Retain it. Components are inexpensive and simple to assemble. These vehicles can reach a mileage of 500,000 miles with proper upkeep.

You make a good point; I'll probably go with the more convenient option, but it annoys me that there's a £16 discrepancy between 95p and 55p for a 40kwh charge—and the TravelLodge is only £36! Take the instavolt chargers opposite the hotel as an example. They're 55p with their app, so I think that's a good idea. However, when I go to use them, I see that I need to change my debit card, which means they'll take £20 off my account. I'm not sure if I'll actually use it, and the only time I can get it is from 8pm, when the cheap rate starts, until 9pm, when the car park closes. The same issue with paying 92p according to our arrival time. Moving on a little, there are a few new Aeon chargers; the zap map indicates 74p, 24 hours. However, after doing some additional research, I have discovered that - 74p with zap-pay and 85p everywhere else. No way to go back to the hotel while it charges because leaving the parking lot will cost you £100.The list is endless!

These days, if I'm planning a good excursion outside of my usual area, the first place I'll look for a charging station is a Tesla public charger. They're usually the quickest and cheapest, so it's a win-win situation.

It's worth noting that the original equipment manufacturer Toyo Open Country A50 tires were installed on my 24 model with 21" wheels. After 38,000 miles (with a few more to go), I got new ones. Some 19" wheels were originally equipped with Toyo Open Country A51 tires. That is, if there is an alternate dealer option that is either free or has a discounted price.

Yes, both inside and outside the car, to answer your second question. I made the door stop doing that 18 months ago. The problem is that I have no idea how I accomplished it; after all, no human memory is perfect. Fixing central locking is a real pain in the neck, I get it. Is the estimated repair cost in the hundreds?

To all the users of this site, my back is The same thing that happened around 18 months ago—the passenger door won't open—has happened again. Is this possible for a failed mot test?

Greetings to everybody, After what seems like an eternity, I have returned to the fold in the form of my most recent purchase, The C209, a 2005 CLK240 Coupe

I had contemplated that; however, the i8 wheel features a metal insert at its centre, rendering this alternative unfeasible. By the way, the image is not of my steering wheel, but rather one from a new i8.

Thank you, however I have already utilised a steam cleaner, and it has not removed any stains. The vehicle was acquired two years ago with 15,000 miles and is currently eight years old, having been utilised infrequently. However, I am aware that the former owner was a sophisticated, older woman who likely used considerable amounts of hand lotion, which I suspect is the cause of the issue.

Greetings, Have any BMW i8 owners experienced issues with their steering wheel becoming excessively glossy and slippery? I enquire because I have attempted to clean it with numerous leather cleaning agents, but to no effect. The leather appears to possess a glossy finish throughout. The former owner was a woman, leading me to presume that the surface was coated in hand cream; nonetheless, nothing seems to remove what appears to be present, rendering it increasingly hazardous to drive due to its slipperiness. Since 1975, I have had numerous vehicles, yet I have never encountered a steering wheel as slick as this one. Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Grateful for the counsel I will increase the frequency of oil changes and routinely inspect the fluids.

Greetings to everybody, As a newcomer, I seek to acquire knowledge on fundamental maintenance recommendations for BMW vehicles. What are the essential components to monitor periodically to ensure optimal vehicle performance? Any guidance or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I believe he refers to converting the exhaust from a single pipe with dual tips to dual pipes, one at each end of the vehicle, rather than merely replacing the tailpipes.

I possess an F10 525d with a conventional exhaust and wish to modify it to the 535d type, including one exhaust tip on each end. There is an exhaust facility in the Wolverhampton/Walsall area that can either cut or replace the rear diffuser. I was quoted approximately £450, as I recall.

They merely detached a sensor and a bracket securing the cable harness, without removing the manifold. Appears to be uncomplicated? Utilising the appropriate socket length and extension, etc. It may be possible to accomplish this without removing anything except for the hose and the valve. However, the visibility is suboptimal, and you will likely need to do a laborious process initially, subsequently determining the appropriate socket, ratchet, and extension combination to remove it without disassembling more components, hence facilitating a more efficient method for future attempts.

To access the 2.5 L engine in this vehicle, it is necessary to remove the intake manifold. Is this task challenging for this vehicle? Utilise a 19 mm deep socket to remove it. It may be feasible to detach it using unconventional tools, but I am uncertain. The 2.4 L engine of this vehicle, likely the 2AZ-FE or a comparable model, is readily accessible. I believe you possess the 2.5 L. Is the removal of the intake manifold on the 2.5 L challenging?

Does your 2010 model have the 2.5 L or the 2.4 L four-cylinder engine?

Activate Save Mode. This compels the engine to operate and reach optimal temperature. The stop/start function will not engage during charging.

I consistently utilise a puck with the trolley jack to avert slippage; once positioned on the ground beside the vehicle, the jacking points become evident, characterised by a double thickness of metal and a locating dimple.

I disposed of mine more rapidly by purchasing a set of new wheels that she favoured, amusingly.
