  1. Indeed, that is spot on. I can rest easier after I replace the gasket. Much obliged, dude.
  2. Consequently, while swapping out the 116i's cylinder head, I somewhat ruined it.For months, I have dabbled with this, doing little things here and there. Over the weekend, I made the decision to fit the head. It didn't occur to me to install the non-return valves onto the block until after I had fitted the new gasket and rigorously torqued all the bolts in the correct sequence. What a dweeb! Could I just swap out the bolts and head for new ones, install the valves, and then swap out the head for the same gasket? Or would I also need to get a new gasket? Much obliged.
  3. Did you remove the carpet from the passenger side? Even though it seems dry on the outside, the thick layer of foam underneath makes it smell bad because it soaks up water. The "big yellow grommet" is a notoriously weak spot in the F10. Find it. Deserving of repair if the vehicle is in good shape
  4. I have removed the front wheels, and the driveshafts appear to be in good condition; is there a method to assess the front differential, or should I simply service it and evaluate the oil's quality? I appreciate the notification regarding the gearbox shaft.
  5. Indeed, I have observed all the problems associated with tires; these vehicles are exceedingly sensitive.
  6. Greetings everyone! I suspect I am experiencing a problem with my transfer case. The wife drove the x5 and upon returning reported a wobble at speeds of 40 to 50 mph; I inspected the vehicle, suspected a bent wheel, replaced the wheels with my spare set, but discovered no damage, yet the wobble persisted, leading me to consider servicing the transfer case. Reset adaptations for the serviced transfer case, yet the wobble persists. 🤯 I replaced the front prop during my visit as a precautionary measure. I replaced the oil with Ravenol oil, but suspecting the car might not respond well, I switched to genuine BMW DTF1, yet it continues to wobble. I am currently at a total impasse. Has my transfer case failed? Removing the fuse ceases the wobbling! I possess an extra transfer case that I am contemplating installing, provided it is not a substantial undertaking. Does anyone possess any counsel? Causing me significant stress and contemplating executing x-delete 😂
  7. In 2016, I cleaned one of these for a friend and was astonished by the size of the rear seats, resembling a racing jockey's saddle, with numerous components to clean, including the rear quarter ducts.
  8. Hello there, 10,000 millilitres and the standard 1 litre
  9. Hello, I've done 97,000 mls of oil in my 2017 520i, and now it's using half of the oil between services. Is this normal?

  11. The 2 litre straight six engine that debuted on the BMW 5 series in 1987 piques my interest.
  12. The cable bracket seems to be the sole distinguishing feature.
  13. Likewise, I had that same impression. The three vendors I contacted, though, all wanted the VIN number as confirmation. And they still claim it's not the correct one, even if the PNs match? Very frustrating! Accordingly, the PN mentioned earlier appears to be fruitless.
