  1. Greetings, everyone! Purchased a 2015 420i convertible in July of this year. This is my second BMW, but several years have elapsed since my last ownership. The prior vehicle was a pre-owned 316 coupe that I purchased in 1994 and retained for five years until a family expansion necessitated the need for four doors instead of two. As a retiree with a fixed and limited income, I seek guidance and solutions to minimise maintenance expenses.
  2. The manual's graphic specifies that the scissor jack must be placed in the region between the dimples.
  3. degraded/leaky injector, fuel quantity regulation valve
  4. Do you own more than one-quarter of a tank of fuel?
  5. The end plugs must be replaced, rendering them unsellable by dealers. The replacement cost amounted to around £450. The dealer will not proceed with the service without payment for diagnostics, thereafter charging £150-£200 to provide information you have disclosed, in addition to components, labor, and VAT. £50 for two sensors and £400 for diagnosis and installation. Effortless profit.
  6. Do you have a suggested independent shop for servicing the automatic transmission of a BMW? They may possess the solution to your dilemma. Additionally, verify if your vehicle has any unresolved recalls.
  7. As already said. Nonetheless, I would verify that the vehicle is accurately represented as claimed - specifically, the 'Premium Plus package Night Edition' - since dealers have been known to err in their descriptions of automobiles in advertisements.
  8. That appears to be standard; they possess a configured thermostat and water pump. Temperature decreases following prolonged runs or during rapid acceleration for efficiency purposes. Both of my mercenaries exhibit this behaviour. The previous one had functioned without issues for six years.
  9. Shortly after acquiring my Magna, the digital clock on the centre console ceased functioning. Approximately six months later, I engaged in a heated dispute with a family member and, in a fit of anger, forcefully slammed the driver's door. That occurred around nine years ago. Both the clock and the family member remain operational. It was gratifying to reclaim my position with a piece of digital technology, rather than the typical outcome.
