  1. I had this issue several times and ultimately managed to resolve it. They indicated they would weld a nut on within one minute, but it was only after that they successfully liberated it.I damaged my BMW key nut, purchased a replacement for £22, and nearly compromised that one as well. The garage ultimately removed it using an air gun after 30 minutes. I have now removed all locking bolts from my car and will replace them with four standard bolts, ensuring that whoever re-tightens them applies the correct torque of 120/125 Nm. My M4 currently has spacers, so I have extended locking bolts, but I plan to replace them with four extended bolts to match.
  2. One must employ a degree of practical reasoning—merely one hour from the 130 kph speed restrictions in France.
  3. It has been on the market for over a year, likely approaching two years. I have visited several different dealerships. Initially priced at almost £60,000 at another dealership with the same mileage. It is unclear why there is a lack of interest, considering the import duty amounts to around £10,000.
  4. 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).
  5. I saw a considerable delay in the stated car location a few days ago.
  6. I cannot recall the size of the tips that fit over pipes when removing the old tips.
  7. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001335247290.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.10.452c1802MAZoaj&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=314851&sscid=69350_1762257547_dd45d483242de319788cc89e9f6d5b0c&awc=69350_1762257547_dd45d483242de319788cc89e9f6d5b0c
  8. If you seek advice, visit AliExpress; I have procured two sets from there, one for my F31 330d and another for my M4.Additionally, my 640d, in fact.
  9. 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.
  10. The manual's graphic specifies that the scissor jack must be placed in the region between the dimples.
  11. degraded/leaky injector, fuel quantity regulation valve
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Have you maybe previously given the fascia panel a gentle "tap"? Occasionally, this may liberate a jammed gauge.
