  1. Indeed, I transitioned from my previous 520d to the current 520d, which has 31,000 miles on it. And you believe that everything will improve. However, I was profoundly disillusioned. I proceeded towards the highway and saw that the automobile exhibited instability between 70 km/h and 120 km/h, accompanied by a persistent hum (a “brrrr” sound) that happens in a steady rhythm, significantly diminishing the driving experience. Account of the subject matter: It produces a sound like "brrrr...brrrr...brrrr." A negligible gap appears between each "brrrr"/hum. The music does not accelerate with increasing speed, seeming to adhere to a constant beat. At speeds beyond 120 km/h, my ability to see it diminishes significantly, and it appears to vanish, maybe due to the rushing wind. - The music remains consistent in rhythm, irrespective of acceleration or RPM. - The hum maintains a consistent beat at 80 or 110 km/h. - Operating the vehicle at speeds of 80-110 and disengaging the engine does not fix the issue. - Operating a vehicle at speeds of 80-110 mph while in neutral. The sound persists, and acceleration proves ineffective. - It seems somewhat detectable in the steering wheel, however not in the same cadence. - The noise seems to emanate from underneath the driver's side, towards the front (rather than the back). - The sound and sensation in my steering wheel are imperceptible below 60 km/h and over 120 km/h. - Not discernible when stationary, even during engine revving. At speeds over 130 km/h, wind noise predominates. At speeds below 60 km/h, I cannot perceive or hear it. - Replaced the four wheels and tires. No enhancement. It is entirely undermining the tranquil driving experience at speeds between 75-115 km/h. Do you possess any insight, gentlemen?
  2. I am aware of an E46 330d coupe with over 340,000 km, which is rising annually. Clearly, he has invested a considerable amount of money in it over the years. My E46 320d had 246,000 km and showed no signs of cessation except from the corrosion.
  3. Hello, I am considering the vehicle mentioned in the headline. I had an E46 for a decade until it succumbed to corrosion, and I am now seeking my next car. My primary inquiry is if the six-speed automatic gearbox is dependable and free of issues. When is it recommended to replace the oil and filter? Aside from that, does the M57 engine maintain the dependability of the E46 model? What other prevalent issues should be considered during pre-purchase inspections? such as the rear subframe or damper pulley, among others. Thank you!
  4. I own a personal container of rim-sealant that I keep on hand in the event that I need to have tires installed. One of my strong dislikes is tires that slowly lose air.
  5. Did your tires experience a decrease in pressure prior to being replaced with new ones? There may be a leakage occurring at the rims.
  6. As already said. Valves typically have a long lifespan, but the presence of old soapy water might indicate a leak.
  7. I would recommend adding new gasoline to the vehicle after it has been lying idle for three years, particularly if it contains E10.
  8. After thoroughly examining the topic, it seems that a potential problem might be the deteriorating condition of both my alternator and voltage regulator. Another module is the IBS module. Both scenarios would result in electrical complications that the automobile would not like - what are your thoughts?
  9. Although I did not precisely test those features, the central locking, interior door lighting, and alarm systems all operated correctly.
  10. I was expecting to take a more aggressive approach rather than passively waiting for the next disappointment.It may have a latency of up to one year
  11. Approximately one year ago, the automobile failed me. Upon pressing the start button, there was no response or action. We contacted the breakdown service, and upon their arrival, the technician requested me to showcase the issue - at this point, the automobile unexpectedly resumed functioning. After recharging the battery, I proceeded on. There were no indicators or signals of caution. Yesterday, I had the same problem where there were no warning signs, just the typical start-up process followed by silence while pressing the start button. On this occasion, I patiently waited for just 30 minutes, and to my delight, the engine started and the radio began playing. Typically, when my battery is low, the audio becomes muted. She has been functioning properly since, and as a precautionary measure, I have connected the battery charger. I connected the OBD scanner and it detected 2 problems. The A0B3 CAS is experiencing a failure in the Starter Motor Terminal 50 and the LM voltage. I find this situation unsettling and I may draw certain inferences, since this is not a function that I want for my BMW, considering that I use it on a regular basis. 1) The possible cause might be the battery, however it was installed in January 2022, so it is not considered old. 2) Mechanically, there are no issues. The starting motor functions properly and the vehicle starts without any problems, as it has done during its whole lifespan, including today, save for these two separate occurrences. 3) Fuses must be undamaged due to point 2 Therefore, I am faced with the possibility that either the battery is the issue or there is some type of sporadic malfunction in the CAS system. I would appreciate suggestions about the next steps to take in order to isolate this problem. Thank you in advance
  12. To get the most accurate information, it is recommended to connect an ammeter in series with the battery. This will provide you with information on current events and their respective timings. The problem may occur sporadically. If not, then you may have a defective alternator (which is intermittent) or a defective battery. There are few additional options available.
  13. It is necessary to verify whether the electrical systems of your automobile enter a state of 'sleep mode' within a time frame of 10 to 15 minutes after the car is locked. You may own an object that consistently consumes energy. Occasionally, it is features such as power seats that are responsible. Another potential issue might be the alarm system. Typically, the internal rechargeable battery tends to fail after a few years, causing it to use more power than necessary. Identifying the exact reason might be a tedious process that involves removing fuses and using an ammeter to monitor the battery depletion. The ammeter should be connected in series with either the positive or negative battery connection. If the auto systems experience a shutdown, the power drain should be below 30mA. If the power drain remains excessive, begin removing fuses until you identify the problematic circuit.
  14. The one shared by the original poster (OP) is manufactured by the Topgear brand. I own their whole exhaust system, extending from the downpipe to the rear, and it exhibits commendable quality. The automobile has had it installed for a duration of three years without any grievances. The item was fitted at the factory and the stainless steel material remains in pristine condition. Regarding the sound, it significantly enhances the exhaust note and produces a deep and resonant sound when the valves are open. Without being too boisterous. Regrettably, the price has significantly increased, since I originally spent about £2050 (~$2500 at the time) for the whole system.
  15. Will the state alter or disappear if you slightly lower the windows individually? It is worth attempting anything.
  16. Which tyres are currently installed on the vehicle?
  17. The grinding noise is caused by the detachment of one of the shafts from the differential, resulting in a loss of drive.
  18. He provided them with a favourable deal...I just had my automobile repaired to get a blacked-out appearance.
  19. Thank you for the information, everyone. Please refer to the text below.The factory Audi Setup seems to exceed the 5% threshold, but the generally used combination exceeds 6.24%. It is possible that there is an error margin, considering the superior knowledge of Audi engineers compared to mine.I will proceed with my current configuration and inform all of you about the outcome.My vehicle, a 2017 Base model, will not be lowered.Please verify the figures, although I believe they are accurate. The front tyres have a size of 245/30/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 305/30/20. These tyre sizes are the ones originally installed by Audi. The difference in diameter between the front and rear tyres is 5.50%. The front tyres have a size of 245/35/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 305/30/21. The difference in diameter between the front and rear tyres is 5.43%. The front tyres have a size of 255/35/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 305/30/21. The difference in diameter between the front and rear tyres is 4.36%. The front tyres have a size of 255/35/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 315/30/21. The difference in diameter between the front and rear tyres is 5.23%. The front tyres have a size of 245/30/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 325/30/21. Difference in diameter: 11.21% The front tyres have a size of 245/35/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 325/30/21. The difference in diameter between the front and rear tyres is 7.20%. The front tyres have a size of 255/35/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 325/30/21. I have decided to choose the following option: the difference in diameter is 6.10%. The front tyres have a size of 245/30/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 325/25/21. This combination is often used. Difference in diameter: 6.24%
  20. Greetings, everyone...I bought the Signature Forged SV310s in 20/21 from Fasthawk on this forum.I want to have all of them repainted in Gloss Black and install red fasteners on the back. Specifications: 20x9 with an offset of ET32. The dimensions of the object are 21 inches in width, 12 inches in height, and have an offset of 32 millimetres. I have a question... 1) I have heard that if I raise the size of the tyre sidewall uniformly, I should anticipate the failure of the rear differential bearing.Expanding the tyre size to 245/35/20 and either 305 or 325/30/21...In my previous 2015 R8, I successfully enlarged the dimensions of the walls on my 20" ADV1 wheels without encountering any problems. However, my luck took a turn for the worst when I was struck by a drunk motorist who ran a red light while travelling at a speed of 35 miles per hour.What are your opinions or reflections on this matter?I prefer the use of larger sidewalls to reduce the potential hazards posed by the poor road conditions in Houston and to limit the amount of noise that enters the cabin of the vehicle. All feedback is highly valued and welcomed.
  21. As the adage goes, whether it comes to sensors, such as BMW sensors or branded aftermarket ones like Bosch, buying cheap will result in having to purchase again in the future.
  22. Amazon offers a wide range of "stick on" Head-Up Displays (HUDs). They seem to have varied evaluations yet are priced at merely a few pounds. It may be advantageous to examine.
  23. Would flats that are not run be compatible with the same rim? May I get same dimensions?
