  1. fully autonomous. skipped the main dealer after just a few vehicles. my wife's car, which I purchased for her from a dealership, has been going to merc, and two cars that I purchased brand new while they were still under warranty. There was a time when I went to the Honda dealer with my Honda.
  2. What I recently spent on diff service was as follows: 370 GBP for gearbox service, 79 GBP for electronic diff oil change, 53 GBP for brake fluid change and 340 GBP for AMG Petronas oil change.
  3. Since it hasn't been examined recently, I can't say for sure if the present DPF is blocked; however, I can say that he installed a cheaper, non-genuine BMW one. Is anybody aware of anything that could be triggering the problem? There could be a few possibilities, I suppose!
  4. I see your point. I have to figure out the root of the problem! Best regards
  5. Hello everyone, it became audible in December and has already completed 200k. The mechanic had to replace the DPF since it had become completely blocked. It worked OK for three weeks, but now it's acting up again, and I'm not sure whether it's worth mending because of how much it would cost. Please let me know your opinions on this.
  6. The cold is the cause. The specified range is merely an approximation as well. Utilising the trip meter may yield results that deviate from the quoted figure. The heater/climate system significantly consumes electrical energy to regulate cabin temperature in cold conditions.
  7. I believe the clutch pack is durable, provided the user acknowledges its limitations. Do not maintain the vehicle on an uphill using the throttle; utilise the auto-hold feature or the parking brake instead. Do not approach crossroads and roundabouts cautiously; permit the vehicle to come to a complete halt if movement is obstructed by other traffic. It is essential that consumers do not regard the gearbox as a conventional fluid-coupled automatic.
  8. Did you purchase from a dealer rather than an individual? If this is the case, the Consumer Rights Act entitles you to return the vehicle to the dealer for repairs. You own this entitlement for any issues identified within six months from the date of purchase. The dealer is responsible for resolving this issue; it is his concern, not yours. While I believe this to be the case, I must verify; however, within 30 days of purchase, you are entitled to a full refund upon returning the vehicle—though I suspect you may not like to pursue this course of action about this matter.
  9. It is probable that the battery has deteriorated, if the illuminated indicator is orange rather than red. At low revolutions and with the alternator not operating at full capacity, rapidly twisting the steering wheel causes the power steering system to draw from the battery for assistance. If the battery is degraded, this may temporarily illuminate the warning light. There is no cause for concern; however, a new winter battery or a complete maintenance charge will likely resolve the issue.
  10. I am considering applying paint protection film to the front of the A35. It requires an initial amount of adjustment. I intended to undertake the task independently, but fortunately, one of my closest friends is an expert in PPF.
  11. My driving primarily involves short excursions, such as dropping off at the station and trips to the grocery, both of which are less than a mile away. I primarily work from home, and when I commute to the office, it is merely a 15-minute journey. I am not the most qualified individual to provide fuel economy statistics. I operate a 2.0i BMW not for enjoyment, but owing to its significantly lower operating costs compared to a Ford Mondeo, as I perform most of the maintenance and repairs myself. If you seek a 2017-18 model, I recommend selecting a late 2017 variant. The headlight was upgraded from Xenon to LED. A cursory observation may not reveal the distinction, but the giveaway is that the Xenon features a diamond-shaped headlamp wash cover on the bumper, whilst the LED does not.
  12. I currently possess a 420i, however I have been provided with a 420d six-speed manual loan vehicle for two weeks while my previous E92 is being fixed by the insurance company. I remember driving the 420d, which had considerable torque, and I certainly tested the car at every red light. That was my first experience driving a diesel vehicle, which differed significantly from driving a petrol one. If you seek a vehicle for commuting and daily use with little operating expenses, the 420d is suitable; it is unremarkable compared to my 420i but offers slightly more torque. However, if you desire enhanced performance, consider the six-cylinder option. I would personally refrain from opting for X-drive unless absolutely necessary, as it introduces a another potential failure point as the vehicle ages. There are already several concerns associated with an older BMW.
  13. It is precisely in the place depicted in your image. At a minimum, concerning the TSPP. The object resembles the camera lens of your mobile phone.
  14. Indeed, I believe they will require 255/40R17 tires.
