  1. The M badge merely serves as a symbol; the construction of M vehicles is in a different category altogether. Examine this; I still view it occasionally, one of the motivations for purchasing the M4.
  2. In my opinion, it is more expensive; I possess the S55 in my M4, which features excellent engines, yet every engine from any manufacturer has its own issues.I have possessed it for almost four years, only expending what I truly desired; the charge cooler was the sole component that failed, costing £500 for an upgraded version and installation.The remainder were standard, such as plugs, springs, and other maintenance services, etc.
  3. The 640i is equipped with the B58 engine, I am certain.
  4. Verts may experience leakage issues, particularly in the 4 series; it is uncertain if the 2 series shares this problem. The B58 engine is excellent but has minor issues; conducting online research on the eccentric shaft motor and other minor concerns related to cooling, valve cover leaks, and oil filter housing is advisable.
  5. Amazon.co.uk : Range Rover Evoque DPF
  6. A dpf regeneration should be indicated by a dash light on the L551 diesel, which is a green variant of the red dpf full warning. Despite having the car scanner in the center of the CarPlay screen and knowing that a regeneration has just finished, I have never seen it!
  7. My vehicle has reached 75,000 miles, thus it is comparable. I have experienced minor stuttering at partial throttle and occasionally a wisp of blue smoke upon ignition (I had the startup roar activated in bm3). I experienced minor pressure while opening the oil filler cap during operation, leading me to suspect the PCV valve; I had purchased a new valve cover but had not yet found the time to replace it… Currently, there is an excessive amount of compression in the crankcase; it resembles the sensation of placing your hand over the exhaust.
  8. My vehicle's date is March 2017, so I suspect the injectors are original 👎 I doubt they have been replaced, although it's possible - I will verify the part numbers on the injectors when I remove the engine. Legit streetcars recently released a video detailing a Mercedes engine failure caused by improper spark plug alignment, resulting in a melted cylinder wall - it seems almost unbelievable 🤯 The notice I possess is in Danish, but I will endeavor to translate it and forward it.
  9. Identical narrative to my 2017 Countryman Cooper S All4 that ceased functioning last week. Zero compression observed on cylinder two… I was also operating BM3 stage 1, but with 91 octane. I also have significant reservations that the melody was the cause of its demise. I discovered a service bulletin regarding the B48, indicating that the spark plugs must be oriented properly; otherwise, the electrode may disrupt the injector spray pattern and flame front, potentially leading to melted pistons and cylinder walls. Mercedes encountered the identical problem. Interestingly, I replaced the spark plugs with Bosch ones approximately six months ago… I still need to verify whether the plugs have different threading, but Bosch claims they are not clock-specific. I have been considering replacing the B48A20T1 from the LCI JCW models, but it appears to be a complex task due to the altered DME module and its utilization of a more recent "bordnetz" communication protocol compared to the 2017 BDC. Additionally, it necessitated replacing the transmission, although that would have been feasible.
  10. I have successfully activated plug and charge in Electroverse, and it appears as operational on the Ford App; I will test it during my next long journey.
  11. Amazon.co.uk : Ford Puma
  12. Amazon.co.uk : Electroverse EV charging
  13. I primarily recharge at home, yet I appreciated the ease of plug-and-charge on the previous Blueoval charging network. Consequently, I periodically verified whether the Puma had been incorporated into Electroverse, and it appears that the recent TCU-26.2.11.5 update has facilitated its inclusion.
