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.
-
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.

The 640i is equipped with the B58 engine, I am certain.
-
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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For a 2014 BMX X5, how can I clean or replace the front parking sensor?

Detach the bumper. -

Apply a little WD-40 or something similar once it has dried. Wash them gently with a jet-wash. -
I suppose so. Did the last MOT take wear into account?

Poor damping is what it sounds like. You can rule it out because your tires are of great quality.
-
The dampers may not be working properly. I am curious as to why the springs were replaced. By the way, could you tell me what kind of tires were put on, and I'll assume the pressures are right?
-
That is a really thoughtful reply. I am really appreciative. Throughout are a few excellent pieces of advice. There are 127,000 miles on the vehicle. It is a 2010 model year. Instead of a service book, it just includes a few haphazard receipts. It appears that the air filter has been neglected for a while, given its state and the number of unresolved issues.

These will fall if the panel is removed carelessly. Here, YouTube is great. I can rebuild it, but it's going to be a real pain. You may find new replacement panels on eBay. While it's out, change the bulbs in the back; that's probably why someone took it apart and destroyed it.
