

Navigate to Settings on your infotainment display, then choose EV Settings. You will find the settings for the charge lock connector there.

Have you reviewed your settings in the Charge Connector section? There are choices to have the connector secured during charging, secured when attached, or set to "off".

The E46 is not quite a Morris Minor. The vehicle is very intricate, especially by contemporary standards. Uncertain. The peculiar occurrences are attributable to the car's radio, which is not a conventional model but rather a module linked to the i-bus, one of many internal data networks included in the e46. Additional modules linked to the i-bus include the instrument cluster, light control module, among others. Many components in the vehicle are interrelated, serving numerous functions; for instance, the radio antenna also functions as the key fob antenna and the rear window defroster. The antenna is linked to the radio by the k-bus and the i-bus. If the new radio is interfering with the i-bus, it might lead to apparently unrelated malfunctions in the key fob and instrument cluster.

I agree with that. The electrical systems in these vehicles are complex, requiring a sophisticated understanding of electronics and computing prior to any intervention. A few weeks ago, a participant from Norway on these boards reported that his vehicle failed to start in freezing conditions. We determined that his glow plugs were inoperative, and after many weeks of extensive testing, we concluded that the issue stemmed from his flashing of the ECU and the deletion of several files.Had he brought the automobile to a shop for diagnosis, he would have incurred unexpected expenses, and they likely would not have resolved the issue. Maintaining the original configuration is recommended.

Certainly, connect the old one and verify its functionality. If it does, then the new radio is the issue. Uncertain. It is likely supplying electricity to a wire that should not be energised. I would consult the radio's instructions to verify its proper installation and see if any settings need adjustment.

Does everything function properly upon re-installation of the original radio?

Investigate the forum for Prestige; they are very exceptional.

He is very competent and has extensive knowledge; if I recall correctly, he holds an SL. I speak from firsthand experience, since he has assisted me in several matters.

Thank you for the information. I have been attentive while starting the vehicle, since I am apprehensive about the possibility of it malfunctioning unexpectedly. I have encountered several alarming anecdotes, mostly from drivers of the 1 Series and Mini.

It seems the recall was exclusive to the United States, hence I still have some time before incurring significant expenses.

Thank you; it is a manual gearbox, and I did not even take into account the clutch and the dual mass flywheel.

Hello, This question has likely been posed before; nonetheless, each vehicle is distinct in its use and state. I own a 2013 BMW X3 2.0d with 75,000 miles and a complete service history, and I am apprehensive about the longevity of the timing chain. This is a recognised issue, and I have perused several forums on it; I need views on how to proceed. Currently, there are no indications of a problem; but, when should I begin to express concern and consider replacing the vehicle or financing the timing chain replacement? I believe BMW issued a recall on this matter, but I lack the means to ascertain if it was executed. It has a dealer history followed by servicing from independent providers. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Indeed, I share the same sentiment; nothing captivates me quite like my Evoque. I still have affection for it, however I acknowledge the need to change. I just began exploring Polestars and the new Volvo EX40, only to discover the considerable challenges associated with installing an electric charging station in my garage owing to the position of the electric meter cabinet. I may be able to use the Garage circuit on a 40A breaker; however, the neighbours have been informed that they can no longer use it too.

Impressive effort, Patagil! I requested a replacement of the manual gearbox oil at my previous service, and it now operates very well.

Verify the presence of aluminium bolts. If your answer is yes, then you are in for the recall. Apply a magnet to them.

What is the reason for choosing a complete repaint instead of opting for paint correction? Is the paint severely chipped?

It is quite probable that the issue lies with the valve stem oil seals and the low-quality plastic rings utilised by BMW on the pistons. Upon visual examination, it seems that the chain is stretched, however it may be hard to ascertain with certainty. Inspect the pipes and turbo for any potential leaks while examining the turbo setup. I recommend doing a comprehensive update by examining his writings as a reference. If the vehicle is also using coolant, it is advisable to replace the water pump with a Pierburg brand, the rear link pipe with a BMW brand, and the thermo housing with a Febi brand. When replacing any item, it is advisable to exclusively utilise authentic, commercially available parts. Generic, internet-sourced components are of inferior quality.

I was under the impression that this model is not available for purchase here, yet it undeniably has an appealing appearance.

I previously had the 19-inch wheels without any problems. However, I decided to switch to the AMG 20-inch wheels since I find their appearance more appealing.

I am experiencing tyre skipping while turning the steering wheel fully, and I believe that the probable source of this issue might be tyre stretching.

Indeed, I will provide a photograph of the wheels, which will clearly demonstrate that the tyre is stretched and does not align properly with the surface of the alloy. As a result of this stretching, the rim protection fails to adequately safeguard the rim. Additionally, the tyre appears excessively thin and disproportionate in relation to the car, raising concerns about its susceptibility to cracking
