Merely validated my initial assumption. It is unfortunate, as this appears excellent, and I have observed W211 models utilising them; it seems the wheel hub differs among the 220, 280, 320, etc. Thank you for your time; nevertheless, I believe the wheels are available for purchase if anyone is interested. 235/40/R18 front Rear tires: 255 or 265/35/18. Front tires were recently balanced before to fitting; rear tires require replacement due to deterioration and sidewall cracking.

I am acquainted with an individual who enlarged the holes for a larger thread size; he experienced no complications, and it was frequently utilised off-road. Am I inclined to undertake it? Negative. I would sell them and purchase the appropriate wheels, as they were evidently not intended for your vehicle. It is not solely the hole size that is affected; the radius surrounding the bolt head is also larger, which presents a significant challenge, if not an impossibility, to rectify. Dispose of them.
-
I believe that is precisely what is occurring. The question now is how and whether I can accommodate them.
-
Mercedes predominantly employs either M12 x 1.5 (often on older automobiles) or M14 x 1.5 (on more recent models). It appears you are attempting to accommodate 14mm bolts in wheels intended for 12mm bolts. Prepare to utilise a drill.;

The 5x112 bolt pattern is accurate. The standard centre bore is 66.6 mm; I believe the issue is with the nut, which does not fit through the new alloy wheel. Thank you for your response.
-
Clarify the term "don't fit." Will not fit through the apertures in the wheels? Is the bolt spacing different? Is it insufficient in length? Is the profile dissimilar?
-
By the way, the 18-inch wheels originated from the 2004 E55, so they are indeed year-appropriate, which is somewhat perplexing to me.

Greetings, everyone. I am the delighted owner of a W211 E220 CDI Avantgarde with an automatic gearbox. In excellent condition, I decided to indulge in a set of period-correct AMG wheels to complete the aesthetic. Could someone kindly elucidate why they do not fit? The wheel nuts from my regular factory 16-inch 5-spoke wheels are incompatible with the 18-inch wheels I purchased; therefore, if I attempt to use a different nut, it will not fit the hub, correct? Kindly assist; the images depict an attractive car, and alloy wheels would enhance its aesthetic appeal. Thank you for your attention; I hope someone can assist me, as all the "alloy specialists" have recently disappointed me.

Acquiring further knowledge regarding BMW maintenance

As previously stated, always perform intermediate oil changes as well. If it is a diesel, ensure you take it for an extended drive at least once a week. -

Grateful for the counsel I will increase the frequency of oil changes and routinely inspect the fluids. -

Petroleum and H2O. Change the oil more frequently than the suggested interval. Subsequently, conduct a search on Google for the remaining aspects. -

Greetings to everybody, As a newcomer, I seek to acquire knowledge on fundamental maintenance recommendations for BMW vehicles. What are the essential components to monitor periodically to ensure optimal vehicle performance? Any guidance or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
-
Given the aforementioned information, do you believe it is mostly a sensor issue?
-
What is GLB?
-
They are experiencing problems with the oil level monitors.
-
No apparent issues. This issue commenced a few days before to my Service A, and they did not mention anything. Do you recommend utilising a mercenary or an independent contractor for this purpose?
-
Are there no oil leaks?
-
It does not. Last night, it said to add 1 litre. The previous day, it indicated a reduction in engine oil. Merc performed a service two weeks prior.
-
Only if the oil level was extremely low, as the engine would overheat and seize. Does it presume that the vehicle lacks a manual dipstick?
-
If the issue were genuinely oil-related, would I have seen unusual sounds or a change in performance?
-
Indeed, a defective engine oil level sensor appears possible.

I possess a Mercedes-Benz GLB 200. A yellow notice unexpectedly arrived a few weeks ago, indicating the need to reduce engine oil, despite the oil having been replenished six months earlier. I drove the automobile to the dealership, and on that day, the notice did not appear. They ultimately performed Service A. A few days later, the notice reappeared. The vehicle was inactive for a week; now it displays a red notice indicating to switch off the engine oil. It occurs sporadically and may not manifest throughout my subsequent journey. The vehicle operates satisfactorily. No unusual sounds, etc. Today, it indicated to add 1 litre at the next filling; nevertheless, two minutes later, the red notice reappeared. The engine warning indicator is not illuminated. I am arranging the booking. Do you believe it is a sensor-related problem? Thank you very much

Intermittent responses from the Mercedes Me app in recent days
CelestialSeeker replied to KWILB's topic in General Car Chat
He states that the 2022 C-class is not associated with the 3G discontinuation. I'd say MB Me service behaved a little as it very often does (in many various ways).
