  1. It is worth noting that BMW invests a significant amount of time and financial resources towards enhancing the auditory experience of its vehicles. The 325TI vehicle I previously had was equipped with a sound generator located under the engine hood and connected to the ECU compartment. The ECU compartment functions as a sound amplifier, as shown by the effect of drilling a huge hole underneath the air filter box to produce a resonant roaring sound.
  2. While it is acknowledged that the aforementioned elements, such as the inclusion of a phony turbo whistle sound and the use of an M3 badge, are well-known, the focus is mostly on the concept or notion being conveyed.
  3. Thankfully, purchasing a new set of bulbs is not too expensive. The Osram Nightbreakers are a must-have.
  4. Increasing the color temperature of a light bulb beyond around 4400k makes it seem brighter than it really is. Personally, I think 6000k is too high.
  5. I agree with both of these statements; a thorough deep cleaning of the automobile is required if the odor is to be diminished. It will be necessary to employ steam cleaning and carpet extraction to thoroughly clean all surfaces. If you don't thoroughly clean the interior glass surfaces (including the sunroof), the odor will return when you leave the vehicle in the sun on a warm day. The odor may never be completely gone, but it may certainly be mitigated.
  6. You can only rely on a chain as much as its weakest link. Even if just one employee failed to pass along your message, the whole organization will be tarnished if they did not. Mistakes are made, and not everyone is as careful as they should be. NOT an explanation, but reality imposed itself. However, I believe that a company's true character may be shown in how they react after an error of this kind. The right strategy is. As soon as they accept responsibility, they act as rapidly as they reasonably can to make things right. The dealership's apparent failure in that regard is totally intolerable. You might try appealing your case higher up. -Someone in the company will (or should) prioritize the happiness of its clientele.
  7. If the spark plugs and the fuse for the fuel pump are removed, the engine will not start to do the compression test. I believe I'll need to consult with a hybrid specialist. A more sophisticated scan tool with a compression test may be required...
  8. I'm not sure how the previous proprietor managed to misfuel it, but he did! Dealers are uncomfortable at the best of circumstances, so I will not even attempt to interact with them. I require the assistance of a hybrid expert to determine how to perform a compression test on the engine. I can't even directly power the starter motor because I just discovered there isn't one!
  9. Hello, the dealers would not look at it under warranty since it seems to have been misfueled in the past. It's a luxury 2018 Hybrid model from the United Kingdom. According to what I've heard, dealers may connect a diagnostic tool and put it to compression test mode, which turns off the gasoline, ignition, and cranks the engine to do the test. Is it possible to do a compression test on this automobile without purchasing an expensive scan/diagnostic tool?
  10. Hello, cylinder 2 won't start. I've changed the spark plugs, the coil pack, and the injector, but nothing works. I'm now ready to do a compression test, but I don't know how to start the engine to do this. Who can tell me what the best way to do this is? On a regular car, I'd pull the fuse for the fuel pump and turn the key. We'd be grateful for any help...
  11. My 2014 2.2D went in for a MOT and a "Powertrain Control Module update" at the same time. I think it might have something to do with the new EU carbon rules for 2018. Does anyone know more about this?
