  1. This has been noted by another individual. It will return to the garage on Tuesday. Thank you for your response.
  2. Thank you, everyone. It will be placed in the garage on Tuesday. 👍
  3. Hello, I just purchased my first 335d xDrive and am experiencing difficulties engaging sports mode. I will depart in the morning and allow the vehicle to reach optimal temperature before using sports mode. When I use sports mode, it lacks any sense of responsiveness. If I pull aside, turn off the engine, lock the doors, then unlock and restart the engine in sports mode, it operates without issue. Could you provide any insights on the cause of this occurrence, please?
  4. On many times, I sought a return from Amazon and was instructed to retain the item despite receiving a full refund. On a separate occasion, I requested a refund due to the non-arrival of an item. A few days after obtaining the complete refund, the item was delivered to my doorstep. I contacted Amazon to express my intention to make a payment, but they advised me to retain the item without charge. How peculiar.
  5. The temperature influences the oil levels, which fluctuate when the oil cools and warms owing to expansion. Ensure to transition the gear selector through each gear for 20 seconds, commencing and concluding in the park position. A scanner would further provide the temperature of the automatic gearbox fluid.
  6. They possess a predetermined threshold for cold temperatures and a distinct threshold for hot temperatures. The dipstick must be of the appropriate length.
  7. If it is equipped with H7 HID, then these are not normal lights; it seems that aftermarket HID bulbs have replaced the halogen ones at some point in its lifespan.
  8. H8 bulbs are designated for daytime running lights on pre-LCI E92 models. I believe that halogen dip is H7 and HID is D1S. I believe fog lights are H8 as well; I cannot recall with certainty whether the primary headlights with halogen bulbs are also H7, but I suspect they are.
  9. I own a 2024 CX30 Exclusiv with 186 horsepower and have significant moisture on the inside of the windscreen during cold weather. The windscreen warmer function is ineffective, resulting in very damp electronic garments. Has anybody else had this difficulty, since it is causing me much frustration?
  10. I believe my sensitivity to noise is the issue, but I will get it re-evaluated. Thank you for the responses. 👍
  11. I purchased it from Honda Marshall, and it has just 15,000 kilometres on the odometer. Their technician conducted an extensive evaluation and said that, considering its age, the vehicle is in acceptable condition.
  12. I was unaware until after purchasing the vehicle that it was formerly a Motability car; it is unlikely that a car could be significantly damaged within three years and 15,000 miles.
  13. I am enquiring whether anyone can alleviate my concerns. I owned a 2012 1.4 Civic for five years, which operated exceptionally well, characterised by its smoothness and quietness. However, upon upgrading to a 2021 model Civic 1.5 turbo, I have noticed that it is considerably noisy upon startup and during operation. The gearbox exhibits a lack of precision and vibrates slightly during shifts, while both road and cabin noise levels are markedly elevated. Is there a mechanical issue, or is this model inherently noisier and less refined? Thank you in advance.
  14. I am aware and apprehensive that this will likely occur. I have a plan for my future moves, however I could phone you tomorrow for a discussion.
  15. Indeed, it is my primary concern as well. I want to ascertain if BMW would provide written confirmation of their criteria for pursuing goodwill, for instance, if a one-year deficiency in service history results in case closure. I doubt they will explain their stance, but I remain optimistic!
  16. Greetings everyone, In summary: Acquired a 2013 316d six months ago in a private transaction. Two prior owners, comprehensive service history. Presently has 55,000 miles. - Last Tuesday and Wednesday, I undertook a round journey to Birmingham, covering 200 miles, without any issues. On Thursday morning, my vehicle only cranks but fails to start. - Diagnosed yesterday at a BMW-approved expert; probable timing chain problem. They have estimated £7000 for the engine replacement. This brings me to this point. I am investigating possibilities for BMW to cover the repair costs (in part or in whole) since I believe the vehicle's performance has significantly declined below acceptable standards for its age, mileage, ownership, and service history. BMW has informed me that I must pay to have the problem assessed at one of their service centres, which is £220 per hour. They will thereafter evaluate the potential for pursuing any goodwill, taking into account factors such as age, mileage, ownership, and service history. I am somewhat concerned that the previous owner neglected service for two years. Furthermore, although I scheduled a service for the vehicle within the week of purchase, it was conducted at my local garage, which is not BMW authorised. Has anybody previously engaged in this matter with BMW? If you possess any proof demonstrating that BMW has established a precedent, I may be able to use it for my case. Thank you very much!
  17. The invoice indicates a negative response, yet the checklist for the replacement components confirms a positive response. The engine air filter and oil filters were also updated.
  18. Could someone kindly specify which components are to be changed during the 8-year service for a 2016 1.6 GT Line Petrol vehicle? I have searched extensively, and I am experiencing difficulties with the vehicle, including starting troubles, stalling at traffic signals, and inconsistent acceleration.
  19. I will purchase more supplies and attempt to replenish, but according to my typical use in past vehicles, frequent topping up should not be necessary. I had almost a quart remaining in a bottle at home from some time ago. I poured all of it in, but it did not alleviate the issue. The quantity was nearly at the top before I replenished it. I would have assumed that my additional quart would enough to eliminate the alert.
  20. Until almost a month ago, I would get intermittent alerts regarding low windscreen wiper fluid when on a steep incline, but these warnings would dissipate quickly after the car levelled off. Recently, the alert has activated each time I start the vehicle after about one minute, and it often sounds again while in motion. I inspected the reservoir; it was almost full, but I filled it to capacity, which did not resolve the issue. I had never previously interacted with the reservoir, but upon inspection, I struggled to secure the top firmly. To my knowledge, no one else has handled it; possibly the warning is because to its looseness, since I am unable to secure it firmly. It remains in position after some adjustment, but it is not firmly secured. A buddy in the area informed me that he has suddenly encountered the same problem; is anybody else experiencing this?
  21. Hi, I can share the number of my mechanic which help me upgrade to a facelift. Cheers
